VIII Read the article. Circle the correct answer.
Some people are better communicators than others and this helps us to choose our jobs. People who work
alone, for example, artists or postmen, don’t need good communication skills. Musicians communicate
with the other players through their music. However, workers who speak to the public all day, for
example, hotel receptionists, need to enjoy meeting and helping people. One profession that needs good
communications skills (but does not always have them) is medicine. A clever doctor may not be very good
at talking to his or her patients. Some teaching hospitals now train their medical students to have a good
bed-side manner. This means the medical students learn to be kind and friendly when they are talking to
sick people who are frightened or unhappy. Another profession that needs good communication skills is
the police force. The police learn to look carefully at faces and bodies so they can ‘read’ if a person is
dangerous or not telling the truth.
1 All / Some people are good communicators.
2 A good receptionist likes working in a hotel / meeting people.
3 Most / Some doctors are bad communicators.
4 Doctors can’t / can learn to communicate with ordinary people.
5 A ‘good bed-side manner’means you can talk about science / kindly to patients.
6 Medical students are student doctors / sick students.
7 Patients are dangerous / sick people.
8 You can’t / can learn to read body language.
IX Translate the social expressions.

2 Pleased to meet you.____________
3 See you tomorrow.____________

7 Read the information. Write OS(Oxford Street), CM(Camden Market), or CS(Carnaby Street).
Carnaby Street was a famous London street in the 1960s when the Beatles were young and Britain was the
centre of pop and fashion. Unfortunately, it is now a place for tourists where there isn’t much to buy
except postcards and badly-made souvenirs. Oxford Street in central London is world-famous for its
shops. However, many tourists find it isn’t very interesting: the shops near Marble Arch are large
department stores selling mass-produced things and at the other end of the street there are smaller shops
selling cheap clothes and electrical goods. Camden Market is in a fashionable area of north London. More
than 9 million visitors go there every year. The market is open all week but it is busiest at the weekends. If
you don’t mind being with lots of people, it’s great walking along the streets looking at the jewellery,
clothes, and antique stalls. There are lots of small specialist shops and stalls selling interesting things from
all over the world, so make sure you have lots of time to look around.

6 Read what Janey and Silvio write about their parents. Are the sentences true (T) or false (F)?
My parents are great. They are very fair and they always discuss things with us. Dad worries about his
little girls but Mum likes to give us enough freedom to learn from our mistakes. The only rule is that I
must tell them where I’m going and who I am with. I think my parents have got it right: they are interested
in us but they don’t want to control us. Janey 16
My parents were too careful – they worried about me and my two brothers all the time. Our parents both
had terrible childhoods so they wanted ours to be perfect. Every minute of our lives was spent doing
expensive things – we never got time to be kids just playing on our bikes in the street. What they don’t
understand is that we didn’t want our childhood to be perfect – we wanted it to be normal. We were spoilt
and I don’t think they taught us the value of working for things. I learned that when I left home and started
to spend my own money! Silvio 21
