Authors acknowledgementsFor this new edition of the workbook Id like to thank Nicola Gardner and my editor Louise Fonceca as well as my original editor Tim Cater. Your constructive comments have been extremely useful while I was writing and have definitely made this a better book.Of course, I need to thank Lindsay without whom none of this would have been possible. Onwards and upwards!The first edition of the workbook also benefited from discussions I had with some of my students. In particular: Pelagia Thoma, Ilaria Casalanguida, Aleksandra Milkovska, Sopio Gugunava, Daniela Champin, Safina Alfian Yusof, Magdalena Surmiak, Elena Urdiales, Michal Hrnciarik, Rasa Yuriychuk, Petar Hristov, Aline Dias and Gabriela Stemate. I learnt a lot from you all and many of the exercises were products of conversations we had about what students wanted from a workbook.Finally, I'd like to thank my wife Agi, my daughter Aliz and my dog Molly for their patience, the endless supply of coffee, trying out many of the exercises and for putting up with my sense of humour.

The publishers would like to thank all the teachers from around the world who provided invaluable comments, suggestions and feedback on the first edition.The publishers would also like to thank the following people for their help and contribution to the second edition:Tatiana Baytimerova (Russia), Lenka Boehmova (Czech Republic), Dr. Manuel Padilla Cruz (Spain), Svetlana Elchaninova (Russia), Jennifer Diaz Green (Dublin), Elena Mokeeva (Romania), Lynn Thomson (freelance editor), Amany Shawkey (Macmillan Egypt), Maria Teresa Rius Villaplana (Spain), Natalia Vorobyeva (Russia).

Dear dob and Madge,

Welcome to my home. I hope you have a nice stay for the weeks you are here. Here is some useful information about the house and the town.

Crawford is a nice small town. There are some good shops but there isnt a cinema or theatre. There is a beautiful park near to the rim . The river is about 15 minutes from my house. There is a small shop on the street. My house, number 15, is opposite the shop and next to a school.Don't worry, in the holiday the school is closed so it is quiet.

OK, inside the house. There are three rooms on the ground floor: the kitchen, living room and a small room at the back with the washing machine. There are some plants in the kitchen next to the fridge. Please water them. The TV is on the table next to the bookcase in the living room. There are two bedrooms on the first floor. Please use the one opposite the bathroom. In the study - next to the bathroom - there is a computer and a small stereo with my CDs.

So, enjoy your stay.Malcolm

3100I really enjoyed this film. The story begins in New York in the year 3100. Its about two people who are from the 21st century and who are in the same city 1,000 years in the future. The acting was really good and the story was very interesting. A really great film.

Mr right?Sandra (Jo-Anne Massey) moves to a new city. She is very unhappy because she has no friends. She meets Josh (Alex Smith) and they go for walks, they go out for dinner and she is very happy. Then she discovers that Josh is married! Jo-Anne Massey and Alex Smith act badly in the film. One to miss.

1 Everyone gets backache2 Backache - some answers3 What is backache?

Many people get backache, but how can you prevent it and what can you do to make it better? Here are a few ideas to help you.

Sitting fo r hours in front of a com puter is not good. You should always use a chair that has a back. You should sit straight and you should stand up and stretch every twenty to th irty minutes.

It's also important to think about how you stand. Stand stra ight and pull your shoulders back. You should also wear shoes with low heels, because high heels are bad fo r you.

2 Q

3

Another important factor is your bed, as many people spend eight hours or more in bed every night. Your bed should be firm as your back needs to be straight. You shouldnt have too many pillows because your neck should not be too high.

When you lift something, you should bend your knees and keep your back straight. Dont lift things that are very heavy and you should lift or carry things close to your body.
