~ Gentlemen's Clubs of London

d~te from the 18th century These are

rather exclusive clubs which are like

'second homes' for many members

sports clubs/teams sports team supporters club

a political party school societies

I'm joking, of course Weare all topprofessional people - pol icians,

lawyers, even an ex-Prime Minister

Although more and more marketing

people are joining these days.Kay And what do you alldo?

Parke Well, people usually come here to play

bridge or enjoy the food Others comehere to relax LikeSir James o er

there I usually only come here onFriday evenings

Kay And Tuesday lu chtmes?

Parkes y u seem terrified!

Parkes But, but, you do 't understand, the

thing isyou're Kay Ajournalist? Even journalists join

e You seem terrified

f Even journalists join clubs

Present Simple and Present Continuous

We use the Present Simple:

1 to talk about habits and routines.0

2 to talk about facts and generalisations. 0

3 with state verbs (believe, belong, know , like, prefer,

remember, see, seem, want, understand) when we

describe what is happening now.0

NOT you are Seemiflf:Jterrified.

We use the Present Continuous:

4 to talk about actions happening now. 0

5 to talk about temporary situations.0

6 to talk about changes. 0

Mind the trap!

Adverbs of frequency normally come before the main

verb with Simple tenses.

They usually have long hair.

I occasionally argue with my parents.

They come after the verb to beand other auxiliary

verbs (do , does, have etc).

He is often late for school.

She doesn't usually phone during the day.

Complete the sentences with the correct forms of the

verbs in brackets.

1The number of people who take part in

Internet discussion forums (grow)

2 She's got a part-time job for the summer

- she (work) as awaires

3 Myfriend Mark isin the Scouts

He (often/go) camping at the

weekend

4 I (never see) Hannah any more

these days

5 Most of the kids in my clas _

C 1.3 Listen and match speakers 1-3 with opinions a-e.

c Young people look for values and acceptance

from people the same age

CD1 3 Read the questions Then listen again and circle the correct answers.

1 JaneWebb is an expert o

a they look for new role models in their lives

b they ac ept the values of the adult world

c their parents and older brothers and sistersare against them

3 Mark Mondale believes that

a teenagers are the same as sixty years ago

b business makes alot of money from everynew fashion

c teenagers look for answers from peopletheir own age

4 Matt Hodges thinks that

a when young people become friends theystart listening to the same kind of music

b music is the reason that man peoplebecome friends

c young people have fu with one group ofpeople and look for help from another

5Both Dr Webb and Dr Mondale think that

a Matt's answer proves their theories

b young people can't think for themselves

c psychology doesn't give easy answers forhow teenagers behave

6 The radio programme is

a aphone-in

b a documentary

c a studio discussion

C01.4 Listen to the extracts Un e ine th words/

phrases the speak rs useto giv their opinion Circle

the phrases wh n they start to explain or justify the

opinion

It seems to me that i's all part of becoming

an adul The thing is, when young people

are in their te ns, they start to questio the

values and lifestyles of the adult world they

see around them

e As far as I'm concerned, becoming a Goth or

a skater has absolutely nothing to do with

looking for role models Look at young people

sixty years ago - they looked and behaved

like younger versions of their parents

Frankly, it's all about money If you think

about it, every new youth fashion makes

millions of dollars

o Personaly, I believe it's all about music

I'm into nu-metal my favourite band is

Jus t ifying opinions

Everybody knows that The reason why is

I mean

Mind the trap!

We only usefrankly (speaking) to give an opinionwhich we think is controversial or unpopular

Frankly , this lesson is a waste of time!

Personally , Ilove chocolate milkshakes!

Pet@rborough, in the east of

England Two noisy gangs

of young people are sitting inthe

c ntre of the square One group are

wearing tracksuits and baseball caps

and bran -new white trainers A lot

ofthem are wearing jewellery-like

gold chains and earrings They're'

the 'Chavs' Opposite them are the

'Goths' They're wearing black

Doctor Marten b ots, long black

coats and black T-shirts with the

names oftheir favourite bands o

them Some ofthem are wearing

lipstick and eyeliner and afew of

.them have piercings Nervous

shoppers hurry past them, trying not

to'make eye contact It seems to be

quiet but you feel that at an

moment afight could start The

p lice say these young people are

probably harmles - perhaps they

just hang around the square because

there's nothing better to do But

older people say they are tired of

putting up with the noise and litter

These kinds of problems certainly

aren't unique to Peterborough But

after trying several different methods,

Peterborough City Council has a

radical plan to change things

The council's controversial plan'

to bring peace to the ciy starts on

a Tuesday morning during the

halfterm holiday A group offourteen Chavs and Goths of both

sexes are travelling by bus to a

secret location in the countryside,

ten miles out of town There aremore Chavs than Goths - maybe it's

hard for some Goths to get up in themornings! When they finally arrive,supervisors ask them to put oncamouflage clothing And then thetwo gangs spend the rest of the

morning pretending toshoot at

each other.Don't worry - the guns are not real(they fire plastic balls filled with

paint) and it's all for fun But isn't it

dan erous to fight aggression with

aggression? Is agame of paintball

really the best way to bring young

people together? Steve Mayes, theorganiser of the event, feels that it is

Hethinks these controversial gamesgive the two groups something to do

and can start them talking 'It getsrid of alot of energy too - it's much

better than playing games onPlaystations and Xboxes he says

Meanwhile, the Chavs and Goths

are fooling around: there's a lot of

shouting and laughter and everyone

appears tobe having fun

At the end of the day Steve Mayesbelieves the event was a success

- the two groups arealready talking

to each other 'It's like football,'

says Denise, another organiser 'You

choose which team you belong to.But at the end ofthe day, Chavs andGoths are the same sort of people.'

Dan: 'I almost didn't come this morning but my friends persuaded

me There was a lot of aggression

to begin with but everyone calmed down in the end I bumped into an old friend from primary school who

I hadn't spoken to for ye rs but he seems just the same as ever - in fact

I got on with him really well The atmosphere in town is pro ably a lot better now.'

Writers often use speculatio wh n they don't know al

the facts To identify speculation:

1 Read the statement carefully and try to decide if it is

a definite fact or an impression/guess.

2 Look out for typical words or phrases which suggest

a statement is an impre sion/guess.

Words often used for speculatio

Modal verbs - could, might

Other verbs - s em , appear, look, think, feel, believ

Adverbs - possibly, pro a ly, maybe, perha s

Have you ever called up a friend and heard this: 'Sorry,

ITIJ

Ever since Bell patented the telephone in 1876,

we've been living in the age of instant

communication But there has always been a

restriction - you need to fin aphone And that

isn't always easy OK we've had car phones

since the 1950s But the first car pho es were

enormous The machinery filled the boot of the

car! More than a portable phone, i was amobile

phone box! One of the first users was a doctor

in Sweden Unfortunately, the ph ne needed so

much power that he could only make two calls

before the battery went dead The first to

his patient, and the second to the garage to get

someone to come and fixhisfiat battery

Bythe mid-1960s pho es were small en ugh to

fit into the front of a car, but unfortunately, they

were still too heavy for people to carry around

They were also extremely expensive So, it was

no surprise that they didn't become popular

[IT]

And then Mr Cooper made a call.On 3 April

1973, while walking along a street in New York,

Motorola employee Martin Cooper took out his

portable phone, dialled a number and made a

call to a rival phone company I don't know what

he said - perhaps, 'Nobody has ever done this

before!' - but I bet he felt pretty happy when he

hung up He knew that his company was ahead

of the competition

Times

ITIJNow - just over ten years later - the Dy aTAC8000X portable cellular phone has arrived in theshops, and this week I've been testng it.I mustsay I'm impressed The first thing you notice ishow small and light it is It weighs alttle lessthan a bag of sugar and is about the same size as

a brick - about twenty centimetres long It loo sreally smart, too And you can talk for almosthalf anhour without recharging the battery! Youcan alsoturn down the volume in case thephone goes offwhen you're in ameeting Thedisadvantage? The price It costs almost £3,000!But don't worry The price wi come down andsoon everyone will have one

[Q[]

And while I have my crystal ball out, here aresome more predictions about how we willcommunicate in the future Firstly, I thinkpeople will forget how to write because allcommunications will be oral And one daybeforetoo long we will have phones with 3D videoscreens which allow you to see your friends andwatch TV! More good news: phone calls will

be free - they'll be paid for by advertisin ! Andfinally, I believe that eventually humans in thefuture will have phones in our brains! With aspeaker in an ear, and a microphone ina tooth,

we will be able to dial numbers just by sayingthem

But until then, you could do worse than buyyourself a Motorola DynaTAC Becomemobile and say goodbye to those cold calls indirty phone boxes

Past Simple, Past Continuous and Past Perfect

We use the Past Simple :

• to describe finished actions.

• to tell the main events in a story in order.

I ran forward and pushed through the crowd.

We use the Past Continuous:

• to describe things which were in progress at a

specific time in the past.

It was 10 o'clock I was jogging.

• for temporary situations/ habits.

I was staying in Ohio.

• for longer actions interrupted by shorter ones.

I was running when I saw some people.

We use the Past Perfect:

to talk about an action that happened before another

action in the past.

They were doing it because they had stolen a statue.

Mind the trap!

We generally use the Past Simple, not the Past

Continuous , to talk about finished actions, even if

they lasted for a long time or were repeated.

They spent 45 days in jail NOT were spending

the girls went from house to house, and left a

dozen cookies at every home where the lights

were on When the teens knocked on Wania

Young's door, the 49-year-old woman called the

polic She was afraid because there were

suspicious people at her door They hadn't

were Later, Taylor ex lained that they hadn't

answered because they had wanted the gift to
