Előszó Nagybátyámnak és első angoltanáromnak, Matékovits Zoltánnak, aki örökül hagyta rám az angol nyelv és kultúra szeretetét.

Kedves Nyelvtanuló! Kedves Nyelvtanár! Először is gratulálok, hogy a közös munka során idáig eljutottak: érettségire készülés előtt állnak. Ez a könyv ehhez a munkához szeretne segítséget nyújtani. Célunk az volt, hogy áttekinthető, könnyen használható, az érettségire teljes körű felkészítést nyújtó könyvet adjunk a kezükbe. A tankönyv és a munkafüzet szerves egységet alkotnak, és 15 integrált fejezetben (Unit) összegzik és szükség szerint kiegészítik a megszerzett tudást, felölelik az érettségi témaköröket, és minden feladattípust bőségesen gyakoroltatnak. A fejezetek nem épülnek szorosan egymásra, ezért kihagyhatóak és felcserélhetőek. Minden tematikus fejezet 4 altémára (Section) oszlik. Minden altémát 2-2 tankönyvi oldalban dolgozunk fel olyan, témára fókuszált feladatsorokban, amelyek tanórai lépéssoroknak is megfelelnek. A fejezetek altémáihoz egy-egy munkafüzeti egység tartozik, amely otthoni feldolgozásra is alkalmas. Ezek a munkafüzeti oldalak a témához tartozó íráskészséget fejlesztő feladatokat, illetve olyan szókincs- és nyelvtani gyakorlatokat tartalmaznak, amelyek közül sok az érettségi Use of English feladatai alapján készült. Minden fejezetet a munkafüzetben található Skills Practice rész zár, amely egy teljes, de a témában maradó érettségi feladatsort tartalmaz hallás utáni és olvasott szövegértési, írás- és beszédgyakorlatokkal. A könyvhöz és a munkafüzethez is tartozik audio-CD-melléklet, melyek szövegátiratát a munkafüzet tartalmazza. A munkafüzetben megtalálható a munkafüzeti feladatok kulcsa is. Célunk volt, hogy a könyv egyszerre legyen hasznos és élvezhető. ƒƒ Törekedtünk arra, hogy alkalmat teremtsünk a már meglévő tudás, tapasztalat és készség előhívására. ƒƒ Sok feladat épül fotóra, rajzra. Sok esetben a kitöltött rajzos feladat képes szótárként működik. ƒƒ Nagy mennyiségben tartalmaz a könyv beszédmintákat, ahol a megszólaló a nyelvtanulóhoz korban közel áll, így beszédstílusa minta lehet a nyelvtanuló számára. ƒƒ Bőséges hangzó anyagot is készítettünk. Ezekben az anyagokban is a fiatal szereplők, és a fiatalokra jellemző élethelyzetek dominálnak. ƒƒ A témáknak megfelelően különböző beszélt és írott szövegtípusokat kínálunk. ƒƒ Társalgási feladatokkal, szerepjátékokkal, társasjátékokkal igyekeztünk alkalmat teremteni a még több beszédre. ƒƒ A feladatokban olyan ismereteket, készségeket helyeztünk előtérbe, amelyek nemcsak a vizsgán, hanem a való életben is hasznosak. ƒƒ Szövegben és képileg is törekedtünk a vidám hangulat megteremtésére. Bár tudom, hogy a tankönyveket nem szokták kedvenc könyvként emlegetni, azért remélem, hogy sok hasznos órát és talán néhány kellemes percet is eltöltenek majd ezzel a könyvvel. Sok sikert kívánok: Fehér Judit Jelmagyarázat: = érettségi típusú feladat

Read what two secondary school students say about their future. Do they have similar plans?

Morgan Bailey, 17 “I have always wante d to be a lawyer an d work in pol iti cs. Peo ple respec t lawyer s an d they can make good mo ney, too.

 What are the similarities and differences in the two plans?  What advice would you give these students?  How are these plans similar to or different from your own plans? You may want to use some of these structures:    

Morgan / Jenny is more / less … Both / Neither of them seem to … I think Morgan / Jenny should … I’m more like Morgan / Jenny, because … / I’m halfway between the two of them, because ...  It is more / less important for me to …  My plan is to … / I would like to … / I will definitely …

When I took them back to the shop, the assistan t said tha t she couldn’t change them because I had worn them i n rai n. Of course I wore them i n rai n si nce they are w i n ter boots! c) …I bought a PicsXP DVD player in your Bristol shop two weeks ago. We could never get it to work. I took it back to the shop, where it did not work either. I was informed that they could have it repaired or replace it only if I had the warranty with me. Unfortunately I cannot find the warranty. However, I have the receipt, which clearly shows when and where I bought it. …

b) …I bought your MB08 model mobile phone on a special offer two months ago. I bought it with a subscription for three years. It seemed to be a good bargain for only £ 20. Unfortunately, it doesn’ t send text messages any more and in the shop they said to me that they could only replace it with the same model. However, I do not trust this model any more and I’ d like it to be replaced by the MB09 at the same reduced price I bought MB08 for. Since the low price was offered in return for a three-year subscription, I think this is a fair request…

d) …I’d like to make a complaint regarding your Brick Street shop, where I am a

regular customer. I’ve noticed that in this shop they routinely mix goods past their sell-by dates with ones which are not. This has tricked me many times, and I only realised the food was off when I opened the package and could see and smell it…

1 …I’m afraid I can only repeat what was said to you in the shop. Without the warranty, we can neither have it repaired, nor have it replaced... 2 ...The customer information on the label clearly states that they are not waterproof, and are meant to be worn in cold, dry weather. I’m sorry to say that since you have not followed the care instructions, we are unable to replace them…..

The Museum of Science & Industry, based in one of the world’s oldest railway stations, offers a great collection of old machinery as well as the most modern interactive computer displays and simulations. Fun doesn’t stop in Manchester when the sun goes down as there are numerous bars, restaurants and night clubs as well as theatres and cinemas. The city has two Premier League football clubs, Manchester United and Manchester City. It is the third most visited city in the UK. More than 90 airlines fly into Manchester Airport.

The only drawback is that it can get very touristy in the skiing season. In clear weather you can see mountains in the distance. The vegetation is really rich because of the hot, wet climate. Then there are the green oases where corn and fruits are grown. Spring is lovely here, too with fresh grass and wild flowers. It’s quiet and relaxed here, but never boring. There’s no such thing as silence there. There are sand dunes and a big round starry sky at night. With the rain, the soil often became a sea of red mud. I really like the cold, fresh weather here. Generally it’s dry, but when it rains it can rain heavily and streets get flooded. The landscape is rather flat and we don’t have trees.

Subjects loved, subjects hated

A Look at sentences 1-13. Which subjects are talked about? 1 “I’m dead! We had to do 50 push-ups, 50 sit-ups and run 10 laps around the school.” 2 “I enjoy learning about exotic countries more than anything else. We’ve just watched a documentary on the Amazon Jungle. Awesome!” ....................................................... 3 “My voice is breaking so I don’t need to sing any more, but I still need to listen to those operas and symphonies. Not my cup of tea, really!” ............................................. 4 “I quite liked solving equations, but we are doing geometry now and I find it hard. I’m really hopeless at using the compasses.” .................................................................... 5 “I’m not keen on compulsory reading, but this year I have enjoyed some of the 20th century novels. Some poems are OK, but there are some I just cannot make any sense of.” 6 “We are designing our myspace websites right now and I’m uploading some videos. I really enjoy doing it. Also, I usually get really good marks in it.” ................................. 7 “I have to do a reading exercise for homework. I don’t understand the text, because it’s full of words I don’t know. I’ll have to spend half of my afternoon looking up words in a dictionary.” ........................................................................................................ 8 “When we were smaller, it was a lot of fun, because we had lots of animals in the classroom. Now it’s hard, because we learn about different organs like the heart or the lungs. I’m quite bad at it, I’m afraid.” ......................................................................... 9 “I didn’t use to like it as I’m not good at drawing or painting. But this year I just love it! We look at lots of great paintings and sculptures and we discuss styles.” 10 “I had to take a test today. I‘m afraid it won’t be very good. I’m not very good at remembering dates of events and names of people and places.” ..................................... 11 “The best part is when we do experiments. My favourite is when we get a test tube of some material and we need to find out what it is.” .................................................... 12 “It’s so boring! Objects and subjects and nouns and verbs … Why do I need this? My spelling is OK, and it’s the only useful thing for me in this subject.” ............................. 13 “Our new topic is electricity. As we use it every day I guess it will be useful to know a bit more about it.” ..............................................................................................................

B Underline expressions in 1-13 that helped you to guess the subjects. What expressions show people’s feelings and opinions? Circle them.

4

Discuss what you like and what you don’t like about the subjects you learn. Use some of these expressions:

My favourite / least favoured subject is … because … In … lessons we often / rarely / never…, which I love / don’t really like / can’t stand. I find our … lessons exciting / boring, because … It is very important for me to know a lot about … because …

Make your ideal timetable. Think of new subjects, number of lessons etc. Use some of this language:    

We could have more / fewer / no lessons in ... Most people would be happy to have lessons in ... / if we had ... It would be useful / fun / interesting if we had ... Would (not) it be better if we had ...?

The place was huge with dozens of tables and it was horribly short-staffed. I was carrying very heavy trays and had to be on my feet non-stop except for the few quick trips to the bathroom. The floor was extremely slippery when wet, and there was nothing like sliding on it while trying to carry a table’s worth of food. And of course there was always someone complaining about something and I still had to keep smiling and be extra polite and helpful all the time. It was by far the most physically and mentally demanding job I’ve ever had. It’s a very common job and I suspect most people have no idea just how difficult it is.

Section 1 1 Section

Read what a first year university student says in a blog about his typical week. Do you think he has an easy routine? Why (not)?

Generally, I get up at 7 o'clock in the morning Monday to Thursday. After daydreaming for a year that I wouldn't have an early class, this was quite a blow. However, I have somehow been able to manage. After my early Spanish class at 8, I have an hour break before my history class. In this break, I go to the library to work on homework. My history class ends at 11 o'clock, which is my last class on Mondays and Wednesdays. I usually go to lunch on campus with some friends or just make a sandwich in my room. I am extremely tired by the time I get done with lunch so I usually take an hour’s nap after my meal. After this from about 1, I must admit that I waste a lot of my time, thinking about homework but finding myself surfing the net instead. Twice a week, at about 3, I go to the gym to work out for an hour or so, and then continue studying. Tuesdays and Thursdays I go back to class at 5 pm and get out at 7 pm. These are my Communications classes. I have got into the habit of going to dinner with my classmates straight after the lectures on these days. Other days, I just have a quick snack in my dorm. After dinner, I spend the night hanging out with friends. Most of the time this includes movies, TV shows, or just talking. Once in a while I go downtown, but usually not on school nights. So ... there is my typical week. It’s a much more relaxed and flexible schedule than the one I used to have at secondary school and I definitely like it.

possessions and therefore moves around completely naked. Normally, he gets up before sunrise to carry out his daily routine. After washing his hands and feet (a monk is not allowed to take a bath), he comes back to his chamber where he studies texts and sits in meditation. After this, he goes to a nearby temple. He does not eat every day, but sometimes he goes out for food. A Digambara monk eats from his hands while standing up. He must eat standing up because if a monk cannot stand anymore because of old age or illness, his body is to be thrown away. In this case the monk stops eating completely and dies. A monk eats vegetarian food only. After having eaten, he goes back to the temple. Then he preaches to people who gather to listen to his teaching. Monks usually spend the night in a windowless cell near the temples. In summer they sleep on the floor, in winter on a flat wooden board, covered with straw only. In case they feel cold they help themselves with yoga practices, which warm up the body. (Adapted from http://www.angelfire.com)

Read the text about how housework is shared in Mandy Mandy’ss family. Who does what?

“In my family all four of us do some of the usual chores. Like my Mum does the cooking most of the time because she is the best cook out of all of us and she enjoys cooking anyway. My Dad and my brother do most of the shopping, but they need a shopping list from my Mum or they just forget about basic things like bread or milk. I help Mum with the cooking and I also do quite a lot of cleaning. We all do some cleaning anyway. My brother and I are responsible for our own rooms. So if it’s in a mess, it will stay in a mess, Mum and Dad won’ t come to put things away or empty the bin. I like it this way because they never quarrel with us about our rooms; it’s totally up to us what we do with them. We change our own bed linen, too. Dad is a super fast dishwasher, so often by the time we finish eating, he has done the washing up. But we all do it at times. Loading the washing machine and hanging out the washing is something we all do too, but ironing is a problem. I usually need to ask Mum to iron my things because my ironing is rubbish. But at least I try!”

B Compare and contrast Mandy’s family to yours yours. Include the following points:  The chores the people have in your family and Mandy’s family. How is housework shared in your family? What are the chores you need to do? Which of them do you prefer?  What about tidying you own room? Who does it? Are your parents happy with the tidiness of your room?  How would you like to share housework with your future wife / husband?

“England isn’t famous for its cuisine, I’m m afraid. afraid One reason may be that we don’t use too many spices. However, there are a lot of things I like about English food. First of all Sunday dinners, which traditionally include roast potatoes, roast meat such as beef, lamb, or chicken and some vegetables. I quite like fish and chips, too, if it’s not very greasy. A lot of people think that breakfast is the best English meal. It is a big cooked meal with eggs, bacon, sausages, baked beans, fried sliced bread, possibly fried potatoes, tomatoes and mushrooms, all accompanied by toast, orange juice and tea or coffee. I personally think that the best thing in England is the desserts. My favourite English dessert is a big slice of freshly baked, hot fruit pie with vanilla ice cream or custard on top. Custard is a sweet English sauce. Yummy!”

Tania Robby “I would like to become a fashion designer, so I spend most of my free time drawing, studying fashion books and magazines and watching fashion programmes. I also often make clothes myself. I design them, I find the right materials, and then cut and sew them. This is what freaks people out completely. A boy sewing! Not to mention that I also knit occasionally. My girlfriend loves this, though, as I make most of her clothes, too.”

“There are two equally important things for me in my free time: sports and people. I support Manchester United and I watch all their matches. Some people think I’m a tomboy because football is my favourite sport. I also play it in a girls’ team. Although football is my first choice, I love other sports, too. I watch all the major sports events and do some cycling and weight training every week. I try to spend as much time as possible with my friends. I go out with them or we visit each other. I spend one or two hours every day chatting with friends on the Internet. The best thing I can imagine is playing or watching g sports p with ffriends. Heaven!”

Nick “I spend most of my time in front of the computer. I love searching the Internet, but the most important thing for me is to make programmes. I’m developing a game right now. I also make music using the computer. Some of my friends play hip-hop and I make beats for them. A lot of people think it’s a lonely place in front of the computer, but it isn’ t! I’m in contact with a lot of people through emails, Skype and blogging, and a lot of people come to me if they have a problem with their computers. I also volunteer in an old people’s home. I teach people there how to use the computer.”

What is it like? Who are the main characters? What is the short summary of the story? Who is it recommended to?

“My favourite book is Stone Cold written by Robert Swindells. It’s an exciting murder story. You just can’t put it down. It takes place in London, in our time. The main character is called Link, who is a 16-year-old boy. Most of the story is told by him. He leaves home to get away from his bullying stepfather and he finds himself on the streets. The other narrator of the story is a bitter ex-soldier who calls himself ‘Shelter’. He blames the homeless for his problems and the problems of England. He is really sick and he believes that he ‘saves his country’ by killing homeless people. As the two are telling their sides of the story, they get closer and closer to each other and you are just so worried that Link will be his next victim! But I’m not telling you if he is, as you may want to read it. Link has two friends in the street, Ginger, who teaches him how to survive in the cold and hard city, and Gail who is a beautiful girl, and Link falls in love with her. She has an important role in solving the murder mystery. I recommend this book to everyone who enjoys reading an exciting story and who would like to know more about the difficulties people living on the streets need to face.”

Read the article about computer addiction. What are the danger signs?

The Signs of Computer Addiction Time If you spend more than two hours on the computer a day and there are no other activities that you can enjoy and do regularly, then it is likely that you are missing outt on other parts of life. The time of day when you are on the computer also matters. If you easily and often swap a good night’s sleep for a night on your computer, you’d d better watch out. Purpose If you can clearly describe why you are using the computer at any given time, you are safe. However, if it is not quite clear or not easy for you to say, you may be addicted or you may be afraid of living your life away from the machine. Friends Have you got friends in real life or have you got only online friends ? Do you think you follow proper Internet safety methods or do you tell these new friends everything about yourself? If you find that online friendships dominate your life and that you give too much personal information to people whom you don’t really know, you’d better limit your use straight away.

1 Night of the Museums A Read the text and answer these questions. 1 2 3 4 5

What do museums do during this night? On what day is it celebrated in Hungary? Can you list some extra activities organized by museums? Are the programmes free of charge? What do these numbers refer to: 1996; 2,000; 200,000; 42?

T

he Night of the Museums is a cultural event organized by thousands of museums throughout Europe. During this night most museums remain open late into the night. The idea is to help make museums and galleries more interesting and attractive for people. The first Museum Night took place in Berlin in 1996 and since then 42 countries and 2,000 museums have joined it all over Europe. Hungary also takes part in the event and the Night of the Museums has become one of the most popular summer festivals. Last year nearly 140 Hungarian museums participated all around the country. The programmes attracted more than 200,000 people.

On 24 June, Hungarian museums open their doors from 6 pm to 2 in the morning to share their collections with as many visitors as possible. Most museums present special programmes too, including guided exhibition tours, theatre performances, fi lm screenings, concerts, dance, reading and tasting sessions, handicraft fairs, and much more. For example, in the Museum of Fine Arts of Budapest you could listen and dance to the music of a Cuban group, or in the Museum of Agriculture there was a wine tasting programme. One cheap ticket allows you to visit as many museums as you wish, take part in all the activities and make unlimited use of a free shuttle bus to get from one museum to another.

B Heree are some Budapest museums that took part in last year’s Museum Night. Match them with their permanent exhibitions.

Partly agreeing

Museums are dull and outdated. They should be transformed into shopping centres. Modern art is ridiculous. It doesn’t mean anything. European films are much better than Hollywood films. Action movies are terrible. They are aggressive and violent. Antonio Banderas is the best actor in the world. The theatre is more intelligent than TV or the cinema. Electronic music is a lot more popular with young people than hard rock. Musicals are sugary and artificial. Shakespeare is the greatest playwright of all times. Museums should be free all the time.

Conversation questions  Are you a theatre-goer? Why (not)? Think of a theatre performance you saw. What did you think of it (plot, direction, cast etc)? Have you ever tried acting?

Sue “How do I get to school? Well, I need to get on a suburban train first, as I live in a suburb and my school is in the centre of the city. It takes about half an hour on the train. But before that I have already walked about a quarter of an hour to get to the station from my home. So that’s three quarters of an hour already and I’m not even there yet! I need to change two more times. First for a tram, the 15, and travel for another 10 minutes and then for a trolley for one more stop. The trolley stops in front of my school. So all included, walking, waiting, changing, it all takes about an hour and a quarter. Sometimes, because of bad weather or a traffic problem, it can take as long as one and a half hours!”

B Tell each other how you get to school school. Include the following points:

How long does it take? What type(s) of transport do you take? How long does it take you to walk to the stop/station? How many times and where do you need to change? How many stops do you travel on each vehicle?

Conversation questions  Describe the traffic in your district. How heavy is it? What public transport is there?  Which transport vehicle do you prefer to use and why?  Do you have a season ticket (e.g. a monthly bus pass for students)? What is the advantage of a monthly travel pass?  Which parts of the day are the rush hours in the city / town where you live? Have you ever got stuck in a long traffic jam? When? Where? How long did it take you to get out of it? Have you ever missed anything because of a traffic jam? What causes traffic jams? How could they be avoided?  Imagine life without motor vehicles. What would life be like? Would you prefer it to the life we have now? Why (not?)

Riding and driving

Section 3 3 Section

3 Riding or driving? Read what three people say about their riding and driving habits and answer the questions: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Who can drive? Who is concerned about the environment? Who made a lot of friends through the vehicle they often use? Who is a university student? Who has special clothing for travelling on their vehicle? Who is prepared to take other people on their vehicle? Who says that they take care when they ride/drive their vehicle? Who complains about their parents? Who says that they like working on their vehicle? Who complains of not having enough oxygen?

Kevin “I lear nt to drive when I was 17, but I haven’ t driven much as I don’ t have a car and my father doe sn’ t e like if I take his. I don’ t like to driv er, Mom or Dad in the car eith because they keep telling me what I do wrong. My father gets angry h and my mom upset. So it’s not muc e ther but ing, fun. I quit e like cycl are very few cycle pat hs where I live unfortunatel y.”

James “I enjoy riding a mo torb ike more than anythin g else . Peo ple say it’s dan gerous , but I’ve never had an acciden t as I’m always very careful. Most peo ple only like riding a mo torb ike if the wea ther is good, but I’m prepared for cold or rain y wea ther, too. I have leather gear and overalls . I always have an extra helm et on me in case som eon e ask s me to give them a lift. I also pick up hitc hhiker s. I met a lot of my friends and my gir lfri end too thro ugh my mo torb ike .”

Shirley “I think it would be much better if people used a bike for commuting to work or school. It’s much healthier, cheaper and better for the environment. Whenever and wherever possible I take my bike. I mostly cycle on campus. There are bicycle paths and bicycle racks everywhere on campus, so it’s really easy. Once someone stole my bike, though, so I never leave it unlocked any more. Apart from riding my bike, I quite enjoy repairing and upgrading it. The only thing I don’ t like is that if I have to go to the city centre, I need to wear a face mask as there are no bicycle lanes there and I need to ride in heavy traffic.”

Conversation questions  Can you drive? If yes: When did you learn to drive? Was it easy to pass the driving test? How long is your licence valid for? If not: Would you like to learn to drive? Would it be difficult to pass the driving test, do you think? Do you think driving tests should be stricter? Why (not)?  Have you got a car? Would you like to have a car one day? Why (not)?

I need a holiday where I don’t sit around much, like walking in the country or climbing mountains.” 2 Annie: “My dream holiday would be on a large and comfortable ship probably on the Mediterranean. You dock in many different places and spend the day there.” 3 Judy: “My ideal holiday has to be connected to water. I really enjoy being active too, so not just sitting on deck but rowing, or working the locks or the sails.” 4 Dan: “I like extreme sports, so I want a holiday with challenges like white-water rafting, diving or walking in the jungle.” 5 Simon: “I decided to take my parents somewhere nice this summer, so it has to be safe and comfortable. It’s important for them to know exactly what will happen each day in advance.” 6 Joseph: “I love art and architecture, so on my holiday I’d like to see many beautiful old buildings and cool modern ones as well as museums and art galleries. ” 7 Amie: “Actually, I’m easy to please. Just give me the sea, and I’m satisfied. I love everything about the sea: walking along the shore, sunbathing on a beach, swimming in lukewarm or ice-cold water, sail, scuba dive, surf, watch a storm. You name it. ” 8 Aaron: “I’ve always lived in a city. I often wonder what it would be like to stay in a cottage on a farm. Feeding animals, doing some horse riding, eating real fresh vegetables and fruits you pick yourself. Or even milking a cow and trying real milk for once! ”

C Write five questions you would ask someone to find out what kind of holiday they would fancy: Would you prefer a comfortable or a challenging holiday?

The Grand Canal 4

St. Mark’s Cathedral

The Bridge of Sighs

The Bell Tower (Campanile di San Marco)

St. Mark’s Square

a) It is one of the few urban places in Europe where you don’t hear the noise of motorized traffic, since transport is limited to waterways. As the symbol and gathering place for Venice, it is usually full of tourists. However, some say that pigeons outnumber the tourists. Certainly there are plenty of both there. b) It was constructed in 1600 to connect the inquisitor’s rooms in the Doge’s Palace with the prisons. Its name refers to the sighs of prisoners who were led through it to be executed. c) It is the most famous of the city’s churches. It was built to house the bones of St. Mark, the patron saint of the city. Its construction started in the 9th century. It’s a unique example of Byzantine architecture. Entrance is free, though it’s polite to leave a donation. d) It is the main waterway in Venice. It is about 4 km long, with a width that varies from 30 to 70 meters. Its banks are lined with beautiful palaces. Public transport is provided by water buses and water taxis. You can have a wonderful and cheap sightseeing tour by taking one of the buses. e) It has stood for more than a thousand years – or for about a century, depending on how you see it. The present-day structure was built in 1912 as an exact replica of the original, which collapsed unexpectedly one morning in 1902. It is almost 100 meters tall and the view from the top is magnificent. (Adapted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venice and http://europeforvisitors.com)

Listen to three extracts and say where Annie and Bruce are in Venice. What helped you identify the places?

5 Be the guide! Choose a tourist attraction in Hungary that you know well. Imagine that you have taken a friend from England there. What would you say to them about the place? Work with a partner and take turns to role-play the situation. Don’t tell your partner what place you have chosen. Can they guess where it is? WB Unit 14, Section 3

Science in everyday life

A How important is science in everyday life? Read what people think about this and answer these questions.  What is their opinion?  What reasons do they give to support their opinion? 1 “Science is for scientis ts and universities. In everyda y life, I need to think about practical things like: how can I pay my bills, what shall we eat for dinner, where shall we go at the weekend. Sometimes I watch documentaries and some are interest ing, but I don’ t have time for scientif ic problems. I need to live my life.”

“I suppose it depend s on the scienc e itself. Some are more practical than others. For example, medicine is very practical or engin eering. We all take medicine at times or see a doctor for advice . We all use machines daily that were constr ucted by engin eers. But some scienc es are very abstract like mathe matics , lingui stics or philoso phy. These have little use in everyday life.” 2

3 “Mo dern life is not pos sible without the sciences . Nearly ever ything we do is somehow related to science. Your washing powder, elec tric razo r, the insulation of your window s, you name it. Big decisions abo ut a country’s future, agr icul ture , industry, education syst em, med ical serv ice, etc. are all based on some scientif ic opinion.”

SUMMER JOBS FRUIT-PICKING IN DENMARK Each summer, in June and July, Denmark’s farmers take on hundreds of jordbærplukkers. That’s strawberry pickers, to you and me. If you like the thought of working outdoors and living with people from all over Europe, and if you think you can resist eating everything you pick, jordbærplukking could be for you. You’ll most likely live in a tent on a campsite or farmer’s field, with cooking, bathing and toilet facilities on hand. Accommodation is often free (check before you commit yourself). It’s piecework, which means you’re paid by the kilo, not by the hour. You can expect to start early in the morning and to work for six or seven days a week. It’s tiring, physical work and you’re usually expected to carry on plucking if it rains. Still interested? If so, now’s the time to apply. You would like to do this job and would like Student A to go with you. Prepare to persuade him / her. Use these ideas or your own.  Why the job would be interesting  The advantages of being in Denmark in the country  How this would be a valuable and useful experience.
