Carrie: Brilliant! Thanks a lot. Nick: No worries. Conversation 2 Dan: Oh, Zara ... can you help us with this a minute? Zara: What’s wrong, Dan?

Anna: Oh, thanks ... Track 05 Page 15, Exercise 2 Annie: What do you think about this new e-reader, Nick? Nick: I think it’s very useful. It’s small and it isn’t heavy. You can use it to read books on the train. Annie: I agree. I think it’s very useful because you don’t need lots of heavy books. But look at this wrist camera; This page has been downloaded from www.macmillanbeyond.com © Macmillan Publishers Limited 2014.

It costs a lot of money! Annie: I don’t know. What do you think about this house robot? I don’t think it’s very interesting. It’s so ugly. Nick: Oh, I disagree. I think it’s cool. I hate housework! Annie: And look at this computer pet … now that’s really silly! Who wants that? Nick: Oh … yeah, I see what you mean … kind of stupid really. But here’s something that’s really creative. You can see people and images in 3D. It looks like they’re real! Annie: Yes, that’s really amazing.

Carl: Not really, I’m going to guitar class. Josh: Really? Do you like playing the guitar? Can you play well? I play the saxophone. Anna: He can’t play well yet, believe me! That’s why he’s taking classes. Carl: It’s true! Josh: OK, OK. Carl: What are you doing later? My class finishes at 6 o’clock. Anna: Josh and I are going ice skating in the park at 7.00.

B: Oh yeah? What kind of animals did you see? A: We saw a group of elephants – a whole herd of them! B: That’s amazing! A: They came up behind the hotel and started eating fruit from the trees in the garden. B: How many of them were there? A: Oh …. about five! It was great! I took some great photos – and I put them on my bedroom wall. B: I love elephants. They live for a long time, don’t they? A: Yes – some can live up to 60 or 70 years! Conversation 2 A: Did you take a lot of photos on your trip to Canada last summer? B: Yes, I did, but I lost my camera … A: How did you lose it? Did you drop it somewhere? B: No, a grizzly bear took it. A: Oh no! Really? What happened? A: We went camping in the mountains and stayed overnight next to a river. B: Did the bears come into your tent? A: Yes, so we ran away behind some trees. They went into our tents but they didn’t stay long. When we got back, our bags were gone – with all our food and, of course, my camera as well … I was so upset! B: I wonder – did they eat all your food? What kind of food do grizzly bears like to eat? A: They eat fruit, meat, fish – anything really…especially during the summer. Then they sleep a lot during the winter. Conversation 3 A: A scary thing happened on our holiday in Florida this winter. B: Oh yes? Really – what happened? A: We found a huge snake in our kitchen. B: Oh no! A: I guess it wanted some lunch. When I looked into the kitchen, it was just sitting there behind the fridge.

A: I was so afraid I called the police! And they called the animal rescue patrol. B: That was close – are those snakes poisonous? A: Yes! Apparently there are thousands of wild snakes in Florida. Some say there are about 150,000 snakes there. It’s because there are no animals that eat snakes, so the population is increasing all the time. Track 12 Page 39, Exercises 1 and 2 Diane: What shall we do to improve our environment at school? Let’s choose one of these ideas. Linda: OK. How about telling everyone to recycle more plastic and paper? We have lots of recycling bins in school, but no-one uses them. Ian: That’s a nice idea. We could make signs and posters. Diane: That’s not very exciting. Let’s raise money to help the local animal shelter. Ian: What could we do? What about having a disco or a fancy dress party? Linda: I like the No Plastic Bottle Day. Everyone who buys a plastic bottle has to pay a fine. Diane: I don’t know – that’s a bit serious. I like the once-a-week veggie day. That means you don’t eat any meat, and it’s healthy to eat vegetables anyway. Ian: How does that help the environment? Diane: It saves animals of course! Linda: OK. Why don’t we write a letter to the school cafeteria and get everyone to sign it? Diane: That’s a great idea!

Hang on a moment, please. Sorry, how can I help you? Maria: Yes, hello. I’d like to place a takeaway order, please. Tomas: Where are you calling from? Maria: I’m calling from Ipanema. Tomas: Sure, of course. What would you like? Maria: Well, let’s see. Have you got any salads? Tomas: Yes, of course. We’ve got the Tomato salad and our Chef’s Salad. Maria: Um, I’ll have the Chef’s Salad. Tomas: OK. Would you like some chicken on your salad? Maria: No thanks, I’m a vegetarian. Tomas: OK, so that’s one Chef’s Salad, no chicken. Maria: Exactly. Tomas: Your order includes free chips or some bread. What would you like? Maria: I’m allergic to flour so I’d rather have chips, please. Tomas: Perfect. Anything else? Maria: No, that’s it, thank you. Tomas: OK. What’s your name and address? Maria: It’s Maria. I live at 13 Copacabana Road, Ipanema. Tomas: Sorry. Can you repeat your address, please?

On today’s programme we’re talking to Martin Ramsey who, believe it or not, is building his new home out of recycled materials. We’re asking him a few questions about his project and later we will see if people think it’s a good idea. Welcome to the show, Martin! Martin: Thanks, it’s nice to be here. Interviewer: So Martin, why are you building your home out of, well, rubbish? Martin: I think recycling is so important. In the UK alone, at least 50% of our rubbish can be recycled, but a lot of people don’t take recycling seriously. Interviewer: That’s true. According to an article in the newspaper last week, 75% of people think that recycling is too complicated, and so they don’t recycle as much as they should. Martin: In my opinion, people make a lot of excuses not to recycle. It’s wrong to throw things in the rubbish when we can use them again. That’s why I’m building furniture, and other parts of my house, out of recycled bottles and cans. Interviewer: Wow! That must be a lot of work! Martin: It’s not always easy, but I think it’s fun! I love the challenge. Interviewer: Fun? Martin: Yes, friends and neighbours often come to my home with bags full of materials so I can continue building. The local school brought me 1,000 plastic bottles last month. I cut them into pieces and used them to make a strong, colourful wall in my bathroom. They’re waterproof too! Interviewer: 1,000 bottles! Martin: That’s nothing! To make the kitchen table and chairs I need over 5,000 cans! Interviewer: Incredible! Well, Martin, many thanks for joining us. Let’s see what listeners think about your original idea … Track 15 16 Page 51, Exercise 5 Sarah: Let’s stop and get something to eat while we look for Marco’s house. Nick: Good idea! Man: Hello there. Can I help you? Nick: Let me see. I’d like an egg and salad sandwich. Sarah: Can I have the same but with no lettuce, please? Man: Of course. Would you like some cold drinks? Nick: Do you have any cola? Man: No, sorry. I’ve got cartons of juice or bottles of water. Sarah: I’d rather have tea, actually. Nick: One bottle of water and one cup of tea, please. Man: OK, that’s €7.70. Sarah: Thank you. Oh, and can you tell us where Marigold Avenue is? Man: Sorry? Marigrove Avenue? Could you say that again, please? This page has been downloaded from www.macmillanbeyond.com © Macmillan Publishers Limited 2014. This sheet may be photocopied and used within the class. Sarah: Marigold Avenue – M-A-R-I-G-O-L-D. Man: Ah, yes. It’s just around the corner. Nick and Sarah: Thank you!

Shiuli: Home is where the heart is? Well, I think … um … well, it means that home is where your family lives. For example, I was born in India, but I moved to Germany when I was three and Germany is really my home now. All my brothers and sisters and my mother and father are all here, and, well, this is where my home is now – with my family. 2 Interviewer: Soraya, what do you think this proverb means? Soraya: I think it means that your home is basically, you know, the people and culture that you feel comfortable with. You know, like … now I live in London because I’m studying at university here. But I was born in Lebanon and all my friends and family still live there – and I really miss my home. So when I go back to Lebanon … Well, it just feels right – the people, the place and the culture … That’s home. 3 Interviewer: What does this proverb mean to you, Stefan? Stefan: Um … well, I’m not sure but I think that it means … er … that if you’re happy in a place, that’s your home. Home is not a place really – it’s a feeling. I’m originally from Poland, but I live in Australia now. I speak Polish and English and … well, and I really like it here, but I think that in the future I want to travel, like to Japan, for example. So as long as I feel happy, it doesn’t matter where I am! 3 A2+ WORKBOOK AUDIO SCRIPT 4 Interviewer: What does this proverb mean to you, Angie? Angie: I think this proverb means that home is when you’re with the person that you love. It doesn’t matter where you are – you can be in any … ah … in any country or any city, but as long as you are with that person, then you feel happy. Like, my family is from Switzerland, but now I live in the USA because I came here to be with my boyfriend and, uh, this is really my home now. Track 19 Page 63, Exercise 1 Conversation 1 Matt: What’s wrong? Sally: My maths homework is so difficult. I’ll never get it done! Matt: Don’t worry. I’ve got this great new book. It explains everything in really easy steps. Shall I lend it to you? Sally: That would be great! Thanks so much! Matt: No problem. Conversation 2 Katie: What’s wrong? Rob: I’ve got a music exam tomorrow and I’m so nervous! Katie: I can practise with you if you like. I’ll pretend to be the examiner. Rob: Oh, that’s a great idea. That’s really nice of you. Katie: I know! Track 20 Page 63, Exercise 2 Conversation 1 Matt: What’s wrong? Sally: My maths homework is so difficult. I’ll never get it done! Matt: Don’t worry. I’ve got this great new book. It explains everything in really easy steps. I’ll lend it to you! Sally: That would be great! Thanks a lot! Matt: No problem. Conversation 2 Katie: What’s wrong? Rob: I’ve got a music exam tomorrow and I’m so nervous! Katie: Shall I practise with you? I’ll pretend to be the examiner. Rob: Oh, that’s a great idea. That’s really kind of you. Katie: I know!

What are you doing here? I didn’t know you go to this gym! You know I work here, right? Alison: Hey Carlos! Nice to see you! Um … no, I had no idea about that. It’s my first day here! Um … I’m not really sure how to use any of this gym equipment though … Carlos: Well, you should warm up first. Start slowly and stretch before you do any exercise if you don’t want to get injuries. Alison: Sounds good! What should I do first? Carlos: First stand up straight and stretch your arms above your head. Alison: Like this? Carlos: Yes! Point to the ceiling. OK, good job. Relax! Now look up, look down. Look up, look down. Good. That’s right! Alison: This is fun! What’s next? Carlos: Next slowly turn your head from side to side. Like this – one, two, three, four. Now stretch your arms in front of you. Then stretch your fingers. Now touch your toes. Slowly, slowly! Be careful. Good, that’s right, Alison! Finally sit down on the floor and stretch your legs in front of you. That’s it! OK, ready to start now? Alison: We’re starting now? I’m tired already! Track 23 Page 72, Exercise 4 1 First stand up straight and stretch your arms above your head. 2 Point to the ceiling. 3 Look up, look down. 4 Next slowly turn your head from side to side. 5 Now touch your toes. 6 Finally sit down on the floor.

Megan:What should I do? Dad: Well, first you should take an aspirin. Megan:Then should I go back to bed maybe? Dad: No, I think you should probably get dressed, have your breakfast and get off to school. You have a geography exam today, don’t you? Track 25 Page 75, Exercise 5 1 I think you should go home and rest. 2 Should I go back to bed? 3 First you should take an aspirin. 4 I’ve got a stomach ache and a sore throat. 5 I’m afraid I feel terrible! 6 If you take some medicine, you’ll feel better. Track 26 Page 77, Exercise 1 Mark: Maria? Maria: Yeah, Mark - what is it? Mark: I know I’m sometimes a pain, but I really need my big sister’s help. Please, will you help me? Maria: Oh. Sure, Mark. What’s up? Mark: I’ve got to give this speech at the school awards ceremony and I wanted to practise it first. Can you listen and tell me what you think? It’s about Toby. Maria: Of course I will. Do you want to try it now? Don’t worry - I’m sure it’s very good. Mark: It has to be. Maria: OK, Mark. Go ahead. Mark: Em … er … OK … Em … Toby was a happy, popular student without any real worries or problems. He was top of his class in every subject and really good at sports too. And I guess we all wanted to like be him. Maria: Mark, you don’t say why you’re speaking. You need an introduction. What’s this for? Mark: The school’s giving Toby a Special Achievement award at this year’s awards ceremony. 4 A2+ WORKBOOK AUDIO SCRIPT Maria: OK. I understand. Don’t worry. I’ll help you later. Go on. Mark: Thanks, Maria. Em … where was I? But then everything changed. Toby got Leukaemia. He was really sick. He lost all his hair and was in hospital every week. Maria: Mark? Mark: Yeah? Maria: It’s just … you’re reading all the time. It sounds strange. You need to use cue cards with just a few words on them to help you. You’re speaking slowly and clearly – that’s really good. But you need to sound more natural. Mark: OK. Maria: This means a lot to you, right? Mark: Of course. Maria: OK. Well, don’t worry. Like I said, I want to help. We just need to practise more – it’s really good that you asked me. The thing is, if you just read, no one will know how important what you’re saying is. And, also, you don’t look at the audience when you read. You need to do that – look at them – so that they understand how important this is. OK? Mark: Oh! It’s useless. I can’t do it. I’m so nervous, Maria. Toby’s my best friend. Maria: Mark, little brother, I understand. Come on, now. You can do this. Let me help you. For Toby, right? Mark: Right. Track 27 Page 77, Exercise 2 Mark: Everyone knows Toby and I are the best of friends, so I am really happy to be the person who gets to present him the award for Special Achievement at this year’s Student Awards ceremony. But before I give Toby his award, I want to say a few words about him and his special achievement. A year ago, Toby was a happy, popular student without any real worries or problems. He was top of his class in every subject and really good at sports too. And I guess we all wanted to like be him – maybe some of us were even a bit jealous of him! But then everything changed. Toby got Leukaemia. He was really sick. He lost all his hair and was in hospital every week. He felt tired and weak. He was no longer good at sports. He was no longer the best student in class. But, Toby, you were so brave. You never lost your smile and you never stopped trying. You never gave up. When I visited you in hospital, I was really scared, Toby. I didn’t want anything bad to happen to my best friend. I cried, but you smiled at me and said, ‘Don’t be sad, Mark – silly! Everything will be OK. I have the best friends and family in the world. I am happy – I’m a lucky boy! Be happy with me.’ Toby, you are amazing. We miss you so much at school and we’re so happy you’re getting better. You deserve this award more than anyone, my friend. Please, everyone, stand up and clap your hands for Toby Jybaek, the winner of this year’s award for Special Achievement. Unit 7 Track 28 Page 84, Exercises 2, 3 and 4 Interviewer: Sandy, can you tell us about your new website? Sandy: Yes! I started my website about a year ago. It’s called BizzyTeens and it’s for teens who want to create their own businesses. I started my first company when I was 14, selling comics online. After that I used the money to start other online businesses. And then other teens starting asking me for help, so I started a website that gives advice to teenagers about how to start up a business. Interviewer: And is it successful? Sandy: Yes, last year we had over 5,000 visitors. It’s all free. I make videos and run online classes showing teenagers how to get started in business. And they can also post videos and comments on the website, and tell other people about their business ideas. Interviewer: So what advice do you give to teenagers starting out? Sandy: Well, you have to read a lot, work hard and do a lot of research. First, you have to find a gap in the market – something that doesn’t exist already. And you have to find out what kinds of things teenagers want to buy. But I think that teenagers are the best people to find that out. They don’t need adults telling them what they want! So my advice is: This page has been downloaded from www.macmillanbeyond.com © Macmillan Publishers Limited 2014. This sheet may be photocopied and used within the class. believe in yourself! You shouldn’t be worried about having big dreams! Interviewer: So what are your career plans now? Sandy: I want to go to university to get some qualifications. Then my goal is to travel around the world and organise meet-ups for BizzyTeens users. I want to meet all the people from my website so we can share ideas about changing the world! Track 29 Page 87, Exercise 2 Conversation A Lisa: Hi Max, what happened to you yesterday? Max: Hey Lisa! What do you mean? Lisa: You promised to meet me at the coffee shop! Max: I promised to … Oh, I’m sorry, Lisa. I completely forgot. Lisa: Oh … don’t worry about it. I met another friend and had coffee with her instead. Conversation B Tim: Hi Barbara. You know that book I borrowed from you? Barbara: Yes? Tim: I’m terribly sorry, but I’ve lost it. Barbara: You’ve lost it? Tim: Yes, I’ll buy you a new one … Barbara: That’s it! I’m never going to lend you anything ever again. Conversation C Fiona: Tony, why didn’t you phone me yesterday? Tony: Er … phone you … ? Was I … ? Fiona: Yes, you promised to phone me. Tony: Oh … er … I tried to phone but there was no answer … Fiona: Oh yes? Well, that’s not good enough! Track 30 Page 87, Exercise 4a 1 A: I’m sorry I was late for class this morning.

Emma: Yes, I have! I’ve downloaded them onto my MP3 player. Teacher: Great! And what do you listen to, Emma? Emma: I listen to a weekly podcast on news stories from around the world and I’ve also used language podcasts to improve my Spanish. Teacher: Really? What a good idea! Emma: Yeah, I think using podcasts has really helped my pronunciation. Teacher: Great! Anyone else? Yes, Hasana? Hasana: Well, even though I love basketball, I don’t often listen to podcasts about sport because you can hear sports news live on the radio, and I love to listen to the 6 o’clock report every day. I only download sports podcasts on Fridays, because basketball practice is on from 6.00 to 8.00, so I miss the sports report. Teacher: But have you listened to other podcasts? Hasana: Sure! I’ve listened to history podcasts, like documentaries about World War I – I love history! Teacher: Excellent, Hasana! I’m pleased you and Emma have both used podcasts! Anyone else? Yes, Ryan? Ryan: Uh, well, there’s a film website that I like. I download podcasts from there about science fiction and adventure films – film reviews basically. And ... uh ... there’s another site I like which has podcasts of comedy programmes with funny stories and jokes. Teacher: That sounds great, Ryan! So there are podcasts for everyone, whatever you are interested in! Personally, I download podcasts about … Track 33 Page 99, Exercise 2 Erik: Hi Amina. We’re talking about that chat show, Speak Out! Did you see it last night? Amina: Ugh, yes, I did. Erik: What did you think of it? Amina: I thought it was terrible, actually! I totally disagree with that teacher on the programme. I don’t think students today are lazy. Erik: Well, I agree with him! A lot of students in our class never do their homework … Josh: Oh, I think you’re wrong, Erik! I know what you mean – there are a few students who don’t care, but what about everyone else? Amina: Josh is right. In my opinion there are good students and bad ones, but we aren’t all bad! Josh: Exactly. He can’t say we’re all lazy. That’s not fair! Track 34 Page 99, Exercise 4 A: What did you think of that English lesson? B: It was so boring. I nearly fell asleep. A: I totally disagree. I thought it was the best English lesson we’ve had this term! B: You’re wrong. I didn’t like the book we read. It isn’t very interesting for teenagers. A: I know what you mean. Most teens don’t like stories about history, but I do! B: Yes, well … I don’t!

How do you feel about going into the final against the world number 1, Maria Sharp? Tania: Oh, I try not to feel … I’m not worried about it, you know?

It was a late match and I wasn’t playing my best. But now I feel better, not so tired. I’m fairly confident and relaxed about it, you know … Interviewer: That’s terrific. Well, we’re all very excited about seeing you play tomorrow. I’m sure it’ll be an amazing match. Good luck!

He lives on the island of Murano in Italy. Hi Sylvano, when did you start glass blowing? Sylvano: I started when I was only 10! I always watched my dad, and sometimes I helped him. He taught me everything. Interviewer: Well, you’ve made some beautiful things. Can you explain to us how it is done? Sylvano: Well the glass starts off as sand – like the sand you find on the beach. When it is heated to a really high temperature, it melts into liquid glass. The liquid glass is placed on the end of this – I think it’s called a blowpipe in English – and then we can make it into beautiful shapes. Interviewer: So, you use the blowpipe to change the shape of the glass – by blowing air into the pipe? Sylvano: Yes, that’s right. We have to keep the glass hot by putting it into the furnace. That’s the fire that we use to heat the glass. When it is hot, it is soft. Then we can create the beautiful objects. Interviewer: Yes, they’re amazing. Thank you, Sylvano. We’ll let you continue.

Thanks for coming shopping with me! Eric: No worries, Mina. What do you need to buy? Mina: Well, I need something for my clothes. I don’t know what they’re called. Eric: Do you mean a suitcase? Mina: No, no no! You use them for drying clothes, you know, after you’ve washed them. They’re small and they’re made from wood or plastic. Eric: Ah, I know! Some clothes pegs, right? Like these? Mina: Yes! Exactly! Perfect, Eric. I’ll take the plastic ones. Eric: How much are the clothes pegs, please? Shopkeeper: They’re €2.50 for a packet. Is that all you need? Mina: Yes, thank you.
