I agree with the quotation. Advertising makes us believe that we need a lot of stuff and some people get into debt buying things that they don’t really need. I disagree. I think adverts just show us what’s new and available – in the end, it’s up to us whether or not we buy it. I think TV adverts are the most effective. They’re often funny or clever and can be fun to watch – everyone has their favourite TV ad. I think large billboards are very effective, because they usually have eye-catching, interesting images.

Possible Answers CALL CENTRE REPRESENTATIVES NEEDED What work experience have you got? I’m afraid I don’t have much. I’ve just taught English to young kids during my summer holidays. Tell me honestly, why do you think you’d be good at this job? Well, because I like sorting out problems and I’d love to help customers. Also, I can learn really fast. What would you say are your best characteristics? I’m trustworthy and reliable. I’ve just completed my A levels and I think I can work well under pressure. You know it’s a full-time job and we’d expect you to work in shifts. Is that okay with you? Yes, no problem. I don’t mind working shifts. HOTEL RECEPTIONIST AT PARTON RESORT What work experience have you got? I worked as a camp counsellor last summer – it was quite rewarding and I learnt a lot of different skills. What are your plans for the future? I’d like to apply for a university where I can study hotel management. I’ve always liked hotels. Why do you think you’d be good at this job? Well, because I’ve got great people skills and can speak English, French and Spanish. I’m quite fluent in French, actually. I’m also reliable and conscientious. You know you would have to do different duties: check in hotel guests, take reservations and receive payments for accommodation. And it’s a full-time job. Is that okay with you? Yes, no problem. It’s fine. page 68

Possible Answer We’ve agreed that cyclists should be required to have a licence because they ride on the roads and have to obey the traffic laws. We’ve also agreed that it is a good idea to ban cars from the city centre because it would be far safer for pedestrians. Besides, more people would go shopping in the city centre – and it would also be good for the environment. Finally, we’ve also decided that parents are often unaware of the way their children drive and they should take more responsibility. Making parents pay for any damage might help.

3 The writer suggests that people who are opposed to the idea of raising the speed limit should send an e-mail to the minister of transport.

Possible Answer In the picture, you can see a young man sitting on a suitcase. In the background, there seems to be a small building that is locked. He might be waiting for someone to open the building for him. Perhaps he has arrived too early or the person has decided not to meet him. I would imagine that he is disappointed and impatient. It seems likely that he will leave soon.

Possible Answers  The two pictures are similar because they show people on holiday. Both pictures show people relaxing outdoors. The pictures are different because in picture I, the people are camping while in picture II, they are at a hotel. One picture shows the sea in the background, while the other shows a swimming pool. The advantage of camping is that it’s inexpensive and peaceful. The disadvantage is that it’s hard work and not always comfortable. The advantage of a hotel is that you don’t have to work hard, but it’s an expensive vacation and can be very crowded. When camping, you can enjoy nature, while in a hotel, you can meet new people and participate in activities. I would prefer to stay in a hotel because when I am on holiday, I like to relax and not work hard.

Speaking Practice 5 Comparing Pictures page 110 Possible Answers Both pictures show people taking part in a sport. The pictures are similar because both sports take place outdoors and the people need to have a good sense of balance. The pictures are different because in picture I, the person is surfing while in picture II, the person is cycling on a mountain top. I think surfing is more dangerous and thrilling because the sea is unpredictable. Cycling is probably a more expensive sport because of all the equipment. I would prefer to cycle than to surf because cycling is a good way to travel around.
