1 Read the following posting from Zoe’s blog. Decide if the sentences about Miss Swift are true or false. Write T or F. Correct the false sentences.

1 She is a Maths teacher2 She enjoyed her job.3 She was a boring teacher.4 She only talked about Maths.5 She had favourite students.

2 Tick (✓) the words that describe Miss Swift.

1 clever 5 challenging2 caring 6 confident3 friendly 7 proud4 bossy 8 fantastic

Posted by: Zoe Jones, UKA person who really influenced me is one of my teachers from secondary school, Miss Swift. Miss Swift taught me Maths in Years 9 and 10. She was a clever, open-minded and caring person and she seemed to love what she was doing. She was very friendly, but never too friendly – she was always the teacher and the boss and we were always her students. She was very serious about her subject and she always wanted her students to learn, but she always taught it in an interesting, fun and challenging way. She really made me want to learn and to do well. And, for me at least, she always made us feel confident and proud of what we achieved.

But Miss Swift was more than a teacher. She was a person you could go to with a problem – about Maths or about other things in and out of school – and she always tried to help you find the answer. At the same time, she expected you to make the effort to find out how to do something. She always came across as someone who cared about every student in her class. And she never had any favourite students – we were all her favourites.

Miss Swift was a really fantastic teacher and a great influence on me. And thanks to her, I really enjoy studying and finding out new things.

3 Write a description (150–200 words) of a person who has influenced you (for example, a family member, a friend, a famous person). Answer these questions:

Who is he/she? What’s he/she like? How has he/she influenced you?

2 For questions 1–6 choose the correct answer, A, B, C or D.

What is pop music?Pop music is one of the most popular genres of music in the 21st century. But, have you ever thought about how the music of today came about?

Pop music came from the rock ’n’ roll movement of the early 1950s, when record companies recorded singles that they thought that teenagers wanted to listen to on the radio. Many different styles of music have become pop music since the 1950s. Often, music companies create new pop music styles by taking a style of music that only a small number of people were listening to, and then making that music more popular by marketing it to teenagers and young adults.

In the 1950s, recording companies took traditional rock ’n’ roll, for example Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, and rockabilly, for example Carl Perkins and Buddy Holly, and promoted them as the first pop music. In the 1960s, record companies started to create rock music, which was a mix of rock ’n’ roll, blues and folk. From this came the softer and more psychedelic style of bands such as The Doors and Pink Floyd and the harder, louder, ‘heavier’ type of rock bands such as Led Zeppelin and Metallica.

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, a type of dance music popular in nightclubs in New York, called disco, turned into a popular type of pop music. Major disco groups include the Bee Gees and Earth, Wind and Fire. Around the same time, and again centred in New York, record companies took an experimental, strange-sounding type of music called new wave and turned it into pop groups such as Blondie and Talking Heads. Punk bands such as the Sex Pistols played a harder and usually faster version of new wave. In the 1990s record companies promoted an underground type of punk-influenced hard rock called grunge, for example Nirvana and Pearl Jam.

Along the way, there have been many other styles and sub-genres of pop music, and there may be many more in the future as pop music continues to reinvent itself.

1 The New Forest a It provided wood for industry.2 Kielder Forest b It provided a habitat for wild animals.

A tale of two forestsThe New Forest in Hampshire is England’s oldest forest. William the Conqueror created it in 1079 to protect an area of woodland for hunting animals. It is typical of deciduous forests, with several layers of vegetation. The first layer of tall trees, such as oak, beech and ash, forms a roof over the forest with their broad green leaves. Below are younger trees and small trees, for example, hawthorne. In the next layer are shrubs and below that berries and wild flowers. The bottom layer includes moss, which grows on tree trunks. These layers provide food and habitats for wild animals.

In William’s day you could find wild boar and deer. No surprise that he wanted the land for hunting. However, the local people weren’t happy, because they couldn’t use the land or wood, so William allowed their pigs, cows and ponies to live and find food there. You can still find these animals there, in addition to birds, foxes, squirrels, snakes and deer. Wild boar, extinct in Britain since the 17th century, are returning to the forest, too.

In Northumberland, Kielder Forest is England’s largest coniferous forest. There you can find spruce, pine and fir trees, typical of cold northern climates. The trees have dark green needles, which absorb weak sunlight. They are tall and narrow, so that snow falls off their branches easily. The trees grow close together for protection from wind. They also make good timber because they have thick tall trunks and grow quickly.

The first trees at Kielder Forest grew in the 1920s and soon became an important source of timber for industries. Today the forest provides wood for building, paper and fuel. Kielder Forest is a good example of a sustainable forest because millions of new trees are planted each year. They are a mixture of coniferous and deciduous trees, to encourage animal life in the forest. Kielder Forest is now very popular for walks and picnics.

7 How do we use coniferous trees in industry?

8 How do workers at Kielder Forest sustain it?

6 Use the library or the internet to research a forest near you. Find out the following information and write about 100 words.

• Is the forest deciduous or coniferous?• How old is it?• Do workers cut down the wood for industry?• Is it a sustainable forest? What kind of trees do

they plant?• Is there a lot of animal life there? How do the

foresters protect animal life?

5 Read the text again. Then answer the questions.

1 What do the layers of deciduous forests provide?

2 Why weren’t the local people allowed to use William’s forest at first?

3 What did William do for the local people?

4 Which animals can you find in The New Forest today?

5 Where do you normally find coniferous trees?

6 Why does snow fall off coniferous trees?
