1. Among some of the problems teenagers face, one of the most serious is peer
pressure.
1.1 Write a short definition of peer pressure. 1×6p
2. Now read the text carefully.
Peer Pressure
Peer pressure is one thing that all teens have in common. You can’t escape it; it is everywhere.
Whether it is pressure to conform to a group norm or pressure to act a certain way, peer pressure is
something everybody has to deal with at some time in their life. How successfully you handle peer
pressure depends a great deal on how you feel about yourself
5 and your place in the world. But how do you prepare to face peer pressure and win? There are many
things you can do:
• know where you stand on key issues like sex, drugs
and alcohol and do not allow anybody to make you
deviate from your position;
10 • never be afraid to speak up and let others know your
boundaries. You may get a bit of teasing at first but
most people respect the boundaries of others when
they know what they are.
• never take part in any bullying. Making other
15 people feel bad or sad is a terrible way to try to fit in.
Flatly refuse to take part in anything designed to
cause harm or distress to another person and speak
up if such a situation arises. One person standing up
for what is right is usually enough to
20 inspire others to follow.
• think of yourself as a leader and act accordingly. The
more you see yourself in a leadership role the more
comfortable you will feel asserting your own opinions
and feelings.
25 And don’t forget you will have to live with the choices
you make. If you give in and do something that is
contrary to your character or core value system it will
cause you distress later and you will feel regret.
30 Always stand up for what you think is right. Peer
pressure only works if you let it; if you refuse to let it
intimidate you, it loses its power. The secret is to be
assertive and stand your ground.

1. Thinking about how teenagers need guidance and examples to make choices,
answer the following question.
1.1 What is a role-model? 1×7p
Celebrities and their influence

Living in a technological era, we have access to the tabloids more than ever before. There are
television sets, magazine covers, Internet blogs, and movies screaming to be read and watched, and
they are plastered with images of tacky celebrities. In an age where we have more contact with
celebrity gossip than we have ever had, we are faced with a question: what are the effects that
5 superstars have on our youth? Celebrities influence fans to be destructively thin, put harmful
substances in their bodies, and many parents are concerned with the overall content these celebrities
are putting on television, in movies, and over the Internet.
Based on a recent poll, 77% of Americans believe that celebrities have too much of an influence
on young girls. This effect is especially evident in their appearance and attitudes. With celebrities
10 creating impossible standards of beauty, more and more young adults are feeling ‘less confident,
more angry, and more dissatisfied’ with their looks. 40% of nine and ten year-olds have tried losing
weight and at age thirteen, 53% of girls were unhappy with their image. The National Institute of
Mental Health estimates that eating disorders affect more than five million Americans a year, with
disorders usually beginning in the teens or as early as eight.
15
Celebrities need to change the way they act and how they are viewed. Their actions have more of
an effect on us than many people believe they have. Thin, addicted celebrities are changing the
way many young fans think and act. Celebrities need to change these horrible habits now and
realize that they need to be more concerned with themselves and with their portrayal in the media.

Read the text.
Why do people volunteer?

People volunteer for a number of different reasons, ranging from a desire to learn new skills, have fun
or make a difference. Some are completely devoted to the cause, while others simply wish to do their bit
where they can. So, what may be the main reasons why people volunteer?
A. One of the greatest benefits of volunteering abroad is being able to spend an extended period of
time in a new country. It’s a truly unique learning experience that will see you interacting with new
5 cultures, trying new food, speaking new languages and meeting new people.
B. Many people choose to volunteer because of the personal benefits that volunteering has on their
character. In most cases, volunteers become more concerned and aware of the problems facing the
world and many feel that they were ignorant or narrow minded before. Volunteers returning from abroad
are usually more independent, more adventurous and more courageous.
10 C. While meeting people is often an added bonus, many people choose to volunteer primarily to
develop friendships with people from different cultures but making friends with your fellow volunteers is
also a strong motive. Many volunteers make lifelong friendships that come from working through
difficulties and exploring new things together.
D. Volunteer work is a great way to gain experience in a broad range of fields. You can gain
15 experience in education, social work, animal care, health care, politics… Volunteering is a great way to
put in a little of your time and gain some valuable skills.
E. If nothing else, volunteering abroad will develop your language skills tremendously. You will be
speaking a foreign language twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. You will be amazed at how
quickly you pick it up. Knowing a foreign language is a huge bonus in today’s job market. International
20 communication is of growing importance. Employers see great value in an ability to communicate, so a
person that speaks three languages is much more desirable than a person who can only speak one.
F. Volunteer work can be hard but it is also usually great fun and extremely rewarding. It gives you
the opportunity to play with children, go swimming in the local watering hole, shop at traditional markets,
climb mountains, touch lives and see people smile! It’s something different, memorable and, for many,
25 lifechanging!
So whatever your reason for volunteering, you’ll find that it offers you a truly unique experience. In
today’s busy world, many people think that they don’t have time to volunteer but placements can be as
short as a week and they make a truly memorable summer vacation.

Study abroad memories: From London, with love – Kate
It’s funny the things that I remember years later, the little snapshots that pop into my head
whenever I think of London.
I remember sitting, my legs propped up on my bags in front of me, in a waiting area in Heathrow.
I remember having to lug those 2 giant suitcases over four blocks of bumpy London sidewalks (I
5 had not yet learned the importance of packing light), because our street was too small for the bus
to maneuver down.
I remember a bunch of us pouring into the local pub on one of our first nights there, giddy with
excitement and lingering jet lag.
I remember meeting my flat mates and having a bonding night, complete with pajamas, cider and
10 getting-to-know-you laughter.
I remember the wind from the approaching Tube train blowing my

hair back. I remember the bustle of changing trains at Green Park
during rush hour, and getting frustrated with the “tourists” who
seemed to move in slow motion.
15
I remember our meeting spot, by

the Eros statue in Piccadilly
Circus, and the ache of tired feet
after a night of dancing. I
remember sprinting through
20 the
Tube station, trying to catch the
last train. And, when that failed,
I remember shivering in the cold
of Trafalgar Square, waiting in
the darkness for the night
25 bus
that would take me home.
I remember my Classs (barely).

I remember strolling down a side
street, swinging a bag of
groceries from Sainsbury’s,
30
gazing up at the grey London
sky and feeling, at that moment,
perfectly happy.

I remember the friends I made. We still keep in touch, though now it’s just through occasional posts on
our Facebook walls instead of daily chats in the pub.
35 And I remember being back at Heathrow airport, months after I arrived, crying as I waited for the plane
to take me back. It’s hard to say I was going home, because in those 4 short months it felt like a tiny
flat in Swiss Cottage had become my home.
And that’s the best thing about living (and studying) abroad. You realize you can adapt to anything,
and grow to love it. Your definition of home, and your understanding of the world around you,
40 expands. It wasn’t one momentous, life-changing moment, but the simple day-to-day experiences that
defined my time in England.

Reading
1. Are there any advantages of cyberfriendship compared to traditional friendship?
Explain. 1×6

2. Read the text attentively.
Cyber friends vs traditional friends

Modern technology has given us the ability to communicate, and make “friends” with others on a global
basis. Facebook, Twitter, Instant Messaging, Email, and Text Messaging have all made it possible to
have “friends” that we never meet, and will in all likelihood never meet, face to face. I’ve seen people
on Facebook who have over a thousand friends. I ask myself is that realistic? The easy answer is to
5 say of course not, nobody can possibly have that many friends, but when I ponder it deeper I come up
with a plethora of different answers. Maybe the definition of “friend” needs to be updated. Maybe we
can have thousands of friends in this new cyber world. Perhaps face to face interaction is no longer
necessary for a friendship to develop. Maybe we are better off communicating with each other via our
computers and phones rather than looking someone in the eye and actually talking to them.
10 But do all of our cyber friends have any real desire to know that we are listening to Katy Perry, that
we are feeling melancholy, going hiking this afternoon, and had a bad experience at the grocery
store last night? Probably not, but by announcing all these things to our multitude of friends we get
the sensation that people out there really care. We give them a thumbs up, post witty things to their
wall, punch them back, wink at them, and the list goes on and on. How many of these people care
15 enough about us to be a real friend?
When life becomes tough are they there to watch us cry, listen with a compassionate heart, and give
us a sincere hug as our tears flow? Only a real friend can do this, someone that we have a real life
relationship with, a person that has intimate
20 knowledge of “us”, and not simply the
cyber face that we present to the
world.
Perhaps the whole debate can
be summed up by saying that
25 we have multiple different
friendships. Our cyber
communities allow us to reach
out, share information, become
involved in lively debates, and
30 form friendships that are limited
to how we portray ourselves via
words: our cyber face. Our face
to face friends allow us to use
our interpersonal skills to
35 interact with one another on a
personal and intimate level to
build true and lasting relationships.

These friends see us for who we really are and they hold us accountable to our impeccable word by
watching our actions. Technology provides us with the mechanism to locate those who we share
similar interests with, but in order to forge true and lasting friendships there is still no replacement for
40 looking someone in the eye when talking to them, and using our intuition to determine if that person
has what it takes to be our “friend”.

Activity B
Read the following text.
The importance of learning English

English is the fourth most widely spoken native language in the world, and in terms of sheer number of
speakers, it is the most spoken official language in the world. It is the primary language used in international
affairs. The English language has official status even in nations where it is not the primary spoken language.
English is indisputably the primary language of global trade and commerce. In many countries, most tourism
5 authorities and other officials in contact with the public speak English to interact and engage with tourists and
immigrants.
While progress has been made in language-translation software and allied technologies, the primary language
of the ubiquitous and all-influential World Wide Web is English. It is typically the language of latest-version
applications and programs and new freeware, shareware, peer-to-peer, social media networks and websites.
10 Software manuals, hardware-installation guides and product fact sheets of popular consumer electronics and
entertainment devices are usually available in English first before being made available in other languages.
In universities and colleges in Great Britain, the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore,
which attract the most number of international students, the primary language of instruction is English. Most of
the top business schools, medical centers and advanced-study institutes are located in North America and
15 Great Britain, and English is the language used in every activity at these institutions of higher learning. Most
peer-to-peer journals and technical periodicals that give international acclaim to scientists, engineers,
technologists, and technocrats are printed in English.
The influence of the United States and Great Britain on political affairs and international relations for the past
100 years has ensured the proliferation and acceptance of English as the primary spoken language in many
20 countries. The widespread acceptance of American pop culture also has contributed to the primacy of the
English language. A working knowledge of English is important for diplomats and high-ranking officials in such
major countries as Germany, Japan, France, South Korea, Brazil, Italy, and Russia so they can better
understand the nuance and craft of global affairs and international diplomacy.
Knowing English opens job and employment opportunities in many countries and markets. Multilateral
25 institutions and agencies in the four United Nation cities of New York, Vienna, The Hague and Geneva recruit
professionals with multilingual skills but also expect the candidates to have good English-speaking skills. The
Commonwealth of Nations, made up of 50-plus countries that were former British colonies or dependencies,
also offers numerous employment opportunities to those who understand and communicate in English.

MasterChef Uk crowns joint winners

Two chefs have shared the title in the final of this year’s
MasterChef: The Professionals, after judges were unable
to choose between them. Keri Moss, 41, and Anton
Piotrowski, 30, became the first joint winners in the
5 history of the competition.
“It’s absolutely amazing; to share the title with someone
that’s so talented and so amazing is unreal,” said
Piotrowski, who runs a pub in Devon.
London-based caterer Moss said: “Joint winners is just
10 fantastic.
“We’ve had a good run together, Anton is awesome,” said
the cook, whose winning menu included Chinese Five
Spiced Duck Breast and a Green Olive and Pistachio
Cake.
15 She added: “Today has surpassed anything that I have
ever achieved in my career, in my whole life. This is just
massive.”
After four weeks of heats, the two eventual winners
battled it out with fellow finalist Oli Boon, 23, during an
20 intense week of competition that saw them cook a three-
course dinner for more than 30 Michelin-starred chefs,
and work in the kitchens of Heston Blumenthal’s world-
renowned Fat Duck restaurant. Piotrowski’s winning
menu included squid ink and malt vinegar crumble and
25 cocoa-marinated venison. “This has probably been one of
the hardest, tightest finals that I have ever seen,” said
judge Michel Roux Jr.
“It was just impossible to split them – their talents have been matched plate for plate for the past
several challenges and it was truly impossible to award one the title over the other.”
30 “Anton has got the knowledge, he’s got the skills in abundance, he’s got the passion, the drive –
every dish that Anton cooks is original, it’s got a twist, it’s got his character there,” said Roux.
“I don’t know what magic is running through Keri’s fingertips, I don’t know who poured the passion into
her soul, but you can feel it and you can taste it in dish after dish,” said Wallace.

1. The internet has become part of our lives and many people cannot imagine
a day without it. 1 × 12 p
1.1 Name three positive and three negative aspects of the internet.
How the Internet connects people

The internet has changed our lives in ways that many of us never dreamed were possible. With
modern technology we are now able to “chat” with people on the other side of the globe as well as
with our friends down the street. The connections that it has given people are nothing short of
amazing.
5 One of the most obvious ways the internet has helped to connect people can be seen by the effect it
has had on families who live far apart. With instant messaging they are able to “chat” in real time.
Pictures and videos can be shared with the click of your mouse. Virtual interaction has been a
blessing to those who do not live near their families. It is easier to keep up with the news and send
information of your own.
10 There are numerous sites devoted to finding people that we have lost touch with. Some of the social
sites, such as Facebook or Myspace, have also increased the odds of our stumbling across
someone that we once knew.
The internet has provided us with endless opportunities to connect with others. With sites focused on
family, careers, hobbies, meeting people, finding people, interests and so forth we have unlimited
15 possibilities to connect or reconnect.
Thanks to the internet we are no longer geographically limited in our contacts. We can exchange
emails with our cousin who is doing missionary work in Africa. We can send pictures to show our
grandma in Italy how much her great granddaughter resembles her. There are so many ways to
build a connection with others via the internet.
20 Those who remember a time before the internet existed can testify as to how much of a difference it
has made and the impact it has had on their lives. All of us want to be connected to someone and
the net has made that much easier.

The journalist said .
Activity B
Why Facebook abuse is a matter for employers

Workers be warned: taking to your Facebook page or another social networking site to make derogatory
comments about a colleague is not a wise move. Comments that would be construed as bullying in the office
are not out of bounds to employers if you make them in public, as one worker found to his cost at a tribunal in
Belfast.
5 The tribunal found that the Facebook posts did amount to sexual harassment, and were contrary to the
employer’s disciplinary and code of conduct policies. In accepting the employer’s decision to dismiss, the
tribunal rejected Teggart’s argument that his rights under the Human Rights Act 1998 had been interfered with
because he should not have been dismissed for making “private” comments to his circle of friends on Facebook.
The tribunal said “when [Teggart] put his comments on his Facebook pages, to which members of the public
10 could have access, he abandoned any right to consider his comments as being private”. This seems a pretty
sensible approach.

It’s not just on Facebook that employees can come unstuck if they are seen to be bullying colleagues. The
following things could all be construed as cyber bullying:
15 • Sending offensive or threatening emails to a colleague, especially where that person has asked you to stop.
• Texting or tweeting.
• Sharing a person’s private data online.
• Bombarding someone with emails where previous email approaches have been rejected.
This can happen where a superior is placing unrealistic expectations on another employee, leading to the
20 distress of that employee, and can amount to cyber bullying in extreme cases. Such behaviour poses a serious
concern for employers who will need to consider if there is a right to interfere with employees’ personal
activities, especially outside work. Employers have a duty of care towards their staff and shouldn’t refrain from
taking action because the bullying activity is taking place outside work or, for example, via a personal mobile
phone.
25 Many employers already have well drafted policies in place enabling them to monitor what you do at work, and
setting out what conduct is deemed unacceptable whether during work time or otherwise. This will make it far
easier for an employer to raise a successful claim for misconduct against the cyberbully wherever and however
it is perpetrated.
One advantage in dealing with cyber bullying over traditional bullying is that it occurs in a public domain and is
30 not easily hidden. Emails, text messages, posts and blogs can often be traced, even if the bully posts
anonymous comments.

Reading
1. Thinking about how demanding and time consuming life can be, answer the
following question: Do you consider yourself a multitasker? State your
reasons. 1 × 10 p
2. Read the following text.
Multitasking versus serial tasking

There are people who take great pride in being a multitasker. They talk on the mobile phone,
send e-mail, and perhaps even read a letter and jot down notes for an upcoming school
assignment all at the same time (or so you think). Why do they multitask? Well, how else can
they accomplish everything they need to get done (and still have time for a life!)? These people
5 believe they are the epitome of productivity and efficiency, getting so much done all at once.
There’s one problem with this scenario: there is no such thing as multitasking – at least not
the way we may think of it. The fact is that multitasking, as most people understand it, is a
myth that has been promulgated by the “technological-industrial complex” to make overly
scheduled and stressed-out people feel productive and efficient.
10 But multitasking is only possible if two conditions are met: 1) at least one of the tasks is so
well learned as to be automatic, meaning no focus or thought is necessary to engage in the
task (e.g., walking or eating) and 2) they involve different types of brain processing. For
example, people can read effectively while listening to classical music because reading
comprehension and processing instrumental music engage different parts of the brain.
15 However, their ability to retain information while reading and listening to music with lyrics
declines significantly because both tasks activate the language center of the brain.
What does this mean for all the self-proclaimed multitaskers out there? It means that what
you do isn’t really multitasking. Despite appearances, people simply can’t talk on the phone,
read e-mail, send an instant message, and watch YouTube videos all at the same time.
20 Every other so-called multitasker is actually serial tasking. Rather than engaging in
simultaneous tasks, you are in fact shifting from one task to another in rapid succession. For
example, people switch from a phone conversation to a document on their computer screen
to an email and back again in the belief that they are doing them simultaneously. But they’re
not.

Smart medical capsules

A means of ‘journeying’ though the body in a way that causes less discomfort than traditional
endoscopy where intrusive probes are used. The small capsule endoscope is a ‘pill’ that is narrowed
and then makes pictures of internal systems such as the intestines, while travelling through the brain.
Robotising the capsules both greatly their diagnostic and therapeutic effectiveness and signifies a
magical change in medicine. A minirobot (and in the future perhaps a “nanobot”) will be able to move
itself, or be externally steered, to have a closer look at internal issues, or even destroy unwanted
tissue. Case in point: In the future, minirobots could be introduced into the eye to perform decision
eye surgery under the external control of the robot

1.1 Name three advantages brought by technologies into people’s lives. 1 × 6 p
The impact of robots in our lives

Robots have rapidly become part of our lives everywhere from the home, our
children, hospitals, police departments and battlefields with our troops.
Robots are made with specific purposes in mind, but some are programmed to learn
based on experiences, commands and introduced software. Who bears the liability
5 if a robot injures a human being? What if the injury isn’t an accident? Science fiction
rules aside, there are currently no laws in the U.S. that deal with robots causing
injury to humans.
Not only legal liability is being pondered. The attachment formed by some people to
their robotic pets or devices, like decorating and naming a Roomba vacuum cleaner
10 is also a delicate topic.
Under consideration for the future along with liability and human emotions is the
proposal to develop robots that can explain their actions and decisions to humans. I
had a robot dog when they first came out. No hair, no fur. It sat, spoke and walked
on command. It was truly amusing and cute at first, but with toys also comes
15 boredom. Eventually I gave it away. For me, the real thing has no substitute.
I interact with children who have robotic pets, and can see the appeal for both them
and their parents. A pet is expensive. Food, vet bills, legal liabilities if the pet bites
or gets loose and attacks another pet, etc. The robot pet is accepted in apartments
and houses for rent while a live pet may not be. And the pets aren’t just dog and cat
20 robots. Leopards, lion cubs, pandas, penguins and more are available. They
entertain, amuse and fill the “I want a pet”
void.
There are times I wonder just what kind of
robot I would love to have. How one to
25 chase out the squirrels? Get the mail or take
out the trash – so I’m not “doing the trash
dash” in the cold or rain – or one to scoop up
the poo from the yard for dog owners? Now
that would be a handy gift to give.

Activity B
Forty years from now...

A glimpse of how life might look in the smart city of 2050
It is a Friday night in London, 2050. Daisy, 18, daughter of Alan and Katy, wants to go out. But will it be the pub,
the disco, the nightclub, a smart restaurant, a film – or all of them? Where will they meet? Daisy decides to ask
her friends.
Once, people used to ring each other up and look at listings on the internet, catch up using social networks such
5 as Facebook and Twitter, or talk on cam with Skype. Then along came Facebook Places, where you just told
everybody where you were, when you were there. And gradually, everything became unified into one big instant
messaging social network.
There is still a need for a little downtime, but in the city of 2050, people won’t have to go anywhere to have a
great evening out. Our entertainment will come to us. So will our friends. All Daisy has to do is set the social
10 network to “incoming”, order the film of her choice, and then – if some of the wilder predictions are true – turn
her bedroom into a virtual evening out.
Daisy decides to start the evening in a bar downtown. The bar in King’s Cross really exists but Daisy and her
friends don’t feel like travelling, so with a few clicks her bedroom becomes the (virtual) pub and her friends join
her. It’s all done with 3D holographic imaging – once a gimmick but now hugely advanced from the early
15 technology of 2010. An entire wall of Daisy’s bedroom is a vast holographic screen.
By 2050, you’ll be able to invite your aunt from Australia for Sunday lunch.” And while she might seem as if she
is in the same room, eating the roast, she won’t have actually left her own sitting room.
Which is exactly what her parents are doing this evening. While Daisy is upstairs with her friends they are
having dinner with Lisa, Daisy’s older sister.
