I love cats! I like watching cat videos on YouTube every day. I love taking photos of them, too,
cats that I see when I’m outside – I try to get photos of lots of different kinds. And I collect
things with cats on them – you know, cards or notebooks or T-shirts, things like that. But we
can’t have cats at home because my dad can’t stand them!

I can’t stand having nothing to do – for example, when I wait for the bus or in line at the fast
food place – so I always have puzzle apps on my phone. Sometimes it’s Sudoku, sometimes
a crossword or different word game, but it doesn’t matter – I just love doing puzzles. And it’s
great because I never get bored.

I’m usually busy, but occasionally I have a little free time, especially in the evening after I do
my homework. My favorite thing is looking at maps online. I like using “street view” and I
imagine myself walking in a street somewhere. My dream is to go to New York, so I often
“walk” in the streets there. I try to visit a different place in the world at least once a week.

Go for a walk. I always go for a walk on
Sundays. I like going on my own. It’s
the perfect time to think about all the
things I don’t normally have time to think
about, and I never think about things
I need to do. I like forgetting all about
them just for a few hours every week.

These days, we use credit cards more and more and they all look almost identical. But money
is still with us, in coins and paper money. Paper money is different, and all over the world we can
see examples of really interesting and beautiful designs. The images on the bills usually celebrate
the country – its history, its geography and its animals. Here are some examples of bills from
different parts of the world.
Mexico
Turkey
In Mexico, the currency is the peso. The
smallest bill is $20 pesos, and the biggest is
$1,000 pesos. One side always has the face
of a famous person from Mexican history, and
the other side has well-known places in the
country. On the $500 peso bill there is
a portrait of the former Mexican president,
1
Benito Juárez.
In Turkey, the currency is
the Turkish lira, and there
are six different bills.
Each one shows
Kemal Atatürk, the
founder of the Turkish
republic, on the front
side and another famous
figure from Turkish history
on the other side.
3
Europe
Many countries in Europe use the euro,
but the bills are exactly the same for each
country. On one side, there is a picture of
a gate, window, or entrance, and on
the other side, a bridge. The pictures
represent different kinds of architecture
from all over Europe.
2
B
Brazil
The currency in Brazil is the real (plural,
reais). The bills come in different colors,
but they all have a picture of the Effigy of
the Republic (a national symbol of Brazil)
on one side, and various animals, birds,
and fish on the other side. One of the most
beautiful is perhaps the R$50 bill, which
has a picture of a jaguar.

superfood
The number of people in the world is growing fast – every year there are
about 70 million more people. So, we have two questions that need answers:
Do we have enough space on our planet for so many people? and How can
we make sure they all have enough food to live?
Many people eat too much meat –
steaks, beef, sausage, etc. That’s not
good for us and we need big farms
to produce all that meat. The farms
already use 30% of all the world’s land:
they create greenhouse gases and use
a lot of water and energy.
However, we can do something to
help. We can eat meat only one or
two days a week, for example, and
eat more vegetables – that’s healthy.
We can also eat some different types
of meat – creepy-crawlies! That’s
right, grasshoppers, worms, flies,
and lots of other insects. They’re
the superfood of the future. They
have a lot of protein. Protein is
very important for our health, and
it’s good for our hair and our skin.
Protein keeps our muscles and bones
in good condition, too.
There are two more reasons why
insects are good food options: insect
farms don’t need so much water
and energy. Also, they don’t use so
much space.
For some people in countries in Asia
and Latin America, eating insects is
not unusual. But for people in Europe
and many other countries, it seems
very strange.
What about you? Do you eat any healthy food? How much
meat do you eat in a week? Perhaps you think you don’t eat
insects? But maybe you’re wrong! Why’s that? Because the
red food coloring that is in many things that we eat comes
from … an insect called the “cochineal beetle”!

Part I: The Inuits
Matt
It’s a popular place for tourists in those months. But
the winters are long and hard, and life for the 250
people in the village isn’t easy at all. The roads are
covered in ice, and the ocean is frozen, too.
Hello, I’m Matt Silver, and
this is an article from our
new series, Eating around
the world.
I’m writing this from Kulusuk,
an Inuit village in Greenland.
It’s a pleasant place in the
summer, with mild temperatures
and fantastic views of the icebergs
in the water around the village.
The Inuits don’t have a lot of choices for food. The
summer is too short – not long enough for the Inuits
to grow vegetables. They sometimes find berries
during the warmer months. And they eat seaweed.
But there are no other vegetables, so they don’t eat
enough greens. There is a store in the village, but
during the winter, it doesn’t get any fresh vegetables.
This is why the Inuits eat lots of raw and boiled meat.
They eat marine animals – seals, whales, and fish –
and they eat reindeer and other land animals. These
animals have a lot of fat on them because it keeps
them warm in the freezing temperatures. Do the
Inuits eat too much fat? Isn’t that very dangerous?
Well, here’s the surprise: in the western world,
people say, “Don’t eat too much fat!” But the Inuits
eat a lot of animal fat and they are healthy, perhaps
because they eat boiled rather than fried meat. Life
for the people from Kulusuk can be difficult but they
are healthy. Maybe we can learn a lot from them!

I love old movies and my family loves them, too. My mom and dad always talk about a really

Old movies about families. So you know my opinion, what about yours?

How about the Home Alone movies in the 1990s, all about 8-year-old Kevin McCallister? The first one is definitely
the best. Kevin’s parents forget to take him with them on vacation. Kevin is happy at first because he has the
whole house to himself and his brothers and sisters aren’t there to annoy him. He has a lot of fun stopping two
silly criminals from robbing the family home. But he starts to miss his family, and on Christmas morning, he gets
the best present of all – everyone comes back home!
Julia, Chicago, Illinois
Whose favorite family is the Parrs in The Incredibles? Remember them? The Parrs are like most families. You
know, they fight and argue and have fun. But they’re also a family of superheroes. Dad is super strong. Mom is
super stretchy. Violet, their oldest child, can become invisible, and then nobody can see her. Her younger brother
Dash is super fast, and her baby brother Jack-Jack has laser eyes. I think those movies are great, old or not.
Max, Miami, Florida
I like your comments, Max and Julia. And here are mine. The Addams Family! They’re a really strange family
that lives in a normal town. They all wear black. They live in a huge old house. Other families think they’re
a little bit scary, but they don’t mind. The parents, Gomez and Morticia, and their children, Wednesday and
Pugsley, are happy being different. And there’s Cousin It, too. He (or she – no one is sure) is covered in fur. And
finally, there is Uncle Fester, Gomez’s brother. They’re one of the most well-loved movie families of all time – in
my house, anyway!

One day, Suzie McCash went shopping with her mom in Tynemouth,
England. Suzie was four years old. Her mom didn’t feel very well at the
store, so they went home.
In the house, Suzie’s mom went to lie down on the sofa. She was there
for a long time. Her eyes were shut, and it wasn’t easy for her to breathe.
Suzie was worried. Was her mom really sick? Suzie went to the house
next door, but the neighbors weren’t there. So she called 999 – the
emergency phone number for the police.
The police officer was very kind and Suzie was calm.

And later…
OFFICER: “Can you open the door? Can you be a big girl?”
Soon the police were at their house and an
ambulance was there, too. About an hour later,
Suzie’s mom was OK again. A doctor said, “Her
mummy was very sick. Without Suzie’s phone
call, her mummy might be dead now.”
Suzie’s story was in the newspapers and
people were surprised and happy about it.
She was a very brave girl, and a year later,
she was in the news again because she
was named a Child of Courage at the
Pride of Britain Awards for helping her

FAMILY TRADITIONS
around the world
The idea of the family is important all
over the world, and many countries have
special occasions to celebrate it. Let’s look
at a few …
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL – GERMANY
In Germany, the first day of school is a very important
time for all children. There is a special event called an
Einschulung. Everyone in the family meets to give the child
presents, like pens and books, for their new school life. For
the first day of school, parents give their children a large
paper cone called a Schultüte. Inside, there are things for
school and treats.
B
REMEMBERING YOUR ANCESTORS – JAPAN
In traditional Japanese houses you often find a butsudan.
A butsudan is a special place where you go to remember
your dead relatives. People usually put things on the
butsudan for their ancestors: a book, some flowers, or a
bowl of rice, for example. Adults also tell stories about
these people to their children so they are not forgotten.
TAKING CARE OF ANIMALS – INDIA
Pets are popular in many cultures around the world.
Taking care of an animal helps a child learn how
to be responsible. Every year in India, there is a
Hindu festival called Thai Pongal. During the festival,
families feed cows and birds to give thanks for these
animals. Children also learn that all living things are
connected and must share the world together.
C
WRITING POEMS – THE NETHERLANDS
In the Netherlands, people celebrate a winter holiday on the
5th of December. This holiday is called Sinterklaas. People
give each other presents, but they also have a very special
tradition. Each member of the family writes their name on
a piece of paper and puts it in a hat. Everyone then takes
a name from the hat and writes a poem about that person.
Everyone sits in a circle and reads their poems aloud.

UNIT 5
THE 21ST CENTURY
I
n 2007, Angelo Mastropietro was in the
woods in Worcestershire, UK when it started
to rain. He looked for a place to keep dry and
he discovered a cave house! The cave house was
800 years old. People lived in the rock‒house
for hundreds of years, but from about 1962, no
one lived there and the house stayed empty.
Angelo liked the rock‒house very much. He looked into
the possibility of buying it. It was for sale and in 2010,
he decided to get it. After that, he started to cut into
the rock and to rebuild and modernize the house.
Angelo (who is English, even though his name is Italian)
finished the house in nine months. He was a businessman
before he started the house, and before 2007, he was quite
sick, so he wanted a place where it was possible for him to
live in a happy and healthy way. He realized that he didn’t
need to live in a huge apartment and that being closer to
nature could help him feel better.
He worked for over a thousand hours from beginning to
end, and he used $200,000 to buy the house and all the
things that he needed. He planned everything himself, he
moved about 80 tons of rock himself and he painted the
house. Angelo tried to make a comfortable place to live.
The house has electricity, hot water, and wi‒fi, and there
is heating under the floors of the rooms. Angelo opened a
deep hole 80 meters under the house to get natural water.
The house is not huge. It is about 65 m2, with one
bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom with a
shower. Angelo doesn’t live there all the time, but he uses
the house as a place to go to sometimes, to get away from
his busy city life. It’s also possible to rent the house and to
stay there for a weekend or more. This means that other
people are able to enjoy Angelo’s happy house and maybe
escape from their busy lives for a few days, too.
Following your dreams
6 Look at what some people said about Angelo’s
project. Find the sentences in the text that support
their reasons.
That’s too much work for one person.
He needs a lot more money to get everything.
Sometimes it’s good to escape from everyday life.
Working a lot is not good for him.
Angelo needs to take care of his health.

SPEAKING In pairs imagine you are Angelo.
What do you say to the people in Exercise 6?
It’s not too much work.
It’s fun.
I’m not in a hurry and I feel good
when I finish each part of it.

DAY
6 Our vacation castle
We’re still in Ireland. We arrived in Dublin four days ago. My sister and I liked it
a lot – it was great – we weren’t bored at all! Then yesterday, after lunch, Dad
rented a car and we traveled to the west of Ireland – it didn’t take very long,
just about two and a half hours, but that was a little boring. But, after two
hours, Dad turned around to us and said, “We have a surprise for you. Tonight
our hotel is a castle! How exciting is that!” A joke, right? Wrong! We didn’t
think he was serious, but he was!
At the end of the journey, we stopped outside a real castle. A nice lady
welcomed us and started to show us around. What an amazing place! Can you
believe that we walked up fifty stone steps to get to the living room?
The castle is over 600 years old, but it had everything we needed. There was a
bedroom for our parents and we each had a bedroom, too. But I didn’t sleep
very well last night – I was so excited to be in a real castle!
The castle
is more
than
years old.
This morning we had breakfast and then we climbed up to the top of the
castle. We were amazed at the beautiful view around us. Then it started to rain
and there was a fantastic rainbow – I love rainbows!
The place was so great, we didn’t want to leave. This afternoon, we want to go
to Limerick, so we’re packing our bags again! Can it be
as good as a castle? Let’s see.

have about teenagers.
They don’t respect other people.
Edna The problem with teenagers is that they don’t have
any respect for other people. I was on the bus today,
for example, and some teenagers were annoying
everybody by listening to music on their phones. I
think it’s good for teenagers to like music, but why
don’t they use headphones? We don’t want to listen
to their music. We like different music. They simply
don’t think about other people.
Arthur I think the problem is all the technology. Young
people spend all day playing computer games on
their own and not outside meeting people. A lot
of computer games are about killing people – not
helping people or the local community – so young
people aren’t interested in those things. I understand
that young people need technology these days,
but reading and writing are also important. My
grandson writes me messages saying “R U OK?”,
which is terrible. I feel sorry for their teachers.

TIPS FOR NOT MAKING
JUDGMENTS
• Don’t judge people based on their
appearance. Take time to know them better
and then form an opinion.
• Don’t impose your own values onto others.
Find out and try to understand other
people’s values.
• Avoid generalizing about groups of
people. Remember groups are made up
of individuals with their own personalities
and beliefs.

“Joe” is Joe Hoagland, who was three years
old when the story began. And “Fonzie” is
a 3-meter-long, 275 kilogram dolphin.
When Joe was born, he had a problem with
his heart and doctors had to operate on him.
When he was three, he had another operation.
This operation didn’t go well and he became
paralyzed – he couldn’t move the left side of his
body. The doctors at the hospital didn’t think he
could get better. Deena, Joe’s mother, took him
to different places for physical therapy, but it
wasn’t very successful. Then the family moved
to Florida. Joe liked being in the water and
Deena thought swimming could help him. First,
they went to swimming pools in hotels, but
some hotel guests didn’t like them being there.
Then one day, she went with Joe to a place in
Key Largo called Dolphin Plus, where people
swam with dolphins. Joe met Fonzie there and
the story really began.
UNIT 6
This is the story of Joe and
Fonzie. It’s a story about a
friendship that started more
than 20 years ago. It’s also a story
about a friendship that saved
a life and started a new kind of
help for people with problems.
Soon, Joe wanted to see Fonzie every day. He loved
playing with him and feeding him. Every time that Joe
arrived, Fonzie came to see him. Joe’s mother told
him always to feed Fonzie using his left hand, so Joe
used his left side more and more. Slowly, he got better
and better. He’s now over 30 years old and very well.
Deena saw that Joe’s friendship with Fonzie helped
him a lot, and she knew it was a good idea for other
people, too. So, she and her family worked to open a
place called Island Dolphin Care. It’s next to Dolphin
Plus and many people with health problems
come to spend time with the dolphins.
Sadly, Fonzie died in 2004 when Joe
was 17. He wrote: “Fonzie was a great
friend to me; he and I shared a lot of
good times. He always put a smile
on my face.”

This week, Paul (from Brisbane, Australia) and Annette (from Toulouse,

When and how did your friendship start?
Paul Fifteen years ago! We were both fourteen. My school in Australia and her
school in France started a virtual exchange program for people to write to each
other over the internet.
Annette I wanted to improve my English and he wanted to improve his
French, so we contacted each other.
Did you become friends immediately?
Annette Not really. I thought he was OK but not special. He made lots of
mistakes in his French! Haha.
Paul We corrected each other’s mistakes. But I made more than her! She
corrected everything, too!
Annette Paul always helped me to improve my English, but you know, after
a few months, we stopped worrying about writing in perfect English or French
and just wrote to each other and talked about ourselves. I began to see that he
was a very nice guy, easy-going and cheerful.
Did you feel the same way, Paul?
Paul Yes, I did. She often made jokes that made me laugh. She’s really funny.
Annette And we saw that we had a lot of things in common – books we
liked, movies we liked, things like that. He’s also very intelligent.
So, when did you actually meet face-to-face?

Is there anyone who doesn’t know about those great friends Harry, Hermione,
and Ron in the Harry Potter books? J.K. Rowling’s stories are world‒famous,
and part of their success is because of the friendship between those three
main characters. But there are many examples of great friends in literature.
Let’s look at some more.
In 1844, French writer Alexandre Dumas wrote
.
The story is about a young man called D’Artagnan who goes to Paris to join
the musketeers (special soldiers who protect the king). He meets Athos,
Aramis, and Porthos, three friends who are the greatest musketeers in
France, and they have many adventures together. They often say, “One for
all and all for one,” which shows their strong friendship.
(1894) by Rudyard Kipling is a story about
animals who are very like people – some good, some not so good. But there
is also Mowgli, a small human boy who grows up in the Indian jungle. Many
animals want to find him because he knows how to make fire. Mowgli’s
great friend and guardian is a bear called Baloo and also a black panther
called Bagheera, who help him to escape from the tiger, Shere Khan.
(1937–1949) by J.R.R. Tolkien is a fantasy story
about Frodo, who gets a ring from his uncle Bilbo Baggins. Frodo lives in
a place called the Shire in Middle Earth and has a friend, Sam. When Frodo
leaves the Shire on a long journey with the ring, Sam (as well as some other
friends) goes with him. Sam’s friendship is very important for Frodo: as he
faces many dangerous situations, Sam is always there to help him.
(2011) by Elena
A more modern book is
Ferrante. It is the first of a series of four novels. The story begins in Naples
in the 1950s. Elena and Lila are friends at school, but they have a lot of
arguments, too. As they grow up, life takes them away from each other.
But when they are both old, things happen that bring them together again.

GET IT RIGHT!
UNIT 1
Adverbs of frequency
Words like sometimes, never, always come
between the subject and the verb or adjective.
✓ I sometimes do my homework on the weekend.
✗ I do sometimes my homework on the weekend.
Correct the six adverbs that are in the wrong place.
I have always fun on Saturdays! In the morning, I usually
meet my friends in the park or they come sometimes to my
house. In the afternoon, we go often swimming. I never do
homework on Saturdays. In the evening, we have always
pizza. My mom usually makes the pizza at home, but we
go occasionally to a restaurant. I always am very tired on
Sundays!
like + -ing
We use the ‒ing form of the verb after verbs
expressing likes and dislikes.
✓ He likes watching TV. ✗ He likes watch TV.
Put the correct form of be in the correct place in
the sentences.

What you looking at?
They going shopping today.
I looking for a new jacket.
She wearing a beautiful dress.
Why he laughing? It’s not funny!
Verbs of perception
We use the simple present with verbs of perception
(look, taste, sound, smell) to talk about something
that is true now. We don’t use the present
continuous.
✓ His new jacket looks terrible!
✗ His new jacket is looking terrible!
We use look, taste, sound, smell + adjective,
NOT look, taste, sound, smell + like + adjective.
✓ This pizza tastes awful!
✗ This pizza tastes like awful!

UNIT 2
Present continuous
UNIT 3
We form the present continuous with the simple
present of be before the ‒ing form (e.g., running,
doing, wearing, etc.) of the main verb, i.e., subject +
be + ‒ing form of the verb.
✓ I am looking at the sky.
✗ I looking at the sky.
But in questions, we use the simple present of be
before the person doing the action, i.e., be + subject
+ ‒ing form of verb.
✓ Why are you looking at the sky?
✗ Why you are looking at the sky?
much and many
We use many with plural countable nouns and much
with uncountable nouns.
✓ How many sandwiches do you have?
✗ How much sandwiches do you have?
✓ We don’t have much cheesecake.
✗ We don’t have many cheesecake.

too + adjective, (not) + adjective + enough
We use too + adjective to say there is more than is
necessary of something. We never use too much +
adjective.
✓ The soup was too cold.
✗ The soup was too much cold.
We use not before the adjective and enough after
the adjective to say there is less than is necessary
of something.
✓ The soup wasn’t hot enough.
✗ The soup wasn’t enough hot.
Write a cross (✗) next to the incorrect sentences.
Then correct the sentences.
UNIT 4

We don’t use a/an or the before possessive adjectives
or possessive pronouns.
✓ This is my sister.
✗ This is the my sister.

really old!
When is your birthday? Maybe your mom will give
you a new phone.
Hmm. But the my birthday is in December! I need
a new phone now!
Possessive ’s
We don’t usually use noun + of + noun to talk about
possession. We use name or noun + ’s.

✗ That is the house of my cousin.
Rewrite these sentences using ’s.
1 She’s the sister of my best friend.

UNIT 6
Modifiers: fairly, quite, very, really
Simple past (regular and irregular
verbs)
Remember: we use modifier + adjective (+ noun).
We don’t use noun + modifier + adjective.
✓ Pompeii has a lot of very old buildings.

✓ The buildings are very old.
Be careful when you write these words.
• We write fairly with an -ly ending.

confuse quite with the adjective quiet.

✗ Pompeii is realy interesting.
• We write very with one r.

We went to see our new house on Sunday. My dad wants to
live near his office. It’s realy annoying for me because a lot
of my friends live near my house now. I was very sad when
we went into the house. But when I saw inside it, I was
amazed really! It looked quiet small, but inside it was fairly
big. It had a kitchen really big and the bedrooms were verry
big, too. But the best thing was the yard. It was beautiful
really, with a swimming pool very big and lots of trees. I
think my friends will like visiting my new house!
To make any verb negative in the simple past we
use didn’t + the base form of the verb. We don’t use
didn’t + simple past. Remember to use the base form
of regular and irregular verbs.
✓ We didn’t visit the small house.
✗ We didn’t visited the small house.
Choose the correct answer.

anything interesting.
5 We didn’t spend / spent a lot of time in Paris. It was
too hot!
6 I didn’t knew / know you liked that band.
Double genitive
We form the double genitive with noun + of +
possessive pronoun (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, yours,
theirs). We don’t use object pronouns (me, you, him,
her, our, your, their) to form the double genitive.
✓ She’s a friend of mine.
✗ She’s a friend of me.
We also form the double genitive with noun + of +
possessive adjective (my, your, his, her, our, your,
their) + noun + possessive ’s.
✓ She’s a friend of my sister’s.
✗ She’s a friend of my sister.
Choose the correct answer.

Gina Jones and her sister Karen
have the same hobby. They both
love photography. In fact, they
are both in a photography club.
But they don’t take photographs
of their friends or the interesting
places they go to. They take
photographs of other people
taking photographs! They have a
big collection – more than 2,000.
They write a blog about their
hobby and you can see all their
photos on it. The sisters don’t
know the people in their photos.
They are just people they see
in the street. But they always
ask them if they can use the
photos for their blog. Most people
say yes.
58-year-old Dan Baker loves
roller coasters. Every Saturday,
he visits the Alton Towers theme
park and spends all day on them.
Luckily, he lives very close to it.
Some days he has more than 50
rides. His favorites are Nemesis
and Th13teen. He doesn’t take his
wife with him – she hates roller
coasters – but he often takes
his grandchildren or brother.
He also collects postcards of
roller coasters. Every summer,
he travels to theme parks in
different countries: Six Flags in
Mexico, PortAventura in Spain,
and Everland in South Korea. But
Dan wants more. He wants to ride
every roller coaster in the world.

Adam Roberts is a little different
from a lot of other teenagers.
He likes animals. That’s nothing
strange. Many people his age like
animals. He also keeps animals
as pets. There’s nothing unusual
about that, either. But do most
teens keep spiders, lizards, and
snakes? Adam does. He has a
spider from Brazil, a lizard from
Australia, and a snake from
South Africa. He buys them from
his local pet store. He spends all
his pocket money on his pets,
and he also spends a lot of his
time taking care of them. Adam
knows what he wants to do when
he is older. He wants to work in
the insect house at a zoo.

Every weekend, I go to a
theater group and I love it!
Acting isn’t a very unusual
hobby, but my group is
special. We only mime,
so we never talk in our
shows. Instead, we move, we dance, and
we use music to tell a story. I have lots of
friends in the group and we always have fun
– but when we’re on stage, we don’t speak.
The mime group usually meets on Saturday
mornings, but before a show, we meet
three times a week to practice.
Miming is special because you learn to
communicate without speaking. Some of
my friends don’t like speaking in front of
big groups of people, but they’re good
at miming.

WRITING TIP: Connectors
We use but, and, to, and so to connect two ideas in a sentence.
• We use but to express a contrast.
It’s difficult, but it’s fun.
• We use and to add information.
I like dancing and singing.
• We use to to express an objective.
We go to school to learn.
• We use so to express a consequence.

OLD THINGS,
NEW IDEAS!
We all have a lot of old stuff: clothes and shoes we don’t wear, toys
and games we don’t play with, and books we don’t read. We all want
to buy new things, too. So what do we do with our old things? We
want to hear from you. Do you throw your old things in the trash or do
you recycle them? Let us know!

Kari, Sweden
Hi! I give my old things to second-hand stores, where people can buy them
and reuse them. Today, I’m at the world’s first recycling shopping mall in
Sweden! There are clothing stores, bookstores, and sporting goods stores,
but they ONLY sell second-hand things. The stores look nice and modern,
and they’re always busy. Right now, I’m taking a box of old things to one of
the stores in the mall and then I want to buy some things for my room – all
second-hand, of course!

Jay, New Zealand
Hello there! It’s summer vacation now and I’m helping at a repair center for
technology that people don’t use anymore. People bring their old phones
and computers to the center. We clean and fix them and then we give them
to schools, libraries, and hospitals. l enjoy working on these machines, and
I’m helping other people, too. It’s a great way to give old stuff a new life.

Rosalie, Canada
Do you know about Freecycle? When you have something you don’t want
anymore, for example, a skateboard, you post a photo of it on the Freecycle
website. People go on the website and look at the things. If they want your
skateboard, they contact you and you give it to them. It sounds easy and it
is! My family uses Freecycle a lot. My brother and I are helping our mom add
some photos of our old toys to the website at the moment. That way other
children can have fun with them. Freecycle helps people save money and it
helps the planet because your old things don’t go in the trash!

writing to you!
Are you all right? I hope you’re having more fun than I am

when Logan calls out, “2,500!” The teacher thinks that
Logan was just lucky. “OK,” she says, “let’s make it a
little more difficult. Who’s fastest at finding the sum of
the first 75 odd numbers?” Everybody is thinking hard.
But 15 seconds later, Logan calls out, “5,625!” He’s right
again. The teacher is puzzled. How did Logan do it?

Answer
It’s easy to calculate the sum of a series of consecutive
odd numbers that start with 1. Look!
• What’s the sum of the first three odd numbers? Easy!
Just multiply 3 x 3. The answer: 9!
• What’s the sum of the first nine odd numbers? Again,
not difficult. Just multiply 9 x 9!
• So to get the sum of the first 50 odd numbers you
have to multiply 50 x 50, etc.

five short conversations and then have to choose
the correct picture to answer a question.
• Before you listen, look at the pictures and think
about the words you will probably hear. These
are the words you need to listen for.
• When there are numbers or times in the pictures,
practise saying them to yourself in your head
before you listen.
• Don’t choose the first picture you hear. Often,
you will hear the words in all three pictures. You
need to listen carefully to choose the right one.
• Don’t worry if you don’t get the answer
the first time you listen. You will hear each
conversation twice.
• If you get the answer on the first listening, use
the second time to check it.

I have an unusual hobby and I think
it’s really cool. What is it? Circus
skills! Yes, that’s right. I’m learning
the tricks they do in circuses – like
acrobatics, juggling with balls, and
other things! People often think
I want to work in a circus – I don’t!
I just love doing the tricks.
Why do I like it? Because it’s fun and
I move a lot. I spend all day sitting
down at school, so I like being
active in my free time. You need
to be very fit to do circus skills.
Also, I’m learning new things all
the time, and I feel really good
when I can do a new trick.
I go to Circus School twice
a week after school. Each
lesson is two hours. At the
moment, we’re learning
to ride a unicycle (that’s a
bike with only one wheel).
It looks easy, but it’s really
difficult, believe me!

What food do people eat on national
days and festivals in your country?
Let us know in the comments below.
CELEBRATING
WITH FOOD!
CHILE EN NOGADA
Hi, I’m Alejandra and I’m from Mexico.
On September 16th, we celebrate Independence Day with
a special dish called chile en nogada. We eat it on this day
because this dish has the same colors as the Mexican flag:
green, white, and red! The main ingredient is a large green
poblano pepper with meat, vegetables, fruit, and spices
inside it. There’s a white sauce over the pepper and some
red fruit seeds on top. Everyone loves this dish, so we make
enough for all the family and that takes a long time!

MOONCAKES
Hello! I’m Li-Na from China.
We have a festival for the first full moon of autumn and
some people call it the Mooncake Festival! Mooncakes
are round like the moon and they look beautiful. Inside
there is a sweet cream that is often made from red beans.
Yes, beans in a dessert! And it tastes really good. Families
get together on this special day. At night, we go outside
to look at the moon, eat mooncakes, and drink tea – lots
of tea. How many cakes do we eat? Too many – because
they are so delicious!

HAGGIS
Hi there! I’m Duncan from Scotland.
We always eat haggis on January 25th, Burns’ Night, to
celebrate the birthday of a Scottish poet, Robert Burns.
Haggis is simple food made with cheap ingredients: sheep
meat, vegetables, and grain – boiled in a sheep’s stomach!
I know, it sounds disgusting – but it’s really tasty!
c
On Burns’ Night, the haggis is at the center of the
celebrations. We stand and listen to Scottish music when
my mom puts it on the table. My dad reads a famous
Robert Burns’ poem about a haggis, then we sit down and
enjoy a good dinner.

I eat a lot because I need
enough energy to swim! I swim
three times a week and enter
lots of competitions. I eat a
healthy diet with a lot of fruit,
vegetables, fish and pasta.
But I don’t eat many cakes
and biscuits. After swimming
practice, I’m always really
hungry, so I eat bananas and
drink a lot of water.
Ethan
I love cooking. I want to be a
top chef when I grow up! I help
with the cooking at home. I really
enjoy making dinner with my
mum or dad, because we chat
while we’re cooking. I usually
make lunch for my sisters too
when my parents are out at
work. This year, I’m doing a
cooking course after school, so
I’m learning a lot of new recipes.
I’m careful about the food
I eat because I can’t eat food
with milk in it. There’s milk
in a lot of food you buy, so
I always read the ingredients!
I know what I can and can’t
eat. My parents buy special
milk made from nuts and
I put it on cereals and in hot
drinks. I love going to vegan
restaurants because I know
I can eat everything there.

We’re Watching You is a simple but great
idea: put a tiny camera on the front of the TV
in several family homes and record them, and
then make it into a TV show. And that’s all it is,
a TV show that shows us real people watching
real TV. Exciting? Not really. But it is really,
really funny.
Of course, all the people on the show know that a
camera is recording them, but they soon forget it’s
there, and then the fun starts.

c Lucy
d Joe
5 What happens in your family when you watch TV?
Are they similar to anyone in the Collins family?
My sister only watches cartoons. She’s similar to Joe.
There is the Collins family from Chicago. Mike, the
dad, can never find the remote control and soon
starts shouting at his kids, Joe and Lucy, to find
it. Of course, as his wife, Anna, says, he always
finds it – he is usually sitting on it! Anna only wants
to watch sports, but her husband wants cooking
shows, Joe wants cartoons, and Lucy wants a
quiet house without TV. Usually, no one gets what
they want.
And then there’s the Lawson family from San
Francisco. They sit down together and watch a
movie every Saturday night. It always starts off well,
but soon there are problems. Grandpa John can’t
hear very well. He always wants to turn the volume
up. This upsets his daughter, Georgia, who hates
the loud noise. So Grandpa turns it down, but then
he asks his grandson, Paul, to tell him what people
are saying. This makes Paul angry. And then his
mom often walks in front of the TV into the kitchen
to get a glass of water. Poor Paul – he doesn’t want
a glass of water; he just wants to watch the movie.
We’re Watching You is fun to watch, but I’m glad
those cameras aren’t in my home!

WRITING TIP: an invitation
• Invitations don’t need to be long, but they need to
contain all the important information – day, time,
and place.
• In invitations to friends, we use friendly, informal
language. Use expressions to make the person feel
very welcome. (Please come, I hope you can come,
Please say “yes.”)
• In formal invitations, begin with Dear … and use
expressions like Would you like to … ? instead of
Do you want to …?
• Don’t forget to ask the person to reply.
Choose TWO situations and plan your
invitations.

traditions. Mark the sentences T (true) or F (false).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY AROUND THE WORLD
H
ow do you celebrate your birthday? With a cake, a
party for your friends, with games and fun for all?
In some countries birthday celebrations are really unusual.
In some parts of India, for example, on a child’s first
birthday, the parents cut off the child’s hair. This
happens to both boys and girls, and there is a party
to celebrate.
In Vietnam, they celebrate everybody’s birthday on New
Year’s Eve. Parents give their children a paper envelope
with coins in it – “lucky money.”
In Korea, they celebrate day number 100 after the child
is born. Children get rice cakes with honey and red and
black beans. Families make sure a child gets a lot of
these rice cakes. When a child gets a 100 rice cakes, this
means that they will live
a long, happy life.
When children in
Denmark wake up on
their birthday, there are
presents all around the
bed. Some children are
so excited that they find
it difficult to fall asleep
the night before!

If the verb ends in consonant + ‒y (e.g., try), we
change the ‒y to ‒i and add ‒ed.

The exceptions to this rule are pay and say:
pay – paid

BIG HOUSES,
SMALL HOUSES
Some of us live in big houses; some of us live in small houses.
Some of us live in apartments in very tall buildings; some of
us live in bungalows next to the ocean. But most of us live in
houses that look like … well … houses. But not everyone. Some
people like things that are a little different, and that includes
their homes. For example, there’s a house that looks like a
strawberry in Japan, another one that looks like a mushroom
in Ohio, US, and there’s a toilet-shaped house in South Korea.
There’s even a house in Poland that is completely upside down!
1
Maybe you know the children’s poem about the old lady who
lived in a shoe. In Pennsylvania, US, there is a real shoe house.
Of course, it’s not really a shoe, just a house in the shape of
a shoe. A local shoe manufacturer named Mahlon N. Haines
had the idea of building it. He used it as a guesthouse. When
he died, it became an ice cream store for a while. These days,
it’s a museum.
The One Log House in Garberville, California, US, is a onebedroom house inside the trunk of a 2,000-year-old giant
redwood tree. It took two people seven months to remove all
the inside of the tree and make a living space that is just over
two meters high and nearly 10 meters long.
2
Joanne Ussary from Benoit, Mississippi, in the US, lives in a
plane. It’s a Boeing 727 without the wings. The plane cost
$2,000 and it cost another $4,000 to move it on to her land.
She spent another $24,000 making it into a home.
It’s not the only “flying” home in the US. In Chattanooga,
Tennessee, there is a house in the shape of a spaceship: a
round white disc with four legs.
And believe it or not, there is a walking house in Denmark.
It’s a hexagonal tube supported by six metal legs. It can move
over most surfaces. It is a collaboration between Danish artists
and scientists. Moving homes couldn’t be any easier. When
you want to live somewhere new, just push a button and walk
your house to a new location.

WRITING TIP: adjectives
Posted: Tuesday, January 5th
Welcome to
• Use adjectives to describe things. Adjectives give
more information about things and make our
writing more interesting.
• Adjectives go before nouns. (a long mirror)
• If there is more than one adjective before the noun,
they usually go in this order: opinion, size, color,
material. (a beautiful big room; a red plastic chair;
a comfortable blue bed)
MY WORLD – MY ROOM
1
At the top of the stairs, next to the
bathroom, there’s a very special room.
It’s small but quite cosy. This room is very
important to me because it’s my bedroom!
2
I love my room. It’s bright and warm. The
walls are light blue and it has a big window.
The sun shines through it every morning.
There’s a comfortable bed under the
window. I have a small wooden desk with
my laptop on it and some bookshelves
above it. There’s also a wardrobe for my
clothes, with a long mirror.
3
I feel really relaxed in my bedroom. It’s
quiet, so I can study in there. Sometimes I
go there to listen to music, watch videos, or
just to lie on the bed and think. I never feel
bored in my room.

b talks about how the room makes Mark feel?

This year a new documentary series appeared
on TV called Young at Heart.
The show matched teenagers with senior citizens and asked them to meet
twice a week for two months. They filmed what happened when the pairs spent
time together. Two of these people were Amelia Ross and Mary Edwards.
Mary is a 76-year-old retired nurse who lives alone. She has some good friends, but
they live in different cities and she doesn’t see them often. She likes meeting new
people and keeping fit, so she goes to salsa dancing classes twice a week. Amelia is
a 14-year-old student. She loves music and wants to be a singer. In her free time,
she likes chatting with her friends on her phone and watching videos online.
She doesn’t like sports.
Before Mary met Amelia, she didn’t like teenagers very much. In her opinion,
they spent too much time on their phones. Amelia thought that old
people were boring and strict.
When they met for the documentary, Mary was surprised that
Amelia didn’t do any exercise, so she invited her to a salsa class.
Amelia didn’t really want to go, but she had a great time. Mary
is really outgoing and they laughed a lot together. Later, Amelia
found out that Mary had a cell phone but didn’t know how to
use it. It was still in the box! Amelia showed her how to send
messages to her friends and to listen to music online. Mary
didn’t like the same songs as Amelia, but she enjoyed
discovering new music styles. In one episode of the
series, she asked Amelia to sing for her. Amelia was
a little shy, but she agreed. Mary loved her voice and
said she should enter the school talent show. Amelia
was nervous, but she followed this advice. It was a
good idea because she won first prize!
By the end of the series, Amelia and Mary were good
friends. Amelia still goes to the salsa classes and Mary
is an expert with her tablet now. They say they plan to
keep in touch in the future.

When teens make
BAD DECISIONS
PSYCHOLOGISTS at Temple University in Philadelphia,
US did an interesting experiment. They asked teenagers to
play a video game that involved driving a car. They could
win prizes for driving fast. But the faster they drove, the
bigger their risk was of losing the prize money. For half
the time, the teenagers played the game on their own,
and for the other half the psychologists told them that
their friends were in the room next door, watching them.
The results were fascinating: when the teens played the
game on their own, they made much better decisions.
When they thought their friends were watching, their
driving was much more dangerous. They drove faster,
had more accidents, and often didn’t stop at red lights.
Psychologists say that teens should think carefully
before making important decisions when their friends
are present!

Simple present
Present continuous
1 We use the simple present for actions that happen
repeatedly or habitually.
1 We use the present continuous for actions that are
happening now or around the time of speaking.
Paul often goes to the movies.
We have dinner at 8:00 every evening.
We also use the simple present for things that are
always or normally true.
The sun comes up in the east.
We go to a big school in London.
2 With most subjects, the simple present is the same
as the base form of the verb. However, with a third
person singular subject (he, she, it), the verb has
an ‒s ending.
I play tennis on Saturdays.
She plays tennis on Saturdays.
If a verb ends with ‒sh, ‒ch, ‒ss, or ‒x, we add ‒es.

If a verb ends with consonant + ‒y, we change
the ‒y to ‒i and add ‒es.
she studies, he worries
If a verb ends with vowel + ‒y, then it is regular.
play ➜ plays, say ➜ says, buy ➜ buys
3 The negative of the simple present is formed with
don’t (do not) or doesn’t (does not) + base form of
the verb.
I don’t like carrots.
She doesn’t like carrots.
4 Simple present questions and short answers are
formed with do or does.
Do you like cats?
Does Jo live here?
Yes, I do. / No, I don’t.
Yes, she does. / No, she doesn’t.
like + -ing
1 After verbs that express likes and dislikes, we often
use verb + ‒ing.
We love watching movies at home.
My sister enjoys reading travel books.
2 If a verb ends in ‒e, we drop the ‒e before adding ‒ing.
live ➜ living ride ➜ riding
If a short verb ends in consonant + vowel +
consonant, we usually double the final consonant
before adding ‒ing.
My friends and I are playing an online game right now.
It’s raining now.
2 The present continuous is formed with the simple
present of be + verb + ‒ing.
I’m listening to music.
I’m not listening to music.
You’re walking very fast! You aren’t walking very fast.
Alison is talking to Jo.
Alison isn’t talking to Jo.
3 The question is formed with the simple present
of be + subject + verb + ‒ing. Short answers are
formed using Yes/No + pronoun + the correct form
of be (positive or negative).
Is Susanna eating?
Yes, she is. / No, she isn’t.
Are the boys having fun? Yes, they are. / No, they aren’t.
What are you doing?
Why is she crying?
Verbs of perception
Verbs of perception (taste / smell / look / sound) are
not used in the present continuous when they are
used to give an opinion. They are used only in the
simple present.
This juice doesn’t taste very nice.
Mmm! The food smells amazing!
These pants don’t look very good on me.
I don’t know who the singer is, but she sounds wonderful.
Simple present vs. present continuous
1 We use different time expressions with the simple
present and the present continuous.
Simple present: every day, on Mondays, on the weekend,
usually, sometimes, often, never
Present continuous: today, right now, at the moment
James usually walks to school, but today he’s taking the bus.
2 Some verbs aren’t normally used in the continuous
form. They are called state verbs or stative verbs
because they talk about a state, not an action. Here
are some common examples:
believe, know, understand, remember, want, need, mean,
like, hate
I believe you. He knows a lot about music.
Morgan wants to have dinner now.
get ➜ getting, shop ➜ shopping

Countable nouns have both singular and plural
forms, for example:

But uncountable nouns do not have a plural form.
They are always singular, for example:
2 We usually use many and much in negative
sentences and questions.
I don’t go to many concerts.
How many eggs do you want?

lots of. A lot of / lots of can be used with plural
countable nouns and with uncountable nouns.
Chris has a lot of / lots of DVDs.
You can get a lot of / lots of things on the Internet.
food, music, money, rice, bread, information

and with uncountable nouns to say that we think
more is / are needed.

1 We use too + adjective to say that it’s more than we
like or want.

of something is, we use the word whose.

yesterday, yesterday morning, last night, last week,
a month ago, two years ago, on Sunday
Possessive ’s
Modifiers: fairly, very, really, quite
1 To talk about possession we can add ’s to the end
of a name / noun.
1 We use the words fairly, very, really, and quite to
say more about an adjective. The words very, quite,
and really make an adjective stronger.

2 If the name / noun ends in an ‒s (for example, plural
nouns), we add the apostrophe (’) after the final ‒s.

events in the past.

long)

1 A lot of common verbs are irregular. This means
that the simple past form is different – they don’t
have the usual ‒ed ending.
go ➜ went, see ➜ saw, eat ➜ ate, think ➜ thought
2 The form of the simple past for these verbs is the
same for all persons (I / you / he / she / it / we / they).

(positive and negative)
1 In the simple past, regular verbs have an ‒ed
ending. The form is the same for all subjects.

If a verb ends with consonant + ‒y, we change the
‒y to ‒i and add ‒ed.
study ➜ studied try ➜ tried marry ➜ married
If a short verb ends in consonant + vowel +
consonant, we double the final consonant before
adding ‒ed.
stop ➜ stopped plan ➜ planned
If a short verb ends in consonant + vowel + ‒y,
it is regular.
play ➜ played stay ➜ stayed
2 The simple past negative is formed with didn’t
(did not) + base form of the verb. The form is the
same for all subjects:

124

simple past.

same way as regular verbs: didn’t (did not) + base
form of the verb.

I didn’t know the answer to the question.
Simple past: (regular and irregular
verbs) questions and short answers
1 Simple past questions and short answers are
formed with did. The form is the same for regular

2 Short answers are formed with Yes / No + pronoun
+ did / didn’t.
Did you like the movie? Yes, I did.
Did she call you last night? No, she didn’t.
Double genitive
We use the double genitive to talk about one of many
things that we have. We form it with noun + of +
