Sample answer:If you spend every penny you have

and live for the day then it could beargued that you will enjoy your life

more. You dont know what willhappen tomorrow, so its better tospend the money you have and havea happy life. Some people find outthey are ill and they wish they haddone all the things they wanted to dobefore they got ill.

However, on the other hand it issometimes better to save some moneyeach month. This way, you can copewith unexpected things which mighthappen. You might need some money

for example if something changesdramatically in our life. If youhavent saved any money at all, thenyou could be in a difficult situation.

As far as Im concerned its best tosave some money each month. But Ialso think its important to feel thatyou can spend money on enjoyingyourself and having a fulfilling life. Ifyou want to travel somewhere forexample, then why not save a littleeach month so that you can afford togo on your trip. That way, youll

really enjoy it!

Sample answer:A major turning point in my lifehappened when I was seventeen. Iwas walking with my brother andwe were talking about what I shoulddo at university. I thought Idprobably do history or geography.He however had just come backfrom China and was veryenthusiastic about his trip. He toldme that I should consider studying

Mandarin. I applied to universityand was accepted on the course.

If I hadnt decided to studyMandarin, I would have never metmy husband. I also would never havegot a job as a journalist coveringChinese politics. Its strange to thinkthat if I hadnt gone for a walk withmy brother that day, my life wouldhave turned out very differently.

So what do I wish I had donedifferently? I wish Id studiedanother language when I wasyounger, like French or German. Ialso wish that had chosen to do

Japanese alongside my Mandarindegree.

Sample answer:An advantage of a vegetarian diet isthat no animals have to be killed andthe land can be used to growvegetables and other crops. Alsosome people argue that the mass-produced meat that we get thesedays is often not very good for youand that it is full of things likeantibiotics. Advocates ofvegetarianism also argue that eatinga vegetarian diet is much healthierand you can avoid diseases like heartdisease and diabetes. However,some doctors and dieticians say that

if you dont eat meat you can getother serious diseases like anaemia.

I think that it is important to relyless on mass-produced meat.However, I think it is too radical tosay that we should give up meataltogether. Perhaps we should think

more about the way in which we

farm and the quality of meat ratherthan stopping producing it.

One ofTHE most successful people I

know is someone I went to schoolwith. He is now A professional chefand owns many restaurants. He alsohas his own programme ontelevision. THE programme is calledCook with me. So what is THEkey to his success? I would say he is

This exercise is marked out of 10.Deduct points for the following:incorrect use/formation of thenarrative (past simple, pastcontinuous, past perfect and past

perfect continuous).The story is taken from the textbook (page 109). For reference:

A student once told me this story. Hesaid he was walking along a street inMoscow thinking about nothing inparticular and smoking a cigarette. Itwas the middle of winter. There wassnow underfoot and on the rooftopsabove him there were huge blocks ofice. Thats what he said anyway, andI had no reason to disbelieve him.

Anyway this students problem wasthat he was a very heavy smoker. He

had tried to give up many times andeach time, he said giving up had notbeen hard, but it had beenimpossible preventing himself fromstarting again. So right there, on thepavement of a Moscow street withtall buildings all around him, hefinished his cigarette and that wouldhave been that, except that heinstantly thought that he would liketo have another one. So he took offhis gloves, reached into his jacketpocket, got a pack of Marlboros and

pulled out a cigarette. Next, as youwould expect, he reached for thelighter he had bought himself theday before and then, right there inthe street, in the cold, he stopped tolight his cigarette, and another manwho had been walking just behindhim passed him as he went on downthe pavement.

At that moment, a large block of icedetached itself from a roof abovethem and came crashing down intothe street. It hit the man who had

just passed my student, killing him

Give two marks for each opinion.Sample answer:There are too many pressures on

teenagers to conform these days.I agree to a certain extent, asmodern society exerts a lot ofpressure on people as a result ofmedia manipulation and advertising.On the other hand, there has alwaysbeen pressure on teenagers toconform as they are at such avulnerable age.1 Everyone should be required to

vote by law.I agree to a certain extent becausepeople fought so hard to win the

Unit 13

A

It is a mystery to me why manyfamous or fictional criminals areidolised by average people. I wonderif it is because the criminal lifestylehas somehow been glorified bymedia attention and so many moviesabout crime and criminals?For example, James Gandolfini wascatapulted into the limelight as themob boss on the hugely popularshow The Sopranos. Films likeGoodfellas and Casino are beingconstantly repeated on television dueto their popularity. I suppose certaintypes of crime involving getawaycars, high-risk robberies and thieves

fleeing from the police must seemexciting to people whose lives mightbe governed by the mundane.My sister-inlaw is one of thosepeople who is fascinated by serialkillers. We were over there the othernight and some new books aboutserial killers were being delivered toher. She was so excited but I wasfreaked out by the whole episode.Another thing that makes menervous is that some real-life orfictional criminals are being blamed

for inspiring copycat crimes. It isgruesome to think that people willbe inspired by what they see ontelevision, in the news or at themovies. To make matters worse, howmany children will be arrested in thefuture for mimicking what they seein the media or from their computergames?

1 The military institutionalisesmany of its employees.Present simple passive: Many of

Future passive: The lives of futuregenerations will be radicallychanged by global warming.

3 A new skater took my rollerskates.Past simple passive: My rollerskates were taken by a new skater.Past continuous passive: My rollerskates were being taken by a new

skater.4 My friends have helped me out a

lot recently.Present perfect passive: I havebeen helped out a lot by myfriends recently

Future perfect passive: I will havebeen helped out a lot by myfriends.

5 The veterinarian had alreadyspayed my cat.
