Unit 5, Lesson 4, Ex. 3a

1.

James: Do you do anything about the house?

Patrick: Of course I do something. I make the beds and tidy up in my room.

James: And who does the washing up?

Patrick: Nobody. We’ve got a dishwasher.

2.

James: What jobs about the house do you do?

Kevin: In fact I do nothing. I’m too busy at school and with my hobbies.

James: You mean that no one helps your mum?

Kevin: Well, I’ve got three sisters so I don’t have to worry about anything.

James: Whoa! There’s nothing else to say then.

3.

James: Do you help your parents with housework?

Mary Ann: You mean, does anybody help me?! I have to do everything. I cook and lay the table and then I have to do the washing up. I tidy up and do the dusting and the washing and the ironing. Is there anything I forgot? Oh, yes! I look after my brothers and put them to bed at night.

James: Well you definitely need somebody to help you.

Mary Ann: I can’t say that nobody helps me. My brothers do help sometimes. We’ve got a deal. I help them with homework, they help me do something about the house, like start the washing machine or do the dishes.

James: Does your mum do anything?

Mary Ann: She tells everybody what work they must do and writes lists of things to do for me while she’s at work.

Unit 5, Lesson 5, Ex. 4b

There are lots of small creatures that live in our homes. Can you think of any? In search of something tasty ants, spiders and house flies find their ways to our flats and houses.

If humans or animals live in your house — you have dust mites – microscopic bugs. No special test is needed to check, it is a fact. Beds and carpets collect the most dust mite food, since they like it dark, warm and moist.

Watch your clothes. Because the clothes moth is watching it as well. Especially the natural items you do not wear often.

Any wood is food to a number of organisms. The furniture bug likes to make an endless system of tunnels as it eats its way through wood. Hard to imagine but books make lovely dinner for a bunch of insects like wood bugs or silverfish. Silverfish – small wingless insects are often found in houses in wet places like bathroom or kitchen.

Cockroaches are better at hiding than you are at finding them. But your home is an ideal place for most species of cockroaches. With plenty of food, warmth, water and nesting sites, they can remain active all year round.

Unit 5, Lesson 7, Ex. 3c

Girl: Never tell anyone you are home alone, even if your parents will be right back. Always say your parents are busy and can’t come to the phone right now. This is not a lie. Never give a stranger information over the phone. Tell them you will take a message and have your parents call them back when they are free. You should always answer the phone because it may be your parents calling to see that everything is all right.

Unit 5, Lesson 7, Ex. 3e

Boy: Do not answer the door to anybody if you are alone. If somebody tries to break into your house or flat call the police. Ask the policemen for a document before you open the door. Always keep the door locked even when you are not alone. If it is somebody you don’t know, let your parents open the door.

Unit 5, Lesson 8, Ex. 3a

Erin: I love my room. It has become my home to return to anytime I need comfort. I can toss my shoes onto the floor and lie back on my soft cloud of a bed.

Last summer I and my uncle painted it grey so it looks cool and fresh now. I don't have carpet after clothes moth was found in it. There’s a white desk set, bed, a dresser and mirror. White doors. A poster of my favourite modern artist on the wall, but it actually matches the colours in my room and adds colour (green and red).

Then there are my clothes; everywhere around my room. Ok, it looks messy because of all the junk that needs to be thrown away and all the other things I don’t use any more. I never throw things away. I even keep all my old school books. If I ever want to see what I learned in 3rd grade English class my notes are there, sitting in a dusty corner of my room.

The only day I invite my friends over is Saturday which is my cleaning day. Everything is neat and shiny after the hours of cleaning and dusting and all. Then Sunday comes and my mess is back. And I must say I love it, it’s who I am.

Unit 6

Unit 6, Lesson 1, Ex. 3

Tim: I love my food. In my fridge there is always some fruit and vegetables. I usually have a few eggs on toast for breakfast. I like fish, so I eat little meat. I can have some bacon, but not every day. Sometimes I have cereal with some yoghurt or a few sandwiches for lunch. For dinner I usually have soup and a little spaghetti. I eat few crisps or sweets, because they are not good for you. I just drink some milk before I go to bed at night. Oh! And Fish and Chips! They are my favourite I can eat them from morning till night.

Unit 6, Lesson 2, Ex. 1a

Fish and chips, yeah!

Fish and chips, yeah!

Makes me want to lick my lips

Eat them for breakfast, lunch and tea.

Fish and chips are for me.

Waiter: And for you?

Daughter: Fish and chips and a chocolate ice-cream, please.

Unit 6, Lesson 4, Ex. 2b

Junk foods are very unhealthy. They bring nothing good to your body but cause bad teeth, and heavy weight. When we say junk food we mean most sweets, crisps, biscuits, cola, lollipops, milk chocolate bars, etc. These foods seem very tasty but contain very few vitamins and lots of bad stuff like fat, salt and sugar.

“Fast food” literally just means food that takes little time to prepare. Today by fast food we mean food that is served in fast food restaurants like McDonalds or KFC: hamburgers, pizzas, hot dogs, potato chips. Eating them is also very unhealthy. A few pieces of lettuce or a tomato in a hamburger doesn’t make it healthier. Eating lots of fast food can lead to depression, heavy weight and bad mood.

But there is good news. Some of the burgers, sides, sandwiches, and even desserts aren't as bad for you as you might think. In fact, some are really healthy and light! So next time you eat out go for KFC Potato Salad, McDonald's reduced fat Vanilla Ice Cream or Pizza Hut Cherry Dessert Pizza.

Unit 6, Lesson 8 ex. 3a

Lilian May: If you really want to show mom and dad you can cook, there are a few simple steps to follow to make sure things go nicely.

1. Tell your mum that you want to cook something. It is a first thing to do before you start using the kitchen for cooking. You never know what plans your parents may have or your mum can think you are not old enough to cook alone!

2. Read the recipe through from beginning to end before you start. If there is anything in the recipe that you don’t understand, ask an older person for help.

3. Keep it clean. Wash your hands before you begin. It is also important to wash your hands every time you touch the dustbin or when you pick up anything off the floor.

4. Be organized before you start cooking. Have all of your ingredients in one place and equipment ready before you start cooking.

5. Follow the recipe. When you cook more it’s ok to change the ingredients or their amount, but for a beginner cook it’s very important to stick to the recipe.

6. Clean up. It is easier if you can clean up while you are cooking. Later, you'll see that this is easier than cooking in a mess!

7. Have a good time. Cooking is fun and when you learn some simple recipes you can start experimenting with different ingredients and come up with your own delicious meals.

Unit 6, Lesson 9, Ex. 2a

B.

- Would you like something to eat?

- Yes, please. I’d like some pizza and tomato juice.

- Help yourself. Juice is in the fridge.

C.

- Do you know how Margherita appeared.

- No. Do you?

- The queen Margherita once saw poor people eating bread with cheese and tomatoes in the street, and ask her cook to make the same pizza for her.

- Oh, interesting.

- And it’s white, red, and green. The colours of the Italian flag.

- Wow. You are so clever!

D.

- Is pizza what you like best?

E.

- All pizzas are great! Have you tried this one?

- Yes, it’s really tasty. Helen has brought it.

Part A

Librarian: Now, come here, Nick. These are your books for this school year. How many subjects do you have this year?

Nick: Ten, Mrs. Page.

Librarian: OK, let’s start. The green one is Maths – the book for mathematics. The thick blue one is Science. It’s about the world – the planets, the stars, about water and air, about animals and trees. This one is Geography.

Nick: Which one is Geography?

Librarian: The pink one. Do you like geography?

Nick: I don’t know yet. It’s a new subject.

Librarian: This yellow book is for your Handicraft lessons. You’ll learn how to make things by hand. It’s a very helpful book.

Nick: And which is that one?

Librarian: Which one?

Nick: The orange one.

Librarian: It’s your History book. Do you like history?

Nick: I love history. I like to learn about the past.

Librarian: This is a book for your Art lessons. You see, the book is very bright, like a beautiful picture.

Nick: My Music book is very thin. It’s the thinnest of all the school books. Why? It’s so interesting to learn about music.

Librarian: I don’t know Nick. Here’s one more book – English.

Nick: You know, Mrs. Page, my Belarusian friend Ian has a very interesting subject – Literature. They read and speak about books in Literature lessons. Why don’t we have Literature? I love reading.

Librarian: I agree with you. Reading is wonderful. Well, let’s finish with books. This is the last one – French. Can you speak French?

Nick: Only a little. I’ve been to France many times, but French is very difficult!

Librarian: Well, Nick, now you’ve got all the books. You can take them home, but first I have to write your name and the number of books in my notebook.

Nick: Thank you, Mrs. Page.

Unit 7, Lesson 1, Ex. 2b

Part B

Nick: Excuse me, Mrs. Page. I think one book is missing.

Librarian: Missing?

Nick: Yes, I think so. We’ve got 10 subjects this year and you’ve given me only 9 books. You haven’t given me the book for my P.E. lessons.

Librarian: Oh, I see. You must wear your sports clothes to the P.E. lesson. You don’t have to bring a book with you.

Nick: Do I have to bring a football or a tennis racket?

Librarian: No, you don’t. You must come to every P.E. lesson and you must wear your sports clothes. That’s it. But remember, Nick McGregor, you must keep your school books clean and tidy.

Nick: I will. Good-bye, Mrs. Page.

Librarian: Good-bye, Nick.

Mum: Breakfast is on the table. Hurry up, Nick, or you’ll be late for school.

Nick: I don’t care. It isn’t much fun. Why do I have to get up so early? The bell rings at nine. Nine o’clock! Why do we have to start school so early?

Mum: Come on, Nick. What lessons do you have on your timetable today?

Nick: Maths, English, Science, French and Geography. Six hours to spend at school. Why do we have to do so many subjects? Nobody can learn everything. And the breaks are so short. The lessons though are very long. They last 40 minutes. Can you imagine?

Mum: Yes, I can. I was a schoolgirl myself. It was so interesting to go to school. It was fun!

Nick: It’s so boring. I never have time to talk to Jim. The year has just begun, but I’m already tired. It’s a month till the holidays! And there are so many rules you have to follow! Listen in class, be polite, bla-bla-bla!

Mum: Oh, Nick! You used to like school. What’s wrong with you?

Nick: Nothing’s wrong with me. Maths is interesting, but it’s difficult: I sometimes make many mistakes and get bad marks. Music is easy, but it’s boring. I want to sleep in the Music lesson.
