YOU LIVE AWD LEARN! (B) SOMEONE'S WATCHING YOU! SHARING FAMILY CHORES Do the Dishes and Win! Big Brother is a reality TV show that brings a number o1 people together in a house for a period of time. Cameras and microphones record their actions and they appear on TV. Each week viewers 5 vote for their favourite resident, and the least favourite housemate has to leave the house. This happens until there is only one housemate left, who goes home with a cash prize. Big Brother began in the Netherlands in 1999 and since then the idea 10 has spread like wildfire throughout the world. There have been Big Brother shows in over 70 countries worldwide. In its early years, Big Brother was a huge hit. Originally, people saw it as a fascinating social experiment. Viewers could peep into the lives of ordinary people twenty-four hours a day. It was very interesting for millions of young and old viewers around the world to see how different types of people live together. 20 15 One thing that hasn’t changed in the Big Brother household is that some residents get on like a house on fire, while others drive each other crazy. A major source of conflict for the contestants, but also entertainment for the viewers, is housework. If all housemates do their share of household chores housemates usually live in harmony. Yet a messy housemate who doesn’t help around the house isn't very welcome in the Big Brother "family”. In fact, the winner is usually the person who does their share of chores and doesn't complain about anybody else not doing theirs. Although over the years Big Brother has become less popular, there is still a huge audience eagerly awaiting to see how far their favourite or least favourite character will go to win the big cash prize in the end. Who knows? Maybe some of us see a bit of ourselves in the show! V Й5 I’'J 30 t- 35 U .

Who were the main characters? What was the climax event? How did the characters feel at the end of the story? It was a warm, sunny afternoon in Epping. Jamie and his two friends, Mark and Sean, were walking happily in the forest, telling stories of their recent holidays. Suddenly, while they were enjoying their walk, Mark’s foot hit something and he fell over. As he got up, he spotted something sticking out from the ground; the corner of a brown, dusty box. The three curious friends reached excitedly for the box, but it was too deep into the ground, which meant they would have to dig so as to get the box out. However, it was getting dark so they decided to cover the box with leaves and return the next day. The following afternoon, the boys rushed to the hidden spot in the woods with a small shovel. As soon as they got there, they started digging enthusiastically, and after an hour of exhausting effort, the three finally managed to pull the mysterious box out. Mark opened the box carefully, and what they saw in there took their breath away: dozens and dozens of small, gold coins! Later, they took the chest to the police and lound out that someone had stolen those coins from the local museum and hidden them in the woods. The museum was offering a three-hundred pound reward to anyone who found them. The three friends were now proud and happy that they had discovered the stolen treasure. But they were also famous, as their story and picture appeared on the front page of the local newspaper! 28 2 5 Choose a suitable title for the story. a A Walk in the Woods b The Hidden Treasure c The Fait ( 3Read the story again.

In the 1960s a collection of artists made that question even more difficult to answer. They created Pop Art, a style of art that represented everybody's everyday experiences. Pop artists were fascinated by realistic images 5 from everyday life that everybody saw. One element of life they noticed was that almost all people are consumers who buy and use millions of different things every day. As a result, many Pop artists used images of products from the supermarket or advertisements in their works. 10 The most famous Pop artist was the American Andy Warhol. Warhol painted products like Campbell's Soup, Coca Cola bottles and bananas. He also painted other everyday images. For example, his bright portraits of celebrities like Marilyn Monroe, the famous actress, became very fashionable. The British Pop artist Eduardo Paolozzi collected pictures and is advertisements from magazines to use in his works. Another well-liked Pop artist was Roy Lichtenstein, Instead of using products or advertisements, most of his works were simitar to images in the comic books that chiidren read every day. Many people in the art world do not accept Pop Art as a real го art form. They can't see why a dull painting of an ordinary can of soup should be part of an art exhibition. However, many original Pop Art works have sold for millions of dollars. Many works have also appeared on music album covers. All in all, the most important result of Pop Art is that it has created го a new artistic way of looking at the everyday world. 4 5 Pop artists were interested in people’s everyday experiences. Pop art was only in America. Alt Pop artists used images of products in their works, Paolozzi was only famous in Britain. Marilyn Monroe was a Pop artist who painted celebrities. Pop Art hasn’t been very popular with some people. Some Pop artists never sold their works.

For example, you can type a question in an Internet search engine and it will look for a site that will help you answer it.

They complain about sites on the Internet that cause anti-social behaviour. For example, they say some sites encourage violent behaviour.

Some may find the ending rather predictable, but all in all, Wall-E is a satisfying film that offers something for everyone. It is a children’s animation film, a science-fiction film and a romance film, all in one. It is also a film with a strong political and environmental message. All the family is sure to enjoy this brilliant film. В I I Wall-E is an animated film directed by Andrew Stanton about a likeable robot, Wall-E. It was one of the most successful films of 2008 and many believe it is one of the best animated films ever made. ШП Wall 'E is a very imaginative and unusual film. It certainly is not like normal children’s animations. There is very little speech because the robots communicate in beeps and movements. Also, the film is quite slow-paced and relies on beautiful imagery rather than fast-paced action. However, Wall-E is very well-written and the audience remains entertained throughout the film by the interesting characters they meet. The story is set in the future when all the humans decide to leave the Earth because it is too polluted. Before they go, they make robots dean the Earth so that one day humans can return. However, the plan doesn't work and all the robots break down except one, Wall-E, who continues working on his own. One day he meets Eve, another robot, who comes to the Earth to try to discover plant life. Wall-E and Eve begin an exciting adventure together to save the Earth. 2 Match the highlighted adjectives to their opposites below. worst ................. ugly ................. boring ................. disappointing ................. surprising .................. common ................. awful ................. 3 Read the three review extracts below and match them to their descriptions.

A servant girl, who wants to become the princess, kidnaps Pea with the help of Roscuro, an evil rat. It is up to Despereaux to defeat his opponents and rescue Pea. Although it is an American film, The Tale of Despereaux has an interesting European feel to it. It features a great cast of voice actors, with Mathew Broderick starring as Despereaux. It might not do well at the box office, because it is more artistic than action-packed, but it is sure to be a significant film for true film lovers. 0 INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL Indy is back!

Remember I told you that I would be visiting Warwick Castle with my classmates? j Well, I have to tell you about my exciting day I (herd ■ My teacher told us some interesting facts before our visit. Did you know that the old castle was built because a king’s daughter wanted a wall round her small village? Today, the castle has the Great Hall where meals were eaten, bedrooms and a tower with many windows on which canons were placed to defend the residents of the ca.stle. Also, there is a steep hill called the Mound, which stopped attacking soldiers from getting into the castle. Now, it has become part of the pretty hillside garden. Of course, there is also a gift shop and various restaurants serving tasty meals. We arrived there at 10 am and were taken around the Great Hall and the Cold Tower. Then my teacher surprised us by taking us on a Christmas journey. It was truly magical! We went through a pine forest with big ice sculptures of animals, Jack Frost and the Christmas Fairy, as well as a twenly-five-metre high Christmas tree. Unfortunately, it all ended too quickly.

To begin with, most gyms have a large amount of equipment and exercise machines. For example, gym members can choose to use equipment that exercises different parts of the body. Consequently, members can get an all-body workout by using different equipment, which means exercising is not boring and repetitive. In addition, gyms have trained instructors. Not only do they give advice on exercise techniques, but they also help members achieve their fitness goals with proper diet information. f В I )n conclusion, there are arguments both for and against a gym membership. In my opinion, the cost of a gym membership is not worth it. For those who want to exercise and keep fit, there are many free and more enjoyable options to choose from. C I I On the other hand, there are some drawbacks to a gym membership. Firstly, it costs money. Monthly or yearly fees are often expensive. Secondly, gyms are often crowded, especially in the evenings and on weekends. For this reason, it is sometimes necessary to go to the gym at unsociable hours to avoid queues for machines. I DI I Many people, with busy working lives, choose to join a gym for exercise. But is joining a gym the best option? People should be aware that there are both pros and cons to being a gym member. 1 Replace each of the highlighted words/phras« in the essay L vdth the appropriate alternative below. 1 Furthermore: ............................................ 1 Therefore:............................................... 3 However; .............................................. 4 All in all;............................................. 5 To start with: ........................................ 6 For instance; ......................................... 7 As a result: .......................................... 3 Fill in; in particular, Moreover, One point in favour of.

J Operation@Smile Changing Lives One Smile at a Time 10 IS Imagine feeling uncomfortable about smiling or even talking because of a facial deformity*. Now imagine that the physical challenges of your deformity are minor compared with the emotional challenges, as others make fun of or avoid you because of your strange appearance. Lastly, imagine that all your problems could be fixed by one simple operation that could transform not only your face, but your whole life; but your family is too poor to pay for this operation ... This is where Operation Smi/e comes in. Founded in 1982 by plastic surgeon William Magee and his wife Kathleen, Operation Smiie is a charity that sends teams of medical volunteers to developing nations to treat children with facial deformities. The idea for Operation Smiie came to William and Kathleen when they were in the Philippines with a group of doctors to operate on some children with disfigured faces. When they arrived, they came upon hundreds of children with facial deformities - far zo too many than they could help on one trip. William and Kathleen knew that they could not just forget about these children. So, when they got back to the USA, they started Operation Smi/e. Their mission? To ensure every child in the world is zs given a chance to smile. To date, Operation Smi/e has repaired the faces of more than 120,000 children worldwide. The Magee’s have faced many challenges along the way. Principal among these is raising the money to keep their so volunteer work going. But the thousands of happy faces have been a reward that makes the doctors’ hard efforts all the more worthwhile.

Translate the situations into English: Паралимпийские игры становятся все более популярными, Тысячи спортсменов, которые отказались сдаться и готовы бросить вызов судьбе, участвуют в них. Их позитивное отношение к жизни воодушевляет многих. Люди, ставшие по разным причинам инвалидами, понимают, что их жизнь может быть интересной и полезной. Сама жизнь - абсолютное чудо. Многие паралимпийские спортсмены прошли через ужасные испытания, прежде чем поняли это. Алексей Ашапатов был уже известным спортсменом, когда в результате несчастного случая потерял ногу в 2002 году. Он продолжил заниматься спортом и выиграл несколько соревнований сначала по волейболу, затем в метании диска. Олеся Владыкина, которая победила в соревнованиях по плаванию на пекинской олимпиаде, победила себя, За год до олимпиады в Таиланде перевернулся туристический автобус, в котором она ехала. Олеся выжила в этой аварии, но потеряла руку и получила сильнь[й ушиб спины. Многие бы впали в депрессию после такой трагедии, но Олеся всех поразила своим мужеством. Она не стала тратить время на жалость к себе, а начала упорно тренироваться. Как ни странно, инвалидность пробудила в ней скрытые силы, И вот результат - олимпийское золото! Олеся считает, что только экстремальные моменты позволяют использовать свой потенциал. Ее девиз: «Никогда не сдавайся!». Следует больше писать о таких людях и делать все возможное, чтобы они не чувствовали себя инвалидами, даже находясь в инвалидной коляске. 83 SET 1 Pairwork Activities Visual Materials Student Join US for the 9t!r Annual FhmmFmtwci from 18th-24th May in Hampton Park, Seagrove • plant & vegetable exhibits ■ Siitgi'ound rides for children pntranee fire: adults jf2, сЫккеп free 5A 32flii London Film Festival: |uty12th-25th at theOdean Theatre Complex, South Bank Over 100 films ' 13 from France alone, 42 more from the rest of Europe, and another 55 from around the world I Booking: I By telephone: Call 020 8593 T754 from 09:30-20:10 daily.
