Hi Antonio,
How are you? Sorry I haven’t written for so long – I have been very busy for the last three months.
I am still working for ABS plastics, but I was promoted and now I am a manager. It is a good job but
very hard. I also moved house.
The children are fine, and my wife is still working from home. We really miss seeing you and your
family – we are always talking about the good times we had when we were neighbours! We should
try to meet up again soon – how about in the summer holidays? We could all go to a hotel in
Thailand or somewhere. What do you think?
I have to go now – my wife is calling.
Bye for now.
Your friend as always,
Eddie

a Another advantage is that you will learn about many things, not only your subject.

c For example, you can get a Bachelor’s degree, which means you can get a good job.
d In the library, for example, you can read books on different subjects and talk to people about them.
e It is a time when you can think about your life and your goals, and learn to be independent.
f Secondly, going to university means that you will meet a lot of interesting people.
g The first advantage is that you will get a useful qualification.
h These may be students or teachers.
(1) Nowadays, many people read more on computer screens than in books. There are several
advantages of this, but also some disadvantages.
(2) One advantage is that books are big and heavy, but a computer can store thousands of
them. This means that you don’t have to carry or store large items. Another advantage is
that it is easy to share articles with lots of people, just by sending them.
(3) However, there are also disadvantages. One disadvantage is that computers can crash,
losing the files. Another problem is that reading from a screen for a long time can hurt your
eyes.
(4) In conclusion, reading from a screen is a very good way of reading, but it has some
problems. For this reason, I think that there will always be people who prefer books.

Paragraph 3 –
My friend Juma has an interesting uncle, Hussain, who has lived on three different continents. Hussain was born in Holland,
because Juma’s grandfather, who was from Bahrain, worked for a company in the capital, Amsterdam. Hussain went to
school in Holland, where he learned Dutch and English, but he spoke Arabic at home, so he speaks three languages perfectly.
At school he was brilliant at science, so later he went to university to study physics.
After university, Hussain went to America to work on an important project. He quickly became team leader, and later he
was promoted to general manager. When that job finished, he went back to Bahrain and started his own company. He soon
employed over 300 people, drilling and mining in the desert areas.
In Bahrain, he got married and had four children: two boys and two girls. His wife is also a scientist, but she looks after
the children now. Juma visits Hussain at Eid and other holidays, and he gets on very well with the children. Most of all, he
likes to talk to Hussain, who has lots of interesting stories about life in Holland.

Learning English can seem difficult, but it is possible if you practise regularly and really want to learn the most
important thing, in my opinion, is to read in English as much as possible reading helps your English improve in many
ways you also need to focus on vocabulary, and try to use the new vocabulary you learn spelling is another important
thing when you learn English, because English spelling is different from other languages and you need to practise it it
is also very useful to practise writing as often as possible, for example by writing emails to your teacher or friends
7 Add two more sentences to the paragraph. Write about how to practise listening or speaking.

Hi Marlene,
Thanks for your email. You asked me about my experience of learning English. I will tell you all about it.
Well, you probably think it is very difficult. (1) , it isn’t, if you follow some simple steps.
First of all, I think you should get some lessons, like I did. (2) , you will probably have to
pay for these, but it will be more fun if you are in class and you will learn faster if you have a teacher.
(3) , you will only learn if you work hard! I also found that it helps to be organized –
buy some good notebooks and pens, make a good plan of what you need to learn, and so on.
(4) , that’s enough about how to do it – actually, the most important thing is that you
want to learn. I keep reminding myself how important English is for my future career!
I have to go to class now.

c explaining what a survey is
A class survey
I asked students in my class about learning English and here are the answers they gave. [A] 4 Most people said
they enjoyed the extra writing practice. One or two people said they liked the speaking classes best. Everyone said
the grammar was very useful, but some people found it difficult!
Next, I asked people what they were planning to do next year to improve their English. Almost everyone said they
would continue English classes. One student said he was going to study in the UK for two months. [B] Everyone
said they would watch more films in English and they would read more books.
I think everyone’s plans for the future are good. [C] However, I know it is not always easy to find the time.
I would also love to go to the UK to study. [D] However, maybe one day in the future it will be possible.
