need to press your feet down quite fi rmly and extend your 10 elbow/spine and neck However,

you shouldn’t keep your 11 chest/limbs rigid, you

need to relax into the rhythm really As you get better, you can do more complicated things For example, you can lift one 12 foot/torso up while

Just a craze … or crazy?

When an estimated one in sixty participants will die,

why would anyone want to base jump?

Th e world record for base jumping was recently broken

again, when Nasr Al Niyadi and his trainer Omar Al Hegelan

jumped 672 metres from the 160th fl oor of the world’s

tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai Th ey were not the

fi rst ones to attempt this In 2008, two other men illegally

jumped from the building before it had even been fi nished

Having got into the building dressed as engineers, they were

arrested shortly after their jump Th is is not unusual for base

jumpers though, who often act without permission

For those who may not know, base jumping is an

increasingly popular extreme sport which involves jumping

off high buildings, bridges or cliff s with a parachute It

is unbelievably dangerous While a sky diver may have

up to three minutes to open his or her parachute, a base

jumper has only seconds Th ere is also the risk of hitting

the building or cliff on the way down Since its invention

in 1981 there have been at least 147 fatalities related to

the sport Even fans of the sport estimate that one in sixty

participants will die Brave, or simply foolhardy?

I fi nd it hard to understand the popularity of such

hazardous sports Many psychologists believe that it is

all a question of individual personality Men are more

likely to enjoy thrill seeking than women, and our desire

to experience these sensations is highest in the late teens

and early twenties But some people are naturally drawn to

enjoy thrills and danger, while others are not Both types

are important in any society, as low-sensation seekers will

happily carry out relatively unexciting jobs, while

high-sensation seekers will work very well as fi re fi ghters or on

the stock market

Taking unnecessary risks really doesn’t

appeal to me

You would never catch me doing a

parachute jump

I sometimes like to take a few risks.

I love the feeling of going really fast.

I prefer to swim in a pool rather than in

a deep lake or sea

I’d never want to go base jumping.

I quite fancy the idea of walking on a

tightrope

I doubt if I’d enjoy surfi ng.

I often wish I could fl y a plane.

I fi nd roller coasters really exhilarating.

exercise 2 again and decide what the words in

bold refer to, as in the example

1 While a sky diver may have up to three

minutes to open his/her parachute, a base

jumper has only seconds (What does a base jumper only have seconds to do?)

2 Men are more likely to enjoy thrill seeking

than women ( What verb is ‘missing’ here?)

3 Some people are naturally drawn to enjoy

thrills and danger, while others are not (What

is ‘missing’ here?) Both types ( of what? ) are

important in any society

9 a Rewrite the statements to remove the repetition using suitable reference devices from exercises 6–8

1 High-sensation seekers can be the kind of

people who do well in business as well as the kind of people who enjoy extreme sports

Society needs this kind of people

2 People enjoy extreme sports because these

days ordinary life is a bit too dull and safe

Because of the fact that ordinary life is a bit too dull and safe , people need to get their thrills elsewhere

3 Enjoying extreme sports is a sign of immaturity

The fact that it is a sign of immaturity is why enjoying extreme sports is something people grow out of as people get older

4 When Nasr Al Niyadi and Omar Al Hegelan

jumped off the Burj Khalifa, they were watched

by a fascinated audience I wish I had been at the Burj Khalifa to see Nasr Al Niyadi and Omar

Al Hegelan jump off the Burj Khalifa

5 High-sensation seekers are at one end of

the scale, while low-sensation seekers are at the other end of the scale Most people fall in the middle of the scale Most people like new experiences but don’t want to take too many risks

Chart B

Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make

comparisons where relevant.

The chart shows how many people in different age groups took part in a sporting

or physical activity at least once in a four-week period, and how this changed

between 2002 and 2011

Generally speaking, the younger age groups participated in sporting or physical activities much

more than the older age groups Around eighty percent of those aged between 16 and 19 took

part in some activity, compared with less than twenty percent of those aged 70 plus

Overall, for most age groups there was not a very noticeable increase in activity levels over

the nine years Participation by most of the age groups climbed between 2002 and 2006 but

this had dropped back down by 2011

A striking point is that for the 60 to 69 age group activity levels rose steadily over the

period and there was quite a signifi cant increase for the other two older age groups between

2002 and 2006, though this fell a little in 2011

In contrast, the youngest age group were the only group participating less in 2011 than

they did in 2000, despite a brief rise in 2006

Jess: It’s 1 because of these posters

It seems like the prices might go up

Pablo: Oh no How 2 is it that they’ll

go up?

Jess: I’m not sure

Pablo: 3 they just want to increase

membership numbers for the sports club or the gym

Jess: That 4 possibly be the case The

sports centre is always busy Although, it’s

5 that fewer people are going to the gym

Pablo: I had to wait ages to use the machines last

week So, it’s 6 because they want to raise money for new equipment That’s the most likely explanation If more people go, then they won’t have to put up the prices

Jess: Putting up the prices will really discourage

people

Pablo: Yeah, I’m 7 certain people

wouldn’t come as often Actually, the poster

Giving opinions

□ J As I see it, a sports centre should try to

promote healthy eating habits

□ In my opinion, this vending machine

should sell some healthy drinks and snacks

□ Everyone’s entitled to a point of view!

Some people prefer chocolate

Defending your opinion

□ Well, I still believe that they should have

some fruit, too

□ I hear what you’re saying, but not

everyone’s interested in healthy eating

□ It doesn’t matter what you say, I think the

vending machine should have more choice

□ I agree up to a point, but fruit doesn’t stay

fresh for long

□ That may well be so, but most people

want things that give you instant energy

□ I’m not so sure

□ I don’t really agree.

b In pairs, use the Phrases2know to give and defend your

opinion about the following ideas

1 People shouldn’t do dangerous sports

2 Schools should off er more sports

3 Extreme sports are much more fun than ordinary sports

4 Team sports are better than individual sports

5 Young people should do sport at school

In pairs, look at the website and give and

defend your opinions Add your own ideas

Student A: You think it’s a great idea – it helps

young people to develop and become more independent

Student B: You think it’s a terrible idea – it’s too dangerous

and it’s irresponsible of parents to encourage this

Can you imagine kayaking across the Channel – alone?

Or climbing the world’s highest mountains?

Th ese are tough challenges but we believe young people

can do these and other similar challenges – not just adults!

1 My brother, Steve, is twenty-one and a

full-time student at university, just about to start

his third year I am seventeen and studying

for my A levels I have a part-time job as well

5 and, although my parents obviously provide

me with somewhere to live and all my food,

I am glad to say that otherwise I'm financially independent My

brother, however, not only has his student accommodation paid

for by my parents but expects them to pay for everything else,

1 0 including spending money He comes home during the holidays

and spends most of his time watching television or going out with

friends He doesn't lift a finger

Mum and Dad say they prefer to give him the money rather than

see him get into debt but isn't that his responsibility? It doesn't

15 seem fair and I can't help wondering if he plans to come back

home when he's finished his degree and carry on lazing around and

sponging off Mum and Dad Cathy, Exeter

Your comments:

Newbie1 03/07

I can' t help thinking that whatever arrangement you r brother has made with your parents is their business, not 35 yours I hate to say it but maybe it's you who needs to develop a bit more maturity?

Superhero 03/07

It looks to me as if Steve is taking advantage of your parents' good nature He definitely needs to start taking 40 responsibility for himself , for his sake as much as for your parents' They say they don't want him to get into debt but at twenty-one that's surely up to him? Why is it that boys always expect their parents to run round after them? I think your brother needs to learn to stand on his 4 5 own two feet Are your parents going to bail him out for the rest of his life?

Just me 02/07

Your brother is very lucky to have such supportive parents and I don't think there's anything wrong with 50

wh t they ' re dOing However, I also think by not working

a all he's missing out on the opportunity to g e t some work experience, make new friends and learn new skills,

as well as the satisfaction of supporting himself

Problem 3:

Although I am

eighteen, I still have

to share a room with

my sister, who's

fourteen

We used to get on OK

but now we are constantly arguing She is really untidy

and she is always poking her nose into my stuff I don't

feel like I have any privacy at all

The house is quite small but we do have a spare room

I have asked if I can have this room but Mum wants to

keep it as a guest room She doesn't seem to understand

how much sharing with my sister is upsetting me I can't

go on like this much longer

My parents are really over-protective

I am seventeen and all my fri ends are pre tty much allowed

to do whatever they want My parents wo n 't let me stay out past 11.00 p.m and I always have to tell them where I'm going

I know it's because they care about

me but it's driving

me mad They're treating me like a kid and it makes me look stupid in fro m

of my friends

Speakin ocabulary

1 In pairs or small groups, discuss the questions

• When you are planning a trip

how do you find out about a destination?

Word o mouth, guidebooks, magazines,

online information?

do you read reviews of places to stay, eat or

visit? Online or in a guidebook?

• How do you think new technology can help a

traveller? Think about

2 Read the article and compare it with your ideas

3 a Look at the list of possible disadvantages to using a

smartphone or similar device to get around on holiday Which

ones do you agree and which do you disagree with? Why?

• Using these devices takes all the fun out of just wandering

around

• It stops you interacting with real live people you might

otherwise meet

• It could be dangerous - you might get mugged

• Your phone bill will end up costing as much as your holiday!

b Can you think of any other advantages or disadvantages?

4 a •• (1.25) Check the phrases in blue in the text

Then match them with the definitions

1 short holidays in urban locations Clft-; bret?tl:.$

2 accidentally found something/somewhere amazing

3 not well known and far away from the places that people

usually visit

4 get your energy back

24

5 expensive places visited by many tourists

6 somewhere which is both expensive and in terrible condition

7 paying much more than something is really worth

8 go somewhere different to have a restful holiday

b Tell your partner about a trip you made using some of the

we travel forever Or are they?

The new approach to travelling probably began with TripAdvisor, a web site with almost exclusively user-generated content giving reviews of

accommodation, restaurants and tourist attractions A few years ago, I always used TripAdvisor before I planned any kind of trip It seemed a good way to avoid getting ripped off by an over-priced dump of a hotel, and sometime.s

I even stumbled upon a hidden gem, lIke the unique Chapito, in Lisbon, a circus school which has the most stunning views over the city as well as a great restaurant

I still use TripAdvisor but now there are simply too many reviews, often

completely conflicting More worryingly, some hotels are said to bribe guests

so that they will write a favourable review on the site Blogs can be a better source of information since they tend to

be written by local people so they can help you avoid the tourist traps

at fellow Twitter users On a recent visit to

Paris I got around the city just using

helpful tweets from the locals and

managed to see a lot more than just the

Eiffel Tower, too!

But perhaps the best technological

development yet is the growth of

location-based apps These apps, such as

Foursquare, can automatically display tips

on restaurants and tourist attractions

nearby, because they always know where

y u are I like the way this allows you to

wander off the beaten track while your

phone acts as your local tour guide

However, while I think that mobile

technology is amazing, it really works best

for bustling city breaks You can find out

all about the culture around you or get

recommendations for hip clubs and bars

If you wanted to travel to a remote,

unspoilt desert island to get away from it

all, however, you'd probably find that your

phone didn't have a signal and, if it did,

the cost would be astronomical But then,

if you were looking to just rest and

Well yesterday was the big day, leaving Sydney and

crossing the start line I was off to sail around the

world!

Monday, 26 October, 2009

T e comfortable routine I had been getting very used

to fell apart today with the wind picking up to 25

knots The sea has been making life I wouldn't say

ucomfortable, but certainly different to some of the

q iet days we've ha

Saturday, 23 January, 2010

My quite sunny conditions ended with a bit of a

b ng, Ella's Pink Lady and I have been having a

very interesting time out here The wind had been

expected to rise to a near gale, but none of the

computers or forecasts picked that it would reach

he 65 knots that I recorded, before losing the wind

Instruments in a knockdown!

After having cleared up the worst of it and despite

finally managing some good sleep, I still feel like

a giant marshmallow Physically, I have a lovely

collection of bruises! Mentally, I feel like I've aged a

g od 10 years, but I'm back to normal now and in

g od spirits as we approach the half way mark

Saturday, 22 May, 2010

What a week! Time has flown, but at the same time

it feels like I've been away from Ella's Pink Lady and

back on land for years Maybe it just feels like that

because so much has happened

Coming up to the finish line, the excitement was

really building Stepping into the arms of my family

was what I'd been dreaming about for so long but at

the same time, letting go of Ella's Pink Lady was so

h rd

Since then, I've had a chance to catch up with

everyone and do all those things I'd been longing to

do for so long My first hot bath was heaven! Eating

fresh food was out of this world, but best of all was

just looking at everyone's faces

I've slowly been sleeping better, waking up less and

managed a good sleep-in this morning Thanks to

everyone who sent me a card, gift or letter really

a preciate them, but more than anything, I love

earing about other people's dreams and how my

oyage has shown them that ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!

January 1937

Clouds of war are gathering over a fogbound

London Twenty-eight-year-old Jack is poor, lonely

and desperate to change his life So when he's

offered the chance to be the wireless operator on

an Arctic expedition, he jumps at it

Spirits are high as the ship leaves Norway: five

men and eig t huskies, crossing the Barents Sea by

the light of the midnight sun At last they reach the

remote, uninhabited bay where they will camp for

the next year Gruhuken

But the Arctic summer is brief l s night returns to

claim the land, Jack feels a creeping unease One

by one, his companions are forced to leave

Soon he will see the last of the sun as the polar

night engulfs the camp in months of darkness

Soon he will reach the point of no return - when

the sea will freeze, making escape impossible

And Gruhuk en is not u i nhabit e d

Jack is not alone Something walks th e r e in the dark

The black bones of the mountains jutted

through the snow On the shore, the whale ribs glinted with frost and the rocks sloping down to the sea were white and smooth The water was dark purple, vivid and strange

1 'So that's that,' Gus said quietly

Four months without the sun It doesn't seem real

In the doghouse, the dogs began to howl

'They feel it too,' said Gus

r forced a smile 'Gus, r think they're just hW1gry.·

His mouth twisted 'Well they'll have to wait a few hours

Are you coming in?'

'In a bit.' I still had time before I was due to transmit the

readings I didn't want to lose any of that crimson glow

Listening to the diminishing crunch of Gus' boots, I

watched it fade behind the cliffs, like embers growing cold

The moon wasn't up yet but there was still enough light to see

by No wind The dogs had stopped howling

Out of nowhere, for no reason, I was afraid Not merely

apprehensive This was deep, pounding, visceral dread My

skin prickled My heart thudded in my throat My senses were

stretched taut My body knew before I did that I was not alone

Thirty yards away on the rock, something moved

I tried to cry out My tongue stuck to the roof of my mouth

=-: It crouched at the edge of the rocks It was strean1ing wet

It had just hauled itself from the sea And yet the stillness was

absolute No sound of droplets pattering on snow No creak of

waterproofs as it rose Slowly Awkwardly

I knew at once that it wasn't some trapper from a nearby

camp or a polar mirage, or 'a trick of the light' I knew what it

was I knew, with some ancient part of me, that it wasn't alive

Behind me the cabin door creaked open Yellow light

spilled on the snow

'Jack?' called Gus 'It's nearly twelve thirty The

Cl.32)

As I came out of the railway station it was raining

heavily and the wind was blowing hard The sky was

glowing a dark bronze, lit up by the streetlamps, and all

5 around me people were rushing to get home, huddled

under umbrellas or half hidden by their hoods and hats

It was my first visit to London and I had stupidly arrived

there at rush hour Keen to start seeing something

of the city, I hailed a cab and asked to be taken to

10 Leicester Square 'What square?' grunted the taxi

driver 'Lee-kester,' I replied, pronouncing it carefully

'Oh,' he laughed, 'You mean Lester Square The

pronunciation is a bit strange, I suppose.'

We drove off slowly through the rush-hour traffic By

1 5 now the sun was setting, like a big scarlet ball behind

the black silhouettes of the London skyline I looked out

of the window, hoping to catch a glimpse of some of the

famous sights Big Ben, perhaps, or Buckingham Palace

'First time in London, is it?' asked the taxi driver,

2 0 chattily I nodded, catching his eye in the mirror 'Nice

day tomorrow, they say' he added helpfully

'That'll be good,' I said 'I was thinking of going to

Greenwich '

This time the taxi driver laughed so hard that I began to

25 worry we would have an accident

'Green witch!' he snorted, 'That's a good one! Do you

mean Grenitch?'

Oh dear, would I ever master the English language? I

decided that, for the rest of my stay in London, I would

lines are:

1 an introduction or background (Who? Where? When?)

2 the main sequence of events

3 the key event or turning point (may be unexpected, funny,

strange, etc.)

4 the conclusion

b Choose the correct tense to answer the questions about

the story

1 Which tense is most often used to give descriptions?

Past simple or past continuous?

2 Which tense is most used to give the main events of the

story? Past simple or past perfect?

3 Which tense is used to talk about something which

happened before the main events of the story?

Past continuous or past perfect?

4 Which two structures are used to talk about the future?

Would, was going to , w ill?

LANGUAGE Read Language4writing and find examples of

adverbs of manner, place and time in the story

We use adverbs to add extra description to the verbs in a story

They can, for example, describe how someone does something

or where or when something happens

There are three usual positions for adverbs

1 At the end of a clause - this is the most common position for

adverbs of manner, place and time

I'm sure I left it here

2 In a middle position, next to the main verb - adverbs of

manner can go in this position

He quickly ran over to the desk and hid the papers in a drawer

3 At the beginning of a clause - adverbs of place and time can

go in this position, especially to add emphasis

Outside it was cold

If all three types of adverb are used in the same clause, the

order is usually manner, place, time

t stupidly left it here yesterday

2 The car drove away fas y

3 He asked me if rudely I was going

6 I need to finish by the end of the

week this homework

Professor Adrian North, who led the study, said,

'What this research really tries to get at is why music

is such an important part of people's identity People

often define their sense of identity through their

musical taste, wearing particular clothes, going to

certain pubs and using certain types of slang It's not

so surprising thaf personality should also be related

to musical preference:

Professor North also suggested that the results

explain why so many people bond over music and

also why some of us are very protective about the

music we listen to, since it is likely to be profoundly

linked to the person we are

.-\ccording to Professor North, both heavy metal

and classical fans are united by a shared 'love of the

andiose; which means that a Metallica fan is far

more lik ~ ly to listen to Mahler than an indie kid is to

give Ijeggae a try

.-\side from their age difference, they're basically the

ame kind of person; he said 'Lots of heavy metal

fans will tell you that they also like Wagmir, because

it's big, loud and brash There's also a sense of theatre

in both heavy rock and classical music, ang I suspect

j}at this is what they're really looking to experience

~' hn Gregson, 23, a classically-tratpectmusician
