1. Welcome to Cavendish school of English.
How much do you know about us? Well,
Cavendish has been a school for over 25
years. Loads of our students come from
Germany particularly at Easter and summer.
We also have adult internationals that come from all over the
world.
There are about 15 classrooms in the main site. We’ve got a
conservatory, which is one of the only two places you can eat
and drink in the school’s premises (the other being outside in
the garden), and a multi functional room used for the
cinema, karaoke and presentations. There are vending and
pot noodle machines where you can buy stuff to satisfy your
hunger! Also at reception you can buy SIM cards, top ups etc.
2. Just remember that eating or drinking is
not allowed in the classrooms or in the
corridors. This includes chewing gum. Also,
turn off your mobile phones when in class.
At the end of the lesson make sure you tidy
up and put everything away. We want to keep the school
clean and tidy for everyone, which includes you!
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, speak as much
English as possible in and out of class during your time in
England – remember, that’s why you’re here.
3. Your lessons are probably going to be different to what you
are used to. Perhaps in school at home you
do lots of grammar exercises. How
interesting is that? Do you study texts in
great detail? Do you have to translate
texts? Well, during your course at
Cavendish school you won't be doing
much of that in the traditional sense.
We’ve created a series of lessons
where you will have to work a lot in
pairs and groups to complete a task,
such as creating a music biography,
performing a press conference or
working together in the guise of
policemen to decide if someone is
telling the truth or not! These activities are
4. Whilst we realise that it isn’t always easy speaking English
to people who speak the same
language as you, you will only make
real progress and increase your
confidence if you speak as little
German as possible, not only in class
but when on trips or with your host
family. The more you make an effort to
speak English with English people and
with each other, the better and the
more confident you will be. We have
an expression in English which sums this
up well – The more you put in, the more you’ll get out of it.

5. intended to provide you with opportunities to practise your
existing linguistic skills, to further develop your all round skills –
speaking, listening, reading and writing, and improve your
confidence. Also you’ll be learning a lot without really
knowing it!
5. Learning a language well takes time and hard work on your part. You’ll make mistakes but don’t be
worried since that is an integral part of learning. It's inevitable that whilst you’re trying to put the pieces of the
language puzzle together you’ll say sentences incorrectly or mispronounce words. Whilst you are in class
doing a task together your teacher will be noting down any errors he or she hears without interrupting you. After
you have completed the activity the teacher will present the errors to you. He or she will encourage the class to correct them
without any teacher intervention. We believe in self-correction, since students tend to remember information better like this.
So, you see, you will be studying and analysing grammar but in a different and more interesting and useful way.

Your teacher will divide you into 2 groups, A and B.
Students A read the information on this page. Students B – your teacher will tell you which page to
read.
1 Bournemouth retains SIX Seaside Awards!
It’s impossible not to be inspired by the breathtaking vista that stretches
out endlessly before you. With mile after mile of clean, soft, golden sand,
our beaches are our biggest attraction by far. In fact, it was recently
announced that Bournemouth has retained six Seaside Awards for its
beaches. The awards have been granted to Bournemouth Pier beach,
Boscombe Pier beach, Fisherman’s Walk, Southbourne, Durley Chine and Alum Chine. Chris
Saunders, Business Development Manager for the Seafront, said, “We are really pleased to
have retained these prestigious awards. They recognise the hard work and resources that go
into helping make our beaches some of the best in the country. It is wonderful recognition for
the staff and the town and we are all extremely proud."

6. 2 Come and find out about some fantastic ideas and itineraries for families on holiday in
Bournemouth. Check out the amusements with the latest games at Bournemouth Pier and
Neptune Arcade, or the old favourites and Bingo at Happylands near West Cliff Lift. Have a go
on the bouncy castle at Durley and Eastbeach. There’s ice cream and food galore at the
seafront with tasty treats to tempt all the family. Alternatively, you can cruise along the coast
and learn about the history of Bournemouth with a trip on one of the Dorset Belle boats.
3 Bournemouth’s Town Centre provides a great choice of shops and boutiques in a traditional
setting. Here, major national and regional brands like Debenhams and Beales sit comfortably
alongside small, individual boutiques, cafes and bars. Whether
you prefer a major shopping extravaganza, or more leisurely
window shopping, Bournemouth is the place to be.
4 Sit back and enjoy a show at the BIC, pavilion or Pier theatres,
with entertainment from leading names in the world of music
and show business. The Pavilion Theatre is a traditional theatre situated
in the heart of Bournemouth and easy to get to from hotels and
guesthouses. Because of its Victorian style interior, the Pavilion is the
perfect venue for Ballets from around the world, West End shows,
musicals and much more. The Bournemouth International Centre (BIC)
is a large, modern venue again situated in the heart of Bournemouth and plays host to pop
concerts, musicals, exhibitions, ballroom dancing, conferences and much more. If you’re under
18, there are also some nightclubs where you can party the night away.
5 If the sun isn’t shining, don’t worry – there’s plenty to do indoors in Bournemouth. Check out
some of our ideas. Mad on art? Spend a couple of hours browsing
the Russell-Cotes Art Gallery and Museum with its ever-changing
programme of gallery exhibits and displays. Visit the Oceanarium
by Bournemouth Pier where you will come face to face with stingrays
and sharks. Discover life beneath the waves and explore the
secrets of the ocean in an adventure that will take you to some of
the world’s most amazing waters.
6 The Bournemouth Eye - See for miles as the Bournemouth Eye takes
you up to 500ft (about 150 metres) above Bournemouth, and
experience amazing panoramic views over the English Channel and
surrounding countryside for up to 20 miles. The giant helium balloon
takes flight from Bournemouth Lower Gardens. Children and adults will
enjoy the breath-taking sights by day or by night with illuminated night
flights – creating a unique romantic atmosphere.

C Group Work – How To Survive In The DesertC Group Work – How To Survive In The Desert
Your SituationYour Situation
You were travelling by light aircraft to San Francisco. Your plane had a mechanical fault and has just
crashed in the Californian desert. Fortunately none of you are injured, but the pilot is dead, the plane
has completely burnt out, the radio is broken and your mobile phones can’t
get a signal. The temperature now is 44°C, but at night it’s close to
freezing.
The area is flat and barren; you can see only small rocks and the
occasional cactus on the dusty ground. You have no way of
knowing exactly where you are; there is no sign of human activity in
any direction, so civilisation could be 10 or 100 kilometres away – you
just don’t know.
You were able to save fifteen objects (listed on the next page) from the plane before it burnt out. If
used correctly, some or all of these objects could help you survive this situation.
Look at the list now.
InstructionsInstructions
Working individually, write in the first column what you think is the order of importance of each object,
starting with 1 for the most important, to 15 for the least important. Write why you think the object is or
isn’t useful in the 2nd
column.
Next, you must decide what is the order of importance for your survival, as a
group. You will all have different opinions to each other, so you will need to
persuade others to see your point of view and agree with you. Write your
group agreement in the next column.
When you have finished your discussion and completed column 3, your
teacher will give you the “official” ranking, according to army experts and
people who have really been in this situation, and survived as a result of the
decisions they made. From this, you will be able to calculate your own
chances of survival, and whether you would do better alone, or with the
rest of the group.

Your situationYour situation
You were working as a chef in a big, busy restaurant, but have just been made redundant. This is not
necessarily a bad thing because for some time you’ve been thinking of starting your own restaurant;
this could be your big chance. You were given £10000 redundancy money. This is not enough to
open your own business, so you need more money from somewhere, fast.
You have two choices:
Borrow money from the bank (Go to 8)

know him and got on well with him as a colleague. Why not form a
partnership and go into business together? (Go to 22)

quickly. Does it speak positively or negatively about British food?
Now read the following statements. Do you think they are TRUE or FALSE? Read the text again a little
more slowly to check. If any of the answers are false, correct them. For some of them there isn’t
enough information. Mark these as NEI.
 Britain is producing more and more outstanding chefs.
 We (the Brits) are still only eating junk food.
 There are more ingredients to choose from.
 The top chefs are traditional, conservative and of a more mature age.
 The reputation for British food was average but some now think it’s simply the best.

What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday
dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so bland and uninteresting?
1) espite a reputation for less-than-spectacular cuisine, Britain is producing more and
more top class chefs who dominate our television screens and whose recipe books frequently

It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any a3)dvertising ca mpaign that Britons are turning
away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals, and becoming more adventurous in
Page | 13

14. their cooking habits. It seems that TV programmes have the power to bring a higher profile to
cooking and are wielding real influence on what people cook at home.
A4)ccording to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons claim that watching cookery
programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now
use a wider variety of ingredients than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 (24%) say
they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that
TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their
culinary knowledge and skills, and young people are
also getting more interested in cooking. With an
increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer
‘uncool’ for boys to like cooking. The UK’s new obsession
with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and
documentaries about food are b5)roadcast during prime time evening slots.
Many of the new celebrity chefs promote modern ‘fusion cuisine’, which blends classic ‘British’
cooking with international and exotic influences. Even the chefs themselves are younger, more
beautiful and much more experimental, such as Nigella Lawson and Jamie Oliver. Jamie Oliver
was only 23 when he first appeared on British television screens. More than 4 million people
tuned in to his popular show ‘Jamie’s Kitchen’. The show began as an experiment and turned
into a phenomenon. Jamie gave himself nine months to take on a team of unemployed 16 to
24- year-olds, with virtually no previous experience of cooking, and transform them into top
class chefs to work in his new restaurant in East London, ‘Fifteen’. Jamie left school himself
without formal qualifications and believes that with a6) passion for food, anyone can become
a good cook. ‘Fifteen’ has become a hit in London and is booked up months in advance.
Jamie Oliver has proved to be a7) huge inspiration for British people. The
recent survey finds that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is
slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to
change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the
number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and
colleges, such as those offered by the School of Culinary Art at South Trafford
College. Having been ridiculed for centuries for its mediocre cuisine, is Britain
now catching up with countries such as France and Italy in the field of culinary excellence?

Unit 2 - Welcome to BournemouthUnit 2 - Welcome to Bournemouth
Students B read the information on this pageStudents B read the information on this page
1) Not far from Bournemouth lies the enchanting
New Forest. As you enter the New Forest today, you
appear to step backwards in time to over nine centuries ago when William the
Conqueror used to ride his horses through the Forest. The landscape is unique and
traditions exist here that are unchanged since mediaeval times. The New Forest’s
ancient woodlands and wilderness heaths remain largely intact, earning the area
national and international status. This most English of forests continues to be a living
and working community where ponies and cattle still have the right of way as they
freely graze the land. Deeper in the forest, wild deer browse beneath the canopies of mighty oak and
beech – natural scenes unchanged by the modern world.
2) Ancient Buildings – This area of England is full of history. A great example is Corfe Castle, one of Britain's
most majestic ruins. The castle controlled the gateway through the Purbeck Hills and was an important
stronghold since the time of William the Conqueror. Also, in nearby Salisbury, there’s Stonehenge, an
amazing ring of huge stones that’s over 5 thousand years old. We still don’t know exactly how or why it
was built.
3) Europe’s First Artificial Surf Reef Comes to Bournemouth - The vibrant,
cosmopolitan town of Bournemouth on the South Coast of
England will soon be at the top of the lists of great places to surf in
Europe due to the artificial surf reef’s completion in May 2008.
4) For some crazy fun – try a round of Crazy
Golf or Pitch ‘n’ Putt with courses throughout Bournemouth and Boscombe
Gardens. Or try some table tennis in Bournemouth Gardens – next to the Crazy
Golf. Or are you the next Roger Federer? Budding tennis stars can have a
game at the open air Bournemouth Tennis Centre in Bournemouth Central
Gardens (covered in winter).
5) Bournemouth also boasts the exciting Quasar Elite. It’s a game of wits and cunning in which you must
do what you can to shoot your opponents with your laser gun. Players wear a
specifically designed, red or blue pack and enter a purpose built arena. With
objects to hide behind, smoke to disappear into and players' lasers to dodge, it
will get your heart pumping and guarantee you a great time whether you are a
first time player or a seasoned Quasar Elite™ champion.
6) Sample the superb fast-food cuisine at one of the town’s
many traditional ‘chippies’ Everyone has his or her favourite
‘chippy’ or ‘fish shop’. Last year over 250 million portions of fish
‘n’ chips were sold throughout the UK, proving that they are still
the nation's favourite hot take-away. Each year there is a
National Fish & Chip Shop of the Year Competition, and if you
win, you join a national hall of fame. Previous winners include
the Halfway Fish Bar in Poole and Chez Fred in Bournemouth, which is famous for its fantastic meals.

Tape scriptTape script
On Friday 13th October 1972, a Uruguayan plane, which was carrying 45 passengers to Chile, most of
whom were students and rugby players, crashed in the Andes mountains. Twelve of the people died in
the crash. The survivors not only had to withstand the hunger and the fearful Mountains, but also freezing
temperatures during the night. They tried to survive with the scarce food reserves they had until being
rescued, but they lost their hope when they heard that the search had been abandoned on the radio.
Desperate owing to the lack of food and physically exhausted, they were forced to feed themselves on
their dead partners to keep on living.
Douglas Mawson, a 30-year-old Australian geologist and explorer ventured to eastern Antarctica. Feeling
the pressure, the day they were to turn back, dog handler Ninnis, their six strongest dogs, and the food
sledge vanished into a crevasse. Mawson and his companion, Mertz, were left with a week's supply of
food, no dog rations, and a five-week journey ahead of them. They set off, shooting the weakest dogs
one by one for food. Unbeknownst to Mawson and Mertz, the huskies' livers were poisoning them with
toxic amounts of vitamin A, causing deep strips of their skin to peel off. Mawson was eventually rescued -
ten and a half months later.
In 1985, veteran climbers Joe Simpson and Simon Yates were attempting the first ascent of the Siula
Grande peak in the South American Andes, when Simpson fell and broke his leg. Yates carried Simpson
down the majority of the mountain using rope to help him. Disaster struck. The men slipped. Yates didn’t
fall off the ice face but Simpson did. The rope was still holding them together. Forced to make a
desperate choice, Yates cut the rope, leaving his friend to die on the mountain. He returned to base
camp. Incredibly, Simpson survived the 50-foot fall and landed in a crevasse. Somehow he managed to
find a way out of and crawl down the mountain. He found his friend at base camp.
Unit 7 - Linkin Park BiographyUnit 7 - Linkin Park Biography
Who were Linkin Park in 1996?
They weren’t Linkin Park then; they were originally called Xero, and were an alternative metal quintet
from Los Angeles, influenced by old-school hip-hop, traditional classic rock, and electronic vibes.
Drummer Rob Bourdon, guitarist Brad Delson, and MC/vocalist Mike Shinoda had become great mates
at school.
At the same time, in another LA school, art student and DJ Joseph Hahn made friends with bassist Dave
"Phoenix" Farrell and Shinoda. They then all met up, and went on to form Xero.
Vocalist Chester Bennington was the last member to come on board in 1999. With the recruitment of
Bennington as singer, the band changed their name to Hybrid Theory. They began to work on successful
new material, and played a lot of concerts in Los Angeles, especially at a night club called Whisky.
The success of these gigs prompted them to make their final change of name, to Linkin Park, in 1999.
However, despite these changes, the band were still struggling to sign a record deal. Finally, through
sheer self-belief, and through moving in the right circles, the breakthrough came: Linkin Park signed to the
big record company Warner Bros in 1999, with the help of Jeff Blue, who was now vice-president of
Warner Bros.
Linkin Park then got down to writing their debut album, which was called Hybrid Theory. It was released in
the autumn of 2000. Singles from this first album such as "Crawling" and "One Step Closer" were massive
radio hits and video favourites on MTV. The album sold 4.8 million records. They went on tour with Family
Values and the Project: Revolution Tour with Cypress Hill. They played over 324 shows in 2001.
Linkin Park were now in demand. In January 2002, Hybrid Theory received three Grammy nominations, for
Best Rock Album and Best New Artist. A month later, Linkin Park won an award for Best Hard Rock
Performance for "Crawling." They spent the remainder of that year in the studio recording a 2nd
album
after their eight-times-platinum debut Hybrid Theory. This album, called Meteora, was released in March
2003; the first single, "Somewhere I Belong," was an instant hit.
Page | 41

42. The second annual Projekt Revolution tour started in late spring 2003 with Linkin Park joining Mudvayne,
Xzibit, and Blindside; Summer Sanitarium dates with Metallica, Limp Bizkit, Mudvayne, and the Deftones
followed in July and August. In late 2004, Linkin Park started their most ambitious project: Collision Course,
in collaboration with rapper Jay-Z. Jay Z and Linkin Park mixed some of their old material with newer
songs, to create a fresher, more imaginative sound. Jay-Z also encouraged the project’s co-founder,
Mike Shinoda, to explore the possibilities of a solo hip-hop project.
He did. He called the project Fort Minor, and released the album The Rising Tied in 2005 with Jay-Z as
executive producer. The group came back together in 2006 and began work on their next album. With
Shinoda and Rick Rubin (Run-D.M.C., Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash) sharing the production credit,
the album Minutes to Midnight was available for download and hit the shops in 2007. Its sales rocketed,
with over 600 000 copies being sold in its first week.
The band have sold over 40 million records, won many awards, done lots of charity work and will be
releasing their fourth album in 2010.

Please Arrest my Daughter
Mother’s desperate call fails to help drug addict Rachel
It was the hardest thing she
had ever had to do.
Desperate and tearful,
Jackie Keene phoned the
police to report her drug-
addict daughter for
stealing her car.
By calling in the authorities
when 21-year-old Rachel
fled their home, she hoped
someone would be able to
1) ___________________
_________.
But last night Rachel was
back at her mother’s neat,
comfortable home in
Oxford, after being 2)
___________ __________ by
magistrates.
A distraught Mrs Keene, 47,
said: “It breaks my heart,
but I can’t help her. She
needs treatment. I
would prefer to
see her in a
psychiatric ward
than have her here
at home, before
things get even
worse.”
Rachel had been living at
home under the close
watch of her divorced
mother, who was trying to
curb her daughter’s
addiction. Mrs Keene
called the police after
Rachel stole and drove
away in her car after her
21st
birthday last weekend.
It was 3) _________ before
she was found and
arrested.
Rachel has refused all
attempts to have her
admitted to hospital, and
there is no law to force her
to go.
The once-bubbly girl
started experimenting with
drugs two years ago, when
she began going to all-
night parties. She took LSD
and ecstasy, and smoked
cannabis joints as if they
were cigarettes.
At first, Mrs Keene had no
idea what was happening,
but about a year ago
Rachel’s behaviour
became increasingly
strange. She was unable to
concentrate, she made
peculiar whining noises to
herself, and developed a

When she
moved
out to
stay with
friends in nearby
Didcot, her
behaviour
deteriorated. In August,
she took an overdose of
100 aspirin and “tripped”
on LSD. She was delirious in
hospital.
Mrs Keene said: ”If any
other youngster had seen
my daughter then, they
would never touch drugs. I
couldn’t believe what I
was seeing, but afterwards
her friends told me she
would take up to ten trips a
night at those parties.”
After a fortnight in a

Rachel ran away back to
her friends. But she was still
ill. Eventually, she agreed
to go on holiday to Spain
with family friends. When
she returned, she went
back home to her mother.
Mrs Keene and her older
daughter, a nurse,
