did it as a job.

Anthony : You have already been to Egypt, haven’t you?

Ms Lucky : Yes, I have. I’ve seen the pyramids many times. It is really worth seeing.

Anthony : You have written books, haven’t you?

Ms Lucky : Yes, I have. I wrote two guide books and I’ve just finished a book about Türkiye.

Back to the Past 

Listen to the conversation between the teenage boy and his mother. Check your guesses in activity 2. (Audio 5.1)

(Audio 5.1)

Tom: Hello, Mum!

Mum: Tom! You’ve come home at last!

Thank God you’re all right. I’ve felt too worried

about you. You’re so late. I couldn’t contact

you all day. Why did you keep me on pins and

needles?

Tom: Sorry, Mum, but it was a terrible

day. I’m happy it finally ended.

Mum: Why? What happened?

Tom: I’ll tell you all from the beginning.

Mum: OK. I’m all ears.

Tom: First, I missed the school bus in the

morning. I got anxious as I had a chemistry

exam in the first lesson, so I had to take a

taxi, but I spent almost all of my pocket money

on it. If I had left home earlier, I could have

caught the school bus, and if I had caught it, I

wouldn’t have taken a taxi and I wouldn’t have

wasted so much money.

Mum: Yes. You should wake up earlier

from now on.

Tom: You’re right, Mum. I wish I had

woken up earlier. And when I got to school, I

realized that I had forgotten to take my mobile

phone with me, so I couldn’t contact anyone

today. I would have called you if I had had my

mobile.

Mum: I see.

Tom: Then my best friend Jason got very

ill during the last lesson. He had to go home,

and I went with him because I didn’t want to

leave him alone. If he hadn’t felt so bad, I

wouldn’t have gone there with him.

Mum: OK, Tom. You did the right thing.

Did he get well later on?

Tom: Yes. He was feeling better when I

left him with his parents.

Mum: Great.

Tom: Yes. I got so relieved. But Mum,

that’s not all.

Mum: Really?

Tom: Yes. As I didn’t have any money

left, I had to walk home. That’s why I’m so

late. If I had had some money left, I would

have got on a bus to come home.

Mum: Oh, Tom! You’ve really had a

terrible day.

Listen to the teenagers and fill in the
blanks. (Audio 5.2)

(Audio 5.2)

Speaker 1:

When I came home yesterday, I started

to play an online game. I didn’t realize that a

few hours had passed. My father got furious

and said I usually wasted my time on trivial

things. Unfortunately, we had a big argument,

so we spent an awful evening. I wish I hadn’t

shouted at my father. Now I feel really sorry. If

I’d finished the game earlier, we’d have had a

nice evening.

Speaker 2:

Last Friday we took an English exam.

I’d studied really hard, so I was answering

the questions easily. Suddenly, I realized

that I’d written a word wrongly. I couldn’t find

my eraser, so I asked my friend for hers.

The teacher saw that, and she thought I was

cheating. I tried to tell her the truth, but she

didn’t believe me. As a result, I failed. If I’d

found my eraser, I’d have passed the exam.

Speaker 3:

I’m crazy about basketball, and I’m in

the school team. Before I went to the school

gym for the training last Saturday, I’d joined

a birthday party. All my classmates were

there, so I couldn’t leave early. That was a

big mistake. Before I got there, the team had

started to train. The coach was very angry. I

tried to explain, but he didn’t listen. Finally, he

sent me home. If I’d got to the gym in time, I’d have joined the training.

Workbook

(Audio 5.4)

Teacher: OK, class. Today we’re talking

about regrets. Now I want you to tell us

something which you did or didn’t do and then

you felt sorry about. Yes, Michael.

Michael: My sister and I wanted

to celebrate our parents’ 20th wedding

anniversary last Friday, and we decided to

eat out together. My sister suggested the

Mexican restaurant, but I thought it would be

wonderful to try the new Chinese restaurant,

and finally, we went there. However, the

Chinese restaurant was terrible. I wish I had

accepted my sister’s idea. If we had gone to

the Mexican restaurant, we would have had a

better time.

Teacher: Thanks, Michael. Yes, Doris.

Doris: When I was 15, I used to have too

many hamburgers, fizzy drinks, and so on.

As a result, I put on lots of weight. That made

me really depressed. After that, I had to go

on a strict diet for months. I wish I hadn’t had

unhealthy eating habits. If I hadn’t eaten so

much junk food, I wouldn’t have put on weight.

Teacher: Thank you, Doris. Yes, Alan.

What about you?

Alan: Our biology teacher organized

an environmental campaign last year. Our

group had to clean the park near the school.

Everybody tried hard to clean it, but I sat

under a tree and watched some videos on my

mobile. Finally, the teacher thanked us all very

much. I felt really embarrassed because I had

been dishonest. I wish I had joined the clean-

up campaign. If I had helped my friends clean

the park, I wouldn’t have felt embarrassed.

Teacher: Thanks, Alan.

Theme 6 - Open Your Heart 

Listen to the conversations and match them with the speech bubbles.

There’s an extra speech bubble. (Audio 6.1)

Conversation 1:

Susan: David, what’s the matter with you?

David: Oh, Susan. I feel so bad.

Susan: Why? If you have a problem, I can

lend an ear. You can open your heart to me.

David: Well, my friends Bill and Tom came

to us this afternoon because we had to prepare

a slide show together for tomorrow’s geography

lesson. After we had finished it, Tom saw my

ball and started to play with Bill. Next, he hit the

ball very hard. Unfortunately, he broke the desk

lamp.

Susan: That was a big mistake, David.

They could’ve broken the TV, thank God that

didn’t happen. You shouldn’t have let your friends play inside.

David: Yes. You’re right. I wish I hadn’t.

Susan: Anyway, stop worrying. It’s no use

crying over spilt milk. Now let’s go to your room

and clean it before mum comes. And then you

should tell her the truth.

David: OK, Susan.

Conversation 2:

Tina: Hi, Mum.

Mum: Hi, Tina. Where have you been?

Tina: I went to the cinema with my friends

after school, and then we drank coffee.

Mum: But I talked to you last night. I said

your grandma missed you a lot, and then you

promised to visit her after school today. Don’t

you remember?

Tina: Oh, Mum! I completely forgot about

that. I’ve been so busy at school today.

Mum: That’s awful, Tina. You should’ve

visited your grandma. I phoned her this

morning. When I said you would visit her after

school, she got very happy. You shouldn’t have

forgotten about that.

Tina: I wish I hadn’t.

Mum: She was waiting for you. I’m sure

she felt disappointed.

Tina: Mum, I’m very sorry. I’ll phone

her now. And I’ll say I’ll definitely visit her

tomorrow.

Conversation 3:

Sophie: Hey, Mark. How’s it going?

Mark: Hi, Sophie. I don’t feel well today.

Sophie: Why? What’s wrong?

Mark: Well, I did something wrong

yesterday afternoon. And I broke my mum’s

heart.

Sophie: Really? What did you do?

Mark: When I came home from school,

mum was doing the housework. She was

exhausted and asked me to help her. But I didn’t

want to. So I told her a lie. I said I had lots of

homework. An hour later, she came to my room

and saw that I was lying in bed and listening to

music on my mobile. She got very sad.

Sophie: I’m afraid you made a big mistake.

Mark: Yes, you’re right, Sophie. I shouldn’t

have told a lie to my mum. That was so

embarrassing. I felt terrible. I should’ve helped

her with the cleaning.

Sophie: Absolutely! I think you should talk

to your mum and say you are sorry. I’m sure

she’ll understand you.

Listen to the phone conversation between a customer and a call center

worker. What is the customer’s problem? (Audio 6.3)

Call Center Worker (CCW): Good

morning. High Electronics. How may I help

you?

Martha: Good morning. I’m one of your

customers, and I need some help.

CCW: Could you say who’s calling,

please?

Martha: Martha Taylor.

CCW: Let me check, please. Yes, Mrs

Taylor, you bought a tablet from us 2 months

ago. Is that right?

Martha: Yes.

CCW: OK, Mrs Taylor. Could you please

describe the problem?

Martha: Well, after I had bought the

tablet, I didn’t have any problems until

yesterday. But while I was online yesterday

evening, the battery went dead. After that, I

couldn’t charge it again, so I can’t use it now.

What should I do?

Listen to the second part of the phone conversation and complete the

sentences (1-6) using the correct form of the phrases below. (Audio 6.4)

Martha: Would you please help me?

CCW: Certainly, Mrs Taylor. I would be

happy to help you. Several things might have

caused the problem. First of all, can you

answer some questions, please?

Martha: Yes, of course.

CCW: You should have placed the

charger into the socket properly. Are you sure

you did that?

Martha: Yes.

CCW: All right. The socket might have got

out of order. That may be the reason for the

problem. You should have tried using another

socket. Did you do that?

Martha: Yes, I did.

CCW: Then your charger must have had

some physical damage. That usually happens.

Martha: Really? I haven’t thought of it at all.

CCW: Yes. The USB cable might have

broken because of any misuse. I believe you

need some technical help, Mrs Taylor. I’ll talk

to our technical support team immediately

and give them all the information about your

problem. I’m sure they’ll contact you as soon

as possible.

Martha: Oh, that’s great. Thank you very

much.

CCW: You’re welcome, Mrs Taylor. Have

a good day.

Martha: Have a good day.
