1 Read the text about British culture and answer the questions.
The British culture is very diverse.The UK is a multicultural society in which people from different ethnic, religious
and cultural backgrounds live together. In parks all over the United Kingdom you can see people, young and old,
wearing different clothes, listening to different music and enjoying themselves in different ways: from playing cricket
to skateboarding. If you ask many people who live outside the UK what they associate with Britain, they normally
mention the same things: music (The Beatles), pubs (a pint of beer), food (sh and chips), London taxis, the Double
Deckers and telephone booths, the Royal Family and, of course, the BBC, with its multicultural programmes.

3 Anamara Merino Tijoux was born in France in 1977. Her parents were Chilean exiles living in the city of
Lille. She returned to Chile in 1993 and dove head-rst into the hip hop music scene in the capital. In 1997,
she became well-known through her collaborations on Los Tetas rst album. Since then, she has released 4
solo albums and has played concerts all over the world. Her artistic point of view is unique; she speaks two
languages and grew up in a culture far-removed from her own. Her parents experience as exiles informs
her socially conscious lyrics as well as her challenge to nd where she belongs to. The search for identity is
a common theme in hip hop, which is traditionally the music of the voiceless, and Tijoux has indeed found
her place, being named the best New Female Emcee Rocking Mics Everywhere by MTV in 2012. A young
mother with an international, social perspective,Tijoux is the perfect example of the 21st century youth that

2 Billboards, as you know, are large posters used to advertise products. They can be seen near main roads and
motorways, and covering buildings or construction sites. This type of advertisement differs from others in
terms of slogans and images. Slogans have to be short and humorous, so that people can read them quickly.
The pictures have to be distinctive, so that people notice and remember them.

1 Read the text and answer the questions.
Social media refers to blogs, forums, networks, wikis, and many other online sites and services. The main
idea behind social media is that people around the world can easily and instantly share information and
ideas through social interaction.
However, some people dislike social media. These opponents believe that blogs, emails and text
messages, etc. create an information overload. In other words, there is too much information to read
and understand. There is a constant ght for peoples attention.
In todays world, social media has become an important part of society, mostly because of cheap
Internet, cell phones that let users surf the Internet and send emails, and a wide range of other services
to share information. Even if we take into account the negative aspects, its not likely to disappear.

Todays teens spend more than 7 and 1/2 hours a day consuming media.
These include watching TV, listening to music, surfing
surng the Web, social networking,
and playing video games. Teens today are known as the digital natives and are
part of the first identified
rst generation to be so closely identi ed with technology.
When it comes to talking about video games, almost everyone would like to voice their opinion. The palette of
choices nowadays is almost infinite
innite and thats why design plays a very important role when choosing the right
one. Design is what makes the difference between software you have to use and software you want to use.
Emilio is a user interface designer. His job is to figure
gure out how software and users interact with each other. When
you submit a form, what happens? How are users notified notied of errors? Does the form go to a new page, or submit
while staying on the current page? Pretty cool, huh?
Emilio lives in Santiago and works at a Canadian company called Behaviour, which is the largest independent
game development studio in Canada, specialising in the production of 2D and 3D action/adventure games for
Xbox3, Wii, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS.

Snake Milker
Youve heard the phrase: What doesnt kill you makes you stronger. In this case, what
doesnt kill you may prove to be a life-saving substance. Snake venom is a bodily
poison and at the same time, the primary ingredient in serums that cure snakebites.
In areas where poisonous snakes are common, animal care specialists employed to
extract venom by milking the reptiles fangs are crucial.

Reading
1 Read the text about British culture and answer the questions.
The British culture is very diverse.The UK is a multicultural society in which people from different ethnic, religious
and cultural backgrounds live together. In parks all over the United Kingdom you can see people, young and old,
wearing different clothes, listening to different music and enjoying themselves in different ways: from playing cricket
to skateboarding. If you ask many people who live outside the UK what they associate with Britain, they normally
mention the same things: music (The Beatles), pubs (a pint of beer), food (sh and chips), London taxis, the Double
Deckers and telephone booths, the Royal Family and, of course, the BBC, with its multicultural programmes.

3 Anamara Merino Tijoux was born in France in 1977. Her parents were Chilean exiles living in the city of
Lille. She returned to Chile in 1993 and dove head-rst into the hip hop music scene in the capital. In 1997,
she became well-known through her collaborations on Los Tetas rst album. Since then, she has released 4
solo albums and has played concerts all over the world. Her artistic point of view is unique; she speaks two
languages and grew up in a culture far-removed from her own. Her parents experience as exiles informs
her socially conscious lyrics as well as her challenge to nd where she belongs to. The search for identity is
a common theme in hip hop, which is traditionally the music of the voiceless, and Tijoux has indeed found
her place, being named the best New Female Emcee Rocking Mics Everywhere by MTV in 2012. A young
mother with an international, social perspective,Tijoux is the perfect example of the 21st century youth that
is pushing the world in new and creative directions.

2 Billboards, as you know, are large posters used to advertise products. They can be seen near main roads and
motorways, and covering buildings or construction sites. This type of advertisement differs from others in
terms of slogans and images. Slogans have to be short and humorous, so that people can read them quickly.
The pictures have to be distinctive, so that people notice and remember them.

Social media refers to blogs, forums, networks, wikis, and many other online sites and services. The main
idea behind social media is that people around the world can easily and instantly share information and
ideas through social interaction.
However, some people dislike social media. These opponents believe that blogs, emails and text
messages, etc. create an information overload. In other words, there is too much information to read
and understand. There is a constant ght for peoples attention.
In todays world, social media has become an important part of society, mostly because of cheap
Internet, cell phones that let users surf the Internet and send emails, and a wide range of other services
to share information. Even if we take into account the negative aspects, its not likely to disappear.

choices nowadays is almost infinite

Youve heard the phrase: What doesnt kill you makes you stronger. In this case, what
doesnt kill you may prove to be a life-saving substance. Snake venom is a bodily
poison and at the same time, the primary ingredient in serums that cure snakebites.
In areas where poisonous snakes are common, animal care specialists employed to
extract venom by milking the reptiles fangs are crucial.
