 “STUDY AND
WARM-UP Is it difficult to study and work at the same time? Go around the class and find a minimum of five classmates
that study and work at the same time. How do they feel about? Is it stressing? Or is it easy for them?

READING AND SPEAKING Read the text and then choose the right answer from the choices given.

For many, the idea of going back to college or

university (or considering a certification) while working a
full time job can be daunting. Handling a full time job and
your studies at the same time requires a good level of
planning and prioritisation. While some students would
choose not to work while furthering their education, there
is a massive group of students who are balancing a job
while studying for a degree. There are various reasons for
this but, generally speaking, money is key. Studying while
working gives you the confidence you need as you have
financial control as a student. At the same time, the
professional qualifications that you can acquire over time
will give you a good head start in developing your career.
To help you juggle your two lives with a breeze, here are
our top ten tips on how to study while working.
1. Create a Plan
2. Update Your Employer
3. Use Your Free Time Productively
4. Look After Yourself
5. Don’t Overdo It
6. Take Advantage of Technology
8. Make Sure You Get Enough Sleep
9. Turn off the TV
10. Eat Properly

WARM-UP When was the last time you learnt to do something in particular? What was it? What are the people in the

READING AND SPEAKING

1 Read this gapped-text article and then try to find the correct sentences to fill in the blanks. One sentence is not needed.
Most people associate learning with formal education at school, college, university etc. We
are all told, from an early age, that we should ‘get a good education’. Generally speaking, it
is true that a formal education and the resulting qualifications are important. Education
may maximise our potential to find better, more satisfying jobs, earn more and, perhaps,
become more successful in our chosen career. However, ‘schooling’ is only one type of
learning. (1) ________________________________.

(2)_________________________________. However, lifelong learning is about creating and

maintaining a positive attitude to learning both for personal and professional
development. (3) __________________________. Lifelong learning can enhance our understanding
of the world around us, provide us with more and better opportunities and improve our
quality of life.

There are two main reasons for learning throughout life: for personal development and for
professional development. These reasons may not necessarily be distinct as personal
development can improve your employment opportunities and professional development
can enable personal growth. (4) __________________________. For example, learning in whatever
context:

 Boosts our confidence and self-esteem

 Makes us less risk averse and more adaptable to change when it happens
 Helps us achieve a more satisfying personal life
 Challenges our ideas and beliefs
 Can be fun

A Learning is not an important issue for the government and this

is terrible.

4= B Learning for its own sake brings its own advantages.

3= C Lifelong learners are motivated to learn and develop because

they want to: it is a deliberate and voluntary act.
D Knowledge can be acquired and skill-sets developed anywhere –

learning is unavoidable and happens all the time.

LOTTERY”
UNIT 1
LESSON 1C

2 Check the Grammar Box and then complete the exercise

below.

Hypothetical Situations in the Present

We can use the Second Conditional to talk about something in the present that is impossible or
very unlikely to happen because it is not true or because it is unreal:

 If I won the lottery, I would buy a big house. (I probably won't win the lottery)
 If I met the Queen of England, I would say hello. (I don’t live in England)
 She would travel all over the world if she were rich. (She is poor)
 She would pass the exam if she ever studied. (She never studies, so this won't happen)
As noticed, we use the Past Simple form in the IF-clause to show that the condition is unreal. And
we use WOULD plus the verb in base form to show a hypothetical result. Let’s practice!
Complete the blanks appropriately with these words:
WOULDN’T GO – WOULD CALL – WERE - HAD
1) If I ______ his number, I _______ ______ him. (I don't have his number now, so it's impossible
for me to call him).
2) If I _______ you, I ___________ _____ out with that man. (I’ll never be you!)

Write an essay about what you would do if you found a wallet on the street with money in it. Would
you keep the money and give back the wallet? Or would you give back the wallet with all in it to its
owner? Do not write less than 140 words and no more than 160. Follow this example:
“I have never found a wallet on the street; but if I found one, I would…”

WARM-UP Have you ever experienced a really bad day? Do you have any regrets about that day? Which are they?

READING AND SPEAKING

1 Read the text and answer TRUE (T) or FALSE (F) or DOESN’T SAY (DS) to the sentences on the opposite page.

I’d been looking for a new job for a while, as I really hated my present one. I didn’t get on very well
with my boss and I found the job really boring, so it was definitely time for a change. I had seen an
advert in the local paper for a job that sounded absolutely perfect for me. I had to have it! I spent a
long time on my CV and wrote a really convincing covering letter. You can guess what happened…
On the day of the interview, I overslept! I must have forgotten to set my alarm the night before. I
jumped out of bed, quickly put some clothes on and rushed out the door but I was never going to
make it in time. If only I’d set my alarm, I would’ve been on time! I would normally take the bus but,
as I was running late, I decided the tube might be quicker. I ran down the escalators and jumped
onto the train, just as the doors were closing. I breathed a sigh of relief – I might just make it after
all. After a couple of minutes, I noticed that other people on the train were looking at me strangely.
Suddenly, I had a dreadful feeling. I looked down at my feet. I still had my slippers on! I must have
been in such a rush to leave the house that I forgot to put my smart black shoes on. This was a
disaster! What would the interviewer think of me? I still really wanted the job so I decided to carry
on. I got off the train and rushed outside. It had started to rain and I had forgotten my umbrella. It
was only a short walk to my destination but I decided to take a taxi so I wouldn’t get too wet. I stood
at the edge of the road waiting for a taxi when a huge truck drove past. I had been standing right
next to a big puddle and I was now completely covered in dirty water! I couldn’t go to the interview
looking like this. I decided to turn back and go home. Feeling very upset, I crossed the road to the
tube station. I obviously wasn’t looking because the next thing I knew, I was waking up in a hospital
bed with lots of cuts and bruises and a broken leg! I wish I’d never got out of bed that morning!

3 Study the Grammar Box and make sentences in the Third Conditional about everything that went wrong on the
man’s day. Example:

1 If he’d set his alarm, he would’ve been on time.

2 If he’d been on time, he would’ve arrived at his interview on time.

4 Let’s Talk! Tell the class a story about something strange or scary that you have experienced once.

THE THIRD CONDITIONAL

With the third conditional, we talk about the past. We talk about a condition in the past that did not happen.
That is why there is no possibility for this condition. The third conditional is also like a dream, but with no
possibility of the dream coming true. Example:

Last week you bought a lottery ticket. But you did not win. :-(

If Condition clause Result clause

Past Perfect would have + past participle

If I had won the lottery, I would have bought a car.

Mystery of the Red Truck

By Sally Nicholls, a local reporter.
It has been confirmed that late on the night of the sixth of July, a large red truck ran into the
bakery on Maryland Street. After an initial investigation by police, it is now clear that the truck
had no driver at all. The locals are asking a simple question: “Where was the driver?” If the
police want to solve this mystery, they will need the CCTV footage from the street.
One of the locals said: “We’re all quite worried about a truck with no driver. This truck has
never been seen in the neighbourhood before. If we’d seen that truck before, we’d solve this
mystery now.” Many locals share the same concerns. They want to know what’s happening in
their town.
A witness at the incident scene told the police: “There was a loud noise coming from the truck
while it was going towards the building and its speed.... it was unbelievable. If it had been
going slower, I would’ve had a chance to see the driver. But all I saw was the truck speeding
into the bakery as fast as it could. ’’
The police have already spoken with eleven other residents but no one knows any further
details about the incident. Superintendent Amanda Slippers remarked: “This is a tough case.
The truck licence plate belongs to this town, but nobody has seen it here. According to the
town records, the owner of the truck moved away from here years ago. No one knows where
to. If we located the owner, we'd probably solve this mystery.’’ If a truck moves, then it has a
driver. Well, maybe we should change this basic assumption on account of this mysterious red
truck.

1 MIXED CONDITIONALS We often hear that there are three types of conditional sentences in English: first, second
and third (or TYPE 1, TYPE 2 and TYPE 3). However, it is possible to mix the structures to express other ideas.

1. Past hypothetical situation with a present hypothetical result

 If I had taken programming at school, I'd have a job at Google now.
 If I hadn't eaten so much cake, I wouldn't feel so sick.

2. Present hypothetical situation with past hypothetical result

 If I were smarter, I'd have gone to Oxford University.
 If I were taller, I'd have become a basketball player.

3. Future hypothetical situation with past hypothetical result

 If I weren't going on holiday next week, I could have attended the job interview.
 If I weren't going to the wedding, I'd have agreed to visit you.

2 Practise! Match the sentences halves with their corresponding pair.

1 If I were you, C A he would be working here now.

2 If they weren't traveling to France on Thursday, B B they would have planned to attend your
birthday party.

3 If Nick had turned in his application, A C I would have bought the red dress.

Nouns They can be countable or uncountable. Countable nouns can be counted, e.g. an apple, two apples, three
apples, etc. Uncountable nouns cannot be counted, e.g. air, rice, water, etc. When you learn a new noun, you should
check if it is countable or uncountable and note how it is used in a sentence. Here are some things to consider when
using countable and uncountable nouns:

a) Some words are almost always uncountable. c) The noun may be countable in your language
education / happiness / traffic but that does not mean it is in English.
advice / equipment / homework / information /
b) Some words can be both countable and music / rice / work
uncountable, depending on their meaning.
i) I’ve always been interested in business and think d) Uncountable nouns can be used in what is

Why is it that so many of your favourite singers and bands start out with songs that really strike a chord with you but end up
recording stuff that is unbelievably bland? The really powerful songs are often those that express the life of an individual for
whom social reality is a problem. The individual reacts either by wanting to give something a good kicking or by withdrawing.
From these different sources, we get, on the one hand, aggressive rock music with lots of angry guitar playing and drum
thrashing, while, on the other hand, we also have quieter songs that express the frailty of the individual lost, alone and perplexed
in the urban labyrinth. The singers and bands that can give such a perfect musical form to feelings like these generally lose their
magical touch for one or more of the following reasons:

1. Drugs. Contrary to popular belief, drugs aren't a great source of inspiration to the artist. Users are more likely to slip into a
routine of spending all their time watching daytime television in rooms with the curtains drawn. Those who don't just dabble
in drugs but develop a full-blown addiction lose their creativity as they become more and more obsessed with trying to keep
the artificial high going. In the moments of lucidity between popping pills, snorting coke or shooting up they feel so crap there
is no possibility of a creative burst of songwriting. Since the members of a band need to be working together on the same finely
tuned wavelength, if any of them are getting lost in their private hallucinatory worlds the music is bound to suffer.

2. Losing touch with your roots. The best pop music is rooted in the hopes and fears and frustrations of ordinary guys on the
street. Before the band makes it really big their songs still speak of things the rest of us can identify with. Once they make it, the
original drive to be sincere can lead to them writing songs about expensive hotels, limousines, groupies, and all the trappings of
stardom - songs that only other popstars can identify with, and that consequently mean absolutely nothing to the rest of us.

3. Finding God. In the most powerful pop songs the individual is out on a limb, relationships are fragile and the only thing that
really matters is the here and now. It's essentially an insecure world and, as such, it is godless. Popstars who soothe their private
angst by finding God or Allah or Buddha or whatever no longer see the world in the way it has to be seen to write powerful pop.
The edge, the friction, the tension is lost and so the music becomes bland.

4. Falling in love and settling down. A careful look at the history of pop reveals that this is the most common cause of popstars
losing their touch. Pop music is based on dissatisfaction, whether it be with love, life or the state of the world - pop is an
expression of need, want and desire - so it follows logically that as soon as a popstar gets what s/he wants, inspiration flies out
of the window. A popstar loaded with money in a villa with a pool and the love of their life by their side have nothing worth
singing about. Their musical repertoire narrows down to lullabies for their new-born babies.

Other people who prefer to believe in a scientific explanation have suggested that electrical
forces in the atmosphere caused this and other incidents.

Suddenly, a strange light seemed to be on top of the car, sucking it up off the road before
dropping it down again.

Meanwhile, a local lorry driver following the same route as Mrs. Knowles confirmed that he has
also seen the strange light in the distance.

In a state of shock, they drove to the nearest town and reported the incident to the police.

At the station, thinking that the woman must have been so tired that she was dreaming, the
police gave her a cup of tea hoping to calm her down.

Finally, the police agreed to inspect the car and when they did, they saw the dust, smelt the
smell and also noticed some small dents in the roof of the car.

Feeling terrified and out of control, the family noticed a black powder seeping inside their car
and smelt a horrible stench.

This story was quickly taken up by some people as proof of the presence of aliens on earth.

When she saw a light flashing on the road ahead, she slowed down thinking that it was a traffic
signal.

Mrs. Knowles and her three sons were driving from Perth to Adelaide in the early hours one
morning in 1988.

2 Let’s Talk! Do you think this story was real? What do you think of this comment from a well-known
newspaper?

“UFOs Are Real, But Don't Assume They're Alien Spaceships. Aliens shouldn't be the default
explanation for weird stuff in the sky. UFOs are very real, as we have recently seen — but that doesn't
mean E.T. has been violating our airspace.” "UFO" refers to any flying object an observer cannot readily
identify. And pilots with the U.S. Navy saw fast-moving UFOs repeatedly off the East Coast throughout
2014 and 2015, in one case apparently nearly colliding with one of the mysterious objects, The New
York Times reported earlier this week.
