the Baltic Sea, at about 15,000 years old.
The Earth is always changing because ofvolcanoes,
earthquakes and, of course, wind and rain. Some of
these changes are very slow and others are quick.
Water and ice can make very big changes to the
planet. For example, glaciers (rivers of ice) can cut
through mountains and make lakes and deep
valleys. Eighty or more volcanoes are under the
oceans and sometimes they become new islands.
This is happening in the South Pacific, near Tonga.
It's normal for our planet to change, but at the
moment, scientists think it's changing faster than
usual. They don't understand everything that's
happening, but they know that some deserts
(places where it doesn't rain much) are growing,
and many forests are getting smaller. The weather
is getting wetter in some places and drier in others,
and there are more big storms.

0 However, these changes are not bad for everyone.

Because the Arctic is getting warmer, some people in
Greenland now own businesses and sell vegetables
they grow on their land. That wasn't possible so far
north 50 years ago. Farmers in Greenland like the
warm weather and hope it will continue.

When I planned my trip to China, one of things I really

wanted to do was to work at the Dujiangyan Panda Base in
Chengdu. I spent seven days there, looking after the pandas,
giving them food and cleaning their enclosures.

While I was there, I learned a lot about pandas. Wild pandas live
in bamboo forests, high in the mountains of central China. In the
past, they also lived in other parts of China and in Myanmar and Q
Vietnam, but they don't any more. They spend about 12 hours
a day eating bamboo, but they sometimes eat other plants
or small animals. At Dujiangyan, we also gave them fruit, like
apples, and special panda cakes made of rice, eggs and flour
and other things.
Adult giant pandas weigh between 75 and 135 kilograms. dolphin elephant giraffe
Females usually only have one baby panda, or cub, at a time. monkey parrot penguin
The cubs only weigh about 85 grams when they are born! The polar bear snake
little cub drinks milk for about four months and then begins to tiger whale

18 months.

1 Who are the new BMXers?
2 Do they like racing or 'freestyle' BMX?

Olivia, aged 15, has long, brown hair. She's smart and
confident, and the way she was smiling showed how much she
loved it. How did she first become interested in BMX?
Although all the racers were boys, she knew instantly it was the
sport for her. 'It's not harder for girls to get into the sport,' she
said - anyone can do it. 'BMX gives you knowledge. When you
come to the track, you learn something new every day.'
So what is a BMX? A BMX is a bike with small wheels and a
low seat. Small wheels actually go faster than big wheels at
speeds of up to 20 km/h. 2 . These mean that a bike

 1 Discuss the questions with your partner.
1 Do you like playing or watching football?
2 Do many girls and women play football in your country?
3 Do you ever watch girls or women playing football on TV or live?
0 In 1920, there was a match between two women's football
teams at Everton's football ground in Liverpool. Around 53,000
people went to watch it! Just a few years earlier, during the First
World War, many men were fighting abroad. This meant there were
no football players and no important games. People loved the sport
and wanted to watch it, so women started to play. Some of the
best players, such as Lily Parr, are still famous today. She became
famous when she was only 14 and scored 43 goals in one season.
A year later, in 1921, the Football Association (FA) decided
to stop women's football because they thought it was not a sport
that women should play for payment. Fifty years later, in 1971,
women could finally play football as a profession and not just as a
hobby. However, it wasn't urJtil 1993 that the English FA recognised
international women's football. After that, women could play in
competitions with other countries.

0 Nowadays, nearly three million girls
and women play football in the UK, and there
are 100,000 registered players who can play
official tournaments. There are only about 200
professional players, and many have to do
other work to earn enough money, but you can
often see women's football on television. They
sometimes play in really famous places, such
as Wembley Stadium in London.

In schools, girls and boys play football
in the playground - there are teams with both
boy and girl players. Recently, all-girl teams are
playing against all-boy teams. So football is
really a sport for everyone!

each person.

I go to dance lessons with some close friends of mine. The teacher moved me to a
higher-level group, but she says my friends have to stay in the lower level. I'm worried
about moving to a new class without them. I'll really miss seeing them! What should I do?

6 Listen to four students planning a school party.
Which brainstorming method do they use?
We chose one person in our group to be the
secretary, who wrote down the ideas. We put the
ideas in lists in different columns. When" we "had lots
of ideas, we numbered them in order of importance.
Then, we crossed out the ideas we didn't like so
much. In the end, we planned a fantastic event!
In my group, we drew lots and lots of circles on the
page. Then, we took turns to put an idea in each
bubble or circle. We didn't write sentences. Instead,
we wrote one or two words which expressed our
idea, although some people drew a picture. Some
of the ideas were crazy, but it was fun to see things
that other people thought were important.
We decided to draw a circle in the middle of the
page and write the topic in the centre. Then, we
drew lines which connected the middle circle
to the other circles. Each of the circles contained
ideas about a different part of the topic. It was
good because everyone knew different pieces of
information, like names or places, so when we
finished, we had a lot to write about.
Ciroup D
Each person in the class wrote one idea on a card.
Then, we put all the cards on the board at the back

ideas together in groups on the board and then we

UNIT 8 47

Most teenagers receive pocket money every
week. But not everyone gets the same amount of
money. Have you asked your friends how much
they get? You might be surprised. And if you're a girl
you'll be amazed to learn that boys often get more
than girls of the same age!
Teenagers up to the age of about 15 in the
UK have about £5 a week in pocket money. But in
Italy, France and Spain, the same age group gets
about€9, which is a bit more. In the US, pocket
money is called 'an allowance: Most teenagers get
an allowance of about $30, which is more than
£20 or€25.
Quite a lot of teenagers do.They have to do
things in the house, like washing-up and cleaning
and then they get their pocket money. If they
don't do the jobs, they don't get the money. Some
teenagers have part-time jobs too, which means
they have more than their pocket money to spend
each week.
You might be surprised at the
answer. Teenagers in the UK spend more
of their money on food than on clothes.
Is that true for you too? Teens do more
shopping online than before and online
clothes shopping is cheaper. So perhaps
this is one reason they don't
spend so much on clothes.
Some parents do!
They only let them buy some
things. Other parents want
their teens to save all their
pocket money and spend
it on something big in the
future, or not spend it at all.

50 LIFE SKILLS
first word
H ave you ever thought about how babies
learn to speak? For the first months of their
lives, they e,y and make noises, but, in general,
children start forming words when they are
about 12 months old. Which are the first words
they say? Sometimes, they are the words they hear
most often, sometimes the words for things they like.
They usually start with words like mama, papa or dada.
Some scientists say that sounds like ma, da, pa and ba
are the easiest sounds to make, so when parents are
very happy because their child is saying mama, in fact
the baby is just experimenting with making noises!
All children begin learning their language first by listening
and then speaking. They start with words for objects,
like car or dog, then verbs for actions, like drink or eat,
slowly adding other kinds of words to make sentences.
They can understand more difficult words and
sentences, but they can't say them. Some children
speak more than others Oust like adults!) and some
children speak earlier than others, but by practising,
they all learn in the end.
One mother tells the story of her son who
didn't speak until he was four years old.
Before then, he pointed when he wanted
something or just made strange noises.
One day, he came into the kitchen for
breakfast and said, 'Can I have some
chocolate cereal, please?' And then, he
never stopped chatting.
So when you start to learn another language,
remember ttiarit oo years for you to learn­
yours! If you keep listening and trying hard
to speak, you improve, just like in your
own language.

54 UNIT 9
 This is me with my new bike- before the accident! Have you ever fallen off your bike and hurt
yourself? Well, here's my story.
It was my birthday (thanks for all the texts) and this amazing bike was my present. I went for a ride
by myself along the bike path. The path isn't usually busy. But that day there were two cyclists
coming towards me. I slowed down as quickly as possible but I forgot it was a new bike with good
brakes! I stopped really suddenly and fell off. I hit my ankle and it really hurt. The two cyclists
rode past and didn't stop. I sat on the ground and watched their backs as they rode away. They
were enjoying themselves too much to think about me! I got up by myself and picked up my bike,
which luckily was OK. My heart was beating fast as I cycled slowly home and people were looking
at me! When I got there I found out why- there was blood all over my T-shirt from a cut on my ear.

56 UNIT 9
 Everyone tells you it's not healthy to sit at the computer all day. For one
thing, it's very lonely and can make you feel lazy. But doing too much
sport can also be bad for you. Your body is still young, so you shouldn't
do too much exercise. You can easily hurt something. About an hour of
sport a day is right for a teenager. You should also think about when you
do sport. For example, you can get a stomach ache if you play tennis just
after you've eaten.

Everyone feels unhappy from time to time, so you're not alone. Don't
be surprised. It's normal for your feelings to change at your age. Is there
something you're worried about? Find a friendly person to talk to, like
your mum or dad or a teacher. You might get a bit embarrassed, but you'll
be glad that you did. If you talk about your problems, they aren't so bad.

The answer to this is yes! I'm sure you know that a plate of fruit is better
for you than a plate of chips! But what your growing body, your heart and
your brain need is variety. If you are careful and eat a bit of everything,
then you are healthier. Don't forget fresh fruit, vegetables and eggs! Eating
a variety of healthy food gives you energy and can help you feel confident
about studying and doing exams.

Look at the pictures of the books and try to guess
what they are about. Read the texts quickly to
check your ideas.
We asked three readers to tell us about a funny
book they enjoyed - here's what they told us.
U@rJIII� ......
My mum bought this for me for
my birthday and I knew from the
picture on the front and the title
that I was going to love it. I read it
in just two days and I was really
sad when I got to the end. The
story is about a girl who has to
help her family by getting back some stolen
paintings - I found it really exciting! I'm now a
huge fan of the author, Ally Carter - I have all her
other books on my shelf ready for the summer.
In my opinion, this is one of the
funniest books ever written for
teenagers. It's about a 15-year­
old boy who wants to start a rock
band, but the adults in his life all
try to stop him. Nothing goes right
for him until the very end of the
story. The writer is also an artist and
the clever drawings on each page help the story
along. Unfortunately, the cover makes it look like
it's for little kids, which is a shame as it might
stop some teenagers from picking it up.
I got this book for a great price in my local store.
It's a funny story about a terrible girl who has to
learn to be a better person. It's
the first time I've tried this kind
of book, but I really enjoyed it. Of
course, it's not perfect - I wasn't
happy with what happens in the
last few pages. But it was a lot of
fun, and I think I'll probably read
more like it in the future.

� Everything is so different from when I was a teenager.
Technology is the greatest change. I had a computer - but only for
games, really. And I remember my dad's first mobile phone in the car
- it was huge! But the internet and smartphones changed teenage
life forever. We wrote letters; they are texting each other all day. We
bought a few CDs every month; they've got almost every song in the
world - in a tiny device in their pocket! When we moved home, we
often never saw old friends again. Now it's simple to stay in contact
with anyone, anywhere. To me, teenage life looks more exciting than
it was.
Not everything is positive, of course. I don't think teenagers now are
as healthy as we were in the past. They don't do enough exercise.
Without technology, we were more active and spent a lot of our free
time outside. Roads were safer, of course, but it's unbelievable to
think that often our parent·
didn't have any idea
where we were!
r:t:ifU7 Yes, technology makes our lives easier and is
now essential for entertainment and school. But it
brings problems too - the worst are awful things like
bullying on social media ...
My problem is that teenage life is too busy now.
On weekdays, as well as normal lessons, there are
clubs at lunchtimes. Then after school on Mondays
I have Spanish lessons, trumpet on Wednesdays
and our band practises on Fridays. And weekends
are just not long enough! On Saturday there's yoga
club and on Sunday we often see relatives. Then
there's homework, of course. Sometimes I'm
exhausted on Sunday evenings!
The future will be harder for us, too. And I get
worried about that. My friends and I feel the most
important thing is to get a good degree - or
we won't be able to leave home and get a job.
And that means we have to get good marks in
everything now. It's stressful.
I think my parents' teenage years were more
relaxed than ours are today.

Read the text quickly. Did you think of the three ways that Kameron suggests?

My best friend and I have just appeared in a film! It sounds unbelievable, but the truth is: it
was easy. We were extras, and anyone can be an extra. Extras act in films or TV shows, but
they aren't the main actors. They might be people who are chatting in a restaurant, walking
down a street or playing sports. Sometimes, with smaller films, people are happy to work
for free as extras. Although you don't get paid, you get to hang out with cool people, learn
about film making and support a local director. Also, film companies provide great lunches!

1 Answer the questions.

1 What do you think British people eat in a typical day?
2 What do you know about traditional British dishes?
3 Do you think British food is very different from food in your country?

2 Read the text quickly. Match the underlined food to photos A-G.

Many tourists are quite surprised by all the delicious food they can find
in the UK. In the past, many visitors had a bad opinion of British cooking,
but that was often because they ate in cheap restaurants that only served
food for tourists. Fortunately, things have changed in recent years and now
tourists can find many types of good quality food all over the country.

---����� Typical favourites

You can find excellent traditional British food in the thousands
of cafes, restaurants and takeaways around the UK. A typical
cafe dish, and perhaps the best-known abroad, is the 'full
English breakfast'. That's eggs, sausage, tomatoes, beans and
fried bread. If you want something hot for lunch in a cafe, try
the meat or vegetarian pies on offer.
A classic summer dish is ploughman's lunch, which is a
cold dish of bread, butter, cheese, pickled onion and salad.
On Sundays, it's typical to have a roast dinner with friends
and family. Roast beef, lamb or chicken is served with potatoes and boiled
vegetables such as carrots and broccoli, and gravy is poured on top. Gravy is a
thick, brown sauce and it's delicious!
Takeaways are really popular in the UK. These are small shops that sell hot food
that customers take home or eat on the street. Fish and chips has been a British
takeaway favourite for a long time. They fry the fish in batter (a mixture of flour
and water) and it's often served with peas, and, of course, lots of chips!

Local dishes
Many places in the UK have local specialities. In Scotland, Cullen skink is a
creamy soup with fish, potatoes, onions, and milk. In Wales, one of the most
popular dishes is called Welsh rarebit. It's hot cheese on toast. And for dessert
you can try some bara brith. It's a sweet bread with fruit and spices.

International options
Since the 1950s, many immigrants have come to Britain from all over the world
and they have brought lots of international dishes with them: curry from India and
Pakistan, pizza and pasta from Italy, along with dishes from China, Japan, Egypt,
Mexico and many other places. Curry, in particular, has become so popular that
it is often called a 'national dish' of the UK.
With all of these choices, tourists nowadays won't have any problems eating in
the UK. Their biggest challenge will be deciding what to eat!

WordPowr is all about learning words -
nouns, verbs, everything. There are eight
games, which are very enjoyable, but the best
m
part is that you can also play online against other users.
At less than the price of a coffee, the app is great value
for money. Games last just a few minutes, so it's perfect
for a bus ride. Turn down the annoying music, though!
Although EnglishScene is expensive, the app
is often given awesome reviews by its users.
As soon as you use it, you can understand
why. Everything about this app is professional,
from the high-quality and interesting video stories,
with challenging activities to support students in
Cl
understanding them, to the simple, but attractive design.
Newscast is a professional-looking app that
helps you understand the news in English.
m
You listen to and read stories, do some typical
exercises about new words, even a little grammar, and
then answer the questions. Each activity takes between
five and ten minutes and is surprisingly hard.
Practise the 3000 most frequent words in
English with PassWords3000. This app is for
low-level students working by themselves and
includes a very common range of activity types. It's free,
so sometimes you have to watch video advertisements
to continue using it. New questions are added
every month.
Read about four more teenagers who want apps to help
them with learning English. Underline three key pieces of
information about each person.
2 Anna enjoys all subjects but she needs more help with
English vocabulary and grammar. She is bored of doing
traditional exercises and is looking for an app with
activities that are quick to complete.
3 Luis would like to get better at understanding movies and
TV shows in English. He expects apps to look good and is
prepared to spend money on the right one.
4 Evie's interested in developing and revising her
vocabulary. She likes fun activities and she really enjoys
competing against friends.
5 Filipe is an advanced level student and he would like an
app to help him revise grammar. He doesn't want to pay
for an app.
Read the descriptions of the apps (A-H). Decide which
app would be the most suitable for each teenager in
Exercise 3. There are three apps you don't need.
E
Languagelab costs nothing, but will be of
limited interest to anyone except high-level
language learners. The grammar reference for
each topic is full of important details but the practice
that follows is fairly typical. The app also allows you to
compare your progress with friends on social networks.
The design of VidEnglish isn't always clear
and it seems to be mainly links to very high­
level video clips from documentaries. The
clips aren't downloaded with the app, so it's best to
use when you have free wi-fi. There is a basic dictionary
and the app is completely free, with no advertisements.
The first thing you notice with GrammarWise
is its professional-looking design. Everything
about this app is easy to use. There are fun,
animated grammar presentations and a huge choice of
practice activities, with over 50 different grammar topics
per level. You can try one topic for free but it costs to
get access to the whole app.
Themez is a fresh and unusual app. It uses
games to teach grammar and vocabulary
through topics like science and history. The
app is perfect for when you only have a few minutes to
practise, but at the moment you can only play by yourself.

If you really want to meet a new online friend,
you should always tell your parents first. They
should know where you're going, and they
may want to accompany you the first time.
Think very carefully before you share any
personal photos or videos online. Just pause
for a moment and ask yourself, 'Do I really
want everyone in the world to see this?'
If you use social media, you shouldn't write
nasty comments about people or the things
they post online. Respect their feelings
and don't be mean. You wouldn't want
someone to say those things about you!
If you have any problems with other
people online, ask an adult for help. It's
better to talk with someone as soon as

from adults and have a go at their jobs. They're in charge for just one day! Of course, it's difficult to
make someone into a film or music celebrity. However, Takeover Challenge has offered young people
the chance to be TV presenters, sports coaches, journalists, teachers and even politicians.
The event has two aims. Firstly, it gives young people experience in a wide range of jobs. Secondly,
adults can learn from young people's opinions and fresh ideas.

Read the article again. Are the sentences true or false?

1 Scientists can't fully explain optical illusions.
2 Akiyoshi Kitaoka designed his optical illusion for a car advertisement.
3 Alexander McQueen only made one of his striped 'optical illusion' dresses.
4 Animals use optical illusion to hunt for food.
5 The road safety illusions have been successful.
6 The plate illusion means it is probably healthier to use larger
plates instead of smaller ones.
In advertising, optical illusions are useful to get
people to pay attention. Look at this picture
by Akiyoshi Kitaoka, a Japanese professor of
Psychology. Kitaoka created it while he was
making a New Year's card for his family and
friends. The picture was later used in a car
advertisement. Can you guess why?

On roads, several countries have used optical

illusions to encourage people to drive more safely.
For instance, these pedestrian crossings were
painted on roads in China. From a distance, they
look 3D and the research shows that this causes
drivers to go more slowly near the crossings.

In fashion, optical illusions are used to change our

appearance. This dress was designed by the famous
fashion designer, Alexander McQueen. But it wasn't
designed just to look good. The narrow black and white
lines create an illusion, and the person appears slimmer
than they are. Several celebrities bought one.

In the natural world, some animals
need optical illusions to stay alive.
Many butterflies, snakes and spiders
are a similar colour to the place
where they live. They don't want their
enemies to see them - and eat them. They
can also use their colour to catch other
Researchers have found that one simple illusion
could help us to eat, and also waste, less food. In
experiments, the same amount of food was served on
two plates: one small and one large. When people
were asked to estimate the amount of food on each
plate, they usually said the same thing: there was
more food on the smaller plate. Restaurants sometimes

LIFE SKILLS
Identifying reliable news
We can get news from many sources. We can
ask people we know and we can turn on the
radio or TV. We can also use the internet to find
out what's happening. However, we can't trust
everything we see or hear. We need to identify
reliable sources that we can believe and trust.
1 Ask and answer the questions with a partner.
What sources of information help you stay up to date?
• my parents
• teachers and other adults
• my friends at school
• newspapers and magazines
• news on the radio or TV
• internet websites and apps
• other sources
Which sources of information above do you believe
the most? Why do you think they are better than
other sources?

Discussing a problem
1 It can be a ___ problem.
2 There have been many ___ of this.
3 It's quite an important___
4 We need a ___ to this problem.
5 People shouldn't _ _ _ fake news.
6 It'd be good to ___ it at school.
 NEWS
When people talk about fake news, they mean false
stories that we sometimes find in the media. For
example, a website might post an article with false
information about a famous celebrity. Then the story
might be shared on social media and go viral before
people realise that it's false.
In some cases, people invent fake stories to have
fun and make jokes, but fake news can also be used
to get attention. For example, websites might use
fake headlines to attract more readers so they can
earn more money. In some cases, fake news gets
more attention than real news, and that's not funny!
WHAT'S IN
OUR FOOD'?
To protect yourself against fake news stories, ask
yourself four questions: who, what, where and why.
Who wrote the story? Are they experts on the
issue? Do you trust them to tell the truth?
What do other people say? Check the facts with
other sources and people that you trust.
Where has this story appeared? Did you find it
on a website that usually tells the truth?
Why has this story appeared? Is it a joke or is
it serious? What is the writer trying to do?
Think carefully about these questions before
you share any news on social media. But
don't be too negative. Some people tell
the truth!
Actress Pippa Cox says
Present your work to the class. Then display it in
your school.
We need to know what's happening around
us in the world, and there are many ways
to get news. We can read print media, such
as newspapers and magazines, or we can
use digital media, like TV and the internet.
However, we have to think carefully about
the information those sources provide and
watch out for a problem called 'fake news'.
The phrase 'fake news' isn't new. In fact, it's more than
100 years old. And of course, rumours and false stories
have existed since people started using language!
However, fake news is becoming more common today
because modern technology makes communication
faster and easier than before.
Another negative effect of fake news is that
people can stop trusting the media because
they don't know who is really telling the truth.
Fake news stories can also damage the image
of a person or company. For instance, a fake
story about a restaurant could suggest that
its food is unhealthy or dangerous. Similarly,
fake news about other cultures makes
people feel negatively about them and
changes public opinion.
Organise an information campaign about fake
news for your school. Use the questions to help
you plan your campaign.
• Can you define fake news in a simple, clear way?
• Have there been any fake news stories in your
area?
• Why do some people believe fake news so easily?
• How can young people avoid or identify fake
news?
• How can schools help students notice fake news?
• How can websites be useful for stopping fake
news?

My home is a houseboat on a river. My parents and I have lived here since I was four, and I can't
remember living anywhere else. Lots of my friends live on houseboats too, so it feels normal to me.
We haven't got much space, but we don't mind - it's enough for us. Visitors love staying here and

My friends at school think my lighthouse home is very cool. I like it, but it's not easy living here. The

When he was 12, Luke Thill was at home during the school holidays. He was bored
and looking for a fun activity, but he didn't want to play computer games or ride
his bike. Then, he heard about people who build, and live in, very small wooden
houses. 'I decided that I wanted to build one in my garden,' he said. 'I thought if
I made enough money doing jobs for my neighbours, it might be possible.'
Luke's dad agreed to help, but he had a few rules. Luke had to pay for everything
himself and had to do most of the work. Luke describes his dad as his 'coach' and
says that working as a team brought them closer together. It took them a year and
a half to finish the house and it cost $1,500.
The house is three metres long and two metres wide. Downstairs, it has a kitchen
and sitting area with a TV, and upstairs there's a little bedroom. When he began,
Luke was already quite good at repairing things, but there was a lot he didn't
know. 'It all seems very simple to me now,' he said. 'But at the time, I had no idea
what to do.'
Luke sleeps in his house about twice a week, does homework there after school
and invites friends round. He enjoyed building his little house so much that he
plans to build a second, bigger one soon, and in a few years' time he'd like to
live in it full time.
