Page 20, Exercises 2a and 3Message 1JANIE: Hi, Brian! It’s 7:30. So early on a

Monday morning! We’re on our way to the airport to fly to the Bahamas for a festival, and we’re sitting in a traffic jam on the highway. We’ve been here for half an hour, and we haven’t moved at all. I think a bus has broken down. It’s hot, and I’m bored. What a terrible start to our trip. Oh, better go – I think we’re starting to move … finally.

Message 2JANIE: Hey. It’s eleven o’clock, and we’re

at the airport. And guess what? The plane’s delayed. They say it’s because of bad weather, but the weather looks nice outside. We have to wait for two hours! Ugh, the place is really packed – there are people everywhere! At least Dad gave me some money to buy a magazine to read.

at 6:00.GEMMA: Ugh! Are you ready?MARK: What d’ya mean?GEMMA: D’ya have your passport and stuff?

Is your suitcase packed?MARK: Um, no. I always do things at the

last minute. I don’t need much – a couple of T-shirts. That’s all.

GEMMA: I dunno. I think it’s kinda cold there right now. It’s January, you know, not July. You need to take a sweater.

MARK: Well, I guess you’re right. I’ll take a sweater.

GEMMA: And d’ya think you’re ready for the math test when you get back on Monday?

KAREN: Hi, Steve.STEVE: Hey, Karen! What’s up?KAREN: Not much … You know, I saw Jordan’s

friend yesterday … oh, what’s his name … the tall dark-haired guy?

STEVE: You mean Brad?KAREN: Yeah. I have a terrible memory for

names. I can remember faces but not names.

STEVE: You know, Anna, my cousin? She can remember people she’s seen – even just once in a big group. She can even remember acquaintances from when she was five years old. It’s a special ability. People like Anna are called “super recognizers.”

KAREN: That’s amazing. Is she like those people who can remember everything they’ve read or every picture they’ve seen?

STEVE: I don’t think she can remember everything she’s ever read, but she remembers faces!

KAREN: Wow! Imagine going up to someone in a store and saying “Hi! I saw you in a museum in Atlanta six years ago!” They’d think you were crazy.

STEVE: Gosh, yes! I don’t know if I’d like to be like that. But Anna says it can be very useful. For example, super recognizers work with the police to find criminals in large groups of people, like at soccer games when fans cause problems.

KAREN: I never knew that! I’d be happy if I could just remember people’s names! Who was Jordan’s friend again?

1AMITA: Hey, Malike, how was your trip to

Bali with your family?MALIKE: Oh, we had a really fantastic

time. On the last day we saw this traditional Balinese dancing. My mom said they danced more gracefully than any ballet dancer she’s seen.

AMITA: Really? Why are they so good?MALIKE: A lot of people say it’s because

they learn to dance with their hands when they’re very young. Because they hear music from such an early age, they have this totally amazing sense of rhythm.

AMITA: What was your opinion?MALIKE: I thought the dancing was great,

but I really loved the costumes. They were so colorful and beautiful. Some people think they look a little strange, but I don’t care what other people think. I loved them.

2AMITA: So, tell me more about this

dancing. What kind of music do they dance to?

MALIKE: They dance to the gamelan.AMITA: Gamelan? What’s that?MALIKE: It’s a kind of traditional band with

instruments like drums, strings, and flutes. My brother thought they were cool, but my dad hated it because it was too noisy!

AMITA: And what about you? What did you think?

MALIKE: Well, I don’t really have an opinion. I was so busy watching the dancers, I don’t really remember what the music was like.

I’m coming over at 5:00.

HOST: OK. And what instruments do you play?

ELISA: I play piano. Susana plays guitar and Ana’s on the drums. Lupita is our singer. She’s terrific.

HOST: So, when did you start playing with the band?

ELISA: Uh, at school in 2010.HOST: Who inspired you to play music?ELISA: I had a great music teacher at

my school. When I was 10 years old, he taught me to play different instruments, and he encouraged me to find one that I really loved and stay with it. It’s fun to practice when you find an instrument that’s right for you.

HOST: How many songs have you recorded?ELISA: Three. You can download them all. And

of course I’m writing more songs for the band.

HOST: And what do you like best about playing music?

ELISA: Playing with my friends! It’s so much fun to play and sing together.

HOST: Well, good luck in the future.

Track 10


HOST: Tell everyone a little bit about yourself. Like, what instrument do you play and what music do you like?

RICARDO: I’m Ricardo, and I play guitar. I play mostly folk music. I especially like love songs.

HOST: It sounds like you’ve been playing for a while. When did you start learning?

RICARDO: As for instruments, I started learning how to play the guitar about five years ago. My uncle is a folk singer and he inspired me to learn how to play. I sing a little too, but not very well. I didn’t start singing until last year. But now that I’m writing my own songs, I want to be able to sing well.

HOST: So, you’re writing songs? How many have you recorded?

RICARDO: I’ve written a lot, but I haven’t recorded many songs. In fact, last month I recorded my first one, called “Dark Hearts.”

HOST: What do you like best about playing music?

RICARDO: People often ask me what I enjoy about playing guitar. I guess it’s bringing music into people’s lives. I think music makes people feel happy.

HOST: It certainly does. Let’s hear another song.

RICARDO: Sure.

HOST: That’s amazing. It definitely sounds more like an ability.

TONY: Yeah – but imagine if that happens all the time. It’s a very powerful feeling and not always a positive one. And some people see colors when people are speaking to them. This happens to one man on the show, Luke. He says that people’s words are red when they’re angry or blue when they’re not telling the truth. Basically, his head is always full of confusing colors.

HOST: Wow. Scary! It’s strange, but sometimes words have colors for me too. When I think of the days of the week – Monday is red, Tuesday is blue … maybe I’m synes … whatever you said.

TONY: Maybe you need to see a doctor!HOST: Um, well, anyway, about the

documentary. It’s at 7:30. I hope you can join us.

Track 23

Page 56, Exercise 5bAlthough most people today think of pink for girls and blue for boys, you might be surprised to learn that this is a fairly new idea. Sure, it would be really weird to see a three-year-old boy dressed in bright pink today. However, in Victorian times, that wouldn’t have been so strange at all! Back then, for instance, parents dressed their children in colors like pinks, blues, and whites. Even though it sounds strange now, boys in Victorian times wore dresses too – just like the girls! However, things have changed a lot since then.

1A: Good morning. I need something for my

skin. I sat in the sun too long. I’m not sure how to say it in English.

B: You mean you got sunburned?A: Yes. Is this the right thing for my problem? I

don’t know what it’s called.B: That’s sunscreen. It protects you from the

sun. You need this one if you’re already sunburned.

A: Thank you very much for your help.2A: Hello. I want to buy some insect repellent.

What’s the difference between this one and this one?

B: This one is a liquid that you put on your skin, but this one’s a spray.

A: It says “For external use only.” I don’t understand what this means. My English isn’t very good.

B: It means you can put it on your skin, but you can’t eat it.

A: It’s only for your skin?B: That’s right.A: OK, I’ll take the spray.

you do?B: If my teacher made a mistake, I’d point it

HOST: So, Tony, what’s the documentary tonight about?

TONY: Basically, it’s about a girl, Stella, who has a really strange problem – although some people say it’s not a problem, it’s an ability.

HOST: And what is this problem – or ability?TONY: Well, the thing is, it isn’t easy to

explain. It’s called synesthesia – and don’t worry, I’m not going to ask you to spell it! Basically, it’s when our senses get a little confused.

HOST: You’re right. I am a little confused!TONY: OK. For example, people with

synesthesia sometimes see colors when they hear different things – like words or music. When Stella listens to music, she sees silver and gold. The colors she sees depend on the type of music and the instruments.

REPORTER: And do you sell clothing?JANICE: We only sell T-shirts, but we carry

a lot of clothing accessories like scarves and socks. It’s best to just come in and discover all the things we have. The items change regularly, so teens should come back often to see what’s new.

REPORTER: I like the wide aisles with lots of room for shopping carts.

JANICE: Wide aisles make it easy for our shoppers to walk through the whole store. And we put our most popular brands at the back of the store – that’s another design trick to help our customers discover things they didn’t plan on buying.

REPORTER: It’s definitely a very colorful store!JANICE: Yes, we’ve tried to make the store

especially attractive to young people, who are visual shoppers. They shop with their eyes and buy what looks good to them.

REPORTER: OK, now for the most important question. Can teens afford to shop here?

JANICE: The prices are the best thing about our store. At High Five, $5.00 is the highest price of any item in the store. Plus we have a lot of sales and regularly give discounts.

REPORTER: Wow, teens and their parents will love this place. Thank you so much for your time!

JANICE: Well, I think everyone will like shopping here, but it will be most popular with teens who want to find fun, unusual items at low prices. Our store design encourages teens to spend time in the store. We play the latest pop music for them, and we fill our shelves with products they like and need.

REPORTER: Tell us about the kinds of products you sell here.

JANICE: We carry a variety of products. We have everything teens need for school and sports. But our most popular products are for electronics. We have accessories like cell phone cases and DJ headphones in bright colors.

REPORTER: And look at these colorful decorations!

JANICE: Our decorations are very popular. We have party supplies you won’t find in other stores. Where can you buy paper plates and cups with cool designs like these? We also have a lot of things to organize a teen’s room, like baskets in many different shapes and colors.

Page 80, Exercises 4a and 4bAlong the coast of Northern Ireland there is an incredible rock formation. Enormous rocks, 12 meters high, look like a road from the beach out into the North Atlantic sea. Many tourists come to see this strange rock formation.How did these strange rocks form? They were formed because of volcanic activity about 50 to 60 million years ago. But long ago, people didn’t know that. Instead, they told a legend of two giants.One was an Irish giant named Finn MacCool.He lived on the coast of Northern Ireland, across the sea from another giant, Benandonner, the giant of Scotland.Legend says that Benandonner challenged Finn MacCool to a fight.“Finn MacCool! Step one foot in Scotland and we’ll see who’s stronger,” shouted Benandonner.“We’ll just see about that!” Finn shouted back.So Finn built a road across the sea with giant rocks.And he ran across the North Atlantic sea.When he got close to Scotland, Finn MacCool saw Benandonner standing on the beach. He was enormous. Finn MacCool was scared. He hadn’t realized the Scottish giant was so big.So, Finn began to run back to Ireland.Benandonner saw him. “Stand and fight like a man!” he shouted, and he ran after Finn.Finn ran and ran and ran all the way back to his home in Ireland.“Una! Una! Open the door!” shouted Finn to his wife, Una. “Benandonner’s coming. Quick! Hide me somewhere.”His wife, Una, wrapped him up and pretended he was her baby. Soon, Benandonner arrived.“Finn MacCool, stand and fight like a …”Una opened the door. “Finn’s not here …… but you woke the baby.”

Fashion Week is held twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, and most important people in the fashion industry go to the shows in Paris, London, or New York. But São Paolo Fashion Week is quickly gaining a reputation as the place to find out about the hottest trends. Can you tell us about your impressions of São Paulo Fashion Week?

REPORTER: Yes, I’m a reporter here for a fashion website and … It’s crazy! … I mean, there’s just so much going on … but, y’know, it’s absolutely fantastic. There’re so many new ideas. In this show, we saw a new take on the maxi skirt. I think ankle length is definitely gonna be the new look for the fall, and then ankle boots, they’re awesome for summer or winter – they’re so wearable with any outfit. And there’s a new trend in men’s fashion – they’re mixing checked shirts with striped pants. It sounds strange, but somehow it just works!

RADIO HOST: Thank you. One recent development in the world of fashion is teenage fashion. Several designers have fashion shows just for teenage designs, and there are fashion stores that specialize in teenage fashion. But what do teenagers think about this? Do you watch the fashion shows to find out what to wear?

TEEN GIRL: No, not really! I mean, I love fashion, so I read the fashion blogs and all that stuff, and it’s really interesting, but I’d say that most teenagers … well, they’re usually more worried about what everyone else is wearin’, and they’re also developin’ their own sense of style, so … like … I buy stuff in the trendy stores, but I mix it with the things I already have and kind of make up my own look.

KEVIN: OK, I’ve folded the paper and drawn a line three centimeters from the edge. What now?

SHELLY: When you’ve done that, cut strips from the folded edge to the line that we just drew. Cut a lot of strips.

KEVIN: Got it.SHELLY: Now unfold the paper, roll the paper

into a tube shape, and tape the sides together.

KEVIN: That’s the lantern! Now we need the handle.

SHELLY: That’s right. Finally, attach the strip of paper we saved to both sides.

KEVIN: Neat! Let’s do another one.

DAVE: So how are we going to find information about a famous celebrity?

LEILA: We’ll look up the name on the internet.

DAVE: Yeah, but which sites are we gonna use?

LEILA: Let’s type in the name and see what comes up first.

DAVE: OK, so that first one’s a celebrity magazine – I think that’s gonna have all the latest information.

LEILA: Yes, but will it be accurate?DAVE: Hmm, I don’t know. How about looking

for articles in the newspaper as well?LEILA: That’s a good idea. We can look at

entertainment magazines too.DAVE: OK, so let’s make a list of things we

need to find out.LEILA: Oh, wait a minute, look what I just

SHELLY: OK, so let’s make these paper lanterns for the party.

KEVIN: I have some colored paper here.SHELLY: Good, and I have scissors, some

tape, and some colored pencils. All right, so let’s see … um, so first you need to decorate the paper with some patterns.

KEVIN: OK, I think I’ll make circles.SHELLY: Here, use some of these pencils.

Next you need to cut a strip of paper off the side. Save it for later because we have to make the handle.

KEVIN: All right, I’ve got the paper for the handle. Now, let’s make the main body of the lantern.

SHELLY: OK. Next, fold the paper in half … like this … and draw a line three centimeters from the edge.

SOFIA: Can you imagine being under the straw and hearing all those bees coming toward you? I can imagine feeling the straw on my skin and thinking it was a bee.

ALAN: I see what you mean. But I thought the wolves were scarier. I could feel their big teeth on my skin.

SOFIA: I know! I don’t want to think about it too much. It gives me goose bumps.

ALAN: What do you think the Winged Monkeys are?

SOFIA: They seem like flying monkeys with magical powers.

ALAN: I wonder how Dorothy and her friends can protect themselves from the Witch’s magic.

SOFIA: I don’t know. Let’s read the next chapter and find out.

ALAN: OK. Good idea.

Track 52


SOFIA: So what did you think of The Call of the Wild?

ALAN: I … liked it.SOFIA: You don’t sound very sure. Come on,

Alan. You can be honest with me.ALAN: Well … I liked it because it’s an

adventure story. But it’s hard to read about so many really difficult struggles for survival in that environment.

SOFIA: I know what you mean. Those poor dogs had to work so hard. Both the dogs and the people had to be smart to survive.

ALAN: Yeah, and not too many of them were. Plus, I can’t imagine going on such a difficult journey to try to get rich.

SOFIA: But it doesn’t matter why they were there. The story still feels relevant to me. Life in any new environment is challenging and frustrating. I could identify with all the characters – people and dogs.

ALAN: Really? I thought you wouldn’t like the setting – all that cold and ice.

SOFIA: But that’s the whole point of books. You can discover new worlds and different people, and in this case, animals.

ALAN: Yes, that’s true. I like stories that are about places I’ve never been to. Don’t get me wrong. I didn’t hate it. I think I need more time to get into the story.

SOFIA: Well, I want to know what happens next. So give me back my copy.

Part 4TEEN GIRL: No, not really! I mean, I love

fashion, so I read the fashion blogs and all that stuff, and it’s really interesting, but I’d say that most teenagers … well, they’re usually more worried about what everyone else is wearin’, and they’re also developin’ their own sense of style, so … like … I buy stuff in the trendy stores, but I mix it with the things I already have and kind of make up my own look.
