different as chalk and cheese). We get on OK now, but when we were growing up,
we (fought like cat and dog). Raoul is older and smarter than me, and he always used
to figure out how to put the blame on me. I had a reputation as the naughty one, I was
the (little monkey) of the family. I didn't understand how two brothers could be so
different. Then, when I was 12, my parents made a (dynamite revelation). I was
adopted. Well, I thought it was the end of the world when they told me. If you'd asked
me back then, I'd have told you to (pack up the moon and dismantle the sun). Life as I
knew it was over. Except it wasn't, of course. Six years later, I traced my birth family,
and we're now very close. I count myself lucky – I now have two families, and they're
very precious to me. Even Raoul.

there's one really weird thing they do.

ROB Yeah?

BETH Yeah, it's called 'Cook the perfect ...', and they get famous chefs to cook dishes on the
radio.

ROB On the radio?

BETH Yeah, so you can (hear) what they're doing – chopping, frying and all that – but you can't
actually (see) it, so you've got no idea what the dishes (look) like. Of course, the
presenters try the dishes and say they (taste) delicious, but I mean really, it seems a bit
pointless to me.

ROB Yeah, you really want to see the food, don't you? To whet your appetite.

BETH Exactly.

47. As a personal financial adviser, I can help people from all (income brackets) to make
their money go further. The first thing I do is look at people’s spending habits. Are they
living beyond (their means)? To do this, I ask them to keep every (sales receipt) for a
month. This can be very revealing. For example, last year I worked with one woman
who was spending £2.75 on coffee every day. That’s £85 a month, or over £1,000 a
year! Just understanding where you’re overspending can help you get your (spending
under control).
Next we look at how you can (reduce debt). This could mean paying off the credit card
or increasing mortgage payments.

popular.)

popular. (more efficient.)

SUZANNAH Tony, how do I use this sales reporting software?

TONY The (way it works is that) you enter all your confirmed sales into it.

SUZANNAH OK.

TONY So, (as soon as) you confirm a sale, you enter the customer information here.

SUZANNAH I see.

TONY (In order to) enter this information, you need to have the customer name, invoice

in one place, so that everyone can access it.

SUZANNAH Yes, good idea.

TONY And here, you see these little red flag icons?

SUZANNAH Yes.

TONY (This is supposed to) alert you when an order is overdue. (It does it by) sending
you an email or a text message. It means you can chase up the order and let the
customer know if there's going to be a delay.

SUZANNAH I see. Thanks for your help.

TONY You're welcome.

My sister loves sunbathing on the beach, (whereas) I can't stand sitting in the

walking her dog early in the morning discovered a pile of neatly folded men’s clothing
next to a suitcase. Inside the suitcase were hundreds of bundles of euro notes. The
clothes were dry and not bloodstained, so it seems the owner of the suitcase (made it
ashore) safely, probably by boat. It is possible that the man (made for) the British coast
 (most probably with help from criminal gangs), but was startled by something on the
beach, and went into hiding. If the cash was smuggled ashore, it seems likely this would
have been done at night as customs patrols (would have made it too dangerous) to land
during the day. But why would he leave his clothes behind? Police have (made a
search) of the area, but have found no further clues.

partner in crime, friends of the pair say that Bonnie never shot a single bullet.

because she adored him.

novelist.
Her work has been (translated) for non-English speakers.
As a young woman, Christie was a keen reader of (stories) featuring Sherlock Holmes.
Her first novel was only published after Christie was forced to alter the story's (ending).
Almost all the characters in an Agatha Christie novel have a believable (motive) for
committing murder.
If you read a Christie novel, you'll be (guessing) who committed the crime all the way
through.
Many readers say they love Christie's books because they are quite short and not
too (complicated).
Part of the (charm) of a Christie novel is that the detectives do not use any modern

possible. (I'll help you.)

If he were to talk to the victim, you follow strict guidelines. (it would make him think

If you're caught speeding, you (will get) a fine.

206.

A I think for small crimes like speeding, you should just get (a warning).

B Really? Where's the incentive to obey the law? At the very least, you should have to pay (a
fine). Otherwise, people would speed all the time.

A But there are some crimes, like (shoplifting), that are dealt with too harshly. That's not a
serious crime. There's no real victim.

B What? Who says that? Of course there's a victim. What about the shop whose products have
been stolen? The thief should (make reparation) for the business's losses, either by
doing (work in the community) or serving time in (prison).

A I don't agree at all. If you treat petty criminals harshly instead of helping them, they'll just go
on to commit more serious (offences).

TANYA That's weird.

LUKE Yeah. I c' (can't) s (say) f (for) s (sure), but I wonder whether someone stole it.

TANYA What!

LUKE Maybe the intern. She was admiring my phone the other day. S (She) c (could) e
(easily) have taken it while I wasn't looking.

TANYA I h (have) m (my) d (doubts) a (about) whether anyone stole it. Surely no one in the
office would do something like that.

LUKE Should I go and ask the intern if she has it? Or should I speak to the boss?

TANYA Why don't you report it missing first. You've probably left it somewhere. S' (Someone's)
b (bound) t (to) find it and hand it in.

LUKE Yeah, m (most) l (likely). I suppose you're right.

TANYA What's your number? If I call it, maybe we'll be able to hear it ring.

delicious!)
LIAM I guess so. What are you going to do? (JASMINE Well, ever since I paid for
dinner with my credit card, there have been some weird charges appearing on my

JASMINE I'm in two minds about it. Should I go to the police or report it to the
credit-card company? (LIAM What do you mean?)
JASMINE Well, ever since I paid for dinner with my credit card, there have been
some weird charges appearing on my statement. (JASMINE Well, there's a charge

no way I've bought anything online in the past week. I'd bet my bottom dollar that the
people in the pizza restaurant stole my card details.)

217. In Mary Reynold's last book, Future Forward, her characters lived in a u (utopia)
where robots did all the manual work and all disease had been eradicated. In her new
novel, Law and Order, her vision of the f (future) is very different. After a worldwide c
(conflict) which wipes out 90% of the human population, crime is rife and people are
taking justice into their own hands. S (Superficially), the story is about how humans
cope when stripped of modern conveniences and luxuries. However, in this d

engineer.
We now use some of the (gadgets) used by Captain Kirk in the TV show.
