- Crystal:
My name is Crystal, I'm a student of primary five at the Woodridge girls of primary school. I
have several hobbies and I'd like to have more time to spend on them but I get a lot of homework
that takes up a lot of time. My favorite sport used to be swimming I used to spend a lot of time
at the local swimming pool at weekends and on public holidays. I also learned to dive there. My
friend, Phoebe, used to come along with me and we would race on who could do the maximum
number of laps in the swimming pool. I do not go swimming so often now. I like hiking. My
father has always been a keen hiker. Last year he began to take me with him sometimes. He
bought me a pair of hiking shoes and a backpack. At first I found it difficult to keep up with
dad. He kept on having to wait for me to catch up with him. Now that I've had quite a lot of
practice I can go much faster. I love hiking on new trails. Sometimes dad and I also take our
bikes and ride them on the trails. Mom, dad and I have been to many trails in Hong Kong. For
example, the Peak Trail, the Tai Tam Trail, the Tung Chung Trail, just to name a few. We
always stop for a while to admire the view if it is a clear day. I am really glad that I took up
hiking. Next I would like to try rock-climbing. Dad says that it is much more difficult and more
dangerous. He says that I cannot try it until I'm older.

UNIT 2: LIFE IN THE COUNTRYSIDE AND CITY
III. READING
A FUTURE IN THE COUNTRY ?
More and more people want to live the rural life... but...
City life is cool; but is country life cooler?
Apparently yes.
After the terrible Covid-19 epidemic of 2020, lots of people would like to leave their city and live in the
country.
More and more people in Britain want to live in the country, and this is causing more and more problems in
some rural areas.
The population of British cities has been falling for years. Cities like Liverpool and Glasgow have lost about
30% of their population in 30 years. But Britain's population is still growing. Where are the people going?
Answer: to the country.
The English countryside has a classic image. People imagine that life in the country is slow and calm; that
there are no traffic jams, no pollution, and no crime. In some places, this is true; but in others it is not.
Small towns and villages are becoming more and more popular; people have more space and most houses
have gardens. But problems are growing. Lots of people want to live in the country and work in the city; so more
and more people travel long distances each day, to go to work. Of course they don't use buses (they are too slow)
or trains (they don't stop in the country); they use cars. And although they live in the country, they want to use
supermarkets and good fast roads.... but they do not want to see them or hear them. Besides, lots of young people
say that life in the country is boring: there is not enough to do, there are not enough activities and excitements.
Little villages now have traffic problems in the morning, just like big cities! And they are getting worse.
The problems are very complicated! If everyone moves into the country, large parts of the countryside will
disappear! People leave cities and big towns, to escape from urban problems; but more and more, they are
bringing their problems with them.
On warm summer days, and cold winter days, air pollution can be a big problem in large parts of the south of
England, not just in London. Traffic jams are now often part of life, even in the country; crime has become a
serious problem in rural areas.
Perhaps there is hope for the future. Soon Britain's population will stop rising. From about the year 2030, it
will perhaps start to fall. In 100 year's time, there will be less people in Britain than today - perhaps two million
less. No doubt there will be less pollution too; oil and petrol will probably be rare by then.
* WORD GUIDE
- rural: in the country - area : zone
- countryside: the country, rural land - rise: go up, increase
- traffic jam: when traffic moves very slowly, or has to stop
1. Read the article, then decide whether these statements are true (T) or false (F).
____ There were more people in Britain in 1980 than today.
____ There are good fast bus services in rural parts of England.
____ Air pollution and traffic are problems in parts of the country.

more problems. The population of British cities (fall) __________ for years. Cities like Liverpool and

Multicultural Society
The UK has welcomed newcomers for centuries. It is a mixture of diverse ethnic groups, each
with their own distinct culture and sometimes their own language or religion. This month is Black
History month, celebrating the contribution that Afro Caribbean people have made to British society.
Many British Asians will be celebrating Ramadan soon. There are 1.5 million Muslims in Britain with
over 6,000 mosques. Asian can be a misleading term as it refers to all those people with roots or family
connections in the former British colonies of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Asian does not
always mean that the person is of Indian descent. Not all Asians are Muslim. Some are Hindus and
others are Sikhs. These 2 groups celebrate the festival of Diwalli on November 6th.
The Irish have come to Britain for many years, looking for work. After World War Two Irish
and other European workers were encouraged to take factory jobs. Britain couldn’t get enough workers
to help rebuild the economy and to work in the new Health Service so employers also looked to former
colonies and Commonwealth countries. India, countries in Africa and the Caribbean had been controlled
by Britain in the past and had strong cultural links with Britain, including the language. Many arrived
in the hope of building a new life for their young families.
The descendants of these immigrants are now the teachers, the footballers, the TV presenters,
the musicians and the politicians that shape British society. There are numerous ethnic newspapers,
magazines, TV programmes, radio stations and internet sites for each community. The largest groups
live in and around the capital London and many other groups are concentrated in the industrial centres
in Yorkshire, The Midlands and the South East.
Ethnic minorities timeline
• 19th century: Jewish arrivals from Russia/Poland, escaping persecution;
• Irish people escape from poverty in rural Ireland
• 1948 –50s: Caribbean workers invited to help rebuild post war Britain
• 1950s-60s: Asians from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh escape poverty
• 1970s: East African Asians escape persecution and Vietnamese escape war
• 1980s: Eastern European refugees arrive from war and political unrest in Romania and the
former Yugoslavia.
Ethnic groups in the UK(6.5% of the British population are from ethnic minorities)
• White – 53,074,000 (includes Irish, Polish, Italian etc).
• Black Caribbean – 490,000
• Black African – 376,000

• Pakistani – 663,000
• Bangladeshi –268,000
• Chinese – 137,000
• Other Asian – 209,000 (includes Vietnamese, Malaysian, Thai)
• Other – 424,000 (people who did not think they fitted the above categories)
Task 4 - Interpretation

Transcript:
This is Southall Broadway in West London. This area has one of the largest Asian populations in London. The
United Kingdom is an ethnically diverse country with many different communities that reflects the
multicultural nature of Britain. Many British people’s families originally come from overseas. Over the
centuries, people from around the world have come to live here.
The first significant wave of immigrants arrived by ship from Jamaica in 1948. The Notting Hill Carnival
celebrates this Caribbean culture.
In the 1950s and 60s, Indian, Bangladeshi and Pakistani families made Britain their home. Asian Ugandan
refugees fled here in the 1970s. Followed by Somalis in the 90s. And in recent years, Eastern European
citizens have arrived in search of work.
This cultural variety makes Britain a vibrant place to be, but it’s not without its problems. Conflicts can arise
between cultures and generations. Young people whose parents or grandparents settled here have a very
different experience of growing up to their parents.
...
Sunny Grewel and his father Avinda live in Southall. Avinda came here from Kenya in the 70s. Sunny was
born here.
Nick: Avinda, what was life like when you first came here?
Avinda: It was hard. There was no jobs for, for people like us.
Nick: And what’s life like now, for young people, Sunny?
Sunny: I think we’re very much a part of the communities and government and everything, so it’s a lot more
equal for everyone.
Nick: What are the main arguments between the younger and older generations?
Avinda: When they were small, I wouldn’t let him wear these earrings and have a long ponytail. They have to
look smart.
Nick: And what’s the best thing about living here, Sunny?
Sunny: The food, the different cultures that come in and bring their spices, their experiences and even their
rituals, so you get a taste of the world within this small community.
...
In the past, differences between communities have led to violence. But new community-based projects have
brought different generations and cultures together.
Here at St Mary’s School in Cardiff in Wales, more than 20 languages are spoken. It’s one of the most
multicultural schools in Wales. The school was involved with a project called 'Open Cities'. It helps migrants,
people from other countries, become part of the community. The schoolchildren took pictures of people and
places to show what it's like to live in Cardiff.
Some of the kids are featured in an exhibition called Open Cities Faces.
...
Mercy and Joy and their father Derek are originally from Zambia. They have lived here for six years.
Nick: Derek, tell me why you came to Cardiff and why you took part in this project.
Derek: I am an Engineering Consultant. I came to Cardiff because I was offered a job here. This project was a
good thing because it was trying to show something positive about migration and integration.
Nick: Why is Mercy photographed by a window?
Derek: Because the photographer wanted to find a way to show the hopes for our future – the better life that
we look towards.
Nick: But there’s a lot of shadow in that photograph, as well.
Derek: Yes, the shadow is deliberate to try to show our past, where we’ve come from.
Nick: And do you consider Cardiff to be your home now?
Derek: Yes. We are part of the local community, we have settled down and we think Cardiff is great.
Projects like ‘Open Cities’ can bring people in the community together and give young people hope for the
future.

Ex 2: Reading comprehension
What do people bring to a housewarming
party?
The if clause tells you the condition (If you study hard) and the main clause tells you the result (you
will pass your exams).
Zero conditional
We use the zero conditional to talk about things that are generally true, especially for laws and rules.
First conditional
We use the first conditional when we talk about future situations we believe are real or possible.
Second conditional
The second conditional is used to imagine present or future situations that are impossible or unlikely
in reality.
It is also common to use this structure with unless, as long as, as soon as or in case instead of if.
Ex 2: Give the correct form of the words in brackets:
If you study hard, you will pass your exams.
You will pass your exams if you (study) ______________ hard.
If he (drink) ______________ too much coffee, he can't sleep at night.
Ice (melt) ______________ if you heat it.
When the sun (go) ______________ down, it gets dark.
If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we (go) ______________ to the beach.
Arsenal (be) ______________ top of the league if they win.
When Tom (finish) ______________ work, he'll call you.
I'll leave as soon as the babysitter (arrive) ______________.
I (give) ______________ you a key in case I'm not at home.
You can go to the party, as long as you're back by midnight.
If we had a garden, we (have) ______________ a cat.
If I (win) ______________ a lot of money, I'd buy a big house in the country.
I (not worry) ______________ if I were you.
If I (be) ______________ you, I wouldn't mention it.
If she (be) ______________ prime minister, she would invest more money in schools.
He (travel) ______________ more if he was younger.
Third conditional
The third conditional is used to imagine a different past. We imagine a change in a past situation and
the different result of that change.
If I had understood the instructions properly, I would have passed the exam.
We wouldn't have got lost if my phone hadn't run out of battery.
In third conditional sentences, the structure is usually: If + past perfect >> would have + past
participle.
