We’ve all got a lot of old stuff: clothes and shoes we don’t wear, toys
and games we don’t play with and books we don’t read. We all want to
buy new things, too. So what do we do with our old things? We want
to hear from you. Do you throw your old things in the bin or do you
recycle them? Let us know!

Kari, Sweden
Hi! I give my old things to second-hand shops, where people can buy them
and reuse them. Today, I’m at the world’s first recycling shopping mall in
Sweden! There are clothes, books and sports shops, but they ONLY sell
second-hand things. The shops look nice and modern, and they’re always
busy. Right now, I’m taking a box of old things to one of the shops in the
mall and then I want to buy some things for my room - all second-hand,

Jay, New Zealand

Hello there! It’s my school holidays now and I’m helping at a repair centre
for technology that people don’t use anymore. People bring their old phones
and computers to the centre. We clean and fix them and then we give them
to schools, libraries and hospitals. I enjoy working on these machines, and
I’m helping other people, too. It’s a great way to give old stuff a new life.
Q 8 Q 11 £ 15

Rosalie, Canada
Do you know about Freecycle? When you have something you don’t want
anymore, for example, a skateboard, you post a photo of it on the Freecycle
website. People go on the website and look at the things. If they want your
skateboard, they contact you and you give it to them. It sounds easy and it
is! My family uses Freecycle a lot. My brother and I are helping our mum add
some photos of our old toys to the website at the moment. That way other
children can have fun with them. Freecycle helps people save money and it
helps the planet because your old things don’t go into the rubbish bin!

LISTENING PART 1
In A2 Key for Schools Listening Part 1, you hear
five short conversations and then have to choose
the correct picture to answer a question.
• Before you listen, look at the pictures and think
about the words you will probably hear. These
are the words you need to listen for.
• When there are numbers or times in the pictures,
practise saying them to yourself in your head 5 What is Luke's favourite sport?
before you listen.
• Don't choose the first picture you hear. Often,
you will hear the words in all three pictures. You
need to listen carefully to choose the right one.
• Don't worry if you don't get the answer
the first time you listen. You will hear each
conversation twice.
• If you get the answer on the first listening, use
the second time to check it.

What food do people eat on national
days and festivals in your country?
CELEBRATING
Let us know in the comments below.

CHILE EN NOGADA
Hi, I ’m Alejandra and I’m from Mexico.
On 16 September, we celebrate Independence Day with a
special dish called chile en nogada. We eat it on this day
because this dish has the same colours as the Mexican flag:
green, white and red! The main ingredient is a large green
chilli pepper with meat, vegetables, fruit and spices inside
it. There’s a white sauce over the pepper and some red fruit
seeds on top. Everyone loves this dish, so we make enough
for all the family and that takes a long time!

£ MOONCAKES
Hello! I ’m Li-Na from China.
We have a festival for the first full moon of autumn and
some people call it the Mooncake Festival! Mooncakes are
round like the moon and they look beautiful. Inside there
is a sweet cream which is often made from red beans.
Yes, beans in a dessert! And it tastes really good. Families
get together on this special day. At night, we go outside
to look at the moon, eat mooncakes and drink tea - lots
of tea. How many cakes do we eat? Too many - because
they are so delicious!

HAGGIS
Hi there! I’m Duncan from Scotland.
We always eat haggis on 25 January, Burns’ Night, to
celebrate the birthday of a Scottish poet, Robert Burns.
Haggis is simple food made with cheap ingredients:
sheep meat, vegetables and cereals - boiled in a sheep’s
stomach! I know, it sounds disgusting - but it’s really tasty!
On Burns’ Night, the haggis is at the centre of the
celebrations. We stand and listen to Scottish music when
my mum puts it on the table. My dad reads a famous
Robert Burns’ poem about a haggis, then we sit down and
enjoy a good dinner.

EXAM GUIDE: READING AND WRITING PART 2

In A2 Key for Schools Reading and Writing Part 2, there are three short texts on the same topic and seven questions.
Each question is about one of the texts and you have to choose the correct text, A, B or C.
• Read the title. This can help you understand the texts.
• Then read the three texts quickly for general comprehension.
• Read the first question and look for this information in the three texts.
• Circle the letter that corresponds to the text.
• You don't usually find the same words in the question and the texts, so look for words and phrases with
similar meanings.
• Sometimes the questions summarise part of the text.

 BIG HOUSES,
Some of us live in big houses, some of us live in small houses.
Some of us live in apartments in very tall buildings, some of us
live in bungalows next to the sea. But most of us live in houses
that look like ... w e ll... houses. But not everyone. Some people
like things that are a bit different, and that includes their homes.
For example, there's a house that looks like a strawberry in
Japan, another one that looks like a mushroom in Ohio, US,
and there's a toilet-shaped house in South Korea. There's even a
house in Poland that is completely upside down!
Maybe you know the children's poem about the old lady who
lived in a shoe. In Pennsylvania, US, there is a real shoe house.
O f course, it's not really a shoe, just a house in the shape of
a shoe. A local shoe manufacturer called Mahlon N. Haines
had the idea of building it. He used it as a guesthouse. When
he died it became an ice cream shop for a while. These days,
it's a museum.
The One Log House in Garberville, California, US, is a one-
bedroom house inside the trunk of a 2,000-year-old giant
redwood tree. It took two people seven months to remove all
the inside of the tree and make a living space that is just over
two metres high and nearly 10 metres long.
Joanne Ussary from Benoit, Mississippi, in the US, lives in a
plane. It's a Boeing 7 27 without the wings. The plane cost
$2,000 and it cost another $4,000 to move it on to her land.
She spent another $24,000 making it into a home.
It's not the only 'flying' home in the US. In Chattanooga,
Tennessee, there is a house in the shape of a spaceship: a
round white disc with four legs.
And believe it or not, there is a walking house in Denmark.
It's a hexagonal tube supported by six metal legs. It can move
over most surfaces. It is a collaboration between Danish artists
and scientists. Moving home couldn't be any easier. When you
want to live somewhere new, just push a button and walk your
house to a new location.

 This year a new documentary series appeared
on British TV called Young at Heart.

The programme matched teenagers with senior citizens and asked them to
meet twice a week for two months. They filmed what happened when the pairs
spent time together. Two of these people were Amelia Ross and Mary Edwards.
Mary is a 76-year-old retired nurse who lives alone. She has some good friends, but
they live in different cities and she doesn’t see them often. She likes meeting new
people and keeping fit, so she goes to salsa dancing classes twice a week. Amelia is
a 14-year-old student. She loves music and wants to be a singer. In her free time,
she likes chatting with her friends on her phone and watching videos online.
She doesn’t like sports.
Before Mary met Amelia, she didn’t like teenagers very much. In her opinion,
they spent too much time on their phones. Amelia thought that old
people were boring and strict.
When they met for the documentary, Mary was surprised that
Amelia didn’t do any exercise, so she invited her to a salsa class.
Amelia didn’t really want to go, but she had a great time. Mary
is really outgoing and they laughed a lot together. Later Amelia
found out that Mary had a mobile phone but didn’t know how
to use it. It was still in the box! Amelia showed her how to
send messages to her friends and to listen to music online.
Mary didn’t like the same songs as Amelia, but she
enjoyed discovering new music styles. In one episode
of the series, she asked Amelia to sing for her. Amelia
was a bit shy, but she agreed. Mary loved her voice
and said she should enter the school talent show.
Amelia was nervous but she followed this advice.
It was a good idea because she won first prize!
By the end of the series, Amelia and Mary were good
friends. Amelia still goes to the salsa classes and Mary
is an expert with her tablet now. They say they plan to
keep in touch in the future.

BAD DECISIONS
PSYCHOLOGISTS at Temple University in Philadelphia,
US did an interesting experiment. They asked teenagers to
play a video game that involved car driving. They could
win prizes for driving fast. But the faster they drove, the
bigger their risk was of losing the prize money. For half
the time, the teenagers played the game on their own,
and for the other half the psychologists told them that
their friends were in the room next door, watching them.
The results were fascinating: when the teens played the
game on their own, they made much better decisions.
When they thought their friends were watching, their
driving was much more dangerous. They drove faster,
had more accidents and often didn't stop at red lights.
Psychologists say that teens should think carefully
before making important decisions when their friends
are present!

 Professor Joshua Silver is a physicist at the University of
Oxford. He also can't see very well! Joshua doesn't like
buying new glasses when his eyes get worse. He had an
idea to make glasses where you can change the strength
of the lens. The glasses have liquid inside the plastic. To
make the glasses stronger, you turn a wheel on each lens
and this adds more liquid. If the glasses are too strong,
you turn the wheel the other way, taking away some of
the liquid. The liquid changes the shape of the lens. It's an
incredibly useful invention, and it is also very cheap to
make each pair of glasses.
Glasses that anyone can use, and that last forever, have
the power to change people's lives. Joshua Silver is
working to provide 1 billion pairs of his glasses to people
around the world. This means that children can read their
lessons at school and adults can continue to work and
support their families.
Kenneth Shinozuka from New York City, US, lives with
his parents and grandparents. Kenneth's grandfather has
Alzheimer's, a disease that is common in old people.
People with this illness often forget things and sometimes
get lost. Kenneth's grandfather kept getting out of bed
at night and walking around. One night, he left the house
and his family were very worried because they didn't
know where he was.
Kenneth wanted to do something to help his grandpa.
What was his idea? A brilliant invention called
SafeWander. Small discs go on the bottom of a normal
pair of socks. When the person steps on the floor,
the discs send a message to a smartphone and the
phone rings an alarm. Kenneth tested the socks on his
grandfather and they worked! Now his family don't have
to watch Grandpa all night. He wears the socks and they
know when he gets out of bed. Kenneth was only 15
when he made SafeWander and he won prizes for his
invention. Now his 'smart socks' are helping other people
like his grandfather to stay safe.

Telephone Company. It became very successful.
He became a businessman and earned a lot of

But Alexander Graham Bell wasn’t only

thinking of new ideas. He used his money to
open laboratories with teams of engineers who
could help him make his dreams come true.
Bell was also fascinated with propellers and kites
and did lots of experiments with them. In 1907,
four years after the Wright Brothers made their
first flight, Bell formed the Aerial Experiment
Association with four young engineers. Their plan
was to build planes. The group was successful.
Their plane named Silver Dart made the first

In A2 Key for Schools Reading and Writing Part 1, there are six short texts and you choose the option with the correct
meaning. The texts are usually notices, signs, emails or text messages. There are three options and you choose one.
• Look at the context: Is it a message? A notice? Where would you see it?
• You won't always find the same words in the texts and sentences. Look for words and phrases with similar meanings.
• Often the sentences summarise the whole text but say it in a different way.
• Be careful when there are negative verbs.
• When you finish, read through your answers again to check they are right.

 People w h o c h a n g e d s p o r t;

ike many American teenagers, Dick Fosbury wanted to be a professional

L sportsman, but he had a problem - he wasn’t very good at any sport.
He didn’t play football well, and although he was tall, he wasn’t a very good
basketball player either. When he tried athletics, his results still weren’t
great, but he found that he had some talent for the high jump.
At that time, there were two popular styles of jumping over the bar.
There was the scissors, where the athlete lifted one leg first and
then the other over the bar, and there was the straddle, where the
athlete went over the bar in a lying position, face down. Fosbury
used the straddle. The best height he could jump was 1.63 m.
It wasn’t bad, but it was a long way from the Olympic record
of 2.23 m.
One afternoon, Fosbury decided to do something completely
different. He took off backwards and jumped over the bar on his
back, face up. The results were amazing. That day he improved his
personal best by 15 cm. In the following years, he spent all his time
practising, getting better and better. He was starting to win competitions,
but most people were confused by his strange style. A year before the
1968 Olympics, he was the number 61 jumper in the world, and he was
lucky to get into the US Olympic team.
When he arrived in Mexico, not many people knew his name. On the day
of the high jump final, he walked on to the field with all the other jumpers.
As the competition started, the 80,000 people in the crowd began to
notice that one of the jumpers had a very strange style. At first they
thought it was funny and laughed each time Fosbury jumped over
the bar. After nearly four hours there were only three jumpers
left. The crowd weren’t laughing at Fosbury any more - they
were cheering him on. The bar was at 2.24 m - a new Olympic
record. The other two jumpers knocked it off but Fosbury flew
over. The gold medal was his.
Dick Fosbury was now famous all over the world and his
Fosbury flop changed forever the way that high jumpers jumped.

So, what do you know about the Arctic and Antarctica?
Most people know that they are very cold and icy, but not
many people know about the differences between them.
The Arctic is in the north and the Antarctic is in the south.
There are around 4 million people who live in the Arctic,
but no one lives in Antarctica all the time.There's more
than just snow and ice to see in both places. There are
beautiful wild landscapes and some very special animals.
However, polar bears and penguins don’t live in the same
place - so forget what you see in cartoons! In the sea
around both places you can see seals, whales and fish.
And what about the weather? It's certainly freezing cold, but here's a surprise: a few
parts of the Arctic and most of Antarctica get almost no rain or snow, so they are
among the driest places on Earth. Antarctica is actually the world's largest desert!

Hey Monika,
So, you're going to South Korea? Lucky you!
I went to South Korea two years ago with
my family. It's a great place and I enjoyed it
a lot. The food, the people, the places - so
different from my country!
Anyway, I'm writing to give you some ideas.
People usually arrive in Seoul and stay there
for a few days. So when you're in Seoul,
don't miss the Gyeongbokgung Palace! It's
just fabulous. Here's a photo I took. You have
to go there!
I know you like beaches and swimming so
make sure you go to Jeju Island. It's in the
south and you can swim, go diving and see
lots of wonderful fish. It's very beautiful there.
Also, don't forget to listen to the music! K-pop's the best!

• Some of the gaps test vocabulary, so you have to choose the word with the right meaning. Re-read the sentence
before and after the gap to help you decide.
• Other gaps are about grammar, so re-read the sentence with the gap and try each of the options to see which
sounds best.
• Always choose one of the words. Never leave a blank space.

In A2 Key for Schools Reading and Writing Part 5, you have to complete a short email or message. There is an
example at the beginning and then you have to write ONE word in each of the six gaps.
• This exercise focuses on grammar, so you need to think about verbs, questions, negatives, prepositions, articles
and pronouns.
• Always look at the words immediately before and after the gaps because they can help you find the right word.
• Try a word in the gap, then read the sentence again to see if it sounds right.
Contracted verb forms are not tested in this part of the exam.

Yesterday, I read a great article about mind control. Scientists
are now making a wheelchair you can control with your
mind. When you think about where you want to go, the
chair moves in the right direction. It means that users will
be more independent. At the moment, the wheelchair
can follow simple instructions like: stop or go right. It also
has technology to stop it from hitting walls and furniture.
Scientists are still working on it, so when it’s ready, it will
probably be able to do more.

Part 3: 3-option multiple choice
1 For these questions, choose the correct answer.

This week we’re interviewing Leila Moreton, a travel journalist.

She tells us about her job ...

I’ve got the best job ever. I’m a journalist and I write about activity holidays for
teenagers. I travel to new places to experience different holidays. Then, I write
articles for travel magazines and websites.
Tell us about som e of your experiences, Leila.
I’ve been sailing in Greece and I’ve been kayaking in Canada - not on holiday,
but as research for my job! It isn’t only about adventure - I’ve also learnt to make
a video, how to cook and do circus skills! There are holidays for every interest.
How did you find your dream job?
Well, I’ve always loved writing. English was my best subject at school and I wrote
for our school website. I also love travelling. When I was a child, we lived in South
Africa for a few years because of my parents’ jobs. It was a great
opportunity to explore new places. When I finished school, I worked
for a travel company and that’s when I got interested in teen activity
holidays. My job is perfect because I do my two favourite things:
writing and travelling. I don’t need holidays! In fact, I usually stay at
home for my holidays because travel is work for me.
Have you enjoyed everything you’ve done?
Not everything! My job’s fun, but I’ve discovered that I don’t like riding horses or
camels, and I’m frightened of flying in small planes and helicopters!
