Vocabulary: teen culture: music, mobile phone, computers, films, clothes, the Internet,
bands, brands
teen culture movements: hippies, punks, mods and rockers
dates and decades: 1940s, 1960s, 1970s, 1976
miscellaneous: read, work, dress, ride, child, adult, teenager
Grammar: present simple, adverbs and expressions of frequency
Extra materials: magazine pictures of some of the following things; pop bands, fashionable clothes
and fashion models, MP3 players, DVDs, make-up, mobile phones
Content: Students learn about teen culture movements past and present, and listen to
some British teenagers talk about what things are important to them today.

Warm–up 4 Let students read through the gapped sentences

Write the word teenager on the board and check that
students understand what it means. Ask them to think of
things that they associate with the word teenager and
brainstorm as many ideas as you can. Write the words on
the board. Show students the pictures you have brought
to the class and check them against the list on the board.
Compare how many of the ideas generated on the board
match the pictures.
Before you watch
1 Hand out Worksheet 1. The first activity will provide
visual prompts for the presentation of the three
main teen culture movements. Students label the
pictures individually, then check the answers as an
open class activity.
2 Students do the activity individually. Remind them
that some of the phrases include prepositions and
these should be learnt as complete phrases. Extend
the activity by eliciting more possibilities in open
class, e.g. hang out with friends/my sister/my
cousins; watch TV/a film/a video/a DVD.
3 Students complete the crossword individually and
then check their answers in pairs before checking
the answers as an open class activity.
before playing the DVD. Stop the DVD after The
same clothes brands are popular from Alaska to
Australia.
5 Write the names of the four teenagers on the board
and explain that the names aren’t traditionally
English names. Practise the pronunciation, and with
a more able class try and guess where the teenagers
might originally come from. Let students read the
sentences and ask them to try and remember
whether they are true or false before playing the
DVD. Stop the DVD after Titilope says Enjoy it while
you can!
Final watch
6 Go back to the Main menu, then play the DVD all
the way through to the second question. Do not
select Continue after this question. Give students
several minutes to check their answers to activities
3-5, then do a class check.
7 Select Continue to watch the Quiz section.
Either watch all the questions at once, or pause after
each question and give students time to write the
answers on their worksheets. Select See answers to
check answers with the whole class.

Comprehension After you watch

First watch
1 Play the DVD once all the way through until it
stops automatically after the first question. Hand out
Worksheet 2 and tell students to tick the correct
answer on their worksheet. Select Replay if students
need to hear the question again. Ask a student for
their answer and select it on the DVD. If it is
incorrect, select Try again, otherwise select Continue.
2 Play the second question, then when it stops,
ask students to tick the correct answer on their
worksheet. Ask a student for the answer and select
it on the DVD. If it is incorrect, select Try again,
otherwise return to the Main menu.
Second watch
3 Ask students if they can remember which decades the
teen culture movements were popular in, before
playing the DVD. Stop the DVD after … until a new

Ask students to complete activities 2-5 in pairs and then

other’s answers.
Homework
Encourage students to use the vocabulary introduced in
this unit to explore their own ideas about fashion and
teen culture. Give students some ideas for the magazine
cover in Exercise 3 by bringing in some magazines and
going through the headlines and feature lines on the
board in class beforehand. Discuss the kind of features
that might be included in their magazine and give them
some ideas e.g. Ten fashion ideas! Does your boyfriend
play a lot of sport? Pop quiz, This month’s top ten hits!
Mobile phone offers inside! etc.

Unit 32
Vocabulary: school: registration, lesson, classroom, break, playground, subject, double period, homework,
timetable
school subjects: maths, English, science, IT, French, Spanish, history, geography, art, music, PE
time: day, hour, minute, evening, tonight
transport: walk, cycle, catch the bus
miscellaneous: bell, ring, move, look forward to, have fun, concentration, hard work
Grammar: present simple: third person singular and plural
Content: Students learn about a typical school day at a British school and find out about the different
subjects studied. They watch students studying at school and at home.

Warm-up Second watch

In L1, ask students to describe their typical school day
to you. Build up a timetable on the board, using L1,
based on what they tell you. Then ask students to guess
how British timetables might be different to their own,
and how they might be the same.
Before you watch
1 Hand out Worksheet 1. Before students begin, tell
them to look at the timetable on the board and ask
them to match the icons in activity 1 with the subjects
written in L1 on the timetable. Give them a couple
of minutes to write the English word for each icon
into the grid and find the mystery word. Ask students
to put their hands up when they have discovered it.
When over half the class have found the word, check
answers with the whole class.
2 This activity should remind students of the importance
of learning and revising new vocabulary within lexical
sets. Write the three headings on the board and ask
different students to come up to the board and write
one word each under the correct heading.
3 If students find this definition-matching activity
challenging, you could ask them to categorize each
definition first as transport, time or school. This will
reduce the possibilities for each answer. Let students
check their answers in pairs first, before checking
with the whole class.
Comprehension
First watch
3 Give students a minute to read through the questions
first and think about possible answers before playing
the DVD. Stop the DVD after Sarah’s next lesson
is history.
4 For a more challenging activity, ask students to match
the sentence halves first and then listen to the DVD
to check their answers. Stop the DVD after ... or catch
up with some homework.
5 Ask a volunteer student to read out the numbers
before playing the DVD. Stop the DVD after Tonight
Sarah’s got English homework.
Final watch
6 Go back to the Main menu then play the DVD all
the way through to the second question. Do not
select Continue after this question. Give students
several minutes to check their answers to activities
3-5, then do a class check.
7 Select Continue to watch the Quiz section. Either

Warm-up
Start the lesson by saying: I went to the sports centre
yesterday and I played football. Get a student to repeat
your sentence and add another sport, e.g.: I went to the
sports centre yesterday and I played football and tennis.
Continue around the class, adding more sports.
Remind students that we use play for sports with a ball
(e.g.: football, tennis); go for sports ending in -ing
(e.g.: swimming, cycling), and do for all other sports
(e.g.: karate, athletics).
Before you watch
1 Hand out Worksheet 1. If students have any
difficulties with this activity, help them by giving them
the first letter of each word. Students compare their
answers in pairs before a whole class check.
2 This is a more challenging activity. Let students do it in
pairs before going through the answers, explaining, if
necessary, the meanings of take a corner and pass the
ball. If you have any keen football players in the class,
you could ask them to explain these terms in L1.
3 This categorizing activity can be very useful when
trying to work out the meaning of a text. Students
do this individually before a whole class check.

Grammar: be going to for future predictions based on evidence
Content: Students learn about typical weather conditions for each season and find out why British people
enjoy talking about the weather so much! They also learn about the Met Office.
Warm-up
Write the following words on the board: cold, shorts,
leaves, spring, predict, satellite.
Go through the words, quickly explaining their meaning,
and then ask students if they can guess what the topic of
the unit will be. Accept all students’ suggestions, writing
them on the board. Then hand out Worksheet 1 and ask
students to glance through the ‘Before you watch’
activities. Are they now more sure about the topic?
Before you watch
1 Point out that all these words are adjectives. Give
students a couple of minutes to write the English
word for each clue into the grid and find the mystery
word. With a more able class, you could then ask
the students to tell you the related nouns (sun, heat,
fog, rain, warmth).
2 This activity helps to reinforce the target vocabulary
by presenting it within a lexical set.
3 Students should already be familiar with the months
of the year. This activity is designed to remind
students how to spell them.
Comprehension
First watch
1 Note that there are no grammar subtitles for
this unit, so you can only play the DVD with English
subtitles or no subtitles. Play the DVD once all
the way through until it stops after the first question.
Hand out Worksheet 2 and tell students to tick
the correct answer on their worksheet. Ask the class
to decide on the correct answer and select
it on the DVD. If it is incorrect, select Try again,
otherwise select Continue.
2 Play the second question. Get students to discuss
the weather shown in the four pictures. Ask a few
students for their answers, then select See answer
to check answers with the whole class. Then return
to the Main menu.
Second watch
3 Give students a minute to read the gapped sentences.
Play section 1 of the DVD, stopping it after When it
isn’t sunny, they say it’s too cold. Write the sentences

on the board and get the students to come up
and complete them. Do not comment on or correct
the sentences yet – this can be done after students
have double-checked their own answers in activity 6.
4 Students may be able to do this matching activity
before watching the DVD. Play section 2 of the DVD
for them to check their ideas. Stop the DVD after ...
and the leaves fall from the trees.
5 Give students a minute to read through the questions.
Tell them to focus on listening out for the specific
information required. Stop the DVD after But at least
it’s something to talk about!
Final watch
6 Go back to the Main menu, then play the DVD all
the way through to the second question. Do not
select Continue after this question. Give students
several minutes to check their answers to activities
3-5, then do a class check.
7 Select Continue to watch the Quiz section.
Either watch all the questions at once, or pause after
each question and give students time to write
the answers on their worksheets. Select See answers
to check answers with the whole class.
After you watch
1 Hand out Worksheet 3. The pictures provide a visual
Voices 1 Interactive Classroom © Macmillan Polska 2011
summary of the main contents of the DVD. Students
work in pairs or small groups.
Divide the class into small groups or pairs, and set
activities 2-5 as a timed race. Allow three minutes
to complete each activity. After activity 5, ask groups
to exchange worksheets and check each other’s answers.
Homework
Encourage students to use as many different types of
weather conditions as possible in their maps, even if they
are not commonly experienced in their region. You could
introduce more weather words for students to use
(e.g.: frosty, snowy, stormy, cloudy) and encourage
them to design their own icons to illustrate them.

Section 1
As a teenager, you are no longer a child and you are not yet an adult.
Most teenagers like music, mobile phones, computers, films and fashionable
clothes. They love hanging out with their friends. These things are often called
‘teen culture’.
People first used the word ‘teenager’ in the 1940s. There have been teen culture
movements in most decades since. Mods and rockers in the 1960s; hippies in the
early 1970s. Then in 1976 punk started in Britain and became the fashion of the
day. And so it continues – everything lasts for a while until a new fashion takes
over.

Section 2
Because of the Internet, teenage culture is global. When a new word becomes
cool, everybody knows about it on the web.
The same thing happens with bands and films. What’s popular in America this
week will be big in Europe and around the world a week later.
Fashion is important in teenage culture. All over the world, teenagers wear the
same clothes. The same clothes brands are popular from Alaska to Australia.

Section 3
We asked some teenagers in London what they like and dislike and what teen
culture means for them.
Cheryl As we’re young we’re able to have a lot more fun and do what we
want really.

Kin Do what I like. Dress as I like. Have my own image …

Titilope Well, I enjoy reading a lot and I enjoy working with kids as well and
I do like music.

Eldar I love horse riding, going to the gym.

Titilope Enjoy it while you can!

Section 1
Come on, Sarah! It’s time to get up.
For most students in Britain, the school day starts between eight thirty and nine o’clock.
People travel to school using many different kinds of transport. They cycle, they walk
and they come in cars. Sarah catches the school bus.
The school day starts with registration where the teacher checks everybody is in school.
Each lesson lasts for an hour. Sarah’s first lesson is maths. At the end of the lesson a bell
rings. Students move to another classroom for the next lesson. Sarah’s next lesson is history.

Section 2
After two or three lessons there is a break. This is fifteen minutes when students go out
into the playground to have fun after all that concentration!
After break it’s back to work. Sometimes special subjects like science last for two lessons –
a ‘double period’. They can be really hard work!
But there’s always the lunch break to look forward to. There’s usually time to play games,
talk with friends, read a book or catch up with some homework.

Section 3
After lunch it’s back to the classroom. The main subjects in the school timetable are English,
maths and science. IT is also popular. Then there’s French or Spanish, history and
geography. Students also study art, music and PE.
The final bell goes at three thirty to mark the end of school. School lasts for seven hours
and nearly five hours are lessons. But that’s not the end of the school day.
Students have homework every day. This can be from one to three hours of schoolwork
at home in the evening. Tonight Sarah’s got English homework.

Questions
So how much do you know now about the school day in Britain?
How long is the school day?
Choose the two lessons we see Sarah in.

Section 1
People love animals. But some of the world’s animals are in danger of extinction.
There are several reasons for this. But the most serious threat to animals is from man.
In some parts of the world people collect rhino horn for use in medicine. Others carve
ornaments for tourists from ivory from elephant tusks. Shark’s fin soup is a favourite
in many restaurants. Chimpanzee and whale meat are popular with some people.

Section 2
Another big problem is the destruction of the rainforests. This is removing the habitat
of many animals, like these gorillas, birds and plants. The number of animals in some
species is now very small and they may not exist at all for much longer.
The Worldwide Fund for Nature is an international organization. It started in Britain in 1961
and has now got a global network in 90 countries. It looks at all aspects of conservation
including animals, plants, forestry and control of pollution.
There are a number of projects in Britain which deal with endangered species. Here at Port
Lympne Animal Park there are elephants, lions, African hunting dogs and many others.
In this safe environment animals can breed – produce babies – and so increase
the numbers. The animals are then put back into their natural wild habitat.

Section 3
Animals born in Britain are now back in the Congo and Gabon in Africa. They are surviving
and adapting successfully to conditions there.
These Asian wild horses are another success story. They live in China and Mongolia. Thirty
years ago there weren’t any horses left except for a few in zoos. Now, every year several
go back to the grasslands of Asia. But there are still only 1,500 of them.
This is an African black rhino. There are only 3,000 wild rhinos and 200 in zoos.
The 23 rhinos here at Port Lympne is the largest collection outside Africa. Lessons learnt
from animals in Britain are very valuable in helping to maintain the numbers of rhinos
in the world.

Section 1
At the weekend in Britain, millions of people take part in some kind of sporting activity.
Half of all men over 16 regularly participate in sport.
Even more people spend part of the weekend watching sport – especially football.
From August to April football is everywhere.
The top level of the game is professional football in the Premiership. We went to a training
session with a Premiership team from South East London, Charlton Athletic. The players
train every morning. In this session, the head coach worked on passing the ball quickly
and taking corners.
Football is played in schools and as a leisure activity. Both girls and boys play.

Section 2
Cricket is the main summer sport in Britain. Local teams play in towns and villages every
Saturday and Sunday from April to September.
Cricket is played between two teams of 11 people.
We went to Lord’s, the headquarters of English cricket, to see an indoor coaching session.
These ten-year-olds learn how to improve their cricket skills even in the winter.

Section 3
Tennis is another popular sport, especially in the summer after the famous Wimbledon
championships. There are tennis courts all over Britain.
Other popular sports are golf, swimming, cycling, keep fit and walking.
But there is no doubt that for most people football is the national sport.

Questions
Let’s discover what you know about sport.
What are the names of these sports?

Section 1
The weather is a very popular topic of conversation in Britain. That’s because the weather
changes a lot.
Sixty-five per cent of all the days in Britain are overcast – dull, grey and often cold.
That’s 260 dull days. What do people find to talk about?
When the weather is good, people complain that it’s too hot.
When it rains, they say it’s too wet. When it isn’t sunny, they say it’s too cold.

Section 2
The seasons in Britain are fairly clear. Winter lasts from December to February. It’s cold
and wet but doesn’t often snow. Spring is from March to May. It starts to get a bit warmer
and there are more sunny days. The summer months are June, July and August when
it can be very hot. Then the autumn – September, October, November – often has foggy,
cold, wet days and the leaves fall from the trees.

Section 3
It’s not surprising that Britain has got one of the most important weather centres in
the world. The Met Office employs over a thousand people. They provide weather forecasts
for radio, television and newspapers – and on the Internet.
Two huge supercomputers analyse information from many sources including satellites.
This is very different from some of the early weather forecasts. These instruments were used
for the earliest weather forecasts. This is the first one – published in The Times in 1879.
Scientists at the Met Office make weather forecasts for the public and for special purposes
– military, shipping, airlines and many others.
The Met Office also looks at environmental issues such as global warming and climate
change. The computers can predict the tropical storms and hurricanes that cause so much
damage around the world.
The trouble is weather changes very quickly and so nobody ever believes the weather
forecast. They still go out in their shorts and get wet! But at least it’s something to talk
about.
