|RUBBISH ISLAND ON THE MALDIVES |
|The Maldives are a group of beautiful tropical islands in the Indian Ocean. But the Maldives have got a dirty secret: Thilafushi, |
|the world’s biggest rubbish island. Ships bring more than 330 tonnes of rubbish to Thilafushi every day. |
|The Maldivians built Thilafushi in 1992. At the time, they were looking for a place to throw out their rubbish. Nearly 100,000 |
|people lived in Malé, the capital city, and they were producing a lot of rubbish every day. Malé is only two square kilometres, |
|and there wasn’t a good place for all of the rubbish. The government decided to build Thilafushi to solve the problem. |
|Today, more than 10,000 tourists come to the Maldives every week. Each tourist produces 3.5 kilos of rubbish, and Thilafushi is |
|growing by one square metre every day. The Maldivians are trying to find new places for their rubbish, and they now send some of |
|it to India. Indian ships bring vegetables to the Maldives and they return with empty cans, metals and cardboard for recycling. |
|It’s a rubbish crisis, but the tourists don’t know that. They continue to swim in the blue sea and enjoy the sun on the sandy |
|beaches. They have got no idea about the rubbish island only a short distance away. |
a) 330 …………………… c) 10,000 ……………………
b) 100,000 …………………… d) 3.5 ……………………

|THE CLOWN OF THE PARTY |
|Jill Blackstead is a professional party clown. She uses the name “Tiddlywink” and people pay her money to perform at children’s|
|parties. Jill has been a party clown for more than ten years. Her career began when she was still at school. She wanted to make|
|some money to buy CDs and clothes, so she began organising children’s parties. Her parties became very popular and soon she was|
|doing more than eight parties a month. Today, Jill works as a party clown almost every day. She has a good salary and really |
|enjoys her work. |
|Jill wears the usual clown costume – a red nose, a big hat and funny shoes. She doesn’t wear face make-up because this often |
|frightens young children. Over the years, she has improved her programme. Her parties include face painting, magic, silly games|
|and balloon animals. |
|Jill has won an award for being the best party clown in New York. So what is her secret? Jill believes that a party clown must |
|make children feel happy. While she is painting faces or making balloons, she always talks to the children and asks them |
|questions. She has also noticed that every year there are two or three words that children think are funny. When things are not|
|going well at the party, she just shouts one of these words and the children immediately start laughing. |

12 Read the text. Then answer the questions:
|A FASHIONABLE WEDDING |
|Have you ever been to a wedding? The bride’s dress is one of the most important parts of the event, and most women spend a long time|
|choosing the right one. But what is the right dress? Wedding dresses, like other types of clothing, reflect the fashion of the time.|
|In Ancient Rome, people believed white was the favourite colour of the god of marriage, so women wore white wedding dresses. But in |
|the medieval period, colourful material was more expensive than plain material. Rich women wore colourful wedding dresses with a lot|
|of cloth to show their status. Ordinary people wore practical dresses from plain cloth. After their wedding, they wore their wedding|
|dress at church and for celebrations. |
|The long white wedding dress of today became fashionable after Queen Victoria got married in 1840. Many brides saw her wedding |
|photograph and decided to wear similar dresses. People began using machines to make cloth in the 19th century, so cloth wasn’t as |
|expensive as before and more people had the money to pay for long dresses. During World War II, people needed cloth to make |
|uniforms, so brides wore short dresses. But when the war was over, long dresses were “in” again. Since then, the style and length of|
|wedding dresses has changed as different fashions have become trendy or outdated. So what do you think wedding dresses will look |
|like a hundred years from now? |

|In the 1940s, it became fashionable for families in the United States to buy homes in residential neighbourhoods outside the |
|cities. These areas, called suburbs, were quiet and peaceful. Life in the suburbs was especially popular for people with young|
|children. They preferred homes with gardens and friendly, safe neighbourhoods. |
|But recently, things have begun to change. More and more people are choosing to live in cities. They like the convenience of |
|city life – for example, being close to work and not spending hours on trains or buses every day. In addition, they enjoy |
|being near concert halls, cinemas and restaurants. |
|Because suburbs haven’t got as many people as cities, there isn’t much variety of places to go and things to do. It can be |
|boring, especially for teenagers. This worries some parents and they have decided to make a change. If they move to a city, |
|their teens will have more to do. |
|What will happen if a lot of people want to move to cities? First of all, cities will become more crowded. Also, if city homes|
|are in great demand, they will become more expensive. Will rich people move to cities and poor people to suburbs? How will |
|these changes affect us in the future? At the moment, there are more questions than answers. |
a) Suburbs are / aren’t residential neighbourhoods outside cities.
b) People in cities spend / don’t spend too much time on trains and buses.
c) People with teenage children prefer / don’t prefer quiet neighbourhoods.
d) If teens have got a lot of things to do, their parents will / won’t worry.
e) Most of the poor people from cities have / haven’t moved to the suburbs.
10 Answer the questions:
a) What are three advantages of living in the suburbs?
b) What are three advantages of living in a city?
c) Why do parents of teenagers sometimes move to a city?
d) What are two possible results of a lot of people moving to cities?

|HOW TO PROTECT YOUR MOBILE PHONE |
|You’ve got a new mobile phone. It’s got a touch screen, a big display and a great digital camera. You can do amazing |
|things with it. But can you protect it from mobile phone thieves? Here are some tips to help you. |
|Tip 1: Most thieves steal phones so they can make expensive phone calls on them – and you have to pay for these calls. |
|If you lock your phone with a security code, many thieves won’t want to steal it. |
|Tip 2: Use an ultraviolet pen to write your address and home phone number on your phone. You should write them on the |
|phone and on the battery. You can’t see ultraviolet writing under a normal light, so a phone thief won’t know it’s |
|there. But it will help you identify the phone. If someone wants to return the phone to you, it will help him or her, |
|too. |
|Tip 3: Press *#06# on your keypad and a special code will appear on your phone’s display. If someone steals your |
|mobile, give the code to the phone company. The company can use the code to block the phone permanently. Then the thief|
|can’t use it with your SIM card or with any other SIM card. |
|Tip 4: Download a program like GadgetTrak. This program can find your phone. It can even take a photo of the thief! |
a) You …………………… put a security code on your mobile phone.
b) You …………………… write your name on your mobile phone, but you …………………… use a normal pen.
c) A phone company …………………… know your special code to block your mobile phone.
d) Thieves …………………… use your mobile phone when it is blocked.
e) You …………………… download GadgetTrak before you can use it.
14 Write questions with the words below and can. Then answer the questions according to the text in Exercise 13:
a) thieves / use / mobile phones with security codes / easily
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
b) you / read / ultraviolet writing / under every light

En inglés se utiliza mucho más la pasiva que en castellano, para destacar la acción y no el sujeto que la realiza, y cuando el sujeto de la acción es muy obvio, desconocido o no se quiere nombrar.
También hay una peculiaridad en inglés que no se utiliza en castellano: si hay dos complementos (Direct Object o Indirect Object) el pronombre personal (IO) se convierte en el sujeto de la oración pasiva:
Paul told me all his plans. I was told all his plans.

|A BRITISH TRADITION AT CHRISTMAS |
|On Christmas Day, families around Britain eat Christmas lunch together. While they are eating, people wear paper hats. Where do |
|the hats come from? Christmas crackers! |
|A Christmas cracker is a British tradition. It’s a paper tube inside colourful paper. Two people hold the ends of the cracker and |
|pull it. When the cracker is pulled apart, it makes a loud crack sound. Inside the cracker there’s a paper hat, a small present |
|and a joke on a piece of paper. The same jokes have appeared in Christmas crackers for years, so most people know them. |
|Christmas crackers were invented in the 1850s by Tom Smith. Tom Smith sold sweets and chocolates. They were wrapped in paper and |
|one day he decided to put a short message in the packages. Many of his sweets were bought by men to give to women, so the messages|
|were usually love poems. |
|After some time, Smith changed his packages so they made a loud sound. The sweet became a small present and in the 1900s, paper |
|hats were added by Smith’s sons. Later, the love poems were replaced by jokes, and people began calling the crackers Christmas |
|crackers because many people bought them at Christmas. Today, most homes in Britain have got a box of Christmas crackers. |
a) What is the connection between Christmas crackers and paper hats?
