,&2 Revise and Check
e are two pages of revision and consolidation after
1 two Files. The first page revises the grammar,
bulary, and pronunciation of the two Files. These
rises can be done individually or in pairs, in class or
•me, depending on the needs of your Sts and the class
available. The second page presents Sts with a series
ills-based challenges. First, there is a reading text
:h is of a slightly higher level than those in the File, but
:h revises grammar and vocabulary Sts have already
at. Then Sts can watch or listen to five unscripted street
rviews, where people are asked questions related to
topics in the File. You can find these on the Class DVD,
ils, and Class Audio (audio only). Finally, there is a
iking challenge, which measures Sts' ability to use the
juage of the File orally. We suggest that you use some or
jf these activities according to the needs of your class.
PRONUNCIATION
tddition, there is a short documentary film available on
Class DVD and iTools on a subject related to one of the
ics of the Files. This is aimed at giving Sts enjoyable
ra listening practice and showing them how much
.y are now able to understand. Sts can find all the video
went and activities on the iTutor.

Emma
I = interviewer, E = Emma
I What do you like eating when you're feeling a bit down?
E Chocolate, I think it's very, a bit of a cliche^ but I'm a girl and I like
chocolate, and that's probably where I go to. Or ice cream as
well, chocolate ice cream is probably the ideal, the ideal food.
I Does it make you feel better?
E It makes me feel better temporarily, when it's in my mouth, but
then about ten minutes later I usually feel quite sick.
Andrew
I = interviewer, A = Andrew
I How often do you eat out?
A Lately I've been eating out a lot, but I try not to eat out to save
money.
I What kind of places do you go to?
A I like any kind of Asian food, and steak is good, but it's kind of
expensive.
I Why do you like these kinds of restaurants?
A I like them because they're different. I like to cook, and the food
is different from the things that I know how to make.
Ben
I = interviewer, B = Ben
I Do you have brothers and sisters?
B I've got one brother. He's four years younger than me.
I How well do you get on with him?
B Oh, very well, very well. We went to school together, we rowed
together, we've done sport together, we've been on holiday
together. So yeah, we get on well.
Zenobia
I = interviewer, Z = Zenobia
I Are you a spender or a saver?
Z I'm a very big spender.
I Can you give examples?
Z Bags. I have a weakness for bags. I love designer bags, and
when I see something in the shops which is on sale, and it's half
price or reduced, all my savings for the last three months will
go on that item. So bags is a weakness - bags, bags, bags.
Simone
I = interviewer, S = Simone
I Have you ever taken part in a charity event?
S Yes, when I was younger I took part in a charity bike ride, and I
cycled round a park for as long as I could, and I earned quite a
lot of money, for an eight-year-old, to do that.
I What was it for?
S It was arranged by a TV show called Blue Peter and it was for
their charity, so I don't know where they spent the money, but it
was for Blue Peter.
I How much money did you raise?
S About £100 roughly, when I was about eight, so that was nice.

Christopher
I = interviewer, C = Christopher
I How do you get to work?
C I take the subway every day. I take two trains. I live in Brooklyn.
I take a train from Brooklyn to Washington Square. And then I
switch to a train that takes me to midtown Manhattan.
I How long does it take?
C It takes about 30 to 40 minutes.
I What do you think is the best way to get around New York?
C I think subways are an excellent way to get around New York.
They serve all five boroughs and they're open 24 hours a day, so
they're very convenient and they don't get stuck in traffic.
Maria
I = interviewer, M = Maria
I Do you think women are better than men with young children,
or do you think that's just a stereotype?
M I think women are, they have a, they're more natural with young
children, they have a natural ability with them, they're better at
sort of knowing what they need, and perhaps knowing if they
need hugs or food or things like that, and perhaps their manner
is better with young children. I think men can do it, but perhaps
it takes a bit more practice.
Harry
I = interviewer, H = Harry
I Some new research says that men talk just as much as women.
Do you think that's true?
H I definitely think that's true. I would say that I know men who
talk more than women talk, especially in my family it's the men
who do most of the talking, especially repeating the same story
time and time again.
I Do you think men and women talk about different things?
H Yes, I think they do talk about different things. I think they
have different interests, and so they will try and control the
conversation to topics that interest them rather than everyone
else.
Sean
I = interviewer, S = Sean
I Is there anything you've tried to learn, but failed?
S I'm having real problems with yoga, to be honest. I've been
going to lessons for about three years now, and I'm still not
making much progress, and I still can't touch my toes.
I Have you stopped trying?
S No, I'm still trying.
Liz
I = interviewer, L = Liz
I Is there anything that people do with their phones that really
annoys you?
L I personally get quite annoyed by the fact that nowadays most
people seem to have to have their phones out with them all
the time, including in social situations like when you're in the
pub or at someone's house for dinner, and people seem to think
it's fine to just mess around on their phones. Not necessarily
make phone calls, but just kind of play with their phones, check
Facebook on their phones. I don't know, it seems to become
quite standard behaviour now - that's what people do.
CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THIS TEXT?
a It was a classical concert. Someone's mobile phone rang.
b 1 It rang during the fourth movement. It was a marimba riff.
2 No.
3 a) The audience members were horrified. A lot of people
stood up. They wanted the man with the phone to leave,
b) They applauded him.
4 No.
5 No, he started a bit before the place where he had stopped
the performance.
6 Yes.

Maria
I = interviewer, M =Maria
I Do you prefer doing sport or watching it?
M That's quite a difficult question, I think maybe, I like both, but
maybe I prefer watching sport because I can watch a wide
variety then.
I What sport do you do?
M Oh, I go running - 5K, 10K, that's the most I'll do.
I What sports do you most like watching?
M I most like watching Formula 1 and athletics.
I Why?
M Formula 1,1 don't know, I got into it because my dad used to
watch it and so I watched it at the same time and now I just, I
keep up with it and I'm interested in the people that do it, and
things like that, so yeah. And the athletics because I run, so
there's a connection there.
Adrian
I = interviewer, A = Adrian
I Do you know anyone who has gone out with someone they met
on the internet?
A Yes, I do. I know of a couple of people.
I How did it work out?
A One person, an old friend of mine, it didn't work out that well
because the person I think looked better on the internet than
they did in real life. And the second person, they went on and
got married, so I think it can work well.
Ryder
I interviewer, R = Ryder
I Have you ever cheated in an exam?
R Yes, many.
I How did you cheat?
R Oh, I've used all different types of techniques. Sometimes I've
written things on my palm, other times I've just put a book on
my lap, sometimes I've put answers on my cell phone, but it was
only for subjects that I really didn't like and I knew that would
never have anything to do with my career, so I didn't feel bad
about cheating on a maths test.
I Were you caught?
R I don't think I've ever been caught, no. I'm really good at it.
Helen
I = interviewer, H = Helen
What's your favourite film of all time?
My favourite film is Dirty Dancing.
How many times have you seen it?
Probably about 25.
Why do you like it so much?
Because it has romance, it has dancing, which I like, and it has
nice, good-looking men.
Liz
|: • interviewer, L = Liz
I Do you have a profile photo?
L I do, yes.
What is it?
It is a picture of me wearing a silly hat at a hat party.
Why did you choose it?
Just because it was quite funny, and I look quite strange in it,
but I think it's probably a bit more exciting to have that than
just a standard pose.

I Do you think children learn better in mixed schools or single-sex
schools?
L Interesting one. I went to a mixed primary school and a singlesex secondary school. In terms of learning I think I probably was
better off in a single-sex school.
I Why?
L Lack of distraction.
Ian
I = interviewer, la = Ian
I Do you prefer buying in shops or online?
la It depends what it is. If I know what I want and I can find it on
the internet, then the convenience is great, so I like that. But if
I don't know what I want, and certainly if it's like clothes which I
want to try on, then I'd prefer actually going to a shop.
Simon
I = interviewer, S = Simon
I Have you ever sold anything online?
S Yes, I have sold on eBay.
I What was it?
S I sold a couple of things -1 sold a computer scanner and a
camera.
I Did you get what you wanted for it?
S Yes, I think so, I set a fairly, what I thought was a fairly realistic
price for them, and I got what I expected.
Joe
I = interviewer, J = Joe
I If you could change one thing about your flat, what would it be?
J Right now we don't have any artwork up on the walls, so I would
definitely want to get some more pictures or maybe a couple of
paintings to put up.
I Why would you change it?
J The walls are just really bare, so it doesn't feel very inviting
when people come over, it just looks very, very plain.
Simone
I = interviewer, Si = Simone
I What's more important to you about a job, having a good salary
or doing something you really enjoy?
Si Definitely doing something I really enjoy.
I Why?
Si Doing the course I study at university, I could become a banker,
but I don't want to because I don't think I'd enjoy that even
though I'd earn lots of money, so I want to do something I enjoy.

stop so that she could get a taxi home.
Harry
I = interviewer, H = Harry
I Do you think we rely too much on technology?
H Definitely think people nowadays rely on technology far too
much.
I Why?
H I think people are very afraid of being without a mobile
phone, and not being able to contact other people, and
they don't have the same skills that people used to have,
the ability to read a map, the ability to live without a mobile
phone.
I Are there any gadgets you just couldn't live without?
H I think the gadget that I would find hardest to give up is
actually a mobile phone because when I go for long bike
rides I like to know that I've got a phone with me, in case my
bike falls apart, I get a puncture, and I need to call for help.
Sean

I Do you like detective or mystery novels or TV series?
S I do, yes.
I Do you have a favourite author or detective?
S I do like Raymond Chandler and the Philip Marlowe
character.

S I don't, but I don't usually try to. I think I quite like just to
wait, and find out what happens.
Isobel
I = interviewer, Is = Isobel
I Do you have a favourite designer?
Is I think my favourite designer is Alexander McQueen, who's
a clothing designer, though it's too expensive, so I can't buy
any of the clothes, but I like looking at pictures of them.
I What do you like about his clothes?
Is Because they are very very unusual and very, they use lots
of interesting materials and they are different designs,
they're not just using designs from the past.
Giles
I = interviewer, G = Giles
I Do you think you are generally a lucky person?
G Yes, I suppose I think I possibly am a lucky person, I certainly
wouldn't count myself as unlucky, but I haven't won the
lottery yet, but I'm enjoying life and I think that's possibly as
lucky as you can hope to be.
Can you think of a time when you've been really lucky?
G Yes, I was very lucky when I was on holiday in Australia, and
I was due to catch my flight back to England, but I turned up
a day late and I'd missed it, but luckily there was one spare
space on the plane leaving that day and they were able to
put me on it.
