Slide 2 - Tekstslide

CHARLIE’S PLACE
Charlie’s is a new American restaurant, near the subway on Fifth Avenue. It is open 365 days a year,
including Christmas. The prices are very reasonable – that’s probably why it’s popular with young people
and parents with kids. Charlie’s does good hamburgers and chips, but why are there hardly any salads or
vegetables? There is karaoke every evening from 10.00 pm to 3.00 am. It’s a relaxed and informal
restaurant and there are always lots of customers. Service is very nice, fast and helpful. Go there with all
your friends and have fun but not if you want to stay slim!

Slide 11 - Tekstslide

Learning to swim
a) Rachel Robbins: I learnt to swim when I was a teenager. I went to the local swimming pool with
my two sisters. It was old and cold and not very nice. I can still remember my instructor: his name
was Colin Firth, like the actor. But he wasn’t as good-looking!

Slide 12 - Tekstslide

Learning to swim
b) Geoffrey Hopkins: It took me a long time to learn. I wasn’t a natural. I still don’t swim very well. I
certainly wouldn’t like to be in a boat in rough seas. I never really learnt to put my face in the water.
It hurts my eyes and I can’t see.

Slide 13 - Tekstslide

Learning to swim
c) Simon Fordham: My father was a swimming instructor so I guess it’s in the blood. I can’t
remember a time when I couldn’t swim. I spent most of my childhood holidays at the beach and I
still go at any opportunity I get. 

Slide 14 - Tekstslide

Learning to swim
d) Karen Marks: One day I was standing by the deep end of the swimming pool and I suddenly fell in. 
I don’t know how I did it but I managed to get to the side. I was coughing but I could swim! My
brother saw me when I got out and thought it was very funny. But he didn’t laugh when I hit him. 

Slide 15 - Tekstslide

Learning to swim
e) Phillip Parker: I was on a small boat with about ten other boys. It was very small and someone
pushed me in the water. The water was very clean and I could see everything. I remember feeling
very peaceful and comfortable, I wasn’t worried at all. I started swimming, not very well, but
another boy helped me to return to the beach.

Exercise 3
  • Read the e-mail and answer the questions with a short phrase.

Slide 23 - Tekstslide

Hi! How are you? Thanks for the e-mail. Sorry for not answering sooner. I’ve just come back from
Angra Dos Reis, Brazil, with Maria. I’m very tired because we couldn’t get a direct flight back. We left from
 JFK airport at six o’clock this morning! We had the most wonderful time in Brazil. We stayed at the Green
 
Park Hotel, which is about six kilometres from the town. It was very comfortable and good value for
 
money. I can definitely recommend it. The weather was great – very hot and the people were superb. The only problem was the food. There wasn’t much variety and I got bored eating the same things every day. The first week we spent in the gym and on the beach. Then Maria’s parents came for the second week. 
 All the best.
