Listening tasks
Stage 1
If theres a picture to illustrate the topic, elicit
information from your students which will help
prepare them for what theyre going to listen to, e.g. in
Unit 4, page 32, the photos can be used as prompts to
ask students what they know about the subject area.
Stage 2
Tell students what kind of conversation theyre going
to be listening to, e.g. a candidate and examiner
talking about the candidates topic, or a radio
presenter giving answers to a quiz.
Stage 3
Before students listen, go through the task/s they have
to do while listening, using the following procedure:
1 Get students to read the instructions.
2 Ask students to volunteer to tell you what they have
to do; this could be in the students first language
(L1) if you are teaching in a mono-lingual
environment and you speak the L1 yourself.
3 Select a student who you are reasonably sure will
have understood what to do, and ask her/him to
explain to the class.
4 Check that she/he gives the correct instructions!
Give further clarification yourself, if necessary.
5 Give students a further chance to ask questions
about what they have to do, or the meaning of
vocabulary items in the task/s.
Stage 4
Play the recording a first time. If you judge that most
students have managed to hear a good proportion of
the answers, get them to compare their answers in
pairs, then play the recording again and get them to
check with their partner a second time. However, if
you think that, after the first time, a lot of students
havent managed to hear most of the answers (look
out for blank faces!), then play it a second time before
they check answers in pairs, then play it a third time,
and let them compare again in pairs after this.
Stage 5
Now elicit answers from students. If all students agree
on an answer to a question, and it is the correct
answer, confirm that its correct. However, where this is
disagreement on the correct answer, write all the
possible answers that students give you for that
question on the board, put a big question mark next
to them, and tell students that, in a minute, youll
replay that part of the recording so that they can listen
again. Finish eliciting answers for all the questions in

the task, then go back to the answers that are in doubt


and, one at a time, replay the relevant parts of the
recording, repeatedly if necessary, until all students
agree on the correct answer. At this point, you can rub
out the other possible answers on the board, leaving
only the correct one for that question.
Stage 6
You could play the recording one last time, now that
students have all the answers, so that they can listen
with a new level of understanding. You will have to
decide whether its appropriate to do this, or not; it
could be that, if students have had to listen repeatedly
to various parts of the recording in Stage 5 in order to
agree on answers, they wont be very enthusiastic
about listening yet another time.

Brainstorming vocabulary
Stage 1
Give students a specified time limit to think together
(in pairs or small groups) and to make a list of all the
vocabulary they can connected with the subject in
hand. Make it clear that they should also be prepared
to provide an explanation about what the word/phrase
means.
Stage 2
Now ask students to tell you their words/phrases from
Stage 1. Write them up on the board as they do so. Its
important, here, that, if students are not familiar with a
word/phrase that another student gives, they ask
about the meaning; when this arises, the student who
gives the word/phrase in question should also try and
explain it obviously, if she/he has difficulty doing
this, you will need to help.
Stage 3
If there are target vocabulary items that need to be
introduced, e.g. because later tasks depend on them,
and they didnt come up in Stage 2, introduce them
now yourself. How you do this will depend on the
vocabulary itself, e.g. some items will be best
introduced through pictures, others by explaining the
meaning and eliciting from students the word/phrase.

Speaking tasks
This guidance is to help teachers organise, monitor
and give feedback for roleplays and speaking activities
to practise fluency, not for more controlled speaking
tasks that are designed primarily to practise specific
functions or grammatical structures.
Stage 1
Roleplays details about individual roles are provided
in the instructions for students for these type of tasks.
Get students to read their roles before going on to
Stage 2.
Fluency-type speaking tasks start off by giving a
model yourself of what students have to do, for
example, where they have to tell one another about
their own personal experiences in relation to the
subject, tell them about a relevant experience that you
have had.
Stage 2
Give students the chance to prepare for what theyre
going to talk about. For roleplays, students are usually
asked to prepare roles together. For fluency-type
speaking tasks, students will usually be preparing
alone. Set a time limit, e.g., five minutes, and
encourage them to make notes to organise their
thoughts and to help them with what theyre going to
say, but not to write a script. Make it clear that, during
this preparation phase, they can consult you about
vocabulary they need, etc., but that during the
speaking phase that will follow, they cant. While they
are preparing, you should circulate, helping and
answering questions as necessary.

Stage 4
When students have finished Stage 3, ask them if they
noticed anything that they themselves or their partner
did particularly well and get them to tell the class (in
this way, they are reflecting on their own performance
and that of their peers). After this, go through the
points for praise that you wrote on the board, followed
by the points for improvement. Dont mention which
student/s made the individual mistakes; instead, elicit
the correct version from all the students and correct it
on the board.
Stage 5
Now give students an opportunity to ask you about
things they may have realised they didnt know how
to say when they were doing the speaking phase.
Answer these queries and write the words/phrases
they want to know on the board.
Stage 6
Now get students to repeat the speaking phase (Stage
3 above) with a different partner/s. The aim of
repeating this phase is that, after the correction and
query phases (Stages 4 and 5 above), they have a
chance to improve their performance in the task.

Stage 3
Students now perform the speaking phase. Explain
that you will be listening to them during this phase,
but you will not be answering questions. Emphasise
that the aim here is for them to practise speaking
fluently, without interrupting their flow to ask about
how to say something. While they are speaking,
monitor and make notes about any aspects that you
think they do particularly well, and also any aspects
that could be improved, including grammar and
vocabulary mistakes that you hear. If students try and
ask you for help while you are monitoring, tell them
that you will help them afterwards, but, for the
moment, they should try and say it in a different way.
When they are approaching the end of this phase,
start writing the points you have noted up on the
board. Put them in two columns, perhaps headed by a
smiling face for the points for praise and an unsmiling/
frowning face for the points for improvement.

Procedures file
Writing tasks

In most units of the Students Book, there is a section


which practises the Reading into Writing component
of the Controlled Written exam, i.e. where candidates
read a text, then write either a report or an article (this
varies from one exam to another) based on
information or ideas from the text. These sections do
not include an explicit focus on how to write articles
or reports. With this in mind, you will probably want to
use the material in the Writing file, page 91.

Trinity helps with this by providing a special form for


the teacher (the Student Portfolio Feedback Form,
photocopiable from the ISE Syllabus, downloadable
from the Trinity College website) to point out to
candidates areas for improvement in their written
work; this would most usefully be used before
candidates write the final version of each task for their
portfolio.
Before candidates give a draft of their task to the
teacher, however, they can also gain from critically
assessing their own work, and help other students by
critically assessing one anothers work. See page 7 of
the Teachers Book for a Self/Peer Assessment
Checklist you could use, and an activity to help
students with comprehension of, and familiarisation
with, the Student Portfolio Feedback Form.
In the month or so before candidates begin preparing
portfolio tasks, you could start getting them used to
receiving a less directed form of feedback by adopting a
system of correction symbols when marking their
written work, so that mistakes are categorised, e.g. as
a grammar, or spelling mistake, but not corrected
explicitly. In this way, the student has to think about
what the mistake could be and try and correct it
her/himself.
Samples from the Portfolio section and from the
Controlled Written exam are available at the Trinity
College website.

Assessing Portfolio work the teachers role

Procedure for drafting and improving writing tasks

Trinity has very clear guidelines as to the extent of the


help that you, as the teacher, can give your students
with written work for their portfolios. Please see the
ISE Syllabus (available online at the Trinity College
website) for these guidelines. Looking at what
teachers must not do, you will see that the traditional
way of marking students work, where each mistake is
corrected by the teacher, is not allowed for candidates
portfolio tasks. This means that we need to introduce
an alternative approach for helping students improve
their written work, where teachers guide learners in
working out their own mistakes and discovering by
themselves how they can improve their writing.

For portfolio writing tasks to be an example of


candidates best work, they will need to go through
the process of drafting and redrafting, making
improvements each time.

Guidance for ISE I writing tasks


Writing genre guidance in New Pass Trinity
In most units of the Students Book, there is a focus on
how to write one of the specific type of texts which
feature in ISE I, i.e. letters, e-mails, reports, articles,
reviews, narratives, descriptions. This focus involves a
series of tasks to help students prepare for writing a
genre of text independently. There is also information
in the Writing file about characteristics of the various
text types, which students are referred to before they
start a writing task. Writing tasks in the units follow on
from other tasks where students have worked with
vocabulary and/or grammatical forms that will be
useful for the writing.
Controlled Written exam Reading into Writing
tasks

Stage 1
Students help one another with ideas for the writing
task instructions for the content of individual tasks
are given in the Students Book.
Stage 2
Students write the first draft of the task. This stage
would usually be done at home.
Stage 3
In class, students use the Self/Peer Assessment
Checklist on page 7, first to assess their own work,
then to assess another students work.

Trinity 5-6_TB_195x260_NI0072 04/03/11 09:54 Pagina 7

Procedures file
Stage 4
Students now write a second draft of the task,
improving their writing by taking into account the
points mentioned in Stage 3.

Stage 6
Students look at the advice you have given them on
the Feedback Form and, taking it into account, write
the third and final draft of the task.

Stage 5
Students not give their second draft to you. You
suggest ways to improve it by completing the Student
Portfolio Feedback Form, which can be photocopied
from the ISE Syllabus, available online at the Trinity
College website.

Stage 7
If students decide to use the task for their portfolio,
they must attach the Feedback Form from Stage 6 to
their final version.

Diagnostic test
Guidance for teachers
The test should be done in class. Any number of students can take the test at the same time. Photocopy the
Diagnostic test answer sheet and give one to each student. Students select their answers from the options given on
pages 6-7 of their coursebooks. The CD should be played without interruption.
It is important to understand that the Diagnostic test is not a precision instrument. It will help you in deciding
whether particular students are in a position to start preparing for a Grade 5, Grade 6 or ISE I examination. It will help
you in the sense that it tests listening comprehension and receptive knowledge of appropriate responses to
questions. However, to this information you must add your own knowledge of students speaking skills, and
additionally for ISE I, their productive writing skills and their reading skills. The test is design to determine whether
students are ready to start preparing for a specific examination not whether they are ready to take it. When
assessing students readiness, you, as the teacher, must also add your knowledge of the individual student in terms
of her/his application, motivation and normal rate of progress.
The questions are distributed as follows:
Questions 1 4 relate to the Grade 1 syllabus.
Questions 5 10 relate to the Grade 2 syllabus.
Questions 11 18 relate to the Grade 3 syllabus.
Questions 19 29 relate to the Grade 4 syllabus.
Questions 30 40 relate to the Grade 5 syllabus.

2a Ask students to look at the pictures and elicit any
vocabulary they know connected to the
celebrations. Students then look at the words in
the box and match them to the pictures. Students
either use a dictionary or you could pre-teach any
vocabulary which you feel most students will not
know.

Follow the suggested procedure for listening


tasks in the Procedures file on page 4.
Give students a few moments to decide in pairs
which festival each person is describing. You
could help them by eliciting what they think the
first one is, then writing up the following on the
board:
A I think that the person in number 1 is describing
New Years Eve. What do you think?
B Yes, I agree./No, I dont agree. I think shes/hes
describing...

ANSWERS
1 New Years Eve
2 Valentines Day
3 Halloween
4 Christmas
After giving answers, you might want to explain that,
in some countries such as Britain, people send
Valentines Day cards without signing their names
and people have to guess who the mysterious sender
is.

Go through the instructions with the class. You


might want to do an example with the class and
write the information on the board first.

Sentences
We put decorations all round our
home and usually have a tree.
We give each other presents and
put them around the tree. We
dont open them until the day
itself.
Traditionally the whole family get
together in one place for this
celebration.
We eat too much! We have a lot of
very rich food. In Britain they have
roast turkey and a very heavy
pudding.

If the class is large, you might want to put the


students in smaller groups for this activity. To avoid
students picking the same festival, you could prepare
the names of festivals on cards and give them to each
group. Students pick a card and make notes on that
festival.

Grammar Focus,

page 10

Go through the example sentences in the Grammar


focus with the class, emphasizing the fact that when
there is a specific time reference, students have to
use the Past Simple.
You could write an example on the board
highlighting the difference between the two tenses:
A Ive been to Venice twice.
B Really? Ive never been. Did you like it?
A Well, the first time I went I was only a child but I had a
fantastic time when I went last year.
You might take this opportunity to check that
students remember the past participles of irregular
verbs, and highlight that been in the Present Perfect
is pronounced /bn/ not /bin/.

Before students do this task, you might want to


drill each of the questions and check that
students know the meaning of raw. In larger
groups, you might want to allow students to write
more than one name for each of the sentences. To
make this activity more competitive, you could
set a time limit and see how many students found
a person for each of the sentences within the
time set.

5d For this part of the task, students can either


return to two students who answered
affirmatively to one of the experiences on the list
and ask her/him further questions about it, as in
the example box, Students Book, page 11. Or you
can put students directly into pairs. Have
students repeat the previous exercise to see
which of the activities their partners have done.
Go over the sample conversation in the example
box, Students Book, page 11 and then have
students practise similar conversations with their
partners. It will help if you get an example
exchange from two students before they begin
the pairwork.

Phonology, page 11

ANSWERS
We use contractions in positive and negative
statements and not in questions (and short answers).
You might want to drill these sentences and make

their partners. Students then listen to the text
and repeat the sentences.

Shakira could also be defined as a pop singer, and has
some songs with hip hop singers in them and Lady
Gagas music could also be considered dance. The
Black Eyed Peas could comfortably fit in all 3 categories).

2b Students get the opportunity to talk about all


aspects of music. If students are interested in the
subject, you could do a class survey to find out
who the most popular musicians in the class are or
students could prepare a presentation for homework
and then present their favourite musician to the

they like and if they like any film which they know
is British.
If you think the students might not know that the
films are British and you want to play a game with
the students, you could do the following:
- Write the letters of the names of Hugh Grant,
Gwyneth Paltrow, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt and
Renee Zellwegger in a mixed up order on the
board, e.g.: aujli trorbes (Julia Roberts).
- Give students a few moments to try to figure

- Elicit the actors names.
- Elicit the name of any film the students know
theyve been in.
- Do the quiz.

2 Would you like to try the jacket with a matching

If students find it difficult to understand the
difference, explain that in recording number 1, the
words jacket with a matching skirt are stressed
because the jacket only matches the skirt (but not
the dress). In recording number 2, there is a jacket
with a matching skirt and also a jacket with a
matching dress, so therefore, both skirt and dress
need to be stresssed.

4b Students discuss the questions in pairs. If you


have younger students in your class, they might
not be all that familiar with different forms of
money, so you could ask them to talk about what
they see their parents or people in shops use, or
put them into larger groups for this part of the
discussion. If you have older students, you might
want to extend this discussion to include
anecdotes on when people have had
technological problems paying for things (e.g.:
when I was on holiday last year, my credit card
wouldnt work / got stolen / was never accepted
etc.)

7 Go through instructions 1 and 2 with the class, then


start the activity off by telling them about the
rules and regulations in your schooldays. You
could exaggerate these for dramatic effect, e.g. I
had to start school at 7am. I had to do three hours
of homework every day. I had to go to school on
Saturdays. (With this, you will be using have to in
the Past Simple tense if you have young
students who are still at school, this can stay at a
receptive level, but if you have older students,
whose schooldays are over, you will need to
briefly go through this past tense form, as they
will need to use it themselves.) Tell students how
you would have liked things to have been
different in your schooldays.
Now put students into groups of three or four
and ask them to follow instructions 1 and 2. Give
them about fifteen minutes for this.
For stage 3, give each group a name and write it
on the board. Then get students to nominate one
person in the group to present their rules for the
perfect school to the class. Tell students to write
down the name of each group, leaving space
between each one, and to note what they like
and what they dont like about the rules that each
speaker mentions on behalf of their group.

do. Then go through questions 1-3 and the
example answers with the class. Give students a
few minutes to answer the questions in pairs,
then go through the rest of the signs with the
whole class, eliciting from them what is
prohibited and whether they think this is a good
idea or not.

6b Introduce the subject of rules and regulations in


everyday life, e.g. by talking about things they
have to do connected with school life (I have to do
homework every evening, I have to get to school on
time). Then give them a few minutes to make
their lists.

6c

Elicit from students how to form a question with


have to (see point 5 in Grammar focus, page 60),
write this up on the board and practise the
pronunciation together as a class. Go through the
example question and answer with the class, then
give them a few minutes to ask and answer
questions about their lists in b and how they feel
about the rules and regulations. When they have
finished, round the activity off in a whole class
activity by getting students to volunteer to ask
and answer some questions about their lists.

For the final stage, go through each of the group


names on the board, asking students to raise their
hands if they want to vote for that group they
can only vote once! Write on the board the
number of votes that each group gets, to see at
the end which group is the winner.

Hello! Im going to tell you about Christmas in Britain.


Ive always enjoyed spending Christmas at home with
my family.
We spend lots of time preparing for this festival. Its
probably the most important festival of the year for
British people. Before Christmas we send our friends
and family Christmas cards and most of us collect
these up and display them somewhere in the house.
We prepare the house by decorating the rooms with
paper decorations, candles etc.
Then we buy a Christmas tree either a real one or an
artificial one and, of course, we decorate the tree as
well with ornaments and lights.
But most important of all, we go shopping! We have
to buy presents for everyone in the family and for our
closest friends and we need to buy all the special
foods and drinks that we will have during the holiday.
As you can imagine, this is a very expensive time of
the year!
On Christmas Day itself the children of the family
usually get up early because they are so excited
about opening their presents. By mid-morning, when
all the adults are also out of bed, we all gather round
the tree and open the presents. This is the most
exciting part of the day!
I think everyone likes giving and getting presents.
How about you? Do you prefer to give presents or
receive them?

I come from Turin and Ive lived in Turin all my life.


Turin is a big modern city in the North of Italy with
a population of well, around 1 million people.
You know, like all large cities, Turin needs a
complicated public transport system. In Turin we
have buses, trams, taxis and erm of course, a lot
of private vehicles as well.
My father is a bus driver in Turin. He likes his job but, I
mean it is difficult because there is so much heavy
traffic in the centre of the city.
Turin has a modern electronic system of traffic
control. Since it was introduced journey times have
improved by erm about 20%.
I hope that one day Turin will also have an
underground railway. You know, Turin also has a good
ecological record. Well, trams, for example, run on
electricity and quite a number of other public service
vehicles also run on electricity. More and more buses
are using gas instead of petrol or diesel.
In a few years I will study town planning at University.
Then I will join my father in the Transport
Department as a manager I mean or planner. I
wont be a bus driver!

music, but, in fact, when I go out I prefer going to the

and comedies what about you?

fiction. To be honest though, I cant stand romantic
films!

and stay at home.

Examiner: So where exactly is your favourite place?


Beatriz: Its in the mountains near Madrid, in Spain,
about 50 km to the North-West of the city. Its the
village where my grandparents live and its called
Cercedilla.
Examiner: Sorry, I didnt catch that. Whats it called
again?
Beatriz: Cer-ce-di-lla its hard to say!
Examiner: Yes, I dont think Ill try! So, how often do
you go there?
Beatriz: Usually about one weekend a month, then at
Christmas and in the summer.
Examiner: And who do you go with?
Beatriz: Well, usually with my parents and my sister,
but sometimes I go on my own, or with a friend.
Examiner: And how do you get there?
Beatriz: If I go with my parents, then we go by car. It
takes about an hour from Madrid, if the traffics not
too bad. If I go without my parents then I go by train.
Theres a really good train service it takes just over
an hour to get there by train.
Examiner: So tell me what this place is like?
Beatriz: Well, its in the mountains, as I said, and its
quite small there are about 6,000 people living
there, I think, but more in the summer and at
weekends. People go there in summer especially to
get away from the heat in the city. In the winter, it
gets very cold there theres often snow, so people
go there then to see the snow and to go skiing
Theres a ski station higher up in the mountains not
far away about 8 kilometres, I think it is.
Examiner: And what do you like about this place? I
mean, why is it your favourite place?
Beatriz: Well, first of all, I think its a really beautiful
place. I like being able to see the mountains all
around me. And, for a small place, theres actually
quite a lot to do there there are cafs and
restaurants, and theres even a cinema! I also love
seeing my grandparents, so thats another reason
why I like going there.
Examiner: And what dont you like about it?
Beatriz: I actually like most things about Cercedilla,
but theres just one thing I dont like. In the autumn
and in the spring it can rain a lot. Sometimes, I go
there for the weekend and it just rains all the time
and I cant do anything.

46

Examiner: Yes, I can understand not liking the rain!


So, when are you next going there?
Beatriz: At the end of this month, I hope. And what
about you? Wheres your favourite place?

Examiner: Okay, now, lets move on to your portfolio


tasks. In Section 1, you chose number five, an email to
an English-speaking friend about music. Why did you
choose this question?
Rosa: Well, Im very interested in all kinds of music, so
I thought that I may really want to write to an
English-speaking friend about this one day. The other
ones on the list didnt seem so useful to me.
Examiner: I see, and in Section 2, youve written an
article about your ideal job as a travel writer. Is this
really the job that you want to do?
Rosa: Oh yes, Ive wanted to be travel writer for a
long time. I love travelling and writing, so I think its a
good idea to try and do both for my job.
Examiner: Okay, and in Section 3, why did you
choose to write a description of the perfect school for
the future?
Rosa: Well, mainly because Ive got strong opinions
about how Id like school to be. Ive finished school,
now Im going to start university soon but I think
there are a lot of things wrong with the school
system today and I want to change them.
Examiner: Yes, it was interesting reading your ideas.
Now, which task did you enjoy doing the most?
Rosa: Id say the description of the perfect school.
Examiner: Why?
Rosa: Because, as I said before, I feel really strongly
about this subject, so it was easy to know what to
write how to write it was the difficult part!
Examiner: Tell me, how many drafts did you do for

Trinity 5-6_TB_195x260_NI0072 04/03/11 09:54 Pagina 47

the tasks, before the final version?
Rosa: I did two drafts for each task. The texts in my
portfolio are the third draft of each one.
Examiner: Did anyone help you improve the first two
drafts?
Rosa: Yes, some other students in my class suggested
ways to improve the first draft, then my teacher gave
me advice about the second draft, using the special
Feedback form.
Examiner: So how long did it take you to do the
tasks?
Rosa: Its difficult to say exactly, but it was quite a
long time. We did work in class on preparing for the
tasks, then I wrote the drafts at home. Maybe about
five hours in total for each task Im not really sure.
Examiner: Okay, now, moving on to the general
conversation...
24

Okay, the results of todays quiz on health are coming


up next. Number one, if you want to be healthy, you
need to drink at least two litres of water per day, so
the answer is B. Thats a lot of water, isnt it? But it will
do you a lot of good. If you drink more water, youll
have less chance of getting heart disease and some
cancers. And youll have more energy every extra
half litre of water can give you 20% more energy.
Now, for question number two, if you think you need
to do an hour of exercise two or three times a week
to get fitter youre wrong! You dont need to do that
much just 20 minutes is enough, so the answers A.
And leave at least 24 hours between exercise
sessions.
Okay, moving on to question three, to have a healthy
diet, you need to eat a lot of fruit and vegetables. All
those vitamins and minerals are just what your body
needs. So, the answer is B thats five portions of fruit
and vegetables every day.
Are you having a coffee at the moment? Well, if you
are, stop! Because its already after midday! And if you
have caffeine in the afternoon, it may stop you
sleeping at night. So, for question four, the answer is
C. This was a surprise to me so no more espressos
after lunch.
Question number five has given me something to
think about. Im not a big fan of fish, but it looks like I
need to eat it a lot more than I do two or three times
a week more than I do, actually! because in some
fish, like salmon and sardines, there are some special
acids, called Omega three, that help keep our hearts
healthy. And in all fish there are lots of proteins and

vitamins and minerals that your body needs. So, the


experts say that we need to eat it two or three times
a week. The answer to question five, then, is C.
Did you think that all fat was bad for you? A lot of
people do, but the fat in things like extra virgin olive
oil is actually healthy. This kind of fat can stop you
getting lots of illnesses, like heart disease, some
cancers and even depression. The fat in margarine
and chips isnt good fat, though, so dont eat things
like that! For question six, then, the answer is B.
Now, for question seven, we dont need doctors to
tell us the answer to this, do we? If youre feeling
down or depressed about something, when you talk
about the problem to someone, you feel better,
right? So, yes, C is the right answer. A problem shared
really can be a problem halved.
And, finally, number eight. I was surprised about this
one, too. Did you know that about 4 million people
around the world die every year from smoking? And
by 2030, it will be 10 million! I thought that AIDS was
the biggest killer... So the answer to question eight is
A.
25

Number one, if you want to be healthy, you need to


drink at least two litres of water per day, so the
answer is B. Thats a lot of water, isnt it? But it will do
you a lot of good. If you drink more water. youll have
less chance of getting heart disease and some
cancers. And youll have more energy...
Are you having a coffee at the moment? Well, if you
are, stop! Because its already after midday! And if you
have caffeine in the afternoon, it may stop you
sleeping at night. So, for question four, the answer is
C...
If youre feeling down or depressed about something,
when you talk about the problem to someone, you
feel better, right? So, yes, C is the right answer...
26

1 It helps if you talk about problems.


2 If you dont have a good diet, you wont be healthy.
3 If you do some exercise, you may lose some
weight.
4 When you exercise, you need to warm up first.
5 Youll have less chance of getting heart disease if
you drink more water.
6 If you exercise twice a week, youll be fitter.
7 Itll be more fun if you exercise with someone.
8 If you want to stay healthy, eat lots of fruit.
