Legends
A long time ago, so the story goes, a young boy called Arthur became the King of England after he pulled a sword out of a stone.
The sword was Excalibur. It had a lot of power. The Lady of the Lake gave it to King Uther but asked him to give her his first born child. Uther became powerful. When his first child was born, Merlin the magician came to take the baby. Uther tried to stop him but thieves attacked him. Before he died, he put Excalibur into a stone and asked Merlin to make his son a king. Merlin promised that only someone with a pure heart could pull it out and become the next King of England. When Arthur pulled the sword out people were surprised. Merlin explained that Arthur was Uthers son and the people were happy. Arthur was a good king. He built a big castle, Camelot, and ruled over England with his knights. He called them the Knights of the Round Table. Together they made England a strong country.

he morning of 26th December was warm and sunny on Phi Phi Don Island in Thailand. The sunshine was a welcome change from the wet, rainy weather in London. After breakfast we went to the beach. My parents decided to sunbathe and I ran straight into the crystal clear water. Nothing could prepare me for what was about to happen. 5 Suddenly, I heard a loud roar. The water under my feet disappeared. I heard people screaming and pointing at the sea. Whats going on? I wondered as I turned to see a massive wave coming towards me. Mark, run! I heard my mum shout before the huge wave swallowed me. I was under the water. I tried to breathe and reach the surface but the force of the 10 water just pushed me down. Then, out of nowhere a hand grabbed me and pulled me up. I gasped for air and looked around. I was in a palm tree with a Thai man. I could see people in the distance running in panic. I felt like crying but I was too shocked to even do that. The only thing I could do was to sit and watch, unable to move. The 15 hours passed slowly. Suddenly, the Thai man started shouting and pointing to a helicopter. The pilot saw us and came to rescue us. Half an hour later we were safe in the hills. There were a lot of people there. I felt lonely and lost. Mark, youre safe, I heard my mums voice say. I dont remember feeling more relieved in my life than at that moment. Two days later we left the island. We felt lucky to be alive but we were sorry for the locals that lost their homes. It was a terrible experience.

You probably cant imagine being caught up in the middle of a tornado, a hurricane or a flood, but dont be so sure that it could never happen to you! We spoke to John about his experience ... Are you afraid of water? Well, John is! He had terrible nightmares about drowning. In the nightmares there was always heavy rain, he said, and then water swept me away. I desperately shouted for help but no one ever came. I woke up very scared, but happy that it was just a bad dream. Last year, while John was on holiday in Cornwall, his horrible dreams came true! One morning, he decided to go for a cup of tea in the village. On his way, he went into a little shop to buy some postcards. As he entered the shop, it started to rain heavily. Nice weather for ducks, said the lady in the shop. I hope the river doesnt burst its banks again like last year, she added. John opened the door to leave the shop but as soon as he stepped out, water swept him off his feet and washed him down the road. Oh no! The river! he thought, terrified. Then suddenly, he hit a lamppost. He quickly grabbed it and pulled himself out of the water. He was wet and cold but very relieved 7 volcanic eruption to be alive!

erhaps the best way to spend a cold, winter night in Ireland is to enjoy the company of a seanchai, a storyteller. Ireland has great stories to tell. yths and legends are stories about giants, warriors and kings. They are tales of heroes who overcome1 great obstacles, fight with magical beasts and have incredible2 adventures.

Did someone fall in the water? Not someone, but something. There was a long orange snake with black stripes swimming around in it. Oh dear! Was anyone hurt? No. The guards caught it quickly and put it back in its cage. Imagine that! You dont see that every day, do you? No, you certainly dont.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) was a popular Irish poet, novelist and

dramatist. His most famous works include The Picture of Dorian Gray and The Importance of Being Earnest, as well as some excellent short stories like The Canterville Ghost. This story is about an American ambassador and his family who buy a haunted house .

At eleven oclock the family went to bed, and by halfpast all the lights were out. Some time after, Mr Otis woke up because of a noise outside his room. It sounded like the clank of metal. He got up at once, struck a match and looked at the time. It was exactly one oclock. Mr Otis was quite calm. The strange noise continued, and with it he heard the sound of footsteps. He put on his slippers, took a small bottle out of his dressing case and opened the door. Right in front of him he saw an old man. He looked terrible. His eyes were red. His hair was long and grey. His clothes were old-fashioned and dirty, and there were handcuffs and rusty chains on his wrists and ankles. My dear sir, said Mr Otis, those chains need oiling. Here take this small bottle of lubricant. I will leave it here for you and I will give you more if you need it. With these words the ambassador put the bottle down on a marble table, and went back to bed, closing the door behind him.

Do gestures suggest the same feelings all around the world? Listen and read to find out. Label the pictures with phrases from the text.
Are you going on holiday abroad this year? Are you thinking about learning a few phrases to get by? Well, you should learn a little about gestures too, because what you say with your head and hands at home can mean something completely different in another country. Imagine this:
Youre hugging your friend in the street in Tokyo when you see a Japanese person smiling and you smile back. Did you know that the Japanese may smile when they are angry or confused and that kissing or hugging in public is unacceptable in Japan? You are in China and your friend is introducing you to her father. He stands opposite you, holding his right hand in a fist against his left palm and nodding slightly. You feel nervous. Have you done something wrong? A clenched fist almost always suggests anger. Well, in China this gesture is a polite way to greet someone.
You are in Thailand. Youre sitting on a bus with the soles of your shoes showing. Whoops! Be careful. This is insulting. Youre invited to a family meal in Greece. Youre deep in conversation with your friend and you nod your head to show you agree, as all English people do. However, he looks confused and a little surprised. Thats because in Greece people nod their head to say no while the English shake their head to say exactly the same thing! The world of gestures can be very confusing. A harmless gesture in one country can be a terrible insult in another. So when you are abroad, be very aware of what you are saying with your body!

We use the present simple for habits/routines. He walks to work. for timetables. The train arrives at 7:00 pm. We use the present continuous for actions happening now or around the time of speaking. They are watching TV now. for fixed future arrangements. Were having a party this Sunday. for annoying actions. Hes always biting his nails. Some verbs do not have continuous tenses because they describe a state not an action (like, hate, believe, etc). He likes tennis. Some verbs can have continuous tenses but with a difference in meaning. I think hes lying. (= believe) Im thinking of going out.(= considering)

Its that time of year again and youre back at school. The new girl in your class seems very interesting and you would like to get to know her better. Unfortunately, what usually happens whenever the opportunity to talk to someone comes up, is that you cant think of anything to say. Your palms sweat, you blush, and you look away. Whether you are starting a new school, going to a party where you dont know anyone or want to approach a person you fancy, you often need to break the ice in order to start a friendly conversation. Breaking the ice means saying or doing something to stop feeling shy or uncomfortable around someone you dont know very well. The reason you feel this way is that you dont know how the other person will react. Dont let it get you down, though. You shouldnt worry. Almost everyone feels uncomfortable when they meet someone for the first time. If you feel this way, the following tips can help you out. Smile: When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. They are also very likely to smile back and help you feel more comfortable about starting a conversation. Be positive: Everybody likes being around happy people. Try to always look on the bright side of life and to see something positive even in negative situations. People will enjoy your positive energy and benefit from it. Also, be confident. If you like yourself, others will probably like you too. Be a good listener: Develop listening skills. Dont take over the conversation and dont just talk about yourself. Ask other people questions about themselves too. This way theyll know youre interested in them. Be sociable: Dont avoid being around new people just because you feel uncomfortable. If you face a situation again and again, youll get used to it. Its not easy, but its worth it. After all, the other person may want to talk to you as well but may be too shy to break the ice!
1 Breaking the ice means saying or doing something to start feeling relaxed with a new person. ..... 2 People feel uncomfortable when meeting someone new because they cannot predict their reactions. ..... 3 When you meet someone for the first time, its better to look serious. ..... 4 Confident people have positive feelings. ..... 5 When you start a conversation, talk a lot about yourself. ..... 6 If you feel uncomfortable meeting new people, you should avoid it. .....

Socialising in the UK
Read the title of the text and the headings under the pictures. What do you think people in the UK do in these situations? Listen and read to find out. Its terrible
weather, isnt it?
The British are famous for their language, sense of humour and, of course, politeness. So, when you are in the UK, make sure you respect social etiquette in the following situations:
British people are quite reserved when greeting one another. A handshake is the most common form of greeting when you meet someone for the first time. It is only when you greet close friends or relatives that you would kiss them on the cheek or give them a hug. The British may also call you by many different affectionate names, such as dear, chuck, mate, gov, son or love. Do not be offended, this is quite normal. The British like their privacy, so not all topics are safe for small talk. Avoid asking people about their age, religion, politics, marital status, weight or how much they earn. Instead, acceptable small talk topics are family, films, television, sport, studies, food, hobbies and of course, the weather! When you visit people at home, make sure you are on time. Its also nice to take a gift for your hosts, such as a bunch of flowers or a box of chocolates. A British person might say come and see me soon or drop in any time. However, you must always phone before you visit someone.

Losing friends is about as easy as making friends if you dont know how to deal with anger and conflict1. Conflict is part of everyones life. It will show up at school, at work and at home. Its OK to feel angry, frustrated, annoyed, disappointed or sad. These feelings are natural, but its how you deal with them that makes the difference. Some people scream, shout, swear2, call people names, try to get back at or even hit the person who has hurt them. Others do their best to keep away from disagreements but very few deal with conflict successfully. Resolving conflict is a step by step process. Before you start discussing the problem, cool off, count to 10, take a deep breath and imagine a relaxing place. Then, say whats really bothering you, but watch how you express yourself. Dont blame or accuse. Share how you feel by using I statements. For example, dont say You are always bossing me around, but I feel frustrated because you dont pay attention to what I think. You want people to hear your opinion so make sure you practise what you preach3. Listen carefully to the other person and accept that he or she might see the problem in a different way. Be flexible and open-minded, willing to apologise, forgive and move on.
