1 Look at the titles below.

a A history of chat rooms

b Are chat rooms safe places for children?

c Why do people like chat rooms?

Now skim the text and choose the best title

You only have one minute

It can help you to understand a text if youread it quickly first to get an idea of whatthe text is about

Chat rooms have become very popular with teenagers, who use them to ‘meet’ people from all over the world Chat rooms were first invented by the US army, who used them to help soldiers stay in touch with their families Since then they have spread to the general public and become an internet phenomenon However, the popularity of these rooms with teenagers has raised a number of concerns

First of all, some children are using chat rooms to bully other kids by sending them unpleasant messages Some bullies impersonate other children online and cause trouble for their victims that way.

But the biggest cause for concern is that children have been harassed by adults as a result of their use of chat rooms There are many websites which recount frightening stories of children and teenagers who have been lured into danger through chat rooms So great has the problem become that in 2003 and 2005 the British Government issued warnings to children who use chat rooms, and guidelines to people setting up these rooms.

The BBC also provides a chat guide for children and teenagers,

as do other independent sites Most of the advice is very similar.

If you are a chat room user, you should be very careful who you trust with information online One way to ensure this is by making sure that you stay in control of what you make public in a chat room Never give away personal information like addresses and appearance – keep your identity secret In safe chat rooms there should be easily accessible ‘ignore buttons’, which allow you to block messages from individuals Use these buttons, and if they’re not available, don’t use the chat room Only stay in public chat rooms, don’t go into private one-on-one rooms Only use rooms that are moderated, so that a responsible adult is monitoring what happens You should also be able to contact the moderator easily so you can report bad behaviour if necessary.

And finally, never meet someone from a chat room face to face without an adult to accompany you – remember that online

‘friends’ are actually strangers.

Above all, parents and their children need to be aware that, although chat rooms can be great fun if used sensibly, they also need to be used with care.

Strategy 2: Using key words

2 Read the summaries of paragraph 4

1 Chat rooms are harmless fun

2 There is lots of good advice for chat roomusers and providers This advice should befollowed

3 Most people are irresponsible when they usechat rooms

Now read paragraph 4 and choose the bestsummary Which key words showed you thecorrect answer?

Strategy 3: Noticing phrases

3 Match the two parts of the sentences

1 But the biggest cause for concern is

2 Children have been harassed by adults

3 The BBC also provides a chat guide forchildren and teenagers,

4 Only use rooms that are moderated

5 Although chat rooms can be great fun if usedsensibly,

a that children have been harassed by adults as

a result of their use of chat rooms

b as do other independent sites

c they also need to be used with care

d so that a responsible adult is monitoring whathappens

e as a result of their use of chat rooms

Now find the sentences in the text and checkyour answers

A text usually has key words that can helpyou understand it These are usually verbsand nouns

Often the key parts of a text are phrasesrather than words It can help you understand

a text if you can notice these phrases

1 It may not occur to students to use theirknowledge of a topic when reading about it

in a foreign language So, before reading,encourage them to think about everythingthey already know about the reading topic

In class, students can share their knowledge

in order to help each other

2 Students may ignore visuals in their eagerness toread the text It is worth pointing out to studentsthat pictures are carefully chosen to illustrate thearticle they accompany So, time spent looking atthe pictures will help them to understand the textitself In class, students can describe the pictures

to each other in order to raise the general level ofknowledge about a topic In this exercise

1 Students read the texts about sports in the UKand Spain They answer the question about whichsports the four speakers like best The purpose ofthese texts is to provide students with a model tohelp them speak about their own favourite sportsduring the class survey in exercise 2 Encourage aclass discussion about whether students agreewith the speakers Have the students seen orplayed the sports mentioned: rugby, netball,handball and gymnastics?

2 Students stand up and ask ten students thequestions Encourage the students to say asmuch as possible about each sport

3 Finish by assembling the results from eachperson and building up statistics for the wholeclass What is the class’s favourite sport? Whichsport do they like the least?

ANSWER KEY

Past Simple (three from): took, had,explained, gave, showed, got, started, took off,released, was, were, taught, landed, cameover, looked, told, wanted, laughed, saidPast Continuous (three from): was taking (us up), was flying, were gliding, was beatingPast Perfect: had always wanted, had landed,had felt

4 Students complete the paragraph by choosingbetween the Past Perfect and the Past

3 In the exam students may rush into a text feeling

that they have no time to waste However, usingwhat they know about the topic to predictcontent can greatly help them to understand itbetter, so a little time spent thinking about whatthey expect to meet in a text is valuable

Suggest students write down some words theythink might appear in the text as a way ofpractising and developing this exam strategy

an adventure as well as a holiday.

Climbing Mount Everest used to be page news, but now Everest itself has become a hot tourist destination.

Another way to experience the world’s greatest places is to go trekking The Inca city of Machu Picchu used to be visited only by locals and archaeologists, but now

thousands of tourists are flying to Peru to walk the Inca Trail and gape in amazement at the lost city’s temples, fields and ruins

If cold weather is your thing, you can travel to Alaska and learn how to dog sled with huskies! Experienced drivers will show you what to do and will even teach you some husky, for example ‘Hike’, which means ‘Get moving!’

Even getting to Okavango is an adventure You can travel there by ‘air taxi’ or road But driving is discouraged unless you are an experienced 4 x 4 driver because of the difficult terrain This is not a trip for the faint-hearted!

how numbers and capital letters stand out in a text

can be a very useful strategy In addition, students

need to be aware that time spent reading the task

carefully is just as important as time spent reading

the text itself

There are three phrases that may cause problemsfor the students in this text:

many students just didn’t take to the idea (lines 14): take to means become interested in, so thisphrase means that the idea did not become popularamong students

13-young Czechs simply weren’t as well off as 13-youngGermans (lines 25-26): to be well off means to have

a lot of money, to be prosperous revenue (line 32): this is the money a business receives

2 Students sometimes pay much more attention tothe text than the task, which can result in themreading inefficiently and wasting valuable time.Ask students to look at the task before the text

so they know what they are reading for

The InterRail ticket is a special train ticket that you can use

to travel by rail all over Europe It is especially popular with school leavers on a gap year and university students.

Young people have been ‘interrailing’ for over 40 years.

InterRail started in 1972 on the 50 th anniversary of the International Railway Union The idea behind the tickets was that they would bring together young people from all over the continent and promote cheap travel The tickets gave their holders unlimited travel on the railway systems of participating countries for a whole month.

However, the tickets were not a great success at first.

Some thought the tickets were too expensive and many students just didn’t take to the idea But they gradually caught on, especially in northern Europe In the 1970s only about 10,000 people ‘interrailed’, but by 1992 there

were 360,000 people who had used the tickets Most

‘interrailers’ come from Germany, followed by Great Britain, the Benelux countries and Sweden.

The price of the ticket has changed over the years.

Originally there was one fare for all travellers, but this caused problems since the tickets were too expensive for young people from some European countries, especially after many of the eastern European countries joined the scheme in the 1990s Young Czechs simply weren’t as well off as young Germans.

Another problem was that lots of ‘interrailers’ went to the same countries Spain and Italy tended to receive more visitors than Hungary, for example So, in 1993 the system was changed so that the countries with the most popular destinations received more of the ticket revenue than others.

1 When confronted by a new word, it can be usefulfor students to start by deciding what part ofspeech it is This may be indicated by suffixes.Students have encountered noun suffixes onpage 32 of the Student’s Book

2 Once students have decided what part ofspeech a word is, they can use the context inwhich the word is used to help them guess themeaning Students need to be encouraged tolook at sentences and phrases that occur beforeand after the word itself as it is these sentencesand phrases which will establish context

salesperson and firefighter are written as one

word, whereas the other answers are two

words Students need to be aware of this

aspect of spelling when learning new words

of a confusing part of learning English Studentsthen exchange numbers without looking at theirpartner’s paper, and complete the right-handcolumn of their table with their partner’snumbers Finally, they compare their answers

Tune in to Culture (page 27)

This Tune in to Culture page, Mathematical terms

This is an important area to study in English as

many of the numerical conventions used in Spain

are not the same in the English-speaking world

Students begin with two activities aimed at

practising numbers, commas and decimal points

Then they proceed to practising numbers of their

own choice in pairs After that, students revise

ordinal numbers as well as the way dates are used

in the USA and the UK

4 Tell students that in the UK dates are readday/month/year In the US the dates are readmonth/day/year Write a few dates on the boardand have students practise saying the dates

Remind students that they need to use ordinalnumbers when reading dates It may be useful toreview the ordinal numbers 1-10, 20 and 30 onthe board:

Note that the answer is given month + day as inthe USA It may be necessary to warn studentsabout this before they start

Holidays in space

– a thing of the future? Not at

all Space Adventures has

been sending tourists into orbit for some time now The

company, based in Virginia, USA, has established a partnership with the official Russian space programme and is using cutting-edge Russian space technology and facilities at Star City outside Moscow.

The Russians for their part are using this space tourism

to subsidise the costs of their space exploration It’s early days yet, but so far the partnership is working well.

Space travel is not yet an option for most holiday makers.

But just imagine for a moment that money is no object, what do Space Adventures have to offer?

The only genuine space holiday

on offer so far is Space Adventures’ trip to the International Space Station.

Sounds fun? There are a few drawbacks First and foremost,

the $20 million airfare – only

people like software billionaire Charles Simonyi have shelled out for tickets so far

Then there’s the six-month training programme Space tourists are not exactly

passengers on these trips They have to train alongside professional astronauts and learn how to use incredibly advanced technology, as well as how to work hard in a weightless environment There are regular medical screenings to check that the space tourist is physically capable of making the journey.

Much of this training takes the form of arduous simulations so the tourists gain experience of the space environment These simulations include underwater space walks in the hydrolab – an enormous water tank These trips are anything but relaxing.

in films and cartoons, that the sleepwalker walks around with his hands out and eyes closed In fact ‘sleepwalking’ can mean many things In Steven’s case I learnt that he sometimes walked out of his room, down the stairs and then went back to bed More often though he used to jump out of bed, and then shout something.

By the time his parents arrived to see what was wrong, he was fast asleep again.

The parents had very different ideas about what was causing the problem His mother said that it was just a phase he was going through She had read that lots of children sleepwalk,

but they stop doing it in later life The father thought that Steven wasn’t getting enough exercise during the day, as he spent most of his time watching TV and playing computer games This was making him sleepwalk at night Both of these explanations were interesting, but I wasn’t entirely sure that they explained the situation.

It was only when I spoke to Steven carefully, that I learnt a possible solution Steven had recently started a new school year with a different teacher He told me that he had been finding the lessons very challenging Often sleepwalking can

be caused by stress and so there was a possible connection here I suggested to his parents that they sit down as a family to talk through his worries at school Hopefully, they could find a way to help him with his concerns about his new class It was not clear whether this would be a certain solution to the problem, but I felt that it was worth a try as a first attempt.

Tune in to Reading

Steven’s sleepwalking

Strategy 1: Inferring meaning

1 Read the text and find the sentences which tell us the following information

1 The writer thinks the public have a false idea of sleepwalking

2 The mother thinks the sleepwalking is not a major problem

3 The writer doesn’t agree with the parents’ sleepwalking explanations

4 The writer says he is not one hundred percent sure that the sleepwalking is caused by stress

5 The writer thinks his solution might not work, but that there are other ideas that they can try

To infer meaning from the text, identify which sentences contain the relevant information

Strategy 2: Inferring meaning from other words

2 Match the words in bold with the definitions Then find the words in 1-7 in the text Do they have

the same meaning?

1 People often think terrific means very bad In fact it means excellent

2 Normally I can solve this problem But in this case I couldn’t do anything

3 They thought it was just a small protest, nothing to worry about

4 I didn’t entirely understand the explanation It was confusing

5 We couldn’t sleep over in his house, so we slept in a hotel

6 He spoke with a very strange accent and it wasn’t clear where he came from

7 I didn’t know whether he was asleep or not

Strategy 3: Looking at paragraphs

When you read a text, try to infer meaning from all the surrounding words

3 Look at the words in bold in the second paragraph How does the doctor show he disagrees with

the information that he is providing?

Grammar (Gr)

Should rock music be labelled as to violence and bad language?

Many parents thinks that music CDs should be labelled if they contain offensive language and incitation to violent behaviour 1For that reason / On the one hand, some parents’ organisations have been formed to encourage the use of

labels on CDs with suggestive song lyrics 2In my opinion / However, many people see no need for this and they consider

it censorship There are good arguments for and against this opinion?

3On the one hand / On the other hand, many people think it is not aceptable to listen to songs with violent lyrics They

argue that people hear language about violence and 4as a result / however they commit violent acts 5Consequently / However labels can help parents prevent their children from listening to music with these violent messages.

6On the one hand / On the other hand, many people think that changing the cover of a CD without the musicians’

permission is a form of censorship In addition, the labels are not necessary because teenagers are enough old to decide for themselves which CDs they want to buy and why.

7In my opinion / However, rock music should not be labelled as to violence and bad language 8What is more / On the other hand, no one should put no labels on music at all Parents should trust their teenagers to buy what they think is

good music and not be concerned about the words.
