●​ 1 What different kinds of emergency services are there?


●​ 2 How do you contact the different emergency services in your country?
●​ 3 Do you know any emergency services numbers in other countries?
●​ 4 The police are there to protect, inform and educate. Do you agree with this
statement?

listening in detail
It’s often important to understand detailed information at a phrase and sentence level, and
understand how the details relate to each other.
●​ • Read the questions and answer options carefully.
●​ • Identify the key words in the questions and answer options.
●​ • When listening, focus on the whole message not individual words and phrases.
●​ • Don’t choose an option based on hearing one word or phrase that appears in that
option.
final /t/ and /d/ sounds
●​ English speakers don’t often pronounce the /t/ and /d/ sound at the end of a word
when the next word begins with a consonant. If the next word begins with a vowel
sound, the sounds are linked. And is often pronounced without the /d/ sound, even
when the next word begins with a vowel sound.
○​ We’re talking abou(t) the emergency services. He call(ed) the police an(d)
ask(ed) them to help.
○​ What abou(t) you? Have you heard any unusual stories about emergency
services?

WRITING : writing a for-and-against essay ■ useful phrases for topic
sentences
●​ Do you know anyone who has done any of these things? Did he/she get caught?

writing a for-and-against essay


We write for-and-against essays to discuss both sides of an argument.
• Organize your essay into paragraphs. Aim for a minimum of four paragraphs: introduction,
arguments for, arguments against, and the conclusion.
• Start each paragraph with a topic sentence (a sentence that clearly introduces the topic of
the paragraph).
• Include at least one main point in each paragraph and support this with examples.
• Use formal language and an impersonal style. However, you can put your personal opinion
in the conclusion. Use phrases like I believe that, in my opinion, in my view.
• Don’t use contractions, such as isn’t, don’t. Use full forms instead.

useful phrases for topic sentences


On the one hand, smartphones can be very useful in certain situations.
On the other hand, people tend to talk to each other less.
The main advantage of smartphones is that they can be very useful in certain situations.
However, one disadvantage is that people tend to talk to each other less.
To sum up, most people take their smartphones everywhere, which has both advantages and
disadvantages

website … .

reviewer, who would or wouldn’t enjoy the experience?

We use adverbs of attitude to say what we think about something.


We had dinner at a famous steak restaurant. Surprisingly, they had vegetarian dishes.
I had heard great things about the hotel, but unfortunately, it had closed the previous month.
The waiter was very rude. Clearly, he had more important things to do than serve us!

1 unfortunately 2 obviously 3 hopefully 4 Luckily

Horse and Holiday: Positive: The trip was great – it was well organized with helpful guides;
the views of the mountains are breathtaking; Luckily, they were very sympathetic; the trip of a
lifetime. Negative: it’s definitely not for beginners
