Example answers
1 Oh, I’d like to go back to the Tang Dynasty because in many
ways that was a golden age for Chinese culture.
2 Well, among educated people it was normal to write poems,
paint and write calligraphy –I like the idea of that – and there
were quite a few innovations in science, technology and
architecture so for some people life
would have been exciting.
3 Really, many aspects of daily life were a
lot worse, especially for ordinary people:
People died at a younger age, I suppose
many people didn’t have enough to eat
and perhaps daily life was really quite
harsh compared to modern times.
Starting point
Example answers
4 Modern music and all the electronic gadgets like computers,
mobile phones, TV, and so on.
5 I’m sure I could, but I’m equally sure that it would be really
difficult at first because of the shock of not having so many
things that we rather take for granted. Still, I know I would be
tough enough to survive!
Starting point
Example answers
6 In the streets they would be shocked by all the buses, cars
and even bicycles and they would have a big surprise when
they went into the shops to look at clothes, food and things
like books. They might be shocked by how much knowledge
there is around nowadays … all the advances in science,
medicine, communications, and so on … They’d get a huge
shock from TV, not just from the TV itself but even more
from what they could see
around the world on TV, not to
mention the entertainment –
they probably would like some
of it!

Language and culture(1): Daedalus
According to stories from ancient Greece,
Daedalus was a craftsman and architect who
made a labyrinth (a maze) on the island of
Crete for King Minos. The king kept him a prisoner so that he wouldn’t
tell people the secret of thelabyrinth but Daedalus
made wings for himself and his son, Icarus,
out of feathers and wax so that they could
escape from the island. Against the father’s
warnings, Icarus flew too high and went
near the sun so the wax melted and the
feathers came off the wings. Icarus fell
into the sea and drowned but Daedalus
escaped to Sicily.

Language and culture(2): Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci (1452–1519), the
Italian artist and scientist, around
1485 made detailed drawings and
designs for mechanical wing devices
that a person would flap and so be
able to fly in a human-powered flying
machine. In the National Museum of
Science and Technology in Milan, Italy,
there is a special gallery which has a
collection of models of the machines
designed by Leonardo.

Language and culture(3): Otto Lilienthal
Otto Lilienthal (May 23, 1848—August 10, 1896)
was a German pioneer of human aviation who
became known as the Glider King. He was the first
person to make well-documented, repeated,
successful gliding flights. He followed an experimental approach established
earlier by Sir George Cayley. Newspapers and magazines published
photographs of Lilienthal gliding,
favorably influencing public and
scientific opinion about the
possibility of flying machines
becoming practical. In 1896
Lilienthal died in a glider crash.

Language and culture(4): Wright Brothers
Wilbur and Orville Wright were Americans who
invented and built the first successful aeroplane
and thus made a controlled flight in a heavierthan-air powered machine. The Wrights became
interested in the work of German inventor Otto
Lilienthal. They began experimenting with large kites and
gliders. On December 17, 1903, they
made the first airplane flight. It
lasted only 12 seconds, but those 12
seconds changed history. In 1909,
the brothers formed the Wright
Company to build airplanes.

Brazil. Heir of a prosperous coffee producer
family, Santos Dumont dedicated himself to
science studies in Paris.
Santos Dumont designed,
built, and flew the first practical dirigible
balloons (飞船), which demonstrated
that controlled flight was possible. He
became famous in 1901 after flying
from Parc Saint Cloud around the
Eiffel Tower and back (11 km) in less

considered to be the first pilot to travel faster than sound (1947), flying the
experimental Bell X-1 at Mach 1(the speed sound); in 1953 he flew at Mach
2.4. He later commanded fighter squadrons and wings in Germany and in
Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. Yeager's flying career spans more
than sixty years and has taken him to every corner of the globe, including
the Soviet Union during
the height of the
Cold War.

Fill in the blanks in the summary.
A new American study has found that organic farming could
increase profit for farmers. It also found that trees grown
organically could produce better tasting fruit. Organic food
is one of the fastest growing areas of American agriculture.
The number of organic farmers is growing at a rate of about
12% each year.
Scientists made some experiment which is believed to be one
of the first to compare the effectiveness of organic farming
with other methods.
In the study, the scientists grew Golden
Delicious apples on three experimental
___________
farms in Washington State. The
scientists used a different method on
each farm.

On one farm, they treated the apple trees with ________
fertilizer
products and chemicals to control insects, weeds and disease.
The scientists used organic farming methods on the second
biological
farm. They used natural wastes as fertilizer and _________
methods to control insects. On the third farm, the scientists
used both methods. They added chemical treatments, but
limited their use.
The scientists kept detailed records of their experiment.
They even measured the amount of fuel used by farm
machinery. The scientists found that the organic system took
longer than the other methods to
earn a profit . However, organic
farming was the most
energy efficient and did the
least harm to the environment.

Example answers
Modern life is more comfortable
than the old way of living.
This is generally true if you think of home life but I am
not sure if most workplaces are comfortable … I think
some are full of stress.
Most technological advances help us save
time doing routine tasks.
Yes, true – except when something goes wrong and then you
spend a long time putting it right.
Our traditions are an important part of our culture and
should be preserved.
Not necessarily. I agree that traditions in music, dancing, art,
and some cultural customs should be preserved but I’m glad
some traditions have changed or disappeared, like the
practices of footbinding or arranged marriages.
Modern media and technology shorten the human
brain’s attention span.
People who say this usually think of short TV adverts and 25minute TV programmes but some people play computer games
for hours or watch three-hour films, so I don’t agree.
We should carefully evaluate
the pros and cons of new
technology rather than
wholeheartedly accepting
everything new.
Actually, yes, I find this statement the easiest to agree with.
When you think about it carefully most items of new
technology have both advantages and disadvantages but we
are encouraged to think only about the advantages (by
salespeople and most of our friends).

Pros:
1) Modern technology can make our life easy and convenient,
e.g. mobile phones: We can talk to our friends and family
easily from afar, and on some phones we can access the
Internet to get the news or watch films.
2) Think about medical technology. They
clearly make our life better. Making our
lives longer and healthier would be part
of a better life.

Reference
cons:
1) A mobile phone can be very
annoying … you know, you are talking seriously to
someone and a phone rings and everyone stops while
the person answers it, and it turns out to be something
trivial, which has just stopped a good civilized
conversation. It’s not a better life when that happens!
2) Take instant noodles as an example. They
are a result of technology and very
convenient but not so tasty and healthy
as home-made noodles, so I don’t think
they make a better life.

Pronunciation exercise II : speech rhythm
English is considered a stressed language, which means that,
in English, we give stress to certain words while other words
are quickly spoken (some students say eaten!).
Basically, stress words are considered CONTENT WORDS,
such as
Nouns e.g. kitchen, Peter
(most) principal verbs e.g. visit, construct
Adjectives e.g. beautiful, interesting
Adverbs e.g. often, carefully
>>>>>>
Pronunciation exercise II : speech rhythm
Non-stressed words are considered FUNCTION WORDS,
such as
Determiners e.g. the, a, some, a few
Auxiliary verbs e.g. don't, am, can, were
Prepositions e.g. before, next to, opposite
Conjunctions e.g. but, while, as
Pronouns e.g. they, she, us
Example:
Jack (stressed) went (stressed) to
the shop (stressed) to grab
(stressed) some coke (stressed).
Let’s see how this affects speech.
Read the following two sentences aloud and count how
many seconds they take.
1) The beautiful Mountain appeared transfixed in the
distance. (14 syllables)
2) He can come on Sunday s as long as he doesn't have to
do any homework in the evening . (22 syllables)
Even though the second sentence
is approximately 30% longer than
the first, the sentences may take
the same time to speak. This is
because there are 5 stressed
words in each sentence.
Your turn to practice.
1) Speak through the following sentences trying to
carefully pronounce EVERY word. Notice how unnatural
this sounds.
2) Next, focus on speaking the
sentences stressing only content
words.
3) Discuss with your partner the
contrast between this unnatural
pronunciation and the natural way of
speaking.
1) By the time he receives this letter, I will have caught the
train to Paris.
2) Following closely behind the herd was a group of filthy,
disgusting vultures.
3) I'll make sure to give him a ring the next time I'm in town.
4) Not only are the exams required, but
they are also absolutely imperative for
your further education.
5) Hey, have you seen the new film with
Bruce Willis? You know, the one where
he's supposed to be a sensitive doctor.

Answers to Exercise 3
To fly like a bird. It’s a desire that captures the human
imagination. The Greeks told stories of Daedalus, an inventor
who created wings made of wax and feathers and flew. The
first person who seriously tried to fly like a bird was an Italian
artist and inventor, Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci designed
complex and wondrous flying machines, but his designs never
got off the ground. Early
inventors, like da Vinci,
tried to fly by flapping,
just like birds.

Talking about your favorite gadgets
1. Pair work
Work in pairs. Make a list of technological gadgets you
couldn’t live without. For each gadget, try to identify the
following aspects:
 What type of gadget is it?
 Why couldn’t you live without
it?
 How long have you had it?
 How does it work?
 What special functions does it
have?
