Dear Reader,
I think you should see a
doctor. Mood swings in
teenagers can be dangerous,
therefore a visit to a
psychologist can help
determine the cause of your
depression. Don’t wait any
longer and get some
professional help immediately.
Yours truly,

Linking words
1. Read these sentences from the text and notice how we link sentences
in English.
a. Every day I like him more and more; however, I can't really tell if he
feels the same way.
b. I talked to him and asked him to sit next to me.
c. I decided to write to you because my parents and I are having
serious problems.
d. I'm sure it's not healthy and besides, my parents get really annoyed
with me.
e. I love my parents very much, so I don't want to make them sad.
We usually use shorter sentences when speaking and longer sentences in
writing. Linking words provide a text with cohesion and illustrate how the
parts of the text relate to each other.
We use and to add extra information.
We use but / however / although to indicate a contrast between ideas.
We use because to give reasons.
We use besides to say that there is something additional included.
We use therefore / so to express the result of something.
2. Find more sentences with these linking words in the letters. Copy them
into your notebook and write what the connector indicates: extra
information, contrast, reason(s), something additional or result.

Language Note
The First Conditional
1. Read these sentences taken from the listening text.
a. If you are brave and daring, you will eat a piece of pizza.
b. If we stay at home I won’t meet anyone else tonight.
c. If my best friend comes over we will be the only boys.
2. What do the sentences refer to?
a. Things that are possible in the future.
b. Things that were possible in the past.
c. Things that are possible in the future and in the present.
The answer is c.
The First Conditional usually consists of two clauses:
If you are brave and daring + you will eat a piece of pizza.
When the if clause comes first, a comma is usually used. When the if
clause comes second, there is no need for a comma.
3. Notice the structure:
If + Present tense + Subject + Future tense
4. Listen to the text again (or borrow the script from the teacher) and find
one more example of the First Conditional. Write it in your notebook
using a colour code as in Points 2 and 3 above.
10 In your group, complete these sentences that refer to British superstitions.
Do they exist in Chile too? The pictures below illustrate them.

JUST FOR FUN
SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO GIVE YOUR CAT A PILL
I.
II.
III.
IV.
V.
Anyone who has a cat (or should we say those
who are owned by a cat?) and need to give it a
pill, should read the following instructions very
carefully.
Pick up the cat and put it on your left arm as if
holding a baby. Put your left forefinger and
thumb on both sides of the
cat’s mouth and gently
apply pressure to the
sides holding the pill
in your right hand. As
the cat opens its
mouth, pop the pill
into its mouth. Allow
the cat to close its
mouth and swallow.
Retrieve the pill from the
floor and the cat from behind
the sofa. Put the cat on your left arm and
repeat the first step.
Retrieve the cat from the bedroom, and throw
the wet pill away. Take a new pill. Put the cat on
your left arm, holding back its legs tightly with
your left hand. Force the cat’s mouth open and
push the pill to the back of its mouth with your
right forefinger. Hold the cat’s mouth shut and
count to ten.
Retrieve the pill from the goldfish bowl
and get the cat from the top of the
wardrobe. Call your mother from
the garden. Kneel on the floor
with the cat between your knees
and hold its front and back legs.
Ask your mother to hold the cat’s
head firmly with one hand, while
forcing a ruler into the cat’s mouth.
Drop the pill down the
ruler and rub the cat’s
throat vigorously.
VI. Retrieve the cat from the
curtain and get another pill.
Carefully sweep the broken
porcelain figurines from the floor.
Wrap the cat in a large towel and get your
mother to lie on the cat with its head just
visible. Put the pill in the end of a drinking
straw, force the cat’s mouth open with a pencil
and blow down the drinking straw. Then check
the label on the cat medicine to make sure the
pill is not harmful to humans; drink a glass of
water to take the taste away.
VII. Retrieve the cat from your neighbour’s
shed. Take the last pill from the packet. Place
the cat in the cupboard with its head just
showing. Force the cat’s mouth open with a
dessert spoon. Flick the pill down the cat’s
throat with an elastic band.
VIII.Ring the fire brigade to retrieve
the cat from a tree across
the road. Apologise to
the neighbour who
crashed into a fence
while trying to avoid
the cat. Get your
mother to drive you
to the hospital.
After you come
back, phone the
local animal shelter to
see if they will exchange the cat for a
turtle or a hamster.

CHILEAN CONNECTION
Read this letter sent by a Chilean teenager to a blog that collects
embarrassing experiences around the world. Can you identify
the experience? Have you had a similar one?
This happened to me when I was 16 years old. My girlfriend, her
parents and I had gone to the “fondas” organised to celebrate
Independence Day. I challenged my girlfriend to play several games,
as I was sure I would be the absolute winner. We began with that
game in which you have to throw balls at cats standing on different
shelves. I aimed carefully and threw the first ball, but it rebounded
off the wall and hit her father right in the middle of his forehead !
Everybody started to laugh at him and I felt really bad.

Forehead : noun / the part of the face above the eyes and below the hair.

your specific purpose? Do you have to explain or
review something or propose a plan of action?
b. Once you have established what is required you
can re-read the notes you took.
c. Order your notes so that they are arranged
according to the sections you propose for the
plan. Divide them into pre, during and post
earthquake actions.
d. By ordering and reviewing your notes, you will
be able to identify any areas where you still
need more information (you can do some
Internet research, interview people, etc.)
e. One way to start a plan is to think about
possible definitions of an earthquake (you can
use a dictionary or the definition given in the
report on page 29).
f. To write the different parts of the plan use
sequencing words such as: first, next, then, after,
later and finally.
g. You can use your own words but you can also
use quotations from the report on page 29. For
example: The report on page 29 suggests: “If
you are outdoors, stay as far away from
buildings as possible.”

CHILEAN CONNECTION
In February 1997, Chile and Canada signed a free
trade agreement which contains two parallel
agreements, one of Work-related Cooperation and
one of Environmental Cooperation. The agreements
came into effect in July 1997. The Agreement of
Environmental Cooperation reflects the high priority
environmental considerations have for both countries.
The main objectives of the Agreement are to
strengthen environmental cooperation between
both countries and to ensure the efficient application
of internal environmental laws and regulations. The
promotion of sustainable development, cooperation
in conservation, protection and improvement of the
environment and the promotion of effective and
economically efficient environmental measures are
also mentioned.
One of the main aspects of the Agreement of
Environmental Cooperation between Chile and
Canada is the promotion of transparency and the
public participation in environmental management.
Guided by this principle, both countries have created
web sites of the Agreement, to provide clear and
updated information on the subject.

UNIT 3
Tip 1:
________ prepare
for the job requirements
and read the job
advertisement before
writing your CV. If you
are applying for a sales
position you will not need
to include your work
experience as a party
entertainer.
Tip 2:
________ use
clear formatting on your
CV - there is no point
having a great content if
it is horrible to look at!
________ make it
readable at first glance –
no employer will want to
go through a CV that is
written as one block of
words with no spaces in
between.

Tip 6:
________ include
the reasons why you
hate your current
employer and want to
leave the job. Likewise,
do not tell your potentia

employer your personal
problems and why you
might be late to work
from time to time.
________ lie about
your experience. If you
are tempted to stretch
the truth about your
work history - do not.
Most employers conduct
reference and
background checks and if
your curriculum does not
match your actual work
history or education, you
will most likely get
caught at some point.
Tip 8:

a. You’d better get your resume ready because the interviews are
starting next week.
b. You’d better not apply for this job.
2. What do the two sentences express?
a. Obligation.
b. Recommendation. c. Possibility.
The answer is b.
We use had better plus the infinitive without to to give advice. Although
had is the past form of have, we use had better to give advice about the
present or future. The negative form is had better not.
Example:
You’d better not say anything.
We use had better to give advice about specific situations, not general
ones. To talk about general and specific situations, we use should.
Example:
You’d better brush your teeth now.
You should always brush your teeth before you go to bed.

CHILEAN CONNECTION
Have you been to a circus lately? Was it similar to this?
THE CIRCUS
TRADITION
Some professions are common
and some are not. Some
people choose their jobs on
their own and some because it
is a family tradition. In the case
of the Maluenda brothers their
profession is unusual and it has
run in their family for generations. The Maluenda
brothers are Los Tachuelas.
Their photographs with former presidents hang on
the walls of Gastón Maluenda´s mobile office. He is
the eldest of the two brothers that form Los
Tachuelas, Chile’s best-known clowns. The origins of
the family tradition are documented in an old
photo that shows a brave man whose name was
Maluenda. At the end of the 19th century, he was
the man who could tame a bull bare-handed.
Although the entertainment business was in the
family, three generations had to pass before the
founding of the circus Los Tachuelas, by Gastón and
his brother Agustín. They are one of the most
emblematic Chilean clown acts.
What started out as a small circus with
little baggage has become, thanks to
the work of the Big Tachuela, a
profitable and professional business
firm, with good production and
infrastructure, buses and trucks to
transport the whole family, including
siblings, wives, children,
grandchildren; they travel from one city to another
and new children are born in different places.
Pastelito, Agustín’s 18 year-old son, is the focus of
all the family’s expectations and is seen as the big
promise. He has a charming smile and
extraordinary musical talent: he sings and plays the
sax, the trumpet, the keyboards and several
percussion instruments.
“As good as it may be, we would not do what the
Cirque Du Soleil does, because that is good for
Europe. The idea is for the people to see us in a
certain context that belongs to them, and that is
Chilean popular culture”.

Prepositional phrases
1. Read these sentences from the text, paying special attention to the parts
in colour.
a. Camila from my class is terrified.
b. In the case of winning in the Rio competition we’ll be invited to the
International Inter-School Basketball Cup in Australia.
c. Our science teacher at school, Mr Cárdenas, told us that ozone is a
kind of gas in the atmosphere.
d. In the meantime, to prevent more damage we should ask people to
use their cars less.
2. What can you notice about the parts of the sentences written in colour?
What two components can you distinguish?
The phrases in colour in the examples are called prepositional phrases.
They have two parts: they begin with a preposition and end with a
noun, pronoun, gerund, or clause.
Prepositional phrases function as adjectives or as adverbs.
As an adjective, the prepositional phrase will answer the question Which one?
Example:
Camila from my class is terrified. (Which Camila?)
As an adverb, a prepositional phrase will answer questions such as How?
When? Where?
Example:
In the meantime, to prevent more damage we should ask people to use
their cars less. (When should we ask people?)
3. Go back to the text and find more examples of prepositional phrases.
Write them in your notebook. What question is each prepositional
phrase answering?

understand the recording better?
14 Use the questions in Exercise 8 and the answers you found in Exercise 9 to
role play the quiz. If necessary, you can ask the teacher to play the
recording again.
Language Note
Adverbial phrases
1. Compare these pairs of sentences. What do you notice about
both examples?
a. i. Shout a little more loudly.
ii. Shout loudly.
b. i. If you try a little harder, I'm sure I'll be able to hear you!
ii. If you try harder, I'm sure I'll be able to hear you!
In both sentences ii., the question How...? can be answered by a single
word, which is an adverb: loudly, harder.
In both sentences i., the same question is answered by a group of words
that performs the role of an adverb, the adverbial phrases.
Adverbial phrases provide us with information about manner (how),
time (when), place (where), purpose (what for, why), etc., and they include
other words such as other adverbs, prepositions and infinitives.
Example:
I’ll go to bed in an hour. (When?)
The woman stared at me with an angry expression. (How?)
I wear woolly socks to keep my feet warm. (Why?)
Elephants are found in Africa and India. (Where?)
I like playing football once or twice a week. (How often?)
2. Ask the teacher to play the recording again and find five more examples
of adverbial phrases in the text.
15 Read these sentences. Identify and write the question each underlined
adverbial phrase answers.

B: We are collecting money for the animal shelter.

CHILEAN CONNECTION
What do you know about this sportsman?
COMPETING FOR GOLD
IN THE OLYMPICS
For the first time in history, in 2009 Chile had the
opportunity to go to the Olympic gymnastics.
With 15.225 points, Tomás González earned
seventh place in the World Championship of
Gymnastic Arts to qualify for the London 2012
Olympics. He is the first Chilean gymnast to
reach such a high level of competition.
The road to success has been a long one. He said
in an interview with Una Nueva Mañana that he
hopes his victory will help to change the
infrastructure of athletics in Chile.
He has struggled a lot to achieve what he has,
and at times he has felt discouraged by the
obstacles standing in his way. These include not
having adequate gym facilities in which to
practise here in Chile.
González thanked the Olympic Sports Association
of Chile for helping him during the past winter to
prepare for competitions by using the Flamengo
Club in Brazil.
Despite his struggles and discouragement,
González always returned to training in
gymnastics – his passion. With the help of his
trainer, Joel Gutiérrez, he is now one of the best
gymnasts in the world. In fact, there aren’t more
than 10 gymnasts in the world who can achieve
the level of skill necessary to land a score of 17 in
executing a jump in one of these competitions.
González is one of them.
On Oct. 13, 2009, in the preliminary rounds of the
championship, González got fourth place with a
score of 15.575, behind Japanese Kohei Uchimura
(15.775), Romanian Marian Dragulescu (15.725)
and Chinese Zou Kai (15.675).
However, the big surprise of the competition was
González’ s defeat of his Brazilian rival Diego
Hypolito, who was eliminated with his score of
15.400.

Relative clauses with relative pronouns
1. Study these sentences from the text paying special attention to the part
in bold.
a. Simple Machines help us to do actions that are sometimes difficult
to do.
b. Simple machines, which we use for fairly common actions, are all
around us.
c. Scientists, whose research is very meticulous, proved that pulleys
must have been used to build Stonehenge.
2. Each sentence above could be said using two separate sentences.
a. Simple Machines help us do actions. These actions are sometimes
difficult to do.
b. Simple machines are all around us. We use them for common actions.
c. Scientists proved that pulleys must have been used to build Stonehenge.
Scientists’ research is very meticulous, so we can rely on it.
3. In the first set of examples we use relative clauses in one sentence
instead of two sentences. We use them to give additional information
about something without starting another sentence. By combining
sentences with a relative clause, the text becomes more fluent and
repetition of certain words can be avoided.
4. Here are the most common examples of relative clauses with relative
pronouns.
Have I told you about the woman who lives next door?
I can’t find the book which I left on the table.
I don’t like the pizza that has anchovies.
Do you know the boy whose mother is a nurse?

CHILEAN CONNECTION
What advertisements do you find the most attractive?
Have you ever heard of Aap!Motion - an alternative
advertising technology? Probably not, because it is
quite new. It uses lenticular motion panel
technology which creates animated motion pictures
through the use of static photo frames without the
need of complex electronic displays or moving parts.
Sequential frames from any film clip can be placed in a
precise fragmented manner that, when seen through
a specially designed optic lens, generates motion
picture animation to the enjoyment of any viewer.
Aap!Motion consists of only two core elements - an
optic lens made from strong acrylic plastic, designed
to withstand outdoor environments, and a printed
picture, generated using a patented algorithm to
separate, compress, and overlay the frames.
Aap!Motion boxes can be made to any size, length or
dimension.
This amazing new advertising technology can now be
seen all over the world - especially in both
underground and train stations - including countries
such as Poland, the USA and South Africa.
So what is the Chilean connection? Its creators Professors Miguel Lagos and Enrique Vial - are from
the Universidad de Chile. The scientists can be seen
and heard discussing their original invention of large
format animated lenticular panels on the “Invention”
series of Discovery Channel.
The technology invented by the two Chilean scientists
was acquired by Aap!Global in 2006 and is used today
throughout the world in underground tunnels and
pedestrian walkways to bring static media to life. The
technology is used as a foundation for today’s current
digital tunnel advertising systems.
In the future this technology will be used at airports,
malls, convention centres, cinemas, casinos, office
hallways, arena/stadiums, railroad tracks - anywhere
with large amounts of moving pedestrian traffic.

A VERY UNUSUAL PROFESSION
By Rosario Mena
All across Chile, there are only two female
barrel-organ players. Two housewives that,
inspired by their husband’s or a relative’s
example, have adopted this traditionally
masculine job, going out to the streets with
their instruments.
Sonia Trujillo is one of them: “I think there are
two of us in the whole world, because I’ve
never heard of others”, she says laughing.
“We started in this as intruders”.
A brother-in-law and a brother took Sonia’s
husband to become a player twenty seven
years ago. Besides working in her house in
San Bernardo, making toys, she used to help
her husband with the sales. After two
decades, she got her own barrel-organ, a
delicate instrument, more than a hundred
years old, that requires care, maintenance
and a thorough daily cleaning.
“I clean it every time I go out, before and
after using it”, she says. “It’s all about loving
your instrument. If you love it, you care for it”.
At 42 years of age, and mother of four kids,
one of the things this woman most
appreciates about her job is the freedom it
gives her: “Nobody gives you orders. At least
I work only at weekends, and at the times I
want. Sometimes, the kids
come with me. I go to Las
Condes, Vitacura,
Providencia. It may also
be a birthday or wedding
party. During the week I
take care of the kids and
the house. “
The eight original tunes
stored on the cylinder
include old Spanish
zarzuelas, Mexican
corridos, Chilean cuecas
and Argentinian tangos.
“Some people know
the tunes and ask for
them”.
In spite of the lonely
moments when nobody comes, Sonia feels rewarded.
“There are days when nobody comes for a long time, and
you have to keep on playing. Then you start making
money. Sometimes, it’s the other way round: people come
at first, but then leave. It depends. But if you like it, you see
no sacrifice. Besides, I like keeping this tradition, because
this is one of Chile’s most typical things. So I relax, I get
away from the week’s stress. Sometimes people dance, or
sing. Then I think I’m doing well”.
