Subject Your stay in Varese

HiMadin.

Thanks for your nice email. We're really excited about your visit in December!

I'm seventeen years old and l'm in the second year of high school. My favourite subject is English and
l'm also really into painting and drawing. I love travelling, so l'm hoping to study Art abroad after high
school. I'm also a big fan of electronic music, so we definitely have something in common. ;-)
Like you, l'm quite open and friendly and I get on well with everyone. At the moment, I'm
really busy because l'm revising for my exams.

My mum's a doctor and my dad is a supermarket manager. We live in an apartment

near the centre of Varese. Varese isn't the most famous town in ltalv but it's beside
a beautiful lake. lt's an amazing place for walking or mountain
biking because it's near some awesome mountains. Bring your
walking boots!

Two important things you should know. First, Varese can be

cold and wet in winter. lt can even snow! So pack a warm
sweater. Also, we have a l*abrador puppy called Baggio -
he's sweet but a bit silly.

We're really looking fonrvard to meeting you.

Allthe best,

Lorenzo

A few weeks ago a school inspector observed my class, I gave him my chair and he
went to the back of the classroom. I was really nervous but my students were Ereat:
they weren't noisy, they paid attention, they didn't shout and they put their hands
up to ask questions, After a while I asked them to do some pair work and I sat down,
Unfortunately, I forgot my chair wasn't in its usual place and lfell on the floor!

My Year 6 class did some projects for me last month, I told them
their posters were fantastic and I wanted to put them up on the

chair had wheels. lt started to move. My pupils watched in silence
as I rode mv chair across the room,
Yesterday my last class was in the laboratory on the third floor,
Ihanded out a worksheet to my students but then I saw a fly

baseball and his dream was to play for a Major League team.
In the 1980s he played Minor League baseball. But then he
hurt his arm, so he gave up his dream and became a PE
teacher and baseball coach at Reagan Gounty High.
Ten years later, Jim and his pupils made a deal. lf
the schoolteam won the District Ghampionship, Jim
promised to play a trial match for the Tampa Bay Devil
Rays, The kids won the competition, so Jim went to
the trial. Amazingly, he played really well. Finally, on 18
September 1999, Jim played in a Major League game at last.
He was thirty-five years old.

Because of his arm, Jim only played twentyr-one games. After

retiring from professional sport, he wrote his autobiography and
Disney made a film about him called The Rookie. He is now
a public speaker who talks about his own experiences to inspire
and motivate people.
Jim's life shows it's never too late to believe in your dreams. What's
more, it shows that sometimes students can inspire teachers.

On 1 lanuary 2009, Graham Hughes from Liverpool,
England, sailed across the River Plate from Argentina
to Uruguay on a ferry. He was setting out on an
incredible solo journey. He was going to visit every
country in the world. And he was going to be the first
person to do it without flying.
He r,vas doing it to set a Guinness World Record and
to collect money for the charity WaterAid. But he also
rtanted to show that the world isnt such a danserous
place.
Graham hoped to complete the trip in under a year. In
the end it took him almost four years.
It started well. He visited all twelve countries in South
America in only two weeks. But then in the Caribbean,
he met his first big problem - islands! You carit travel
overland to every country in the world, often there are
no ferries between islands and Graham cant walk on
I'ater. He solved his problem by hitchhiking on other
people's boats.
From North America, he sailed to Iceland on
a container ship. Europe was easy. He got a railway
ticket which allowed him to travel ever)'where in
Europe by train. It only took him a few weeks to visit
fifty countries. Then he arrived in Africa.
He was planning on just three months there. It took
him almost three yearsl He had problems with transport
and also with politics. For example, he had a valid
s{-?-'z---*--.;

passport, but he also needed a visa to enter Mauritania.
Unfortunately, they werent selling visas at the border.
So, he travelled 1,250 miles by bus all the way back to
the place where he knew that he could get a visa -
Morocco. When he returned to Mauritania a week
later, he couldnt believe his eyes. They were selling
visas at the border. And thev were $5 cheaper than the
visas in Morocco!
During his journey Graham was never seriously ill.
And nobody stole anlthing particularlyvaluable from
him. However, he was arrested twice. Once in Cape
Verde, when the police thought he was transporting
immigrants. And again in the Congo, for being a spy!
On both occasions he spent slx days in jail.
He had some bad times but many more good times.
Above all, he learned how hospitable people can be.
One time when he was travelling on a night bus in Iran,
he saw an old woman who was talking on her phone.
She handed it to him. It was the woman's grandson.
'My grandmother's worried because the bus arrives
very earlyi he explained in English. 'She wants to invite
you home to make you breakfastl Graham n66antarl tha
invitation.
Finally, after three years, ten months and twenty-one
days Graham arrived in the 2l't and final country on
his odyssey. It was South Sudan, the newest state in the
world, a country that didnt even exist rvhen he started
his journey.

we got to the top but the view was spectacular. On

Like Lithuania, Wales is a small countr5/ but
people are veqr open and friendly. For example,
everlrone smiles and says 'hello' when you pass
them on the street - it made a reag positive

My favourite breaktast is bogobe. There
aren't many things that are so delicious.
It's porridge with some milk, a little
sugar and a few pieces of melon. We
eat a lot of fruit in Botswana, especially
watermelons. In my family, we all drink
bush tea for breakfast. lt comes from
the Rooibos plant and it's a lovely red
colour. lt's very good for you. You can't
drink too much bush tea. I don't put any
milk in my tea but you can if you like.

For breakfast, we have some cheese,
a few olives, some fresh tomatoes or
cucumbers and lots of white bread with
some butter and a bit of honey or jam.
A lot of people eat breakfast in caf6s or
pastry shops. We don't drink any coffee
with breakfast, we drink tea. Our word
for breakfast, kahvalti, means 'before
coffee'.

During the week, I don't eat much food

Iam writing to complain about the quatity of the

On 3 August this year, I purchased a set of
BestChef knives from your website. lt arrived on
time, but when I opened the box, I found a set of
teaspoons. This was most inconvenient because
I need the knives for my cottege course.
I returned the set of spoons immedjatety and sent
an emailexplaining why. I received an automated
response. Two weeks later a package arrived.
Unfortunatetv, the package contained the same
set of spoons as beforel I catted your company to
complain but didn't manage to speak to anyone.
To make matters worse, I had to pay forthe calts.
I feetyou shoutd improve the quality of your
service. In your returns poticy on your website you
promise a prompt refund or exchange if anything
is unsatisfactory but sad[y, that is not true. This is
unacceptable. You shoutd also emptoy people to
answer emaits and phone catls instead of using
automated responses.
I be[ieve vou should send me the knives I ordered
with a refund of f89 as comoensation for the
inconvenience that it caused. | look forward to

It's living without unnecessary things. lYy flat used
to be really messy, but then I read a greatJapanese
book called The Llife-Chonging Mogic of Tidying Up*.
It changed my life. You should read it.
No, you have to get rid of a lot but you mustn't
get rid of everything. You have to keep some
things but you should only keep things you really
like. You shouldn't hold onto things for sentimental
reasons. Don't keep that sweater just because it
was a present from your gran. We all have lots of
things we never use. You don't need more than
three shirts, or four palrs of trousers, or one
spoon, one mug, one bowl ...

You don't have to throw them ln the bin. You could
give them to friends or donate them to a charity
shop like I do.
It's good. You don't have to spend so much time
cleaning or tidying up because you don't have so
many things. But you must be organised. You mustn't
leave things lying around on sut{aces. I live in a tiny
flat but it's neat and tidy: there's a place for everything
and everything is in its place. When your home is
tidy, you feel happier. Another advantage is that if you
don't buy stuff you don't need, you can afford to
buy good quallty, so you have beautiful things that
you love instead of rubbish you don't really like.

IMM& CARTIi?
The suburbs of a town in San Bernardino County,
CaIifornia; vittages in Greece and Costa Rica; a city in
0kinawa, Japan; a sma[[ town in Sardinia. At first sight,
these ptaces are very different. Some of them are in the
most developed countries in the world, while in others
the way of tife hardty ever seems to change. But Dan
Buettner, an American writer and exolorer, noticed that
these very different places have one thing in common:
peop[e there have a good chance of Iiving to be a hundred
t0 years old or more. He catled these ptaces 'blue zones' and
decided to spend time with the peop[e who Iived there to
try to find out the secret to their [ong lives.
The first thing Dan noticed about the inhabitants of btue
zones was their heatthy diet. They eat a lot of fruit and
15 vegetables. They don't eat much meat but get their protein
from beans, [entils or nuts. They don't eat many dairy
products, either. Their diets are [ow in sugar and sa[t. And
they don't consume a lot of fast food or soft drinks.
i
Secondly, Dan noticed something very interesting, not
20 about what the peop[e ate, but how they ate. In'blue zones,
peopte often have two meats a day, not three, and they
don't usualty have snacks between meals. They stop eating
when they no longer feel hungry - not when they feet
'futI up'. They don't go on diets but often go
without food for
25 a day or during a speciaI time of year. Most importantty, in
btue zones peopte see food as a gift and meals as a special
time. They switch off TVs or smartphones and give thanks
before they eat. Then they sit, eat, taIk, take their time and
enjoy their food.
30 Another thing that Dan noticed was that peopte tiving in btue
zones across the wortd a[[ seem to share certain habits
in their lifestytes. They get exercise naturalty by working
outdoors. They stay f it by watking (not driving). And they
sleep wel[ (seven or eight hours a night, usuatty)
35 Finatty, Dan found that the inhabitants of btue zones in a[[
those different places around the world have a similar
way of looking at tife. They are generatly optimistic. Many
of them believe that a 'higher power' is looking after them.
And nearly a[[ of them feeI they be[ong to a [arger group.
40 Community is very important to them. Neighbours, friends
and famity come together often, and people f rom different
generations (for example grandparents and grandchitdren)
have a lot of contact with each other, 0[der peop[e are
important and respected members of the community.
TE
Dan returned to America, where he writes and gives talks on
the [essons he [earned from talking to peopte in blue zones.
He believes it's never too [ate to change how we live for the
better - because, as the Chinese say, 'tive wet[, tive Iong ...'

Do you sometimes feel that your life is hard - that you have to
spend too much time at school, and you have to do too much
homework in the eveningsi Perhaps you also have to help at
home and do household chores? Or maybe you think life's unfair
because you can't always see your friends when you want to?
Well, you're lucky you didn't live in rnedieval timesl
In the fifteenth and skteenth centuries, children in northern
Europe usually lived at home with their parents until they were in
their early teens. Then manyparents sent their teenagers to work
as servants or apprentices in other people's hornes, often a long
way away and for a verylong time.

the same key word or its synonym.

2 Forrnanyteenagers
itwas an unhappy
experience. The food
and living conditions
were often teuible. ButiJ
the teenagers didn't like
theirnewhomes, they
couldn't go back to live
with their parents. They
were only allowed to go
home on special occasions. And since only few of them knew
how to write, they couldn't even keep in touch with their friends
or families. They couldn't go to school or study because they had
to work long hours doing hard physical work in the house or in
the fields. Most of them had no choice in their job or profession,
so often they had to do things they werent interested in. In
their new homes, it was often dfficult for thern to rnake friends
and when they got olde1, they werent allowed to rnarry. What's
rnore, their masters could punish them at any tirne. So it wasn't
surprising that sorne apprentices ran away to look for a better life.
Howevel, it wasnt all bad. Some teenagers had good relationships
with theirmasters and theirnewfamilies. And apprentices could
learn a trade, for exarnple, making clothes, jewellery or bread.
They could earn money, rnake useful contacts for their fufure
careers and learn to be independent.

3 n I usedto be rather disorganised.

tE When there is something
I reatly needto do, like prepare
for abig test, I try to save time
and avoid dtstractions. For
example, I simpty turn off my
phone. This way, I don't get
messages that I think I have to
readimmediately, and I don't
look at pictures my friends post
ontine. These things can woit
until I have some free time.
Then I can work or study without
thinking about anything e[se.
I often left important tasks untitthe
last minute and felt very stressed.
So now, when I am busy, I usually make
o list of things I have to do. At the top
of the list I put the most important
things which reatty can't wait, like
schoolwork or buying a present for
a f riend's birthday. This reatty h etps m e
to focus on what's most imoortont.
And I never forget to ptan time for my
hobbies because this is essentiat, too.

Z n there are afew things I do

to manage my time. For examp[e,
I usualty keep my work with me.
5o, if I have to wait somewhere or
travel by bus, I con use this time to
do some exercises or read a book
for schoot. What really helps me,
though, is using acalendar.
I write the date when I must finish
t
something and check that I do
everything before that day.

In pairs, say how often these are true for you - often,
sometimes ot never,
1 lfeeIl don't have time for anything.
2 | do everything at the last moment.
3 | don't have time to rest.
4 | waste time on unimportant things.
2,36 Listen to a conversation between John and
Peter and answer the questions.
I Who do you think has better grades?
2 Who has more free time?
3 Are you more like John or Peter? How do you feel
about this?
4 In pairs, read the opinions about planning your time.
Do you agree or disagree with them?
I When we don't have a plan, we usua[[y do nothing.
2 P[anning takes too much time.
3 When you have a list of things to do, you don't have to

don't, you have to pay more, e.g. 5100.
Afterulards, you nominate at least three
communtcate, other people to carry out the challenge.
It's not ctear exactly where the challenge
but like most started, but it went viral in the summer
of 2014. Att around the world peopte were
things in life they posting about it on social media websites
and uploading videos. The videos were
have their ups short and fun to watch. By August 2014
there were 2.4 mittion lce Bucket videos
and their downs. just on Facebook.

Cetebrities tike basketbat[ star LeBron

GETTING WET FOR
A GOOD CAUSE
Woutd you tike to throw a bucket of ice-
cold water on your head? Probably not.
But if you accept the lce Bucket Challenge,
that's what you do. Not for fun, but to
hetp find a cure for motor neurone disease
(MND)*, an itlness that destroys the
neurones that control muscte movement
and is usually deadty in 2-4 years.
James, singer Lady Gaga and Facebook
boss Mark Zuckerberg joined in. President
Obama didn't accept the challenge but he
did donate 5100.
The chattenge was a huge success. One
MND organisation in the US received
over 5100 million in just one month. And
it hasn't finished. Campaigners have
promised to keep repeating the challenge
untilthere's a cure for MND.
* Also called ALS (amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis)

FOMO-AMODER,NANXIETY
How often do you check your phone every day? Twenty, fifty,
eighty times? Surveys have shown that the average person
checks their phone about seventy times a day. And you might
not believe it but some peopte spend up to nine hours a day
using social media or online video or music.
We a[[ want to post comments, fotlow cetebrities and know
what's going on with our friends. Social media can make
our lives fu[[ and exciting. However, research also shows a
worrying trend. Some people can't stop checking their social
media sites. They do it att the time - sometimes hundreds
of times a day. Lots of us know that we look at our phones
too often and try to control it. But when you reatty can,t stop
checking, it's a problem. lt distracts us from other things and
it can make us stressed. Scientists have given this probtem
a name. lt's called FOMO. This stands for Fear Of Missing
Out! Three chitdren in every classroom today may have this
orobtem.
People who have FOMO feet they need to check their social
media sites atl the time. They have a real fear that they witl
miss something new, interesting or important. Perhaps
a friend has met a new boyfriend, a celebrity has talked about
his new film or there's a funny video about a new dance craze
trending? The problem is that on social media there is always
something new so this person needs to
check again and again. A habit has turned into an obsession.
Do you know someone who starts and finishes
their day with social media updates? Do they
get irritated easi[y and dissatisfied with their
lives? Do they get
anxious if they
can't check their
phone? Then this
person probabty
has FOMO. And
they might need
hetp.

3.28
David Garrett began playing the violin when he was
four. By the time he was seven, he was performing in
concerts. He was a soloist in an orchestra at nine. And
when he was eleven, he had already started recording
s for a record company: their youngest-ever artist.
For years he'd played a borrowed Stradivarius. He'd 3s which was light and comfortable but not strong. Before
tried many violins but had never found one he really
wanted to buy. However, after leaving college, he
finally found the instrument he wanted. lt was a
1o beautiful violin made by Guadagnini in 1772.
The violin cost almost one million pounds. David had
to borrow the money, and for years every penny he
earned went to pay for the violin. When he made the
last payment in December 2007, he felt he'd become
15 a real musician. The Guadagnini was his. He loved it
as if they were in a relationship. Thatl not surprising
when you think that every day David spends more time
rehearsing with his violin than he does sleeping.
Two weeks after buying the Guadagnini violin, he

concert hall with the London Philharmonic. His family

together before flying to Germany for Christmas.
When David had finished his performance, he lovingly

like a backpack and ran out of the theatre.
It had been a rainy day. The ground was wet. He was

Suddenly, he slipped and fell all the way down the
30 steps on his back.
o David Garett was born in Germanv in
1980. He is one of the mostfamoui
and talented violinists in the wortd.
He plays both ctassicat and pop music,
has performed with the wortd,s best
orchestfas and has recorded more
than twenty atbums.
. The ltatian Stradivarifamily made
viotins in the seventeenth and
eighteenth centuries. Today most
expefts consider Stradivarius violins
to be the best in the world. They are
very rafe and can be worth millions
of dottars.
o Giovanni Guadagnini was an
eighteenth-century viotin maker.
He may be the third gfeatest violin
maker in history.
He didn't get up immediately. His family rushed over
and asked if he was alright. But at that moment, he
didn't care if he was hurt. His only thought was the
violin. He'd landed with all his weight on the case,
he opened it, he knew the violin hadn't survived, but
the damage was worse than he had imagined;the body
was completely broken.
His sister was crying. But David didn't shout or cry, he
40 just stared. He was in shock.
After a while, he called a violin-expert friend and
asked him to come. The exoert took one look at the
Guadagnini and said that the most important thing was
that David was all right and that there would be other

SPEAKTNG Asking for and giving advice
WRlflNG A story

Holmes is the most famous detective in fiction.

Qherlock
L)He was created in 1887 by British author Sir Arthur
Conan Doyle, who wrote four novels and fifty-six short An illu$ation olshellock Homes
ftom 1904
stories involving Holmes and his partner, Doctor Watson. Since then over rzo authors
have written Sherlock Holmes stories. The London detective has also starred in more
than zoo films and has been played by over seventy actors. There have been Sherlock
theatre and radio plays, TV series, childrent cartoons, comics and video games. Even
the word'Sherlock' is used for someone who makes brilliant deductions.

But Sherlock wasnt the first fictional detective. That honour belongs to Edgar Allan
Poet creation C. Auguste Dupin. Holmes'first case, 'A Study in Scarlet,'wasnt
written until forty-six years after Poe's r84r story'The Murders in the Idue MorEre'. In
fact, Dupin was created before the word'detective' even existed.

Another inspiration might be Maximilien Heller. It is not known if Doyle read this r8p
novel by Henry Cauvain, but like Holmes, Heller was a brilliant private detective who tamous Blitisn
Basil nambone as me
used science and logic to find clues and solve crimes; he smoked a pipe and loved cats, nm
detectiYe in a 1939
and, like Holmes', his adventures were narrated by a doctor. Was Holmes based on
Heller? Perhaps. Make your own deductions.

Studying in Britain is very expensive these days. Students
have to pay the university for their teaching each year

 ESPOT 2
Fabio Gabbani cornes from
Italy and is studying
Economics at Brunel
University London. Here's
his guide to some of the
strange words and
phrases a visitor
to Britain will
definitety hear a lot.
C Atl right?'
When I started university, I was surprised at how often
people in my group asked me Att right?'when they saw
me. I felt very lucky to have such caring friends who
were atways asking if I was OK! I often used to answer by
telting them what was happening in my tife, good and bad.
But I quickly learned that All right?'is just another way
of saying'Hi' or'Hello.'The 'correct'way to answer isn't to
talk about your problems - you should simpty shout back
All right, matel' ('mate' or 'bruv' mean 'friend', by the way.)
You also often hear'Hiya' or even 'Yo!'instead of 'Hi.'

A 'Sorry'
In most countries, people say sorry when they've
done something wrong and it's their fautt. British
people seem to use the word 'sorry' all the time! If
you drop something, a British person will say, 'Sorry,
I think you dropped something.' If you phone the
wrong number, the other person will say, 'Sorry,
I think you've got the wrong number.' When I first
came here, I often asked myself, 'Why are they
saying sorry to me? It's not their fautt!' I realise now
that the British don't like conftict with people they
don't know, so they think it helps to say'sorry' a lot.
In fact, 'sorry' is a typically British way to start
tatking to a stranger (like'Excuse me').
D 'Cheers!'
Sometimes when you watch fitms in English, you hear
actors say 'Cheers' ('Your good health'), usually before
they have a drink. But 'Cheers' is another word that young
British people say very often - it's a popular way to say
'Thanks.' People also sometimes say'Ta!' or'Nice one!' to
mean 'Thank you' in informal situations. No wonder people
say the Brits are hard to understand!

sorryto intcrruPtt
but i(s a bit louo{.

B A bit'
Like 'sorry,' 'a bit' is another thing British
people say a lot. 'It's a bit cotd!' 'The film was
a bit long.' 'The party was a bit boring.' A
dictionary tells you that 'a bit'means 'a little,'
but British people often use this expression
to politely criticise. So, if someone says your
conversation is 'a bit loud,' it probably means
it's too loud and you should be quieter.
1s6
I

E 'What happened to the summer?'
'lt's too hot!' 'Will this rain end ever end?' 'What
happened to the summer?' 'Nice weather for
ducks!'These are some of the fascinating
conversations I have when I meet my neighbours
on the street. When I first came here, I was
rurprised that everyone wants to talk about
the weather. But now I know why. Firstly, the
weather really does change a lot from day to day.
Secondly, British people talk about the weather
because it's a good way to be friendly without
asking personal questions. By the way, the
'correct'way to answer when someone comments
on the weather - and you agree - is to say'I
know!' in a happy voice.
F 'Very interesting'
In most countries in the world, it's a good thing
to say clearly and honestly what you think. In
Britain, this can be shocking or even a sign of
bad character. Most British people don't tike to
say'No' or that something is 'bad.'They prefer
to use 'diplomatic'language because they think
it will be less upsetting for the other person.
So, if a British friend says your photographs are
'quite good' or the new song you've written is
'interesting,' they're probably telling you politely
that they don't think it's very good!
GTOSSARY

About the only class I liked was lunch, but I guess you
couldn't call that a class. At this school, there was
a cafeteria with nine or ten different things to eat an'
I'd have trouble makin' up my mind what I wanted.
I think somebody said somethin', 'cause after a week or
so Coach Fellers come up to me an' told me to just go
ahead an' eat all I wanted 'cause it been 'taken care of.'
Hot damn!
The football was not goin' exactly how Coach Fellers
wanted. He seemed displeased a lot an'was always
shoutin' at people. He shouted at me too.Then one
day a event happen that changed everything. In the
cafeteria, I started to notice this other guy was there
15 a lot too, an'he starts makin'wisecracks 'bout me.
Sayin' things like 'Howls Dumbo?'. And this continued
for a week or two, an' I was sayin' nothin', but finally
I says - I can't believe I said it even now - but I says,
'I ain't no Dumbo,' an' the guy jus' looked at me an'
starts laughin'. An' he takes a carton of milk an'
pours it in my lap an' I jump up an' run out 'cause
I was scared.
A day or so later, that guy come up to me in the hall
an' says he's gonna'get' me. Later that afternoon, when
I was leaving to go to the grm, there he is, with
a bunch of his friends. I tried to go the other way,
but he starts pushin' me. An' then he hit me in the
stomach. It didn't hurt so much, but I was starLin' to
cry and I tumed an'begun to run, an'heard him
behind me an' the others was runnin' after me too.
I jus' run as fast as I could toward the g1rm, across the
practice football field an' suddenly I seen Coach Fellers
watchin'me.The guys who was chasin' me stop and go
away, an' Coach Fellers, looks at me with a peculiar
look on his face. That aftemoon at the football practice,
he puts everybody in two teams an' tells the
quarterback to give me the ball.When I get the ball, I'm
s'posed to run, and run, all the way to the goal line.
When they all start chasin'me, I run fast as I can.
We'd run a lot of races before, to see how fastwe could
run, but I get a lot faster when I'm bein' chased. I guess
anybodywould. Anyvay,l become a lot more popular
after that, an' the other guys on the team started bein'
nicer to me. We had our first game an' I was scared to
death, but they grve me the ball an' I run with the ball
over the goal line two or three times an'people was
even kinder to me after that. That high school certainly
begun to change things in my life. It even got to where
I liked to runwith the football.
