Model answer Hi Ben, Thank you for your email. It was great to hear from you and it sounds like you go to a great school and live in a very nice area. As you know, Iʼm from a very small town in France, but I have a lot of friends and we do lots of things together. Recently, three of us went to Paris on a day trip. We all love shopping, so we spent quite a lot of money! As well as that, we went to see a new horror film in the afternoon. I love films, donʼt you? My best mate is a girl called Janine. Weʼve been friends for ten years – since we started first school together. Sheʼs really kind and considerate and much cleverer than I am! Weʼve got a lot of interests in common – like swimming and tennis. We also like the same music and film stars. I have quite a small family. Thereʼs just my mum and dad and me and a younger brother called Michel. We usually go on holiday once or twice a year and last month we spent a week in Norway. It was a bit cold, but very beautiful and we had a great time. Write soon! Love, Chantal 8 Paragraph 1: thanks and apologies Paragraph 2: recent activities – college, hobbies, etc. Paragraph 3: Daniel, best friend Paragraph 4: asking about Rafael and for a quick reply 9 Paragraph 2: As you know, Iʼve just left school and started college.

The tiger has striped skin as well as striped fur and its bones are used for medicine. The crocodile canʼt chew. Its offspring are male or female, depending on the temperature. Polar bears can swim long distances. The male turtles stay at sea all the time. 1C 2C 3B 4A 5B 6B 7A 8C 4 1 always enjoy 2 had 3 been doing, havenʼt quite finished 4 Did you see 5 has been 6 told 7 been playing 8 went 5 1 spray-can/aerosol can 2 baggy 3 guitarist 4 spoiled 5 rebel 6 trendsetter 02 Wild Reading (SB pages 18–19) 1 3 Studentsʼ own answers. 1 species 2 conservation 3 warming 4 change 5 destruction 6 logging 7 erosion 8 gases 2 4 Studentsʼ own answers. 1 caps 2 rise 3 waves 4 about 5 turn down 6 transport 7 solar 8 fuels 3 Studentsʼ own answers. 5 4 Studentsʼ own answers. 1 c 2b 3f 4a 5g 6e Grammar (SB page 21) 5 1 1 stroke 2 ecology 3 preying on 4 hooked 5 getting at 6 a teacherʼs pet 7 fins 8 plummeted 9 a reflex action 10 a defence mechanism 11 chain mail 12 slaughtered 1 Did you have 2 were going (to go) 3 had all been saving 4 were always begging 5 had been raining 6 were sitting 7 heard 8 all ran 9 had only just disappeared 10 had fallen 11 were getting 12 turned up 13 had worked 14 had organised 6 2 Studentsʼ own answers. 1 was beginning 2 had discovered 3 Weʼd been driving 4 made 5 was beating 6 was always begging 7 were just starting 8 heard 9 were still thinking 10 crashed 7 Studentsʼ own answers.

Model answer It had been a long day. Max was travelling in the car with his parents and sister Stella on the way home from the airport. Theyʼd just come back from a wonderful holiday in Spain. They were all very tired. Stella was asleep on the back seat and Max could hear her snoring! He was watching the countryside go past, although he couldnʼt see much because it was getting foggy. It was nice to be back in his own country, but he wasnʼt looking forward to going back to school the next day. Suddenly, Max saw something big and dark coming out of the fog, just ahead of them. ʻDad!ʼ he shouted. The car screamed to a stop. Luckily, they were all wearing seat belts. ʻWhat was that?ʼ asked Stella. They all got out of the car and there, running along the side of the road, was a group of wild deer. There were three or four big ones and several smaller ones that were probably babies. Max thought about the deer all the way home. He had never seen wild deer before. They were so beautiful. ʻWhat an amazing day!ʼ Max whispered to himself as he got into bed that night.

Model answer Studying science is really important for some students, particularly those who want to have careers in science and become doctors or scientists. However, not everyone enjoys biology, chemistry and physics. In many countries students have to continue studying sciences until they leave school, even though they donʼt enjoy it. Is this right? I donʼt think so. Firstly, students who donʼt enjoy the subjects will not concentrate and this can affect the whole class. Surely, it is much better to allow them to choose different subjects that interest them more? By fourteen, students have learned the basic, important things about science that they need to know. Secondly, there are so many subjects on the school curriculum today that itʼs difficult to fit them all in. Some people say that students need to have more time for sport, whereas others say they should study more languages. If we make science subjects optional for students over fourteen, there will be more time for other subjects. In conclusion, I must say that allowing students to give up science after fourteen makes sense. However, I donʼt think that the school authorities will agree with me! 6 Studentsʼ own answers.

Model answer Today we hear more and more about how important it is to learn to be competitive, because after we leave school, there will be competition in nearly all aspects of our working lives. We shall need to compete to get a job, to get promotion and if we work in business, then weʼll have to compete for customers. Many people are in favour of introducing children to competition at an early age through sports. But is this really a good thing to do? It is quite clear that doing sport is good for childrenʼs health and it should be encouraged, but it does not have to be competitive. They can get health benefits from regular gym or sports lessons. If we make children enter sports competitions, it can be fun for the ones that are good at running and swimming. However, for children who arenʼt good at sports, it can just make them feel humiliated and ashamed. What we have to remember is that we all have to deal with competition later in life, so why not enjoy the periods when we donʼt have to, like childhood? 4 1 whatʼs the word 2 are you saying that 3 youʼve lost me 4 I see what you mean, to put it another way 5 How do you mean?, OK, I get you 5 Studentsʼ own answers. 6 Studentsʼ own answers. 7 Studentsʼ own answers.
