(B) The job market is changing rapidly as a result of
technological advance. That is the reason why/so/consequently/as a
consequence (D)the idea of continuing or lifelong education has
become more important than ever before. This idea is more or less
accepted all over the world because (E) people are afraid of losing
their jobs if they don’t keep upgrading and updating their occupational
skills. If, (C) today many people go back to school to broaden their
knowledge and learn something they enjoy doing, (F) in the future, all
of them will return to school mostly for occupational reasons.

Introduction
Examinations have an important role to play in any system of
education. Indeed, it is impossible to imagine a school which does not
set exams for students to measure their progress and to evaluate their
qualifications. However, if exams are necessary, they sometimes put
students under pressure and can cause stress-related conditions.

Summary
The interview is about the types of food consumers prefer
buying. According to the market researcher, the preference goes to
organic foods for two main reasons. First, they think they are safer to
eat than both GMFS and conventonial food. Second, GMFs have
received bad publicity. For the market researcher, the issue of whether
or not GMFS are safe to man’s health and the environment has not
been settled. So the debate about GMFs is likely to continue in the
future.

Task 1 (p.110)
The art of cooking requires the use of garlic. Of course, the eating
or consumption of garlic is generally not approved of. Working
71
beside someone who has eaten garlic is as bad as sitting beside
someone who smokes. But while smoking is definitely bad for you,
there is no doubt that eating garlic is good for your health and your
high blood pressure. We are likely to see more ‘No smoking’ signs,
but we won’t see an ‘No breathing’ signs for garlic eaters.
Cultivating and exporting garlic has become big business now that
so many people use it for flavouring meat and for making medicine
that reduces cholesterol. People often buy it when they do their
shopping. Being a garlic eater is something to be proud of and shows
that you enjoy healthy living.

We may live a totally different life in the next few decades
because modernity has brought with it a new life style. Nowadays
people take less time to eat, go to fast food shops to gulp hamburgers,
hot dogs and chips. In the future, we might have conventional food
being replaced by food substitutes like pills, or we might get our
nutrients out of crude oil; that would shorten meal times even further.
Conversely, many people are prepared to spend more time shopping in
supermarkets (and even on the Internet). A lot of them are now
becoming shopaholics, buying products that they don’t really need.
Their number will rise further in the near future.
This is partly because it is much easier to shop, especially as
more and more supermarkets are equipped with fast serving cash
desks which prevent long queues. In the future, shop assistants may
be replaced by robots which could actually do the same job as them,
with greater efficiency and in less time. That of course would
probably have side effects like an increase in unemployment.
Leisure will also change, because of the development of all sorts
of electronic devices, like the multimedia, cable television and other
contrivances. People will be less tempted to go out for a film, a play or
a concert. They’ll pay even less visits to each other because the cell
phone is such a convenient way to keep in touch. And what to say
about the Internet through which people can instantly chat with and
watch each other via the web cam! Alternatively, we’ll have more free
time to enjoy holidays at lower prices in distant places. But is this life
of the future the kind of life people would like to have? Couldn’t
modernity preserve social relations and be a means to an end rather
than an end in itself?

The text belongs to expository prose. It raises an issue a problem and
suggests a solution to it. The author uses the present simple because
s/he presents facts which are regarded as true at all times.

A. supposition/hypothesis/condition If indicates that the author is just
making a supposition.
B. Result/prediction

C. The main clauses are: They won’t get enough energy./ They will
put on weight. The subordinate clauses are the clauses which start
with if.
D. The main clauses can stand alone whereas the subordinate ones
depend on the main clauses for their meaning.

If you eat rotten food, you will have a serious indigestion. If you have
a serious indigestion, you will go and see a doctor. If you go and see a
doctor, he will hospitalize you for two to three weeks. If he
hospitalizes you, you will lose your job. If you lose your job, you
won’t earn enough money to buy good food. If you don’t have enough
money to buy good food, you will eat rotten food.

have enough energy.
2. If they eat too much food, they will put on weight.
3. If people eat too many products which contain a large amount of
fat and sugar …, and too few products which provide them with
enough quantities of fibre it is because of the many advertisements to
which they are exposed.

Task 2 (p.118)
Life is becoming increasingly expensive. So when shoppers/ buyers
do their shopping they are more likely to look at the price tags of the
products than at anything else. Saving even a little money by buying
poor quality goods helps people with a low budget to pay utility bills
and the rent at the end of the month. These savings also help to
purchase mobile phones for the loved ones

Food safety has become one of the major worries for mankind.
This worry has three major sources: the chemical contamination of
agricultural products, the use of additives, preservatives and
colourings in a large number of food products and the consumption
of ready-made food.
Perhaps the first cause for worry about food safety is the highly
intensive mode of farming and agribusiness now prevailing in
industrialised countries. This has led big companies to use chemicals,
76
fertilisers and pesticides to ensure maximum output. As a result, fruits
and vegetables are contaminated by chemicals which may prove
harmful to our health.
The second cause for concern is again related to mass
production, and the need to keep products fresh and attractive.
Consumer requirements have led manufacturers to introduce
colourings, additives and preservatives. Some of them have been
suspected of being dangerous while others have definitely been
classified as harmful by independent research laboratories. Scientists
maintain that some colourings and sugar substitutes can cause cancer,
diabetes and other metabolic disorders.
Finally, fast food and ready-made meals have led people to take
undesirable eating habits, like nibbling at work or at home, or having
frequent snacks in front of the computer or the TV set. More worrying
is the fact that the younger generation are the most prone to consume
fast food and soft drinks. These eating habits, as shown in “advanced”
countries especially, have caused a large part of the population to
become overweight or obese, and to develop diseases like diabetes or
high blood pressure. These are due to an excess consumption of
animal fat and fried food, as well as sugar and salt.
In conclusion, the conjunction of contaminated agricultural
products, processed foods and poor eating habits is indeed a good
reason to worry about food safety and to take corrective measures to
change or improve our attitudes to eating.
TAKE A BREAK (p.121)
Let the students describe the picture. Then elicit the humour in it.
Proverbs and sayings (p.121)
It’s no use crying over spilt milk. = It was a great pity that it
happened, but there’s nothing we can do about it now. Don’t regret.
Look to the future.
Equivalent proverb: What’s done cannot be undone.
Don’t teach your grandmother to suck eggs. = Don’t offer advice to
those who are more experienced than you are. The saying is often
used in the form of a retort. E.g. ‘Be careful how you use that chisel.
It’s very sharp and may slip.’
‘You go and teach your grandmother
