Unit 1, Reading, exercise 2
Do young sportspeople, musicians or actors go to
school? Not always!
Young star Jeremy Maguire is in the comedy series
Modern Family and he doesn’t go to school when he’s
at the studio. All child actors in California do about three
hours of school a day. A teacher goes to the film studio
and helps them with their lessons.
Zakiya from Pakistan wants to be a tennis player. She
goes to tennis star Rafa Nadal’s academy in Mallorca,
Spain. Zakiya plays tennis and goes to the international
school at the academy. She does all her lessons in the
morning and plays tennis in the afternoon.
Sixteen-year-old Lauren Zhang plays the violin, but
she’s the BBC Young Musician of the Year because
T3
she can also play the piano really well. She goes to
King Edward VI High School in Birmingham, in the UK,
from Monday to Friday. She’s interested in history,
physics and biology. She also goes to the Junior
Conservatoire, a music school for 8 to 18 year olds. A
typical Saturday at this school is long; it starts at 9:00
am and finishes at 5:00 pm.

Briony: In the studio today we have a friend of
mine, Angus Macpherson. Angus goes to
my high school but in his free time he also
does MOOCs. Tell us more Angus.
Angus: Hi Briony. These courses are now over ten
years old. The great thing about them is
that they’re free, and you can learn so
many different things. I’m doing a course on
‘How to learn’ with the University of
California and I’ve got millions of
classmates from all over the world.
Briony: Wow! So, are MOOCs for young people
too?
T4
Angus: Sure! One of the most popular courses
is on Python – this is a language for
computers. This course is great for young
people who like computers and gaming and
want to know more about programming.
Briony: What about a course for those of us who
don’t like maths?

Angus: The Khan Academy for example has
courses in almost everything. History lovers
can learn about France in 1789 or Japan in
the 19th century. There’s even a beginner’s
course on art history where you watch
videos, read articles, post ideas and do
exercises.
Briony: That sounds like hard work. Is there
anything easier?
Angus: Well, you love art so you could try ‘How to
make a comic book’. The first thing you do
is think about your story. Then you learn
how to write capital letters with a pen and
also how to draw great pictures.
Briony: That’s the perfect course for me! Thanks
Angus.
Unit 2, Reading, exercise 2
What is kitesurfing?
On a windy day, some people go to the park and they
fly a kite. Others go surfing or windsurfing. But another
activity is kitesurfing.
To do this sport, you need a small surfboard, a large
kite, open water and wind. It’s the wind and not the
water that helps you move. Some kitesurfers love doing
jumps, others like competing in races while others like
travelling long distances.
Meet British teenager Adam Farrington. At 14, he’s the
youngest kitesurfer to cross the English Channel (the
sea between England and France). That’s about 111
kilometres in 5 hours 19 minutes. Not easy – the wind is
strong and the waves are sometimes big! The Channel
is always busy with large ships. And don’t forget that
standing on a board for hours is hard work for your legs!
What’s next for Adam? He enjoys competitions, like the
British Kitesurfing Freestyle Championships, and he’s
one of the best. Adam hopes to be part of his country’s
team at the Olympic Games in the future.

Presenter: What do you do in your free time? On
today’s programme, we’ve got three young
people with some unusual hobbies. Mel,
you like going cycling, right?
Mel: Well, not quite. I’m into unicycling.
Presenter: What’s the difference?

 Workbook Audioscript

Mel: A unicycle has only got one wheel, you
don’t hold it and you need to keep your legs
moving all the time.
Presenter: Sounds hard.
Mel: Actually it’s very easy. As you don’t need
to hold the unicycle other things like taking
photos is easy. I play unicycle basketball
on a team. Then every two years, there’s
the Unicon – the World Unicycle
Championship – you meet people from all
over the world here and learn new tricks.
Presenter: Cool! Now Nick, tell us about your hobby.
Nick: I love writing stories. I often write stories for
my family and friends. My dream is to have
my own book of short stories.
Presenter: Where do you get your ideas from?
Nick: I spend a lot of time reading. I also have a
notebook so when I see or hear something
interesting I write it down. I’m a member
of a writers’ group too. We meet every
Saturday and in the school holidays and a
writer listens to our stories and helps us.

Presenter: Interesting! And finally Jason. What do you
Unit 3, Listening and Speaking, exercises 1 and 3
like doing?
Presenter:
Jason: I’m crazy about trains. I take photos of
trains, I collect train tickets and maps and
of course I’ve got my own model railway.
Presenter: And are you a member of a club?
Lee:
Jason: Yes, the Young Model Railway Club in
London – it is over 100 years old. We meet
once a month and share our ideas. They’re
helping me to build a station for my railway.

Night Bazaar, Chiang Mai, Thailand
During the day, Chang Khlan Road is a
normal street, but when the sun goes
down, it becomes a large market, open
every day of the year, even in the rain. It’s
8:00 pm and I’m searching for a shirt.
There’s a light, comfortable shirt for €10! I
suggest €7, the man wants more, finally
we agree on €8 and it’s mine.
Grand Bazaar, Istanbul, Turkey
This is one of the oldest and largest
covered markets in the world. Around
400,000 people visit it every day from 9:00
am (except Sundays and holidays) until
7:00 pm. I found an old-fashioned shirt,
perfect for Granddad. We’re trying to
agree on the price. You always try to pay
less!
On today’s programme, Lee Garcia is
talking to us about some young people
who are becoming famous fast. Lee, are
they actors or musicians?
No, they aren’t. Melissa Jade Aiello,
Moziah Bridges and Kheris Rogers are
all making amazing clothes and they’re
all under the age of 18.
What do we know about Melissa Jade
Aiello?
Well, she’s from England but lives in the

Presenter: Finding the perfect shirt
This week our reporter Rob Evans is
looking for a perfect shirt in three world
famous markets.
Rob Evans: San Telmo Fair, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The indoor market is open Monday to
Saturday, but I’m at the street market, San
Telmo Fair. It’s open every Sunday till
about 5:00 pm, if the weather is good.
People here are selling all kinds of
clothes, street musicians are playing and
USA and she calls herself Missy. She
often draws pictures of people from the
world of fashion and she’s very good at it.
These cool pictures are on T-shirts and
everyone wants a ‘Missy Tee’.
Presenter: Where can I buy one?
Lee: You need to order it online from her
website.
Presenter: Right! What about Moziah Bridges? What
clothes does he make?
Lee: Moziah or Mo makes ties and he’s got his
own company called Mo’s Bows.
Presenter: Does he only sell to adults?
Lee: No. Have a look at his website, he’s got
ties for all ages.

Presenter: And why does he call his company Mo’s
Bows?
Lee: Because Mo makes and sells a lot of bow
ties. Mo loves wearing colourful bow ties
himself. He thinks they make the world a
happier place.
Presenter: Finally, what can you tell us about Kheris
Rogers?
Lee: She’s also still studying at school but like
the other two she’s got her own clothes
business. She sells her tops, bags and
jackets on her own website with the help
of her older sister and they’re doing well.
Presenter: What’s next?
Lee: Kheris is saving money to go to college
when she’s older and her sister has also
got her own cake business.
Presenter: Thanks for the report, Lee. Don’t forget to
check out these young people on social
media. That’s all for today, bye!

Unit 4, Reading, exercise 3
Living in extreme places, by Mateo Romero.
Some people live in the wettest places in the world,
others in the driest, coldest or windiest. I live in one of
the highest.
My city, La Paz, isn’t the largest city in Bolivia, but
at 3,640 metres above the sea, it’s one of the highest
cities in the world. Our closest city, El Alto, is higher at
4,150 metres. The fastest way to get there is by the Mi
Teleferico cable car. It takes about ten minutes – the
bus takes an hour!
When my cousins visit, they often feel terrible at first
because we live so high up but after a few days, they
feel better. And when we go to their city, we also don’t
feel well for two or three days.
There are some other interesting things about living in
a high city. Vegetables and rice cook faster. Other food
like cakes and biscuits are not the same here because
our air is different. They also say we are thinner
because we aren’t always hungry like people who live
nearer the sea.
Our winter (May to October) is the dry season.
Chacaltaya Mountain isn’t far by car and the views are
amazing. November to March is summer, the rainy
season, and it’s often cloudy.

Unit 4, Listening and Speaking, exercises 3 and 4
Presenter: You’re listening to Talking About. On
today’s podcast, Charlotte Morden is
talking about how to live on a desert
island. Over to you, Charlotte.
Charlotte: You’re on a boat in the middle of the sea,
there’s a lot of water in the bottom and the
boat is going down. You decide to swim to
the nearest island. What do you take with
you? Some people want to take
everything, their backpack, their sleeping
bag, a full water bottle, things to make a
fire, and so on. But if you can only take
two things, a penknife and some boots are
probably the most useful.
You can use a penknife to cut wild plants,
open fish and make clothes and blankets.
Boots keep your feet dry and safe. If you
don’t wear shoes, you can cut your feet
and they sometimes take weeks to get
better. If your boots are made of plastic,
you can also use them for water.
Next, you must find water. We can live
for over three weeks without food but only
three to four days without water. If there
are trees on your island, there’s water.
Look for the smallest rivers as the water is
cleaner there. And don’t forget to use your
boots to collect the water from a good
thunderstorm.
You can’t just sleep on the floor, it’s
usually freezing at night and there are
often dangerous snakes and insects, too.
Make a fire and build something to sleep
in. Be careful near trees – large fruit can
fall on your head when you’re sleeping!
And finally, of course, if you still have your
mobile phone with you, let people know
where you are!

Unit 5, Reading, exercise 2
My favourite places in Melbourne, Australia. Posted by
Riley Randall
There’s always something to see and do in Melbourne.
Here are some of my favourites.
Eureka Skydeck
3
 Workbook Audioscript
The Eureka Tower is the tallest building in Melbourne.
Ride up to the 88th floor for views of the city from the
Skydeck. When the sun goes down, the city lights are
amazing! Or in November, do the Eureka Climb. The
winner of this race is the fastest person to go up the
1,642 steps!
Melbourne City Baths
The baths are on Swanston Street. The building is over
115 years old, but it has a modern sports centre with
the largest swimming pool in the city centre. My little
sister is learning to swim there at the moment and my
friends and I use the bikes in the gym.
Bourke Street Mall
There isn’t any traffic on this shopping street – it’s for
people and trams only. My friends and I like the trendy
shops. Musicians usually play in the street too. If you’re
hungry, try a doughnut at Doughboys. They’re delicious!
Lido Cinema
There are cinemas everywhere and, in the summer, the
Lido is outdoors. It’s easy to get there from the cycle
lane on Glenferrie Road. I usually have a burger and
chips in a fast-food restaurant with my friends before
the film.

Mel: Hi Scott! Thanks for meeting me at the train
station.
Scott: That’s ok, Mel. I’ve got an app and it’s got a
map of the street art in Bristol, so let’s go
and see some street art! We need to catch
a bus from the stop over there.
Scott: Let’s see. We are on Coombe Road, we
need to turn right into Fishponds Road, and
it’s right there, next to Sandy Lane.
Mel: There it is, over there! A large animal is
wearing something pink over its eyes.
Scott: That’s right! It’s called ‘Masked Gorilla’, it’s
by Banksy and it’s very famous. Let’s take
a photo.
Mel: Where’s next?
Scott: We need to go back along Fishponds Road
again and turn left at Robertson Road. It’s
about five minutes from here. Here we are.
Robertson Road. Our next picture is on the
corner of Foster Street.
Mel: Is that F-O-S-T-E-R? It’s over there on the
right.

Scott: Great. Now look for another Banksy picture;
‘Cat and Dog’. This is one of the first
paintings Banksy did.
Mel: Wow! It’s there, next to the café! It’s more
animals.
Scott: Yeah! You’re right. There are animals in a
lot of his pictures. Another photo?
Mel: And now?
Scott: Let’s go to Stapleton Road Station. There’s
some more good street art there.
Mel: OK!
Scott: We need to go along Robertson Road,
back to Fishponds Road and turn left. Then
we go past a restaurant and the station is
there.
Scott: Can you see the pictures on the wall?
Mel: Yeah, they’re different from the ones by
Banksy. There are people in this one!
You’re lucky! Bristol’s a very trendy place!
Scott: Yeah! I like living here. How are you doing,
Mel? Are you tired?
Mel: No, I’m hungry.
Scott: There’s an Indian restaurant near here or
we can have spicy chicken in an African
restaurant.
Mel: Spicy chicken for me, please!

Unit 6, Reading, exercise 3
Why don’t you check out these awesome animal
sanctuaries? Here are four of our favourite success
stories of people opening amazing places to protect
animals.
1 This sanctuary opened in 1992 and has now got more
than 80 big cats. Some of these were pets before and
others were from zoos or circuses. This place hopes
it can raise awareness and stop more species from
becoming extinct. If you’re near the centre, why don’t
you try the feeding tour?
2 Pandas are cute but also in danger! According to
WWF, in 2014, there were only 1,864 wild giant pandas,
so this sanctuary hopes to return some of the pandas
born there to their natural environment. At this centre,
you can get close to the animals, but please don’t make
too much noise because the pandas get scared.
3 Spend a night at the Black Volta River and explore
their protected area for hippos. There are just two
groups of hippos left in Ghana and this is one of them.
4
 Workbook Audioscript
On a day boat trip, perhaps you’ll see one of the hippos
sleeping in its real habitat!
4 For about 120 years, this island sanctuary was
farmland with few plants or wildlife. Volunteers worked
hard to make this home to more than 300 000 trees
and some of the world’s most endangered birds and
reptiles, including the flightless takahē. Book early for
the boat.
T12
Unit 6, Listening and Speaking, exercises 2 and 3
You’re listening to Animals Today. On today’s podcast
we’re talking about how the St Joseph High School
running team helped some dogs near their school.
There are a lot of dogs in the USA in animal centres
waiting for families to give them a new home. Well,
here’s one cool way some kids and a centre in
California worked together to raise awareness. When
one of the workers at the centre suggested the kids on
a school running team go for a run with the dogs, their
coach Luis Escobar agreed immediately. The kids run
every day anyway, so why not take the dogs with them?
When the team arrived at the centre, the dogs were
really excited to see them and to get outside. They went
for a short run of about two and a half kilometres near
the centre but Fred, one of the smaller dogs, was tired
so Josh, his human partner, carried him to the end.
Josh and Fred are now good friends and Fred is now
living with Josh so there’s a happy ending. Dogs and
humans had great fun. Coach Escobar takes really
good photos and videos. He posted a video of their
run on Facebook, thousands watched it and now other
schools and animal centres are doing the same thing.
Why don’t you donate your time to a centre? You don’t
need to run with the dogs, you can walk, too!
T13
Unit 7, Reading, exercise 2
Who’s your hero? Is it a sports star, a singer, an actor
or perhaps someone in your town? We asked you about
your heroes and here are the most popular.
Lionel Messi
Many of you wrote about one of the best footballers in
the world. Messi began playing football in Argentina, but
he moved to FC Barcelona when he was 13. Three
years later, he started playing in the first team. Messi
also donates his time to UNICEF and he’s one of their
Goodwill Ambassadors.
Ariana Grande

Singer and actor Ariana Grande was also one of your
favourites. She began her career in the theatre, later on
television and then started making albums. When she
isn’t performing, she works with charities. When she
was just ten she helped form a charity group called Kids
Who Care.
Teachers
A lot of you wrote about amazing teachers, like Zhang
Lili from China. She pushed her students away from a
bus which was out of control and lost both her legs.
Another teacher in Iran visited one of his students in
hospital every day to tell him about his classes. And
Rajesh Kumar Sharma in India opened a free school
under a bridge for New Delhi’s poorest children.
We’d love to hear about your hero! Send us an email at

Presenter: In our series on ‘Young Heroes’, I’m
talking to Hamish Wright about a rescue in
Thailand. Hamish, what happened
exactly?
Hamish: On Saturday 23rd June 2018, a boys’
football team decided to cycle to the Tham
Luang cave after practice. They left their
bikes outside and 12 of them aged
between 11 and 17 went into the cave
with their 25-year-old coach.
Presenter: Wasn’t this dangerous?
Hamish: Yes, it was but many young people in the
area love going into these caves. They
wanted to stay for an hour but they were
there for two weeks.
Presenter: Why did this happen?
Hamish: It started raining and there was more and
more and more water in the cave. They
moved to find somewhere which wasn’t
dangerous. They sat together to keep
warm and waited for help.
Presenter: What did their families do when they didn’t
come home?
Hamish: They found their bikes outside the caves
and rang the police. Soon, police officers,
divers, volunteers, journalists and
photographers arrived, but nobody had
much experience of diving in caves.

3 You will hear a girl and her mum talking in a clothes
shop. What do they agree on?
Girl: What do you think, Mum?
Woman: Well, I like it. You look good in green. But
maybe you need a smaller size.
Girl: No, it’s OK. I want to wear sweaters under
it. But it’s a bit expensive.
Woman: I think it’s a good price for a winter jacket.
Do you like it?
Girl: Yes, I do. It’s very comfortable and it’s my
favourite colour.
Woman: Great! Let’s get it, then.

For each question, choose the correct answer.
You will hear Abbey talking to Pete about types of
entertainment.
Pete: Hello, Abbey! I saw your brother today. He
said you went to see a band together last
night.
Abbey: Yes, we saw a really cool band. The music
was a bit too loud for me though. My
brother loved it – he’s going again next
week!
Pete: So you prefer entertainment that’s a bit less
noisy?
Abbey: Yes, that’s right. For example, I love going
to the theatre. My cousin Sally is an actor,
so I often go with her mother, my aunt, to
watch her act in a play. Tomorrow, we’re
going to see a play that’s about a school in
the future. It’s a bit different and maybe a
little bit strange!
Pete: Wow! So you like going out a lot. What
things do you like doing at home?
Abbey: Well, my sister likes playing computer
games with her friends. I like playing too,
but I usually play with my dad because we
like similar games. It’s so much fun, but I
find a lot of games really hard!
Pete: Me too! Do you watch much TV at home?
