Exercise 3  01
Just do it!
A lot of hair-raising activities like doing a parachute jump
or zip-lining are great fun but they can cost an arm and a
leg. Trying a new skill can be free and just as cool! Why not
do something you’ve never done before?
Let me share my experience of acting in the school play.
To be honest, at first I didn’t want to because it was a
musical and I’ve never sung in public before. But my
drama teacher believed in me and she thought I was good
enough, so eventually I agreed. I knew I was in safe hands
because she is very kind and patient. She told me to let
my hair down and I would enjoy the new experience. She
was right – I loved it. We practised every day after school
and after a couple of weeks, I wasn’t afraid any more. I got
cold feet before the first performance because I’ve never
stood up in front of so many people before – I was afraid I
would forget the words or make a mistake but I didn’t! My
parents came to see it and they said it was amazing. They
laughed their heads off too – that’s good, because it was a
comedy!
A big thank you to my teacher and friends for their
support and I’ll see you for next year’s play! I can’t wait.
So, my advice to all my readers: don’t be afraid to try
something new. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any
better experience!

Kasia Hi Ola. How are you?
Ola Hmm, not great, Kasia. I’m really stressed out about
something.
Kasia Oh dear, what’s happened?
Ola Well, I agreed to act in the school play next month
but I forgot it’s my dad’s birthday the weekend of the play,
and we’re going to the beach. I don’t know how to tell Mrs
Nowak.
Kasia Don’t worry, just be honest. It’s not your fault. She’ll
understand.
Ola Yes, you’re right, she’s really nice. Anyway, how are you,
Kasia?
Kasia I’m fine but I’m nervous about my first day of work at
the café on Saturday.
Ola I think you’ll do a great job. Remember to ask if you
don’t know what to do, and listen carefully. You’re good at
speaking to people so the customers will like you.
Kasia I’m afraid of making a mistake with the bill. I’m bad
at maths.
Ola Everybody will understand it’s your first day. Don’t
worry. Have you seen Paulina?
Kasia No, why?
Ola She was interested in acting in the school play. I think
maybe I can go with her to see Mrs Nowak.
Kasia Great idea. She can take your part. That’s really
helpful.
Ola Can you help me find her?
Kasia Of course. Let’s go.

Interviewer What are you afraid of, Jess?
Jess Spiders. I can’t stay in a room with a spider. I can’t
even look at a picture of one. Argh! They’re horrible.
Interviewer That sounds like a phobia. What about heights?
Are you nervous about high places?
Jess No, not at all. I’ve climbed mountains and I’ve never
been afraid.
Presenter 2
Interviewer Do you ever get nervous about things like
heights or snakes, Joe?
Joe Not really. But I’m scared of going to the dentist. I get
really nervous when I go to the dentist.
Interviewer That isn’t really a phobia, is it? I mean, not
many people like going to the dentist, do they?
Joe You’re right. I suppose it isn’t a real phobia.

Interviewer Is there anything that you’re really afraid of,
Lily?
Lily Oh, yes. I’m afraid of mice. I can’t go into places where
there are mice.
Interviewer It sounds like a real phobia.
Lily Yes, it is. My grandparents live on a farm and there are
mice in the buildings. I can’t go in them.

Interviewer Paul, I believe you had a phobia of spiders?
Paul That’s right. It was horrible! I panicked every time I
saw a real one. I was even scared of toy spiders.
Interviewer But spiders here aren’t very dangerous.
PHOTOCOPIABLE © Oxford University Press 1
Paul That’s true, but that’s not the point. It’s a phobia, not
a fear, so my reaction wasn’t logical.
Interviewer So how did it affect you?
Paul I couldn’t breathe or move and sometimes I
screamed and cried! I was scared in the bathroom because
spiders love hanging out in the bath. My parents needed
to check the bathroom before I went in.
Interviewer You’re OK now, so what therapy did you have
for your phobia?
Paul I didn’t have any therapy, I used an amazing phone
app. It’s a special treatment for phobias. It works if you’re
scared of dogs and snakes, too.
Interviewer So how does it work?
Paul You play video games with cartoon spiders. At first,
they look cute and friendly. Then they gradually get more
realistic. Because it’s a game, you forget about the spiders.
Interviewer Do you think the app can help my phobia of
heights?
Paul I’m not sure, but why don’t you try it?
Interviewer Yes, I will. And how do you feel about spiders
now?
Paul Well, they don’t scare me any more. I can go into the
bathroom alone and I don’t panic if I see a spider. I don’t
want one as a pet though!

at the Academy of Music in Poznań and it has been a
great experience. When I first arrived, I was worried about
communicating because I didn’t know any words in
Polish. On my first day here, I went for a walk and I got
lost! I was very stressed, but a friendly passer-by knew
how to speak English and gave me directions back to my
accommodation.
Sophie Hi! I’m on a summer cultural exchange in Warsaw.
I’ve had an awesome trip so far, made a lot of new friends
and got to know different cultures. There are people from

I didn’t understand the lessons but the Polish students
helped and we now have a study group to help each

My year out blog – Journal of a backpacker
Hi guys! This is my sixth month of travel and I’m having
a fantastic time. For new readers, here are some of the
places I’ve already visited: five European countries, plus
Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Japan and South Korea. And now
I’m in New Zealand!
New Zealand is a very special country for me because my
dad was born here in 1981. When he was two, his parents
moved to the UK and settled there. I’ve always wanted to
visit, and here I am at last.
The first thing I did when I arrived in Auckland was to
take a bus to Tauranga in the North Island. It’s a beautiful
town with fantastic beaches. People there are crazy about
sailing. I found my dad’s family home and took lots of
photos. A young couple lives there now.
When I told them about my dad, they invited me to a
barbecue in the garden. So kind!
Right now, I’m back in Auckland. I’m staying in a hostel for
backpackers. I’ll probably stay here for a while because
my money is getting low. I’ve applied for a few jobs, but
I haven’t had any luck yet. I need to work for at least two
months. My plan is to travel around the South Island.
August is winter here, and it’s still very cold down south.
PHOTOCOPIABLE © Oxford University Press 2
There are lots of things I haven’t done or seen yet – I’d love
to see a real kiwi.
New Zealand is definitely one of the most beautiful
countries I’ve visited so far. I’ve met so many lovely people.
I’ll be very sad to leave. I may come back and settle down
here one day! Who knows?

Sylwia An important event in my life was passing my
driving test. But it wasn’t easy! I already failed it twice so I
was very nervous before I took it for the third time. You can
imagine how happy I was when I passed. I was so relieved
that I hugged the examiner!
It’s fantastic to be independent. It has changed my life.
Before, I spent ages on the bus, or my parents drove me
around. At first, Dad lent me his car. Then I bought an
old car from my cousin. He owns a garage so I know it’s
in good condition. I’ve had it for six months now and
nothing has gone wrong yet. If there’s a problem, my
cousin says he’ll repair it.
Zosia I was born and grew up in Lublin and I loved it there.
I had lots of friends and hobbies, so it was a shock when
my parents said we were moving to Australia because
of Dad’s job. At first, I was unhappy because I missed my
home. And I didn’t know anyone, so I was lonely. But
when I started school, things got better. I’ve been here for
three months now and I love the outdoor life and relaxed
lifestyle. I’ve already made lots of new friends and I’ve
joined a theatre group. I feel really enthusiastic about my
new life. I haven’t returned home since we arrived. We’re
planning to go at Christmas, so I’m looking forward to that.

A long journey
Saroo Brierley was born in India. He lived with his mother
and brothers in the town of Khandwa until the age of five.
Then, a terrible event changed his life. This is his story.
dla Klasy VII   Workbook Audio Scripts
Saroo’s father left his family when he was very young. His
brother Guddu sometimes cleaned trains to earn money.
One night, Saroo travelled with his brother by train to
Burhanpur. Guddu told him to wait on the platform until
he returned. But he didn’t come back. Saroo climbed into
an empty train to look for him but he was very tired and
after a while he fell asleep.
When he woke up, the train was crossing strange
countryside. At last, it arrived in Calcutta, 1,500 kilometres
from his home. Saroo lived on the streets there until a kind
person took him to a police station. They couldn’t find his
parents, so they sent him to a centre for lost children. A
few months later, an Australian couple adopted him and
he went to live in Australia.
Saroo loved his new parents, but he never forgot his
origins. One day, he decided to search for his birth mother.
After three years, he located his birth place on Google
Earth. He travelled to Khandwa and met his mother after
being separated for 20 years.
In 2013, he published his book A Long Way Home. In 2016,
Hollywood made it into a successful film called Lion.

Presenter 1
Karolina I’ve moved around all my life because of my dad’s
job. Until I was 12 years old, I started a new school every
two years. It was really difficult. I always felt really lonely on
the first day of school because everyone else knew each
other. I was a shy child and found it very difficult to make
friends. I was a good student, so I just worked hard and
got good grades. I’ve been in this school for three years
now, and I’ve got a lot of friends. I still work hard, and I’m
relieved I don’t have to change schools again.
Presenter 2
Ewa I changed schools when I was 11 and I was really
happy. I didn’t like my old school, so I was excited about
moving and had no problem adapting immediately. My
first school was girls only, there were a lot of rules and I
hated the uniform! I’ve been at my new school now for
four years and I love it! It’s boys and girls and it’s closer to
my house. I have a lot of new friends. I was lucky, because
I know a lot of students get very anxious and depressed
when they move.
Presenter 3
Peter I’ve been at the same school since I was 4! I was
born in this small village and we’ve lived here since then.
I’ve known most of my friends for years and we spend all
our time together. I feel sorry when new students start at
the school and I always make friends with them, because I
think it can be very difficult. I think these new students are
very brave. I’m not very confident, so I don’t think I’d like to
change schools. I like things to stay the same!
Presenter 4
Max I’ve just moved to a new school. I was very worried
and nervous before the term started but it’s been fine. I
like the teachers and they ask me regularly if I’m OK. My
brother is also at the school, so we help each other. I’ve
made a couple of new friends and generally everyone
is helpful and kind. I’ve joined the football team and the

Tomorrow’s World
What the experts say about the future of tourism.
Within the next five years, tourists will go on city breaks to
learn new skills – cooking classes and language lessons
will be just as important as sightseeing tours. For people
who want to visit new cities without falling into expensive
tourist traps, there will be more opportunities to exchange
houses at no cost!
In the future, travellers will have to go further to get away
from hordes of tourists. But because of low-cost flights
it will be easier to visit countries that are further afield.
People who used to holiday in Croatia will travel to Egypt.
Lake Nasser may be the new Lake Vrana – especially if you
like fishing!
In ten years’ time, hotel rooms will be so technologically
advanced that travellers who need to get away from it all
will not even have to leave their rooms. Pillows will gently
vibrate to wake you up in the morning. Robots will deliver
your meals directly to your room. Screens will show videos
of fitness trainers for you to exercise with.

Accommodation with a difference
Many people who live in an apartment in the city want to
find interesting and fun accommodation for their holiday.
Check out our weird and wonderful options.
Manta Resort, Zanzibar
This island resort has beach-side villas but we recommend
the Underwater Room! You don’t usually see wildlife like
this out of your window! At night, spotlights attract the
fish and octopuses.
Bed and Bookfast, Tokyo
Perfect accommodation for book lovers. It looks like a
small bookstore with over 3,000 books on all subjects. You
can read all night long if you want. Because behind the
shelves is a comfortable bed!
Costa Verde Hotel, Costa Rica
Spend the night in an old 1965 Boeing 727. The plane is
now a two-bedroom luxury B&B. Sit on the terrace out on
the wing and enjoy the views. You can see the jungle and
the ocean.
Happy Nomads Village, Kyrgyzstan
Experience traditional Kyrgyz life in one of three large
yurts. These round tents can each accommodate five
people. They’re simple but comfortable with shared
bathrooms.
Vintage Get-aways, UK
Rent a caravan from the 1950s. They all have 21st-century
comforts but take you back to the past. They sleep four
people and the campsite is set in a beautiful valley.
Brownscombe House, UK
Experience a weekend house party with a difference. Play
the part of a guest in a ‘murder mystery’ game. There are
roles for all members of the family.
House in the Hills, Northern Thailand
Meet the locals and learn about Thai culture at this
homestay set in the beautiful mountains of Thailand. You
are invited to join the family for all your meals. They also
offer activities – from cooking classes to forest walks.

Marcus Did you?
Faye Yes, I went with my sister, Fiona. She’s 18, so my mum
and dad said it was OK.
Marcus Is it as good as they say?
Faye Oh, yes, it’s amazing. You can’t really see the bands on
the main stage because it’s difficult to get near the front,
but there are huge screens, so we watched on those.
Marcus Who did you see?
Faye Well, the big names were who you’d expect, but the
best things we saw were on smaller stages. We found a
circus tent with some brilliant performers.
Marcus Sounds interesting.
Faye Yeah, we had to shelter some of the time because it
was really rainy. Luckily, there are plenty of tents with fun
things going on inside, like the circus one.
Marcus Did you experience the famous mud?
Faye Oh, yes, we got very muddy – and we couldn’t find
our tent one night. It’s such a huge place. That was a bit
scary, but we found it in the end.
Marcus Well, I lost my tent, too, and I was just at a small
festival. This was a few weeks ago. I spent about an hour
looking for it!
Faye Which festival did you go to?
Marcus Oh, it’s one near where my aunt lives in
Cheltenham, called Wychwood Festival. There were about
6,000 people, I think – lots of families with children. We
went with my little cousins, and we all loved it. I did a
workshop on rapping, and my dad learned to play the
guitar!
Faye Your dad? No way! Maybe I’ll come next year. Is it on

My Style
Hi guys
This week, I’m blogging about what I like (and don’t like)
doing in my free time.
My favourite free-time activity is watching funny videos
on my tablet. My mum says I spend too much time online.
She says it’s important to read good books, but I prefer
reading fashion magazines.
I’m not very sporty – we have to play football at school
and I hate it. I prefer individual sports like swimming
dla Klasy VII   Workbook Audio Scripts
and running. I often go swimming with my friend, Lily,
after school. It keeps me fit and I don’t feel so bad about
spending a lot of time online!
My second favourite activity is shopping! I love clothes
and I save all my money to buy them. It’s important for
me to be trendy. I look through the latest magazines for
clothes I like and then go shopping. I’m different from
my best friends. Ania loves old-fashioned clothes and she
always wants to go to vintage markets and charity shops.
Karina is more casual – I think she looks a bit scruffy. I enjoy
going shopping with them but it takes us a long time
because we have to go to different shops. We laugh about
how different we are.
At our school, emos mix with hipsters and geeks with
sporty types. It’s good that people from different tribes
and with varied interests can be friends.

Presenter Education with a difference
Interviewer All 5- to 16-year-olds in Britain must have
an education, but it doesn’t have to be at school. Some
children study at home with their parents. In past
generations, home education was usually for children
who lived too far from the nearest school, or had health
problems. But these days, some parents choose to
homeschool their children. Amy is 14 and she studies at
home with her younger brother, Jamie.
Interviewer Why did your parents decide to homeschool
you, Amy?
Amy I was fed up at school. It was very strict and I was
rebellious so I was getting into trouble. At first I disagreed
with their decision to homeschool me, but now I
understand the reasons.
Interviewer Do you like studying at home?
Amy Yes, I love it. At first there were misunderstandings,
but now I am more mature and we communicate much
better.
Interviewer What subjects do you study?
Amy I have to do all the same subjects as other
schoolchildren, but I make my own timetable and can
change it when I need to.
Interviewer Do you feel lonely studying at home?
Amy Not at all. I’ve got lots of friends who are
homeschooled too, and if I work hard, I get to go on field
trips and do activities with them as a reward.
PHOTOCOPIABLE © Oxford University Press 7
Interviewer What’s the best thing about homeschooling?
Amy No stupid rules! I respect my parents and they
respect me. I think some schools are intolerant and don’t
understand teenagers.

Summertown?
Maria No, I sometimes go there, but not today. I got these
in the Animal Sanctuary shop. I love animals, so it’s great
to be able to support them by shopping in a charity shop.
My absolute favourite charity shop is the Blue Cross shop.
That’s another animal charity, so I know my money is
going to a good cause.
Adam I see.
Maria And the shops are all near each other in the same
area, so it’s really easy. Do you go into charity shops?
Adam Oh, yes. I love them. I usually go to the ones in
the town centre, and I get the books I want from there
because they’re so much cheaper.
Maria Oh, so you go to the Oxfam shop on Broad Street?
Adam Well, no, I don’t usually go there – not to that one.
You know, it’s the original one, and that makes it a bit
special. But I think the prices are a bit higher there because
of that, and it’s on a tourist street, too. There are two other
Oxfam shops not far from that one, and there’s a special

Exciting weekend experiences
Have you been anywhere exciting recently? Here are three
amazing places in the UK that are perfect for a day out!
There is nothing like a visit to Big Pit Coal Museum in
Wales. No one works there now, but guides take visitors
90 metres underground inside the mine. Everyone wears
helmets and headlamps. During the tour, you turn your
lamps off, so you have a real miner’s experience. After the
tour, you can visit the miners’ museum.
This is somewhere everyone must visit once.
For a thrilling experience, go on a Secret City Tour of
Edinburgh. There are ghosts everywhere under the city!
In the past, people lived in the filthy, wet tunnels. Lots of
people died down there and their ghosts still walk around
today – so they say!
I’ve never been anywhere like it!
Everyone who visits London should go on the London Eye.
It’s a huge wheel near the River Thames and it’s the UK’s
most popular tourist attraction. You get a 30-minute ride
in a glass capsule with fantastic views of London. It’s an
exciting day out.
Nowhere in London has views like the London Eye!

Exercises 4 & 5  51
In my opinion, the most important reason for conservation
is to protect the ecosystem. All the plants and animals
that live in one place form an ecosystem. They need each
other to survive. If an ecosystem changes, the animals and
plants have to adapt. If they don’t adapt, they will die.
I believe that hunting and the destruction of habitats
are the main threats to wildlife. The threat to some wild
animals is huge. At the moment, there are about 1.8
million plant and animal species on earth, and 40 percent
of these species are endangered. Scientists believe that
if we don’t do something, over half of these species
will become extinct in 100 years. If we want to see wild
animals in the future, we need to take care of our planet.
Additionally, we get many medicines from rare plants
and animals. Keeping these species alive is important for
our health. A flower called the rosy periwinkle contains
chemicals that are essential for cancer treatment.
There is one more reason we need wildlife – for our
enjoyment. The world would be a boring place without
our beautiful plants and animals.
These are some of the things we can all do to protect our
wildlife and save these endangered species: we need to be
environmentally-friendly, donate and volunteer at wildlife
foundations and forest preserves, and respect wildlife and
conservation laws. And – don’t drop litter!

My name’s Sally Simms and I work here in the national
park. Before you go camping in the park, you should think
carefully about what you’re going to take. Your backpack
shouldn’t be too heavy, so only take things you really
need. It can be very hot in August, so you should wear
a hat and use sun cream. And remember, you can’t take
dogs into the park. So please leave your pets at home. If
you go hiking, you should always go with another person
into the mountains. It’s dangerous to go alone. You should
take a bottle of water and some food, and don’t eat wild
fruit because it may be dangerous. Finally, remember, you
shouldn’t leave any rubbish. Most of all, have a fun time
and enjoy the beautiful countryside.

supporters get on the news and social media, and then
the public know about it.
Maya But the public can’t do anything.
Jacob I can’t believe you’re saying that! We always have to
try and make big businesses respect the environment. We
can sign petitions, or organize a demonstration, or write
letters to the government. Loads of things. Greenpeace
has made lots of businesses change their actions.
Maya I guess you’re right – businesses don’t like negative
publicity, do they?
Jacob Exactly.
Maya But I still think it’s better to do things to raise money
for charities like WWF, who are saving animals and their
habitats. We had a cake sale at our school, and next month
we are doing a sponsored swim, too.

There are lots of different ways to learn a language. It’s
important to try different methods and find the one or
ones that suit you.
You could try writing words in English on sticky notes and
stick them around the house so you see them every day.
Say phone numbers out loud and make shopping lists in
English.
Or try listening to English podcasts and songs if you walk
or cycle to school, or read English magazines if you travel
to school by bus.
Alternatively, watch TV and videos online in English. You
may not understand a lot, but the visuals will help you
understand the main idea. You could also turn on the
English subtitles for more support.
Here’s some advice:
Firstly, little and often is best. Ten minutes every day is
more effective and manageable than a longer period.
Secondly, remember, mistakes are an important part of
learning. Have a go – you never know what you can do
until you try!
Finally, find a friend to learn with. It’s more fun and you can
share tips and learning strategies.

comic books. He also likes unusual clothes and accessories,
but he won’t wear anything that isn’t sustainable. He hates
waste or anything that damages the environment. He’s
also against buying things that are not made of natural
materials, so plastic is out. And he also hates sport! Any
bright ideas?
Bro You could get him a subscription to his local library.
You can’t get more sustainable than that! Only joking! You
say he likes music. How about a water-resistant Bluetooth
speaker, so he can listen to music in the shower? I saw
some cool ones on a gadget website. I’d love to have one
for my birthday!
Jive If he likes unusual things, you could get something
made of fish leather? My dad has an awesome tie that
is made of salmon skin. I imagine your cousin wouldn’t
want a tie. But how about a belt or a wallet? The leather
is lightweight but very strong. It’s even used to make
shoes! Some companies are using it instead of snake or
crocodile skin because it’s more eco-friendly. The leather is
produced in Iceland.

long brown, silky ears and bright expressive eyes. His body
is a sort of pale brownish colour. I had other soft toys but
Noni has always been my favourite.
Oscar We have a wooden rocking chair at home that I
love. The wood is greyish and smooth because it’s so old.
It has a simple design, and it’s very comfortable. I believe
it was made by my great grandfather, then it was given to
my father. It has been in our living room since I was born.
I remember playing on it with my brother when we were
little. I can’t imagine the house without it.
Harry I have a small laughing Buddha sculpture on my
bedside table. It’s very special because it’s a holiday
souvenir of Vietnam. I went there with my parents two
years ago. It was fantastic. It’s made of stone and it’s a
yellowish colour. I love holding it as it feels smooth and
hard. And he makes me smile when I wake up in the
morning.
Clara I have an old necklace that my mum gave me. It
used to belong to my grandmother, and I think it was
given to her by her mother. It’s oval and heavy. The
decorations are pinkish and white. I think they are made
of shell. I don’t wear it because it’s a bit old-fashioned. It
reminds me of my grandmother, so I love it.

Creative recycling ideas
Hi, I’m Katalina and I decided to do some research to see
how people are recycling things at home.
So many products are single-use and I hate throwing
them away. I learned that upcycling is a way of recycling
creatively. Things you aren’t using any more can be
changed into different useful products.
So, here is what I found out:
Old toothbrushes are used for household cleaning; their
size is perfect for cleaning in small places.
Plastic bottles are adapted to make plant pots. The middle
is cut out, flowers are planted and then they are hung on a
garden wall.
Earrings and other jewellery are made from plastic and
wood buttons.
Decorations are created from cardboard rolls. They are cut
and painted and turned into different shapes.
I’m going to try all these ideas except the plant pots,
because I don’t have a garden! I’ll post some photos when
I’ve finished.

c – 23rd April
Our PE teacher, Mrs Evans, gave us a talk on healthy
lifestyles today. She explained how our lifestyle today will
affect our health in the future. It was scary. Some serious
diseases are caused by not getting enough exercise or
eating a bad diet. Mrs Evans gave us a quiz to do at home.
I’ve just finished it. The result? I have lots of bad habits!
I’ll have to change …
a – 25th April
I showed my quiz result to Mrs Evans and asked her for
help. She gave me a healthy lifestyle plan. My friend Dave
is a couch potato like me, so we’re going to follow the plan
together to support each other. We must get fit and cut
our screen-time. And we should also improve our social
life and not spend hours on social media. That won’t be
easy. I’m going to keep a diary to record everything.
d – 4th May
End of week one: we’re off to a good start. We’ve run 5
kilometres every evening. Breathing was difficult at first,
especially running uphill, but today was easier. We’re going
to do 8 kilometres next week. I’ve also stopped eating
between meals and I’ve given up crisps and soda. That
was easy. I’ll have to eat more fruit and vegetables. I went
bowling with friends and had fun.
b – 11th May
Week two is over and we’re doing well. I’m feeling good
and I’ve got plenty of energy. My stamina has improved.
I can run 8 kilometres no problem. Dave’s the same.
Next week, we’re going to hike in the mountains. That’ll
motivate us, and we’ll get some fresh air. I went to a party
and DANCED – new for me! I had lots of crisps and fizzy
drinks too – not so good. But the plan says we can’t do
everything right all the time.

Presenter Have you made a New Year resolution? We asked
four young people about their resolutions this year. Here’s
what they said.
Gina Hi, I’m Gina. I often eat kebabs or burgers and chips,
and they’re full of fat. I also eat a lot of sweet snacks
between meals. I love cakes and chocolate biscuits. My
skin doesn’t look good and I get tired easily. Mum says
it’s my unhealthy diet. I can’t give up everything, but I’m
going to try to eat less junk food. It won’t be easy, but
Mum’s going to help me.
Steve Hello. My name’s Steve. I’ve spent the Christmas
holidays watching TV, eating sweets and drinking fizzy
drinks. My resolution is to do more exercise, and eat less
sugar. I’m going to play badminton and go to the gym
to get in shape. I’m going to drink water instead of fizzy
drinks and eat nuts instead of sweets. We’ll see how long
it lasts!
Karl Hi! I’m Karl. I’ve got some bad eating habits. The
doctor has given me a diet plan with the amount of
calories I can have each day. She says that I need to reduce
the carbohydrates and fat that I eat. But I need a balanced
diet with enough protein and vitamins. I must also eat

cheese and yoghurt because I need calcium for my teeth
and bones.
Elisa Hi! I’m Elisa. I’m more interested in being healthy than
losing weight. I don’t think it’s a good idea to think about
all the things that you shouldn’t eat. Instead, I think you
should try to think about the nutrients your body needs
and focus on that. That’s my resolution this year!

How to change your eating habits
Vegetarian and vegan diets are taking off everywhere.
The environmental benefits of a diet free of meat and dairy
are well known. But how easy (or difficult) is it to give up
meat and dairy? And is it safe? Here is some advice from
an expert.
How do I know what type of diet is for me?
Changing your eating habits is a personal decision and a
big lifestyle change. You have to decide what type of diet
is right for you. But you can’t do it alone. The first thing to
do is talk to your family.
How do I start?
My advice is to begin by gradually giving up meat. Don’t
do it overnight because you may not be able to keep it
up. When you’re comfortable with a vegetarian diet, you
can start replacing dairy products with vegan alternatives.
But discuss it with your parents first because they do the
shopping.
If I stop eating meat and dairy, where do I get protein?
A balanced vegan diet is perfectly safe, as top sports
stars have shown. Many people worry about not getting
enough protein, but lots of plant-based food is full of
protein. Just make sure you eat plenty of lentils, beans and
nuts. Tofu is another high-protein option.
What about other nutrients?
You can take vitamin tablets if you are worried that you
aren’t getting enough. But there are lots of vitamins in fruit
and vegetables.
dla Klasy VII   Workbook Audio Scripts
What do I do if I’m invited out to eat or to stay at a
friend’s house?
These days, lots of restaurants have vegan options, like
pasta or salads. You can even eat chips! Before you stay
with a friend, make sure they know that you don’t eat
meat. You could offer to take something if you’re worried
about creating extra work.
What if I don’t like vegetables?
In that case, I don’t think you should consider changing
your diet!

Boy 1 I spoke to close friends and we decided to get fit
together. None of us like the gym so we took up running.
Three times a week we meet in the park and run five
kilometres. We listen to music or chat as we run and it’s
really good fun. My muscles hurt after the first day but I’m
getting used to it.
Presenter 2
Girl 1 I was very stressed and I wasn’t sleeping. My friend
recommended yoga. I laughed because I couldn’t imagine
myself making those shapes with my body or being able
to relax. Anyway, I went to a class and loved it. I think the
breathing exercises are very useful because they help you
to relax. When I feel anxious now, I do the yoga breathing
and immediately feel better.
Presenter 3
Girl 2 I was so unfit, I couldn’t go up the stairs to my
classroom on the third floor. I could hardly breathe, so
I had to take the lift! I don’t do any sports at school so I
decided to go to the gym. The staff were very helpful and
they made a gym plan for me. I go three times a week.
Some days I run on the machines and sometimes I do a
workout to make my leg and arm muscles stronger. Now I
can run up the stairs to my classroom and I feel so good.
Presenter 4
Boy 2 I love junk food, fizzy drinks and sweet things and
never worried about what I ate. Then a few weeks ago I
noticed that I had no energy and my skin looked terrible.
I spoke to my doctor who advised me to change my diet
and start taking vitamins. I now eat more vegetables and
salad. I’ve cut out a lot of sweet things and cut down on
carbohydrates. My energy levels are better and my skin
looks great.

Mum I’m trying to understand why it’s so important for
you to spend so much time online.
Jan I spend less time than the average teenager – that’s
two hours a day.
Mum Sure, but that’s because I limit your time!
PHOTOCOPIABLE © Oxford University Press 13
Jan It’s different to your day, Mum. We use it to
communicate with each other.
Mum So why do you have to post comments, photos and
status updates so often?
Jan Because all my friends do and I like to see what they
are doing and show them what I’m up to.
Mum I never see you talking to your friends on the phone.
Jan It’s easier and quicker to write a message or just send
an emoji.
Mum That’s so weird. Oh, another thing – we never watch
films together as a family any more. You watch films on
your laptop in your bedroom.
Jan That’s because you like romantic comedies, Dad likes
documentaries, Ewa likes cartoons and I like sci-fi.
Mum I know. But I think we should have at least one family
film night every month.
Jan OK – and we can take turns to choose.
Mum How about staying safe online? Do you know what
to do?
Jan Yes, we get lessons about it at school. I never share
information or make friends with people I don’t know, and
I never give out personal details.
Mum Do you check your privacy settings too?
Jan Yes, Mum.
Mum OK, good. Why didn’t you accept my Facebook
request?
Jan That’s so embarrassing, Mum!

which picture to use to end my presentation. What do you

Artur I like this one of you and your family.
Magda Yes, so do I, but I’ve already used another picture of
my family at the start of my presentation. How about this
picture of my dog, Woofer?

to do?
Dad Yes, I think so. I’ve always loved aeroplanes and
travelling. But your grandfather wanted me to be a doctor.
Boy Really? Why?
Dad He wanted a doctor or a dentist in the family. But I
think he’s happy with the job I chose, especially since he
can fly for free now!

Reader I love my job. Some people think it’s unusual for a
woman, but I’ve always loved engines. It’s not an easy job,
I often have to get on the floor and lie under the cars to fix
the problem, and my hands are always dirty with grease.
But I love going to the garage every day and working with
the different tools. In a way, it’s a bit like being a doctor,
but instead of helping people feel better, I help cars!

it’ll be a very different life to what we know.

probably live in underground tunnels instead.
