I think “Dress professionally” is the most important tip because the interviewer won’t even listen to what you have to say if you are dressed badly. If you dress neatly and professionally, it shows that you care about the impression you are making. It also shows that you will look professional if you get the job. I think talking about my accomplishments is the hardest thing to do because I always feel like I am bragging. But I know that interviewers really want to know about my accomplishments. 2. I think the best way to make an interviewer interested in me is by giving thoughtful answers to the questions and being enthusiastic about the job. If I give thoughtful answers, it will show that I want to do my best. Employers want to hire people who are willing to work hard and do their best. If I’m enthusiastic, the interviewer will see that I really care about the job. Employers don’t want to hire people who don’t want to work at their companies. Activity B, p. 15 Answers will vary.

Car companies want to make driverless cars because they may be safer than human drivers. Drivers sometimes make bad decisions, but a driverless car would use accurate data to make the right decisions.

Car companies could make a lot of money if they could convince people to get rid of their old cars and buy new, expensive, driverless cars. 2. I would consider buying a driverless car.

Our lives are more satisfying when we control technology, not when technology controls us. 2. Technology can help people do their work more easily and quickly. It can also help people communicate. You can be connected with friends around the world in a few seconds. But technology can take people away from interacting with others in the real world. Sometimes people spend more time online than they do talking with friends and family. VOCABULARY SKILL Activity A, pp. 65–66 1.

You can’t even watch a game without it being interrupted every five minutes. The constant interruption takes away from your enjoyment of it. You can miss things sometimes because of advertisements. When the ads are finished, you see an instant replay of what you missed. But that’s not as exciting as it seems. 3. The most common place to find ads targeting children is on television. A lot of the advertising is for food products. Some are for toys. 4.

You could die from the cold water, or you could drown. You could also be eaten by a shark. 3.

GRAMMAR Activity A, p. 115 Simple past verbs are boxed and present past perfect verbs are underlined The storm began quickly and wildly. I was sitting in my living room watching the ocean as the waves grew in size and strength. Many people told me I was foolish to stay in my house and not seek shelter away from the beach. But this was my home. I had always stayed put during previous hurricanes, and this was no exception. I knew I was taking a risk, but I thought maybe I could help others who might be in need. The ferocious winds died down almost as quickly as they had started. As I inspected my house, I realized the basement contained 60 centimeters of water. Fortunately, I had removed anything valuable before the storm. Then I noticed the flood of water running down the street. The street was no more, replaced by a river running through the neighborhood. As I was surveying the area, I heard shouts from down the street. I walked out to the garage and grabbed my kayak. This would provide my transportation for the next few hours. I paddled down the street to where the shouts were coming from. One of my AK-25 Reading and Writing 3 Unit 5 Student Book Answer Key neighbors—another risk-taker—had stayed in his house, but the water had poured into the second floor. He and his family, including two small children, were left with only the attic to stay in. I tied a rope to each of the children and placed them into the kayak. I paddled them to the end of the street where the water subsided and pavement was visible. We finally reached an undamaged home, and I lifted the children to safety. Then I returned to help their parents. Though the flooding went on through the night, the damage had been done in minutes. Some people thought I had taken an unnecessary risk by staying in the house, but saving my neighbor and his family was proof enough for me that I had made the right decision.

Possible answer: I do not ask for the same kind of help from strangers that I do from my family and friends. For example, I might ask a friend to give me a ride to school if my car breaks down. If I need advice about a problem in my life, I may ask my sister or mother for help. However, I would never ask for a ride from a stranger or seek advice about a personal problem from someone I do not know. I don’t usually ask strangers for help unless it is something simple, like holding a door open or asking for directions.

Possible answer: I don’t think the bystander effect is a good excuse for not helping a stranger in need. In fact, if more people knew about the bystander effect, I think they would be surprised. They would understand why people don’t help when there are a lot of people around. Therefore, they might want to help because nobody else will. WRITE WHAT YOU THINK Activity A, B, p. 127 Answers will vary. Possible answers: 1. Yes, I once didn’t help someone who needed help. I didn’t help him because I was afraid of getting hurt. People might not help a stranger because they’re afraid or because they don’t think the stranger deserves it. They also might not help a stranger if they are in a hurry. They might think someone else who is not in a hurry can help the stranger. 2. I think people in cities are more helpful to strangers because they’re more used to strangers. People in AK-28 Reading and Writing 3 Unit 6 Student Book Answer Key cities are surrounded by strangers all the time. They probably have had many experiences when strangers have helped them. Also, people in cities probably see a lot of tourists who need help. It’s easy to help tourists by giving them directions. 3. No, I don’t think culture is a factor because helping others is human nature. I think anyone from any culture would want to help someone. For example, once I witnessed a car accident.

A lot of charities give money to people who are poor. When people give money to poor people, they feel like they are doing the right thing. Also, it is hard for one person to help a lot of people, but if people donate to charities, their money can be combined, and it can go to many people in need all over the world. For example, many people donate money to charities for children in Africa who do not have enough food to eat. Activity C, p. 129 Answers will vary.

Working with these businesses enabled me to get donations of computers, books, and office supplies, as well as clothing and furniture. Every Saturday I set up a market in an empty building for people to purchase the goods. With the money I earned, I was able to purchase items needed for start-up businesses. I wanted to encourage people to follow their dreams, and in the process, to have a source of income. My first recipient was a single mother who made beautiful clothes in her home. With the money I loaned her, she was able to purchase a sewing machine and expand her business. Soon she was AK-33 Reading and Writing 3 Unit 7 Student Book Answer Key Q: Skills for Success Second Edition selling her hand-made clothes on the Internet.
