earthquake in the middle of the night. Even people
in Buenos Aires felt it, hundreds of kilometres
away in Argentina.
Robert: Were you sleeping when it happened?
Maria: No, I was awake. I was in the middle of writing an
e-mail to a friend when my desk started to move.
At first, I didn’t understand what was happening.
Then, I looked out of the window and saw a
crowd of people in the street. Many of them were
in their pyjamas. That’s when I realised it was an
earthquake.
Robert: What did you do next?
Maria: I tried to leave the building. A lift can be
dangerous in an earthquake so I took the stairs.
But before I could reach the front door, the
building collapsed. I was trapped inside.
Robert: Wow! You were probably very scared.
Maria: Yes, I was.
Robert: How long did it take rescue workers to find you?
Maria: About 12 hours. I called my daughter and she told
rescue workers where to find me.
Robert: So you had your mobile phone with you?
Maria: Yes, and it saved my life.
Robert: What happened after the earthquake?
Maria: I was homeless for two months. I went to live with
my daughter, who lives in Rome. But I was lucky.
I survived. Hundreds of people were killed that
night.

4. Listening (Class CD 5, Track 6):
Sue: Hi Jane, what are you reading?
Jane: Hi, Sue. I’m reading a book about satellites.
Sue: Is it interesting?
Jane: Yes, it is.
Sue: What do satellites do?
Jane: Satellites record and transmit information.
Sue: Isn’t there more than one kind of satellite?
Jane: Yes, the technology is very advanced.
Sue: Can you give me some examples?
Jane: There are weather satellites that collect information
and transmit it to weather stations. This helps
scientists predict natural disasters. If there were
no satellites, we wouldn’t always know when a
hurricane or tornado is going to hit. There are also
communication satellites. For example, have you
got satellite television?

Workbook Answer Key
Sue: Yes, and I’ve always wondered how it works.
Jane: Well, a satellite in space transmits information to
your satellite dish, which is probably on your roof.
Sue: Yes, it looks like a huge dinner plate.
Jane: You’re right.
Sue: Who invented satellites?
Jane: The Russians. They sent the first satellite, called
Sputnik, into space in 1957. It was the size of a beach
ball and it travelled around the Earth in about 98
minutes.
Sue: What about the Americans? Didn’t they have a space
programme then?
Jane: Yes, and they were working on satellite technology
at the same time. But they weren’t ready to send
a satellite into space until 1958. If the Russians
hadn’t had Sputnik, it probably would have taken the
Americans longer. They wanted to compete with the
Russians. So after Sputnik, they worked fast.

4. Listening (Class CD 5, Track 8):
Teacher: Quiet, please. I’d like to begin the lesson. Good
morning, students. Today we’re going to learn
about Op-Art, a style of art which became
popular around the 1950s. Op-Art tricks our eyes.
We think we see something, but we really see
something else. For example, look at the stairs in
this drawing. Can anyone tell me what’s strange
about them?
Cindy: They don’t go anywhere.
Teacher: That’s right, Cindy. In one part of the picture, the
soldiers are walking up the stairs. In another part,
the soldiers are walking down the stairs. But no
one is going anywhere because the stairs don’t go
anywhere.
John: Oh, now I see.
Teacher: Good, John. At first the drawing looks simple,
doesn’t it? If you don’t look carefully, you won’t
notice a problem. It’s really quite complex,
though. Does anyone know who the artist is?
John: I’ve seen this drawing before. It’s famous. Is the
artist Escher?
Teacher: Yes, it is. Escher is a Dutch artist. He is known
for impossible drawings – in other words,
drawings of things that can’t work, like the
stairs. Here’s another example of Escher’s work
– Drawing Hands.
Advanced Real English 4 © B Burlington Books
Workbook Answer Key
Cindy: Drawing Hands? I’ve seen that drawing before.
Those hands are amazing. They were drawn to
look three-dimensional.
Teacher: Yes, the hands seem to be three-dimensional, but
the picture is flat. Now let’s look at the work of a
different artist, Victor Vasarely. Vasarely is from
Hungary and he’s considered the father of
Op-Art. His work is more abstract than Escher’s.
I’ll show you an example. Tell me what you see
in the picture.
John: Black and white lines.
Teacher: Look again.
John: Oh, wait, there’s something in the centre of the
canvas.
Teacher: Now, let me show you the same thing, but this
time it was drawn by Vasarely in a different way.
Cindy: It’s a picture of two zebras!
Teacher: Exactly. Now look at the first picture again. Can
you see the zebras?
John: Yes.
Teacher: The lines in the first drawing are curved and
thicker in some places. This creates the three-
dimensional effect. That’s all for today, class.
Please read pages 40-47 of your textbook. On
Tuesday, you’ll be given a quiz on these pages.

why did you stop going there?
Bill: I decided I could work out alone.
Jane: But how? You haven’t got any exercise equipment.
Bill: Why do I need those big machines? To walk or run,
all I have to do is go outside. And don’t forget –
I live ten minutes from the beach. Running on sand
is very healthy.
Jane: That’s true, but what about your arm muscles?
Running won’t help them much.
Bill: I know, but I also work a lot in the garden. It’s good
exercise. I can feel the difference in my arms. Like
I said, I don’t need a gym to get in shape. I “use” my
garden and the beach.
Jane: You might be right, but exercising alone never works
for me. I always say I should exercise, but I never do.
Bill: So, how do you know you’ll exercise at Cool Gym?

Workbook Answer Key
Susan: I’m responsible for the programme schedule. In
other words, I decide when you see each
programme.
Bob: How do you make your decisions, Susan?
Susan: Well, people don’t usually watch just half an hour
of TV. Most people watch for at least two hours. So
I try to give them groups of shows that they’ll enjoy
watching.
Bob: Can you give us an example?
Susan: Yes. On Wednesday nights, our station offers four
sitcoms from 8 to 10 in the evening. On Thursdays,
our viewers can watch two current affairs
programmes a little bit earlier, from 6 to 8.
Bob: But people must get bored watching the same type
of programme.
Susan: That’s true, Bob. So after a couple of hours, we give
them something else. After current affairs, we often
show a reality TV programme.
Bob: Does anything else influence your decision?
Susan: I also think about the time of day. For example,
more women than men watch soap operas, so
they’re usually shown during the day, when some
women are at home. Programmes for children, like
cartoons, for example, are also shown then.
Bob: You must have heard people complaining about TV
adverts, Susan. They’re so annoying. Has your
station got a lot of them?
Susan: W ell, I don’t know what you mean by a lot. We
have got them like every other TV station. Believe
me, we don’t like them any more than you do
because during adverts, viewers often change
channels.
Bob: How do you prevent this?
Susan: We try to show adverts just before something
important is going to happen on the programme.
Bob: Yes, I’ve noticed that. Well, speaking of adverts, it’s
time for our adverts now. Thank you for talking to
us, Susan.

Tourist: Excuse me. Is this the tourist information centre?
Clerk: Yes, it is. Can I help you?
Tourist: What’s the best way to travel from London to
Paris?
Clerk: Have you ever travelled on the Eurostar?
Tourist: The Eurostar? What’s that?
Advanced Real English 4 © B Burlington Books
Workbook Answer Key
Clerk: It’s a high-speed train. It will take you from
London to Paris through the Channel Tunnel in
only 2 hours and 15 minutes. That’s a 495-
kilometre journey. You can also go by coach, but it
takes much longer.
Tourist: I’ve never ridden on a high-speed train. How fast
do they go?
Clerk: The Eurostar reaches speeds of 320 kilometres an
hour.
Tourist: How long is the trip through the tunnel?
Clerk: About 20 minutes. During the rest of your journey,
you’ll be able to see the beautiful countryside in
England and France.
Tourist: It’s probably very expensive.
Clerk: I’ve got their brochure here. Let’s look at the fares.
A single ticket costs £39 in standard class or £107
in first class.
Tourist: That’s not too bad. How often do trains leave?
Clerk: Once every hour, seven days a week. There are no
trains on Christmas Day.
Tourist: Can I book tickets before my trip?
Clerk: Yes, in fact, you should book tickets about two
weeks before your trip.
Tourist: Do I have to go to the station to buy them?
Clerk: No. People used to make their reservations at the
station or over the phone. Today, you can buy
tickets on the Internet and they are cheaper. Just go
to www.eurostar.com. We have all got used to
making travel arrangements on the Internet.
Tourist: That’s true. What about flights? Can I fly from
London to Paris?
Clerk: Yes, you can, but it takes longer because you have
to be at the airport an hour before your flight. We
believe that the Eurostar is the most convenient
way to travel to France these days. Hundreds of
business men use this high-speed train every day.
You can pick up your tickets at the station just
before departure.
Tourist: I think I’ll take the train. I’ve always wanted to go
through the Channel Tunnel. Thank you for your
help.
Clerk: You’re welcome.
