For four days each year, the city of Rio de Janeiro comes1 alive with the sights and sounds of its

parade from one end of the Sambadrome to the other. Apart from dancers, there are8 drums and
floats, and it’s9 a very noisy event to watch. Participants sing10, clap11, and shout12 as they

9 Exercise 9, The Colour Red (page 24)
Red is the colour of blood, which flows energetically through the hearts of those in love1. In Europe,
young men traditionally present a bouquet of red roses to their loved ones on St. Valentine’s Day. At
Christmas, red is used in decorations, and Santa Claus wears scarlet-red clothing2. In India, the
colour red signifies vitality, courage3, and self-confidence. Brides wear bright red silk saris. They need
courage to leave their parents’ house! They also wear beautiful gold wedding jewellery4. Their hands
and feet are beautifully decorated with mehndi, a red paste that symbolizes the love of a bride for her
husband. Red is also the traditional colour for brides in China. There it symbolizes happiness5 and
good luck6. The Chinese use red paper7 to wrap gifts of money8. In Japan, red has a vital meaning:
life9. In some parts of Africa, red has a negative meaning: death10! In the western hemisphere,
advertising companies use the colour red to encourage people to buy products and it is also used for
danger signs. Red is certainly a very important colour.

so many2 accessories too! She really doesn’t have much3 space for all these things. Why does she
need so much4 jewellery? Cleaning out her wardrobe would take too much5 time!
Exercise 17, Z as in Zoo (page 28)
Cellphones are everywhere. In the shopping malls, in the supermarkets, even in the public
library, they ring constantly—and people walk around chatting, fighting, even swearing! These
social changes can lead to dangerous behaviour. People speak on the phone while they’re
driving, even though it is illegal. Maxing out credit cards is the addiction of shopaholics. Some
people need coffee fixes or cigarette puffs to relieve stress. Others are addicted to dangerous
activities like extreme sports or drag racing. Many people watch soap operas on TV or follow the
lives of celebrities on the Internet. Psychological complexes can cause irrational dependences.
Some fans stalk their idols. Gambling, overeating, and oversleeping: addictions come in many
forms. Do genetics play a role in obsessive behaviour? I guess one day the scientists will tell us!

your apartment soon. It will be nice to get to know each other/one another4. If it’s a success, then my
couch in Los Angeles can be your couch! Thanks, Tom.

Nadine: Patrick said the car dealership had a shipment recently. That old, black pickup truck over

Jackie and I went downtown today to go window-shopping. It was very tiring because Jackie kept
asking questions. Which1 brand name is better? Who2 is your favourite designer? What3 do you think
of this dress? Which4 leather jackets are the trendiest? I had to tell her that my head was aching. She
was quiet for a while, but then she started asking more questions! What5 do you usually take for a
headache? Which6 natural remedy do you prefer—mint tea or coffee?

Exercise 7, Mutual Attraction (page 58)
From a biological point of view, this may be a good thing. If a tall, slim, introverted young woman
has entered into a relationship with a shorter, muscular, and outgoing young man, it is possible
that their children will inherit a greater array of skills. When the genetic pool has become smaller,
as it has in isolated areas of the world, children are at greater risk for genetic diseases. Some
cultures treasure family ties so much that their preference for a mate is someone who belongs to
the same tribe. In the past, nomadic tribes roamed across the world and relied on members of
their group for support and protection. I have often thought that even now, in our modern
societies, we are all looking for the same care and security in a relationship.
Exercise 8, Déjà Vu (page 58)
Have you (feel) felt1 that you (see) have seen2 someone before, even though you are meeting

forgotten3 the day that I first met my husband. It was a warm September evening and it was the first
day of school. As he was walking past my classroom, he looked in through the door. I was standing at
the desk, the only student in the room. Our eyes met. Until this day, I (see, never) have never seen4
such soft and gentle eyes. We both had the same reaction: I know this person. I (meet) have met5 this
person before. We (be) have been6 together ever since that wonderful day. I (think, not) haven’t
thought7 about another man since.

Exercise 14, Lasting Impressions (pages 72 and 73)
The Impressionists were a group of artists who wanted to paint more realistic scenes of normal
people in their everyday lives. They also painted scenes of natural beauty in a less controlled way
24 REAL, Real English Authentic Learning, Student Answer Key 2 Reproduction Prohibited © Chenelière Education Inc. than earlier painters. They gave an impression of the scene, not an exact, formal copy of what
they saw. Pierre-Auguste Renoir was an early Impressionist who is more well-known for his
extremely realistic portraits of rosy-cheeked young girls enjoying everyday activities. The people
he painted are amazingly alive. You feel you are in the picture with them. You sense the intimacy
of the atmosphere and the intense concentration of the girls.
Georges Seurat came in the middle of the Impressionist period. He introduced an innovative
technique of painting with dots of colour. He slowly applied tiny brushstrokes of contrasting
colours. You can only see the dots when you get close up to the painting. His brightly-coloured
landscapes are very soft and pleasing. Just imagine how long it would take him to paint one
picture!
Claude Monet was a master painter of stunningly beautiful scenes of nature. He belongs
to the late Impressionist period and liked painting famous buildings. He often painted the same
building at different times of day and in all kinds of weather, just to see how changing
atmospheric conditions could drastically transform the character of the building.

Exercise 12, Okinawa Aquarium (page 93)
The islands of1 Japan are constantly threatened by2 earthquakes. Okinawa Aquarium was built to
withstand strong shocks from3 the ocean floor. It has the world’s largest acrylic panel. The only
danger is that the rough skin of4 the whale sharks scratches the surface of5 the panel. The Tropical
Dream Centre is a magnificent botanical collection of6 tropical trees and flowers. This aquarium

feel so very much at8 home that they send out their eggs for9 fertilization just as if they were in10 the
ocean.

South American continent. When we get off 4 the small local airplane, our first impression is of 5 flat
plains with dark mountains in the distance. We set off 6 to visit a sheep farm. The people at the farm
are bilingual, and speak Spanish and Welsh. The Celtic influence has survived in the small towns of 7
this remote area of 8 Argentina. We have tea and cakes in a typical Welsh tea room and drive back to
the airstrip. Our plane takes off 9 just as the sun is setting and we all admire the magnificent beauty

36 REAL, Real English Authentic Learning, Student Answer Key 2 Reproduction Prohibited © Chenelière Education Inc. Exercise 10, Paradise (page 114)
Since ancient times, writers have tried to describe places where people are eternally happy. What
would you expect the ideal place to be like? If I invented the perfect world, it would 1 be a place where
people lived in eternal peace. In 1933, James Hilton described a fictitious land where people were
permanently happy, called Shangri-La. If you (live) lived 2 in this earthly paradise, you would live
happily to an extremely old age. The word “paradise” comes from an old Persian word meaning walled
garden or nature reserve. People who know the religious traditions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam
may think of the Garden of Eden or Jannah as a place of perfection. If you reached the beautiful
garden of Heaven, you would/could 3 live free of worry, pain, and sickness. What more could you ask
for in the perfect place? If you (be) were 4 a Buddhist or Hindu, you would argue that Heaven is not a
place, but a state of mind. Some people believe that a person can reach perfect happiness or Nirvana
through deep meditation. If you see a traditional Zen garden, you (notice) will notice 5 that it is a
mixture of small and large rocks, and trees. Some people say that a beautiful garden is truly paradise
on Earth!
