UNIT 1: CLOTHES
INTENSIVE READING
THE
HISTORY
White cotton T-shirts were first worn by the US Navy in the Second
World War and by 1948, every American soldier was wearing one
too. But it was Hollywood films that made the T-shirt really popular:
OF THE
actorsT-
Marlon Brando and James Dean wore classic white T-shirts in
On the Waterfront (1945) and Rebel without a Cause (1955). After
SHIRT
these films, every young man wanted to wear one.
Women didn’t begin to wear T-shirts until the end of the 1950s. In the 1959 French film A
bout de soufflé (Breathless), American actress Jean Seberg wore a T-shirt advertising an
English language newspaper. This started a new fashion in T-shirts for women, but it
wasn’t until the mid-1960s that companies like Budweiser and Coca-Cola started using T-
shirts as “walking advertisements”.
Later, the T-shirt became a way of saying something important. For example, soon after
the black American leader Angela Davis went to prison in 1970, people all around the
world were wearing T-shirts with the message “Free Angela”.
In the 970s, French fashion designer Yves Saint Laurent designed a famous
blue T-shirt with his name in white letters. Giorgio Armani has also used T-
shirts in his fashion shows. And in 2001, a limited number of white “J’ adore
Dior” T-shirts sold quickly at well over £100 each!
Today people of all ages are wearing T-shirts. They can be found in any colour, fabric,
and fashion. The T-shirt is becoming the branded casualwear in our closets and
dressers. With so much history, it’s safe to say T-shirts will never go out of style!
What is your favourite T-shirt? Talk about it, using sentences like these:
I like it because… On the front, it has a picture of…

On the back, there is a… I bought it in …
The message says … It’s the oldest / newest / most unusual T-shirt I have
2. What do you know about the history of the T-shirt? According to the text, decide if
the sentences are right (R) or wrong (W). If there is not enough information in the text,
select doesn’t say (DS).

Carrie-Anne Moss was lucky to get the part of Trinity in THE

MATRIX. She wasn’t famous at the time, but directors Larry and
Andy Wachowsky knew she was the right actor for their film. Carrie-
Anne had to do three long days of film tests to show she could do
all the difficult fight scenes. This included three hours of running
and kung fu on the first day.
In the film, the cartwheel scene (where she had to turn over and
over on her hands) was the hardest thing she did. During the
weekend before they filmed it, she was in tears, saying, “I can’t do
it, I can’t do it.” Then just before she did the scene, she fell badly
on her foot. It hurt very much but she kept her boots on and finished
the work. Afterwards, she couldn’t walk for days.
Carrie-Anne is really pleased with her work on all three MATRIX films – and her fans are
too!
Read the following sentences. Are they Right (R) or Wrong (W)? If there is not enough
information to answer, write down “Doesn’t say” (DS).

The Chinese State Circus
Have you ever been to the Chinese State Circus? It’s like no other circus! It’s an
exciting and colorful display of acrobatics, music and dance by men and women
30
from China. You can see excellent martial arts such as Kung Fu. You can see people juggling,
people dancing in lion costumes and even Chinese ballet and opera. It’s a traditional show, but the
technology of the lights and the special effects is amazing.
Acrobatics has been an important part of Chinese history for a

very long time. We know this because there are paintings of
acrobats on old pots and plates. Some of these pots are
more than two thousand years old. The Chinese State Circus
began in the 1990s. This was when a director called Philip
Gandey saw a group of Chinese acrobats performing.
He loved what they were doing and decided to create the
circus. The circus has performed in theatres in more than a
hundred different countries since then.
The Shaolin Warriors are a famous part of the show. They perform at different
times, before and after the acrobats. They are very strong and can break wood
and bricks with their hands and feet. This is a kind of martial art. In most
circuses, clowns come on between the acts. In the Chinese State Circus, the
Monkey King appears. The Monkey King is a character from a Chinese story. In
the story, he has magic powers and can control the wind and water. During the
circus he makes everybody laugh. He sometimes asks people watching to come
onto the stage.
The Chinese State Circus is a brilliant night out. There is something for
everyone in the show: children, parents and grandparents. Everyone loves it and
comes out smiling.

During the project, there are opportunities for extra activities at the weekend, such as

My home has a very small kitchen and a living room downstairs. There are curtains and carpets
– it’s very comfortable. I’ve got central heating, and on the first floor there’s a little bathroom and
my bedroom. I can’t give you my address because I often move. You see, when I get bored of the
view, I can drive my home away and park somewhere new!
2. I’m Patricia. My husband and I were looking for a traditional house when we found our unusual
home. It’s in two old railway carriages. They’ve been here since 1902. The carriages stand side by
side, the sitting room and dining room are between them and there’s a normal roof over the
whole building. We enjoy living here and our guests enjoy visiting us.
3. My name’s Adam. I’m fifteen. My home is twelve meters above the ground. I made it myself. I
didn’t use any nails, only ropes, so I haven’t damaged any branches. I use solar power to heat it

and I have a proper kitchen and a shower and so on. I’ve got my hi-fi up here and there’s plenty
of space for guests. Sometimes the tree moves when the wind blows, but my house hasn’t fallen
down yet, so I’m not really worried.
4. I’m Neil and I rent this amazing place between London and Brighton. It’s two towers. The
windows have a view of the railway line, and it could be noisy for some people, because you hear
the trains passing through the tunnel under it every hour, but I don’t mind the noise because I’m a
party animal. I enjoy giving enormous parties with really loud music because there aren’t any
neighbors to complain. It’s perfect for me.

In questions, the word order subject-verbs-object is the same as in affirmative sentences. The
only thing that’s different is that you usually have to put the auxiliary verb (or the main verb
“be”) before the subject. Interrogatives are put at the beginning of the sentences:
auxiliary subjec other indirect direct
interrogative place time
verb t verb(s) object object
What kind of would you like to tell me
things
Did you have a party in your yesterday?
flat
When were you here?
You don’t use an auxiliary verb if you ask for the subject. In this case the interrogative simply
takes the place of the subject.
interrogative verb(s) object
Who asked you?
Put these words in the right order to make questions.

EXTREME SPORTS - current trends

READING: Read about the extreme sports in the text and look for the unknown
vocabulary.
Kitesurfing – Kitesurfing is a water sport where you attach a large kite to your harness and
use the kite to generate power and velocity to raise you out of the water.
Once out of the water, you have a kitesurfing board (similar to a
snowboard or wakeboard) attached to your feet in order to skim over the
water.
BASE Jumping – BASE jumping is one of the

most extreme sports we know. Athletes hurl themselves off objects
and pull a parachute before impacting the ground. BASE stands for
buildings, antenna, spans (bridges), earth (cliffs & mountains) – the
four main types of objects that athletes jump off from.
Wingsuit Flying – Wingsuit flying is a variation of BASE

jumping where athletes hurl themselves off cliffs or other high
83
objects and then “fly” through the air using their wingsuits (sometimes called “flying squirrel
suits”) only to pull their parachute before narrowly crashing into the ground.
Street Luge - Street luge is very similar to luge, but instead of it

being a winter sport, you do it wherever you can find a street with
a downhill long enough for your liking. Have fun.
Abseiling - Run down the side of a building while holding on to a rope

with a harness attached. This might sound like suicide, but it’s
actually quite fun (or so I’ve heard...).
Ironman - The Ironman is 140.6 miles of swimming biking and
running. 2.4-mile swim. 112-mile bike ride and a full marathon – 26.2
miles – to finish it all off. Do you have what it takes to be an
Ironman?
SPEAKING: Pair work. Interview your partner about extreme sports.

1. What do you think of extreme sports?
2. Which extreme sport would you like to try? Why?
3. Which extreme sport would you never try?
4. What do you think people feel when they try these sports?
5. Do you think these sports are dangerous? Why?
WRITING: You have just interviewed your partner and now you know about his/her
attitude to Extreme Sports. Your task is to write a small article about your friend’s likes
and dislikes.
Please include the following information:

- Preferences (e.g., John can’t stand doing bungee jumping. He is afraid of height)
- Adjectives which describe a type of extreme sport your friend does or would like to do
(e.g., John would like to try snowrafting. He finds this type of sport amazing)
- adjectives which describe your friend’s feelings when people do the extreme sport or
what he/she might feel if he/she started doing it (e.g., He usually feels excited when he
goes parachuting. He thinks he might feel scared if he did sky surfing)
- Try to support your ideas (e.g., John wouldn’t like to try ice diving because he would
feel cold and also because he would need a lot of time to put on special equipment)
- Express your attitude to your friend’s preferences (e.g., Though John is fond of
snowrafting, I would never try it. It’s really dangerous. There have been some terrible
accidents)

PRONOUNS, POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES, AND POSSESSIVE CASE
85
A pronoun is defined as a word or phrase that is used as a substitution for a noun or noun
phrase, which is known as the pronoun’s antecedent. Pronouns are short words and can do
everything that nouns can do and are one of the building blocks of a sentence.
An adjective is a describing word, such as blue, angry, cold, dry and hard. Technically,
an adjective is described as modifying or quantifying a noun or pronoun. An adjective tells us
more and gives us extra information about something.

PRONUNCIATION - /aʊ/ /ɔː/
Cow /aʊ/ Draw /ɔː/
How to pronounce the /aʊ/ sound

/aʊ/ is a diphthong sound which means it is a combination of two vowel sounds
that are pronounced within the same syllable. The /aʊ/ sound is a combination
of /æ/ and /ʊ/ or /u:/ Like vowels the diphthongs are all made through the mouth
and are voiced which means that you vibrate your vocal chords to make the
sound. When you pronounce a diphthong sound, your mouth will change
position and shape as you say the sound, because they combine two vowel
sounds.So as you say the /aʊ/ sound your mouth will start on the position of the
/æ/ sound and then allow your mouth and lips to close as you finish on the
position of the /ʊ/ or /u:/ sound.
The /aʊ/ sound is often spelled with the letters “o” or “o-u”, as in the words:
 down /daʊn/  around /әˈraʊnd/  allow /әˈlaʊ/
 our /aʊə/  power /ˈpaʊә/  how /haʊ/
 without /wɪð’aʊt/  however /haʊˈevә/
How to pronounce the /ɔ:/ sound

/ɔ:/ sound is a vowel sound and it’s the technical name is the ‘Open-Mid Back
Rounded Vowel’. All vowels are made through the mouth and are voiced so you
vibrate your vocal chords to make the sound. It is similar to the /ɒ/ sound, but the
two little dots mean that it is a longer sound /ɔ:/ not /ɒ/. To produce the sound put
your tongue low and at the back of your mouth and lightly push your lips together
while making a long voiced sound.
The /ɔ:/ sound is often spelled with the But it can also be spelled with the letter ‘a’
letters ‘o-r’ as in the words: as in the words:
 for /fɔː/  also /’ɔːlsəʊ/

READING EXERCISE
Read this text and deicide if sentences 1-6 are correct or incorrect. If a sentence is correct,
write A. If it is incorrect, write B.
1. Stella has three sisters. B
2. Stella’s mother was a photographer.
3. Stella met Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss for the first time at her fashion show in 1995.
4. Everyone was surprised when Stella McCartney was on front page of the newspapers.
5. Stella had jobs in fashion before she left college.
6. Stella thinks about the kinds of clothes famous models like to wear when she is designing.
Stella McCartney was born in 1972, the daughter of pop star Sir Paul
McCartney. She is the youngest of three sisters. One sister is a potter,
and the other sister does the same job as their mother used to do –she
works as a photographer. Stella’s brother, James, is a musician. Stella
first hit the newspapers headlines in 1995 when she graduated in
fashion design from art college. At her final show, her clothes were
modelled by her friends, Naomi Campbell and Kate Moss, both well-
known models. Unsurprisingly, the student show became front-page news around the world.
Stella hadn’t been in the news before as a fashion designer, but she had spent time working in
the fashion world since she was fifteen. In March 1997, Stella went to work for the fashion
house Chloe. People said the famous fashion house had given her the job because of her
99
surname and her famous parents but Stella soon showed how good she was. She designs
clothes which she would like to wear herself, although she’s not a model, and many famous
models and actors choose to wear them. In 2001 Stella started her own fashion house and has
since opened stores around the world and won many prizes.
