Speaker 1 Kevin is very quick to think negative things about people. Even when he talks about his best friend, he always tells you about his faults. And if somebody hasn’t got any faults, he invents them

That’s ‘cause I 

am

 the older brother and I’m looking out 

for you.

3

You can imagine what my mum thought when the doctor 

told her the news!

4

I was two and a half when the triplets were born and I think it

was a real problem for me.

5

One day I was sunbathing in the back garden and all my 

clothes came floating out of the upstairs window.

6

I ran upstairs and we had an argument, but I did try to be 

tidier after that.

1.30  Lesson 5G, Exercise 3

There is a family sitting on a sofa. The photo seems to show

a family discussion. It looks as if the son is in trouble. He 

must have done something wrong. Judging by their 

expressions, I’d say that the parents are worried about him. I

might be wrong, but I think the mother is asking him to 

explain something. I can’t be certain, but I don’t think she’s 

shouting at him. However, the father looks quite cross, so 

maybe the boy has done something to offend him.

A balanced training schedule also means eating properly, so

here are the best fitness foods.

No doubt you refused to eat vegetables when you were a 

child, but now broccoli, which is full of nutrients, should be 

part of your diet. Eat it with a little oil and salt and you’ll soon

forget saying it tasted horrible!

Accompany broccoli with sweet potatoes and tomatoes. 

Both are full of vitamins, especially vitamin C. 

I regret to say that red meat is out. Although it’s a good 

source of protein, it contains too much fat. It’s much better to

eat fish, especially salmon. You must eat fruit – don't forget 

to eat plenty of bananas, the perfect energy food. Bananas 

contain fibre, which helps your body absorb the sugar they 

contain slowly so we produce energy for longer. Nuts are 

packed with minerals and make a perfect snack, but be 

careful! They’re high in calories and you could put on weight

if you eat too many of them! 

If you exercise in the evening, it can be difficult to sleep, so 

try drinking a glass of warm milk before you go to bed. Milk 

stimulates chemicals in the body that will make you feel 

sleepy and of course the calcium in milk is excellent for 

making our bones stronger.
