1 Read the article about Jasmine Stevens. What does she intend to do when she finishes this job?
Jasmine Stevens is 25, and she’s from Bristol in England. She’s got
a very exciting job. What does she do?
Well, she’s the Global Tourism Ambassador for Hamilton Island,
a tropical island on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. Her job is to
encourage tourists to visit the island. She lives in a beautiful villa
with a view of the sea. It’s got three bedrooms, two living rooms,
and a swimming pool. ‘The furniture is really nice. It’s Italian!’, says
her boyfriend, Mario. He’s from Italy! Jasmine’s bedroom’s got a big
bed and a TV and there’s a huge TV in the living room. But Jasmine
doesn’t watch TV very much, she doesn’t have time.
Why? What does Jasmine do every day? ‘Well, it depends. Every day is
different. I get up at around seven; I swim in the pool, have a shower and
have a big breakfast. I start work at about half past eight. I explore the
island, and write about it; I’ve got an incredible computer. I write a blog
and a photo diary, and answer my letters.’ That’s not all she does. Jasmine
also talks to the people that live and work in Hamilton. And she works
with local marine biologists – there are over 30,000 different kinds of fish
on the island. There are a lot of animals to see on Hamilton, and Jasmine
visits the parks and takes photos for her photo diary. Her favourites are the
koala bears and the kangaroos. She loves animals and wants to work in a
safari park in Australia when this job finishes.
She doesn’t only talk to people on the island; she also travels to other
countries to talk about her experiences. Jasmine laughs ‘I don’t work long
hours – just two or three hours a day, so my job isn’t tiring! I’m happy. It’s
the perfect job and they give me a lot of money to do it!’
Jasmine makes 70,000 pounds a year. ‘There are lots of things to do and see here. It’s a fantastic place.
Come and visit me on paradise island!’

1 Scott Bradley is on holiday on the western coast of Wales. Read his testimonial for the campsite
brochure. What does he usually do at midnight?
Hi! I’m Scott Bradley, I’m 16 and I’m from Liverpool. Here I am at the Cardigan Bay
campsite in Wales. We come here every year in our camper and we love it. This is
the end of our first week. There are lots of activities, so it’s never boring here.
I wake up at 8 every morning, get dressed and go jogging with my dad. I love it!
My sister Sarah hates getting up early on holiday; she prefers lying in bed with
a book or a magazine. When we get back I take her a cup of tea and dad makes
breakfast.
After breakfast, I meet my friends. We usually go to the seaside at New Quay.
The beaches are beautiful and we sometimes see dolphins! We go there by bus. It often rains and the sea’s
usually cold but we don’t mind. We always swim! It’s exciting. We play football or tennis on the beach.
The village is small but it’s interesting. It’s only three miles away so we rent bikes or go on foot. There’s a
supermarket, a post office and a pub. OK, so it’s not Las Vegas, but we love going there. We usually buy
chocolate and bottles of water and come back again. I always have lunch with my family. Sarah makes it. After
lunch we go exploring. There are some fantastic coastal paths. We stay out for hours, so we take our back
packs with clothes and sandwiches and drinks.
In the evening we make a campfire on the beach and have a barbecue. My friend Josh has got a guitar and he
sometimes plays it for us and sings. We never go to bed early here. There’s a small disco on the campsite and
we usually go there at midnight. It’s a great place to make new friends!
Cardigan Bay is cool, and the people are friendly. I love coming here.

Reading
1 Read the article about a charity shop. Who is buying CDs?
I am standing in an amazing little shop in Highgate High

Street, in Highgate, London. It sells all kinds of things:
clothes, shoes, books, games, plates, and jewellery. Most of
the things in the shop are used. It’s a charity shop. There are
thousands of charity shops in the UK. What are they? Well
people donate things to these shops and the shop sells them
and gives the money to good causes. The people who work here are all volunteers. Mary Farmer is working
here today.
Do you like working here?

‘Yes, I do. I work here every Saturday morning. It’s fun and I like meeting new people.’
There are a lot of tourists shopping in here today. What are they buying, Mary?
‘Mostly clothes. We’ve got a good selection of designer clothes and we’re selling a lot of T-shirts, shirts and
summer dresses this week.’
Why are you shopping here, Mark?

‘Well, this shop’s got cool music and clothes, and they are very cheap! I’m saving money and helping people
at the same time! I think charity shops are a great idea.’
What are you buying?

‘I’m buying these heavy metal and hard rock CDs – they’re just a pound each and they’re in perfect condition.
I don’t usually spend money on CDs, they’re very expensive. My girlfriend is trying on a really trendy green
jacket. It’s only five pounds and it’s her size!’
Are you happy with your jacket, Leila?

‘Yes, I am. It’s fashionable and the price is reasonable. I’m a student, so spending a lot of money on clothes
isn’t an option.’
How about you, Hiroko? Do you often buy second-hand clothes?
‘Well, I’m not buying clothes, I never wear second-hand clothes. I‘m buying some books to practise my
English. There are lots of classics and language books.’
Some people are just browsing. It’s a fun place to shop, it’s not expensive and you’re helping to save lives.
I like it!

Reading
1 Read Jacob’s blog about a farmer’s market in London. Are there any stalls that sell chocolate?
We’re eating too many chemicals and pesticides!

There are a lot of reasons why buying organic food makes sense. First of all, it’s good for
you. Organic food does not contain any pesticides or chemicals. Non organic fruit and
vegetables contain about thirty different pesticides! We’re eating too many chemicals
and pesticides and they are harmful! Also, when you eat non organic dairy and meat
products, you’re consuming lots of hormones and drugs. Organic fruit and vegetables
contain lots of vitamins, minerals and fibre, so they’re nutritious.
Organic farming is safe because it does not damage the environment. Also, organic
farmers grow lots of different varieties so they are tasty. Non organic farmers concentrate
on making money so your local supermarket has only one or two varieties.
How many places sell organic food?

Not enough! Usually health food shops sell a few organic products and they’re often
expensive. But interest is growing.
Stoke Newington Farmers’ Market in London is an organic farmers’ market. There are
23 stalls selling fruit and vegetables, dairy products, meat and fish. There aren’t any
products from other parts of the UK or from abroad. All the produce is local, so it’s really fresh and the prices are
reasonable.
What about hot food?

There are a few stalls that sell hot food. It’s an international market. Try the delicious Indian curries, Mexican tacos or
Turkish rice dishes. All the ingredients are local, of course! There are lots of delicious homemade cakes and biscuits
and they are all one hundred percent organic. My favourite stall sells amazing chocolates and organic pasta.

1 Read the novel summary. Who is Herbert Pocket?
He can read quite well

My favourite novel is Great Expectations by Charles Dickens. Pip is an orphan who
lives on the Kent marshes with his sister, Mrs Joe, and her husband, the blacksmith
Joe Gargery. At the beginning of the book, Pip helps an escaped convict. He gives
him food and drink and the convict never forgets this. Pip is not very happy at home.
His sister is unkind and Joe is his only real friend. Pip is a country boy, but he has
ambitions. He goes to a night school and can read and write quite well. He can do
practical things and is good at fighting and he can play cards.
One day a rich relative takes him to play in the house of a rich old lady, Miss Havisham. She pays him to play
cards with her adopted daughter Estella. He falls in love with Estella but Estella makes fun of him because
he is common. He is ashamed because he comes from a simple family, and he can’t speak or behave like
Estella. He wants to know more and dreams of becoming a gentleman, so Estella will love him. Estella, Miss
Havisham’s daughter, is beautiful but cruel and cold. She can’t love Pip, because her mother teaches her to
break men’s hearts but not to love them.
One day when Pip is about 20 his dream comes true and he inherits a fortune. An anonymous benefactor pays
for him to go to London to become a gentleman. With his change of fortune, Pip changes and becomes a snob.
He stays with Herbert Pocket, a young man about his age. He is the son of Miss Havisham’s cousin. Pip asks
Herbert to help him become a gentleman. There are a lot of things he wants to learn. Pip can’t dance at all and
so he asks Herbert for lessons. Herbert teaches him to dress, eat and talk like a gentleman. At the end of the
book he discovers that the mysterious benefactor is the escaped convict Magwitch. Miss Havisham dies in a
fire. He and Estella fall in love.

Paraphrasing: how to avoid being

rude
Some descriptive adjectives can be offensive or
rude. To avoid this, we often use not very and
the opposite adjective. For example, he’s not very
handsome instead of he’s ugly. We are saying
the same thing, but in a nicer way, with different
words. This is called ‘paraphrasing’.

1 ucy went on a school trip to York with her class.
L
Read the email she wrote to her friend Carol who
lives in Dublin. What did she think was silly?
Hi Carol!
I missed you when you left! Did you get home OK?
It’s a shame you couldn’t stay a bit longer. We had a great time in York last Saturday. It was my first trip
to Yorkshire! I woke up really early, because the train was at seven in the morning! It was quite a long
journey, almost three hours, but I wasn’t bored. I slept for a bit and then we talked nonstop and I listened to
the new Arcade Fire album on my MP3. Benjy wrote about a hundred messages on his Facebook page!
Did you know that York was founded by the Romans? The city was a Roman Fortress. It’s two thousand
years old. Our teacher took us for a walk along the walls. You get a great view of the city, but we walked
for almost two hours so it was tiring and you know I don’t like heights, so I didn’t really enjoy it.
Benjy held my hand! J
Then we went on a boat trip along the river. It was a bit cold but it was fun. I took lots of pictures.
After that we visited York Minster, the cathedral. It is really beautiful and it’s huge! A guide told us about the
stained glass windows. There are 128 of them! Benjy thought it was boring and he sat and played games
on his mobile, but I was surprised because it was really interesting.
After the Minster we were all hungry, so we went to Betty’s. It’s a traditional tea room. We had scones,
fresh cream and jam and tea. I ate too much and afterwards I felt a bit sick! Then in the afternoon we
visited the York Dungeon. It wasn’t scary. I thought the ghost chamber was just silly, but Benjy enjoyed it.
He thought it was funny. He bought a toy skeleton in the souvenir shop!

1 Read Kevin’s story about a day that started badly,
but ended happily. Why did he walk home?
The sun was shining

My alarm went off. It was 8 o’clock. It was Friday the thirteenth.
It was cold, it was raining and I was in a bad mood. I pulled the
covers over my head and was falling into a deep sleep when mum
came into the room and opened the curtains. It was late. It was
8.30. I washed and dressed quickly and ran out of the house with
a piece of toast in my hand. As I was running up the road I saw the bus disappearing down the high street. I
was starting to think that this was not my lucky day when I saw her.
She was sitting at the bus stop and she was quietly listening to her MP3. She was really pretty. She had short
dark hair and green eyes. I sat down next to her. She was listening to The Arctic Monkeys, my favourite band.
She was really friendly and had a beautiful smile. She told me her name was Amy. Amy went to the girls’
grammar school and she played the clarinet in the school orchestra. We were talking about music when the
bus arrived. When she got off the bus I saw her MP3 on the seat next to me.
I thought about Amy all day. I didn’t have her address, so I decided to go to her school. When I got to her
classroom she wasn’t there, she was rehearsing for the Christmas concert, so I wrote her a note and put it on
the notice board. It wasn’t raining anymore, so I walked home.
When I got home mum was in the kitchen making dinner and my brother David was in the garden fixing his
bike. I was helping David with his bike, when the doorbell rang. I heard mum talking to someone and the next
minute Amy walked into the garden.
I was really happy. Mum brought us tea and my favourite biscuits and we sat in the garden and chatted. As
Amy was leaving, she gave me her phone number and I gave her her MP3. The sun was shining and I was in a
very good mood!

1 Read the article on American teens and their
shopping habits. What does Prudence want?
They need to give something back

According to a recent consumer survey, American teens spend
$200 billion a year. Teenagers are spending a lot of cash on
designer clothes, jewellery and accessories. Boys spend money
on electrical items and video games and girls prefer to spend
their money on clothes. A lot of American teens go to malls
every day after school. When they shop there, they spend on average fifty dollars each time. Parents complain
that they are not interested in anything apart from shopping and buying brand name goods.
Teens like designer labels. They’re a sign of social ranking. Teenage girls can spend 200 dollars on a designer
handbag. 17-year-old Prudence from Chicago says she loves Gucci handbags. She is saving for this season’s
bag. It costs over a thousand dollars. ‘It’s a dream bag; you can get everything in it’. Her friend Amanda says
‘We can’t go to school with a cheap bag. You aren’t anyone if it’s not designer’.
How do they pay for their expensive goods? American teens have credit cards or prepaid cards. Forty percent
of teenagers have their own bank account. A third of teenagers have part time jobs as well as pocket money
from their parents. For some parents their teenagers’ expensive shopping habits are a real problem. Titus
Collins from New York has twenty pairs of designer sneakers and fifteen pairs of boots. His parents are not
happy and he often buys new pairs secretly.
Prudence’s mother says: ‘My daughter wants a new car for her birthday, when I was a teenager my parents
bought me a second-hand car and I was happy’. Psychologist Dr Don Wall says a lot of teens are too
materialistic nowadays; they are shallow and have no real values. ‘They need to understand that they can’t
have everything, they also need to give something back’.

Self-assessment grids – A1
The Council of Europe has published a detailed list of competencies to be achieved at the end of each level. Here
follows the self-assessment grids relative to level A1.
These checklists can be used to do a self-assessment (column 1) and to allow other people, for example the
teacher, to evaluate the student’s language skills (column 2). As far as skills yet to be achieved (column 3,
objectives) it is possible to indicate how important these goals are.
Use the following symbols:

In columns 1 and 2:
✔ I can do this in normal circumstances.
✔ ✔ I can do this with no difficulty.
In column 3:
! This is a goal.
!! This is a priority for me.
If 80% of the boxes can be marked, then it is reasonable to assume the Level of proficiency has been reached.
