Exercise 5:
In my country, many very young children go to nursery school, but they don’t have to go. The
first school you must go to is primary school. This is for children aged five to eleven years old.
Older children go to secondary school, where they have lots of homework and exams. Here, they
study subjects like Geography, History and IT. Some children have evening classes, for example
they might have extra English classes, which their parents pay for. Some people stop their
education after secondary school, but many continue their education by going to college. In my
country, they usually study just a few subjects at college.
You can study for a degree at university. You need to do this if you want to become a teacher, a
lawyer or an engineer, for example. Many university courses include a work placement, where
students spend a few months in a place of work and learn some practical skills. After graduating
from university, some students stay at a university to do a postgraduate course. Education
doesn’t stop when you leave school or university. Many people go to private lessons which they
attend after a full day at work. You can also learn a lot at work by going on training courses. For
example, you might learn how to use new computer software or how to communicate with
customers.

OK, I’m going to tell you where some of the important rooms in the museum
are. We’ll start with the ‘Car Collection’ room. So we’re here in the Welcome
Hall, facing the Central Hall. You need to go through the door over there on

that way – take the other door instead. Go across the corridor and then you’ll
enter a long, narrow room. Walk all the way through this room, through the
corridor and into the next one. That’s where you’ll find our collection of
cars.

me explain how to find it. From here, the Welcome Hall, go straight ahead
into the Central Hall, and then head for the door on the left on the west side
of the hall. Go through the door that leads outside – and then you’ll see a row
of three buildings. When you’re facing the buildings, the middle building will
be directly in front of you, and you want the one on the left of it.
Alright, what about the ‘Fashion and Travel’ room? There are a couple of
ways to get there, but I suggest you leave here, the Welcome Hall, and go into
the Central Hall. turn left, but don’t go all the way to the end. You want the

‘Fashion and Travel’ room.

Exercise 6:
Sugar is now a big health problem in many countries around the world.
What is your opinion?
Nowadays, a lot of people around the world are unhealthy because they eat too much sugar. In my
opinion, people should reduce the amount of sugar they eat but also enjoy sweet things sometimes.
In this essay, I am going to explain why I partly agree and disagree that sugar is a big health
problem.
On the one hand, it is true that people eat too much sugar now and that it has a bad effect on their
health. For example, in my country a lot of people drink cola with their meals instead of water.
Cola has a large amount of sugar in it so they are drinking a lot more calories. More calories means
that people get fat and have problems with their heart or other illnesses. In my view, they should
reduce the amount of cola that they drink.
On the other hand, it is important not to stop enjoying traditional food. For example, in my country
we have traditional sweet cakes with cherries and nuts, which we eat at parties. Also, where I live
it is normal to have sugar with coffee. I think it would be sad to
stop eating these cakes on special occasions and I do not agree that it is a problem to drink coffee
with sugar sometimes.
In conclusion, I agree that sugar is a big health problem. I think people should reduce the amount
of sugar they have by drinking water instead of cola but I also think they should still enjoy sugar
on special occasions or in coffee sometimes.

Introduction: a lot of people want to have a university education
Main Paragraph 1
Fact: true = there are advantages to studying at university
Reasons or examples: if you get a degree in medicine, you can be a doctor
if you get a degree in law you can be a lawyer
also, a degree can improve your knowledge and ability
Main Paragraph 2
Fact: however, some jobs do not require a degree
Reasons or examples: a degree is not necessary if you want to run a shop or manage a business
also, going to university can be very expensive
Conclusion (with my opinion): a degree is necessary for some jobs but not others
I think you should go to university if you can
Exercise 3:
At the present time, a lot of people want to have a university education while others choose not to
go to university, and get a job instead. In this essay, I am going to compare both of these options
and then offer my own view.
On the one hand, it is certainly true that there are advantages to studying at university. firstly ,
certain jobs require certain degrees. If you want to be a lawyer or a doctor, you will need to get a
degree in Law or Medicine. secondly, learning about something that interests you can improve
your knowledge. Moreover, there are studies that show that getting a degree can help you learn
how to ask questions and solve problems.
However, on the other hand, there are a lot of jobs that do not require a degree. As a result, some
people prefer to start work as soon as they leave school without going to university. For example,
if you want to run a shop, it is not necessary to get a degree in Psychology first. likewise , you do
not have to study Engineering or Education in order to manage a business. In addition, university
can be very expensive, so some people prefer to get a job instead of paying a lot of money.
In conclusion, there are definitely advantages to receiving a university education. A degree is

necessary for certain jobs but not essential for others. nevertheless, in my opinion, everyone who
has the opportunity to go to university, should go.
Exercise 4:
1. At the present time, a lot…
2. On the one hand, it is certainly…
3. Secondly, learning about something…
4. However, on the other hand, there are…
5. Likewise, you do not…
6. In conclusion, there are…
Exercise 5:
At the present time = at the moment
On the one hand = from one point of view
On the other hand = from another point of view
In conclusion = to conclude
In my opinion = in my view

Exercise 10:
There has been a lot of discussion recently about the role of money in sport. Some people
believe that sport has become a business and, therefore, that we are forgetting the original
meaning of sport as a game.
In my opinion , however, money is good for the world of sport for two reasons. First of all ,
money allows the best sportsmen and sportswomen to spend all their time practising their sports.
They don’t have to do other jobs just to earn money. As a result , they can become a lot better at
their chosen sports.
secondly , when there is more money, sports might become a lot safer. For example , sports
teams could then afford more full-time doctors to take care of their players. On the other hand ,
there is a risk that money gives the richest people, teams and countries an unfair advantage. For
this reason , most people from poorer teams or countries rarely have the chance of reaching the
top of their sports.
overall , however, I believe that more money generally makes sport better.

Exercise 4:
Introduction: good and bad points
Advantage: 1. Rich cultural life 2. Happiness 3. Attract tourists
Disadvantages: 1. For education and health 2. Landmarks and schools/hospitals
Conclusion: services like healthcare are more important.
Exercise 5:
There is no doubt that governments of countries with enough money use a lot of tax income for
museums and landmarks. In my view, this has both good and bad points : looking after the
culture of any country is important but services like healthcare are more important. In this essay,
I am going to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of supporting museums and landmarks
financially and lastly, give my opinion.
On the one hand, governments spending taxes on museums and landmarks has clear advantages.
Providing a rich cultural life for the population increases national happiness . Landmarks that
are looked after well also attract tourists . For example, a lot of Russians visit the Hermitage
Museum in St. Petersburg and think it is an important part of their country. The pyramids in
Egypt are important to the local economy with lots of visitors staying in hotels nearby and going
to shops and restaurants.
On the other hand, if the government spends taxes on museums and landmarks it has less money
to spend on services like education and health . Some countries that have famous landmarks
must choose between looking after them and spending the money on schools and hospitals . In
Zimbabwe, for example, looking after the roads, paths and land near the Victoria Falls costs as
much money as paying for several schools and medical centres.
In conclusion, there are advantages and disadvantages to a government supporting museums and
landmarks with taxes. Although, I think it is a good idea , I think services like healthcare are
more important.
Exercise 6:
1. There is no doubt that governments…
2. On the one hand, governments spending…
3. On the other hand, if the government…
4. In conclusion, there are advantages…
Exercise 7:
3. Nations which do not earn enough income to support their cultural actions.
4. Some countries need to spend money first on schools and hospitals.
5. If countries don’t support their cultural attractions, this might cause famous paintings or
monuments to be damaged or people to forget about their country’s history.
6. Tipasa in Algeria, The Acropolis in Athens, Greece.
7. Spending money on cultural attractions can make a profit. Famous museums and
landmarks attract tourists and these visitors spend a lot of money.
8. If countries without a lot of money pay for the cultural attractions that will make the most
profit for the country, they can then spend that money on important services like
healthcare
Exercise 8:
Some countries may not have enough money to look after their museums and landmarks. What
are some of the problems associated with not looking after museums and landmarks, and what
are some of the possible solutions?
There is no doubt that some nations do not earn (earn) enough income to support their cultural
attractions. In my opinion, these countries should spend most money on the museums and
landmarks that will provide the highest profit for the country. In this essay, I am going to (go) to
discuss some of the difficulties associated with not looking after museums and landmarks and
give some possible answers to them.
On the one hand, it might (might) be difficult for countries without high tax incomes to look
after their museums and landmarks. Some countries need to spend money first on schools and
hospitals. This might cause famous paintings or monuments to be (be) damaged or for people to
forget about their country's history. For example, in 2011, I visited (visit) a Roman town in
Algeria called Tipasa. The government does (do) not have enough money to support it and so
the local people do (do) not learn much about it.
On the other hand, spending money on cultural attractions can make a profit. Famous museums
and landmarks attract tourists and these visitors spend a lot of money. The people then pay (pay)
more taxes and the government has (have) more money to spend on things like healthcare. In
Greece most tourists who go to Athens want to visit the Acropolis where they spend money in
gift shops and cafes. It is, therefore, important that the Greek government looks (look) after the
Acropolis.
In conclusion, if countries without a lot of money pay for the cultural attractions that will make
the most profit for the country, they can then spend that money on important services like
healthcare.

Exercise 6:
1. Reduces the chance of accidents – B
That could be a rock or a large stone or even just a large snowball – and you
put it there to remind yourself where the roof is. This is so you don’t walk on
it and fall through when you’re outside.
2. Soft branches are best – H
Um, before you shut yourself inside the cave for the night, do go out and
collect some tree branches – branches from fir trees are the best type – as
they’re nice and soft . You can then place these inside the cave, on top of the
flat shelf – the one towards the back of the cave and away from the entrance.
3. Piled-up snow adds strength – C
It’s a good idea to pile up as much snow as possible over the top of your cave
– on the outside, I mean, so it’s good and thick. And you can see from the diagram that the pile
has formed into a pyramid shape. When the snow turns
to ice and becomes really hard, your cave will be less likely to fall in.
4. Allows air in and smoke out – D
If your cave is big and wide enough for you to have a small fire inside, of
course you’ll need to let the smoke out. And if you’re inside for the whole
night, you’ll need to let some air in, too. To do this, you’ll need to make some
small holes .

Exercise 3:
I’m going to be famous when I’m older. I’m going to present a TV programme about films.
Later, they’ll ask me to star in films and I’ll have my name in big letters on movie posters. I’ll
earn a fortune for every film I make and I’ll be incredibly rich. I’ll also own a luxury yacht and
perhaps I’ll have my own private island. My photo will appear on the cover of lots of
magazines. I’ll attend film premieres (and see movies before anyone else), where I’ll wear
stylish clothes. Of course, it won’t be so nice if thousands of people recognize me in the street. I
don’t really want to sign hundreds of autographs every day. It’d be horrible if newspapers and
magazines passed on rumours and gossip about my private life. I also don’t think I’d like to take
part in lots of boring interviews and press conferences. Maybe being famous wouldn’t be so nice
after all.
Exercise 4:
1. The media is the general name for the group which includes the internet, newspapers,
magazines, television, etc.

cinemas to watch moving pictures (or ‘ movies ’) for the first time.

the same time, using, for example, television or radio.
6. radio was the first way of broadcasting spoken words and music, and it continues to be
popular today.
7. In the middle of the 20th century, as television sets became cheaper, TV took over from
radio as the most popular form of broadcast media.
8. At the end of the 20th century, the internet added a new way of providing traditional
media, such as news, music and films.
9. However, in the early 21st century, millions of ordinary people started creating their own
online ‘newspapers’, where they reported whatever they found interesting in their web
logs (later shortened to ‘ blogs ’).
10. Later, thanks to social sites like YouTube, Facebook and Twitter, everybody could
broadcast everything to the world, instantly.

To conclude, I use two laptops, so I know that communicating through email or websites means
that friends can easily keep in contact but might not see each other as often. I email my friend in
Shanghai every day. The internet has, therefore, had both positive and negative effects on
friendships. Another negative effect is that people spend too much time looking at a computer
screen. At the end of the day, however, I believe that it offers more good points than bad points.
Another good point is that email is very quick. Another bad point is that phones or laptops can
break.

Read the instructions carefully – especially the word limit (e.g. don’t write two words if the
instructions say one word only).
Before you listen, try to guess what kind of words you need to listen for.
Look for cues (key words) in the questions – when you hear them, it helps you find the answers
you need.
While listening
Speakers will usually introduce their talk – they explain what they are going to talk about and
why.
The notes summarize the main information from the talk.

This is because a lot of people live in towns and, as a result, there is a lot of traffic and
rubbish on the streets.

Exercise 3:
I believe that people have a responsibility to take care of wildlife . The best way to do this is to
protect the places where they live – their natural habitat . That’s why I decided to take part in a
local conservation project to protect the plants and animals in a forest near my town. The forest
is home to several endangered species – types of animals and plants which may soon not exist
because there are so few of them. For example, there are some very rare birds, which are only
found in a few small areas now – there are probably fewer than 500 of them left in the wild. Fifty
years ago, there were lots of them everywhere – they were a lot more common . Anyway, thanks
to our conservation project, the bird population is slowly going up again. The birds are still at
risk , but hopefully we’ll be able to save them.

think I can write about the destruction of the rainforests. What about you?
Student 2: Oh, I’m going to write about what we could do to slow down global warming. I’m
going to write about how we can be more ‘green’. People might not realize that even small
changes might make a big difference.
Student 1: Good idea. You can talk about people recycling their rubbish.
