Dylan’s mum:
Dylan:

Teacher: Please be quiet!
Close your books! For homework write 100
words about your life.
Dylan: My teacher’s name is Miss Harris. I like her.
She’s always happy.
School finishes at 4 o’clock but I don’t go
home.
After school I usually go to a club. There are
a lot of clubs in our school. I like doing lots of

things. I like swimming but I don’t like acting.
I hate acting.
Hi. My name’s Dylan.
Anna:
Hello, Dylan. I’m Anna.
Dylan: This is Anna. She’s a new girl at the school.
I get home at 6 and we all have dinner. Dad
likes cooking a lot.
After dinner I do my homework and write about
my life. I include some false information ...
ha, ha!
I go to bed at 9 o’clock. Goodnight!

Good morning! Time to get up!
I’m Dylan. I wake up at 7 o’clock and I
get up at 7.10. (OK, I don’t always get
up then – maybe at 7.20 or 7.30)
Hurry up!
I haven’t got much time before school.
First I clean my teeth. Our house has
only got one bathroom – and I’ve got
two sisters.
Dylan’s mum: Hurry up!
Dylan:
Then I get dressed. At my school we
wear black trousers (not jeans!), a white
shirt, a green sweatshirt and black
shoes (not trainers!) Ugh! Some girls
wear a skirt or a dress.
I have breakfast with my dad and

watch TV.
Dylan’s mum: Have you got your house key and your
lunchbox?
Dylan:
I pack my bag for school. Yuck, there
are lots of horrible things!
I go to school by bus with my sisters.
Dylan’s sister: Hurry up!
Dylan:
I meet my friend on the bus. We get
to school at 8.30 – just in time.

Do you need to switch off more?
How often do you do nothing? For a lot of young people
the answer is never. When we sit down and relax, we’re
always doing something. We watch TV, listen to music
or send text messages. We sometimes do all three at
the same time. We hardly ever just sit quietly and stop
thinking. But our brain uses a lot of energy during the
day and gets tired. We need to stop thinking and switch
off from time to time. Switching off helps us to relax
completely and feel full of energy again.
Do you need to switch off more? Answer the questions
in the survey to find out.

Welcome to Newtown School TV! Here you can
watch video reports from different schools in
Newtown. My name’s Tom Swift, and I study at
Farm Wood school.
Today I’m in an IT class at my school, and I’m
here to find out about the Raspberry Pi. What
exactly is the Raspberry Pi? It sounds like
something you eat.
Well, we just call it the Pi, and it’s a computer.
Is this it? It’s very small.
That’s right. It’s a very simple computer. But it
works really well!
So tell me about it.
Well, you can connect it to a monitor or a TV,
and it has USB ports to connect a keyboard
and mouse.
Can we switch it on now?
Yes, of course.

Can it connect to the internet?
Yes. There’s a port for a fast internet
connection.
Right. So what do you use the Pi for?
We use it to learn how computers work.
And sometimes we use it to write code.
Code?
The instructions for a computer. With code, we
can create our own games and programs.
That’s amazing. I have no idea how computers
work.
The Pi may be small, but it can do lots of
things! And it’s from the UK. It’s a British
invention.
Right. Great. One final question. Does it make
lunch?
Sorry?
Talking about the Raspberry Pi is making me
really hungry!

In New York, it’s common for several generations of a
family to live in the same home. One in ten households
has three generations or more. As Ethan explains, living
together has its advantages and disadvantages.
‘We have a lot of relatives in New York and our home
is like a meeting place for everyone. Every day we see
our cousins, uncles, aunts … It’s a fun place,’ he says.
But communication can be difficult. ‘My dad is originally
from China and my grandad doesn’t speak much
English. And we’re just kids, you know. We see life in a
different way. So sometimes we argue. But I think that’s
normal.’
Ethan doesn’t only argue with his father and grandfather.
‘There isn’t a lot of space here and I share a bedroom
with my brother, Nick. So sometimes it’s hard, you know,
to be alone … to study. And Nick never tidies the room.
Mom says, “How can you live in this mess?” Mom and I
argue a lot. I forget to do things like feeding the fish or
sorting the recycling.’

on Broome Street, Liyu Wang is cooking dinner for his
family. His wife, Victoria, is laying the table and their
two sons – Ethan, age 15, and Nicholas, age 14 – are
tidying their room. The boys’ sister – Alexis, age 11 – is

is sitting on the sofa, watching television, while Felix the
cat is watching the family’s pet fish.

Have you got the Felix Factor?
When Felix Finkbeiner was thirteen years old, he made a
speech at the United Nations in New York. He spoke in
English and his message was simple – save the world’s
forests. How did a boy from Germany become ‘an
environmental superstar’?
The story starts in 2007 when Felix did a project on
climate change at his primary school in Starnberg, near
Munich in Germany. He saw some information online
about Wangari Maathai, a Kenyan woman. She started
a tree-planting campaign in 1977 and won the Nobel
Peace Prize in 2004. Felix thought her campaign was

interesting and he decided to talk about it in class.

At the beginning of 2011, the International Year of
Forests, Felix made his speech at the United Nations.
He asked world leaders to ‘stop talking – start planting’.
In the same year his campaign reached its goal of
planting one million trees in Germany. He also travelled
to Kenya and met Wangari Maathai. And it all began with
a school project.

Last year I was in Florida with my family. One day we
were walking through some long grass near a river when
I saw a snake. The snake was eating a really fat frog!
It was holding the frog’s head in its mouth – but the
frog wasn’t moving. It was horrible! As we were walking
away, I looked back – the snake was still lying there but I
couldn’t see the frog.

This photo isn’t from the Antarctic ice sheet – it’s from
the zoo. I went there with some friends last weekend. I
was watching a baby penguin with its mother, she was
feeding it. While she was doing that, another penguin
came and stood next to them. I think it was the father. It
was a really nice family picture.
I live on a farm in Australia, near a big desert. Last
week I was helping my father on the farm, when I saw
these ants. There were hundreds of them and they were
carrying food back to their nest. The pieces of food were
bigger than them, so they were all helping the others. I
watched them for ages.

Unit 3, Page 36, Exercise 6a
Track 1.38 / Bey_A2plus_U03_036_1.38.mp3

His presentation was a success, and he gave the same
presentation to other classes. Two months later Felix
planted his first tree and started a campaign to plant
a million trees. He called his campaign Plant for the
Planet.
Students at other schools joined the campaign. Together
they planted 50,000 trees in Germany. They made a
website for the campaign and soon other countries
began taking part. They wanted to meet Felix, so he
started to give presentations outside the country. In
November 2008 he spoke to the European Parliament.

Marc: We could wear green clothes to school – green
socks or a green hat.
Ben: No way! I’m not going to wear green.
Lucia: Why don’t we all walk to school?
Marc: Yes. Or cycle here.
Ben: I don’t know. I live really far away and I don’t have
a bike. Let’s do a survey and ask people their
opinions about the environment.
Lucia: That’s a bit serious. What about making
something from recycled materials?
Ben: That’s a nice idea.
Marc: Yes, but it doesn’t really help the environment.
What could we do to really make a difference?

OK. So first you beat the eggs in a large bowl like this.
After that, you chop an onion – carefully. Don’t forget to
do it on a chopping board.
Then you heat some oil in a frying pan and fry the
chicken.
Here’s some lemon juice. You pour the lemon juice into
a saucepan and stir slowly.
Now, with a knife, you cut some bread. I love the smell
of fresh bread!

About this recipe

I love food but I don’t have much time to cook. This is
one of my favourite recipes because there aren’t many
ingredients and it doesn’t need a lot of preparation. All
you need are some potatoes, an onion, a few eggs, and
some oil. It’s easy. Try it and see.

Ingredients

500g potatoes
1 onion
150ml oil

6 eggs

Method
1
2
3
4
5

Cut the potatoes into small pieces. Chop the onion.
Heat the oil in a large frying pan. Add the potatoes
and onion and fry for 20–30 minutes. Stir
occasionally until the potatoes are soft.
Beat the eggs in a bowl.
Add the potatoes to the bowl and stir with the eggs.
Before you pour the mixture into the frying pan, add
some salt and pepper. Then cook on a medium heat.
To cook the top of the omelette, put the frying
pan under the grill for a few minutes. Or turn the
omelette in the frying pan.

Tip
Don’t cut the omelette when it’s very hot. Wait for it to
cool (about 10 minutes).
Zach’s Food Facts
Many countries have their own types of omelette.
The Italian frittata contains cheese, vegetables, and
sometimes pasta. An Indian omelette has a lot of
spices. There are eggs and tomatoes in an Iranian
omelette. The classic French omelette has … eggs!

Do you know any egg recipes?

Unit 4, Page 45, Exercise 1
Track 1.49 / Bey_A2plus_U04_045_1.49.mp3

There isn’t much food. There are a few eggs. And there’s
some pasta – about half a packet.
How many eggs are there?
Three. And there’s a little cheese, too – but not much.
Is there any bread?
No, there’s no bread. But there are a lot of vegetables.

Reporter: It’s a summer evening on the streets of
London and there are a lot of young people
everywhere. But this group aren’t just having
a good time … they’re looking in bins outside
a supermarket. … Er, why?
Emma:
Well, every year the world wastes 30 percent of its
food.
Reporter: 30 percent? And nobody eats it?
Emma:
That’s right. Europe and North America waste
about 100 kilogrammes of food a year for
each person. … So we’re part of a group
against waste food. A few nights a week, we
take some food from supermarket bins.
Reporter: But those bins look very dirty! Is it healthy to
eat food from there?
Emma:
A lot of people say it’s dangerous. I think it’s
OK if you’re careful. I always check the date
on the packet. Food from the same date or
the day after is usually OK. At home I always
wash everything and I never take pieces of
meat or fish. That can make you really ill.
Reporter: So what’s in your bag tonight?
Emma:
Er … a loaf of bread …, a few apples …, two
cartons of milk … um … a little cheese …

not much …, a jar of jam and two packets of
pasta.
Reporter: So the supermarket just threw that away?
Emma:
Yeah, supermarkets throw away so much food
– boxes of biscuits, bottles of water, cans of
cola …
Reporter: But isn’t it wrong to take food from
supermarkets?
Emma:
Well, the supermarket doesn’t want it. In my
opinion it’s wrong to waste good food.

Narrator:

You will hear a restaurant owner talking to
some guests at a restaurant. Listen and
write the missing information.

Restaurant
owner:

Welcome everybody. Can I just tell
you something about the restaurant? My
name’s Jarek and I’m one of the owners.
As you probably know, this is a vegetarian
restaurant. We don’t use any meat, meat
products or fish in our dishes – no meat or
fish at all.
When we opened the restaurant we
wanted to offer fresh healthy food. In
our opinion, it’s important to know where
everything on our menu comes from. We
think it’s also bad for the environment to
transport food a long way. So we decided
to buy only local food. We use mushrooms
from the local forest and all our other
vegetables come from our own garden. We
buy our dairy products from local farms
and bake all our own loaves of bread.
The lunch menu today includes soup, a
main course and dessert. For main course
we have pancakes with vegetables and a
cream sauce, and potatoes. If you’d rather
have rice instead of potatoes, we can do
that. The other choice is an omelette with
onions, tomatoes and spices. That comes
with a bowl of salad and bread.

For dessert, you can have a piece of
chocolate cake with chocolate sauce or ice
cream with fruit – or with chocolate sauce
if you prefer that.
If you’re allergic to anything or can’t eat
flour, please tell your waiter or waitress;
we can make something different for you.
To drink, I’d like to recommend the apple
juice. We make our own juice from the
apples in our garden behind the restaurant
and we think it tastes fantastic. We also
have milkshakes.
Oh, I forgot to say that the fixed lunch
menu costs nineteen euros ninety-nine.
Somebody will come and take your order
soon, but I’ll be happy to answer any
questions now. Thank you.

Narrator:

Now, listen again.

really quiet so I’m always the one that’s talking

I could talk so much!
Oh – oh, er, hi, my name’s Jason and I’m 14.
I’ve got this great new mobile phone and it’s

I also would like to try some dangerous ones.
… No, thanks.
Hi there, I’m Matt. I’m 15 years old and I love

things with my brothers and my friends. Mum
says that sharing is important. Here – you

What do your doodles say about you?
We doodle when we’re bored with doing something
or when we’re waiting. Doodles can be shapes and
patterns or objects. Some people believe your doodles
(like handwriting or dreams) say something about your
personality and feelings. So what do your doodles
mean? Find out here!
Size and colour
Big doodles show you’re confident. Small doodles
show you’re shy or want a quiet life.
Dark colours mean you’re serious but bright colours
mean you’re feeling cheerful.

•
•

Shapes and patterns
Triangles and squares or boxes mean you’re
organised and good at planning. Emotional people often
draw circles and round shapes, while competitive people
draw chess boards and other ‘game’ shapes.
Stars and arrows mean you’re ambitious and you
work hard.
If you draw the same pattern a lot of times, you’re
patient and good at concentrating.

•
•
•

Objects
A nice face shows you’re a cheerful and open person.
But an ugly face means you’re scared of trusting people.
A funny face means you like attention.
Kind, friendly people often draw flowers. Hearts mean
you’re in love – or want to be in love! And houses mean
you want to be safe.
All types of transport mean you want to travel or get
away from a problem. Butterflies and birds show you like
being free and aren’t interested in doing difficult tasks.
Finally, if you often doodle your name, it shows you
think about yourself a lot. But the name of somebody
else means you’re thinking of that person ...

puzzles to train your brain and keep it working quickly.
Why should we do brain puzzles?
We all know the importance of eating a balanced diet.
If we eat well, our whole body works better and we
feel better. We all know how important it is to exercise
regularly, too. To have a healthy heart we should
exercise for 30 minutes at least three times a week. But
did you know that our brain needs exercise, too? We get
a lot of our intelligence from our parents, but between
20 and 50 percent of our intelligence comes from how
we use our brains. So if we regularly use our brains to
do puzzles, we actually become more intelligent!

Welcome to this month’s ‘Exercise at your desk’! If you
do these simple exercises every day, you’ll feel better
and you’ll study better! All you need is a chair and
three minutes. But it’s very important to move slowly.
If you’re not careful, you’ll hurt yourself. Are you sitting
comfortably? Then let’s start!

Teenage boy: Er, hi. Shall I start now? Right. Erm.
Where shall I start ... er ...
Male teacher: Quiet please, Ruben’s talking.
Teenage boy: Yes, well, you all know my hobby. Well,
most of you. It’s a really old game.
Er, thousands of years old. I can’t
remember how many thousands. Lots.
Er, it originally came from ... from ...
I’ve got it here somewhere ... no I can’t
find it. I think it was India. And I started
playing when I was really young. I think
I was six, or five. My uncle taught me
to play. And it’s great. I really enjoy it.
They say it’s good for your brain, so
that’s good. Maybe you should all try it.
Yes, I definitely recommend it. Chess is
a great game. So, has anyone got any
questions? Right, well, that’s it. Can I sit
down now?

First, stand up and sit down. But don’t use your hands.

Now do the exercise again.
For the next exercise, try to touch your ears with your
shoulders. Count to ten.
Then do it again.
Next, look up slowly, then look down. Now do it again.
Finally, turn your head from side to side. If you do it
slowly, you’ll relax your neck. Now do it again.
For the third exercise, stretch your arms out in front of
you. Point your fingers down at the floor. Count to ten.
Now turn your hands over so that your fingers are
pointing up. Count to ten.
Next, stretch your arms above your head. Try to touch
the ceiling. Count to ten.
Finally, try to touch the middle of your back with your
right hand. Use the other arm to help you. Count to ten.
Do the same with the other arm.
And now the last exercise. First, look down. Next, slowly
move your chest forwards and try to touch your knees
with your chest. Relax your arms and neck. Now hold
your right elbow with your left hand. If you pull your arms
up, you’ll stretch your back and shoulders.
And that’s it! Have a great day!

MIND AND BODY

Unit 6, Page 71, Exercise 7

However, later this year, you’ll need to
make some important decisions. You’re
all going to continue studying subjects

like maths and science, but, you’re also
going to choose some other subjects. Now,
these choices might influence what you do
in the future, so I think you should start
thinking about which ones to take.

Doctor:

I’m afraid you’ve got the flu.
What should I do?
Should I take some medicine?

So, what’s the best way to do this? I think
there are three things you can do. The
first is to think about what you’re good
at doing – but also what you’re not good
at. For example, if you’re good at learning

languages, choosing Arabic or Chinese
will be a good choice. You’ll probably
get good marks, and speaking a foreign
language might help you get the job you
want one day. But if you’re scared of
talking in public, drama might be a good
option. Because if you’re shy, drama will
help you to become more confident, and
communicate better.

Perhaps you could take an aspirin.
I think you should probably stay at home.
Maybe it’ll be best for your team if you don’t
play.

Unit 6, page 71, PHRASEBOOK
Track 2.11 / Bey_A2plus_U06_071_2.11.mp3

Say what’s wrong
I’ve got a cough/temperature/runny nose.
I’ve got a headache/a stomach ache/backache.
My head/stomach/back hurts.
I’ve got a sore throat.

The second thing you should do is talk to
teachers of new subjects. That way you’ll
get a better understanding of what the
different subjects are about. And with that
in mind, your teacher is going to invite
other teachers to your class over the next

few weeks. They’ll talk to you about their
subjects and you’ll also have the chance
to ask questions.

Ask for and give advice
Should I go/see ... ?
What should I do/take?
Perhaps you should ... / Maybe you should …
Shouldn’t you go/play ... ?
I think you should probably stay/take ...

And finally, you should talk to your parents.
I’m sure they’ll give you good advice, but
when you talk to them, you shouldn’t be
afraid of telling them what you would really
like to do. You might think a subject you’re
interested in taking isn’t serious enough,
but it’s important to be open and honest.
You might be surprised at their reaction!

Today’s TV tip: The world’s most dangerous jobs
About the show
This series looks at some of the world’s most dangerous
jobs. Pilots, war journalists, fishermen, even taxi drivers
and construction engineers put their lives in danger
every working day. In each programme, we’ll follow two
brave people with hard jobs.
About this programme
Cleaning windows isn’t an easy job. But for James it can
be a life or death task. James is an extreme window
cleaner and cleans tall office buildings up to thirty floors
high.

Not everyone can do this job. You don’t have to be
Spiderman but you mustn’t be scared of heights. James
had to have special training and he uses a lot of safety
equipment. He looks like a mountain climber, not a
window cleaner!
Strong winds or rain can be very dangerous when you’re
on the outside of a skyscraper. James regularly checks
the weather and his equipment. He knows that if he
falls, he’ll die. We follow him on a typical day.
Training wild animals is never boring. Malee knows that
– she’s a crocodile trainer in a zoo in Thailand. Her job
is to train crocodiles in shows for tourists.
Personality is important if you want to be an animal
trainer. You must be patient – and very brave. Malee
didn’t have to take any exams for this job, but she has
to know how crocodiles behave. She also has to know

how to react quickly!
Every day Malee risks her life to entertain tourists. In
the show, she puts her arm in the mouth of a crocodile
or lies with her head in its mouth. The crocodiles are
4–5 metres long and their teeth are huge. Will Malee
always be lucky?

Interviewer: Paige, can you tell us about your apps?
Paige:
I’ve developed three apps. My first app
PaigeeDraw helps people learn how to
draw Manga. It shows how to draw faces,
eyes, hands and complete characters. …
My second app ChibiDraw helps people
become more confident at drawing. …
Finally, I created PaigeeDraw Boys. Many
people have asked for help to draw boys.
Interviewer: How did you get your ideas?
Paige:
I had the idea for PaigeeDraw when I was
14 years old. When I was learning how to
draw Manga, I had to search sites all over
the internet for help. So later I decided to
make tutorials. Most of my friends had a
mobile device, and there were no apps.
Interviewer: Mm … was it hard?
Paige:

It definitely wasn’t easy to start. It took
two years to develop PaigeeDraw. Luckily
my father, my mother and even my brother
helped me a lot. My advice to others is:
Don’t stop trying! You can do anything you
want.
Interviewer: Have the apps been successful? How many
people have used them?
Paige:
PaigeeDraw has been a huge success.
People across the world have downloaded
the apps over 200,000 times.

Director: George Lucas
Stars: Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a film called
Star Wars opened and became one of the most
important films in cinema history.
There has never been a film like Star Wars. The film’s
characters have become universal symbols of good
and bad. Phrases like ‘May the Force be with you’ have
entered the English language, and it has had a huge
influence on other films.

There are several reasons for the film’s importance.
Firstly, it used different genres in one film. Star Wars
was a science fiction film but it was also an adventure
film. Many of the film’s ideas also came from westerns.

Secondly, it was one of the first films to use computergenerated special effects successfully. Thirdly, it was
one of the first big summer films.
Today we call big, expensive, successful films
‘blockbusters’. Most blockbusters arrive in cinemas
between the months of May and September. For
example, the Pirates of the Caribbean, Spider-Man, and
Transformers films are all recent summer blockbusters.
Finally, Star Wars was one of the first films to produce
merchandise. Apart from the six films and the TV
series, there have also been Star Wars books, comics,
magazines, DVDs, action figures, board games, video
games, T-shirts, cups …
For all of these reasons, especially the last one, I
believe Star Wars changed cinema forever. Have you ever
seen the original Star Wars film? If you have then I’m
sure you’ll agree with me.

It’s never a good time. You’re always busy.
What do you want to talk about?
Nothing. It isn’t important.

I thought the film was a bit slow.
The ending was amazing.
The story wasn’t very real.
I thought the acting was terrible.
The film was funny.
The special effects were fantastic.

What’s on TV?
Nothing much.
Have you ever watched Tara Stone?
No, I haven’t. What is it? A comedy series?
No. It’s a thriller. It’s really good. You should
watch it.
What’s it about?
It’s about this woman. Her name’s Tara Stone.
Really.
Well, that’s not her real name. She’s a secret

agent and she travels in time.
So it’s a science fiction series.
Well … yes, I guess it is. Anyway, she has to
find these criminals. They’ve stolen the secret
of time travel and now they’re travelling in time
too, and changing history.
Why are they doing that?
To make money. Tara has to find them before
they change something really important. So
in each episode she travels to a different
time in the past and changes her identity.
She’s already been an ambulance driver in
the Second World War and a journalist in the
1960s. In the last episode she was a pilot.
It sounds good.
It is. It’s fun and you learn something about
history at the same time. You must watch it.
Please! I’m surprised you’ve never seen it. It’s
won lots of prizes.
Have you watched that documentary film yet?
Which one?
The DVD I gave you last month, remember?
Oh … yes, I watched it last weekend.
What did you think of it?
I thought it was … OK. It was a bit boring.
Really? I thought it was really interesting.
I must give it back to you. I’m sorry.
That’s OK. You don’t have to give it back to
me. It was a present.
Really? That’s really nice of you, Matt. Thanks.

Narrator: Now, listen again.

Octopush or underwater hockey is a popular sport in
Australia and New Zealand, South Africa, the USA and
the UK. There are six players on a team. To play, the
team needs two goals and a special puck. Each player
needs a short stick, a snorkel and flippers. Players also
wear a swimming costume or trunks, swimming hat and
a glove. The aim of the game is to get the puck into the
other team’s goal. It’s a fast and fun game.
Sepak takraw or kick volleyball is a popular sport in
Southeast Asia. There are three players on a team. To
play you need a volleyball net and a special light ball.
Players wear shorts, T-shirts and sports shoes. The aim

of the game is to get the ball over the net – with your
feet, knees, chest or head. You can’t use your hands!
It’s an exciting and difficult game.

Our sports report: Football isn’t just fun!
All over the world, organisations use football to help
young people with problems. In some countries, football
programmes keep bored kids off the streets and away
from crime. In other countries, the programmes work
with kids who have no homes or no parents, or kids who
have HIV or AIDS.
Why football? Well, millions of people play football and
billions of people watch it. You don’t need expensive
equipment. You can play it in the street without a
football pitch, proper goals, expensive football boots or
a real ball. And football, like many other sports, teaches
you skills which are useful in all areas of life: teamwork,
fair play and respect for others.
Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya is a very poor area where
200,000 people live. Most of the people that live here
survive on very little money and many of them eat
only once a day. There’s rubbish everywhere and little
healthcare. Half of the people here have HIV or AIDS.
In 2000, a football program started for boys and girls.

It aims to help them believe in themselves and gives
students health and life skills education. Students learn

about HIV and how to protect themselves against it.
They also do activities that help to improve life in the
area.
A new life for Josephine
I live with my grandmother and my sister. My parents
both died two years ago. I started to go to football
training to forget my problems. Now I play because I
love the sport. Before I didn’t go to school because we
didn’t have money to pay. But the organisation has a
free school and I get lunch there, too. It’s like a new life
for me.

Reporter: So it’s the big day today … Red Sox against
the Yankees, the two best baseball teams in
the world. And we’re at home with Liam, the
Red Sox’s biggest fan. Liam, you have all the
fan stuff …
Boy:
Yes, I have a Sox jacket, hat, gloves, a watch,
a phone case … everything …
Reporter: Cool. And how do you feel? Are you relaxed or
worried?
Boy:
Really relaxed. Nobody can beat the Sox!
Reporter: Fantastic … let’s go!
Reporter: So Liam, we’re outside the baseball field and
just listen to those fans … how do you feel

now?
Liam:
Really excited! It’s amazing. Games between
the Sox and the Yankees are always more
exciting than other games.
Reporter: Well, let’s watch it!
Reporter: Well, er … the Sox don’t seem as good as the
Yankees today … one of the least interesting
games of the season. How do you feel Liam?
Boy:
Well, I feel disappointed, of course. The Sox
were as good as the Yankees at the start
… but then I don’t know what happened …
they just haven’t been confident enough. …
It’s really worrying. It’s the most important
game of the season and I think the Sox will
probably lose …
Reporter: Oh dear, nine to three for the Yankees. The
worst Sox game ever! Ooh that was a very
depressing experience for Sox fans. … How
do you feel, Liam, after that terrible game?
Nine to three, oh man …
Reporter: Oh, OK. No comment from Liam, but he does
NOT look happy …
