UNIT 1 3
GR AMMAR
Present simple: General statements
Architects design new buildings for cities. She studies the plans for the new capital.
This tall tower doesn’t look new. The skyscraper has a garden inside.
To form the present simple, use the infinitive without to. I/You/We/They design unusual
buildings. Note that with he/she/it, we add -s to the verb: He/She designs a new skyscraper.
It looks amazing. To make a negative sentence, use don’t or doesn’t.
The spelling of some verbs changes after adding -s or -es. Add -es to verbs such as glass →
glasses, wash → washes, watch → watches. For verbs that end in y, drop the y and add -ies:
study → studies.

UNIT 1 5
1 Listen and read. As you read, notice the separate paragraphs. Why does the writer
start new paragraphs? 005
1
Everybody has seen one, most people have walked on one,
and perhaps you started a new one. We may not know the name,
but these paths are called ‘desire paths’. These are paths, tracks or
pavements made by people or animals walking on the grass to move
quickly from one concrete pavement to another. For example, we see
these paths in urban spaces where people don’t use the pavements,
but take a shortcut through green land, parks and gardens.
2
So why do people decide to walk on the green grass and not
on the pavements? Sometimes the architect’s plan for urban spaces
isn’t the best. Residents, people like you and me, who use the outdoor
areas every day, know the best and quickest way to walk from one
place to another.
3
The problem is that we destroy the grass when we make a
desire path. Also, these new tracks get wet and dirty easily. Concrete
is cleaner. We know that we need to protect our green spaces, but we
also need to move from place to place quickly.
Perhaps we need better designers and architects to plan our

pavements and urban green spaces. They should ask local people
and pay attention to what residents want.

UNIT 1 9
WRITING
When we want to tell someone about a person, a place or a thing, we often use descriptive
words. Words such as dirty, busy and wet are adjectives that go with nouns to paint a better
picture in our mind. Notice how these descriptive words create different pictures in our mind.
• Alexis skates on the dirty pavement. • Alexis skates on the busy pavement.
• Alexis skates on the wet pavement.
1 Organise.
1. Your topic is a place that needs changing. Think of a place you know that has a problem.
Maybe it’s very small, too dry or wet, or maybe there’s a lot of rubbish there.
In the first column, list three things you don’t like about the place. Then, in the second
column, think of how you can change each thing. Use descriptive words.
Read your two lists and add more descriptive adjectives. Use a dictionary to help.
2. Plan your writing. You need an opening statement that describes the place and what
the problem is. This will be your topic sentence. It helps the readers understand your
idea. Write your topic sentence here:
Next, you’ll need a paragraph describing what the problem is, and a paragraph about
what the place looks like after the change. Remember to use descriptive words to create
a picture in your readers’ minds.
2 Write.
1. Go to page 21 in your book. Re-read the model text and the descriptive words.

Do water slide testers get any money? Yes, they do. / No, they don’t.
Do you know when a water slide isn’t good? Yes, I do. Sometimes the water doesn’t go on
some parts of the slide, or the design is not
perfect, so I stop in the middle.
Where do water slide testers work? We work in places such as hotels, theme
parks and cruise ships.
To form questions in the present simple, use do/does and the verb (infinitive without to). A
short answer to these questions starts with Yes or No, and we repeat do/does or doesn’t/don’t
but not the verb. Does an underwater explorer have a dangerous job? Yes, he does. Sometimes,
we give additional information. Do you like your office? No, I don’t. It’s too small.
When we look for specific information, we start the questions with question words (where,
what, when, why and so on). Where do researchers work? They work in an office.

1 Listen and read. As you read, think what each paragraph is about. 009
Unlucky
Days at Work
1
When you choose an unusual career, like I did, you don’t expect
everything to be easy. I’m an underwater archaeologist, and things can go
wrong. That’s normal. Sometimes an advisor says that we might find bones in
a cave, for example, but we arrive and it’s empty. That tells me nobody lived
there. So now we ask – why didn’t anybody live in that cave? In this way we
create new research and change a bad situation into something positive.
2
When we explore an underwater cave, we work hard. We get up early,
check our equipment, and drive for many hours. Then we get out and walk,
carrying our heavy ropes and diving equipment. Like most people, we have to
follow a schedule carefully. We can’t spend too many hours diving.
3
One time we got our measurements wrong. I went down into a cave
on a 50-metre rope to check the cave. When I got near the bottom, the rope
wasn’t long enough. And then I saw that there was almost no water in the
cave! I looked very funny with all my expensive diving equipment in a cave
with no water! Anyway, underwater archaeology is my passion, and it’s better
than commuting to an office.
2. How are underwater archaeologists like many people? Give two examples.

Possessives: Showing ownership
NASA’s new space telescope takes great pictures. Its name is Hubble.
To show that something belongs to a person or thing, we use these words: my, your, his, her, its,
our, their.
We can also show possession by adding ’s to a singular noun or to plural nouns that don’t end
in s: The diver’s job is interesting. Women’s passion for diving isn’t unusual.
Add only an apostrophe (’) to plural nouns that end in s: photographers’ cameras. Add ’s to
words that end in s: Mr Dickens’s house.

3 Read. Then match the sentence halves about daylight hours in Stockholm.
Write the letters.
In Stockholm, Sweden, there are 18 hours of daylight during the month of June. However,
in December, there are only five hours. This causes some health problems. People need the
sun’s vitamin D for healthy bones and skin. So the residents add extra vitamin D to their
winter diet by eating more yoghurt and drinking extra milk. Also, they usually take two
holidays a year to enjoy the sun.
There are other problems, too. People feel sad, lose energy, and go out to festivals less
often. In the city centre, tall buildings block the sunlight from reaching the pavements, so
sometimes offices and homes get less than 5 hours of light a day. However, when it snows, the
city looks brighter because streetlights and cars’ headlights light up the snow.

Some verbs describe actions: learn, skate, sing, grow, climb. We can use the be + –ing form
