And the website Change. The house had been well maintained and was in a good state, but unfortunately, the owner had not been able to pay the mortgage. Our research trips also taught us that no two schools or classes are identical. He never gets up early, does he? Student What do you mean by B and Bs? Ella I suppose so. Now, my parents love looking at paintings. Solutions turns all students into active learners, by offering a rich variety of learning opportunities for a whole range of abilities through extension and revision activities in all components - giving everyone a sense of achievement whatever their level. Ella I think we should join the rally in the park. Why do you think so?
MumYou were very rude to him. GeorgeNo, I refuse to apologise. Can I have one of your chocolates? EllaCan I have just one, please? Then Jenny and I are getting together to look at some past exam papers on Saturday. HarryAn old jacket from the 1980s. He got it in a charity shop. HarryNothing at all, but who wears jackets like that nowadays? Unusual, maybe, but cool. LukeWell, the film starts in ten minutes. I think we should go in. ImogenYou go in, then, and get the tickets. Are you going to get a job? CerysNo, I want to study medicine. CerysI want to study at Oxford because it has one of the best medical schools in the country, and I want to get a really good job once I graduate. SimonDifficult to get into, then, I guess. He must be freezing. She had just been thinking … she had bought there the day before. Mick should have two more years …. They were all talking about her — and in a kindly way. She was ashamed for the first scared feeling that had come to her. Of a sudden she loved all of the family and a tightness came in her throat. Mick rubbed the top of her head with her fist. She moved it around in her mouth to gather up spit enough to talk. Or five pairs of shoes or five dresses. Or installments on a radio. I can hold it down. I know I can. Their Dad picked his teeth with a matchstick and took his feet down from the banisters. I rather Mick take her time and think this out. We can get along somehow without her working. I just want to work during vacation and then go back to school. In the dark they began to laugh and talk. Their Dad did a little trick for George with a matchstick and a handkerchief. Then he gave the kid fifty cents to go down to the corner store for Coca-Colasto be drunk after supper. The uniform is black trousers, black shoes, white shirt and red and green striped tie. Both boys have got short dark hair. They are obviously friends as they are chatting together, they look relaxed and they are smiling. Why do you think so? They are dressed quite smartly and, as I said, they look relaxed. Examiner Do you think school uniform is a good idea? Why do you think so? I also believe that a uniform gives the students a sense of identity, of belonging to the school. A quick lunch in a coffee bar, maybe; a few litres of petrol for your car; or perhaps a large house in a nice suburb near Dallas, Texas, complete with garden and swimming pool. The story of Kenneth Robinson and the sixteen-dollarhouse began in 2011, when he noticed that a large house in Flower Mound, near Dallas, had become empty. The house had been well maintained and was in a good state, but unfortunately, the owner had not been able to pay the mortgage. After the mortgage company had evicted the owner, the company itself went out of business. So the house was not just empty, but it was also unclear what would happen to the property. The story was widely reported in the media both in the USA and around the world. For some people, Mr Robinson was a hero who beat the system. They even called the police to arrest him, but the police said they could do nothing as no crime had been committed. According to US property laws, if Mr Robinson stayed in the house for three years, he could claim legal ownership of the property. During that time, he would have to do all the basic maintenance — keeping the garden tidy, and so on — but he would not have to pay any mortgage or rent. However, eight months after he had moved into the house, he received a letter from a judge telling him he had to leave the property. Although he could have challenged the decision in court, Mr Robinson decided not to do that: he moved out. Looking back, Mr Robinson certainly has no regrets. He has written a book about his experiences and is often asked to give talks about them. She looks about seventeen or eighteen, I reckon. My uncle and aunt were staying with us. In those days, we used to have a Christmas tree every year. My parents used to put all our presents under the tree. I always used to feel the presents and try to guess what they were. I really wanted one because my best friend had one. So when I picked up a present from my uncle and aunt with my name on it, felt it and realised it was a lunchbox, I was so excited. Apparently, my parents had told my uncle and aunt what to buy me. But when I opened the present on Christmas Eve, I felt so disappointed. Yes, it was a lunchbox. Instead of Hello Kitty, it had a picture of a different cartoon cat on it. My parents had told my uncle and aunt the wrong thing. I smiled and said thank you — but inside, I wanted to cry. How cool is that? My parents understand and are happy to continue supporting me. The best in the school for sure. We were worried sick. And pick up those shoes. Have you tidied your bedroom yet? Exercise 3 page 22 2 Which sandwich did Ed eat? Exercise 4 page 22 3 has Pete got in his bag 4 did Marcus give you to eat 5 is missing from the cupboard 6 did Jess see in the park 7 pizza would you like 8 phoned Sally last night Challenge! In the studio to discuss this with me is Professor Teresa Jenkins from the University of Manchester. Prof Jenkins Yes, there is much to celebrate. Deaths of babies and very young children dropped dramatically from about 133 in every 1,000 births in the 1950s to 46 per 1,000 births now. It seems that this trend is set to continue in future years. Presenter So why are some people concerned about the population figures? Prof Jenkins Many people are worried about the effect that the increased population will have on global warming and climate change. We will burn more coal, oil and gas, causing more pollution. And then, of course, these natural resources will run out. Another problem is simply feeding so many people, and providing jobs and education for them all. Prof Jenkins Yes, and the figure is as high as 60 per cent in some countries. Countries like ours are facing the problem of ageing populations — where not many babies are being born — so they are looking for ways to increase their population. They have lots of young people who can work and make the countries richer. The problems that a young population bring are different. Poor countries are struggling to provide basic healthcare, education and jobs for all these young people. Families are poor, children are malnourished, few of them complete secondary education — some do not have access to any education at all. And there are few secure, well-paidjobs. Presenter And the world population is set to rise even further, so these problems may get worse. The world population is expected to rise to 9. Much of the increase is expected to come from poor countries in Africa and Asia. Presenter So how can we stabilise the population, slow it down, stop it getting out of control? Prof Jenkins Above all, reducing poverty will help to slow population growth. Presenter How will it do that? Prof Jenkins In the poorest countries, extreme poverty, high death rates among children, and high birth rates are all linked. If poverty is reduced and living conditions improve, parents can feel more confident that most of their children will survive. Many people then choose to have smaller families. The other way to slow population growth is to educate and empower women. When women have equal rights and opportunities in their societies and when girls are educated and healthy, they have fewer babies. Thank you very much for coming in today. He never gets up early, does he? He never gets up early, does he? Examiner No, not particularly. Camping is much cheaper, of course. What other accommodation is available? Examiner Well, there are youth hostels and there are B and Bs. Student What do you mean by B and Bs? Examiner Bed and breakfasts. Now, my parents love looking at paintings. Can you recommend a good art gallery? What kind of art do they like? When we come and see you, shall we meet at your house? We could get a bus maybe from the station. Here is an idea. How does that sound? The Hindus were the larger group. After university, he went to London to train as a barrister then went to work at an Indian law firm in South Africa. There, he noticed that the Indian immigrants who had come to the country to find jobs were treated very badly. He joined their campaign for civil rights while rejecting the idea of an armed struggle. In 1914, Gandhi and the Indian immigrants won a major victory when the South African government agreed to many of their demands. When Gandhi returned to India, he used many of the tactics he had learned in South Africa to protest against the British. His campaign soon attracted millions of followers. But the British were unhappy with Indian demands for independence and made it illegal for Indians to take part in demonstrations. When a big demonstration took place in Amritsar in 1919, the British army began shooting at the protestors, even though the crowds contained many women and children. About a thousand protestors were killed. News of this terrible event spread throughout India and caused widespread anger. But Gandhi still rejected the idea of using violence against the British rulers. In 1930, Gandhi started a new campaign of civil disobedience in protest against the British and their unfair taxes and laws. Again, his campaign attracted millions of followers. But in 1934, he resigned from his political party because he did not think that they truly shared his belief in non-violence. In 1947, India finally gained independence from the British. Two countries — India and Pakistan — were created to reflect the two main religions in the area: Islam and Hinduism. Pakistan was a Muslim state and India was Hindu. Gandhi — a Hindu — was opposed to partition, and was shocked by the violence that continued between the Muslims and Hindus for months after Independence. He started one final campaign: to bring an end to the violence in both countries. But on 30 January 1948, he was assassinated by a Hindu fanatic. Mike I think we should, yes. But what shall we do? Ella I think we should join the rally in the park. Ella Because some of my friends from school are going to be there. Ella So what do you suggest? We can make placards and take them along too. Ella A march sounds a bit tiring. Ella I suppose so. What time shall we meet? Ella Well, basketball practice finishes at midday, so … 1 She suggests joining the rally in the park. We welcome Tanya Grey, a student in journalism and an occasional writer for the online activist magazine Urban Times. Good afternoon, Tanya, and welcome to the studio. Can you talk us through some of the findings? It seems that in America more young adults than ever before are actively supporting the causes that they care about — seven out of ten adults between the ages of 20 and 28 are taking real action in ways that make a difference, such as fundraising, joining or organising group events, and taking part in boycotting companies or rallies. This is up dramatically from last year — almost double, at 73 per cent, up from 38 per cent. Why do you think that this has come about? Tanya Well, I think that awareness of big issues has increased considerably due to the World Wide Web. We can all find out things in a second by going online. And people can rally support for causes through media like Google, Facebook and Twitter. Twitter, for example, is used a lot to get like-mindedpeople together and organise protests. And the website Change. Interviewer Can you explain a bit more about Change. Anyone can start or join a campaign online. Great success was had by a young online activist called Molly Katchpole with a Change. Interviewer What happened there? At the time, Molly Katchpole was a 22-year-oldstudent with the usual money worries, and she was outraged. She did three things: she moved her account to a smaller bank; she started a petition protesting against the unfair bank charge on the Change. Tanya Yes, it shows that the support is out there if you can get the information to enough people. It also shows that ordinary people have the power to change policy if they join together to make their voices heard. Young people today realise this better than anybody, and they also have the desire and the information to change things. Interviewer I can see that. Thank you, Tanya, for coming in to speak to us today.
