Skill listening for the main idea
It is important to understand the main idea when someone is speaking.

• Think about who is speaking and what they are talking about.
• Don’t worry if you don’t understand all the words.
• Remember that speakers often talk about the main ideas more than once.

We now take over a million selfies every

their stories:
Robert Cornelius made the world’s first ‘selfie’ when he experimented with a camera in 1839. He
tried to take a photo of himself, but early cameras worked very slowly so Robert didn’t move for one
minute and he couldn’t smile. That’s why the final photo wasn’t very exciting!
This frightening selfie is of Alexander Remnev, from Russia. In May 2014, Alexander travelled to Dubai

2 What jobs do you think are boring? 4 What can you do to stop feeling bored at work?
Skill skimming a text
When we skim a text, we read it quickly to understand the main ideas.

• Look at the title, pictures and any headings, and predict what the text is about.
• Read the first sentence in each paragraph carefully. These are 'topic sentences' and are usually
a summary of what the paragraph is about.
• Think about the ideas from all the topic sentences to understand the general meaning of the whole text.
2 Read the Skill box. Then read the highlighted topic sentences in the text and tick ( ) the best
description of the text.
1 Modern technology makes us feel bored more quickly.
2 People can have better ideas after they do boring activities.
3 Boredom in offices is a serious problem for companies.

Text builder pronoun referencing
We use pronouns and possessive adjectives to avoid repeating nouns:

Carlos always works late. I saw him in the office at 8.00 last night.
My parents earn a lot of money, but I think their jobs are very boring.

THE TRUTH
ABOUT
BOREDOM
We all hate being bored, particularly at work.
In fact, most of us try hard to avoid 1it and, thanks
to modern technology, there are now hundreds
of ways to keep us entertained. People watch
videos or play games on the way to work, check
their phones when they’re in boring meetings, and
chat to friends or listen to music while they do dull
administrative tasks. But some scientists think we’re
making a mistake. They believe that boring activities
can be good for us and a recent psychology
experiment tests this idea.
In 2013, Dr Sandi Mann and Rebekah Cadman did an experiment to test people’s
creativity, i.e. how well we can think of ideas. 2 Their idea was to see if boredom had
an effect on how creative we are. They gave 140 people some plastic cups and asked
3 them to think of different ways to use them. However, half of the people spent 15
minutes doing some very boring activities first. They had to read telephone numbers
from a long list and copy 4 them onto paper.
The results of the experiment were very interesting. The people who did
the boring activities first were much more creative and thought of lots of
ideas. Some people suggested wearing the cups as party hats or filling
5 them with fruit juice and freezing them to make ice-lollies. Whereas,
the people who didn’t do any boring tasks found it hard to think of many
ways to use the cups.
Dr Mann says a little boredom can be positive for us. 6 She thinks that we
shouldn’t be afraid of ‘doing nothing’. Many very successful people do
‘boring’ activities in their free time. For example, the US rock musician Jack
White repairs furniture. 7 His hobby helps him to relax and think of ideas
for new songs. At work, some successful people do similar things to be
creative, like tidying their desk or deleting old emails.
However, there are good and bad ways to be bored. You should only do
boring activities for a short time and you should avoid physical activities
which make you feel tired, as this can make you less creative. So, if you
usually listen to music, read the news and send messages to friends when
you’re bored at work, why not try doing less? Make a cup of coffee,
organize your paperwork or look out of the window – maybe 8 it will
change your life … and you can always tell your boss that you’re being
creative.
