 ALLIN A DAY'S W O R K .
Who are your heroes? We aren't talking about superheroes like
Superman or Wonder Woman; we want to hear your opinions about
real people who make big differences to other people's lives while
they do their jobs. So, tell us about the people you think are heroes
because of the amazing things they do every day as part of their work.

Paramedics - the people who drive ambulances and help in medical emergencies -
are my everyday heroes. The other day, my grandad had a bad fall. I tried to help him,
but I couldn't do it by myself, so I called an ambulance. It arrived almost immediately
and the paramedics helped Grandad straightaway. They were very professional and
worked quickly, but they were also friendly and cheerful. By the time Grandad was in
the ambulance, he was relaxed and smiling again.
Every time paramedics go out, it's an emergency and often a serious situation.
Think how many people that team has helped already and how many lives it's saved!

My neighbour, Anna, is a firefighter and she does an incredible - and dangerous -

job. Firefighters don't just put out fires, they also help in all sorts of emergencies.
Anna's rescued people from rivers, helped people stuck in the snow and she
often has to go to traffic accidents. Firefighters have to be brave, smart and good
at working in a team. As well as saving lives, they teach people how to prevent
accidents. She says every day at work is different: even on quiet days, they have to
be ready for action. Firefighters often take risks in order to rescue people. I really
admire them forthat.

I live on the edge of a big city and until last year there was nothing for teenagers
to do. Kids hung out on the streets and some of them got into trouble. Then Jonas,
a youth worker, arrived and everything changed!
He's positive and easy-going, but he's also serious about his job. He wants to help us
discover our talents - 'Be curious!' he says. He's organised lots of new activities for
us, from songwriting to rock climbing! I can honestly say he's made an enormous
difference to our lives. We've got interesting things to do now and a cool place to
go in our free time. Jonas is our hero!

A description of a person I know well
INPUT Read the text that Poppy wrote about her friend Liam. Match the pictures with three of the paragraphs.

© I'm writing about my friend, Liam. I've known him for three years. We met when he moved to a
house in my street.
© He's a little older than me, but I always feel like he's much older! I think that's because he's very
confident. He isn't afraid to disagree with adults. For example, I've never said 'No, I don't agree'
to an adult, but Liam has! I admire him for that.
© Another good point is that he's very honest. If he doesn't like something, he says so. He never says
'Oh yes, it's great' just to be the same as everyone else. In fact, this is why some people at school
don't like him very much, I think.
© Does he have any bad points? Yes! He's forgetful. Last week, he promised to come to my house
and help me fix my bike. But he didn't come. I waited, then I phoned him. He's honest, so he said,
'Oh, no! I forgot. I'll come right now.' And he did. He arrived with a big smile, saying: 'I always
forget. Sorry.' How could I be angry?
© I hope we're going to be friends for a long time.

In Bl Preliminary for Schools Listening Part 1, you listen to seven short recordings. For each one, you have to answer
a question by choosing one of three pictures.
• Read the questions carefully.
• Look at the three pictures and find similarities and differences between them.
• Identify the situation in each picture and think about the words you might hear.
• You will probably hear words from all the pictures, so don't choose a picture just because it contains the first word
you recognise.
• Listen carefully to the dialogue and try to understand exactly what the speakers say about the things in the pictures.

Part 4: Gapped text
1 Five sentences have been removed from the text below. For each question, choose the correct answer.
There are three extra sentences which you do not need to use.

There are plenty of prizes for good students but now there is an award for the best teacher
in the w o rld . 1_______________It aims to celebrate the work of teachers and recognise
how important their work is. The organisers believe that good teachers can change the
lives of their students for the better.
The award started in 2015. It is open to all teachers in every country of the world. In its
first year, over 5,000 teachers from 127 countries took part. So far, the winners have come
from the US, Palestine, Canada, the UK and Kenya.2_______________ Every year the
winner receives one million dollars to spend on education in their community.
The 2019 winner was a teacher called Peter Tabichi. He teaches in a village school in
a semi-desert area of Kenya. His class, like all the classes in his school, has over 50
students in it. Most of his students are from very poor families and the school has hardly
got any classroom furniture and very little equipm ent.3_______________ Despite these
problems, this teacher started a ‘talent club’ to help his students. Some of them have
even taken part in international science competitions. He also gives extra help to students
with difficulties and regularly meets their fam ilies.4_______________ In only three years,
Tabichi’s class has grown from 200 to 400 students.
5_______________ In fact, the chosen teachers are always very proud of their success.
However, they know they are only there because of their students. For a small school in
a poor area, the prize money can make a huge difference to the school, its present and
future students, as well as the whole local community.

A It only has one computer and a very slow

internet connection. EXAM GUIDE: READING:
Tabichi was very excited to be chosen as the winner.

'Going to the cinema is a

A Everyone loves going to the cinema.

However, we can watch films at home on
television, online or on DVD. So, is going to the
cinema a waste of time?

A visit to the cinema can be expensive.

Tickets aren’t cheap and snacks cost a lot.
Streaming a film or buying a DVD is cheaper
and you can watch it as many times as you
like. Watching a film on a widescreen television
with digital audio, is nearly as good as being
in a cinema. Moreover, what’s more fun than
inviting your friends, making popcorn and
having a film night at home?

In 2013 a song called 'Royals' made a young singer called
A Lorde famous all over the world. Lorde's real name is Ella
Marija Lani Yelich-O'Connor and she grew up in New Zealand.
She has been working in the music business since she won a
talent show at the age of 12.

has an incredible feel for music and a unique talent for writing
lyrics. She says her love for words has been as important as her
love for music, and both have helped her to become a star.

Lorde is still very young. She became a star when she

was 17, and has had a number of successful songs since
then. Tennis Court came out in the UK just after the Wimbledon
Tennis Championship in 2013. She released her second album,
Melodrama, in 2017 and started a world concert tour.

EVER Anouk, Amsterdam

Not in the near future. There are a number of real
problems that stop this from happening - the big
one is that people need oxygen to stay alive and the
moon has very little of it. And what’s more, there’s
no animal or plant life on the moon, so what will we

Will we ever be able to travel
through time? Steve, Cambridge
Well, people have been curious about the idea of time
travel for a long time. But that doesn’t mean it’ll ever
be possible. I’d love to be able to go into the past or
the future! But I’m sure we’ll never be able to. So my
answer to this is no, no chance! (Sorry!]

G There will never be cities under the

sea, will there? Anthea, Berlin
You’ll be surprised to know that a lot of people are
working on this. But, as you can imagine, there
are lots of difficult issues. One is that people need
sunlight, and there isn’t much sunlight 100 metres
under the sea! And another is pressure - how can we
build walls that are thick enough to keep the water
out? And where will the energy we need to power
things come from? Personally, I don’t think we’ll see
underwater cities in my lifetime. And to be honest,

 CITIZEN SGIENGE
Are you curious about the world and about science? You could become a Citizen Scientist and get involved! Citizen
Science is scientific research done by ordinary people. You would join a global community that’s making an important
contribution to scientific discovery. Scientists depend on huge amounts of data for their research, so most CS projects
involve collecting information. If Citizen Scientists didn’t help, it would take scientists much longer to make
discoveries. CS projects cover everything from insects to stars, so you are sure to find something you’re interested
in. °lf you’re worried about today’s environmental problems, it’s a way of doing something positive to help.
Think you might be interested? Then read what some Citizen Scientists are saying!

EDWARD
I always choose short CS projects so that I can find out about different things. 1At the moment,
I’m counting butterflies, but last year, I was counting birds. I had to go to the same place
every day for three days, watch for ten minutes and count the number of birds I saw. Then
I identified the birds on a special app and entered the numbers I had seen. Bird and butterfly
numbers are important because they help scientists understand the health of the environment.
Why do I do CS? I love science and I’m especially interested in nature - 1wish I could be a
wildlife photographer!

TAM SIN
Last winter, I was collecting information for the Dark Sky project. It’s all about observing the
increase in light pollution because it has a negative effect on wildlife and the ecosystem.
I chose a group of stars on the app and I used to go outside to look at them every evening
unless it was cloudy or raining. I had to match them to one of seven maps and enter the time
and weather conditions. 2l’d do another project if I wasn’t so busy with schoolwork. I hope I’ll
be a real scientist one day - maybe an astronomer.

FRANCESCA
3When I started the Weather Watch project, they sent me a special plastic tube to collect
rainwater. Every morning, I used to write down the amount of rain from the previous 24 hours.
When it hadn’t rained, I entered 0. Scientists compare this year’s rainfall with past years to
see how our weather is changing. I chose this project because climate change worries me
and it’s my way of helping. I also love the idea of taking part in an experiment with thousands
of people round the world. Are you interested in science? If I was you, I’d join a CS project -
you’d learn something new and you’d help scientific progress!

A The History of Transport O B Cars of the Future O C Car Revolution O

For thousands of years, people used animals such

as horses to get from one place to another. Then, at
the beginning of the 20th century, the invention of
cars changed the way we moved around forever. It
took only a few years for people to make the move
from animals to cars, so the move from petrol cars
to driverless electric cars will be even faster. The
next transport revolution has already started!
Traffic creates huge environmental problems,
so cities and towns around the world are looking
for solutions. Scientists have invented driverless
cars that run on electricity instead of petrol or
diesel. Computer scientists have developed software for
x transport apps such as lift- and bike-sharing. If we put
w these inventions together, we could free our cities
w
v from traffic.
mIf there was more progress in transport
Btechnology, we wouldn’t need to own
cars anymore. Instead we’d call a
driverless car when we needed it.
It would take us where we wanted to
go and we’d get another one to go
home. Driverless electric cars can work
24 hours a day, so we also wouldn’t Q WRITING TIP:

I once had a job interview with a law firm. More than 300 people applied REBECCA
for the job and only ten of us were invited for an interview. The interview was
exhausting because I was asked lots of really difficult questions.
However, I was pleased with my answers and I was pretty sure that the
interview was going well. I was right. At the end, the interviewer offered me
the job and stood up to shake my hand. I stood up, too, but my leg was dead
from sitting down for so long. As soon as I stood up, I fell down backwards.
Unfortunately, I was shaking the interviewer’s hand and I forgot to let go.
As I fell, I pulled him down with me onto the floor. It was very embarrassing.
Amazingly, I still got the job.

Describing a process
1 INPUT Read the article quickly. Match texts A and B with the photos.

Print or Digital: fa how is a book made?

You’ve written the next bestselling book, so now what?
How do you get it published? This week, we look at two
different publishing processes ...

Text A
First, the content is written by an author. The author contacts a
publisher, directly or through a literary agent.
If the publisher wants to print the book, they ask the author to sign a
contract. Then a team of editors edit the content. At the same time,
the cover is designed.
When the book is ready to be printed, it is sent to a printing company
(or ‘printer’). Hundreds or thousands of copies are printed on paper,
and the books are stored in a big building.
Finally, the book is sent out to bookshops and people can buy it.

Text B
First, the book is written by the author, who uses a special online
programme which puts the content into an electronic format.
It is then edited by someone the author contacts to do this. The author
designs, or asks an artist to design, the digital front cover.
The author chooses where to publish it online and uploads it after
signing a contract. At the same time, the digital front cover is uploaded.
Finally, the book is sold online and can be bought and downloaded by
people to read on their e-readers, tablets or mobile phones.

ls it ever acceptable to break rules and laws in society? What if doing so means
O helping people who are in need? Should people get into trouble for trying to deal
with one of the world’s biggest problems? One in nine people doesn’t have enough to
eat, but can you believe that approximately one third of all food produced around the
world is wasted and that almost 50 percent of the fruit and vegetables we grow are
destroyed? There are lots of reasons why food is wasted and one of the main ones is
that supermarkets and shops remove food from sale a few days before its sell-by date.

A lot of food that is thrown out like this is perfectly safe to eat and there have
© been many cases of workers taking it from the bins and giving it away to people
in need. According to the law, this is stealing and these workers have got into trouble.
They didn’t believe they had done anything wrong. Quite the opposite, they thought
they were being kind. After all, if the supermarkets and shop owners had wanted the
food, they wouldn’t have thrown it away. But is it a crime? Food waste activists don’t
believe so. They believe that wasting food is the real crime and they regularly take
food from bins outside shops and restaurants as a protest. In this way, they want to
bring the problem to the attention of the public and lawmakers. However, until recently,
many activists risked fines and punishment because they were breaking the law.

lt is still illegal to take food from bins in some countries, but a lot of countries are
O now changing their laws. France was one of the first countries to introduce a law
against food waste: shops and restaurants are not allowed to throw extra food away.
Instead, they have to give it to charities. In Norway and Australia, the government is
trying to cut food waste in half. And in South Korea people now have to pay money if
they want to throw food away.

A success story in the fight against food waste in the UK is the FoodCycle
O initiative. At FoodCycle, volunteers cook tasty meals with extra food from shops
and supermarkets. Volunteers and guests come together to enjoy a healthy meal and
a chat. Guests include lonely or elderly people, poor families, and people without jobs
or homes. At FoodCycle’s 38 centres round the UK, they have now served more than
one million meals! That’s 425 tonnes of extra food that would have gone to waste if they
hadn’t used it! This is a great initiative, but it is still more expensive for supermarkets
to donate their extra food than to throw it away. Many people believe the laws should
change to fix this problem.

I The main purpose of the Arcade Shopping Centre is for teenagers
to have a good time. Nobody is allowed to do anything that young
people wouldn’t like.
2 If a teen is tired or hungry, they’re allowed to go to a cafe and they can eat and drink whatever they
want without paying. If no seats are free, an adult has to stand up so a young person can sit down.
Nobody is allowed to tell teens not to run around or use their skateboards or scooters in the shopping
centre. As soon as a skateboarder appears, all the adults must go quickly into the shops and stay there
until the skateboarder has left.
4 In clothes shops, the shop assistants must let teens try on all the clothes they like. If they don’t like the
clothes they see in the shop window, the shop assistants have to remove them immediately.
5 In music and games shops, teens are allowed to play with all the games and listen to all the music they
want, for as long as they like.

EXAM GUIDE: READING PART 6

In Bl Preliminary for Schools Part 6, you have to read a short text and complete the six gaps. You have to think of
the words yourself. This is testing grammar knowledge, so the missing words are often auxiliary verbs, prepositions,
articles, determiners, common fixed phrases and possessives.
• Read the text to get a general idea of what it's about.
• Read the sentence with the first gap.
• Look carefully at the words before and after the gap as these give you clues about the word you need.
• If you can't think of a word immediately, try to understand the type of word you need, for example verb,
article, preposition.
• Try out various possibilities until you find one that sounds best.
• Re-read the text with the new words to check your answers.

2 With short adjectives, we normally add -er. 5 With longer adverbs, we use more (+ adverb) + than.
With longer adjectives (more than two syllables), She does things more easily than me.
we normally don't change the adjective - we put
more in front of it. 6 To com pare the adverb well, we use better... than.
hot + hotter short -> shorter clever + cleverer To compare the adverbfor, we usefurther... than.
interesting more interesting exciting -> more exciting He cooks better than me.

Adverbs and comparative adverbs
2 These words are all singular.
1 We use adverbs to describe verbs — they say how
Something smells nice. No one's here. Nothing was found.
an action is or was performed.
Everywhere was full. Someone has opened my desk.
She shouted angrily. Run quickly!
They got to the theatre early. 3 We don't use negatives with nothing and no one.
We use anything or anyone instead.
We can also use adverbs before adjectives.
/ don't know anyone here.
It was really cold on Sunday.
(N O T / don’t know no one here.)
The coffee was incredibly hot, so I couldn't drink it.

2 Most adverbs are formed by adjective + -ly. all (some I none / any) of them
slow + slowly nice nicely
With other nouns and pronouns, we use all o f/ some o f/
none of+ plural or uncountable noun/pronoun.
If the adjective ends in de, we drop the -e and add -y.
A ll o f them are yours. Some o f the teachers are really nice.
incredible + incredibly possible possibly None o f my friends called me yesterday.
If the adjective ends in consonant + -y, we change Do any o f you know the answer?

2 Sentences with the present perfect always connect
the present and the past. We often use the present First conditional / unless in first
perfect continuous to talk about activities which conditional sentences
started in the past and are still continuing now.
1 We use the first conditional to talk about possible

(= We started studying six months ago, and we are still
studying but we're not studying a t this exact moment.) 4 There are two clauses in these sentences. We can
put the main clause first, or the if/unless clause
first. When the if/unless clause comes first, there is
a comma (,) after it.
Unless you tell me, I won't know what to do.
I won't know what to do unless you tell me.
