When you travel that far from home, who knows where you might end up?

If you are a beginner cyclist, you should consider your goals: are you interested mainly in exercise, or in recreation? Bicycling is a wonderful way to stay in shape, but it is also a relaxing pastime. Another piece of advice I would give to a beginner is to invest in good equipment from the start. It is not necessary to buy a very expensive bicycle, but the cheaper ones can be unsafe. A strong helmet is also very important. Bicycling injuries are common, but the risk involved can be greatly reduced if the rider wears a helmet.

So, yes, it’s important to have a good bicycle. But what’s vital is that you have a love for the sport. Every year I can’t wait for the Tour de France to start. I sit down in front of the television, but I don’t think that I have ever watched an entire stage. Long before the riders have reached the finish line, I have jumped on my bike and headed for the open road.

Best meal

Over the years, I have eaten in wonderful restaurants all round the world: London, Paris, New York, Rome. But by far the best meal I have ever had was at the top of a mountain in Chile.

While I was a student, my best friend and I backpacked across Chile and Argentina. We walked and travelled by bus, stopping in remote villages. Nearly everywhere we went, we were impressed by the hospitality and friendliness of the locals, and while the food was usually far from luxurious, it was always wholesome and tasty. One winter morning, we started walking from one mountain village to another. It began to snow, however, and within an hour we were lost.

Luckily, we found a small village the next morning. Since there was no restaurant in the village, we asked a local man if there was somewhere we could eat. He signalled to us to come inside his home and sit down. He brought out two large bowls of porridge and a pitcher of water. The porridge was simple, but wonderful. Because I had not eaten for so long, I felt at that moment as if I had never before tasted anything so delicious.

There is no doubt that the Ritz in Paris is a fabulous way to celebrate a special occasion and you will have an exquisite and memorable meal, but when you are lost, cold and haven’t eaten for over a day, nothing beats a slightly warm bowl of porridge.

MODULE 1

Exercise 1 (p. 6)

Speaker 1

I’ve been driving for over ten years now and I consider myself a good driver. I’ll never forget the advice my driving instructor gave me way back then. She told me that driving was like life in that you always had to plan what you were going to do next, one step ahead of time. And I agree. She also emphasised that when behind the wheel, you had to keep a level head, no matter what. But you know, some drivers out there are just so rude.This man cut in front of me and even smiled at me as he went by. Well, I’m ashamed to say it, but I gave him a good long blast of my horn. I couldn’t help it, I was so angry.

Speaker 2

Ever since I got my driver’s licence three years ago, I have wanted a vehicle of my own. I’m not saying it hasn’t been generous of my parents to let me have their car whenever I needed it, but I’m fairly independent and I really wanted a car of my own. My dad suggested I got a used car as it would be cheaper and the insurance wouldn’t cost so much and I agreed. Actually, he and I went to the used car dealer together. I must admit I am rather impulsive, often doing things before thinking them through.Well, I fell in love with the first car I saw and I wanted it no matter what. Big mistake. So far, I’ve spent over £2,000 on repairs.That’s almost twice what I paid for the thing in the first place!

Speaker 3

Let’s just say I’m the kind of person that tends to put off doing things. I always get things done, but usually in my own time. Slowly but surely, I’m beginning to realise that this characteristic of mine has to change.Take the other day for example. I was driving in the city centre when suddenly I got a puncture. Well, as the car rolled to a stop, all I could think of was my husband asking me if I had had the spare tyre repaired. I remember telling him that it had totally slipped my mind but that I would take it to the garage as soon as I could. Unfortunately, I hadn’t got round to it, so I ended up waiting two hours before someone could come and help me out.

Speaker 4

I’m usually the organised one in my family. I never forget anyone’s birthday and I always make sure I pay the bills on time. Anyway, it was the strangest thing – the insurance company I deal with always contacts me to let me know when my car insurance is about to expire.This year, though, for some reason they didn’t, and I hadn’t marked it on my calendar. I must admit I was rather redfaced when a policewoman pulled me over for a routine check and I discovered my insurance was three weeks out of date!

Workbook Tapescripts

Speaker 5

There’s nothing I like better than going for a long leisurely Sunday drive. I never put much thought into where I’m going to go, though. I just get in my car and off I go. It’s like an adventure of sorts.Well, my mate,Angus, is one of those people that has to have everything mapped out before doing anything. It drives him mad that I never have a set route for my Sunday excursions. He has told me time and time again that one day I would regret not being more organised. I hate to say it, but he was right. Last Sunday I got caught up in road works and spent the next six hours trying to get back home.

Speaker 6

I’ve always had a good sense of direction and I learnt how to read maps at quite an early age, so I never dreamed that it could be a problem for anyone to get from A to B. If I was going on a long journey alone to a place I have never been to before, I simply noted down the main stages of the journey and set off – no problem. Then, when I got married, my wife and I decided to spend our honeymoon touring around France in our little sports car. She didn’t have a driving licence at the time so I suggested she do the navigating. She kept pretty quiet about the idea and it was only when we got off the ferry in France and I asked her for directions out of town that I realised that she had no idea of how to read a map. She was holding it upside down.

Exercise 2 (p. 6)

I don’t really know what gave me the idea, but from an early age I was determined to be a lighthouse keeper. You know, a lot of boys my age used to say that they wanted to be engine drivers, but that never crossed my mind. I suppose that I must have seen some photographs of lighthouses somewhere, or perhaps my parents took me to visit one, I just can’t remember.

Of course, like a lot of children’s dreams, mine gradually faded and my life followed a more conventional pattern. It was only after I had married and had children of my own that I began thinking about it again. At the time, I was teaching biology in a good secondary school and we were living in a pleasant three-bedroom house in a smart neighbourhood – the sort of home that most people would be content with in fact.The problem was, I was just not satisfied.

I had never mentioned my boyhood dream to Susan, my wife, and it took me some time to summon the courage to raise the subject with her. I was afraid that she would laugh at me and tell me I was being foolish, but to my surprise she listened sympathetically. She went so far as to admit that she too found suburban life a bit dull.

We started researching the possibilities together. At first, I was disappointed to discover that becoming a lighthouse keeper was not going to be as easy as I had imagined. I hadn’t paid attention to the advances in

129

Workbook Tapescripts

technology which means that most lighthouses no longer have keepers in residence.They are automatically operated from control centres many miles away and receive only occasional visits from engineers for maintenance purposes. I was sure that my dream had been shattered.

But Susan is made of sterner stuff than me. She would not give up and kept making enquiries. It was while she was surfing the Net that she came across an article about Lundy Island in one of the on-line newspapers. Now, Lundy is a small island about twelve miles off the coast of Devon in south-west England and I had thought it was completely uninhabited. In fact, roughly 30 people live there on a fairly permanent basis. Some of these are volunteers, but at the time Susan found the article, the Trust, which runs the island, were looking for staff to help manage the tourist accommodation on the island. The salaries on offer were not brilliant, but free accommodation was included in the old lighthouse keeper’s cottage!

We talked it over with our two children, twins who were about to leave home and start their university studies, and they told us not to think twice about it.That very same night we sent off our letter of application and began the agonised wait to see what would happen. Well, you can imagine the relief we felt when we were invited for an interview but, knowing we still had a long way to go, we did not celebrate too much.We set about learning every detail we could about Lundy so that we would, hopefully, impress the interview board and I must say that the more we learnt, the more excited we became about the prospect of living there.

We have been living on the island for four years now and we have never looked back.We still own our house on the mainland, but I doubt whether we will ever live there again because life here is wonderful and we both get great satisfaction from our jobs. Susan has always been a good administrator and organiser and for me it is like being on one long field trip as I help tourists discover the rich wildlife of the island. It just goes to show that childhood dreams can sometimes lead to great happiness as long as you don’t give up on them.

Exercise 3 (p. 7)

Interviewer: I’m pleased to say that we have Tom Williams with us in our studio today. Now,Tom Williams has built himself a very interesting home and he’s here to tell us all about it.Tom, thanks so much for coming.

Tom: My pleasure.

Interviewer: Well, first I suppose we should tell our listeners what is so unique about your house.

Tom: I must admit, my house is unique. I just love inviting people to come and see it. I always make a point of being at the front of the house when they arrive.The look on their faces never fails to amuse me.

Interviewer: You mean because they are amazed at how attractive the house is?

Tom: In part, I suppose. I mean, it is lovely, but that’s not what amazes them the most. What they really can’t believe is that the house is made of straw, but it looks so sturdy and well-built.

Interviewer: I see. So the house is very strong, but it was very economical to build, wasn’t it?

Tom: Yes, it was.And to tell you the truth, if I ever build another one, it will be even less expensive. The one I have just completed cost me about £4,000 altogether. Through talking to friends, and now that I’ve had some experience, I realise I could have saved about £1,000 if I had cut my own wood for the frame of the house. I didn’t think of doing that at the time, so I had the wood cut by professionals at the local sawmill.

Interviewer: Right. So … going back to the strength of the house … how strong can a house made of straw actually be?

Tom: Well, it’s all in the way it’s constructed. First things first, it’s very important to have a really good foundation, or base. I built mine with rocks. If you take time to fit the rocks together well, you won’t need to use any mortar to stick them together.You’ll find that once the bales of straw are placed on top of the foundation, they’ll be heavy enough to hold the rocks in place.

Interviewer: And then you build the walls?

Tom: No actually, not yet. Next you construct your floor.You won’t believe how easy it is. I used old wood to make a wooden frame and then nailed boards to that. Once the floor was completed, it was time to build the roof so that it was ready to put on as soon as the walls were finished. A friend cut some planks for me from a couple of fallen trees that we found in a near-by forest. Of course, I had to get permission to do that.

Interviewer: So what about the straw? Tell me about that.

Tom: Well, I used rectangular bales of straw – 200 altogether. If you can believe it, each bale only cost me one pound.Then, after the bales were in place, I covered them in plastic sheeting. It’s very important that the straw stays dry. If moisture gets in, the straw will eventually rot.

Interviewer: So,Tom.We’re about to run out of time. So tell us … apart from having a great place to live, what do you get out of all this?

Tom: Good question. You know, I do care about what effect I have on the world. Also, I am very concerned about how much people are spending on mortgages, rent etc. But most of all, I’m just proud of the fact that I’ve built something on my own. I feel so content sitting there in my straw house in the middle of winter. The snow is falling outside, and yet, I’m inside where it is quiet and warm and I can’t help but think, ‘Yes, this is what it’s all about.’

130

Interviewer: Well, thank you Tom for being with us today. You really have accomplished something incredible. Just one last question, though. Is there any way our listeners can contact you if they would like to find out more about building a house of straw?

Tom: Sure. You can email me via my website at www.tomsstrawhouse.com with any questions you have. It might take me a little while to write back because I’m getting a lot of enquiries these days, but I will write back eventually!

Interviewer: OK, once again, thank you very much for being on the show,Tom.

Tom: You’re welcome!

MODULE 2

Exercise 1 (p. 20)

Speaker 1

I was trapped for over a day in the ruins of a tall block of flats after a devastating earthquake struck in Golcuk, Turkey. I knew from a television programme that I would be able to survive for three days without food or water, so at least I stopped worrying about that. I had also learnt that I should lie still to save my energy. I tried to keep calm and about 10 hours later I heard my name being called and was able to reply.The scramble to free me began. It took the rescuers 18 hours to find a route through the rubble. I was finally pulled clear with only minor injuries.

Speaker 2

It was late September, and we were climbing in the Kumaun region of the Indian Himalayas. Temperatures had dropped to below zero, and heavy clouds were dumping more than 10 cm of snow per hour.We’d taken shelter by chiselling our tents inside a crevasse that sloped downward into a seemingly bottomless pit. An avalanche hit at midnight. Our tents collapsed, and we awoke to snow squeezing us in the darkness. As the snow pushed us farther into the crevasse, I fought to keep an air space in front of my mouth while pulling up frantically. Pete and I dug a 15-foot-long tunnel through the snow and poked our heads out into a raging storm. There was no way we could have survived out there. Four days later the storm stopped. We tunnelled out and started climbing down the mountain to safety.

Speaker 3

I was 17 and it was the first day of the holidays. I was lying on my bodyboard on Kauai’s Brennecke Beach, feet dangling in the water, when something bit my leg and pulled me under.When I realised it was a shark, I started punching it on the nose. But it didn’t care and began thrashing me around like a mad dog with a stuffed animal. It let go for a second but grabbed a hold of me again and took me down feet first, while I kept punching

Workbook Tapescripts

it as hard as I could. Eventually, the shark flipped away and let me go. I climbed on top of my board and paddled to shore.The shark had bitten me right below the knee. The doctors told me later that I’d lost so much blood I was lucky to have survived.

Speaker 4

I was in my car on the Wooten Bridge when suddenly, I saw the tarmac break in front of me and felt the bridge shake. I thought I had just survived the earthquake when the bridge started falling. I plummeted headfirst, still gripping the steering wheel. My car landed on a large concrete slab, but the back end was slipping into the river.Water was rushing into the car. I tried to open the door, but it was jammed. I started to panic, but tried the door again and it opened. I swam to the big slab of concrete and I had just climbed up onto it, when I saw a man screaming and floating in the river. I found a piece of wood and held it out to him, guiding him through the water and onto my slab. It must have been about half an hour before a rescue boat found us.

Speaker 5

Just after I had finished university, a friend, Enrique, and I went backpacking in South America. One particular day, we decided to try hiking from one village to the next in a beautiful mountainous area of Argentina. When we mentioned our idea to the owner of the hostel we were staying in, however, he warned us that since it was very easy to get lost in the area and the weather could be very unpredictable at that time of year, it would be better to hire a guide for the day. After discussing it for a while, however, we decided that we would risk it alone. We weren’t going that far, after all. Anyway, needless to say, we ended up in a great deal of trouble. We were found by a local mountain rescue team forty-eight hours later and taken to a hospital, exhausted and seriously dehydrated.

Speaker 6

I’ve been mountain boarding since I was twelve. It is an adrenaline sport that combines the best aspects of snowboarding, but on many different terrains during the off-season – long after the snow has melted. It’s a great sport but it is also very dangerous. One day I was preparing to go down a particularly steep run when I spotted this young kid getting ready to go down too. I went up to him and asked him if he was an experienced mountain boarder. He hummed and hawed and then admitted that this would be his first attempt. I told him that he should try easier runs first so that he doesn’t hurt himself. In the beginning, I thought he was going to do the run anyway but his commonsense prevailed and he went off to an easier hill. I am certain he would have broken something if he had done what he had so foolishly planned to do.

(FCE) 40 Key Word Transformation: Exercises
B2 First (FCE) Use of English Part 4: Tips & Strategy

The important thing in key word transformations is that you keep the meaning the sameEXACTLY the same. So it’s important that you read through the first sentence and your second sentence to ensure you have kept the meaning the same. Look at these two sentences:

Tommy said he was ready for his driving test and would take it in July.
Tommy said he was ready for his driving test and could take it in July.

One letter has been changed, from “would” to “could” but it changes the meaning of the sentence totally. Be careful of this!

A good way to practise this part of the FCE exam is to get used to writing and re-writing sentences using different structures and without changing the meaning.

B2 First (FCE) Use of English Part 4: Tips & Strategy

B2 First (FCE) Use of English: Part 4  question type here is called key word transformation.

You must complete a new sentence that has a similar meaning. You use a word in capitals given in bold for each sentence, which you must not change.

Strategy

  1. Read the sentence carefully and think about its exact meaning.
  2. Check your tenses – if the first sentence is in the past tense, the second should be, too!
  3. Contractions (e.g. haven’t) count as two words.
  4. Try to keep the same meaning – If the first sentence says ‘Tom said…’ then don’t write ‘He said…’ in the second sentence. (Write ‘Tom said’.)
  5. Write between two and five words, including the word given.

Tips

Find things that are the same in both sentences and delete them. That helps you to focus on what you actually need to be transforming.

Because of the scoring system, it’s possible to get 50% in this section without getting any of the questions 100% correct. So it’s worth answering every question! Even incomplete answers can get points

Make absolutely sure that the two sentences mean the same thing. For example, if the sentence to transform has names in it, the answer will have to have them too.
