Suggested answers 1 Do you want a hobby that you can do anywhere? If so, then you should think about running. It’s fun when you get into it. 2 You don’t need much equipment
- just running shoes. Take my advice and buy them at a specialist sports shop – it’s the best thing to do! 3 Why is running so great? Well, first of all, it’s free! Secondly, you can do it alone or with a couple of friends. It can be tricky when you start, but you’d be amazed at how quickly you get fit! 4 So, why not give it a go? Check out the many online sites to find good local running routes. It’s lots of fun once you get going!

Suggested answers Your notes Paragraph 1 Portable Bluetooth Speaker – had it for two months. Have used it with my PC, tablet and phone and sound is superb! Paragraph 2 One positive feature – very light and compact design, easy to put in your bag, so you can take it anywhere – great for going on holiday, travelling to school/work, days out … strong, variety of colours. Although it’s small, it gives loud sound. Paragraph 3 Unfortunately, one of the minuses
- you can’t control the volume, so tricky to use where you might bother other people. Also you have to switch off Bluetooth when changing to another device or it won’t work.
Paragraph 4 To sum up – I’d recommend it, especially if you need something for travelling.

Suggested answer You mentioned you’re thinking of applying for a summer job. That sounds great! I reckon having work experience shows future employers you’re motivated and responsible. Plus, you’ll meet lots of new people outside your social circle and improve your people skills. I live in a town on the coast that’s popular with tourists. Some of my friends work in restaurants. It’s popular because it’s easy to do and you learn new skills such as time management. There are also a lot of summer camps for kids and they’re always looking for people to help. It’s a great way of getting experience of working as part of a team, and it’s fun too.

Exercise 3
Suggested answers 1 Sarah is an art student. 2 It is her birthday. Yes. 3 The package was delivered to her house but she doesn’t know who it is from. 4 The painting shows Sarah painting an unfinished picture. There is a note inside saying ‘Do what you love.’ 5 Sarah decides to enter a local art competition. 6 It’s a competition for local artists in different age groups. Sarah works hard to paint a portrait of her grandmother. 7 Sarah wins second prize and decides to study art at university. 8 ‘Do what you love.’
Exercise 4
Suggested answer When Sarah opened the package and saw the painting inside, she couldn’t believe her eyes. Birthdays usually involved a few cards and maybe a present or two, but nothing like this! It was a painting … and it showed Sarah painting an unfinished picture of a beautiful old woman. There was no card to say who the gift was from, but the note inside the package said, ‘Do what you love.’ What Sarah loved more than anything was painting. She had heard about a local art competition, and the anonymous gift made Sarah decide she would enter. Inspired by the art she had been given, Sarah started to paint a picture of her elderly grandmother. It was difficult and took a long time, but Sarah was proud of the end result, and rightly so. The painting won second prize in the art competition! Not only that, but it helped Sarah to make an important decision. She decided to go and

She is made believable by involving us in her dreams. 2 Drama added by the second sentence (Was this really where her life would change forever?) – it’s possible her life will change, but we don’t know why or how. 3 Could it be real? It would be worth a fortune! 4 Gina is ‘devastated’, the market is in an area of town that is ‘run- down’ and ‘unfamiliar’. 5 The title suggests the story could either turn out well or not. 6 Direct speech (‘It’s yours for just £15’); different tenses (‘would change’ ‘was hoping’ ‘she’d dreamt’ ‘strode’); exclamation mark (‘It would be worth a fortune!’)

Exercise 5
Suggested answer Nowadays, it is not unusual for teenagers to work part-time to earn money. There are two sides to this question – is it a good idea for young people to do this, or should their parents give them an allowance? I would argue that it is a positive thing to do. To begin with, it is important to remember that earning their own money teaches teenagers its value. For example, they are more likely to spend their earnings on essentials, knowing how long it took them to earn the money. I

Well, you should go to Bilbao, there’s tons to do there and you must check out the Guggenheim Museum. What about going to Santander? As well as the city, which is really cool, there are some great beaches and the surfing is fantastic! There are loads of little villages where you can eat delicious seafood and chill out.

3 The best thing is the huge variety of modern art with over 100 works on display that change regularly. 4 It has great facilities, including a pleasant café, an excellent restaurant, a shop and a lovely picnic area. 5 My only criticism is that if it rains it can be muddy. 6 I highly recommend the park as a great day out for the whole family
Exercise 3
Suggested answer The Yorkshire Sculpture Park One of the most amazing open- air art galleries in the world is the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. It is set in stunning scenery near Wakefield in England. My family and I visited it last year. The best thing about the park is the huge variety of modern art with over 100 works on display that change regularly. For me, it was fun and exciting to walk around as you don’t know what you will discover next. Of course, children love running around it too. Incredibly, admission is free, although you do have to pay for the car park – at only £8 for the whole day it is great value. The park has great facilities, including a pleasant café, an excellent restaurant and a shop. There’s a lovely picnic area too so you can take your own food to reduce costs. My only criticism of this wonderful site is that if it rains, it can be muddy. However, as there is also a fantastic new underground gallery it doesn’t prevent you from enjoying your visit. Overall, I highly recommend the park as a great day out for the whole family.
