dangerous!
Alicia: Oh, dont worry! First I did a jump with my
instructor. I put on a protective suit, a helmet for
my head and goggles for my eyes. Then my
instructor tied me to his parachute. We jumped out
of the plane together and screamed. That helped us
to keep breathing normally. Later I did jumps by
myself.
Tim: Well, I think its wrong to do those dangerous
sports.
Alicia: Come on! Were not kids, are we? And its
such a great feeling.
Tim: Werent you scared?
Alicia: Of course I was! But I did it, thats the great
thing. Youre in the open door of the plane, really,
really scared And the next minute youre out in
the air, flying at 200 kilometres per hour. What
an adrenalin rush! And afterwards you say, YES, I
did it!

with ordinary sports, like soccer?

around on a field in the rain.

Tim: No way! Give me our soccer team any day. Its
safe, its good exercise; Im with my friends.

sports, too. In fact, most accidents happen in

Unit 2 Carnival atmosphere
CD 1, Track 2 (London English)
Reporter: Hello. Im Corinna Jones and Im
reporting from this years Notting Hill Carnival in
London. As usual the news is full of problems at the
Carnival. So, what do people in the crowd think?
Excuse me, Madam, what do you think of the
Carnival?
Woman: Well, the young people dancing, the food,
the floats and the costumes are wonderful but
well, Carnival is really too big now. There are too
many tourists; it isnt OUR Carnival any more. And
it isnt safe. Some people here have got knives and
when theyre drunk, there can be violence. Theres
too much alcohol. And everyone knows you can get
drugs at the Carnival.
Reporter: But there are thousands of police officers
here.
Woman: Huh. The police are just here to dance.
The organizers dont want to spoil the image of the
Carnival as a nice multicultural festival. The
Carnival makes a lot of money from sponsors, you
know.
Reporter: OK, thanks. Lets get another opinion.
Excuse me.
Man: Yeah?
Reporter: What do you think of the music? There
seem to be even louder sound systems, more DJs
and more hip-hop music here today than in the
past.
Man: Yeah, well, the Carnivals over 40 years old
now and the music needs to change with the times.
The traditional Caribbean carnival had steel bands
and calypso music. There are still a few steel bands,
but I guess its the London Carnival now. Its for
everyone and that means different types of music
hip hop, soul, jazz, reggae, everything.
Reporter: Do you think the Carnivals too
commercial?
Man: Yes, it is but everythings commercial
nowadays. Festivals like this cant survive without
sponsorship. But just look around you its still a
great Carnival where you can dance and have a
good time and thats the most important thing.
Sometimes people do drink too much, but its
actually quite safe.

Speaker 1: I love all the reality shows. Im going to
watch Beautiful People tonight that program
where they take an unattractive woman and give
her plastic surgery so she looks like a beauty
queen. I think its amazing. Theyre, like, just
normal women like me and then afterwards
theyre so beautiful. The women are so brave, too.
I mean the operations are painful and they cant
look in a mirror for, like, four months. Id love to
be on a show like that and be famous, but my
boyfriend says, no way.
Speaker 2: Tonight Im going to watch Your Date.
A girl goes on eight blind dates you know, she
doesnt know the men at all. Then each week she
says goodbye to one, and in the last show she
chooses which man she wants to marry. Its great!
I like reality shows. Some are really dumb, though.
I watched this girl on a show last night and she
cried because she had to eat worms. But I mean,
she wanted to go on that program. These people go
on game shows for the money and the fame; its
their own fault if they cant cope with the
problems.
Speaker 3: Im not going to watch TV tonight. I
dont watch TV much, especially all those reality
shows. Man, those programs suck! Those stupid
women in the makeover shows think they can
change their appearance and everyone will love
them. These shows just exploit and humiliate
people like that I Wanna Be a Star program
where people want to be pop stars. Most of them
cant sing at all and they cry when the judges tell
them how bad they are. Its awful. The producers
plan a lot of what happens on these reality shows,
you know. Its not as real as you think!

Debbie: Really? Im sorry about that. But I can
really recommend Coldplay theyre brilliant!
Lucy: Yes, but I also ordered a black backpack,

Debbie: Oh Well, pink is THE colour right now,

Lucy: Yes, but its my brothers birthday present. I
dont think my brother wants a pink handbag for
his birthday! Listen, the order is wrong! Some

Ellen: Erm, well, actually, I dont eat burgers any

Dan: What??
Ellen: I decided to become a vegetarian last
weekend. Its healthier.
Dan: Oh, Ellen, thats crazy! Vegetarians are
always thin and unhealthy. You dont get enough
iron and vitamins without meat.
Ellen: You can get iron and vitamins from other
foods.
Dan: But vegetarian food is so bland and boring.
People need meat!
Ellen: Thats not true. And what about the poor
animals?
Dan: Well, theyre only animals arent they?
Humans are more important than animals.
Ellen: No! Animals
Dan: What about the vegetables? Its cruel to kill
plants, too! And look at all the GM crops now.
Tomatoes with fish genes and potatoes with chicken
genes, for example. Thats not healthy, is it?
Ellen: No, but but people in lots of countries are
hungry and producing meat takes away the land
they need to grow their food.
Dan: Well, I dont care about people in other
countries. Farmers in this country need jobs!
Besides, Im hungry now and I need meat. It tastes
better than other things and I dont care where it
comes from! Its about freedom of choice, isnt it?
Ellen: Yes, it is and I choose not to eat meat.
Dan: Ellen Lets order. Do you want a boring
vegetarian salad?
Ellen: No, thanks. Im not hungry now.
Dan: OK. A half pound triple cheeseburger and
fries, please.
Assistant: Sure. What would you like to drink?
Dan: Nothing, thanks.
Assistant: Thats ten dollars ninety-five, please.

Lizzie: I cant believe youve done that! Youve
posted stuff about me on your website! What
did you do that for?
Josh: Why not? I love you, Lizzie, and I want
to tell people how I feel! Its not a secret, is it?
Lizzie: Its just self-exposure, thats what it is.
I want our lives to be private, thank you very
much. I dont want you writing stuff about me
on the web, so everybody in the whole wide
world can read it.
Josh: Well, Ive never written anything bad.
In fact, Ive only said how smart, how GREAT
you are. Youre the best thing thats ever
happened to me. Why cant I tell other people
that?
Lizzie: Typical! You men are so self-centred.
You dont think about other peoples feelings.
Josh: Oh, come on, thats not fair, Lizzie. You
know its not just men who write blogs. There
are lots of web diaries by women. And some of
them write about everything in their lives.
And I mean everything! But then thats the
great thing about blogs you can write about
anything. Theres no control.
Lizzie: Well, you've got no self-control. Most
blogs are just boring stuff anyway. There are
no editors to check that people write about
something interesting or that they write
properly. Have you noticed how many people
cant even spell?
Josh: Yeah, OK but if you dont want to read
blogs, just dont read them. I think theyre a good
way to find out about other peoples experiences
and, you know, meet new people.
Lizzie: Meet new people? How can you do
that on a computer? Thats not real
communication. You know, I think we all just
spend too much time on the internet and too
little time talking to our friends and family.
Josh: Give me a break! The internet is a great
way to communicate, cant you see that?

Man: Hello. Im from your mobile phone company.
Were doing a survey, asking people how they use
their mobile phones.
Martin: Oh, hello. right. Well, I use mine for calls
sometimes, but thats too expensive. I prefer sending
text messages. My girlfriend and I text all the time.
I also use it for playing games, mostly when Im on
the bus, or in the breaks at college.
Lindy: Ive got two mobiles. I use them to chat with
friends. We dont really talk about anything
important you know, just whats happening, and
whos seeing who.
Excuse me
Oh Hi Em, where are you?
Listen, Im on the other line. Can you call me back
in a minute? Bye.
Yeah, as I was saying ..
Erica: For me, its really important how my mobile
looks. Its really small and very stylish. I have three
different covers for it, so it always matches my look.
Thomas: Ive just got a job with a sales company
and they gave me a mobile. Im out in the car a lot,
but Im careful not to use it while driving. I use it to
check my email and call customers.

Roz: I love my mobile! My boyfriend works away
from home a lot, so we send video messages to each
other. I dont miss him as much when I can see
where he is and what hes doing. Sometimes I
download music and listen to it on my phone. But I
dont think the qualitys very good. Ive got a really
good MP3 player, so I prefer using that.

Unit 9 Rule of law
CD 1, Track 13 (British)
Jim: Welcome to the programme. Today Jeremy
Parsons, the author of a new book called Banned
by Law, is here to tell us about some new rules
and laws.
Jeremy: Hi, Jim. Thanks for allowing me to be
here!
Jim: So far, theres no law against it, Jeremy! Lets
start with New York. The mayor has tried to clean
up the city, hasnt he?
Jeremy: Thats right. Its now illegal to drink
alcohol in public places, or smoke in restaurants.
And its illegal to feed the pigeons!
Jim: Presumably a lot of people are angry about
the bans.
Jeremy: Well, New York is now a nicer place to
live. But people want to make their own decisions;
they dont want to follow so many rules.
Jim: Yes, its all about individual freedom, or
government control, isnt it? What about the rest of
the world?
Jeremy: Well, In Tokyo you mustnt use your
mobile phone on the train.
Jim: Thats seems fair enough.
Jeremy: Well, yes, but heres a strange one from
Halifax, Canada. People there arent allowed to
wear perfume, or other products that have a strong
smell.
Jim: What?
Jeremy: Yes, apparently some people become ill
when they smell perfume. Police arrested a 17-
year-old boy because he wore hair gel at college!
Jim: Well, thats going a bit far Youve also got
an example of a ban on English words. Whats that
about?
Jeremy: Well, the French government thinks that
people use too many English words. They tried to ban
the word email, for example people have to use the
French expression courier electronique instead.
Jim: Thats really convenient! Does it work?
Jeremy: Not really.
Jim: Mmm, right. Lets move on to some of the
silliest laws.
Jeremy: Well, there are lots of silly laws. The one
I like is the ban on gold teeth by the president of
Turkmenistan.
Jim: Gold teeth?
Jeremy: Yes, the president thinks white teeth look
much better!
Jim: Well, thats a good reason for a law!

manual.
Hmm, plug the printer cable into the USB port.
Dad: Ive done that!
Leo: Plug this monitor cable into this socket.
Dad: Ive done that, too! I hate all this technology.
Life was much simpler before we had computers and
dishwashers and videos. Everything is always going
wrong. Im always reading instruction books and
finding people to fix things. All these machines dont

save time; they just cause problems. And things will
get worse in the future!
Leo: Dont be stupid, Dad. You cant put the clock
back or stop progress. You love your flat screen TV
and your new car. Besides, things will be even
better in the future. We wont have computers like
this with cables everywhere. Everything will be
wireless very soon in fact, it is already. And soon
we wont have computers on a desk at all. Youll use
the computer in your watch, or even in your clothes
and we'll read books on cell phones.
Dad: Yeah, yeah, I know. Youre right, we cant stop
progress. But technology isnt always a good thing. I
mean, you teenagers dont do so many of the simple
things in life going for walks, reading books and
newspapers, talking to friends Why, when I was
a boy
Leo: Oh, Dad, dont start again. Technology gives
us lots of new possibilities. I love reading books
and newspapers I just read them online,
instead. And I talk to my friends; its just easier to
phone or text them sometimes.
Dad: Easier? Our house is a technological
disaster!
Leo: Er, Dad, this problem has nothing to do with
technology. Its a human mistake. You forgot to
plug the computer into the power socket and
switch it on!
Unit 11 Travel costs
CD 1, Track 16 (English, Scottish)
Nick: Angus, Hi! Ive just booked a weekend trip
to London. It only cost 32, including airport tax!
Much cheaper than the train! Whats the
matter?
Angus: Well, thats great but its scary how much
pollution planes produce.
Nick: Oh no, dont start about the environment
again, Angus. Cheap air travel means people can
see new places. Travel broadens the mind and all
that And London, Angus! Ive wanted to go
there for ages! Think of the clubs!
Angus: Yes, I havent been there for years since
I was very young. Its a fantastic city.
Listen, Nick, I wanted to tell you about some
special tree-planting programmes.
Nick: Tree planting? What does that have to do
with my trip to London?
Angus: Well, you know trees take in carbon
dioxide, dont you?
Nick: Do they? Er, I mean, er of course I know
that! We did that at school.
Angus: People have planted millions of trees
since they started to worry about global warming.
Nick: Er great, but so what?
Angus: Well, lots of new trees mean less carbon
dioxide in the air. And everyone can help! Using a
website, you can calculate how much carbon
dioxide your flights produce. Then you can find
out how many trees you must plant.
Nick: Im not sure Im with you.
Angus: Well, for example, er let me look on the
internet. Your flight from Edinburgh to London
will produce 0.12 tonnes of carbon dioxide thats
for each person, of course. So you need to plant
one tree.
Nick: Mmm. So, OK, Im causing pollution. But
is planting trees the best way to help? And
anyway, its the governments job to plant trees,
isnt it? They get taxes for things like that.
Angus: Yes, but the government is too slow. Weve
waited for years for the government to do
something. And these programmes are really
popular. Lots of celebrities people like Kylie
Minogue, Leonardo Di Caprio and Dido have
planted trees.
Nick: Well, they can afford it! Im a student, and I
cant!

quiz about honesty this week.
Leanne: Great, I love quizzes. Lets do it now.
You can read the questions to me while Im

keep it.
Leanne: Well, er, its only thirty pounds and
nobody will know. Keep it.
Kirsty: Really? OK, b).
Right, number 2. You have a part-time job in
an office. Most other people there take paper
and pens home. Do you a) not do it, because its
dishonest, or b) do it, too: the company wont
miss a few things.
Leanne: Mmm. I dont know. I might But er
no, it is dishonest. And they might catch me.
Kirsty: No? So a), then. Number 3. You get too
much change in your local shop. Do you a)
correct the mistake and give back the extra
money, or b) dont say anything and keep the
money.
Leanne: Well, they work really hard in our
local shop. Definitely a).
Kirsty: 3 a). OK, number 4. The check-out
assistant in a big supermarket gives you a 20
note instead of 10. Do you a) give back the
extra money, or b) dont say anything and keep
the money.
Leanne: Hmm, those supermarkets make
millions, dont they? Keep the money, I think.
Kirsty: OK, 4 b). Last question, number 5.
The bank has made a mistake. You have 1,000
too much in your account. Do you a) tell the
bank immediately, or b) wait and see what
happens.
Leanne: Oh, Im not sure. The bank might
not notice the mistake. But they always
notice those mistakes sooner or later, dont
they? So, I think a), tell them.
Kirsty: 5 a). OK, let me see. thats three a)s
and two b)s. Mmm, the magazine says: Youre
quite honest but only in some situations.
Remember: taking something that isnt yours is
always stealing.
Unit 13 Destination disaster
CD 1, Track 19 (British)
Presenter: Hello and welcome to Discussion
Time. Today our topic is: Cars do we really need
them?
Here with me is Graham Long from the anti-car
group Streets 4 Us.
Graham: Hello.
Presenter: Helen Vale from Pro Car, the car
drivers organisation.
Helen: Hello.
Presenter: Deborah Allen, a mother of four
children.
Deborah: Hello.
Presenter: And Alex Reed, a new driver.
Alex: Hi.
Presenter: Lets start with you, Alex. Youve just
passed your driving test. Do you enjoy driving?
Alex: Yeah, I love the freedom. I can go anywhere
I want. I often just drive around really fast with
loud music on. And a car is a great way to get a
girlfriend! Girls think cars are cool.
Presenter: What do you say to that, Deborah?
Deborah: Well, I suppose a lot of teenage drivers
think like that. But when youre younger, you
dont really need a car. You can use a bike to get
around its much healthier. But Ive got four
children. I have to take them to school, to the
doctor, to football matches, or to town to see my
mum. I spend half my day in the car and I hate it
traffic jams everywhere, aggressive male
drivers. But I need my car to transport the
children.
Presenter: Graham, Streets 4 Us wants to get
cars off the streets. How exactly do you intend to
do that? And what about people like Deborah?
Graham: It wont be easy, but we do need to take
action. Think how much space cars use in our
towns. Cars need roads, petrol stations, garages,
car parks someone calculated that these things
take up 23% of the total space in London, 29% in
Tokyo and 44% in Los Angeles! What about space
for parks and places for children to play?
Presenter: Helen, I can see you want to say
something!
Helen: I just want to say rubbish! How does
Graham Long think we can live in todays world
without cars? His organisation is just one of those
silly groups that are making life harder for
drivers. Thats why weve got such high taxes on
everything to do with cars and no parking
anywhere it makes me so angry

Vanessa: Yeah, right. If you just sit around and feel
sorry for yourself, youll never get better. What
about going for a walk? If you get some exercise and
fresh air, youll feel fine.
Jake: Oh no, Im too sick. I think I need some
antibiotics.
Vanessa: The fact is, Jake, youre just a
hypochondriac. Think of all the people who really
are sick! People with AIDS or cancer. A lot of them
are going to die and they cant do anything about it.
Jake: Yeah, I know, I know. And I think its just
awful. But what if Ive got this bird flu thats always
in the news? Everybodys saying theres going to be
an epidemic soon. Remember that terrible SARS
epidemic? You know if you wear a mask, it protects
you against infection. I might buy one.
Vanessa: Youre not serious! Oh, you are. Sorry,
but I dont think protection is really necessary. The
flu epidemic might never happen. Why should we
worry about things if they arent certain? I read that
the government has bought lots of expensive drugs,
so if we have a flu epidemic, well be OK. Thats
ridiculous! There are lots of people in the world who
need drugs for ordinary diseases right now.
Jake: Yes, like me! Vanessa, could you make me
some tea with honey and lemon? I think if I have a
hot drink, Ill feel a little better.
Vanessa: Sorry, Jake, I have to go.
Jake: Where are you going?
Vanessa: To my yoga class. You should come and
try it.
Jake: Yoga? I dont think thats my thing. Just
thinking about it gives me a backache!

Teacher: Of course, Julia. How can I help you?
Julia: Well, I want to improve my English and Im
not sure what to do. Whats the best way to learn
English properly?
Teacher: Well, Im afraid theres no one way to
learn a language. All learners are different and
learn in different ways. What do you like doing? Do
you like writing?
Julia: Yes, I do. I think its easier to learn things if I
write them down.
Teacher: Hmm. Well, for example, you can try and
write sentences with words you have learned in
class. You can also send emails and messages in
English to your friends. But you need to practise
speaking a bit more, too. Youre very quiet in class.
Julia: Yes, because Im worried about grammar
mistakes.
Teacher: Grammar mistakes dont matter if people
understand you. Its better to speak more and
practise pronouncing the words. You dont have to
have a perfect English accent.
Julia: My parents would like me to do an English
course in the summer. Is that a good idea?
Teacher: Yes, its a very good idea. There are lots of
good schools in the UK but you can also learn
English in other English-speaking countries like
America, Australia, or even Malta, where there are
lots of language schools.
Julia: Yes, Ive looked on the internet, but there are
thousands of courses. How can I find a good one?
Teacher: Well, why dont you come and see me
later in the week? Make a list of what exactly you
want to do, and I can help you find a course.
