1 Two families – one from London, and one from Liverpool – have won last night’s national lottery. Speaking from outside their home in London’s East End, Mr and Mrs Miller said that they will ‘not let the money change their lives’ and that they will both be at work as usual on Monday morning. The Liverpool family, who do not wish to be named, plan to move abroad.

2 For many years now, Changi Airport in Singapore has been voted the world’s best airport by airline travellers. Changi Airport does not simply provide travellers with wonderful restaurants and shops in a calm and pleasant atmosphere. You can also swim in its rooftop swimming pool, have a massage in one of its spas, sit quietly in the ‘garden’ area of its main hall, or watch TV in comfortable chairs while waiting for your flight.

3Before the invention of the compass, sailors looked to the sun in the daytime and to the stars at night to help them find their way across the oceans. For example, by locating Polaris (or ‘the North Star’) in the night sky, sailors could identify the direction of North. This is because Polaris never moves from its position in the night sky directly above the North Pole.

4Long ago, zoos obtained their animals by going out into the wild and capturing them. Today, this happens very rarely. For one thing, it is extremely stressful for the animals involved and there is a high risk of injury.

E A great shopping experience

F Working to protect animals

G Everything you need

H Waiting in comfort

Also, wild animals often carry diseases that would harm the other animals in the zoo. Today, therefore, most zoos get their animals from the captive breeding programmes of other zoos.

5Gyms these days are full of all kinds of fancy exercise equipment; treadmills, rowing machines, exercise bikes, resistance machines and much more. But the biggest gyms also have swimming pools, steam rooms and cafeterias. They offer classes in yoga, dance, aerobics and many other forms of exercise. And they have expert trainers on hand to answer all your fitness questions.

6Here is one thing that we can all do to help species that are close to extinction. When travelling overseas, be very careful not to buy any souvenirs that have been made from species nearing extinction. This means avoiding purchasing items made from ivory, coral and fur and also ‘medicinal’ products as they often contain rhino, tiger and bear parts.

7Wildlife parks and zoos are very educational places but perhaps their greatest purpose is the conservation of endangered species. Animal centres all around the world work together in order to breed rare and endangered species. For example, today there are only a few hundred giant pandas left in the wild. If breeding programmes and conservation efforts are successful, future generations may still be able to see these beautiful animals in the flesh, not just in books.

In 2004, a grave containing the skeletons of a human and a cat, lying close together, was excavated in Cyprus.

The grave was around 9,500 years old, 1) …….. .

The ancient Egyptians kept cats as pets,

2) …….. .

People often placed statues of cats outside their homes, 3) …….. . When a cat died, their former owners and the other occupants of the house would go into deep mourning and would often even shave their eyebrows as a sign of grief.

Moreover, cats were frequently mummified and bowls of milk and dead rats and mice were placed in their tombs, 4) …….. .

Awhich seems very strange to modern cultures

Band showed that cats had been kept by humans for far longer than we had previously thought

Cso that they would have food for their journey into the afterlife

Das they kept rats and mice away from homes

Cats were so respected in ancient Egypt that they were even protected by law. People could be sentenced to death if they killed a cat, 5) …….. .

One record documents the execution of an unfortunate Roman soldier whose chariot had run over a cat.

There are many tomb scenes that show cats as part of everyday life in ancient Egypt. They often showed them wearing jewellery including earrings, necklaces and fancy collars. The Egyptians even took their cats on hunting expeditions, 6) …….. .

Today, it is estimated that there are over 600 million domestic cats around the world, which makes the cat the most popular of all pets. However, the cat no longer has any religious significance in any culture.

A New Life

“Are you looking for a room?” the man had asked. We’d only just got off the bus. Ian was still pulling the bags out of the luggage

prices,” the man

A15

We’d been all around the country that summer, finding temporary work to pay for our travels. Ian had grown up in a village, so

A16

the local farmers had been happy to hire him to help them out for a week or two. I’m a city boy myself, but because I’m pretty well-built I didn’t have a problem either. Of course, that meant that I got all the heavy work!

Once we had collected our bags, we followed the man up a nearby side-street. He didn’t stop talking the whole way. After a few twists

That first night we strolled around the town to see what opportunities there might be for work. Our last job had given us enough to live off for a few weeks so we weren’t desperate,

A19

possible. Everyone we met was very friendly and we went back to our rooms feeling quite optimistic.

Within a couple of days, I had started work

at a fish restaurant in the town washing up the

A20

pots and dishes. Maybe it wasn’t the best job in the world, but after weeks of manual labour in the fields it was a welcome change. I could watch the chef preparing the food and sometimes, when the restaurant was particularly busy, I would help him. He knew

these rooms would be too expensive for us. The man must have read my thoughts. “Now, normally I’d be asking twice as much for these rooms,” he began, “but you’re in luck because the tourist season is practically over.”

The rooms were perfect. The décor was slightly shabby but, as if to make up for it, the balcony had a stunning view over the town. We decided to stay for a month initially, and depending on what happened, we would come to an arrangement after that. It was a relief to be settled somewhere, if only for a few weeks. I could now pack my suitcase in record time and we’d met so many people that I’d lost count. Sometimes when I was introduced to yet another stranger I would change my name, just to make it more interesting.

tasted amazing. I’d go home at night and write down the recipes and tips that I’d learnt.

Our first month in the town came to an end and we decided to stay for another three. Ian had found some painting and decorating work and I was quite happy. Those three months turned into six, and before I knew it I had been at the restaurant for a whole year. The chef asked me if I would like to become his assistant — he said I had a natural gift for cooking. So that’s how I ended up here, ten years later, as Head Chef at Alberto’s Fish

Restaurant. Ian is still here as well, running

A21

his own decorating business. One day I hope to achieve something similar for myself, too.

A Travel with a purpose

B Make a discovery

C Getting a good view

DA difficult task

1 For hundreds of years, people have been competing in bizarre ‘gurning’ contests around England. What is gurning? Well, it is simply the act of making the ugliest face possible. Some elderly people can make some spectacular gurns. If they have false teeth, they can take them out and bring their lower lip so far up that it can cover their nose! But even younger people can make amazing gurns – just look at celebrity Jim Carrey!

2Thousands of spectators line the route of the Tour de France bike race each year, trying to see over other people’s heads. Then when the competitors pass, they flash by so quickly that it is hard to get even a glimpse of them. Therefore, it’s worth buying a tour guide with route information so that you can plan well in advance the best place to stand to see your favourite cyclists speed by.

3The goal of responsible tourism is to help people in need as well as the holidaymakers themselves. Some tour operators, for example, organise charity bike rides. Visitors cycle around places of interest following a pre-arranged route. They enjoy a valuable new experience and at the same time part of the cost of the holiday is donated to local community projects.

4The Sibit-sibit Festival is held each year to give tourists a rich and colourful picture of the history of Olongapo in the Philippines. Sibit-sibits are ancient paddle boats that

E Greatest invention

G Keeping traditions alive

H Still popular today

were used by fishing villages. During past celebrations, fishermen held races and won with their great physical strength alone. Today, the traditional Sibit-sibit Festival is a lively and enchanting event that brings together Olongapo’s rich past, successful present and promising future.

5Bicycles were first introduced in the 19th century and there are now over one billion of them worldwide. Many people still prefer this eco-friendly mode of transport. Postmen, delivery personnel and even police officers can often be seen riding bicycles.

6The Archaeological Seminars Foundation offers visitors of all ages the opportunity to ‘Dig for a Day’. This programme allows the unskilled enthusiast to get their hands dirty while getting the chance to make a fabulous discovery. Activities include digging, pottery examination and touring the latest excavation site. Thousands of people have already participated in this memorable experience!

7What is the most important mechanical invention of all time? The wheel no doubt! The earliest known use of the wheel was probably the potter’s wheel in 3500 BC in Mesopotamia. Interestingly enough, the wheel was used for manufacturing before it was used for transporting. Today, nearly every machine includes the wheel; from the smallest of pocket watches to the largest of aeroplanes.

Part 1 The introduction to a presentation

 TIP 1 Don’t waste a lot of time in the beginning of your presentation introducing yourself, your company and the subject of your talk. Get on with it!

Policy on questions / discussion

  • Please interrupt if you have any question.

  • After my talk there’ll be time for a discussion and any question.

 TIP 2 How you begin your presentation depends on how formal the situation is. Most audiences prefer a relatively informal approach.

 TWO ALTERNATIVE WAYSOF INTRODUCING YOURSELF AND THE SUBJECT OF YOUR PRESENTATION

FAIRLY FORMAL

MORE FRIENDLY

  • expectations

  • technical knowledge

  • size

  • questions and / or discussion

Speaker’s competence

  • knowledge

  • voice

variety / speed

pauses

  • body language

eye contact

gesture / movement

posture

Visual aids

  • type / design / clarity

  • script or notes

Room

  • size / seating

  • equipment (does it work?)

  • sound quality

Language

  • simple / clear

  • spelling

  • sentence length

  • structure signals

Part 2 Effective Openings

 TIP 4 Communication experts are all agreed that the first three minutes of a presentation are the most important. They talk about “hooks” – simple techniques for getting the immediate attention of the audience. A good start makes you feel more confident. Remember three hooks for your audience: a problem, amazing facts, stories.

  1. Give them a problem to think about. For instance: Supposeyour advertising budget was cut by 99% tomorrow. How would you go about promoting your product?

  2. Give them some amazing facts. For instance: I read somewhere the other day that the world’s highest paid executive works    for Disney and gets $230 million a year. Now that’s about $2000 a minute. That means he’s currently making more money than Volkswagen.

  3. Give them a story or personal anecdote. For instance: Have you ever been in the situation whereyou’ve had to negotiate with Japanese? I remember when I was working in Nagoya and everybody had told me the Japanese don’t like saying no. So in meetings I just kept saying yeahto everything. And they hated it. It turned out yeahsounds like noin Japanese!

 The following frames will help you prepare effective openings:

PROBLEM TECHNIQUE

  1. Suppose ……………………………………………………………………………………

How would you……………………………………………………………………………?

  1. Have you ever wondered why it is that …………………………………………………

……………………………………………………………………………..…? You have?

Well, if I could show you …………………………………………………………………

………………………………………………………….………would you be interested?

  1. How many people here this morning / afternoon / evening ……………………………

…………………………………………………………………………………………….?

Well, imagine ……………………………………………………………………………..

……………………………………………////…………… Do you think that’s possible?

AMAZING FACTS TECHNIQUE

  1. Did you know that ……………………………………………………..……………..…?

  2. According to the latest study, ……………………………………………………………

  3. Statistics show that ……………………………………………………………………….

4.   I read somewhere the other day that ……………………………………………………

STORY / ANECDOTE TECHNIQUE

  1. You know, …………………………………………………………………………………

When I think about ……………………………………………………………………….

I’m reminded of ……………………………………………………………………………

  1. Have you ever been in the situation when ……………………………………………….

It turned out that …………………………………………………………………………

TIP 5 Whatever technique you choose, prepare your opening carefully. You should know exactly how you are going to start.]

Part 3 Stating your purpose

TIP 6 It is essential to state the purpose of your presentation near the beginning. To do this clearly and effectively you need a few simple presentation verbs: take a look at, report on, give an overview of etc.

A LIST OF PRESENTATION VERBS

TIP 7 When you give a presentation in English, clarity is very important, particularly if there are non-native speakers in your audience. It often helps if you state your purpose at each stage of your talk as well as in the beginning.

PRESENTATION EXTRACTS

  1. First of all, I’d like to outlinethe main points of my talk.

  2. Perhaps I should start off by stressingthat this is just a preliminary report.

  3. But later on I will, in fact, be putting forwardseveral detailed proposals.

  4. One thing I’ll be dealing withis the issue of the minimum wage.

  5. And I’ll also be raising the question of privatization.

  6. So, that we’re really looking atare likely developments in the structure of the company over the next five to ten years.

  7. I few could just focus our attention on the short-term objectives to begin with.

  8. The eighteen-month plan, which by now you should’ve all had time to look at, sets outin detail our main recommendations.

  9. Basically, what we’re suggestingis a complete reorganization of staff and plant.

  10. I’d now like to turnmy attention to some of the difficulties we’re likely to face.

  11. I’m sure there’s no need to spell outwhat the main problem is going to be.

  12. But we do need to seriously addressthe question of how we are going to overcome it.

  13. The basic message I’m trying to get acrossis simple. We can’t rely on government support for much longer.

  14. Disappointing end-of-year figures underlinethe seriousness of the situation.

  15. And the main conclusion we’ve come tois that massive corporate restructuring is necessary.

Part 4 Dealing with questions

TIP 8 When people ask you questions, listen carefully. Avoid the temptation to interrupt. It’s a good idea to comment on it before you actually answer it. This gives you time to think.

There are four basic types of questions:

Type of a question

Possible responses

Good questions

Thank people for asking them. They help you to get your message across to the audience better.

 Good point.

I’m glad you asked that.

That’s a very good question.

 Difficult questions

These are the ones you can’t or prefer not to answer. Say you don’t know, offer to find out or ask the questioner what they think.

I’m afraid I don’t have that information with me.

I’m afraid I’m not in a position to comment on that.

Can I get back to you on that?

Interesting. What do you think?

 Unnecessary questions

You have already given this information. Point this out, answer briefly again and move on.

 Well, as I said…

Well, as I mentioned earlier…

I think I answered that earlier.

 Irrelevant question.

Try not to sound rude, but move on.

To be honest, I think that raises a different issue.

I’m afraid I don’t see the connection.

 Part 5 How to become a good presenter:

 1. LEAVE NOTHING TO CHANGE

Check everything before you are due to speak – room, seating, visibility, acoustics and equipment.

2. KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO START

Plan the first minute of your presentation down to the last detail. Try to memorize your  opening words. This will help you sound confident and in control.

3. GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT 

Don’t waste time on long boring introductions. Try to make at least one powerful statement in the first two minutes.

4. TALK TO YOUR AUDIENCE

Many of the best presentations sound more like conversations. So, keep referring back to your audience, ask them questions, respond to their reactions.

5. KNOW WHAT WORKS

Certain things are always popular with an audience: personal experiences, stories with a message, dramatic comparisons, amazing facts they didn’t know. Use them to the full.

6. BE CONCISE

Keep your sentences short and simple. Use deliberate pauses to punctuate your speech.

7. SPEAK NATURALLY

Don’t be afraid to hesitate when you speak, but make sure you pause in the right place. Remember, you are not an actor trying to remember lines. A certain amount of hesitation is actually quite natural.

8. TREAT YOUR AUDIENCE AS EQUALS

Never talk down (or up) to your audience. Treat them as equals, no matter who they are.

9. TAKE YOUR TIME 

Whenever you make a really important point, pause and let the full significance of what  you have said sink in… before you move on.

10. DON’T MAKE A SPECIAL EFFORT TO BE FUNNY

If you make a joke, don’t stop and wait for people to laugh. Keep going and let the laughter interrupt you.

11. LET YOUR VISUALS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES

Good visuals are just that – visuals. Don’t put boring tables of figures and long lines of text on the overhead and read them out Stick to the main points. Experiment with three- dimensional charts, cartoons, interesting typefaces – anything to catch your audience’s attention.

12. NEVER COMPETE WITH YOUR VISUALS

When showing a visual, keep quiet and give people time to take it in. Then make brief comments only. Point to the relevant parts of the visual as you speak. If you want to say more, switch off your projector to do so.

13. DEVELOP YOUR OWN STYLE 

Learn from other public speakers, but don’t try to copy them. Be comfortable with your own abilities. Don’t do anything that feels unnatural for you, just because it works for someone else.

14. ENJOY THE EXPERIENCE

The secret of being an excellent speaker is to enjoy the experience of speaking – try to enjoy the experience!

15. WELCOME QUESTIONS FROM YOUR AUDIENCE

When members of your audience ask you a question, it is usually because they have a genuine interest in what you are saying and want to learn more. Trat questions as an opportunity to get your message across better.

16. FINISH STRONGLY

When you are ready to finish your presentation, slow down, and lower your voice. Look at the audience and deliver your final words slowly and clearly. Pause, let your words hang in the air a moment longer, smile, say Thank you and then sit down.

1 Two families – one from London, and one from Liverpool – have won last night’s national lottery. Speaking from outside their home in London’s East End, Mr and Mrs Miller said that they will ‘not let the money change their lives’ and that they will both be at work as usual on Monday morning. The Liverpool family, who do not wish to be named, plan to move abroad.

2 For many years now, Changi Airport in Singapore has been voted the world’s best airport by airline travellers. Changi Airport does not simply provide travellers with wonderful restaurants and shops in a calm and pleasant atmosphere. You can also swim in its rooftop swimming pool, have a massage in one of its spas, sit quietly in the ‘garden’ area of its main hall, or watch TV in comfortable chairs while waiting for your flight.

3Before the invention of the compass, sailors looked to the sun in the daytime and to the stars at night to help them find their way across the oceans. For example, by locating Polaris (or ‘the North Star’) in the night sky, sailors could identify the direction of North. This is because Polaris never moves from its position in the night sky directly above the North Pole.

4Long ago, zoos obtained their animals by going out into the wild and capturing them. Today, this happens very rarely. For one thing, it is extremely stressful for the animals involved and there is a high risk of injury.

E A great shopping experience

F Working to protect animals

G Everything you need

H Waiting in comfort

Also, wild animals often carry diseases that would harm the other animals in the zoo. Today, therefore, most zoos get their animals from the captive breeding programmes of other zoos.

5Gyms these days are full of all kinds of fancy exercise equipment; treadmills, rowing machines, exercise bikes, resistance machines and much more. But the biggest gyms also have swimming pools, steam rooms and cafeterias. They offer classes in yoga, dance, aerobics and many other forms of exercise. And they have expert trainers on hand to answer all your fitness questions.

6Here is one thing that we can all do to help species that are close to extinction. When travelling overseas, be very careful not to buy any souvenirs that have been made from species nearing extinction. This means avoiding purchasing items made from ivory, coral and fur and also ‘medicinal’ products as they often contain rhino, tiger and bear parts.

7Wildlife parks and zoos are very educational places but perhaps their greatest purpose is the conservation of endangered species. Animal centres all around the world work together in order to breed rare and endangered species. For example, today there are only a few hundred giant pandas left in the wild. If breeding programmes and conservation efforts are successful, future generations may still be able to see these beautiful animals in the flesh, not just in books.

A15

We’d been all around the country that summer, finding temporary work to pay for our travels. Ian had grown up in a village, so

A16

the local farmers had been happy to hire him to help them out for a week or two. I’m a city boy myself, but because I’m pretty well-built I didn’t have a problem either. Of course, that meant that I got all the heavy work!

Once we had collected our bags, we followed the man up a nearby side-street. He didn’t stop talking the whole way. After a few twists

That first night we strolled around the town to see what opportunities there might be for work. Our last job had given us enough to live off for a few weeks so we weren’t desperate,

A19

possible. Everyone we met was very friendly and we went back to our rooms feeling quite optimistic.

Within a couple of days, I had started work

at a fish restaurant in the town washing up the

A20

pots and dishes. Maybe it wasn’t the best job in the world, but after weeks of manual labour in the fields it was a welcome change. I could watch the chef preparing the food and sometimes, when the restaurant was particularly busy, I would help him. He knew

these rooms would be too expensive for us. The man must have read my thoughts. “Now, normally I’d be asking twice as much for these rooms,” he began, “but you’re in luck because the tourist season is practically over.”

The rooms were perfect. The décor was slightly shabby but, as if to make up for it, the balcony had a stunning view over the town. We decided to stay for a month initially, and depending on what happened, we would come to an arrangement after that. It was a relief to be settled somewhere, if only for a few weeks. I could now pack my suitcase in record time and we’d met so many people that I’d lost count. Sometimes when I was introduced to yet another stranger I would change my name, just to make it more interesting.

tasted amazing. I’d go home at night and write down the recipes and tips that I’d learnt.

Our first month in the town came to an end and we decided to stay for another three. Ian had found some painting and decorating work and I was quite happy. Those three months turned into six, and before I knew it I had been at the restaurant for a whole year. The chef asked me if I would like to become his assistant — he said I had a natural gift for cooking. So that’s how I ended up here, ten years later, as Head Chef at Alberto’s Fish

Restaurant. Ian is still here as well, running

A21

his own decorating business. One day I hope to achieve something similar for myself, too.

1 For hundreds of years, people have been competing in bizarre ‘gurning’ contests around England. What is gurning? Well, it is simply the act of making the ugliest face possible. Some elderly people can make some spectacular gurns. If they have false teeth, they can take them out and bring their lower lip so far up that it can cover their nose! But even younger people can make amazing gurns – just look at celebrity Jim Carrey!

2Thousands of spectators line the route of the Tour de France bike race each year, trying to see over other people’s heads. Then when the competitors pass, they flash by so quickly that it is hard to get even a glimpse of them. Therefore, it’s worth buying a tour guide with route information so that you can plan well in advance the best place to stand to see your favourite cyclists speed by.

3The goal of responsible tourism is to help people in need as well as the holidaymakers themselves. Some tour operators, for example, organise charity bike rides. Visitors cycle around places of interest following a pre-arranged route. They enjoy a valuable new experience and at the same time part of the cost of the holiday is donated to local community projects.

4The Sibit-sibit Festival is held each year to give tourists a rich and colourful picture of the history of Olongapo in the Philippines. Sibit-sibits are ancient paddle boats that

were used by fishing villages. During past celebrations, fishermen held races and won with their great physical strength alone. Today, the traditional Sibit-sibit Festival is a lively and enchanting event that brings together Olongapo’s rich past, successful present and promising future.

5Bicycles were first introduced in the 19th century and there are now over one billion of them worldwide. Many people still prefer this eco-friendly mode of transport. Postmen, delivery personnel and even police officers can often be seen riding bicycles.

6The Archaeological Seminars Foundation offers visitors of all ages the opportunity to ‘Dig for a Day’.
