Bienvenido al módulo diez del curso That’s English!
con el que comenzamos el nivel avanzado.
En esta introducción queremos ofrecerte varias
sugerencias para seguir cómodamente y con éxito
los nuevos módulos de That’s English! que constan
de 9 unidades, 2 unidades de revisión y 1 unidad
de preparación para el examen de fin de módulo.
A continuación se detalla la estructura de la unidad
página por página.
Programa de vídeo A (páginas 1 y 2)
Todos los materiales de cada unidad giran en torno
a un tema diferente. Antes de ver el programa
correspondiente a una unidad, te ayudará consultar la
tabla de contenidos al principio del libro donde verás
recogidas las funciones, estructuras, vocabulario,
etcétera, que la configuran.
Después, echa un vistazo a la primera página de la
sección A. En ella podrás ver los Objetivos que se
espera que hayas conseguido al finalizar el estudio
de la unidad. Puedes volver a ellos entonces y
comprobar si los has conseguido.
Los encabezamientos Before you watch, While you
watch y After you watch te indican qué actividades
debes hacer en cada momento.
Before you watch presenta el vocabulario y las
frases clave del programa. Debes, por tanto, leerlas
atentamente y buscar en el diccionario cualquier
palabra que desconozcas.
While you watch contiene las preguntas que los
presentadoreshacenalcomienzodelprograma;sirven
para que te hagas una idea del contenido del episodio
correspondiente de la serie 12, Penn Road y para que
centres tu atención en sus aspectos esenciales. Los
presentadores te darán las respuestas al final del
mismo. Este apartado debes prepararlo cuidadosa-
mente antes de ver el programa, pues te servirá para
su mejor comprensión y aprovechamiento.
Mientras ves el programa, intenta responder a
las preguntas hechas por los presentadores, pero
recuerda que lo más importante es seguir el hilo
general de la trama, y que no debes preocuparte si
hay algunas palabras o expresiones que desconoces.
Muy probablemente las tendrás en cualquiera de
los demás materiales de la unidad. Es conveniente
que tengas papel y lápiz a mano, pues puede haber
palabras o explicaciones de los presentadores que te
interese anotar. En cualquier caso, observarás que
la segunda vez que veas el programa entenderás
mucho más que la primera. Y si lo ves una tercera
vez, aún mejor.
Nada más terminar el programa, conviene que hagas
la sección After you watch. Con estas actividades,
puedes comprobar tu grado de comprensión del
programa. Si te resultara muy difícil realizar las
actividades de esta sección, deberías volver a ver el
programa e intentar hacerlas de nuevo.
En la sección Now you! se te pide que relaciones
el tema del programa con tus propias vivencias y
opiniones. Por eso conviene que hagas esta actividad
nada más ver el programa. Es una excelente manera
de repasarlo e interiorizarlo.
La segunda página consta de tres secciones: Street
Interviews, Activate your English and Now You, y en
ella se trabajan y practican ciertos aspectos de la lengua
utilizada por las personas entrevistadas en la calle.
Reading (páginas 3 y 4)
Así como las dos primeras páginas se centran en el
desarrollo de la comprensión auditiva, las páginas 3
y 4 de cada unidad están dedicadas al desarrollo de
la capacidad lectora, fundamental, junto con aquella,
para el aprendizaje y dominio de una lengua. Bajo
el encabezamiento Reading, se encuentra un texto
relacionado con el tema de la unidad. Léelo las
veces que lo consideres necesario para realizar las
actividades relacionadas con él.
Recuerda que lo importante no es la comprensión de
todas y cada una de las palabras, sino de lo esencial
del texto, ya sea hablado o escrito.
Language Study (páginas 5 y 6)
Estas páginas están dedicadas al desarrollo de los
siguientes aspectos:
Pronunciation
Los ejercicios de pronunciación se centran en los
diversos aspectos de la fonética: sonidos, acento,
ritmo y entonación, tratados desde el punto de vista
de las dificultades que presentan habitualmente para el
hablante español. Estos ejercicios son fundamentales
para mejorar tu pronunciación. Para hacerlos, deberás
usar el CD de audio. Conviene que grabes tu propia voz
y la compares con el modelo del CD. Para conseguir una
pronunciación aceptable, necesitarás repetir muchas
veces, pero el esfuerzo merece la pena.
Listening
Estas actividades sirven no solo para desarrollar la
importantísima destreza de comprender la palabra
hablada, sino también para reforzar el vocabulario, las
estructuras y funciones estudiadas. Para ello, escucha
el CD de audio con atención: no escribas nada. Vuelve
a escuchar el CD e intenta completar los ejercicios
cuantas veces sea necesario. Finalmente, escucha
el CD de nuevo siguiendo el texto y comprueba que
todas las respuestas son correctas.
Introduction
THAT’S ENGLISH!6
Vocabulary
Se presenta y practica vocabulario tanto en el
programa de vídeo A como en las páginas de
Reading, Language Study, Speaking y Writing. Las
actividades de vocabulario tienen como objetivo
practicar el vocabulario ya presentado en el vídeo, en
el texto de Reading o presentar vocabulario nuevo de
forma contextualizada.
Grammar
La gramática juega un papel importante, pero
no esencial en el aprendizaje de una lengua. El
conocimiento de las reglas no lleva automáticamente
a aplicarlas bien a la hora de hablar o escribir; por
tanto, no debes obsesionarte con la gramática.
Es más importante ser capaz de participar en una
conversación, leer un libro o escribir un correo que
saber todas las reglas de la lengua. Conviene buscar
un equilibrio.
El conocimiento de las reglas gramaticales te
ayudará a entender ciertas estructuras complejas
o simplemente distintas a las españolas. También
te permitirá corregir tus propias producciones,
probablemente a posteriori, y te dará una cierta
sensación de confianza. Recuerda, sin embargo, que
se pueden saber todas las reglas de una lengua y ser
incapaz de expresarse en la misma, así como también
es posible expresarse con toda fluidez y corrección
sin conocer las reglas.
En este nivel avanzado las estructuras gramaticales
nuevas se presentan a traves de help boxes
inductivas para poder inferir las reglas gramaticales,
de color morado, y con otras de carácter informativo
de color verde. En ambas se proporcionan llamadas
de referencia para acudir a Reference section donde
se proporciona una explicación más detallada de las
estructuras presentadas.
Así pues, conviene que estudies los recuadros de
explicaciones gramaticales, que comprendas bien los
ejemplos y que hagas los ejercicios correspondientes.
Speaking
Hay dos clases de actividades de speaking: de
producción y de interacción, señalizadas con
sus correspondientes iconos. Las actividades de
producción las puedes hacer solo. Sin embargo, para
las actividades de interacción necesitas a alguien
con quien interactuar. Si conoces a alguien que
también esté estudiando inglés, sería muy útil que
pudieras hacer estas actividades con esta persona.
Siempre tienes, por supuesto, la sesión de tutoría,
donde podrás realizar estas actividades con tus
compañeros de clase. Un consejo: no seas tímido.
Lánzate a hablar. No te preocupes por los errores que
puedas cometer. No hay nada más que una forma de
aprender a hablar y es hablando.
Writing
Para muchos de los ejercicios de expresión escrita
de estas páginas no hay una solución correcta única.
Esto no debe preocuparte. No es necesario que todo
lo que escribas sea absolutamente correcto. Escribe
sin miedo, echa mano de tus fuentes de consulta:
diccionarios, gramáticas, amigos, internet; de nuevo,
no tengas miedo de cometer errores, y piensa que es
a base de práctica como se aprende a escribir.
Programa de vídeo B (página 7)
La sesión B del libro, que se corresponde con el
segundo programa de vídeo, tiene por objeto
ampliar la lengua presentada en la sesión anterior de
forma menos controlada y más natural. El segundo
programa está compuesto por diversos elementos
que abordan el tema general introducido en la sesión
anterior desde muy distintos puntos de vista:
Documentary: donde podrás ver un documental
sobre algún aspecto relacionado con el tema de la
unidad.
Same language, different lives: en esta sección
tendrás oportunidad de ver a varias personas de
diferentes países de habla inglesa respondiendo a
preguntas relacionadas con el tema de la unidad.
De esta manera, además de oír diferentes formas de
hablar inglés, podrás aprender cómo es la vida en
estos países y contrastarla con la tuya.
That’s Ireland: es una sección con la que podrás
disfrutar de un viaje cultural. En este módulo
visitaremos Irlanda. En cada episodio nuestro
presentador, Aidan O’Neill, visita alguna ciudad
o lugar de interés turístico y conversará con las
personas que vaya encontrando. Esta sección te
ayudará a mejorar tu comprensión auditiva y a
conocer de cerca interesantes aspectos de la cultura
británica.
Pues bien, antes de ver el segundo programa, es muy
conveniente que leas todas las actividades que debes
hacer porque te resultará motivador y te ayudará a
comprender lo que vas a ver.
Realiza las primeras actividades de cada sección
antes de ver el programa B: muchas de ellas están
encaminadas a familiarizarte con el lenguaje que se
va a usar y, en ocasiones, a predecirlo.
A continuación realiza las actividades de comprensión
de cada sección después de ver el programa. Estas
tienen por misión medir tu comprensión de los
diversos elementos.
Un consejo que deberías tener muy en cuenta: no te
preocupes si no entiendes todas y cada una de las
palabras que oigas o leas. Lo importante es captar el
mensaje esencial de cada uno de sus episodios.
7THAT’S ENGLISH!
Skills Work (página 8)
Esta página está reservada para trabajar las distintas
destrezas de listening, reading, speaking y writing de
forma integrada y con temas alusivos al tópico de la
unidad.
Algunas de estas actividades pueden ser más
abiertas y menos controladas que las de las sesiones
A y B. No debes preocuparte si no sabes si has
resuelto bien la actividad o no. El mismo hecho de
realizarla te ha servido para mucho. Como muchas
otras cosas de la vida, una lengua se aprende
practicándola y cometiendo errores. No obstante, la
tutoría presencial puede ser un buen momento para
preguntar tus dudas y practicar las actividades orales
de esta sección con tus compañeros.
Writing / Speaking (páginas 9 y 10)
En estos módulos del nivel avanzado se alternan
cada dos unidades dos páginas dedicadas a las
destrezas de writing o speaking. En ellas se incluirán
actividades para analizar textos escritos u orales
(forma y estructura) y el lenguaje y funciones
utilizados en ellos. Al final de cada sección el alumno
tendrá que producir o bien un texto escrito basado
en el tipo de texto trabajado en la sección o bien un
texto oral que será un monólogo o un diálogo. Al
final del libro se podrá consultar la sección de Writing
Reference, que incluirá los distintos tipos de textos
trabajados en las unidades dedicadas a writing. En la
sección de Answer Key se proporcionarán modelos
para orientar en las producciones orales y escritas.
Self Tests
Al final del libro se incluyen los Self Tests
correspondientes a cada una de las unidades. Estas
páginas te dan la oportunidad de que te autoevalúes
y repases los contenidos fundamentales de la unidad
a través de distintos tipos de actividades.
Revision units
En este módulo se han elaborado dos unidades de
revisión. Revision Unit 1, después de la unidad 4, revisa
los contenidos de las cuatro primeras unidades.
Revision Unit 2, después de la unidad 9, revisa las
cinco restantes.
Constan de cuatro páginas para repasar y
consolidar los contenidos principales del módulo.
Incluyen actividades de gramática, vocabulario y
pronunciación, y práctica de las 4 destrezas.
Unit 10 Exams
Al final del libro también se incluye una unidad de
examen destinada a preparar el examen de final de
módulo. Plantea un modelo de examen por destrezas
similar al que se propone en las Escuelas de Idiomas
de algunas Comunidades Autónomas.
En esta unidad, además de trabajar las cuatro
destrezas, se proporcionan actividades y consejos
que ayudan a desarrollar estrategias para mejor
enfrentar las distintas partes del examen.
Reference Section
En este nivel avanzado también se incluye una
sección completa al final del libro que se llama
Reference Section. En ella puedes encontrar los Self
Tests correspondientes a cada una de las unidades,
breves explicaciones de gramática, una sección
de Writing con modelos de los distintos tipos de
textos trabajados en las unidades, una breve guía
de pronunciación y la lista de verbos irregulares.
Finalmente, la sección de Answer Key te puede
ayudar para autocorregirte las actividades de las
unidades.
Todos estos elementos están pensados para
proporcionarte la ayuda necesaria con las estructuras
y el vocabulario de cada unidad.
Por último, un consejo muy importante para que
puedas tener éxito con el curso That’s English!:
asiste a las sesiones de tutoría con regularidad. Son
fundamentales para el desarrollo de tu competencia
comunicativa.

TRACK 1
I’d been gradually getting into gang culture
since my dad left us. I was ten years old, and
my life had taken a turn for the worse. b… , but
he stopped coming and my mum got a new
boyfriend and soon forgot about me. I felt angry
and started missing school and hanging out
with gang members. In the beginning, I used to
lie about what I’d been doing at school, but then,
gradually, I just stopped going home. I was with
the Dixie Kids, a gang which controlled most of
the criminal activity – drugs, prostitution – in our
neighbourhood. Everyone was afraid of them, but
as part of the gang, I felt safe. c… so they would
use me as a messenger. I had my first gun at 14
and my first prison sentence at 16.
In prison, I started playing football, and I was
good. The prison officers said they’d never seen
anyone with such natural talent. d… , but I’d never
realised I had any talent with a ball. On the day I
got out of prison, one of the officers got me a trial
with a football club. They offered me a place on
the team, but only if I stayed away from crime. I
definitely felt I’d reached a crossroads in my life.
Turning my back on my gang brothers wasn’t
easy: e… , and to be honest, I still haven’t grown
out of the need to feel I belong somewhere.
I knew that not many people get this kind of
chance to turn their life round, and I’d be stupid
not to take it; f… , I see only violence and death.
My football coach paid to get rid of my tattoos
because he knew that if I no longer had them,
this would mean I was serious about breaking
up with the gang, and I am. The brothers are my
past. Football is my future.

questions.
Not many years ago, New York City used to be an
extremely violent place. In 1990, its murder rate
had been one of the highest in the world, but by
the beginning of this century, it had dropped by
a remarkable 56%, and NYC is now a much safer
city. So what was responsible for this amazing
turnaround and what was the tipping point?
Gladwell says that a combination of a number of
small but crucial factors coincided to cause this
incredible transformation. The first factor was that
the city had decided to concentrate on factors that
affected the immediate environment. For years,
New Yorkers had been putting up with a dangerous
and dirty subway system. The city cleaned it
up by getting rid of the graffiti on the trains and
putting police officers in subway stations to protect
passengers. New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s
famous ‘broken windows’ policy, which consisted
ofcleaningupneglectedareasandrepairingbroken
windows in abandoned buildings, also helped to
transform the environment. Giuliani adopted a
policy of ‘zero tolerance’ towards street crime, for
example, by clearing areas where street gangs used
to hang out.
Gladwell believes that these small changes created
the context for greater change and were the tipping
point which made it possible for the city to turn its
back forever on its violent past.

business stays successful? Lots of people would
like to know the answer to that question: could the
oldest company in the world have the answers?
a … , it has stayed in business for over 1,400 years,
and specialises in building Buddhist temples.
The Shitennoji temple in Osaka, still standing
today, was the company’s first job and the
Kongõ family have repaired and maintained the
temple for more than 1,000 years. One reason
for this company’s long life is that the temple-
building market is very stable: the demand for
Buddhist temples doesn’t fluctuate greatly, and
there isn’t a lot of competition. Also because it
takes ten years to train Kongõ Gumi employees,
they have unique skills and expertise. So, if you
want a Buddhist temple, they are definitely the
people to speak to! However, despite being very
specialised, the company can be flexible too.
For example, when there wasn’t much demand
for Buddhist temples during the Second World
War, the company temporarily changed their
activity to making coffins.
b … Kongõ Gumi had over 100 employees and an
annual revenue of ¥7.5 billion ($70 million). But
then, only a year later, the company suddenly and
surprisingly lost a lot of money and went into
liquidation. So what had happened? Apparently,
in the 1980s, instead of ploughing back their
profits into the business as they had always done
before, Kongõ Gumi had invested their profits in
the housing market and also borrowed money
from banks to buy more buildings. Unfortunately,
when the value of property decreased in the 90s,
the buildings lost their value and Kongõ Gumi
weren’t able to keep up the repayments on
their loans to the banks.

c … and made it possible for the oldest business
in the world to stay in business. Takamatsu
even asked a member of the Kongõ family to
run the day-to-day business operations. It is
very sad that a 1,400-year-old business lost
its independence in this way, and modern
companies should take note: don’t take on debt
if you don’t have to. In the 80s and 90s, it was
normal for businesses to borrow lots of money,
but companies mustn’t take this kind of risk if it
isn’t absolutely necessary. The other important
lesson to be learned is to do what you know best
and stay with what you know. Kongõ Gumi’s
expertise was the key to its long success. It has
always been good at temple construction: it still
is. It just wasn’t so good at buying and selling
property.

a restaurant a language school
a rock band a fashion boutique a spa
Well, the first question you should
ask yourself is where you want to
open your restaurant.
I’d like to open my own restaurant.
I’m a great vegetarian cook.
When the Rolling Stones, the band which for many
represents the essence of rock and roll, first came to
the USA in 1964, people were nervous. ‘Would you
let your daughter marry a Rolling Stone?’ asked the
newspapers, reflecting the group’s bad-boy status
and wild reputation. Fifty years later, the Stones are
still making music, but they are no longer symbols of
youth and rebellion. Now theyare the multi-millionaire
representatives of ‘a global megabrand’ worth around
$170 billion. What happened?
According to singer Mick Jagger, the band had to learn
to be good businessmen because they had been so
badly ripped off. ‘I’ll never forget the deals I did in
the 60s, which were just terrible,’ he says. The band
wanted to be creative, not make business deals, but
(like the Beatles who famously signed a contract
giving away the legal rights to all their early songs)
the Stones also found it impossible: ‘everyone would
just steal every penny you’ve got.’
The Stones took control in the 70s by employing a
new manager, Rupert Lowenstein, who took over
their assets and restructured the band as a company.
Understandably, they appreciate his expertise: it has
made them rich, but some criticise the Stones for
adopting the ethics of corporate big business. How is
it, for example, that they pay so little tax on their huge
revenues? Nobody really knows because, as journalist
Clive James recently remarked, ‘the truth about the
Stones these days is that they are a highly successful
corporation whose methods, like those of Google or
Microsoft, are not really open for comment unless you
have legal representation.’

REPORT ON THE FUTURE OF SHOPPING
Shopping has changed a lot over the last 50 years. Supermarkets and shopping centres have put
many high-street shops out of business; however, they themselves are now affected by online
shopping. This report looks at the latest trends in shopping and makes recommendations
for the future.
In my view, personalisation will be the key to success. Indeed, shops are beginning to use digital
technology to monitor exactly what customers look at and what they buy. As a result, they can
recommend items via customers’ smartphones that appeal to their individual tastes and interests.
Despite the current trend being to replace sales assistants with automatic checkouts, experts say
that since online shopping is impersonal, shops should compete by offering a very different kind of
experience. In the future, shops will mainly be places where people go for personal services, such as
beauty treatments. Furthermore, they will be considered as ‘fun environments’ where people can
relax and interact.
Technology will also allow shops to offer exciting new services. For example, it will be possible
to buy things using a 3-D ‘printer’ which ‘prints’ your product. Customers buying clothes will be able
to use 3-D avatars of themselves to try on clothes without undressing.
Shops need to look at trends carefully in order to be more competitive. In spite of the great
importance of technology, the key to success in the future will be to achieve the right balance of
online versus personal or face-to-face services.

The secret of the Blue
Moon café
Sophie stood at the window of the Blue Moon
café and sighed. Not only was it raining heavily,
but it was also absolutely freezing. There was
nobody on the High Street. Business would
be fairly slow today. A solitary customer was
drinking his coffee slowly.
At times like these, she wondered why she
stayed in such an extremely dull town as
Churchfield. It was an open secret that she
longed to return to London and take advantage
of everything there: theatre, art, music and
better job opportunities. She was feeling pretty
miserable until she remembered the next day
was Friday and that she would see Jamie again.
And of course, Jamie was the real reason she
stayed around. He was based there and so she
would put up with anything to be near him.
Just thinking about him made her smile. She
could never feel down for long while she had
the chance of seeing him.
The important thing was that Jamie was quite
different to Andy, her ex-fiancé. Andy had
seemed so charming and she had been madly
in love. He had asked her to marry him and
she had trusted him completely, but then just
one month before the wedding, Andy had let
her down badly, leaving her to travel around
the world just when she had needed him
most. She knew now he had simply taken her
in with false promises and had never really
intended to marry her. Sophie had been totally
devastated. She had a lump in her throat
when she thought about that time. Sadly, she
hadn’t been able to tell her secret to her best
friend, Gina. Gina could never keep a secret,

and Sophie hadn’t wanted anyone to know.
Anyway, she finally moved out of the big city
and lost contact with her London friends.
Friday eventually came and Jamie arrived as
usual after his guitar lesson. Not only did he
play the guitar rather well, but he also sang
beautifully. Sophie had often heard him sing
in the café with his friends. He chatted to her
and chose his favourite cake as usual. Sophie
took it to his table and managed to listen to
most of his conversation without anyone
realising. She could never give away her secret.
Jamie wasn’t old enough to understand yet, he
was only fifteen. But when he was an adult,
Sophie would explain everything to him: how
she had watched over him in secret after her
former boss and his wife had adopted him.
It had taken Sophie a few years to find them
after they had moved to Churchfield. No one
else knew: it was the best-kept secret ever that
Jamie was her son, and Andy was his father.

The Kumbh Mela Festival takes place every three
years in India at different locations along the banks
of India’s sacred rivers: the Ganges, the Yamuna and
the ancient lost Saraswati River. It is hardly surprising
in a country with over one billion Hindus, that simply
millions of pilgrims travel great distances to attend
the celebration, making it the largest religious festival
and pilgrimage in the world.
Hindus believe that the water of the sacred rivers
actually washes away sin, so unsurprisingly, bathing
is central to the festival and pilgrims gather next to
the rivers to perform this act of faith and patiently
wait to take a ritual bath. At sunrise on the first day
of the 55-day festival, the sadhus or holy men lead
the way to the water. Like many other religions,
Hindus have a variety of priests, or holy men and
women, and follow a number of spiritual practices to
understand the Divine more clearly. This often means
undertaking difficult physical challenges and acting
in blind faith, simply trusting that God will take care
of them. Some sadhus don’t wear clothes and never
cut their hair, some have taken a vow of silence and
never speak, others simply stop eating and drinking
and follow a strict fast. Nearly a million sadhus attend
the festival and give blessings to the other pilgrims.
Despite the immense crowds at the Kumbh Mela
Festival, it is a moment of pure joy when pilgrims finally
wash in the river, and of course, a highly emotional
experience too. Once they have bathed, the pilgrims
say prayers, make offerings at the shrines of different
Hindu deities and listen to the words of the sadhus.

COMMENTS
The practicalities of housing and feeding millions
of pilgrims over the two months of the festival
may seem an impossible task. Nevertheless, the
officials do manage to organise the crowds. In fact, a
temporary city of over a million tents is put up along
with 20,000 portable toilets, and 10,000 sweepers
are employed to keep the place clean. Unfortunately,
one of the biggest dangers for pilgrims is being
injured by the enormous crowds, so there are about
50,000 policemen to help control the vast crowds.

Pronunciation: intonation in question tags
Question tags can be used for real questions or
simply to ask for confirmation of information.
▶Choose the correct option.
When it is a real question the intonation rises /
falls on the tag. If we just want confirmation, then
the intonation rises / falls.
I was brought up in the Catholic faith, but
1simply / actually as I got older, I lost my
faith and I 2hardly / simply stopped going to
church.A couple of years ago, a friend of mine
got very ill and 3hardly / unfortunately died,
and it 4just / really affected me very deeply. I
decided to take some time for reflection and
walk the Camino de Santiago in the north of
Spain. 5Firmly / Surprisingly, it was one of the
best decisions I have ever made. It took me
about 3 weeks, and I met all kinds of people
on the way. Some had a strong religious faith
but 6hardly / just anyone was there for the
same reason. Some 7just / certainly wanted
to follow a historic route and others, like me,
8simply / hardly wanted some time on their
own to think about their lives.
Review of question tags page 130
Expressing doubt and belief
To express doubt:
A million people all bathing in the same water.
I doubt if / whether anyone is very clean
after that…
I wonder if / whether I will be strong
enough…
To express belief:
I do firmly believe there’s something after
death.
I am sure miracles are possible.
We also use adverbs like really, actually,
simply, just, certainly, hardly, firmly,
unfortunately, surprisingly to modify
expressions of doubt or belief.
It is hardly surprising in a country with over
one billion Hindus, that simply millions of
pilgrims travel great distances to attend the
celebration.
Surprisingly, many non-believers send their
children to religious schools.

I’ve heard it’s very beautiful and
everyone is really friendly.
Look at the photo.Where are these pilgrims? Read the text and check your answer.
Muslims all around the world pray in the
direction of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. But why
is this?
Mecca is the location of the Grand Mosque which is
the most sacred place in the Islamic world because
at its centre there is an ancient building called the
Kaaba. This black marble building dates back to pre-
Islamic times, to about 2000 BC. It has been a place
of pilgrimage since then and wherever they are and
whatever they are doing, Muslims stop and pray in the
direction of the Kaaba five times a day.
In a corner of the Kaaba, there are pieces of an ancient
stone, the Black Stone, which Muslims believe actually
date back to the time of Adam and Eve. Muslims
believe the Black Stone originally fell from Heaven as
a sign from God to show Adam and Eve where to build
an altar. Others think that the stone may simply be a
meteorite. But whatever you believe, it is clear that
the stone has always had a special sacred significance.
All Muslims should go on a pilgrimage to Mecca once
in their lifetime if they have enough money to do
so and are in good health. When pilgrims travel to
Mecca to complete the Hajj or pilgrimage, they walk
anticlockwise seven times around the Kaaba and
many try to touch or kiss the Black Stone, so the stone
is highly polished from the millions of hands which
have touched it.

Read the description of a faith school below and look at the photos. Which photo shows a

You are going to read an essay entitled: Should faith schools receive government funding?
Decide if the sentences (1-6) are arguments for or against.
1 Some faiths have messages which are incompatible with the national curriculum.
2 Religious organisations have historically always played a part in education.
3 Parents should be able to choose an education which reflects their moral codes.
4 Faith schools can cause segregation of communities.
5 Faith schools are important for sustaining the religion, culture, identity and language of
different groups.
6 Children should study all types of religion to understand different values.
Read the text. Is the writer for or against religious schools being funded by the government?

Should faith schools receive government funding?
Faith schools in Britain have existed since the Middle Ages. Both the Church of England and the
Catholic Church first founded faith schools in the 16th century to provide education to children
from all social classes. These schools today receive some government funding, and parents also
contribute. Yet, surprisingly, there is now considerable debate in Britain about whether faith schools
should receive any government money.
Many people think children should learn about all faiths, and they also believe that one religion
should never be more important than another. However, I think parents have the right to choose an
education for their children which reflects their personal beliefs. Despite being true that children
should learn to respect others’opinions,they also need to identify with their own religion and culture.
As regards the argument that faith schools lead to segregation of communities, personally I think
this is simply not true. In countries with no state-funded faith schools, for example France, there
are still problems with social integration. Another argument against faith schools is that certain
beliefs might be incompatible with the national curriculum. For example, some religions believe in
creationism, but the national curriculum teaches evolution. This is true in some extreme cases, even
so, I firmly believe that if all schools teach respect and understanding, then faith schools are a valid
educational option.
To conclude, while schools need to teach children about all religions, still, nevertheless people should
be able to maintain their own cultural and religious values. For this reason, I support the view that
faith schools should be government funded.
Faith schools have to follow the national curriculum except for religious studies, where they teach their own religion.

Buddhism is often described as a
way of life rather than a religion.
The teachings of Siddhartha
Gotama, or Buddha, are used to
inspire followers to live a life
of peace, to be aware of their
thoughts and actions, and to
develop understanding or wisdom.
The final goal is enlightenment and
true happiness. Buddhism is not
regarded as a religion because the
Buddha is not a deity but simply
a wise man. One of the principal
beliefs of Buddhists is that when we
die, we are reincarnated as another
body. Depending on the way we
have lived our lives, this rebirth can
be as any living creature: human or
animal.
The Dalai Lama is the spiritual
leader of the Tibetan Buddhists.
Not only is he a religious figure, but
he is also the head of the Tibetan
government in exile. He is the 14th
Dalai Lama, and at the age of 79, he
is thinking about his successor. In a
recent announcement, he has said
that he may be the last Dalai Lama,
but that this is not significant in the
continuation of the faith. Buddhism
existed 1,800 years before the first
Dalai Lama, so the role has not
always been essential.
In this era of democracy and
growing international pressure, it
has been suggested that the political
leader of the Tibetan government
should be elected democratically.
The Dalai Lama has also referred
to the possible selection of a
woman as the 15th Dalai Lama,
adapting the traditional customs
to the modern world. Whatever
the outcome is, when he dies, he
would like to be reincarnated in a
position where he can continue to
help humanity.
The Dalai Lama, as well as other
lamas, is chosen after the death of
the spiritual teacher. Elderly monks
search for the new lama and when
they believe they have found a
young boy who has connections
with the deceased lama, they
conduct a simple test. The child
is shown certain objects, some of
which belonged to the previous
lama. If the boy selects the correct
objects, then this is the sign that
he recognises them, and he is the
reincarnation. This happened to a
Spanish child, Ösel Hita, who was
found in 1986 and sent to be trained
in an Indian monastery. However,
when he reached the age of 18, he
chose to leave the order and returned
to Spain where he currently lives
and studies. Even so, this has not
perturbed the Buddhists who firmly
believe that he is the reincarnation
of Lama Yeshe, and ultimately,
events will run their course.

  • 7. Bienvenido al módulo diez del curso That’s English! con el que comenzamos el nivel avanzado. En esta introducción queremos ofrecerte varias sugerencias para seguir cómodamente y con éxito los nuevos módulos de That’s English! que constan de 9 unidades, 2 unidades de revisión y 1 unidad de preparación para el examen de fin de módulo. A continuación se detalla la estructura de la unidad página por página. Programa de vídeo A (páginas 1 y 2) Todos los materiales de cada unidad giran en torno a un tema diferente. Antes de ver el programa correspondiente a una unidad, te ayudará consultar la tabla de contenidos al principio del libro donde verás recogidas las funciones, estructuras, vocabulario, etcétera, que la configuran. Después, echa un vistazo a la primera página de la sección A. En ella podrás ver los Objetivos que se espera que hayas conseguido al finalizar el estudio de la unidad. Puedes volver a ellos entonces y comprobar si los has conseguido. Los encabezamientos Before you watch, While you watch y After you watch te indican qué actividades debes hacer en cada momento. Before you watch presenta el vocabulario y las frases clave del programa. Debes, por tanto, leerlas atentamente y buscar en el diccionario cualquier palabra que desconozcas. While you watch contiene las preguntas que los presentadoreshacenalcomienzodelprograma;sirven para que te hagas una idea del contenido del episodio correspondiente de la serie 12, Penn Road y para que centres tu atención en sus aspectos esenciales. Los presentadores te darán las respuestas al final del mismo. Este apartado debes prepararlo cuidadosa- mente antes de ver el programa, pues te servirá para su mejor comprensión y aprovechamiento. Mientras ves el programa, intenta responder a las preguntas hechas por los presentadores, pero recuerda que lo más importante es seguir el hilo general de la trama, y que no debes preocuparte si hay algunas palabras o expresiones que desconoces. Muy probablemente las tendrás en cualquiera de los demás materiales de la unidad. Es conveniente que tengas papel y lápiz a mano, pues puede haber palabras o explicaciones de los presentadores que te interese anotar. En cualquier caso, observarás que la segunda vez que veas el programa entenderás mucho más que la primera. Y si lo ves una tercera vez, aún mejor. Nada más terminar el programa, conviene que hagas la sección After you watch. Con estas actividades, puedes comprobar tu grado de comprensión del programa. Si te resultara muy difícil realizar las actividades de esta sección, deberías volver a ver el programa e intentar hacerlas de nuevo. En la sección Now you! se te pide que relaciones el tema del programa con tus propias vivencias y opiniones. Por eso conviene que hagas esta actividad nada más ver el programa. Es una excelente manera de repasarlo e interiorizarlo. La segunda página consta de tres secciones: Street Interviews, Activate your English and Now You, y en ella se trabajan y practican ciertos aspectos de la lengua utilizada por las personas entrevistadas en la calle. Reading (páginas 3 y 4) Así como las dos primeras páginas se centran en el desarrollo de la comprensión auditiva, las páginas 3 y 4 de cada unidad están dedicadas al desarrollo de la capacidad lectora, fundamental, junto con aquella, para el aprendizaje y dominio de una lengua. Bajo el encabezamiento Reading, se encuentra un texto relacionado con el tema de la unidad. Léelo las veces que lo consideres necesario para realizar las actividades relacionadas con él. Recuerda que lo importante no es la comprensión de todas y cada una de las palabras, sino de lo esencial del texto, ya sea hablado o escrito. Language Study (páginas 5 y 6) Estas páginas están dedicadas al desarrollo de los siguientes aspectos: Pronunciation Los ejercicios de pronunciación se centran en los diversos aspectos de la fonética: sonidos, acento, ritmo y entonación, tratados desde el punto de vista de las dificultades que presentan habitualmente para el hablante español. Estos ejercicios son fundamentales para mejorar tu pronunciación. Para hacerlos, deberás usar el CD de audio. Conviene que grabes tu propia voz y la compares con el modelo del CD. Para conseguir una pronunciación aceptable, necesitarás repetir muchas veces, pero el esfuerzo merece la pena. Listening Estas actividades sirven no solo para desarrollar la importantísima destreza de comprender la palabra hablada, sino también para reforzar el vocabulario, las estructuras y funciones estudiadas. Para ello, escucha el CD de audio con atención: no escribas nada. Vuelve a escuchar el CD e intenta completar los ejercicios cuantas veces sea necesario. Finalmente, escucha el CD de nuevo siguiendo el texto y comprueba que todas las respuestas son correctas. Introduction THAT’S ENGLISH!6
  • 8. Vocabulary Se presenta y practica vocabulario tanto en el programa de vídeo A como en las páginas de Reading, Language Study, Speaking y Writing. Las actividades de vocabulario tienen como objetivo practicar el vocabulario ya presentado en el vídeo, en el texto de Reading o presentar vocabulario nuevo de forma contextualizada. Grammar La gramática juega un papel importante, pero no esencial en el aprendizaje de una lengua. El conocimiento de las reglas no lleva automáticamente a aplicarlas bien a la hora de hablar o escribir; por tanto, no debes obsesionarte con la gramática. Es más importante ser capaz de participar en una conversación, leer un libro o escribir un correo que saber todas las reglas de la lengua. Conviene buscar un equilibrio. El conocimiento de las reglas gramaticales te ayudará a entender ciertas estructuras complejas o simplemente distintas a las españolas. También te permitirá corregir tus propias producciones, probablemente a posteriori, y te dará una cierta sensación de confianza. Recuerda, sin embargo, que se pueden saber todas las reglas de una lengua y ser incapaz de expresarse en la misma, así como también es posible expresarse con toda fluidez y corrección sin conocer las reglas. En este nivel avanzado las estructuras gramaticales nuevas se presentan a traves de help boxes inductivas para poder inferir las reglas gramaticales, de color morado, y con otras de carácter informativo de color verde. En ambas se proporcionan llamadas de referencia para acudir a Reference section donde se proporciona una explicación más detallada de las estructuras presentadas. Así pues, conviene que estudies los recuadros de explicaciones gramaticales, que comprendas bien los ejemplos y que hagas los ejercicios correspondientes. Speaking Hay dos clases de actividades de speaking: de producción y de interacción, señalizadas con sus correspondientes iconos. Las actividades de producción las puedes hacer solo. Sin embargo, para las actividades de interacción necesitas a alguien con quien interactuar. Si conoces a alguien que también esté estudiando inglés, sería muy útil que pudieras hacer estas actividades con esta persona. Siempre tienes, por supuesto, la sesión de tutoría, donde podrás realizar estas actividades con tus compañeros de clase. Un consejo: no seas tímido. Lánzate a hablar. No te preocupes por los errores que puedas cometer. No hay nada más que una forma de aprender a hablar y es hablando. Writing Para muchos de los ejercicios de expresión escrita de estas páginas no hay una solución correcta única. Esto no debe preocuparte. No es necesario que todo lo que escribas sea absolutamente correcto. Escribe sin miedo, echa mano de tus fuentes de consulta: diccionarios, gramáticas, amigos, internet; de nuevo, no tengas miedo de cometer errores, y piensa que es a base de práctica como se aprende a escribir. Programa de vídeo B (página 7) La sesión B del libro, que se corresponde con el segundo programa de vídeo, tiene por objeto ampliar la lengua presentada en la sesión anterior de forma menos controlada y más natural. El segundo programa está compuesto por diversos elementos que abordan el tema general introducido en la sesión anterior desde muy distintos puntos de vista: Documentary: donde podrás ver un documental sobre algún aspecto relacionado con el tema de la unidad. Same language, different lives: en esta sección tendrás oportunidad de ver a varias personas de diferentes países de habla inglesa respondiendo a preguntas relacionadas con el tema de la unidad. De esta manera, además de oír diferentes formas de hablar inglés, podrás aprender cómo es la vida en estos países y contrastarla con la tuya. That’s Ireland: es una sección con la que podrás disfrutar de un viaje cultural. En este módulo visitaremos Irlanda. En cada episodio nuestro presentador, Aidan O’Neill, visita alguna ciudad o lugar de interés turístico y conversará con las personas que vaya encontrando. Esta sección te ayudará a mejorar tu comprensión auditiva y a conocer de cerca interesantes aspectos de la cultura británica. Pues bien, antes de ver el segundo programa, es muy conveniente que leas todas las actividades que debes hacer porque te resultará motivador y te ayudará a comprender lo que vas a ver. Realiza las primeras actividades de cada sección antes de ver el programa B: muchas de ellas están encaminadas a familiarizarte con el lenguaje que se va a usar y, en ocasiones, a predecirlo. A continuación realiza las actividades de comprensión de cada sección después de ver el programa. Estas tienen por misión medir tu comprensión de los diversos elementos. Un consejo que deberías tener muy en cuenta: no te preocupes si no entiendes todas y cada una de las palabras que oigas o leas. Lo importante es captar el mensaje esencial de cada uno de sus episodios. 7THAT’S ENGLISH!
  • 9. Skills Work (página 8) Esta página está reservada para trabajar las distintas destrezas de listening, reading, speaking y writing de forma integrada y con temas alusivos al tópico de la unidad. Algunas de estas actividades pueden ser más abiertas y menos controladas que las de las sesiones A y B. No debes preocuparte si no sabes si has resuelto bien la actividad o no. El mismo hecho de realizarla te ha servido para mucho. Como muchas otras cosas de la vida, una lengua se aprende practicándola y cometiendo errores. No obstante, la tutoría presencial puede ser un buen momento para preguntar tus dudas y practicar las actividades orales de esta sección con tus compañeros. Writing / Speaking (páginas 9 y 10) En estos módulos del nivel avanzado se alternan cada dos unidades dos páginas dedicadas a las destrezas de writing o speaking. En ellas se incluirán actividades para analizar textos escritos u orales (forma y estructura) y el lenguaje y funciones utilizados en ellos. Al final de cada sección el alumno tendrá que producir o bien un texto escrito basado en el tipo de texto trabajado en la sección o bien un texto oral que será un monólogo o un diálogo. Al final del libro se podrá consultar la sección de Writing Reference, que incluirá los distintos tipos de textos trabajados en las unidades dedicadas a writing. En la sección de Answer Key se proporcionarán modelos para orientar en las producciones orales y escritas. Self Tests Al final del libro se incluyen los Self Tests correspondientes a cada una de las unidades. Estas páginas te dan la oportunidad de que te autoevalúes y repases los contenidos fundamentales de la unidad a través de distintos tipos de actividades. Revision units En este módulo se han elaborado dos unidades de revisión. Revision Unit 1, después de la unidad 4, revisa los contenidos de las cuatro primeras unidades. Revision Unit 2, después de la unidad 9, revisa las cinco restantes. Constan de cuatro páginas para repasar y consolidar los contenidos principales del módulo. Incluyen actividades de gramática, vocabulario y pronunciación, y práctica de las 4 destrezas. Unit 10 Exams Al final del libro también se incluye una unidad de examen destinada a preparar el examen de final de módulo. Plantea un modelo de examen por destrezas similar al que se propone en las Escuelas de Idiomas de algunas Comunidades Autónomas. En esta unidad, además de trabajar las cuatro destrezas, se proporcionan actividades y consejos que ayudan a desarrollar estrategias para mejor enfrentar las distintas partes del examen. Reference Section En este nivel avanzado también se incluye una sección completa al final del libro que se llama Reference Section. En ella puedes encontrar los Self Tests correspondientes a cada una de las unidades, breves explicaciones de gramática, una sección de Writing con modelos de los distintos tipos de textos trabajados en las unidades, una breve guía de pronunciación y la lista de verbos irregulares. Finalmente, la sección de Answer Key te puede ayudar para autocorregirte las actividades de las unidades. Todos estos elementos están pensados para proporcionarte la ayuda necesaria con las estructuras y el vocabulario de cada unidad. Por último, un consejo muy importante para que puedas tener éxito con el curso That’s English!: asiste a las sesiones de tutoría con regularidad. Son fundamentales para el desarrollo de tu competencia comunicativa. IntroductionIntroduction THAT’S ENGLISH!8

The ‘tipping point’ is just another expression for ‘…’ . It’s the ‘magic moment’ when an … , trend or social … stops being small and goes … . questions. Not many years ago, New York City used to be an extremely violent place. In 1990, its murder rate had been one of the highest in the world, but by the beginning of this century, it had dropped by a remarkable 56%, and NYC is now a much safer city. So what was responsible for this amazing turnaround and what was the tipping point? Gladwell says that a combination of a number of small but crucial factors coincided to cause this incredible transformation. The first factor was that the city had decided to concentrate on factors that affected the immediate environment. For years, New Yorkers had been putting up with a dangerous and dirty subway system. The city cleaned it up by getting rid of the graffiti on the trains and putting police officers in subway stations to protect passengers. New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani’s famous ‘broken windows’ policy, which consisted ofcleaningupneglectedareasandrepairingbroken windows in abandoned buildings, also helped to transform the environment. Giuliani adopted a policy of ‘zero tolerance’ towards street crime, for example, by clearing areas where street gangs used to hang out. Gladwell believes that these small changes created the context for greater change and were the tipping point which made it possible for the city to turn its back forever on its violent past.

Lots of people would like to know the answer to that question: could the oldest company in the world have the answers? a … , it has stayed in business for over 1,400 years, and specialises in building Buddhist temples. The Shitennoji temple in Osaka, still standing today, was the company’s first job and the Kongõ family have repaired and maintained the temple for more than 1,000 years. One reason for this company’s long life is that the temple- building market is very stable: the demand for Buddhist temples doesn’t fluctuate greatly, and there isn’t a lot of competition. Also because it takes ten years to train Kongõ Gumi employees, they have unique skills and expertise. So, if you want a Buddhist temple, they are definitely the people to speak to! However, despite being very specialised, the company can be flexible too. For example, when there wasn’t much demand for Buddhist temples during the Second World War, the company temporarily changed their activity to making coffins. b … Kongõ Gumi had over 100 employees and an annual revenue of ¥7.5 billion ($70 million). But then, only a year later, the company suddenly and surprisingly lost a lot of money and went into liquidation. So what had happened? Apparently, in the 1980s, instead of ploughing back their profits into the business as they had always done before, Kongõ Gumi had invested their profits in the housing market and also borrowed money from banks to buy more buildings. Unfortunately, when the value of property decreased in the 90s, the buildings lost their value and Kongõ Gumi weren’t able to keep up the repayments on their loans to the banks. 12 The success – and failure – of the world’s oldest company

It is very sad that a 1,400-year-old business lost its independence in this way, and modern companies should take note: don’t take on debt if you don’t have to. In the 80s and 90s, it was normal for businesses to borrow lots of money, but companies mustn’t take this kind of risk if it isn’t absolutely necessary. The other important lesson to be learned is to do what you know best and stay with what you know. Kongõ Gumi’s expertise was the key to its long success. It has always been good at temple construction: it still is. It just wasn’t so good at buying and selling property. 14 14 Cara Felix 4 4 DOs DO plough back your profits DO get as much expert advice as you can before you 2... your business.

I’d like to open my own restaurant. I’m a great vegetarian cook. When the Rolling Stones, the band which for many represents the essence of rock and roll, first came to the USA in 1964, people were nervous. ‘Would you let your daughter marry a Rolling Stone?’ asked the newspapers, reflecting the group’s bad-boy status and wild reputation. Fifty years later, the Stones are still making music, but they are no longer symbols of youth and rebellion. Now theyare the multi-millionaire representatives of ‘a global megabrand’ worth around $170 billion. What happened? According to singer Mick Jagger, the band had to learn to be good businessmen because they had been so badly ripped off. ‘I’ll never forget the deals I did in the 60s, which were just terrible,’ he says. The band wanted to be creative, not make business deals, but (like the Beatles who famously signed a contract giving away the legal rights to all their early songs) the Stones also found it impossible: ‘everyone would just steal every penny you’ve got.’ The Stones took control in the 70s by employing a new manager, Rupert Lowenstein, who took over their assets and restructured the band as a company. Understandably, they appreciate his expertise: it has made them rich, but some criticise the Stones for adopting the ethics of corporate big business. How is it, for example, that they pay so little tax on their huge revenues? Nobody really knows because, as journalist Clive James recently remarked, ‘the truth about the Stones these days is that they are a highly successful corporation whose methods, like those of Google or Microsoft, are not really open for comment unless you have legal representation.’ The Rolling Stones: the best band in business?

Supermarkets and shopping centres have put many high-street shops out of business; however, they themselves are now affected by online shopping. This report looks at the latest trends in shopping and makes recommendations for the future. In my view, personalisation will be the key to success. Indeed, shops are beginning to use digital technology to monitor exactly what customers look at and what they buy. As a result, they can recommend items via customers’ smartphones that appeal to their individual tastes and interests. Despite the current trend being to replace sales assistants with automatic checkouts, experts say that since online shopping is impersonal, shops should compete by offering a very different kind of experience. In the future, shops will mainly be places where people go for personal services, such as beauty treatments. Furthermore, they will be considered as ‘fun environments’ where people can relax and interact. Technology will also allow shops to offer exciting new services. For example, it will be possible to buy things using a 3-D ‘printer’ which ‘prints’ your product. Customers buying clothes will be able to use 3-D avatars of themselves to try on clothes without undressing. Shops need to look at trends carefully in order to be more competitive. In spite of the great importance of technology, the key to success in the future will be to achieve the right balance of online versus personal or face-to-face services.

Not only was it raining heavily, but it was also absolutely freezing. There was nobody on the High Street. Business would be fairly slow today. A solitary customer was drinking his coffee slowly. At times like these, she wondered why she stayed in such an extremely dull town as Churchfield. It was an open secret that she longed to return to London and take advantage of everything there: theatre, art, music and better job opportunities. She was feeling pretty miserable until she remembered the next day was Friday and that she would see Jamie again. And of course, Jamie was the real reason she stayed around. He was based there and so she would put up with anything to be near him. Just thinking about him made her smile. She could never feel down for long while she had the chance of seeing him. The important thing was that Jamie was quite different to Andy, her ex-fiancé. Andy had seemed so charming and she had been madly in love. He had asked her to marry him and she had trusted him completely, but then just one month before the wedding, Andy had let her down badly, leaving her to travel around the world just when she had needed him most. She knew now he had simply taken her in with false promises and had never really intended to marry her. Sophie had been totally devastated. She had a lump in her throat when she thought about that time. Sadly, she hadn’t been able to tell her secret to her best friend, Gina.

Anyway, she finally moved out of the big city and lost contact with her London friends. Friday eventually came and Jamie arrived as usual after his guitar lesson. Not only did he play the guitar rather well, but he also sang beautifully. Sophie had often heard him sing in the café with his friends. He chatted to her and chose his favourite cake as usual. Sophie took it to his table and managed to listen to most of his conversation without anyone realising. She could never give away her secret. Jamie wasn’t old enough to understand yet, he was only fifteen. But when he was an adult, Sophie would explain everything to him: how she had watched over him in secret after her former boss and his wife had adopted him. It had taken Sophie a few years to find them after they had moved to Churchfield. No one else knew: it was the best-kept secret ever that Jamie was her son, and Andy was his father. 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

It is hardly surprising in a country with over one billion Hindus, that simply millions of pilgrims travel great distances to attend the celebration, making it the largest religious festival and pilgrimage in the world. Hindus believe that the water of the sacred rivers actually washes away sin, so unsurprisingly, bathing is central to the festival and pilgrims gather next to the rivers to perform this act of faith and patiently wait to take a ritual bath. At sunrise on the first day of the 55-day festival, the sadhus or holy men lead the way to the water. Like many other religions, Hindus have a variety of priests, or holy men and women, and follow a number of spiritual practices to understand the Divine more clearly. This often means undertaking difficult physical challenges and acting in blind faith, simply trusting that God will take care of them. Some sadhus don’t wear clothes and never cut their hair, some have taken a vow of silence and never speak, others simply stop eating and drinking and follow a strict fast. Nearly a million sadhus attend the festival and give blessings to the other pilgrims. Despite the immense crowds at the Kumbh Mela Festival, it is a moment of pure joy when pilgrims finally wash in the river, and of course, a highly emotional experience too. Once they have bathed, the pilgrims say prayers, make offerings at the shrines of different Hindu deities and listen to the words of the sadhus.

With God on your side everything is OK, isn’t it? Klaus COMMENTS The practicalities of housing and feeding millions of pilgrims over the two months of the festival may seem an impossible task. Nevertheless, the officials do manage to organise the crowds. In fact, a temporary city of over a million tents is put up along with 20,000 portable toilets, and 10,000 sweepers are employed to keep the place clean. Unfortunately, one of the biggest dangers for pilgrims is being injured by the enormous crowds, so there are about 50,000 policemen to help control the vast crowds.

Read the text and check your answer. Muslims all around the world pray in the direction of Mecca in Saudi Arabia. But why is this? Mecca is the location of the Grand Mosque which is the most sacred place in the Islamic world because at its centre there is an ancient building called the Kaaba. This black marble building dates back to pre- Islamic times, to about 2000 BC. It has been a place of pilgrimage since then and wherever they are and whatever they are doing, Muslims stop and pray in the direction of the Kaaba five times a day. In a corner of the Kaaba, there are pieces of an ancient stone, the Black Stone, which Muslims believe actually date back to the time of Adam and Eve. Muslims believe the Black Stone originally fell from Heaven as a sign from God to show Adam and Eve where to build an altar. Others think that the stone may simply be a meteorite. But whatever you believe, it is clear that the stone has always had a special sacred significance. All Muslims should go on a pilgrimage to Mecca once in their lifetime if they have enough money to do so and are in good health. When pilgrims travel to Mecca to complete the Hajj or pilgrimage, they walk anticlockwise seven times around the Kaaba and many try to touch or kiss the Black Stone, so the stone is highly polished from the millions of hands which have touched it.

You are going to read an essay entitled: Should faith schools receive government funding? Decide if the sentences (1-6) are arguments for or against. 1 Some faiths have messages which are incompatible with the national curriculum. 2 Religious organisations have historically always played a part in education. 3 Parents should be able to choose an education which reflects their moral codes. 4 Faith schools can cause segregation of communities. 5 Faith schools are important for sustaining the religion, culture, identity and language of different groups. 6 Children should study all types of religion to understand different values. Read the text. Is the writer for or against religious schools being funded by the government? 1a 1b 2a Should faith schools receive government funding? Faith schools in Britain have existed since the Middle Ages. Both the Church of England and the Catholic Church first founded faith schools in the 16th century to provide education to children from all social classes. These schools today receive some government funding, and parents also contribute. Yet, surprisingly, there is now considerable debate in Britain about whether faith schools should receive any government money. Many people think children should learn about all faiths, and they also believe that one religion should never be more important than another. However, I think parents have the right to choose an education for their children which reflects their personal beliefs. Despite being true that children should learn to respect others’opinions,they also need to identify with their own religion and culture. As regards the argument that faith schools lead to segregation of communities, personally I think this is simply not true. In countries with no state-funded faith schools, for example France, there are still problems with social integration. Another argument against faith schools is that certain beliefs might be incompatible with the national curriculum. For example, some religions believe in creationism, but the national curriculum teaches evolution. This is true in some extreme cases, even so, I firmly believe that if all schools teach respect and understanding, then faith schools are a valid educational option. To conclude, while schools need to teach children about all religions, still, nevertheless people should be able to maintain their own cultural and religious values. For this reason, I support the view that faith schools should be government funded. Faith schools have to follow the national curriculum except for religious studies, where they teach their own religion. 1 2

The teachings of Siddhartha Gotama, or Buddha, are used to inspire followers to live a life of peace, to be aware of their thoughts and actions, and to develop understanding or wisdom. The final goal is enlightenment and true happiness. Buddhism is not regarded as a religion because the Buddha is not a deity but simply a wise man. One of the principal beliefs of Buddhists is that when we die, we are reincarnated as another body. Depending on the way we have lived our lives, this rebirth can be as any living creature: human or animal. The Dalai Lama is the spiritual leader of the Tibetan Buddhists. Not only is he a religious figure, but he is also the head of the Tibetan government in exile. He is the 14th Dalai Lama, and at the age of 79, he is thinking about his successor. In a recent announcement, he has said that he may be the last Dalai Lama, but that this is not significant in the continuation of the faith. Buddhism existed 1,800 years before the first Dalai Lama, so the role has not always been essential. In this era of democracy and growing international pressure, it has been suggested that the political leader of the Tibetan government should be elected democratically. The Dalai Lama has also referred to the possible selection of a woman as the 15th Dalai Lama, adapting the traditional customs to the modern world. Whatever the outcome is, when he dies, he would like to be reincarnated in a position where he can continue to help humanity. The Dalai Lama, as well as other lamas, is chosen after the death of the spiritual teacher. Elderly monks search for the new lama and when they believe they have found a young boy who has connections with the deceased lama, they conduct a simple test. The child is shown certain objects, some of which belonged to the previous lama. If the boy selects the correct objects, then this is the sign that he recognises them, and he is the reincarnation. This happened to a Spanish child, Ösel Hita, who was found in 1986 and sent to be trained in an Indian monastery. However, when he reached the age of 18, he chose to leave the order and returned to Spain where he currently lives and studies. Even so, this has not perturbed the Buddhists who firmly believe that he is the reincarnation of Lama Yeshe, and ultimately, events will run their course. 44 TRACK 43 Buddhist tradition – moving towards change?
