I visited my mother and studied French. I didn't have many problems and I made a lot of
friends. I went to the USA and learned English a lot too. I saw different places and had
time to take pictures. I didn't drink beer, I drank only soda. I ate barbecue and slept late
on weekends. I started a business and worked a lot. My business helped me learn and
understand things. I didn't want to live in the USA because I love Brazil. My life changed
and I had many things to do every day. I also nished what I started in 2003: an English
course. I didn't lose anything, I only won. This was the best year of my life. Everything went

My future plans and expectations
I often wonder about my future as I am
about to nish Secondary School. The
number one question on my mind is
which professions should I choose? I
want a profession that will satisfy me,
challenge me, and bring me joy. I
believe that a job should be like a
hobby. I want to love my work.
First of all, as soon as I nish Secondary
School, I will take the rst important
exam of my life – the nal graduation
exam. I will be tested in four different
subjects: the English and German
languages, biology, and chemistry. After
my graduation, I will study at the
Medical University to become a doctor.
But now, I am focusing my attention on
nishing my studies. Also, before I have a
family, I would like to travel overseas. I
want to see countries like Japan, Finland
and travel through the African
continent. After I nish my education
and travels, I plan to get married and
have a family. I would like to live with my
future family in a quiet, natural
countryside setting.
C. Does he want to travel and visit other countries? With yes, which ones?

We're going to be late. I wish you would hurry.

ENGLISH BOOK 2
“How come a Christian and a pagan holiday are celebrated on the same day?”
you might ask, “Is it just a coincident?” – No, it isn't. When Christianity spread, the
Church tried to disturb the pagan customs as little as possible, and so they merged
their festivals with pagan ones.
Trick or Treat. It was widely believed that on Hallows' Evening the dead
would rise from their graves to roam the earth. Afraid of evil spirits, people
therefore either wore ugly masks to frighten those spirits away, or they stayed at
home saying prayers. Some would also go from house to house, begging for 'soul
cakes', square pieces of bread with currants. In return they promised to pray for
dead members of the donors' families.
Going from house to house, begging for sweets – doesn't that sound
familiar? Indeed, that's the origin of TRICK OR TREAT. Be aware, however, as the
custom has changed! Nobody is going to pray for you nowadays. Instead, if you
don't have a TREAT for the children in front of your door (some sweets for
example), they will most likely play a TRICK on you – that's what TRICK OR TREAT is
all about.

Life's ambitions
What will the future bring and when?
We never know what will happen in the future but
we can have plans. We can imagine ourselves in
the future looking back at our achievements.
This is how teenager Susan imagines her life:
“By the time I'm 21 I'll have graduated from university.
I'll have got married and had two children by the time
I'm 30 and by 50 I'll have made my fortune from
writing. By age 60 I'll have retired to a comfortable
cottage in the countryside."
Michal's journey
Susan has written about her friend Michal.
Read what she has written and answer this
question:
Why doesn't she know where Michal is?
“Michal is a traveller, not a tourist. He loves
exploring new places and getting to know
the locals. By the time he gets back in three
months' time he will have been away for
nearly a year. He doesn't really do social
media: he prefers old-fashioned postcards
and letters and what he calls 'proper'
photographs. He's terrible at keeping in
touch, so I don't know where he is at the
moment, but he did let me know his travel
plans before he left and he usually sticks to
them. By now he'll have visited at least a
dozen countries. He'll have crossed deserts
and mountains and if he is following his
schedule he'll have own into Borneo last
week."
60
ENGLISH BOOK 2
Future for the past?
There are four examples of the future perfect in the passage:
· ...in three months' time he will have been away for nearly a year.
· By now he'll have visited at least a dozen countries.
· He'll have crossed deserts and mountains...
· ...he'll have own into Borneo last week.
How many of these examples of the future perfect refer to future time? Only one:
· ...in three months' time he will have been away for nearly a year.
We know this is about a future time because of the time phrase: in three months' time.
In the other examples the time expressions refer to the present and past:
· By now he'll have visited at least a dozen countries. (This refers to present time.)
· ...he'll have own into Borneo last week. (This refers to past time.)
Attention: So, using the future perfect does not always mean we are talking about
future time. We also use it to make a good guess about an activity we assume, but
don't know for sure, happened in the past, at or before a particular time. We can
make a good guess about it because we know the people and/or their plans.

“breaking curveball” are
particularly exasperating to
batters because these balls
tend to veer in one direction
or the other just as they reach
home plate. The “rising
fastball” zooms forward only to jump up and over the bat as the batter swings. The
“breaking curveball” curves toward home plate, but plunges downward
unexpectedly at the 10 last moment. Batters attempt to anticipate these pitches, and
respond accordingly, while pitchers work at perfecting their “fast” and “curve” ball
deliveries.
But, according to studies conducted by a team of engineers and
psychologists, 15 the “rising fastball” and the “breaking curveball” do not actually
exist; they are merely optical illusions. The studies revealed that batters perceive the
ball as approaching more slowly or falling more quickly than it actually is, and it is this
misperception that produces the visual illusion. Batters tend to have difculty tracking
a ball 20 continuously as it approaches and will briey divert their eyes to the spot
where they think the ball will cross the plate. When a batter has misjudged the speed
or angle of a pitch, and shifts his or her gaze in this way, the ball will appear to
suddenly rise or dip, and the batter will often miss.
How will this nding affect “America's favorite pastime”? No doubt some will
vehemently reject the notion that the “rising fastball” and the “breaking curveball”
are mere illusions. But for others, the ndings may imbue the game with a new level of
intrigue as batters 30 attempt to respond to pitches that don't exist.

TOEFL part 2 (Listening Skills)
The Listening section measures your ability to understand spoken English. In
academic settings, you must be able to listen to lectures and conversations.
Academic listening is typically done for one of the three following purposes:
Academic Lectures
The lectures in the TOEFL iBT® test reect the kind of listening and
speaking that occurs in the classroom. In some of the lectures, the professor does all or
almost all of the talking, with an occasional comment by a student. In other lectures,
the professor may engage the students in discussion by asking questions that are
answered by the students. The photos that accompany the lectures indicate
whether one person or several people will be speaking.
71
ENGLISH BOOK 2
Conversations in an Academic Setting
The conversations in the TOEFL iBT test may take place during an ofce
meeting with a professor or teaching assistant, or during a service encounter with
university staff. The contents of the ofce conversations are generally academic in
nature or related to course requirements. Service encounters could involve
conversations about a housing payment, registering for a class or requesting
information at the library. The photos that accompany the conversations help you
imagine the setting and the roles of the speakers.

TOEFL part 4 (Writing Skills)
Academic Writing Skills
The Writing section measures your ability to write in English in an academic setting. In
all academic situations where writing in English is required, you must be able to
present your ideas in a clear, well-organized manner.
Often you'll need to write a paper or an essay response on an exam about what
you've been learning in class. This requires combining information you've heard in
lectures with what you've read in textbooks or other materials. For this type of
writing—often referred to as integrated writing—you must be able to:
Take notes on what you hear and read, and use your notes to organize information
before writing
Summarize, paraphrase and cite information accurately from source material
Write about the ways the information you heard relates to the information you read
You also must be able to write essays that express and support your opinions. In this
type of writing—known as independent writing—you express an opinion and support
it based on your own knowledge and experience.
For example, you may be asked to write an essay about a controversial issue. You
would use past personal experience to support your position.
Task 1
Integrated • You read a short text of about 230 –300 words (reading
Writing Task time: three minutes) on an academic topic.

A “how-to” is a type of writing that describes how to do something step-by-step.
Most “how-to” teach something new, like how to bake a chocolate cake, or how
to use a certain feature on your phone.

For this exercise, write a how-to for something a bit…different. Think of something
you do every day without thinking, and write a how-to about that. Write about
something like tying your shoelaces, checking your email on your phone or even
breathing. Try to explain it in four steps.
