The Do’s and Don’ts of Classroom Behaviour
Since school is the place where you spend a good part of your day, it’s a good idea to have a few rules regarding classroom etiquette in mind.
To begin with, it’s always nice to greet your teacher and the other students when you walk into the classroom. If you go to class after the lesson has already started, it’s polite to apologise to your teacher. During the lesson, you need to respect your classmates, as well as your teacher. That means you should pay attention to others when they’re speaking to the whole class, and you shouldn’t talk to those next to you while the teacher is trying to explain something.
Of course, all this doesn’t mean that the classroom environment needs to be strict and boring. Your teacher will certainly appreciate it if you have something funny to share with the rest of the class. Also, if you have any fresh and creative ideas about a class project or trip, your teacher will be more than willing to hear about them. After all, teachers run out of ideas too! Remember, teachers were once students themselves, and they know very well every now and then, the class needs to do something different from their usual routine and, above all, they know that learning should be fun!
1. You should never talk when entering the class.
2. If you are late, you need to bring a note from your parents.
3. You should never talk in the classroom.
4. It’s OK to tell a joke in the classroom.
5. You should feel free to make any suggestions related to school matters to your teacher.

A CLOTHES THROUGHOUT HISTORY D LESS THAN PERFECT
B WE ARE WHAT WE WEAR E THE INFLUENCE OF THE MEDIA
C PRIZED CREATIONS F ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY CLOTHES
1 William Ivey Long is one of the greatest costumes designers of our time. His extraordinary work is Hairspray, Chicago and other Broadway and off−Broadway plays has won him five Tony awards and twice as many nominations. His costumes are clever, original and a perfect expression of the character they are created for. The highlight in Long’s career was in 2006, when he was admitted to the Theatre Hall of Fame.
2 The next time you feel frustrated because you don’t have Nicole Kidman’s porcelain skin, Jennifer Aniston’s beautiful hair or David Beckham’s muscular body, have a look through some gossip magazines. It might make you feel better to see pictures of your favourite Hollywood icons without their make−up on. Take a closer look at a star’s picture that hasn’t been retouched, and you’ll discover that many of them are ordinary−looking people, just like you and me!
3 People have always had the need to set their own fashion trends, and there is no better witness to this fact than the Fashion Museum in Bath, England. With a display of original outfits dating from the 1700s to modern day, fashion enthusiasts will be thrilled to see not only authentic gowns worn by English kings and queens, but also some of the dresses made famous by the legendary Hollywood actress Marilyn Monroe.
4 With more and more people turning their attention to our planet’s growing problems, it’s no wonder that the fashion industry is also doing so. Eco−safe materials, organic colouring substances and even clothes made from recycled materials are now easier to find and are becoming more and more popular with today’s shoppers.
5 A long time ago, clothes were simply a way of covering our bodies. Of course, there have always been preferences in one style or another, but fashion rarely used to define who we are. Today, things are different. Our clothes make a statement about our personality and our lifestyle. Teens, especially, associate the way they dress with the image they want to show others. It’s not really about being fashionable anymore; it’s rather about showing our identity through our choice of outfit.

1) Match the heading (A to F) to the paragraphs (1 to 5). There is one extra heading.
A. CHILDREN AND TEENAGERS
B. SHOPPING FOR WOMEN
C. EXPENSIVE ISN’T ALWAYS BEST
D. THE EASY WAY OUT
E. DON’T WASTE TIME
F. THE WRONG GIFT
Choosing the Right Gift
1. Imagine spending all this time, money and effort in choosing the perfect gift for your friend and as soon as she sees it, the disappointment she feels is so great that no degree of politeness on her part can hide her reaction! You’ll probably feel quite embarassed, and she likely to feel quite awkward too, because of her reaction. Well, there are certain things you can do to avoid such embarassment.
2. To begin with, it is said that mothers, sisters, girlfriends, daughters and so on are more difficult to shop for, so do a little research before making your choice of gift. Pay attention to what the girl or lady you want to buy a gift for usually buys for herself. Think of her hobbies and interests or ask her to describe some of the best gifts she’s ever received. These should lead you towards a good choice.
3. Next, come the young generation. Buying a gift for a toddler or a child is as easy as choosing something for your adolescent friend or relative. After all, kids need toys and clothes while teens are happy with CDs or a pair of trendy jeans, right? Not necessarily! The little ones usually end up with too many toys or clothes, and teens go through so many mood swings and changes that you never know what makes them happy. Again, just ask what they’d like!
4. Of course, choosing the right present doesn’t have to be so stressful. What matters is not the amount of money that goes into your gift but whether your choice reflects your feelings for the person who receives it. Buying a pricey stereo or piece of jewellery may not be fully appreciated if they are just displays of wealth rather than thoughtfulness.
5. Naturally, there will be times when you simply don’t know what to choose. If that’s the case, the simpliest way to avoid giving the wrong present or worrying too much about what to choose is a gift certificate or something more general, like a big bunch of flowers or a nice box of chocolate. Presents like that are most often welcome, so you can’t really go wrong!.
2) Read the following text and choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D).
A DREAM COME TRUE
As a teenager, my brother Al used to invent little things as a pastime. After the gadget phase, he started making toy aeroplanes out of wood or plastic. His creations were quite implressive for someone so young. His room was always full of books about famous pilots and jet aeroplanes that he read again and again. His dream was to sell his model aeroplanes in his own shop one day, so he was determined to learn all about flying, and even designed all his models on a 3−D computer programme, before he built them.
Neither of my parents opposed Al’s decision. They both believed that people should be keen on their jobs, but our father wanted him to get a university degree first. Our mother thought that a good education was necessary, especially because she had doubts about if he could earn a good living with his aeroplanes. On the other hand, she couldn’t see how becoming a lawyer or a doctor for example, would help Al with the job he wanted to do.
When Al finished school, he finally decided to get a degree in architecture. During his studies, Al continued his hobby in his spare time, but also got involved in other things. He played football for a while, volunteered at the school’s library, and joined the drama club; though he soon decided that acting wasn’t for him.
As soon as Al graduated, he and another dozen students took a tour of Europe. The highlight of Al’s trip was France. He even considered moving there for a short time to improve his skills in French, but he wanted to return home to prove to himself that he could succeed as a businessman. Three years later, Al accomplished his goal, and today, he is so successful, that he has five shops in our city and is planning to open more around the country. And, who knows, maybe one day his model airplanes will be famous around the world!
- When Al was young, he wanted to be an inventor
- Al’s mother believed that Al might not earn enough money from the job he wanted to do
- While Al was at university, he got a job as an architect
- After graduation Al did some travelling
- Al wants to open five shops
