C ridiculous!

2 Match messages (A-C) to the replies below (1–3).

1 ____ 2 ____ 3 ____

That’s a real sign of trouble.
Not only will your friendship
suffer, but you’ll start to forget
how to communicate in the
real world. Make a date to see
your friend face to face. Book
tickets to go to the cinema, or
plan to go shopping. You can
still chat online, but you should
try to see each other in person
at least once a week.
Oh dear – this sounds like
true addiction. But remember
many teenage boys are
uncommunicative, so don’t
feel too bad! Send him text
messages and emails, but talk
to him too – even if he doesn’t
answer you! Keep trying. I’m
sure as he gets older, he’ll
become less addicted to the
computer. Try not to worry!
Well, that is pretty serious!
What’s going to happen
when you need to address an
envelope or fill in an important
form? Limit the number of
hours each day you spend
typing, and try to start writing
with a pen more. Maybe
you could write a diary, or
send your friends and family
greeting cards.

3 Work in pairs. You are going to roleplay a conversation between a social networking
addict and a friend. Decide who is Student A and who is Student B.
Student A: Read the problems below and think of the advice you can give for each problem.
Student B: Read the problems below and choose which problem you have.
Problem 1:
You invite everyone you meet to become a virtual friend. You now have 200 virtual friends
and it takes 20 minutes to read all the names. You only really know 15 of the people.
Problem 2:
You like dating online. You invite your boyfriend / girlfriend to virtual dates, such as an
online walk through a park. The only kisses he / she gets are online, and you last saw
him / her in real life two weeks ago. Your boyfriend / girlfriend isn’t happy.

4 Roleplay the conversation. Did the addict get good advice?

PET Breakfasts around
the world
1 Look at the list of food. Tick the items you usually have for breakfast.
Add any items which are missing to the list.

bacon bread rolls butter cereal coffee fish fresh fruit fried eggs jam juice lentils
milk pancakes potatoes rice sausages spaghetti sugar tea toast yoghurt

2 Read the text and match the pictures (1–5) to the paragraphs (A–E).

Breakfasts around the world

As you sit down to have your usual breakfast, you may think that everyone else in the world is having
something similar. In fact, the variety of things eaten in the morning is actually quite surprising …

1 In Russia, for example, breakfast is a big meal. Many people eat black bread or blinis – a kind
of pancake. Sausages, fried eggs and cheese are typical accompaniments. Some Russians eat a
cereal called kasha. This is usually eaten hot with a soft cheese or sour cream, rather than milk.
The most popular drink is very strong black tea. A ____

2 In China, people eat breakfast very early in the morning. Dishes are different in every region,
but the meal is usually similar to lunch or dinner – rice with vegetables or meat, pancakes,
soup, and noodles. The Chinese do drink a lot of tea, but they don’t usually drink tea with
breakfast. Instead, liquid at breakfast comes from soup. B ____

3 Breakfast isn’t a big meal in Greece. Most people start the day with a coffee, which is usually
served black, in tiny cups, with or without sugar. They may have something small to eat as well
such as fresh fruit and yogurt, or a grilled roll. More common, however, is the Greek custom of a
midmorning kolatsio or snack – often a pastry or bread with meat or cheese. C ____

4 As you would expect, considering the country’s links with England, the Australian breakfast is
very similar to breakfast in the United Kingdom – bacon, eggs, toast with butter and jam, cereal
with milk, and tea or coffee. There are, however, some very Australian additions, such as toast
with Vegemite, a black salty spread, or tropical fruits. D ____

5 Like China, the Indian breakfast is different depending on the region. It can be simple fresh
fruit, or spicy dishes made from rice, potatoes, onions, vegetables or beans. The Hindi breakfast
dish khichri is made with a mixture of rice, lentils and spices. Although tea is generally more
popular in India, in the south, coffee is the most common drink at breakfast time. E ____

3 Work in pairs. Student A: choose one of the breakfasts in Activity 2. Student B:

ask and answer yes / no questions to guess which breakfast your partner has chosen.
Student B: Does it contain eggs? Student B: Does it include fruit?
Student A: No. Student A: Yes.
Student B: Is it made from rice flour? Student B: Is it the Greek breakfast?
Student A: No. Student A: Yes.

4 Work in small groups and discuss the following:

• Which of the breakfasts above have you tried?

• Which would you like to try?
• Which is most similar to your usual breakfast?

5 Share the results of your discussion with the class.
