WORKBOOK 2 Herbert Puchtajeff Stranks & Peter Lewis-Jones

The authors would like to thank all those who have made contributions to the development, creation and production of Think. Many thanks to teachers in various countries for piloting the course and for their valuable feedback. Thanks too to their students, for their enthusiasm and for putting up with manuscripts rather than the attractive pages our designers have created in the meantime. The members of our digital team, Helen Kenyon, Amarjeet Purewal and Brendan Wightman for their expertise and creative thought. Thanks also to Chris Williams for his invaluable production support. We would like to thank the Cambridge English teams around the world for their continuous support. We would like to thank very warmly our editorial team: Rebecca Raynes, Dena Daniel, Peter McFarlane, Delia Kidd and Kathryn Davies for all the energy and care they have put into this project. Our special thanks go to Jo Burgess (Commissioning Editor), Katie La Storia and Claudia Fiocco (Publishers), Belinda Fenn (Publishing Manager) and James Dingle (Editorial Director) for their dedication to Think, the great spirit of collaboration and many excellent suggestions we got from them. We are indebted to the Cambridge University Press leadership: Frances Lowndes (Global Publishing Director Schools), for being involved so actively in the planning stages of the project despite her huge workload; John Tuttle and Neil Tomkins (Deputy Managing Directors); Michael Peluse (Managing Director); and Peter Philips (Chief Executive) for the constructive dialogue over the years. Last but not least, we would like to thank our partners Mares, Adriana and Claudia. W ithout their support this project would not have happened.

POSTED: TODAY

I knew something was wrong when I felt the pain. It was a wet and windy day. It was raining hard. I'd been playing football with some friends in our local park. They were still playing, but I was sitting on the floor, holding my ankle in pain. I looked down at it. It was already twice as big as usual and it was turning purple. I'd been running towards the goal when someone had kicked me from behind. I'd fallen down badly and not moved since.

1

One boy told me to get up. Nobody else seemed to notice me. They carried on playing around me. After about another ten minutes, they decided to stop playing and they all walked off the pitch. I couldn't believe it. I called out and finally two of them came back to talk to me. When I showed them my ankle, they were shocked. They helped carry me to a cafe in the park and they called an

ambulance. I was taken to hospital. As soon as the doctor saw my leg, he knew it was broken. I needed a small operation. While I was in hospital, my friends all came to visit me and say sorry. They also bought me a huge box of chocolates. I have forgiven them.

Exam guide: multiple-choice questions In this question you will read a text that focuses more on someone’s opinion than on facts and figures. To choose the right answer you need to understand the writer's attitudes, opinions and reason fo r w ritin g the text. The first question usually focuses on the reasons why the w rite r has w ritten the text and the final question usually looks at the meaning o f the te xt as a whole. The other three questions usually pick up on inform ation in the o rd e r that it is given in the passage. Read through the text quickly to understand what it is about. A fte r this reading, think about why you feel the w rite r w ro te this text. Read the text fo r a second time. This time, read it a lot more carefully. It's often a go od idea to look at questions 1 and 5 first since they need an understanding o f the w hole passage.

D He isn't enjoying it as much.

For questions 2, 3 and 4, find and concentrate on the parts o f the text tha t each question is asking a b ou t and

study them carefully. Remember: these questions might be asking you ab ou t the w rite r’s opinions and no t just

ab ou t facts.

W h y does Dan visit schools?

D to show that old pe op le can still d o things 5

W hat might Dan w rite in his autobiography? A

'In my later years, running became a really im p ortan t pa rt o f my life. It kept my b o d y and mind younger and helped me figh t against getting older.'

В 'W hen I was younger, I was a really com petitive runner, b u t as I g o t older, I was ju st happy to run and I d id n 't really care how fast I went.' . C 'I’ve always loved running. I've loved the way it's kept me healthy and I’ve loved the way it's bro ug ht me into contact with so many people.1

D ‘As I g o t older, running became more difficult. I tho ugh t about giving it up, b u t my d o c to r to ld me to keep going. I'm happy he d id and these days I love inspiring young pe op le to start running.'

Dan Collins: Half marathon enthusiast started running half marathons in the 1960s. I’m 78 now, I’ve been doing them for nearly fifty years and I still get the same excitement at the beginning of each race as I always have. I don't do as many as I did. I used to run around 30 every year and in my thirties I got quite good at them. I think my personal best was around 1 hour 17 minutes, which was only ten minutes over the world record back then. These days I do about ten a year and my time is quite a bit slower. At my age you need a lot more preparation and your body doesn’t recover as quickly, but it’s well worth all the extra work. There are two main reasons why I still run half marathons. Firstly, it means I’m keeping myself fit. My doctor told me that I’m healthier than most 50-year-olds. But I think the real reason why I love the sport so much is the other people it brings you into contact with. You meet other athletes and I've made many good friends over the years, but the most amazing thing is all the people who line up along the sides of the streets to cheer you on. I get more and more support the older I get. I also spend quite a lot of time visiting schools to get children interested in doing sport. I think it’s really important to get involved at an early age. It makes it so much easier to keep doing it the older you get. The kids are always really enthusiastic and they ask me loads of questions. Many of them can't believe that I’m the same age as their grandfathers. Sometimes I challenge them to a five-kilometre race. There aren’t many of them that can beat me!

Spending about 40 hours a week at work can be very tiring, but the workplace can be unhealthy in other ways, too. Sitting or standing for a long time can cause pain and other negative effects, and there can also be problems related to food. But some simple things can be done to make the workplace a healthier place. Here are some tips.

It’s important to pay attention to your posture (for example, the position of your back and shoulders) when you’re sitting down.

The day we visited a museum - in cyber space! A For the students in Class 4a of our school, the English lessons in the first week of this month w ere very different from w ha t w e normally do. We were pretty excited when M r Breen, our teacher, told us to choose a museum in a different country and 'visit' it (via the Internet, of course) together in groups. He also said that we should w rite an article for the school magazine about it.

В There were five of us in my group, and it w asn't easy to decide which museum w e wanted to go to. M r Breen encouraged us to make one suggestion each. We were surprised how easy it was. We had five suggestions, but everybody was very impressed w ith Thomas's idea. He w anted us to visit the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao in the north of Spain, and when he showed us the website, w e all knew it was 'our place'. >>

...........................

C The building was created by American architect Frank Gehry in 1997, and it's amazing. The website says it covers an area of 24,000 m2, of which 11,000 m2 are all exhibition space. It took us about tw o hours to visit the different parts of the website, and we all loved the photos of the building. The part we liked best was called Explore. It shows really attractive photos of sculptures and other pieces of art from the different exhibitions. When the project was finished, Mia, one girl from our group, summed up how w e all felt. She said that the project had been fascinating, but w ha t w e'd really like to do now is visit the Guggenheim in Bilbao!

When you write a news story, it's a good idea to use reported speech because it helps you to sum up the most important things that someone said, and you don’t need to write down everything they said word for word. In the text above, for example, the writer says this about Mia: She said that the project had been fascinating. This is most probably a summary Mia might have said much more here, but it isn’t important to say that word for word.

Help with reading: guessing the meaning o f words •

When you read a text, there will often be words that you haven't met before. If these words are important, and you can't use a dictionary (for example, because that would take too much time or because you're doing an exam and aren't allowed to use one), you’ll need to try to guess the meaning from the context.

•

Read the sentences and try to guess the meaning o f the underlined words. Then (circle) the correct option: A, BorC. 0

To start, it’s a good idea to decide what part of speech the word is. Look at the position in the sentence, and its ending. If, for example, it ends in -ed or -ing, it might be a verb or an adjective. If it ends in -s, it might be a plural noun (or a verb in the 3rd person singular, o f course).

human body. В make something deeper C become healthier 2

A a cupboard fo r books and small objects

When you know what part o f speech it is, look at other words around the unknown word. If it’s a noun, is there an article? If it's an adjective, is there a noun that goes with it? If it's a verb, is there an object? Look around in the same sentence or in the sentences around it. Are there any small words (but, so, however, and) that help you with the meaning? Take, for example, the sentence When he reached the mountain top, he was happy but exhausted. Imagine you don’t know what exhausted means, but you know it's an adjective. The word but suggests that it means something very different from happy. You know from the first part o f the sentence that he has just climbed a mountain, so a good guess would be that exhausted relates to that. You can probably guess that because it was a difficult climb, he was very happy, but very tired. Sometimes, the form o f the word itself can help you, too. For example, you know that impossible means 'not possible' (the prefix im - often makes the meaning o f an adjective negative). If you know this and you come across the word imperfect, you can easily guess what it means. When you've used the steps above and made a guess, read on to see if your guess seems correct. If not, and the word is really important, go back and do the steps again.
