Scotland has beautiful mountains and lakes (called ‘lochs’).
There are also nearly eight hundred islands, and seals are
very common. As in most of Europe, animals like brown
bears and wolves are now extinct, but it is the only place
in the UK where you can see a golden eagle. And if you’re
lucky, you might see the Loch Ness Monster!
Scottish people are very proud of their culture. Famous
Scots include the inventors John Logie Baird (television)
and Alexander Graham Bell (telephone), and writers
Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes) and Robert Louis
Stevenson (Treasure Island). The scientist Alexander
Fleming (discoverer of penicillin) is also from Scotland.
Every year on 25th January, Scots celebrate the birthday of
their national poet, Robbie Burns.
Scotland is part of the United Kingdom (which also
includes England, Wales and Northern Ireland), but it has
its own parliament, football and rugby teams, and there are
even Scottish banknotes. It has a population of five million
people. In the capital, Edinburgh, there are excellent shops
and the nightlife is great. The old town has lovely streets
and there is a historic castle.

Virtual Neighbours
* What's happening in my neighbourhood today?
 The Jacksons are having lunch. Mina, their
I neighbour, is working at the local cafe. Sam,
Mina's husband, is having a shower. This sounds
I normal but I'm talking about The Sims 3. It's a
virtual world so the people aren't real.
In The Sims 3, you create imaginary people. You
choose what they look like, give them names and
personalities. You also give them jobs and build
their homes.
The Sims 3 is fun because it is realistic: old food in
the fridge goes bad and children get dirty. When
characters have a game of chess, you can see what
they are thinking!
Your characters can do most normal things. They
travel to work and have a rest when they get home.
At the weekends, they have fun with their friends.
On birthdays and holidays, they have parties. Babies
grow up and children become teenagers. Sims can
die from old age or they can have an accident and
die young. You control their lives but this can be
difficult because your characters become unhappy
Warm-up

the people doing?

Hi from London!
Hi!
3 ) We're in the competition and we are planning your days in London. There are four of us in the
group. We're typical Londoners: Ethan's grandparents are from the Caribbean, Lydia's mum is
Polish so she can speak Polish and Grace is bilingual too. She speaks Turkish at home because
her dad is from Turkey. My mum and dad are Scottish but we don't speak Gaelic!
London is a great place because there is lots to see. You can see some of the best places in the
attached map. We've got lots of ideas for the two days: Lydia wants to visit the Tate Modern
Gallery because she loves art (she made the map). Grace's into sport so she wants to take you
to the Wembley Stadium in north London. Ethan and I love music and we write songs together;
he writes the lyrics and I do the music. When you're in London, we want to take you to Covent
Garden - you can hear some cool street musicians there. We know a great cafe in central London
for lunch. The food is good and it isn't expensive.
<7 We live in east London and our school is in an interesting neighbourhood. There are cafes from lots
Ц of different countries so we can take you for a snack from Bangladesh, Thailand, Turkey, or Poland!
Win or lose, we're looking forward to meeting you!
Best wishes,
Rory

Reading
Benjamin Button was born in the United
States in 1918. His mother died when he was
born. When his father saw his new son, he was
shocked. Benjamin was the size of a baby but he
was a seventy-year-old man! Mr Button didn’t
want this strange son so he left him at an old
people’s home.
A nurse looked after Benjamin but he wasn't a
normal baby. She tried to give him milk but he
didn't like baby food - he wanted real meals.
He wore children’s clothes but he didn't like
them. But Benjamin wanted to play with other
children and to make friends. He had a friend
called Daisy. They played and read books
together.
As time moved forward, Benjamin didn't get
older, he got younger. When he was about
twenty, he went to Europe. He often wrote
letters to Daisy. When he got back to the United
States, he visited her. Now, Daisy was older and
he was younger so they were the same age. They
got married and had a baby daughter. They were
happy but Benjamin started to worry about the
future, ‘I can’t be a father and a husband! I’m
getting younger!' He decided to leave his wife
and daughter and travel round the world.
Many years later, Benjamin returned to the old
people’s home. It was the end of his life and he
was a baby. Daisy was an old woman now and
she looked after him until he died.

married. But they were both the king’s
cousins and they didn’t have his permission.
The king arrested the couple when he heard
about their wedding. Then he put William in

escape and meet in France. William got to
France but Arabella didn’t escape and they
put her in the Tower.

We were looking at the main bedroom when,

a small room next to the bedroom. We were scared
but we decided to go in. We saw a horrible figure!
It was a woman. She was wearing a red dress and
carrying her head in her hands! Her hair was red,
her eyes were angry and she was looking at us!
Suddenly, there was a second scream and the
ghost disappeared. We ran out of the castle and
down to the town. We met our parents outside a
shop. When we told them the story, they didn’t
believe us. Then, after dinner, we talked to the old
receptionist at the hotel. She smiled and said, Ah!

Understanding Grammar:
Read about the mystery of the Mary Celeste. What do you think happened?
On 4th December, 1872, the Dei Gratia ship was sailing across the Atlantic
when its sailors saw another ship, the Mary Celeste. They noticed a strange
thing - there were no sailors on it. They decided to go on the Mary Celeste.
In the captain’s cabin, the clock didn’t work and the compass was broken;
there weren’t any instruments for navigation; and there weren’t any
documents except the captain’s logbook. The last entry in the logbook was
eleven days earlier. Later reports that there was some warm food in the
captain’s cabin are not true.
The Mary Celeste was carrying a lot of barrels of alcohol to Italy but some
barrels were empty. The ship was tidy, so there was no violence or panic.
There was a lot of fresh water and food for six months. And all the sailors’
possessions were there. There were no reports of storms, there wasn’t any
damage, but the lifeboat was missing.
Were there any pirates in the area? Did the ship experience any bad
weather? The case of the Mary Celeste is an unexplained mystery.

Child actors have to sign contracts like
adult actors, but they can't work long
hours and they can’t do dangerous
activities. And just like you, they have to
study. But they don't have to go to school -
they can have a private teacher instead.
a
Shirley Temple was a famous child star.
She won an Oscar in 1935 when she was
five years old, but she wasn t successful
when she got older. There are many
stories like this. Not all child stars are
successful adult actors.
Successful child actors earn a lot of
money. In the early days of Hollywood, a
boy called Jackie Cougan starred in many
silent films. He earned millions of dollars,
but his parents spent all his money! Now
there is a law: their money has to go into
a special bank account until they are
eighteen.

4	Q It is exciting and funny.

Circus Ozstarted in Australia in 1978. A group of performers
got together and went on tour.They performed in a Palestinian
refugee camp, in the Australian desert, and also in the Brazilian
rainforest!They are a big success and they tour across Australia
and the world every year.
Their shows are very exciting.There are trapeze artists, jugglers, acrobats and a
strong woman.They play their own music too. Before each show they all get into
their costumes.
There isn’t a ‘star of the show’, just an amazing group of characters. Mason is an
acrobat who can climb a vertical pole and stand on lots of rolling drums. Rowan can
swing from a trapeze and she is very strong. Hazel can juggle a table with her feet!
In Circus Oz the performers do funny things all the time.Tlm is a clown. He’s very
unusual. At first you think: ‘Why are people looking up?’And then you see -Tim is
on the ceiling! He talks to the audience below and doesn’t get down during the
whole show.
At the end of the show nine of the performers get on the same bike at the same time!
Circus Oz has excitement, danger and humour. I took my kids, Oliver (15) and Josh
. (13), and we really enjoyed it. So what are you waiting for? Buy a ticket for the show!

Reading
1^ 2 Read and check your ideas from Exercise 1.
Does the news sometimes make you unhappy?
Do you want to help people in other countries
but never know what you can do?
In 1985 a musician, Bob Geldof, watched the news about a famine in Africa and
decided to do something: he organised the biggest rock concert in the world.
Live Aid. and it made £30,000,000.
Now, there are often fund-raising concerts when there is a disaster. These charity concerts are not a new idea. In
1791. musicians in Prague performed in a concert to help Mozart's family! Nowadays, the concerts are huge and
sometimes in more than one country. For example, Hope for Haitiin 2010 was in the United States, the UK and Haiti.
The stars included Madonna and Jay-Z. People all over the world watched the concert on TV and the Internet. The
concert made millions of dollars to help the victims of the earthquake.
How do the concerts make money? Well, the singers and musicians perform for nothing, and the ticket money goes
to the charity. You don't have to go to the concert to give money. Some people invite their friends to get together to
watch the concert on TV and everyone gives some money. You can phone up and donate money.
Who wants to perform free at these concerts? Everyone! All the big names want to get up on the stage. They help the
charity and it helps their career.
What happens to the money? Charities use it to buy food, water and medicine. They also help people to build homes,
hospitals and schools.

We're in Manchester to
find out about different
groups of young people.

Skaters love skateboarding. They wear baggy jeans,
T-shirts and trainers - but they don't do up their
shoelaces. They sometimes wear a woollen hat
or a baseball cap back to front. Max says, ‘All my
friends are Skaters. We listen to music when we do
skateboard tricks.’
Townies like clothes by Nike and Burberry. They
wear tracksuits, hoodies and gold jewellery. The
boys often wear baseball caps. They listen to
rap and R&B. Tracy says, ‘My boyfriend gave the
jewellery to me. I love it.’
Goths wear black clothes and put on lots of black
eye make-up. Both boys and girts have long, black
hair and they usually have pale skin. Some Goths
have face piercings. They listen to bands like Marilyn
Manson and Sisters of Mercy. Jake says, 'I wear black

Yes. It’s Artificial Intelligence.
Like robots?
Yes, machines with brains. I believe
robots will be cleverer than us in the
future.
Really?
Yes, soon robots will learn, think, make
decisions and do things independently.
So they’ll be better than us because
they’ll always be logical. They won’t
make emotional decisions.
I disagree! I think that very soon,
robots will have emotions.
Will they be like people?
Yes, they will. Like us, they’ll feel
unhappy sometimes. But they’ll be very
clever and they won’t get tired. And
they’ll work anywhere because they
won’t get hot or cold.
So, they’ll never be uncomfortable!
Amazing! When will this happen?
The exact date is unknown but I think
it’ll be very soon.

Warm-up
1	Work in pairs. What technology do you use
every day? Write a list.
computer
smart card
Reading
2	Look at the pictures and the title. What do you
think the text is about?
3	Read and check your ideas from Exercise 2.
From ancient to modern
Before phones, calculators, cameras and watches, how did people
communicate, count, take pictures and tell the time?
Communication
Can you imagine life before telephones? In
ancient Greece, soldiers used the sun and their
metal shields to send messages. Today, soldiers
don’t have shields but they have a mirror for
emergencies. They don’t need a signal to send a
message - just some sun. And what did we do
before texting and emails? People wrote lots of
letters. In nineteenth-century London, postmen
delivered letters to people’s homes more than six
times a day.
Counting
The earliest way to count was on our ten fingers
and toes. Then, about 5,000 years ago, the
Chinese invented the abacus. This is a wooden
frame with beads on wire. You move the beads
to count. People in Asia still use abacuses
today because they are sometimes faster than
calculators. And they don’t need batteries or
solar power to work!
Pictures
We all like looking at photos
of happy occasions but
when did they invent the
camera? The ancient
Chinese and Greeks
knew about pinhole
cameras. These put a
picture upside down in a
box - but they couldn’t
save it. In the nineteenth
century photographers
experimented and made a
camera that saved pictures.
The cameras were very
slow so people had to
sit still for a long time. Now, digital cameras
in our phones let us quickly photograph
anything, anywhere.
Clocks and watches
In the past, people used nature, for example, the
sun, to tell the time. The ancient Egyptians had
sun clocks 3,500 years ago. They built a tower
and watched its shadow on the ground. About
3,000 years later, in 1505, a German man made
the first small clock or pocket watch. Then, at
the end of the nineteenth century, a French man
made the first wrist watch. At first, only women
wore wrist watches - until the First World War,
most men used pocket watches.

and match pictures (a-c)
with paragraphs (1 -3).
О The Minoans lived on the island of Crete. Many years ago, the King and
Queen of the Minoans had a baby, but the gods played a trick on them.
The baby wasn't human - it was a terrible monster, half-man, half-bull!
They called the monster the Minotaur. When it grew up, it was very
dangerous and ate people, so they put it in a special place called a
‘labyrinth’. It was impossible to get out of the labyrinth.
Q The Minoans were very strong and attacked other Mediterranean cities.
The King of Athens was scared of the Minoans and wanted to give them
a present. He decided to send some Athenian boys and girls to Crete for
the Minotaur to eat. When it was time to send the children to Crete,
their parents were crying.
Prince Theseus, the king's son, decided to go with them. He wanted to
kill the Minotaur and save the children. His father didn't want him to go,
but Theseus got on the ship. The ship had a black sail to show how sad
the people were. Theseus promised to change the sail to white when he
came home to show he was alive and the Minotaur was dead.

Read Episode 2 of the story.
When Theseus and the children got
to Crete, Theseus met King Minos and
his daughter Princess Ariadne. She fell
in love with Theseus and she wanted
to help him.
Later that night, Ariadne gave Theseus
a sword and some string. ‘When you
go in the labyrinth, tie the string to
the door so you can find your way back.
Use the sword to kill the Minotaur.’
Theseus thanked Ariadne very much
and promised to marry her.
The next morning all the children were
scared. 'Wait here,’ said Theseus. He tied
the string to the door of the labyrinth
and went to find the Minotaur. When
he found the monster there was a big
fight. Theseus killed the Minotaur with
his sword and then he found his way
back to the door. The children were
very happy to see him!

a
I fell into the sea. Conseil jumped in and helped me but we got
lost in the dark. Then, I heard a familiar voice. It was Ned! He
was on top of the monster! It was made of metal! Ned knocked
on the metal. Suddenly, a door opened and eight men came out.
b
In 1866, a lot of ships around the world saw a strange creature
like a whale. It was very fast and it sometimes destroyed ships.
I was in America then and people asked me, Professor Aronnax,
for help. I am a scientist and know a lot about the sea. I decided
to go on an expedition to find the monster.
с
After months at sea, there was no sign of the monster. Then,
one night, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, we saw it! It had
a big, black body and was about eighty metres long. There was
a strange light around it. Our captain tried to shoot at it and then
the monster attacked us.
d
We left New York on the 'Abraham Lincoln'. I went with my servant,
Conseil. On the ship, there was a Canadian whale hunter called Ned.
He did not believe the stories about the 'whale'. 'How can a whale
destroy a metal ship?' Ned asked.
The nautilus
Read the second part of the story. Which of these things
did Jules Verne predict in the story (in 1866)?
robots  electric engines  electric light • diving suits  submarines  nuclear рошег
The men took us inside the enormous submarine. The commander was a tall,
handsome man. 'My name is Nemo, Captain Nemo. You can stay here, on the
Nautilus,' he told us.' 'But you can never leave and tell the world about it!'
The captain showed me his submarine. There was a dining room and a big
library. The engines used minerals from the sea to make electricity. Captain
Nemo told me, 'I love the sea. Here, I am free. I can escape from people.
I hate people!' Was Captain Nemo mad?
Life on the submarine was interesting and we had a lot of adventures.
We sometimes put on diving suits and walked on the sea bottom.
We saw colourful fish and beautiful coral.
One day, the Nautilus got stuck on a rock near a small island. Ned and I
visited the island in a small boat. It was great to be on land again! Ned was
happy and wanted to stay on the island. Suddenly, we saw some natives!
We were scared. We ran to the boat and quickly returned to the submarine
but the natives followed us in canoes.
When the natives were on top of the submarine, Nemo turned a switch to
electrify it. The natives screamed and jumped into the sea. That afternoon,
j the Nautilus escaped from the reef and we sailed away.

(Sri Lanka), Captain Nemo showed us an enormous oyster with a
huge pearl. From there, we went to the Red Sea and through an
underground tunnel into the Mediterranean.
Near the Spanish coast, Nemo took us to the ruins of an
underwater city: Atlantis! Then, we went a long way south and
saw icebergs. We went under the ice and came to an island in a
small sea. This was the South Pole!
From there we went up the coast of South America. One day,
a giant squid attacked the submarine. The monster picked up
Ned and another sailor but Captain Nemo killed the squid
with his axe and rescued the two men.
We went north to the USA and there was a bad storm
near New York. After months in the submarine, Ned was
desperate to leave. We asked the captain, but Nemo got
angry and said, 'NO!' Later, when we were crossing the
Atlantic, a warship started to shoot at us and the captain
sank it. Now he was completely mad!
Finally, near the coast of Norway, Ned, Conseil and I
escaped in the submarine's boat. When we were in the
boat, we heard the terrible sound of a whirlpool. Luckily,
we survived it and some fishermen picked us up. We never
saw Captain Nemo and the Nautilus again. Maybe, the
whirlpool destroyed them. Or maybe Captain Nemo is still
exploring the oceans ...
