Page 10 Exercise 6d

1.17
Your surname = your public self
You use only initials either for your first name or your surname = you are more secretive
and protective about that part of your personality (i.e. private or public).
There is a space between your name and surname = the bigger the space, the more you
want to keep the two parts of your personality separate.

1.18
Your first name is bigger than your surname = your private self is more important.
Your surname is bigger than your first name = your public self is more important.
Your whole signature is big = you are probably quite self-confident.
You sign in capital letters = you may be big-headed or even arrogant.
Your signature is small = you may be insecure and have low self-esteem.

1.19

 lOMoARcPSD|47282842

Your signature is legible = you have clear ideas and objectives.

Your signature is illegible = you don9t think clearly. You may be disorganized and
indecisive. You may also be quite secretive.
The more illegible your signature is…the less assertive you are.

1.20
A rising signature = you work hard to overcome problems. You are determined,
optimistic, and ambitious.
A descending signature = you get depressed when you have problems. You are not very
self-confident.
A horizontal signature = you are well-balanced, emotionally stable, and generally
satisfied with life.
The angle of a signature may change depending on… how you are feeling.

Page 11 Exercise 7a

1 The more you study, the more you learn.

2 The sooner we leave, the earlier we9ll get there.
3 The more time you have, the more slowly you do things.
4 The fitter you are, the better you feel.

Page 11 Exercise 8a

1 Some people actually sign in capital letters, which suggests that they may be big-
headed or even arrogant.
2 A descending signature…suggests that you are the kind of person who gets
disheartened or depressed when you are faced with problems, perhaps because you
are not very self-confident.
3 A horizontal signature usually indicates a person who is well-balanced and
emotionally stable.

Page 11 Exercise 8b

big-headed is negative, but self-confident and well-balanced are positive characteristics.

Page 11 Exercise 8c

Positive: good-tempered, open-minded, easy-going, laid-back

Negative: bad-tempered, narrow-minded, absent-minded, tight-fisted, two-faced,

1 sudden changes of wind directions, especially during thunderstorms and

typhoons – but it9s very unusual
2 Most turbulence isn9t dangerous, just bumpy and uncomfortable. It won9t
damage the plane. Pilots try to avoid it, but it can happen without warning, so keep
your seat belt on.
3 Both are dangerous (the critical eight minutes – three minutes after take-off
and five before landing), but take-off is a bit more dangerous than landing, especially
if there is a problem just before the plane goes into the air. The pilot may only have
one minute to abort take-off.
4 Yes, especially ones with mountains or in countries with older more basic
equipment. Only very experienced pilots are allowed to land at these airports and
sometimes have to practise on a simulator first.
5 An air traffic controller needs to be a self-confident person – sure of himself
and of the decisions he makes.
6 In general, it isn9t as stressful as people think. There are stressful moments, but
you are too busy to feel stressed.
7 Because it9s the official language of air traffic control, e.g. cleared for take-off.
Pilots and air traffic controllers need to understand each other, especially in an
emergency, so they need good clear English. There have been accidents because of
misunderstandings caused by incorrect pronunciation.
8 There are a lot of female air traffic controllers although it isn9t 50–50. There
are some female pilots, but most pilots are men.

An emergency announcement saying the plane had to make an emergency landing on

water was played by mistake.

Page 26 Exercise 6b

At 11.35 on January 13th 2012 British Airways flight BA 0206 1took off from Miami to
London. It had been flying for about three hours, and was over the Atlantic, when suddenly
a voice 2came out of the loudspeakers: 8This is an emergency announcement. We may
shortly have to make an emergency landing on water.9
Immediately panic 3broke out. One passenger on the flight said, 8My wife and I looked at
each other and we feared the worst. We imagined that we were about to crash into the
Atlantic. It was awful. Everybody 4was screaming.9
But about 30 seconds later the cabin crew started to run up and down the aisle saying that
the message 5had been played by accident, and that everything was OK. By this time a lot

their seats.
Another passenger said, 8The captain didn9t even say anything about it until just before we
started to land and even then he didn9t explain what 7had happened. It was very traumatic.
Everybody was terrified. I can9t think of anything worse than being told your plane9s about
to crash. It 8was the worst experience of my life.9
Later a British Airways spokesman 9said, 8A pre-recorded emergency announcement was
activated by error on our flight from Miami to Heathrow. We would like to apologize to
passengers on this flight.9

Page 41 Exercise 5c

1 Being a pedestrian or a jogger is more dangerous than being a driver. People

have more accidents at home and at work than on the road.
2 Most fatal accidents happen because people break the law. The most frequent
cause is driving too fast.
3 By day a driver can see about 500 yards ahead, but at night it is much worse –
maybe as little as 120 yards.
4 Statistics show that more accidents in the UK happen on a Friday between four
and six in the afternoon. People are finishing work for the week and are rushing home
to start their weekend. Their mind may already be on what they are planning to do
and they may not be concentrating 100% on the road.
5 Sixty per cent of accidents happen within two miles from where we live. The
most common kind of accident is crashing into a parked car near our home. Drivers
concentrate less well when they driving on roads they know.
6 You are twice as likely to have an accident on a country road as a road in town.
Drivers think it is safer to break the speed limit on these roads because they are
quieter.
7 Men take too many unnecessary risks when they9re driving. Women are
generally much more careful drivers.
8 This is the age when drivers have very little experience of driving and it9s also
the age when they are most likely to drive too fast and take unnecessary risks.

3 to intensify the emotion that we are feeling, e.g. if we are sad, we play sad music

Page 56 Exercise 4c
Three important human emotions
2 sadness
3 anger

How we feel affects the way we speak, e.g.

2 sad – speak more slowly / lower
3 angry – raise voice / shout

Music copies this, e.g.

2 slow music with falling pitches makes us feel sad
3 loud music with irregular rhythms makes us feel angry

Examples (pieces of music)

Music that makes us feel
1 happy, e.g. Beethoven9s Seventh Symphony
2 angry, e.g. Mars from The Planets by Holst
3 sad, e.g. Albinoni9s Adagio for strings.
This is especially exploited in…film soundtracks, e.g. the shower scene in Psycho

Speaker 1: He is a Spanish man living in the UK. He has problems getting to sleep and
wakes up when he is asleep because his bedroom isn9t dark enough. He prefers to sleep
in complete darkness with closed blinds (which he always used to do in Spain), but his

Mr Wood, who is 155 years old and a retired 2chef, has been a sleepwalker for more than 40
years.
8The first time it happened I was 3149, he said. 8My parents heard me wandering downstairs
in the middle of the night. Now I get up 4four or five times a week and these days I usually
head for the kitchen, although on other occasions I have also turned on the television very
loudly and even filled 5the bath with water.9
His wife Eleanor says that she often wakes up in the night when she hears her husband
cooking downstairs. She has seen him laying the table and caught him making 6omelettes
and spaghetti bolognese and even frying 7chips. The couple say that because of Mr Wood9s
sleepwalking they only get a few hours9 sleep a night and are getting worried that Robert
could start a 8fire without realizing. 8I really am asleep and have no idea I am getting up,9
said Mr Wood.
Mrs Wood says that although the food her husband cooks when asleep looks lovely, she has
never eaten it. 8Every night, I think <Is Rob going to cook tonight?=. The last time he was in
the kitchen, he spilt milk all over the place.9

1 The way you begin the conversation is very important.
3 If you9re in the wrong, admit it. This is the easiest and best way to avoid an
argument. Apologize and move on. The other person will have more much respect for
you.
5 Don9t exaggerate. This will just make the other person get very defensive.
6 Do not raise your voice. Raising your voice will just make the other person lose
their temper, too. If you find yourself raising your voice, stop and take a deep breath,
and continue calmly. If you can talk calmly and quietly, you9ll find the other person
will be more ready to think about what you are saying.
7 Stick to the point. Try to keep to the topic you are talking about. Don9t bring up
old arguments, or try to bring in other issues. Just concentrate on solving the one
problem you are having and leave the other things for another time.
9 If necessary, call 8Time out9. You can then continue talking about it the next
day when perhaps both of you are feeling less tense and angry. That way there9s much
more chance that you9ll be able to reach an agreement.

That9s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

1 A step = the act of lifting your foot and putting it down in order to walk or
move somewhere. A leap = a long or high jump; a sudden large change or increase in
something.
2 Mankind = all humans, thought about as one large group; the human race.

The controversy is whether he said 8one small step for man9 or 8one small step for a
man9. The version without a doesn9t really make sense.

8One small step for a man9 means one small step for an individual human being.
8One small step for man9 means one small step for all men, i.e. the human race (which
is the same as mankind).

It proved him right.

Hi Sue,

Sorry that I haven9t been in touch for a while, but I9ve been ill. I got flu last week and I had
a temperature of 39°C, so I9ve been in bed for four days. I9m feeling a bit better today, so
I9ve been catching up on my emails. Luckily my classes at university don9t start till next
week.

How are you? What have you been doing? Anything exciting? Here everyone is fine (apart
from me and my flu!). My brother Ian has just started his new job with a software company
– I think I told you about it when I last wrote – anyway, he9s really enjoying it. How are
your family? I hope they9re well.

I have some good news – I9m going to a conference in your town in May, from 16th to 20th.
Could you recommend hotel where I could stay in the centre of town? It needs to be
somewhere not too expensive because the university is paying. I9ll have a free half-day for
sightseeing. Do you think you9ll be able to show me around? That would be great.

Well, that9s all for now. Please give my regards to your family.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Take care,
Anna

He wrote an email which had a negative comment about his boss9s wife in it and he
accidentally sent it to his boss. He was sacked.

It was only a small mistake, but it changed my life for ever. I had been working at JB
Simpson9s for ten years. It was a small 1family run company which exported garden
furniture. I was 2quite happy with my job. I got on 3well with the owner, Arthur Simpson,
but not with his wife, Linda. She was a loud, 4aggressive woman, who 5frequently used to
turn up at the office and start criticizing us for no reason. Everyone disliked her.

One afternoon Mrs Simpson came in while I was finishing writing a report. She looked at
me and said, 8If I were you, I wouldn9t wear that colour. It doesn9t suit you at all.9 I was
wearing a 6new pink shirt that I was very 7fond of, and her comment really annoyed me. I
typed a 8quick email to Alan Simmonds in Sales. 8Watch out! The old witch is here!9 and
pressed 8send9. A couple of minutes later I was surprised to receive an email from Mr
Simpson asking me to come to his office 9immediately. When I opened the door I saw his
wife glaring at the computer screen. I realised, to my horror, what I had done. I had clicked
on Simpson instead of Simmonds. 10An hour later I was packing my things. I had been
sacked.

8I want to talk to you about an email you sent,9 Mr Simpson said coldly.

Every year, more and more people are tempted by the idea of going on an adventure sports
holiday, especially during the summer months.

Spending your holiday being active and enjoying the outdoors has a lot of advantages. 1The
main advantage is that adventure sports, like many other physical activities, offer health
benefits. 2For example, when you practise extreme sports your brain releases endorphins

66

Downloaded by Kristýna Ka?márová ([email protected])

 lOMoARcPSD|47282842

because of the adrenalin rush and that makes you feel happy. 3Another advantage is the
self-confidence that you gain from doing these activities. 4Furthermore the lessons learnt
from facing the difficulties and the risks of these extreme sports may be very valuable in
everyday life.
5
On the other hand, there are also some important disadvantages. 6Although they make
you feel good, risky sports can be extremely dangerous. The possibility of getting seriously
injured while performing these activities is quite high, and some adventure sports, 7for
example, skydiving or cliff jumping can even have fatal consequences. 8Because of these
risks you need to be extremely fit to practise these sports during a holiday, which means
they are not for everyone. 9In addition, they are likely to be expensive because they require
a lot of equipment, safety measures, and well-trained and qualified instructors.
10
To sum up, adventure sports holidays have both advantages and disadvantages. Whether
they suit you or not depends on your level of fitness, your personality, and how much you
can afford.

I think this is a family photo, although none of the family members is actually looking are
the camera. 1In the foreground we see the inside of a room with a glass door leading into a
garden. 2In the centre of the photo there is a girl sitting at the table, resting her head on one
hand, with an open book 3in front of her. There are two other empty chairs around the table.
The girl is smiling; she looks as if she is daydreaming, maybe about something she9s read in
the book. 4To her right, there is another woman, who looks older than the girl, perhaps her
mother. She9s standing with her arms folded, looking out of the glass doors into the garden.
She seems to be watching what9s happening 5outside, and she looks a bit worried.
6
In the background, we can see a terrace, and 7behind that a beautiful garden. Outside the
glass door son the right you can see a bot and a man who may be father and son. The boy is
standing looking at the man who is crouching 8opposite him. It looks as though they9re
having a serious conversation. Maybe the boy has been naughty because it seems as if he9s
looking at the ground. This photo reminds me of a David Hockney or Edward Hopper
painting, and it immediately makes you speculate about who the people are what they are
thinking.

1
Nowadays in the UK when a young person commits a minor offence he or she is normally
sentenced to prison, given a fine or community service. 2In most cases I believe that
community service is the best option.
3
Firstly, community service often persuade a young person not to re-offend. 4For instance
working with sick children, or old people makes the young offenders realize that there are
people who have more difficult lives than they do. So community service can be an
educational experience, 5whereas going to prison or paying a fine is not.
6
Secondly, spending time in prison results in young people meeting other criminals and
learning more about the criminal world, which may tempt them into committing more
crimes. 7In addition, in prisons many of the inmates take drugs and this is a terrible
example for young offenders.
8
Finally, I do not think that a fine is suitable punishment for young people. They do not
usually have much money themselves, 9so it is often the parents who pay the fine for them.
10
In conclusion, I believe that community service has important advantages both for minor
offenders and for the community.

Meg and Liam McGowan got a nasty surprise when they were checking in at Heathrow
airport yesterday with their baby Shaun. They had won three free plane tickets to Rome in a
competition, and they had been looking forward to their trip for months. But,
unfortunately, they had forgotten to get a passport for their son, so Shaun couldn9t fly.
Luckily, they had arrived very early for their flight, so they still had time to do something
about it. They ran to the police station in the airport to apply for an emergency passport.
Meg went with Shaun to the photo machine while Liam was filling in the forms. The
passport was ready in an hour, so they hurried to the gate and got on the plane.
