Unit 1, Lesson 3, Ex. 1a

If you want to have a test,

Camps in summer are the best.

Children jump and swim and run,

Summer camps are always fun!

Unit 1, Lesson 3, Ex. 3a

Camp leader: Hello, kids. You are in the Pulawy International summer camp. Our camp is a busy place so you have something to do every day. On Sundays we usually go swimming in the morning, play board games in the afternoon and sing in the evening. On Mondays we go on a long trip in the morning and in the afternoon . In the evenings we watch films. On Tuesdays in the morning we usually go swimming; then have a picnic in the afternoon and have a concert and disco in the evening. On Wednesdays we learn to read maps, go on a hike in the afternoon and play board games in the evening. On Thursdays we go fishing, then – cook Polish food from the fish we have caught and play ball games in the evening. On Fridays we go swimming in the morning, then – draw or read favourite books and, finally – sit by the camp fire in the evening. On Saturdays we make presents for our visitors in the morning, have visitors in the afternoon and again have a disco and concert in the evening. My favourite day is Friday. I love sitting by the camp fire and telling stories. Welcome to Pulawy. Have the time of your life!

Unit 1, Lesson 3, Ex. 4b

Nick: I go to summer camps every year. What do I like about them? Many things, actually. Every year I go swimming, I go on a hike every week in the camp. I often sit by the fire with my new friends. I climb mountains and go on interesting trips. I also play a lot of board games. Summer camps are always fun!

Unit 1, Lesson 4, Ex. 4a

Did they go to a summer camp last summer?

In 2012 they were at a summer camp.

They didn’t go to Ireland.

They went on trips and hikes.

They played board games and did sports.

They sang by the camp fire.

Unit 1, Lesson 5, Ex. 3a

H - Host, WS - Wes Shaw, JM - Jess Morton, AG - Amy Grey

Host: Hello, everybody! Today in “Summer Time” we’ll talk to Wes Shaw, Jess Morton and Amy Grey who are summer camps coordinators. Hi, guys!

WS, JM, AG: Hello! Hi! Hi!

H: And my first question is … parents don’t sometimes want to send their kids to summer camps. Is it true?

WS: Well, yes, that’s right. And not only parents. A lot of children at the age of 11 or 12 are very nervous when going to a summer camp for the first time. I remember I thought that I could meet aggressive and unfriendly children and I believed it was very difficult to make new friends when I went to a camp for the first time.

H: But was it really so?

JM: Absolutely different! You see when a kid goes to a summer camp, far from home and parents, grandmas and granddads they feel they are big and they can learn and do a lot of things themselves. Let’s look at some examples.

H: Oh, yes. I see you’ve brought some pictures with you. Hmm, these faces are very well-known. This is Cindy Crawford, a famous top model, and this is my favourite actress Natalie Portman, a star of “Star Wars”, ha-ha. And look at these two. Robert Downey junior, a famous Sherlock Homes and a star of the world basketball Michael Jordan. Why do you have their pictures with you, guys?

WS: You know they all were happy campers at the places where we worked. For example, Cindy came to our US Air Force Academy Science Camp back in 1980.

H: Science Camp??? What a surprise?

WS: Yes, she went there and exercised her brain a lot. She learnt a lot of things that helped her to do better at school. And of course she went on hikes, played different team games, did sports and sat by the fire.

H: Did you think she could become a top model?

WS: Well, she was a very beautiful girl at that time and other campers gave her a nickname. Her nickname was “Legs”.

H: Wow! That’s interesting. What about Natalie Portman? Did she have any nicknames?

JM: I don’t know really! She went to our Stagedoor Manor Arts Camp as a normal girl. She was a nice girl and very talented. Robert Downey Junior was our camper as well.

H: Really? Two future film stars at one camp!

JM: Yeah. I think they both got their first chance to shine at Stagedoor Manor. They played at out theatre a lot, they made fantastic shows, they sang and danced.

H: Did they stay at your camp at the same time?

JM: No, no, of course not! Robert Downey was our camper in 1978 and Natalie stayed at Stagedoor Manor in 1993.

H: And Amy, tell us who packed his bags to go to Five-Star Basketball Camp in Pittsburgh?

AG: It was Michael Jordan of course! He went to our camp to play basketball as much as possible. He also watched basketball videos and film, read books about basketball and worked with basketball instructors.

H: Oh, basketball, basketball, basketball!!! Did he draw anything or walk in the forest?

AG: Yes, he did. But the most important thing was basketball. Years later Michael said that the camp changed how he felt about basketball and his future. It was the turning point in his life.

H: That’s great! So what did the examples of your campers show?

AG: I’m sure they showed that going to a camp gave all these people a chance to understand what they really like doing. They found their future in a camp.

WS: Our idea is that it’s hard for parents to say “good-bye” to their children, but a camp can help kids to try something new, surprise their family and friends and choose their future.

H: Thank you, it was …

Unit 1, Lesson 6, Ex.1a

Unit 1, Lesson 8, Ex. 2a

Tom: I like holidays, it’s sunny and warm and I can have fun and do what I love. I like my grandma Angela and I always go to visit her in summer. I can help her to look after her animals, three cats, two dogs and a horse.

Karen: Summer is always a good time to meet new people and make new friends. When I was small I went to my grandparents, but now I think it’s boring to live in the village for three months. I like summer camps. They’re fun.

Tim: I often go to summer camps in different places. But I don’t like them very much. There you can’t sleep as long as you want and do what you want any time you want. I love spending holidays at my granny and grandpa. They’re always happy to see me and I can play, run and jump all day long.

Bruce: I’m a big boy, it’s not interesting for me to go to the village. In a summer camp I can learn new things. For example, last year I learned to ride a bike and next year I’ll learn to make fire.

Sandra: In my summer camp I went on a hike, sang songs and met a lot of interesting people, for example our coordinator, Mr. Matlock. It was great!

Jenny: Summer camps are good to spend two or three weeks of your holidays. But it’s nice to go to our grandparents after. My granddad is fantastic. He goes to the river with me every day. Last year he bought a boat and we went fishing with him at night.

Unit 1, Lesson 9, Ex. 1b

Four weeks ago we came here,

Me and my friend, settled down.

Now, me and my friend, we are leaving

Going back to our cities and towns.

Good-bye, my friend, good-bye.

Good-bye, my camp,

Good-bye, my camp,

Good-bye, my friend.

I hope we’ll meet again.

We were so happy, so busy

Thirty long days were such fun

Saying good-bye isn’t easy.

Thirty long days passed like one.

Have you ever visited Belarus? Mother Nature gave Belarus beautiful blue lakes, thick forests and many species of animals and plants. There are 111 species of trees and about 12,000 species of plants and mushrooms in Belarus. There are fir and pine wood trees, oaks and ash- trees in Belarusian forests. Some oaks in Belovezhskaya Pushcha are from 300 to 700 years old.

More than 30,000 species of animals live in the wilds of our country: elks, wild boars, deer, wolves, hares and beavers. You’ll never forget meeting a herd of European bison. This animal is one of the symbols of Belarus. Unfortunately, people have always killed wild animals uncontrollably, so many of them are in danger now. There are also about 60 species of fish and 30 species of birds in our republic. Belarusian lakes are rich in fish, especially Lake Naroch, where you can find eel, trout and pike. There are practically no dangerous snakes in Belarus.

Have you ever been to our national parks? In Pripyatsky National Park you can see 200 moss species!

Welcome to our beautiful blue-eyed country! You will fall in love with our nature.

Unit 3, Lesson 2, Ex. 3b

Part B

Reporter: Ok, ladies and gentlemen, what’s the best way to travel?

Miss Chanel: The best way to travel is by car, it’s fast and comfortable.

Mr Burgur: Well, Miss Chanel, your car is comfortable but travelling by plane is faster than by car. I love planes. I can read, watch a video and ... work on my computer!

Mr Rodriguez: I love boats. They’re so comfortable! Blue, blue water around you.

Mr Biao: Mr Rodriguez, but travelling by train is more comfortable and more interesting. What can you see from your boat? Sea, sea, and more sea! When I travel by train, I can see people, cities and houses through the window.

Mr Vasiliev: Travelling by bicycle may be not very comfortable, but it’s so interesting. You can stop where you want.

Mrs Keino: You know, people, travelling by balloon is the most interesting way to travel. You are up, up and away! Oh, my balloon, where’s my balloon?

Everybody: Up, up and away!

Unit 3, Lesson 3, Ex. 2c

Host: And in our quiz show “Fact or Fake” today we meet Andrew! Hello!

Andrew: Oh, hi!

Host: And my first fact is: an ostrich runs faster than an elk. Is it true?

Andrew: Well, ostriches are fast, but elks are like horses, I think they are faster.

BEEP!

Host: No, sorry. Ostriches run much faster than elks. May be you will guess the next fact. So, pikes live longer than eels.

Andrew: I think it’s false. Eels are like snakes, and snakes live for a very long time.

HOORAY!

Host: That’s right. Pikes can live for about 40 years, but there were eels that lived up to 80 years. And now Andrew, do you agree that when a panda is born it is smaller than a rat.

Andrew: Ha-ha, a panda can’t be smaller than a rat, it’s a bear! It’s false.

BEEP!

Host: Mistake! It’s true. When a panda is born it’s about 100 grams, and a rat weighs about 200- 300 grams. Question number four. Beavers have the longest teeth of all animals.

Andrew: I read that beavers’ teeth grow all their lives without stopping. So it may be true.

HOORAY!

Host: You’re absolutely right! Number five: do you agree that a koala is the laziest animal on the planet?

Andrew: No, I know that koalas sleep for about 20 hours a day, but there’s another animal, I don’t remember the name of it, but it doesn’t move for weeks.

HOORAY!

Host: Right! And the name of this animal is a sloth. It’s so lazy that some moss grows on its back. Let’s move on! Tigers are the largest members of the cat family.

Andrew: Oh, it’s easy. Yes, it’s true! Some tigers are even bigger than lions.

HOORAY!

Host: And you guessed it right again! Let’s look at something more difficult! Robin Hood’s oak tree that grows in Sherwood Forest is the oldest oak tree in the world.

Andrew: May be it’s true. It’s so famous!

BEEP!

Host: It’s a famous tree, but it’s famous because of Robin Hood, not because it’s old. The oldest oak tree is the Bowthorpe Oak tree. It grows in the UK and it’s about 1,000 year old.

Andrew: I see.

Host: Now, the next one. Lake Glybokae in Belarus is the deepest lake in the world.

Andrew: The name says it is, but I think it’s false.

HOORAY!

Host: Yes, it’s false because Baykal is the deepest lake in the world. And the last question: the Pacific ocean is the most salty.

Andrew: Hmm, I’m sure it’s the biggest, but the most salty… may be not. No, I think it’s false!

HOORAY!

Host: You did it! Yes, the Pacific Ocean isn’t the most salty because of a lot of tropical rains. And the most salty is the Atlantic Ocean. So, you’ve got 6 points and you can move to the next round of the game!

Loch Ness Monster

Close your eyes. Imagine that you are in Scotland. You are standing near a beautiful lake. It is Loch Ness. Look, there’s an unusual animal in the lake! What is it? It’s coming nearer and nearer. Oh, my God! It’s got a long neck, a small head and a large ugly body. It’s terrible! It’s a monster!

Do you believe in terrible monsters? Do you believe in aliens, ghosts and magicians? Some people do, some people don’t. What about you?

Unit 4, Lesson 2, Ex. 1b

Why Don’t They Like Me?

It’s hard to be a monster,

Scaring kids around,

Hiding under their beds,

Not making any sound.

I want to see the world out there,

I want to make some friends,

Please keep me as your favourite pet

We’ll have fun that never ends.

Nick’s father: Thank you, Mike. Can you give me your address, please?

3.

Nick’s father: Mrs. Mitchell, what were you doing yesterday at about eleven o’clock?

Woman: I was taking photos.

Nick’s father: Taking photos?

Woman: Yes. I was taking photos of the UFO in my yard.

Nick’s father: What was the UFO doing?

Woman: When I first saw it, the UFO was hanging in my yard, right above the rose bushes. I ran to the house to take my camera. When I came back 5 minutes later, it wasn’t hanging in my yard. Look at the time in the photo. At 23.05 it was flying away.

Unit 4, Lesson 4, Ex. 5a

I went to the river.

And what did you see?

I saw two green aliens.

They were looking at me.

I went to the forest.

And what did you see?

I saw a white tiger.

It was smiling at me.

Unit 4, Lesson 5, Ex. 2c

Once upon a time there lived a king. His name was Midas. He loved gold very much. Midas wanted to have more and more gold. There was only one thing he loved more than gold. That was his daughter.

One evening when Midas was counting his gold a young man appeared before him. The man was a magician. He asked Midas: “Are you a happy man? Do you have all you want?”

Midas answered: “I’d like to be richer. I’d like to have a golden touch. I want to touch things and turn them into gold. Only then will I be happy.”

The magician gave King Midas the golden touch and disappeared.

The next day King Midas got up early and ran into the garden. He touched a rose and it turned into a golden flower. “Magic,” Midas said. He was happy.

Then he came to breakfast. But he couldn’t eat. Everything he touched turned into gold. He wanted to drink some water but the water turned into gold. The king became less happy.

Then his daughter came in. King Midas kissed her good morning and the girl turned into a golden statue. She was now wearing a golden dress and a golden crown. Her hair was golden. Her golden hands were cold. Midas was very unhappy. ”The gods have punished me because I liked gold so much.”

King Midas was crying over his daughter when the same young man appeared and asked him: “Are you happy now, Midas?”

“No, I’m very unhappy. I have lost all that my heart really loves. I hate my golden touch. All I want right now is to have my daughter back.”

Unit 4, Lesson 6, Ex. 1

It is an unusual animal. It is small and black. It disappears in the daytime because it sleeps at that time. It appears at night and looks for food. Some people are afraid of this animal. They tell terrible stories about it. But don’t believe these stories, because this animal eats only fruit and flowers. In Australia people call it a flying fox. It isn’t a bird, but it can fly.

Unit 4, Lesson 6, Ex. 3a

Beerall was the god of the Butchulla people. His son was Yindingie, and he appeared as a wise snake.

Way back, when the world was young, Yindingie taught all the birds, animals and men how to live. He said: “You must never go between a man and his fire. You mustn’t sit down at a man’s fire if people haven’t asked you.”

One day Yindingie was teaching the birds how to build nests. One little bat was asking too many questions. He wanted Yindingie to show him how to build a nest.

Yindingie said to him,” You are not a bird, you are a bat.”

“But”, said the flying fox, “I have wings and I can fly. I want to build a nest too!” And the bat started asking questions again. Yindingie became angry. He hung the bat head down. When the other birds saw it they started laughing.

When the god finished for the day, he came to the bat and said, “Now have you had enough yet? Perhaps that will teach you a lesson.”

“Oh no!” said the flying fox. “I like it here. I like looking at the world like this. I think it is nice.”

Then said Yindingie, “Let it always be like that.”

Of course the flying fox wasn’t telling the truth. He really just didn’t want the other birds to know how unhappy he was. You can only see him now when all the other birds have gone to sleep. And when he goes to sleep in the daytime, he usually chooses a dark cave where no other birds can see him and laugh at him.

That’s why the bat doesn’t sleep at night.

Unit 4, Lesson 7, Ex. 3a

(Situation 1)

Mum: Oh, son! What’s the matter? What were you doing?

Alex: Mmmm

Mum: Oh, dear! You new glasses! You broke them! Alex, that’s very bad! I’m really angry!

Alex: No, no! Mum, listen! It wasn’t me! I was walking home after school. I was eating ice-cream and watching the cars. Then I saw a little boy. He was playing football with his friends next to the road. They were running and shouting. Suddenly the ball flew to the road and got under the car. The boy ran after it. I thought that the car could crash him. I ran after the boy and stopped him. But he hit me and my glasses fell down and crashed.

Mum: Really?

Alex: Yes, mum, I’m like a Superman! And …

Mum: Ok, I see, let go and have lunch.

(Situation 2)

Mum: Tina, what’s the matter with you again? What were you doing?

Tina: Well, it’s my school bag.

Mum: Tina, your schoolbag! You tore it!

Tina: Oh, mum, you see, it’s a long story.

Mum: What is it?

Tina: I was walking to my dancing class and I was talking on the phone with my friend. Suddenly I heard a loud sound and I saw three aliens. They were short and funny. They invited me to their spaceship.

Mum: Oh, really?

Tina: Yes. I went up to them. We were eating alien food and drinking alien tea. It was great! But then some monsters attacked us.

Mum: What?

Tina: They were ugly and scary. One of them was flying after me! And it caught my schoolbag and tore it. It wanted to take my school books. But I ran away.

Mum: Oh, Tina, you are so naughty!

Unit 4, Lesson 8, Ex. 1b

While the kids were playing outside,

Someone in red was taking a ride.

Can you guess who the old man was?

It was the kids’ best friend Santa Claus!

Unit 4, Lesson 8, Ex. 2a

1. At Christmas you can hear carols or Christmas songs. People sing them in church. And we have special concerts at schools. Sometimes we gather with friends and sing carols outside other people’s houses and collect money for poor people. I like Silent Night best.

2. Sure it’s Christmas morning. Because you open your stockings and find there small presents like nuts & fruit, cards & crayons, balloons & sweets there. And then you go down to open the bigger presents under the Christmas tree. What a wonderful time!

3. It’s different with different people. You can buy lots of nice cards in the shops. But you can make a card yourself. I like to get a lot of cards and I send a lot of them to my friends. And I make some of them myself.

4. Before going to bed on Christmas Eve all children hang a stocking at the end of the bed or fireplace. We call it a stocking, but it can be a bag that looks like a stocking. My little sister believes that Santa Claus will come in the night and put presents there.

5. Christmas dinner is special. All the family are at home and Mum cooks turkey with potatoes and vegetables. Then we have Christmas pudding. Sometimes mum puts coins in it, so you must be careful. Oh, yes before the dinner we pull Christmas crackers. Bang! And there is a small toy or a joke. It’s like magic!

Unit 4, Lesson 8, Ex. 4a

It was cold in the village of Galgate. It was warm in the hearts of the people. Christmas was coming. The people of Galgate were getting Christmas cards, decorating the Christmas trees.

Naughty Elaine was walking home with her father. She wanted to have the best Christmas present in the village. Elaine closed her eyes. She imagined a new dress and pretty dolls under the Christmas tree.

Henry, the shoemaker, was sitting by the window. He was sad. “People are so happy at Christmas. They get presents. I won’t get any presents. I haven’t got any family or friends,” he told his bird.

Then Maureen, the poor farmer, came to his shop and asked him to fix an old pair of shoes. She was crying when she said, “Please, help me. My little granddaughter Pat has no other shoes.”

That night, when Henry was sleeping, he had a dream. An angel told him, “Christmas is magic. But good people can make magic too. Don’t give rich presents. Be kind to people. What goes around comes around.” Now Henry knew what to do.

Next morning he got up very early and started making boots. They were beautiful warm boots, good for a princess. The boots were ready in four hours. He put them in the window and people went by and said, “These boots would be the finest present for any girl.”

Elaine wanted to have the boots, but they were not for her. They were for the poor girl who was sitting at home and looking at the children playing in the snow. Henry ran to Maureen’s house and gave little Pat the boots. He saw her happy eyes and he understood that he had the best Christmas present - a friend. Now he believed in Christmas magic.

Nick: In Edinburgh, there are parties, music and dancing, parades and lots of fireworks. At 12 o’clock my friends and I sang “Auld Lang Syne”. Some people were dancing around. We counted the last ten seconds: “Ten…nine…eight…” It was fun!

Chu Wen Deng: I was sleeping at the time. We celebrate New Year between mid-January and mid-February. I always have some cake on this day. A “dragon” (which looks like a lion) goes along the streets and people open their doors to welcome him.

Marko: At midnight I was throwing broken kitchen things, old furniture from the window to the ground. It was cool!

Nuri: People of my country celebrate it at the end of October – beginning of November. We call it Diwali, the “Festival of lights”. Delhi is beautiful at this time. There are no sad people in the streets.

Yan: The happiest holiday of the year! My family had a big dinner. I didn’t find any presents in my bedroom. I found some under the Christmas tree. Did you find any presents there?

Nick: Hi, Yan! How are you doing?

Yan: Fine, thanks! How are you?

Nick: Well, I’m OK. I’ve just had a fight with Rosie.

Yan: Why? What’s happened?

Nick: She says I’m too bossy. But she doesn’t want to do anything about the house. She’s so messy!

Yan: Oh, sisters!

Nick: Can you believe it? I sweep the floor every day.

Yan: Why doesn’t she do it?

Nick: She isn’t good at sweeping. She can’t do anything! She can only walk the dog and water the flowers. And I do all the housework!

Yan: Oh, I do a lot of housework too. Mum is always telling me to tidy up. But I hate it! It’s so boring.

Nick: Well, I think, tidying up is OK. What I really dislike is washing! Rosie can’t use the washing machine, so I have to put all these dirty clothes into it. Yuk!

Yan: Oh, I never do the washing. My mum always does it and dad does the ironing. I only help with the washing up sometimes and go shopping every Saturday. I like shopping. It’s fun.

Nick: Oh, I think housework is horrible. I wish we had a robot at home.

Yan: Yeah.

Unit 5, Lesson 4, Ex. 3a

1.

James: Do you do anything about the house?

Patrick: Of course I do something. I make the beds and tidy up in my room.

James: And who does the washing up?

Patrick: Nobody. We’ve got a dishwasher.

2.

James: What jobs about the house do you do?

Kevin: In fact I do nothing. I’m too busy at school and with my hobbies.

James: You mean that no one helps your mum?

Kevin: Well, I’ve got three sisters so I don’t have to worry about anything.

James: Whoa! There’s nothing else to say then.

3.

James: Do you help your parents with housework?

Mary Ann: You mean, does anybody help me?! I have to do everything. I cook and lay the table and then I have to do the washing up. I tidy up and do the dusting and the washing and the ironing. Is there anything I forgot? Oh, yes! I look after my brothers and put them to bed at night.

James: Well you definitely need somebody to help you.

Mary Ann: I can’t say that nobody helps me. My brothers do help sometimes. We’ve got a deal. I help them with homework, they help me do something about the house, like start the washing machine or do the dishes.

James: Does your mum do anything?

Mary Ann: She tells everybody what work they must do and writes lists of things to do for me while she’s at work.

Unit 5, Lesson 5, Ex. 4b

There are lots of small creatures that live in our homes. Can you think of any? In search of something tasty ants, spiders and house flies find their ways to our flats and houses.

If humans or animals live in your house — you have dust mites – microscopic bugs. No special test is needed to check, it is a fact. Beds and carpets collect the most dust mite food, since they like it dark, warm and moist.

Watch your clothes. Because the clothes moth is watching it as well. Especially the natural items you do not wear often.

Any wood is food to a number of organisms. The furniture bug likes to make an endless system of tunnels as it eats its way through wood. Hard to imagine but books make lovely dinner for a bunch of insects like wood bugs or silverfish. Silverfish – small wingless insects are often found in houses in wet places like bathroom or kitchen.

Cockroaches are better at hiding than you are at finding them. But your home is an ideal place for most species of cockroaches. With plenty of food, warmth, water and nesting sites, they can remain active all year round.

Unit 5, Lesson 7, Ex. 3c

Girl: Never tell anyone you are home alone, even if your parents will be right back. Always say your parents are busy and can’t come to the phone right now. This is not a lie. Never give a stranger information over the phone. Tell them you will take a message and have your parents call them back when they are free. You should always answer the phone because it may be your parents calling to see that everything is all right.

Unit 5, Lesson 7, Ex. 3e

Boy: Do not answer the door to anybody if you are alone. If somebody tries to break into your house or flat call the police. Ask the policemen for a document before you open the door. Always keep the door locked even when you are not alone. If it is somebody you don’t know, let your parents open the door.

Unit 5, Lesson 8, Ex. 3a

Erin: I love my room. It has become my home to return to anytime I need comfort. I can toss my shoes onto the floor and lie back on my soft cloud of a bed.

Last summer I and my uncle painted it grey so it looks cool and fresh now. I don't have carpet after clothes moth was found in it. There’s a white desk set, bed, a dresser and mirror. White doors. A poster of my favourite modern artist on the wall, but it actually matches the colours in my room and adds colour (green and red).

Then there are my clothes; everywhere around my room. Ok, it looks messy because of all the junk that needs to be thrown away and all the other things I don’t use any more. I never throw things away. I even keep all my old school books. If I ever want to see what I learned in 3rd grade English class my notes are there, sitting in a dusty corner of my room.

The only day I invite my friends over is Saturday which is my cleaning day. Everything is neat and shiny after the hours of cleaning and dusting and all. Then Sunday comes and my mess is back. And I must say I love it, it’s who I am.

Unit 6

Unit 6, Lesson 1, Ex. 3

Tim: I love my food. In my fridge there is always some fruit and vegetables. I usually have a few eggs on toast for breakfast. I like fish, so I eat little meat. I can have some bacon, but not every day. Sometimes I have cereal with some yoghurt or a few sandwiches for lunch. For dinner I usually have soup and a little spaghetti. I eat few crisps or sweets, because they are not good for you. I just drink some milk before I go to bed at night. Oh! And Fish and Chips! They are my favourite I can eat them from morning till night.

Unit 6, Lesson 2, Ex. 1a

Daughter: Fish and chips and a chocolate ice-cream, please.

Unit 6, Lesson 4, Ex. 2b

Junk foods are very unhealthy. They bring nothing good to your body but cause bad teeth, and heavy weight. When we say junk food we mean most sweets, crisps, biscuits, cola, lollipops, milk chocolate bars, etc. These foods seem very tasty but contain very few vitamins and lots of bad stuff like fat, salt and sugar.

“Fast food” literally just means food that takes little time to prepare. Today by fast food we mean food that is served in fast food restaurants like McDonalds or KFC: hamburgers, pizzas, hot dogs, potato chips. Eating them is also very unhealthy. A few pieces of lettuce or a tomato in a hamburger doesn’t make it healthier. Eating lots of fast food can lead to depression, heavy weight and bad mood.

But there is good news. Some of the burgers, sides, sandwiches, and even desserts aren't as bad for you as you might think. In fact, some are really healthy and light! So next time you eat out go for KFC Potato Salad, McDonald's reduced fat Vanilla Ice Cream or Pizza Hut Cherry Dessert Pizza.

Unit 6, Lesson 8 ex. 3a

Lilian May: If you really want to show mom and dad you can cook, there are a few simple steps to follow to make sure things go nicely.

1. Tell your mum that you want to cook something. It is a first thing to do before you start using the kitchen for cooking. You never know what plans your parents may have or your mum can think you are not old enough to cook alone!

2. Read the recipe through from beginning to end before you start. If there is anything in the recipe that you don’t understand, ask an older person for help.

3. Keep it clean. Wash your hands before you begin. It is also important to wash your hands every time you touch the dustbin or when you pick up anything off the floor.

4. Be organized before you start cooking. Have all of your ingredients in one place and equipment ready before you start cooking.

5. Follow the recipe. When you cook more it’s ok to change the ingredients or their amount, but for a beginner cook it’s very important to stick to the recipe.

6. Clean up. It is easier if you can clean up while you are cooking. Later, you'll see that this is easier than cooking in a mess!

7. Have a good time. Cooking is fun and when you learn some simple recipes you can start experimenting with different ingredients and come up with your own delicious meals.

Unit 6, Lesson 9, Ex. 2a

A.

- Mmm… It’s great! What's in this pizza?

B.

- Would you like something to eat?

- Yes, please. I’d like some pizza and tomato juice.

- Help yourself. Juice is in the fridge.

C.

- Do you know how Margherita appeared.

- No. Do you?

- The queen Margherita once saw poor people eating bread with cheese and tomatoes in the street, and ask her cook to make the same pizza for her.

- Oh, interesting.

- And it’s white, red, and green. The colours of the Italian flag.

- Wow. You are so clever!

D.

- Is pizza what you like best?

- No. I can’t live without draniki. It’s my favourite dish ever.

- Really? I’ve never heard of draniki before.

- I tried it in Belarus last summer. They are potato pancakes. Yummy!

E.

- All pizzas are great! Have you tried this one?

- Yes, it’s really tasty. Helen has brought it.

- Has she made it herself?

- No, she bought it in a café in Soho.

Nick: Ten, Mrs. Page.

Librarian: OK, let’s start. The green one is Maths – the book for mathematics. The thick blue one is Science. It’s about the world – the planets, the stars, about water and air, about animals and trees. This one is Geography.

Nick: Which one is Geography?

Librarian: The pink one. Do you like geography?

Nick: I don’t know yet. It’s a new subject.

Librarian: This yellow book is for your Handicraft lessons. You’ll learn how to make things by hand. It’s a very helpful book.

Nick: And which is that one?

Librarian: Which one?

Nick: The orange one.

Librarian: It’s your History book. Do you like history?

Nick: I love history. I like to learn about the past.

Librarian: This is a book for your Art lessons. You see, the book is very bright, like a beautiful picture.

Nick: My Music book is very thin. It’s the thinnest of all the school books. Why? It’s so interesting to learn about music.

Librarian: I don’t know Nick. Here’s one more book – English.

Nick: You know, Mrs. Page, my Belarusian friend Ian has a very interesting subject – Literature. They read and speak about books in Literature lessons. Why don’t we have Literature? I love reading.

Librarian: I agree with you. Reading is wonderful. Well, let’s finish with books. This is the last one – French. Can you speak French?

Nick: Only a little. I’ve been to France many times, but French is very difficult!

Librarian: Well, Nick, now you’ve got all the books. You can take them home, but first I have to write your name and the number of books in my notebook.

Nick: Thank you, Mrs. Page.

Librarian: Oh, I see. You must wear your sports clothes to the P.E. lesson. You don’t have to bring a book with you.

Nick: Do I have to bring a football or a tennis racket?

Librarian: No, you don’t. You must come to every P.E. lesson and you must wear your sports clothes. That’s it. But remember, Nick McGregor, you must keep your school books clean and tidy.

Come on, Nick, get out of bed!

Oh, Mum, do I have to?

Remember what the teacher said!

Oh, Mum, do I have to?

Rosie, put on your coat and hat!

Oh, Mum, do I have to?

Brush your teeth and feed the cat.

Oh, Mum, do I have to?

Do your homework, learn the rule.

Oh, teacher, do we have to?

Always do your best at school!

Oh, teacher, do we have to?

Unit 7, Lesson 4, Ex. 2b

- We don’t like to go to school.

- Why? Oh, tell me why?

- We don’t like to follow rules.

- Why? Oh, tell me why?

- Rules are boring, rules are funny.

Rules don’t work, when days are sunny.

Unit 7, Lesson 4, Ex. 3a

Mum: Breakfast is on the table. Hurry up, Nick, or you’ll be late for school.

Nick: I don’t care. It isn’t much fun. Why do I have to get up so early? The bell rings at nine. Nine o’clock! Why do we have to start school so early?

Mum: Come on, Nick. What lessons do you have on your timetable today?

Nick: Maths, English, Science, French and Geography. Six hours to spend at school. Why do we have to do so many subjects? Nobody can learn everything. And the breaks are so short. The lessons though are very long. They last 40 minutes. Can you imagine?

Mum: Yes, I can. I was a schoolgirl myself. It was so interesting to go to school. It was fun!

Nick: It’s so boring. I never have time to talk to Jim. The year has just begun, but I’m already tired. It’s a month till the holidays! And there are so many rules you have to follow! Listen in class, be polite, bla-bla-bla!

Mum: Oh, Nick! You used to like school. What’s wrong with you?

Nick: Nothing’s wrong with me. Maths is interesting, but it’s difficult: I sometimes make many mistakes and get bad marks. Music is easy, but it’s boring. I want to sleep in the Music lesson.

Unit 7, Lesson 5, Ex. 2b

Tim: My favourite subject in school is English. I love it because before I thought that since English was my native language I knew everything about it. At my new school I began to enjoy it, because we’ve got a great teacher.

I dislike most of the courses I have to take. The one I hate most is Maths, because it's stupid, too hard, and half the time you don't even use that stuff when you're older. I am taking extra classes about 5 years already, I still don't get it.

I also hate History because you have to remember dates and whatnot, for what?

Ann: My favourite class would have to be Art. I love Art. It’s so easy and enjoyable. Besides, no one can tell you that you are 'wrong' in what you do in art lessons. I don’t like Geography, because we have to do too many tests there.

Lea: My favourite subject in school is History. We need History because we look at history to see what sort of mistakes we have made in the past, learn from these mistakes, and try not to make the same mistakes in the future. I watch the history and National Geographic channel every day.

The least favourite subject is Sports. When we're playing, we have to chase somebody, and when I have to chase them... I am slow. And because I look stupid in my PE shorts that I have to wear.

Alice: I absolutely love Maths! I have always liked, since elementary school. It helps that it comes easy to me and I'm good at it. I like working with numbers. Also with maths there's only one right answer, unlike in other subjects when there can be more than one answer to a question.

I dislike Art because I’m bad at drawing, Handicraft (we have to draw there, and I am really bad at it, and we have to do other stuff to, which is hard for me).

Brian: My best subject in school is Maths. In maths 2+2 will always make four. Nothing changes in maths and everything has a formula. Everything else can change. In English a noun can be a verb. How difficult is that? Very....I hate English and I never get it... Moreover we have to do a lot of homework to get a good mark.

Unit 7, Lesson 8, Ex. 2b

Interviewer: Good morning, Mark. Welcome to the programme.

Mark: Hello.

Interviewer: Can you tell our listeners in Belarus something about your school?

Mark: Yes, I attend Eton, a boarding school for boys. It is in Windsor near London.

Interviewer: What exactly is a boarding school?

Mark: It’s a school where all the students live – we have dormitories to sleep in.

Interviewer: Is it very strict?

Mark: Yes, we have strict rules and traditions. We all have to wear uniforms. It’s a special black jacket with a white shirt. We are woken up at seven every day and we have an assembly at 8 o’clock.

Interviewer: What’s your timetable like?

Mark: It keeps us very busy! We do a lot of subjects. We have 33 lessons a week. Then we have clubs, sports and other activities.

Interviewer: 33 lessons! That’s a lot. How long is a lesson?

Mark: 40 minutes.

Interviewer: When do you have your lunch break?

Mark: At 12.30 in the canteen called “The Houses”.

Interviewer: Eton is a very famous school, isn’t it?

Mark: Yes, it has long traditions. Parents sometimes register their children as soon as they are born. Twenty British prime-ministers were students here and the school has produced lots of famous scientists and writers. Prince William was also here and Prince Harry too.

Interviewer: So how do you feel about following in the footsteps of so many famous people?

Mark: I feel really proud!

Interviewer: Well, that’s all we’ve got time for – thanks for talking to us, Mark.

Unit 7 lesson 9 ex.2a

Well, I’m quite popular, so my friends and I, we just go outside and have lunch and then just sit there and talk. We tell different funny stories that happen with our teachers or classmates at school, we share school jokes and laugh a lot.

Unit 7, Lesson 9, Ex. 5b

My Teacher Sees Right Through Me

I didn’t do my homework.

My teacher asked me, “Why?”

I answered him, “It’s much too hard.”

He said, “You didn’t try.

I told him, “My dog ate it.”

He said, “You have no dog.”

I said, “I went out running.”

He said, “You never jog.”

I told him, “I had chores to do.”

He said, “You watched TV.”

I said, “I saw the doctor.”

He said, “You were with me.”

My teacher sees right through me,

Which makes me very sad.

It’s hard to fool the teacher

When the teacher is your dad.

Unit 8, Lesson 1, Ex. 5

Nick: Only yesterday we went to the cinema to see Star Wars. It’s not a new film but I like it very much. It is my favourite action film about spaceships and aliens. Rosie didn’t like it. She enjoys horror films full of monsters very much. Her favourite one is The Corporation of Monsters. I hate horror films. After watching them I can’t sleep at night. My parents like comedies, because they are funny, and musicals, because there is a lot of singing, especially The Sound of Music. My mum also likes romantic films about love. I think they are really boring. Sometimes my father watches westerns, but mum thinks they are silly. What do you watch? Everyone is crazy about The Lord of the Rings now, but I haven’t watched it yet.

Unit 8, Lesson 2, Ex. 4b

Nick: Hi Liz! Let’s go to the cinema on Saturday.

Liz: Good idea! What’s on? A western again? Westerns are boring. I‘d like to watch something more exciting.

Liz: Great! I love them! Where is it on?

Nick: At the Odeon.

Ben: Fine, thanks. And you?

Nick: Alright. What were you doing last night?

Ben: Why?

Nick: I called you at 7.

Ben: I went to the cinema. I watched Labyrinth. It’s a horror film, not for kids.

Nick: Wow!!! What was it like?

Ben: Amusing.

Nick: Where are you going now?

Ben: To the library.

Nick: To the library? Already? Have you read all the books you borrowed last time? We went there only a week ago, didn’t we?

Ben: Oh, yes. Sure. The books were really interesting.

Nick: Did you borrow an adventure book or a detective story?

Ben: I liked Gulliver’s Travels most of all. It’s an exciting adventure story.

Nick: Yes. Very much. They can be fun, too.

Ben: What’s your favourite book?

Nick: Robinson Crusoe.

Kevin: Nothing much. Just reading a story.

Sam:Oh, great! What kind of story?

Kevin: Benny gave me the book. It’s not for girls. It’s about the future. How terrible our life is going to be in 50 years. In the future people are species in danger, machines are catching them to kill. And only the main character, a funny professor, can save the world.

Sam: Wow! How exciting! I love science-fiction!

Kevin: Do you? What books have you read?

Sam:Mmm… Oh, many. About other planets, and aliens, and robots...

Kevin: Well, I’m going to the library now. Would you like to come? We’ll find some books for you to read.

Sam: Great! I’d love to.

UNIT 9

Unit 9, Lesson 1, Ex. 3a

1. Girl: This game is great! You must be clever to play it. I often play chess with my Granddad. He can play chess very well. It’s a very difficult game. But it’s so enjoyable!

2. Boy: It can be dangerous, especially in the seas where sharks live – in the warm seas. I love it, because I love swimming. I have done it many times. I first did it when I was eight. It’s fantastic: you can see fish, beautiful sea grass and crabs. I think, it’s the most enjoyable hobby!

3. Girl: It’s a sport, but it’s a hobby too. I like it a lot! For example, in Britain many people like it.

4. Boy: You need a lot of money for this hobby. You must have a good camera, then – photos, albums. But I think everyone just loves it.

5. Girl: I go to Art school four days a week. We draw and paint there. I like drawing, but I think painting is more interesting. I’ve already painted our garden in winter and in spring. My favourite colours are green and blue.

6. Boy: I started doing it when I was three. I made a model of a plane. It was red and white. It was great! I made it from “LEGO” bricks. Now I have more than thirty “LEGO” sets. I can make models of ships, cars, buses, planes and houses. It’s fun. It can help you to be a good engineer when you grow up too. Have you ever done it?

Unit 9, Lesson 1, Ex. 5b

Girl: My sister Julia has lots of hobbies. She loves keeping pets – she’s got a dog, two cats and three rabbits. She also likes sports: diving and cycling. She enjoys learning languages. Now she’s learning Russian. Can you imagine?! She thinks taking photos is OK, but she dislikes collecting things and she hates knitting. I don’t know why. I love knitting. Look at this pullover. I’ve made it myself!

Unit 9, Lesson 2, Ex. 1a

Do you like sightseeing? – I like it! I love it!

Do you like cycling? – I think it’s OK.

Do you like hunting? – I hate it! Just hate it!

Do you like sleeping? – Don’t ask me again.

Unit 9, Lesson 3, Ex. 2b

People have always had fun. 2000 years ago Greeks enjoyed running races. More than two thousand years ago the children of Rome made toys and played games. People have always liked playing chess. Theatre has been popular for hundreds of years.

Today, we still have fun doing all these things. But every year we take up new hobbies. We go diving. We like playing football, basketball and volleyball. We’re good at jogging and aerobics. We go to zoos and fun parks. We love watching TV and playing the computer. We go swimming and hiking in summer. In winter we enjoy outdoor sports - skiing and skating, and indoor activities - reading books and making models.

Everyone has hobbies. Those who like active hobbies hate doing nothing. Such hobbies as mountain climbing can be dangerous. There are quiet hobbies – knitting, for example.

Most schoolchildren have hobbies: girls and boys go to dancing classes or play musical instruments. Some kids are interested in history or books about nature. Others have unusual hobbies like collecting phone cards. Some hobbies are ideal for just one person – knitting, collecting or tracing a family tree, for example. Others are great fun to do with a friend or in a group. But whatever hobbies we have, we like having fun. We always have and we always will.

Unit 9, Lesson 4, Ex. 1a

Sue’s such a good girl, she’s so good!

Unit 9, Lesson 5, Ex. 2b

Amelia: I once saw a TV show about a man. He made a fantastic show, a bubble show. He was making bubbles of different size, small, big. He was using different soap so his bubbles were of different colours. I asked my mum to buy me special soap to make bubbles. So my parents and my friends presented me with lots of soap. In the beginning it was interesting to make bubbles, but the problem with them is that they don’t live long.

One day my cousin showed me his photo camera and taught me how to use it. And that was a great idea. Now I can not only make bubbles, I can take pictures of them.

Now when my friends come to me they love making bubbles. And I enjoy taking photos. I’ve got a big collection of my pictures. Some of them are very beautiful, some are funny.

Amelia’s friend: Amelia was first interested in bubbles. I thought it’s silly. My little sister likes it. But then she started making wonderful pictures. I liked them very much. I think I’ll take up photography too. May be I’ll take pictures of birds or of my mum’s flowers.

Oliver: I was interested in stars and planets when I learned to read. I loved magazines and books about space. When I graduate from the university I want to be an astronomer. It’s a person who studies stars. Now I can only watch the stars. My granny bought me a telescope. It’s cool. When there aren’t many clouds in the sky I can see the Moon, some stars in the Milky Way and sometimes I can watch small comets flying in space. My dad helps me to find the information about the comets and stars that I see. They all have names and I write their names in a special notebook. Star watching is never boring. It’s beautiful.

Oliver’s mum: I know my son enjoys star and comet watching. But I don’t like it very much. It was ok when he read different articles in newspapers. And now he’s got the telescope. Of course he wants to use it every day, hmm, sorry, every night. You can only see stars at night. The problem is he never goes to bed in time. Then it’s difficult to get up in the morning and he’s always late for school. He’s always tired. So I think his hobby is dangerous. He can get ill soon!

Unit 9, Lesson 7, Ex. 1b

Sue: Hi, Nick. It’s me, Sue. You asked me about our hobbies and interests in your letter.

Well, we love lots of things.

My eldest brother Jim is interested in American football. He knows everything about the game and he can play it very well. He’s very good at it. We often go to see him play. That’s him in the photo holding a strange ball.

My second brother, Harry likes American football too, but he can’t play it very well. He’s a great baseball player. Have you ever heard of baseball? It’s an American game. It’s popular in my country. Harry is very good at it. He’s one of the best baseball players in our town. You can see him in one of the photos: he’s the first on the right.

My third brother, Mike, is not very good at sports. He likes playing on the computer and watching TV. He’s very good at it. Sometimes he plays a little basketball. You can’t see him in the photo. It’s his favourite team playing.

Can you see me in one of the photos? Mike took the photo. I’ve just taken up cycling, you know. I’m not very good at it, because I’m only learning. Can you ride your bike well?

Unit 9, Lesson 8, Ex. 1b

Interviewer: Hello! We’re from ‘Fun Party’ magazine. Please, tell me when you have a party.

Speaker 1: I usually have a Christmas party and a birthday party of course.

Speaker 2: We have a family party at New Year. I sometimes go to a Halloween Party too.

Interviewer: When do you go to parties?

Speaker 3: I love birthday parties and end-of-school parties because it’s the end of the school and we have summer holidays.

Speaker 4: I always go to parties, Christmas, New Year, friends’ birthdays. Any party is good because I’m good at dancing and I love tasty food.

Speaker 5: Well, I don’t like parties very much. I think they are boring!!!
