The world today is constantly changing How can you, as teachers, ensure that your students are ready to face the future – a future in which most of them will work in jobs that don’t even exist yet? A teacher can empower students with the skills they need to succeed and thrive in that world Get Involved! will support you with this task as it gives teenagers the tools to build skills for the real world of the future Super skills: The World Economic Forum identified four competences that can equip today’s students to succeed The skills of collaboration, creativity, communication and critical thinking provide the foundations to be able to adapt and thrive in our changing world In addition to the 4Cs, social and emotional competences are essential to students’ development Our carefully crafted methodology allows students to develop these super skills while learning English.  Real-world competence: The real-world competencebased approach to learning uses factual content, peer review and self-reflection as well as scaffolded language skills to engage teens Reading texts focus on real-world people, places and events, and have been carefully selected to engage students in the topic, while critical thinking activities are structured from lower order thinking skills (remembering, understanding, applying) to higher order thinking skills (creating, evaluating, analysing) Collaborative projects: Each unit opens with a What you think?

We asked our listeners to suggest people who are amazing Daniel Hansen is here today to talk about the person he suggested So, Daniel … Who did you choose? And why? Daniel: I chose Jade Chapman She started a campaign to get secondary schools to Ex 6.d start teaching sign language She called the campaign ‘Let Sign Shine’ Deaf people use sign language to communicate There are about 87,000 deaf people in Britain but only about 151,000 people can use British Sign Language Jade couldn’t believe that you can study French, German and Spanish at just about any school, but nobody learns sign language She thought it was crazy! Especially because sign language became an official language in 2003 Interviewer: Really? It sounds like it’s time for a change Jade had a personal reason for her campaign, didn’t she? Who did she want to help? Ex 6.c Daniel: That’s right Her sister Laura is deaf and Jade wanted to support her Jade could see that it was difficult for Laura to everyday things such as going shopping or talking to friends 80% of young deaf people go to ordinary schools, but often they don’t have many friends Audioscript because they can’t communicate with other people It’s easy for deaf people to feel isolated Interviewer: So, when you learn sign language, you don’t just gain knowledge, you can actually change society? Daniel: Yeah, for sure Learning sign language can help deaf and hearing people feel more included Jade worked really hard and she Ex 6.f started an online petition She got over 5,000 people to sign the petition! That was pretty amazing Interviewer: What happened next? Ex 6.a Daniel: Jade won an award for her work! It was the Bernard Matthews Youth Award – it’s for young people who make a difference in their community The prize was £1,000 – but Jade didn’t spend it on herself Interviewer: What did she with the money? Ex 6.b Daniel: Well, she used it to pay for a language course at her old school … for people to learn British Sign Language The course lasted 13 weeks Jade loved the fact that at the end everyone could use basic signs and know what they meant Interviewer: So who took the course? Daniel: A mix of students and teachers at the school There were 20 places and they went really quickly It was really popular – that’s because of Jade! She was so enthusiastic about it, she encouraged people to do it Interviewer: What a great thing to do! So did Jade achieve her goal? Ex 6.e Daniel: Jade was in a national newspaper and on the local news She wanted more people to know about the problem, so I think she achieved her goal Grammar, exercise 3 p18 Teen girl: I’ve just watched this documentary about Lorde She’s incredible!

To celebrate our 50th episode, we’ve asked you, the listeners, to give us your top tips for learning languages … so let’s hear what you have to say! Listener 1: Hi, I’m Jacob from Cardiff Thanks for the podcast It’s really helped to motivate me! I want to tell you about this app I’ve found that helps with pronunciation It’s really easy to use; you just follow the instructions and you Ex 6.1 can record yourself too So now I use it every morning while I’m walking to school My French has definitely improved since I started using this app! Listener 2: Hello! I’m Anya from Poland and I’ve really enjoyed your podcast! Last year me and my friends set up an unusual kind of study group; we play in a band and we sing all the songs in Ex 6.2 English! We’ve already learnt about ten songs by heart and this has helped us so much! I definitely recommend singing in English! Listener 3: Hi there, I’m Cathy from Glasgow I’ve just started an online course in Turkish I’ve never done an online course before, but this one seems really good It only started last Ex 6.3 month so I’m still learning the basics, but I love watching the video tutorials It’s better than going to a class because I can it at a time that works for me Listener 4: Hello! I’m Rashid from London Ex 6.4 I started learning Mandarin in September My school is a specialist language academy so we can choose from Chinese, Russian or Arabic as well as French and Spanish I chose Chinese because it’s really useful – 20% of people in the world speak a form of Chinese! But it isn’t easy! You don’t have to know all the symbols, but I’m trying to learn the basics I’ve written them on sticky notes and put them everywhere! I haven’t learnt all the symbols yet, but I’m getting there! Listener 5: Hi, my name’s Nuala and I live in Dublin Thanks for the podcast – I’ve been a fan since the beginning!

Erin: No, not yet Class starts in five minutes Jake: How are you? Erin: Well, it looks like I’m more awake than you! What time did you go to bed? Jake: At ten o’clock! I didn’t stay up late I just couldn’t get to sleep … I mean, I was awake for ages, you know? Erin: Yeah, it’s because of melatonin Jake: Mela-what? Erin: I watched a documentary about it Ex 8.1 last night Lots of scientists are now saying teenagers should start school later … I mean, like over 10,000 experts! Anyway, the reason you feel sleepy is because your brain produces a hormone called melatonin Jake: Right? And? Erin: Well, when you’re a teenager, your brain starts producing it later, so it’s hard for teenagers to feel tired before 11 pm Jake: That’s exactly what happens to me … Ex 8.2 I start feeling tired at 11, but it takes me a while to relax and then I go to sleep around midnight But then I have to get up at am I always wake up tired! I love the weekends when I don’t have to get up early Erin: Yeah, so the experts suggested starting Ex 8.3 school later … because teenagers need to sleep between eight and ten hours a night, but we never … because of the melatonin thing Jake: So, school should start at, what, 10 am? Brilliant I get to stay in bed longer Ex 8.4 Erin: Umm … I think they said school shouldn’t start before 8:30 am! But we start at am now, so it would only be 30 minutes later There are lots of reasons for starting later It’s hard to concentrate when you haven’t slept enough Starting school later helps prevent accidents, too Audioscript Jake: Right I nearly fell off my bike this morning because I was half asleep! I couldn’t concentrate Erin: Typical! What was I saying? Jake: You were talking about reasons for starting later and getting enough sleep Erin: Oh, yeah … the research shows that if you regularly don’t sleep enough, your studies suffer – you don’t so well at school, and exams and tests seem harder You’re also more likely to have health problems and take silly risks Jake: Wow, I didn’t realise it was that serious But there are things you can to help you sleep better Erin: Like what? Ex 8.5 Jake: Well, switch off all electronics at least an hour before you go to bed And your room should be dark, so use thick curtains to stop light coming through the windows Erin: Yeah, I do that What else? Jake: Talk through any problems so you’re not Ex 8.6 lying awake thinking about them … and cut out sugary foods and fizzy drinks before bed Erin: Cool I’m interested in finding out more about how to sleep well – you know any good websites? Jake: Yeah, I’ll send you the links Erin: Thanks … right, time for class Wake up now! Unit 24 Vocabulary and Listening, exercises 6, and 8 p53 Lidia: Good afternoon everyone Imagine a world without plastic Hard to imagine, isn’t it? But today, I’m going to tell you about an innovative product that could bring us one step nearer to living without plastic It could replace plastic bottles Over 20,000 plastic bottles are produced every second … yes, that’s every second! Almost always, people use them once and then throw them away Only around 50% of them Ex 8.1 are recycled, and just 7% are made into new bottles Instead, most plastic bottles end up in landfill or in the sea Every year, between and 13 million tonnes of bottles reach the sea where they kill fish and other sea life The demand for water-on-the-go – water you can carry with you – isn’t going to end Ex 8.2 Now, Skipping Rocks Lab wants to solve the problem It’s a company which aims to produce alternatives to plastic bottles, cups and plates Their first product is called Ooho and it’s a small round ball of water It doesn’t come in a plastic container In fact, the packaging is edible – that means you can eat it! It’s basically water you can eat! The outside is made with natural materials which don’t harm the environment – they use plants and seaweed to make the packaging, like a ‘skin’ that holds the water People who have tried them say the packaging skin doesn’t have a taste: you only taste the water An Ooho is easy to use All you have to is pick up one of the water balls and put it in your mouth! This product is really practical because it doesn’t create rubbish Best of all it’s Ex 8.4 inexpensive – in fact it’s cheaper to make than plastic! The designers are still working on the product, though At the moment, they can only produce 2,000 Oohos a day and the Oohos don’t stay fresh for long They can’t sit on shop shelves for months like plastic bottles So what people think of the product? The designers have tested Oohos out in London, the city where they’re based All the results so far have been very positive – everyone who has tried an Ooho loved it! The product has Ex 8.5 already won several awards They plan to sell it at big events such as the London Marathon and Glastonbury music festival Ex 8.6 If you like, you can make Ooho ‘bottles’ yourself at home! The packaging skin is quite simple to make When the inventors of Ooho put a video on YouTube, the response was incredible – millions of people watched it Then some of the people who had watched it made their own videos They even improved the recipe for the packaging! Will there ever be a day when we don’t use plastic bottles at all? I hope so, and Ooho and products like it are bringing us closer to that possibility Thanks for listening Now If there are any questions … Unit 28 Vocabulary, exercise 4 p60 Emma: So, what you think, Dan? Dan: It’s a classic, isn’t it? I think it’s brilliant! Emma: Do you? Why?

I think I prefer abstract art Ex 4.2 133 Audioscript Dan: But they didn’t have abstract art in the 16th century, did they?! I like it – and it’s quite colourful It’s not as dark as some of these old paintings Ex 4.3 Emma: Yeah – I’m not saying it’s ugly I just think it’s a bit boring, you know – I mean, it’s not very original Just another portrait … Dan: I think it’s quite funny, actually I mean, the way she’s smiling It’s quite mysterious! Ex 4.1 Emma: Who was she anyway, this ‘Mona Lisa’? Dan: Well, it says here that her name was Lisa Gherardini … she was Italian … Emma: Yeah, that makes sense, ’cause Leonardo da Vinci painted it, didn’t he? Dan: Yeah It’s a lot smaller than I thought it would be, though I imagined it would be much bigger! Emma: Yes, me too! 29 Vocabulary, exercise 5 p61 The astronaut Buzz Aldrin took the first space selfie in 1966 Makati City in the Philippines is the ‘selfie capital of the world’ The first ever self-portrait was painted by the 21-year-old Italian artist Parmigianino in 1524 The average age of selfie takers is 23.6 and is getting younger Thirty-six per cent of young people admit that they retouch or add filters to their selfies before they share them online Women take more selfies than men You aren’t allowed to use a selfie-stick at Disney parks or the Colosseum in Rome 32 Vocabulary and Listening, exercises and 6 p65 Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to the Virtual art tour Here you can find out about some of the world’s greatest artworks!

The first question is from Yuki, who asks ‘Have you got many social media profiles?’ Do you know what, Yuki? I haven’t Apart from my video channel, I’ve only got one other profile and that’s for, like, 50–60 friends I don’t post very often, and my privacy settings are really strong If you look for me, you probably won’t find me! That’s the same as around 60 per cent of teenagers, who set their profile to private But there are some people who don’t even know how to that Better get learning guys or it’s game over for you! Next question is from Lukas ‘If you could have only one app, what would it be?’ Excellent question! I use apps for everything I use them for communication, travel, news, photos, videos … even ordering food! But if I chose one, it would be my instant messaging app That’s how I communicate with everyone! So, I need my smartphone And that’s very typical for teens In fact, 95 per cent of us have got a smartphone! OK, let’s go to the last question Steffi asks: ‘If you could, would you like to spend less time online?’ Apparently, almost 50 per cent of teenagers say they are online constantly I’m not one of them! But I go online every day and if I didn’t, I would find it difficult Maybe I should try a digital detox! Er, no way … I didn’t like that! But what about you? Do you use lots of apps?

Oli: Oh, yeah! Eva: Headline number one – Man arrested for aggressive mopping Headline number two – Man arrested for furious window cleaning Headline number three – Man arrested for angry hoovering Oli: I really don’t know OK, I’ll choose number three Maybe a neighbour was making lots of noise, so he started hoovering loudly as revenge?

Newspapers and websites reported that a man in Connecticut became angry when he noticed a cleaner wasn’t cleaning properly He stole the mop and started cleaning the floor aggressively!

Oliver: Right ‘Police in Seville have arrested a group of thieves after they tried to escape in the middle of the night A witness told reporters that when police 143 Videoscript ordered the crazy criminals to get out of their cars, millions of oranges fell out of the vehicles.’ Amelia: Can you spot the differences? The people suddenly become ‘thieves’ and the crime takes place in the middle of the night There’s nothing in the first version that says that Oliver: Yeah, and 4,000 kilograms of oranges are suddenly millions Amelia: And falling out of their cars! There were only three cars in total, but the second article doesn’t say this, and it makes it sound like there were a lot more cars Oliver: Right So, you see, you need to read closely and between the lines Amelia: The news is not always what it seems 144
