02:18Do you know how to use passive voice?
02:22Passive. Passive voice means those actions that...
02:26It's a grammar function of the English.
02:32Uh-huh. It's to give the action to...
02:42The subject is the action, not the person.
02:46I remember this kind of...
02:50It's the object becomes subject.
02:54Well, no, I'm asking you because this is a good example to use passive voice.
02:58For example, you could say a nickname is a name given by the people that know you.
03:06Uh-huh. Okay.
03:08It's a shorter expression that helps you to express this with the best participle verb.
03:14But, okay, we will study passive voice some other day.
03:18So that's good. Okay.

05:47Okay.
05:50Conversation 4.
05:51So your name is Anthony Harris.
05:56That's right. But most people call me by my nickname, Tony. So it's Tony Harris.
06:01Mr. Harris, tell me what you do for a living.
06:03I'm a salesperson. I work at a large electronics store in Chicago, in the United States.
06:08So you're American.
06:09Actually, no. I'm from Toronto, Canada. But I've been in Chicago for over ten years.
06:14So Canada is really home for you.
06:16That's right.
06:20Now listen again, and check yes or no, to indicate whether the person has a nickname.
06:27Okay. So here we have the main conversations, you know.
06:30So we're going to say one more time for, uh, given details, right? So here we go.
06:37Conversation 1.
06:39Mr. Yumaz.
06:41Please, call me Serhat.
06:42Okay. Serhat. Is that your nickname?
06:45No, it's my first name. I don't have a nickname.

06:56That's a really beautiful city on the Mediterranean coast.
06:59And what do you do?
07:00I'm a computer programmer.
07:04Okay. So here's the first conversation.
07:08Jonathan, what did you understand from here?
07:12The first one is Turkish, and he, he is a computer programmer.
07:25A computer programmer, right?
07:27So he's Turkish, he's a computer programmer.
07:31Does he have a nickname?
07:32Does he have a nickname?
07:33No.
07:33No, he, I don't remember.
07:47So let's see, uh, what about you? Do you agree with the information?
07:51Um, yes, but he doesn't have a nickname.
07:58He doesn't have a nickname. Okay, that's good.
08:01So that's the point.
08:04So, Paola, what does a computer programmer do?
08:07Um, I'm, I'm not really sure, but I think they write, uh, codes.
08:21Mm-hmm, okay, yes.
08:23For, um, that give, um, instructions, um, to certain, um, to, to do certain, um, activities.
08:39Mm-hmm, activities about what?
08:42Um, like, virtual activities, I think, uh, they are, uh, commands for, uh, for different, um, program, uh,
09:00Well, I, I don't really know what.
09:02Okay, well, in this case, in Cambridge?
09:05Yes.
09:05In Cambridge, it's important that you learn how to make concise, logical, and short answers.
09:13Okay.
09:14If you, if you answer yes, no, I don't know, it's gonna be a problem for you in your punctuation.
09:21Because whenever you hesitate, whenever you doubt in a Cambridge exam, there are many points that are taken from you.
09:29Because that is understood as you don't know how to explain your idea.
09:33You know, so try not to use answers, short answers, extreme short answers, like, yes, no, I don't know, I'm not sure.
09:43Because in a Cambridge exam, it's important for you to speak, to maintain a conversation, a fluent conversation, with logical answers, where you can interact continuously, by doing, by making questions, by doing, um, new interactions, you know.
10:08So, that's important to practice, and the best way to practice that is to read and to write.
10:18So, whatever you read, you have to be able to explain it.
10:22And, uh, in order to practice that, you have, you have to practice your writing, for example.
10:32Let me show you.
10:34Whenever you're not sure what to write, or what to express in any question, you can do some research.
10:42For example, if you're asked with, with a question of, uh, what does a programmer, what does a programmer do, you know, or what does a programmer commonly do, you know.
11:01So, if you don't know about your answer, you can do some, uh, short research, some small, uh, research, right here.
11:13For example, you can say,
11:15What do they do?
11:22So, programmer, what do they do?
11:24And, uh, you know, you have short descriptions.
11:27The idea is not for you to simply copy and paste, you know, that's not the idea.
11:32The idea is to find an article, like this one, so that you can, you can read, and, uh, and you can write.
11:43So, for example, in this case, computer programmers design, develop, and test software, and ensure software adheres to best practices in performance, reliability, and security.
11:57Here you have three good concepts, you know, performance, reliability, and security.
12:02Computer programmers can work developing mobile applications, coding video games, programming websites, and much more.
12:11So, there you have a general idea.
12:13You even have a video that you can watch, or the full article to read.
12:17So, once that you have read, here you have three types of computer programming jobs, you know, mobile app development, computer game programmer, or, uh, what's the other one, web developer.
12:33So, once that you read, you have plenty of information to use as a reference, so that you can continue writing, you know.
12:43So, what does a programmer currently do, according to what we have read, a programmer, a programmer, a programmer is a person that has software, software programming knowledge, knowledge in order to develop applications, applications, um, what was the other one?
13:12So, for example, some of my series records, while it comes to art scientific озotros, a programmer, a entrepreneur, a programmer, a programmer, a programmer, a programmer, a programmer, a programmer, a programmer, a programmer, a programmer, a programmer, a programmer, a programmer, he talks about that sequence.
13:23You can use the fan, if it's the fan takes off.
13:25Even if it's the person that you can use either, if it sticks, they can use an app, can be a person that you can use the right, he talked about, you as an app settings, you may be able to use an app right now to make a character on the decisions, make什么 sen戴, to express them back int seja MUIef 2.
13:26Slotps, kit, as an appuno special, Ganja gaming technology invisible app, and this is the people that it means Amazon app likes to compare all of importance.

15:42...all around the world, you know, so, or worldwide, or companies worldwide.
15:51So, you have a pretty extended idea here to use, you know, in your description.
15:58So you have to practice this.
16:00Once that you know how to organize your idea, you know, in a written context, it's going to be a lot easier for you to express it, you know.
16:10It's going to be a lot easier for you to express it.
16:12Then, when you have written this, when you have written this, you have to practice your pronunciation.
16:21And you can read it as many times as you need to understand the concept, to understand the idea, and eventually to be able to express it in a fluent way, you know, without having the necessity to look at your notebook, you know.
16:42So, so that is a practice.
16:46But what did we do, what did we just, what did we just do here?
16:50We read and we wrote, so, so the points to develop this, the points to develop this are point number one, reading, and point number two, point number two, writing.
17:09And in order, point number three, in order to write correctly, you have to revise your grammar foundations, you know.
17:16In order, in order to write properly, you need to revise your grammar foundations, you know.
17:23So you need to check your grammar.
17:25If you didn't study grammar, it's going to be a lot more complicated to organize your ideas and to know how and what to write and how to express an idea.
17:38So grammar is key, you know, grammar is crucial to do this.
17:48So that's the practice.
17:50And you have to practice this every day before the Cambridge exam.
17:54I'm going to show you, I'm going to show you a simulation of how the Cambridge test is done in a video, you know.
18:02So, once that we finish this activity.
18:05Do you have any questions, so far?
18:17Thank you.
18:18Okay, that's the point.
18:21So, let's check it out.
18:26So, yeah, in the Cambridge try to elaborate your answer as much as possible, right?
18:31Because if we answer, for example, I don't know or I'm not sure, we are going to lose points in the Cambridge test.
18:40And that makes the difference from getting a B1 or B2 to a C1 certificate.
18:48You know, that makes a huge difference.
18:51So, that's what it is.
18:54So, let's check it out.
18:56The next conversation, right?
18:58Here we go.
19:01Conversation 2.
19:04Good evening.
19:05Good evening.
19:06It's Keiko Nakamura?
19:08That's right.
19:10But all my friends call me KK.
19:12So, tell me, Miss Nakamura.
19:14What do you do?
19:15I'm a graphic designer, actually.
19:17Oh, how interesting.
19:18And where are you from?
19:19Well, I'm from Japan.
19:21I live in Tokyo, but I'm originally from Osaka.
19:24I was born there.
19:25Okay.
19:26So, then we have the other one, right?
19:27So, Fatima, what about you?
19:28What did you understand from this conversation?
19:29Where is she from?
19:30What's her nationality?
19:31Does she have a nickname?
19:32Um, her name is Kiko Nakamura, but she has a nickname.
19:49Mm-hmm.
19:50It's Kikei.
19:51Um, she's a graphic designer, and he is from Japan.
20:00She was born in Osaka.
20:02Excellent.
20:03Very good.
20:04So, a graphic designer, right?
20:05That corresponds to the second picture.
20:07So, do you know anything about graphic design, Fatima, that you could tell us a little
20:24bit about that profession?
20:27Um, a graphic designer is a professional who communicates ideas through images.
20:43They use colors and forms to make designs, and images could be printed or digital.
20:56Okay.
20:57Okay.
20:58Okay.
20:59Excellent.
21:00Uh, very good.
21:01That's, uh, fantastic.
21:03A graphic designer.
21:06Do you know any graphic designer, Fatima?
21:11No, I, uh, no.
21:16I'm not.
21:17No.
21:18Okay.
21:19No.
21:20I'm sorry.
21:21So, that's, uh, the point, you know.
21:23So, let's listen to the next one.
21:25Conversation three.
21:28We're talking with Pilar Rodriguez?
21:33That's right.
21:34Pilar.
21:35Pilar Rodriguez.
21:36No nickname, Pilar?
21:37No.
21:38Just Pilar.
21:39Okay.
21:40So, you live in Uruguay, right?
21:42Well, I live there now, in Montevideo, but I'm actually from Buenos Aires, in Argentina.
21:48And what do you do, Ms. Rodriguez?
21:50I'm an interpreter.
21:51I work for the Uruguayan government, actually.
21:54Do you travel for your job?
21:56I do a lot.
21:57I often go to Buenos Aires, Brasilia, Santiago, Chile.
22:04Conversation.
22:06Okay.
22:07So, in this case, we have a number three, you know, that's, uh, the point.
22:12Uh, Alejandro, what, uh, did you listen to that?
22:16Okay.
22:17Well, the girl is from Buenos Aires, Argentina.
22:20Yeah.
22:21She's an interpreter, and she doesn't have an enigma because her name is Pilar.
22:26Uh, I think that the essential skill of an interpreter is a strong listening, a memory, uh, analytical
22:36skills, as well as fluency in both the source of the target languages.
22:41Uh, be culturally aware and able to adapt to different communication styles.
22:49Uh, they have to use the, the tone, the intonation, um, uh, fluent.
23:02And because they have to be translating in the moment during conversational presentation,
23:06so they have to be aware of everything that the person is talking or describing because
23:13they, they have, they, she's not going to translate because she needs to interpret it.
23:18to interpret and it's, this is very different.
23:21Mm-hmm.
23:22This requires, uh, many skills in the language because she has to read, she has to, uh, to
23:33write, she has to listen and she has to speak.
23:36So, uh, every one of these four skills, uh, of the, of the language, she has to, uh, have
23:42them very developed.
23:43Okay.
23:44Very well developed.
23:45Yeah.
23:46Excellent.
23:47Very good.
23:48Great description.
23:49Thank you very much.
23:50Thank you.
23:51Welcome.
23:52So that's the point, you know, an interpreter, that's great.
23:54Which are very, uh, necessary some, sometimes, you know, so that's good.
24:00And then we have, uh, number four, if I'm not mistaken, this is going to be the salesperson.
24:05So let's check it out.
24:07Four.
24:08So your name is Anthony Harris.

24:22Did you, uh, did you understand what this person said?
24:36The editor.
24:49The editor, his name is Tony Harris, but he, by the way, called Anthony.

28:15And complete each statement.
28:16So we have to listen to infer the information.
28:19So Sarat, you know.
28:20So this person that he grew up in London, Ismael, or Ankara.
28:24Do you remember that information?
28:26Ankara.
28:27I believe that their answer is letter A.
28:28Okay.
28:29Excellent.
28:30Very good.
28:31So then we have number two.
28:32Her birth.
28:33Okay.
28:34Okay.
28:35Okay.
28:36Okay.
28:37Okay.
28:38Okay.
28:39Okay.
28:40Okay.
28:41Okay.
28:42Okay.
28:43Okay.
28:44Okay.
28:45Okay.
28:46Okay.
28:47Okay.
28:48Okay.
28:49Okay.
28:50Okay.
28:51Okay.
28:52Okay.
28:53Okay.
28:54Okay.
28:55Okay.
28:56Great.
28:58Okay.
28:59Okay.
29:00Okay.
29:01Okay.
29:02Okay.
29:03Okay.
29:04Okay.
29:05Okay.
29:06What do you remember about number two?
29:07Sure.
29:08My birth place is Osaka.
29:09Okay.
29:10Excellent.
29:11Very good.
29:14That's a point.
29:15Then we have number three.
29:17She's originally from Buenos Aires, Montevideo, or Santiago.
29:21Alejandra, what do you think?
29:24She's from Buenos Aires
29:26Excellent, very good
29:27And number 4, his hometown is Chicago, Toronto or New York
29:33Fernanda, what do you think?
29:38Toronto
29:38Toronto, right? Excellent, very good
29:41So that's fantastic
29:44Toronto, that's a point
29:46Joel, do you agree with Fernanda about number 4?
29:54Yes, teacher, I agree
30:00Okay, excellent, very good
30:04So we're gonna watch a little bit
30:07A description, well a video actually
30:12Of how it's
30:14Cambridge
30:16Cambridge Test
30:18Cambridge Interview C1
30:22So that's a point
30:24So here we go
30:30Let's check it out
30:32So
30:38So as far as I know
30:40In this school
30:42The Cambridge Test
30:44Cambridge Test is gonna be online
30:46You know, this is a video
30:48Of Cambridge Test applied
30:50In
30:52A face-to-face session
30:54With two students, with two people
30:56That
30:58That may seem a little bit different
31:00You know, but it's
31:04It's gonna be similar
31:06Whenever you take your exam online
31:08The only difference is gonna be that
31:10You're gonna be on your own
31:12You know, face-to-face
31:14With a teacher by
31:16A webcam
31:18Or
31:20A FaceTime session
31:22You know
31:24So we're gonna see how a Cambridge Test
31:26And
31:28This is supposedly to be the C2 Proficiency Speaking Test
31:30With two students
31:32Dirk and Anik
31:34And
31:35Cambridge
31:36English Students
31:37So here we go
31:38Thank you
31:48Good morning
31:50My name is Sally Mattson
31:51And this is my colleague
31:52Jill Budgie
31:53And your names are
31:54Dirk
31:55And Anik
31:56Could I have your mark sheets please?
31:58Yes
31:59Thank you
32:03First of all, we'd like to know something about you
32:05Where are you from Dirk?
32:07I'm from Holland
32:08I'm from Haarlem
32:09It's near to the west coast of Holland
32:12And you Anik?
32:13And I'm from Zurich, Switzerland
32:14Are you working or studying at the moment?
32:16I'm studying at the moment
32:17But now I'm taking a gap year
32:19So obviously I'm not studying
32:21I'm studying English
32:22And you?
32:24I'm having a gap year
32:26I finished my high school this summer
32:29And I'm going to university next summer
32:32Can you tell us something about your plans for the future
32:36In terms of work?
32:38I want to become a doctor
32:40I want to improve the health of human beings
32:45And Anik, what do you think you'll be doing this time next year?
32:50Well, I'll be doing my bank internship
32:53Which takes 18 months
32:56So next year obviously I'm going to be there
32:58And taking my exams probably pretty much
33:01Thank you
33:03Now in this part of the test you're going to do something together
33:08Here are some pictures of different situations
33:11First I'd like you to look at pictures A and D
33:18And talk together about the sounds you might hear in these situations
33:23You have about a minute for this
33:25So don't worry if I interrupt you
33:27Okay, on picture A you can see I think some kind of jungle
33:31With chimpanzees
33:32Yes
33:33So I guess there are a lot of natural sounds
33:36Like leaves moving and maybe some water
33:39Maybe there's a river nearby
33:41Maybe the roaring of the chimpanzees as well
33:44Yeah
33:45Or gorillas
33:46I don't know some kind of apes
33:48And yeah
33:51Maybe also some birds
33:53Yes
33:54Because there are going to be a lot of birds
33:55Definitely
33:56And what other animals could there be
33:59Well just
34:02Different kind of insects maybe as well
34:04But I don't think you hear them a lot
34:06A lot D
34:08I think the splashing of the water
34:10Definitely of the sea
34:11I mean the sound of the rolling plastic objects
34:17Yeah
34:18But I don't think you hear any people
34:20Because it doesn't look so nice there
34:23No
34:24So I think it's going to be pretty much silent there
34:27Yes
34:28Thank you
34:29Now look at all the pictures
34:30I'd like you to imagine that an environmental organisation
34:33Is planning a poster campaign
34:35To raise public awareness of environmental issues
34:39Talk together about the environmental issues
34:42Suggested by these images
34:44Then decide on an image for the poster
34:47Which would be most effective in raising public awareness
34:51You have about three minutes to talk about this
34:54I think the environmental issue in the first photograph
34:59Is about the extinction of animals
35:03Of animals
35:04Lots of species
35:05Yes
35:06Yeah but you cannot really see that they're not doing well
35:08It looks like a typical calendar picture
35:11Or it doesn't look too bad
35:14So I don't think this is a suitable picture
35:17They're having a good life in there
35:20Yeah
35:21It seems like
35:22They look happy with the baby on the back
35:24Yes
35:25What do you think about bee?
35:26Bee
35:27I also don't think it's that suitable for the campaign
35:29Because it also
35:31It's
35:32I don't think
35:33It makes a big change for the awareness of the people
35:36If they see the picture
35:37Because they probably won't connect it
35:39To pollution or deforestation or anything
35:42The only thing here is like the plastic, copper
35:45I don't know
35:46Maybe it's a glass
35:47Yeah maybe it's the pollution of water
35:49So you can reuse it
35:50Yeah
35:51Because this is obviously like
35:53I think
35:54Yes
35:55Crazy water
35:56Like filter water
35:57Yeah I know
35:58From the spring
35:59So I also don't think this is
36:00No
36:01I don't think
36:02I think
36:03See
36:04Yeah it's
36:05It's a rather good one
36:06You see all the
36:07It's a third world country
36:10Developing country
36:12Certainly
36:13Yeah and you can also see in between all the forest parts
36:16So maybe there was a lot of forest deforestation going on before
36:20So they could build houses
36:22Yeah
36:23So this would be I think one of the better pictures for the campaign
36:28Yes definitely
36:29Because you can see that there has been some deforestation
36:32Yes I think these are good
36:33And probably also then loss of species because the animals don't have their normal habitat anymore
36:38Yeah because of the trees
36:40Yeah
36:41Yeah they cut down all the trees
36:42I think these are good ones as well
36:44Yeah I agree
36:45It's a common picture
36:46Because normally beaches are supposed to be nice and families want to spend their time
36:52there or go for a stroll and if it looks like this I'm pretty much certain that no
36:57one wants to go there so this would raise awareness
37:01It looks like such a well-known white beach with the light blue water but it's all polluted by plastic
37:08Yeah but to be honest pretty much every beach looks kind of similar nowadays
37:11Because everyone's just throwing away their coca-cola cans and so it's quite common
37:18But it's very hard to make little bins on all beaches
37:23Yeah
37:24What do you think about it?
37:26Well it looks like I don't really connect it with environment because they're just old used cars that are being compressed
37:33Yeah maybe they use the metal again
37:36Yeah but also I wouldn't use it for the campaign
37:40No I think
37:41So I think we choose D
37:43Yeah it's the best one definitely
37:44And I think E is really bad because you can use metal again you can recycle it
37:51Yeah and D actually affects the people
37:54Yes definitely
37:56Thank you
37:57Now in this part of the test you're each going to talk on your own for about two minutes
38:06You need to listen while your partner is speaking because you'll be asked to comment afterwards
38:11So Dirk I'm going to give you a card with a question written on it and I'd like you to tell us what you think
38:18There are also some ideas on the card for you to use if you like
38:23Alright?
38:24Here's your card
38:25Thank you
38:26Please let Anik see your card
38:28Remember Dirk you have about two minutes to talk before we join in
38:33How important is it to make long term plans?
38:40I think in personal life it's quite important to make long term plans because you're able to know what you want to become when you're old and what you want to earn for money and what you want to do for the community for your country
39:01I think in talking in shorter terms it's good to know what you want to do this year it's long term as well but it's shorter term
39:17In work, school, it's really for yourself important to know what you want to do after school so you have good grades in certain subjects
39:34So that you will be able to show other people after school that you like the things that you're good in
39:49In government it is of course very important to make long term plans
39:57If we look at the whole euro crisis now they all didn't make such good plans to see if the credibility of the countries was right before they entered the euro
40:21So it's really important to look at certain aspects in parts of the community in government
40:34Thank you
40:35Why do some people prefer not to plan ahead?
40:39Well some people want to be spontaneous and I also think that's actually quite a good idea to sometimes just say let's pack a suitcase with let's say a bikini and some trousers
40:49And then I just go to the airport and just pick one flight wherever it takes us
40:54So I think this is also quite good but I think when it comes to important things like planning a family it's very important that you plan ahead to have a good job so you're financially stable
41:05So it depends you cannot always be spontaneously spontaneous
41:10What do you think?
41:12I think it's for most people just laziness not to make long term plans I think they don't want to think about it and that's the reason they don't think about it
41:25Thank you
41:27Now Anik it's your turn to be given the question
41:30Here's your card
41:32Please let Dirk see your card
41:34Remember Anik you have about two minutes to tell us what you think
41:37What do you think?
41:39In this case in this part of the video we can see a simulation of how a Cambridge test is done
41:46You know like they are presented with some pictures to discuss or with some questions to answer
41:58And they have to elaborate, they have to make a discussion, they have to make a conversation and they have to follow by making questions and answers
42:09And answers you know so that's the speaking part
42:13The written and the grammar part is well you will have to read some texts and you will have to elaborate your opinion in a written way
42:22So that's how a Cambridge test is done for example here it says what factors will influence how cities develop in the future of climate in the climate finance and population aspects
42:35So you have to make questions about these and to discuss
42:38Right that's the idea of a Cambridge test
42:41Alejandro do you have any questions so far?
42:45Knowing out here everything is very well explained and as you were telling us that we have to sustain our answer with the facts and because this is very important
42:59Yeah it's it's like the main point of the Cambridge you know that you are able to describe to explain for example in this case this question is very interesting because it talks about the influence of cities of how cities will develop in the future which is a very common topic these days regarding the problems that we have in global warming and societies and
43:26And you know natural resources and you know natural resources how it's going to be our life in the future
43:35So this is a good topic for discussion so you can start by saying well climate change is really important to have into consideration because in the future it's going to be crucial to preserve our natural environment in order not to suffer different crises worldwide
43:52And you know and you know and you have to elaborate and you have to elaborate and you have to make questions and and that's the point of conversation
43:59For that reason it's important for you to read you know as in the example that I send you to the whatsapp group the example that we that we wrote
44:10It's important to read in order to increase our vocabulary and to increase our knowledge of the English grammar
44:21In order to express ourselves better and
44:25And eventually to write you know we have
44:29We need to write our opinions to practice our writing and the way in which we express our ideas
44:39And by doing that we can be aware of the grammar mistakes that we could have or we can be aware of the different points that we may struggle with at the moment of expressing ideas
44:57You know so all of that is important
45:00You can practice this by using very simple pictures for example we can say
45:11Let me show you
45:13We can say that we can use the picture of a family having a picnic in the forest for example
45:22For example for example if we
45:26If we add this picture here
45:29And we say
45:31What do you see?
45:33What do you see on this picture?
45:35Or what is the activity going on?
45:37Or how many people do you see there?
45:39How many children are there?
45:41What are they doing?
45:43Are they having fun?
45:44Are they looking amused?
45:45Are they looking bored?
45:47Sorry
45:49Are they looking excited?
45:51So you can express different things and you can make questions about them
45:56And that's the practice you know
45:58You can describe different pictures
46:00You can go from simple pictures to complicated pictures
46:04And that is going to help you to practice to increase the vocabulary as they are doing in the video
46:12So let's watch a little bit more about these questions and how they develop the idea
46:21So here we go
46:22And there are some ideas on the card for you to use if you like
46:25Alright?
46:26Yeah
46:27What factors will influence how cities develop in the future?
46:31That's a very good question because I think
46:34Because of the rising population nowadays
46:37That's very important right now to think about the future
46:40So when it comes to population we can definitely see that there is going to be more people in one city
46:49So probably they have to build more houses, higher houses, build more skyscrapers
46:55People are going to live in much smaller spaces
46:58And also I think the living standard is going to get a bit down
47:02Because you probably won't be able to have a garden
47:04And your own house will just share a small flat probably in the big cities
47:09Also you have to deforest forests in order to make space for buildings
47:18So I think the cities are just going to get more packed with buildings
47:24And the nature or the sceneries are going to suffer from that
47:28And financially, well, they could develop in different ways
47:35I think everything is getting more expensive every day
47:39Because the resources are getting rarer
47:43And yeah, I think also the price of water is going to raise
47:48And energy and the fuel obviously
47:53And yeah, just like things like petrol
47:55And climate, well, we are experiencing global climate changes
48:01Global warming
48:03But I think not every city is affected so far
48:08So probably in the jungles or like rainforests
48:14The seasons are not really going to change
48:17Because they are always at the equator
48:20But other cities like, not really cities, but let's say the Antarctica
48:25I think all the ice shelves are going to melt at some point
48:29And then just the animals are going to suffer and also the people there
48:32Thank you
48:34Is it important to preserve old buildings in cities?
48:38I think so
48:40Because if you want to have the old scenery that we had in the early days
48:46Many, many people used to are usually looking back to the good life
48:57Many old people
48:58And I think it's really good to preserve those buildings
49:04To have the old scenery in the cities
49:07What do you think?
49:09I agree, but I also think that they are a very important part of the culture of the city
49:14So let's look at England
49:16I think it's
49:17If I think of England, I always think automatically of red brick buildings
49:21And very charming small houses
49:23So if we wouldn't have them in a few years anymore
49:26I don't think England would have any charm left
49:30So it's all about the flair
49:32And I think you really should preserve them
49:35Thank you
49:38Now to finish the test, we are going to talk about the future in general
49:42Do you think newspapers and books have a future?
49:47Yes, I think so
49:49Some people say that the internet is going to take over everything
49:52And that you are going to read all the articles now
49:54On the iPads, on e-booklets
49:57What are they called?
49:58Kindle
49:59Kindle, exactly
50:00But I think it's still nice to have an actual newspaper in your hand
50:04A physical one that you can touch
50:06And just also the smell of the paper
50:07And I think the sound of flipping a page is so good
50:12And most people don't like it to read from a screen
50:17Because their eyes get tired
50:19But I think it's much better to read from a paper
50:24It's more quiet, more just relaxing for your eyes
50:29Given the choice, would you rather live in the past or in the future?
50:36I think I would rather live in the past
50:40Because it's a much better life, I think
50:46Less worried
50:47And there are so many issues they are complaining about
50:52And old people, everybody is just thinking about problems
50:58That are not real problems, in my view
51:02And I think in the early days
51:04They didn't have the time to worry about those problems
51:08So I think I would rather live in the past
51:10Yeah, I also think it's very tempting to live, let's say, in the Roman times
51:15Because they had like a lot of feasts and...
51:18Yeah
51:19Yeah, it's just also the food, enjoying the food
51:22Going to, not parties, but all the celebrations there
51:26I really think that it's going to be not easier to live there
51:29Because you don't have all the technology, of course
51:31But as he pointed out
51:33I think that nowadays we worry about too many small things
51:37And back then it was just war or not war
51:39And starve or not starve
51:41And diseases they had back then
51:43Okay, of course now we have to do medical advantages
51:46Yes
51:47So we don't have to worry about the past or I don't know
51:50Yeah, but we're worrying about things that are not real problems
51:52But it also would be nice to be one day in the future
51:55Where you have like everything automatically
51:57And just not to actually live there, but just to experience and see how it is
52:01But how will you enjoy yourself if everything is done by something else?
52:05Well, we don't know how the future is going to be like
52:07No
52:08Maybe you have like cyber jets and you can fly
52:11I think this would be fun
52:13Yeah
52:14Could be
52:15Could be
52:16Some people worry that wild animals
52:19Okay, so that's the description as you can see
52:23They're asked with some questions
52:26And based on the pictures that they are shown
52:29They can elaborate a conversation, you know
52:33You know
52:34So that's the idea of the Cambridge exam
52:36For that reason it's important
52:38For you to express your ideas concisely
52:42And coherently
52:44So that's the point
52:46So Viviana, do you have any questions about this video?
52:49What are
52:50What do you think?
52:51Another question teacher
52:57Just
52:58It's very interesting that you
53:02Start giving us homework like this
53:06Like we have to
53:08To
53:10Develop ideas
53:12Based on one question
53:14So
53:15Thank you teacher
53:17I believe I'm improving
53:19I believe
53:20I believe
53:21That I'm improving
53:22I believe
53:23That I'm
53:24Starting
53:25Getting my ideas much better
53:28Thank you
53:31That's all
53:32Very welcome
53:33Yes, that's the point
53:34You know
53:35So
53:36What time is it?
53:37Okay
53:38So
53:39Fernanda, what about you?
53:40Do you have any questions?
53:41Or anyone
53:42Has a question?
53:46No, I don't have any questions
53:48No
53:49Well, only
53:50The exam
53:51Is going to be like that
53:53In groups?
53:55No
53:56Yours is gonna be online
54:00No, but
54:01With one
54:02Person?
54:04Your exam is gonna be
54:05Online
54:06Individually
54:08Okay, thanks
54:09Yeah
54:10Any other questions
54:11That you may have
