feet tall. That would make it the tallest tree in Canada. Randy set out to find the tree.
But someone else found it first. It was found by a logger. Loggers wanted to cut down
Canada’s tallest tree and all the trees around it.
Randy made a path in the forest so people could see the tall tree. The tree was so
big and beautiful it would fill them with awe. More and more people wanted to save that
forest. Thanks to these people, that forest is now a park. Canada’s tallest tree is still there.

22- Read the text and decide if the statements below are true or
false

Surviving on a desert island

Many of us occasionally think about living on a desert island, but

few ever have the chance to experience it. In the TV series

‘Survivor’, sixteen people do just that. For forty days they live

together and compete against each other on a tropical island, and

at the end of the contest the winner receives one million pounds.

This is an extract from the diary of one of the contestants, Mike

Foster.

‘When you think about living away from home, you imagine being in another city or even

another country, but travelling halfway round the world to a desert island in the Seychelles

is not something you consider. But now that I’m here, I must say that I absolutely love it.

The scenery is extremely beautiful – there are moments when you feel like staying here

forever.

‘Having said that, there are real difficulties. We all miss people back home – we’re so far

away from everything here – and we have disagreements and arguments. I’m finding it hard

to live without simple things, like soap and shampoo and a comfortable bed, and we’re having

some problems finding food, too. Catching fish is quite hard, especially when the sea is rough.

We’re getting a bit better at fishing but I have dreams

about eating hamburgers or chocolate biscuits!

‘One thing that’s obvious is that we’re all losing weight.

Everybody is looking fit and healthy. People won’t recognize

us when we get back to civilization!’

16
Are the sentences true or false?

1 Survivor contestants live on an island for almost six weeks. ______

2 Mike Foster won a prize of £1,000,000. ______

3 The contestants are getting on well together______

4 Mike is eating quite a lot of junk food. ______

Dear Tara,

I am having (have) a fantastic time in Florida. I am staying with my aunt and uncle and two cousins.

I have a long list of books to read before next term, but I’m not reading any of them! In fact, I’m

not using my brain at all!

Instead I am getting a tan and I am studying the art of total relaxation!

Right now I am sitting in the garden with my feet in the swimming pool. I am drinking a big

chocolate milkshake. The sun is shining and the birds are singing.

Every day we go to the beach. I am learning to water ski. Sometimes I borrow my cousins’ jet-ski.

It’s brilliant fun but the jet-ski makes a terrible noise. I’m afraid the people on the beach don’t

like it.

Are you having a nice time in Cambridge? Is your job at Patsy’s Pizzas OK? What time do you start

work every day? Do you get a free lunch at the restaurant? Is Martin working hard for his exams?

Write soon and tell me all your news.

Love,

Phil

Exercise 4
Last weekend my brother invited (invite) three friends to our house. Since they were playing (play)

a very noisy game, I decided to do my homework in the park. I found a quiet bench in the park and

sat down.

I was writing the first sentence of my English essay when an old lady sat down next to me. She

opened a plastic bag and started to throw bread on the ground. Suddenly there were about thirty

birds around us. They were making a terrible noise so I stopped writing and put my notebook and

pen down on the ground. I was watching the birds and thinking about my English essay when a boy

skated past very fast. He skated over my pen and broke it. I didn’t have another pen so I had to go

home to write my essay.

Exercise 5
Are you bored? Do you want life to be more dangerous (dangerous) than it is now? Use this

incredible invention to get anywhere, quickly! It’s the smallest type of transport in the world. It’s

the easiest way of travelling. It’s faster than walking or running and it’s safer than a skateboard.

The new WAP mobile phone is much better than a normal mobile phone: it connects to the internet

and you can phone anywhere in the world! It’s the best thing that you can buy for your personal

communication needs. It’s true that it’s more expensive than other mobiles, but it’s excellent.

Exercise 6
1. A rat is friendlier than a crocodile, but a monkey is the friendliest

2. A monkey is more dangerous than a rat, but a crocodile is the most dangerous

3. A monkey is smaller than a crocodile, but a rat is the smallest

4. A monkey is heavier than a rat, but a crocodile is the heaviest

5. A rat is more intelligent than a crocodile, but a monkey is the most intelligent

20
Exercise 7
Dear Sam,

I’m having an awful time at Camp Sun. Firstly, the sea is fat too cold to swim in unless you have a

wetsuit. And the swimming pool here at Camp Sun is too small to have a real swim. It’s only about 3

metres long! James and I lay on the beach yesterday but there were lots of clouds and the sun was

not strong enough to give us a tan. We couldn’t read our newspapers because it was too windy to

hold them and we both got sand in our eyes!

The jet-skis are too expensive to rent and the sea is not calm enough to learn to sail. We’re both

too nervous to try parascending. So we aren’t doing much! We are not old enough to rent motorbikes

(we’re only 16 and you have to be 17) and Camp Sun is 15 miles from the nearest village so it’s too

far to walk to it.

The Camp Sun café is OK but it’s often too crowded to get a seat there. We went to the camp disco

a few days ago but the girls were not sociable enough to talk or dance with us.

Sorry about this boring letter. Things can only get better, I suppose!

Best wishes,

Mark

Exercise 8
1. It isn’t safe enough / It is too dangerous

2. He is too slow / He isn’t fast enough

3. It is too quiet / It isn’t loud enough

4. It wasn’t difficult enough / It was too easy

5. She isn’t tall enough /She is too short

Exercise 9
Teacher: OK, class. Your/Yours sculptures are at the back of the classroom. Go and get them. Then

we will talk about them … Helga, your/yours is on my table. You left it here yesterday.

Helga: Thank you. I’d like to show my/mine sculpture to the class, Miss Brown.

Teacher: Yes, later. There is still one sculpture left at he back of the classroom. Whose is it?

Fred: That sculpture is my/mine, Miss Brown.

21
Teacher: OK, let’s start. We’ll look at Kelly’s sculpture first because she’s already finished

her/hers.

Peter: Look, Julie. Her/Hers sculpture is beautiful. Don’t you think so?

Julie: Yes, but we have done a good job, too and our/ours is bigger. Miss Brown. We’ve finished

our/ours sculpture, too.

Teacher: Yes, it’s very nice. Children, look at Peter and Julie’s sculpture. Their/Theirs sculpture is

big and interesting. But let’s not forget Helga’s. Her/Hers is very unusual . . .

Dear Michael,

Thank you very much for the card and flowers which have just arrived ([just/yet] arrive).

I have been in hospital for ten days now but I haven’t had time to get bored yet. Most of my

friends have visited me every day. In fact Laura has just left. Lisa hasn’t come yet but it’s hard for

her as she’s working and studying at the moment. Since I have been here, I have already read three

books – long ones – and I have written about sixteen letters.

Somebody has just turned on the TV. There’s an excellent comedy channel on it and there’s a Mr

Bean film on at the moment. I have already seen it and I don’t want to see it again, so I’ll continue

with this letter.

Have you bought a new windsurfer yet? Has Mr Jackson given you back the History projects? Has

your brother been to South America yet? Has Tom invited Maria out yet?

Write soon and tell me all the news.

Lots of love,

Rebecca

Laura: Yes. She had the baby weeks ago!

Chloe: What about Brett and Kylie? Have they started going out yet?

Laura: Brett and Kylie haven’t been in The Grove for about a month.

Chloe: Why not?

Laura: They had a terrible car accident on Kylie’s birthday and Brett died.

Chloe: That’s awful! What did Kylie do after the accident?

Laura: It was really sad. After the accident, Kylie went back to Australia. She
