Collaborative learning promotes teamwork in class. Learners work together in small or large teams.
However, it is not always easy for individuals to work effectively with others. Some learners prefer to work
on their own first, then share ideas and information. Others are reluctant to share, because they want to
impress the teacher with their performance. Negative competition in class tends to prevent students from
working together, as they feel that they need to
keep what they know to themselves, in order to
gain credit against everyone else in class.
2 Pair Work
A. Before you discuss each issue, brainstorm and think of:
• phrases you can use to express your opinion/view
• ways to agree and disagree
• arguments to support your view
B. Which topic would you like to know more about? Why? Which topic do you find least

Adnan: Yes, so did I. But apparently, he has been transferred to his home town. So someone else is going
to be teaching chemistry.
Yahya: I am sorry to hear that.
Adnan: I saw someone new walking into the chemistry lab. He must be our new teacher…
Yahya: Let’s have a look. No, it can’t be. I don’t believe it. He must be looking for me.
Adnan: What are you talking about? That must be our new teacher.
Yahya: No, it can’t be.
Adnan: Oh, come on. Why not?
Yahya: Because that’s my uncle! He must have known about this but never told me.
Adnan: He must have wanted to surprise you! It’s good news, isn’t it?

Other, Others, and Another
Other / Others
Other can be used as an adjective before a plural noun to mean “additional” or “further.”
Many scientists feel that global warming can be reversed. Other scientists disagree.
Others can be used as a pronoun to mean additional or other persons or things.
Many scientists feel that global warming can be reversed. Others disagree.
Another
Another can be used as an adjective or a pronoun.
As an adjective, it means an alternative to something previously considered.
I know you want to go to Mexico on vacation, but I have another idea.
As a pronoun, it means an additional one of the same kind.
That was a good cup of coffee. I think I’ll have another.
Whether used as an adjective or a pronoun, another is only used with singular nouns.
Incorrect: I think I’ll have another beef burgers.
Note: Don’t confuse other, others, and another with the pronouns each other and one another. Note that
each other and one another, which are inseparable phrases, are used to express a mutual relationship.
My friends have deep trust in each other. I know that none of them could let down the others.
Emphatic Do
Do is usually used as an auxiliary in negative and question forms of the simple present and past tense.
However, the auxiliary do can also be used before the infinitive in affirmative sentences to add special emphasis.
I do enjoy his company.
He does like to talk.
We can also use emphatic do to show a contrast between expectations and reality.
A: You didn’t call me yesterday. B: I did call you yesterday.
We usually get along very well, but we do have arguments occasionally.
Note: Emphatic do is strongly emphasized in speech.
D. Match the sentence beginnings and endings. Rewrite the sentences, adding do, does,

Before Reading
Before Reading
Do you think animals ever form partnerships to help one another? Explain.
For animals in the wild, each day is a struggle to survive. They must
continually search for food, while at the same time keeping themselves
safe from predators. Some animals have learned that teaming up with
another animal makes the struggle to find food, shelter, and safety a bit
easier. This kind of special relationship in which animals depend upon
and benefit from one another is called symbiosis.
One of the most visually surprising examples of symbiosis occurs
between the fearsome African crocodile and the small plover bird. When
a plover is nearby, a crocodile will open its long, sharp-toothed jaws to
invite it inside. You might assume that the plover would quickly reject this
invitation and fly off. Yet surprisingly, the plover does hop inside. Perhaps
even more amazingly, the crocodile, normally known for its aggression,
does not snap its mouth shut and have the plover for a snack. Instead, it remains still, not closing its mouth until
the plover leaves. How can this strange behavior be explained? The answer is symbiosis. The plover picks out all
the small pieces of meat stuck between the crocodile’s teeth. In doing so, it cleans the crocodile’s teeth, which
prevents it from getting infections. Because the crocodile can not clean its own teeth, it depends on the plover to
perform this service. In return, the crocodile provides an easy meal for the plover.
In some cases of symbiosis, like the crocodile and the plover, each animal in the pair benefits from their
relationship in a different way. However, in other cases, the animals share a common goal. This is true of the
honeyguide bird and the ratel, a furry creature with short legs and long claws. Both these animals live on
grasslands in Africa and have an appetite for honey. As its name suggests, the honeyguide has a special ability
for locating beehives. However, this small bird cannot open a beehive to get at the honey. To accomplish this, it
teams up with the ratel. Ratels are a perfect match for the honeyguide as they love honey, are large enough to
crack open a hive, but have no ability to find hives themselves. The
honeyguide flies over grasslands looking for a hive. When it does
spot a hive, it swoops down and makes a noise to alert the ratel. The
ratel uses its claws to tear open the hive. After eating its fill, the ratel
invites the honeyguide to finish the leftovers.
Another two animals that team up to compensate for their own
weaknesses are the zebra and the ostrich. These two animals often
travel together. This is no surprise since they are a perfect match.
While the giant, flightless ostrich has poor senses of both smell and
hearing, the zebra has acute senses of smell and hearing. On the
other hand, the zebra has terrible eyesight, while the ostrich has
excellent eyesight, enhanced by its long neck which enables the
ostrich to see far into the distance. In this way, each makes up for the other’s deficiencies. As a result, the animals
are far safer together than they would be apart. Ostriches can see predators, such as lions, far in the distance,
while zebras can smell or hear others as they approach.
Birds and land animals aren’t the only ones that work in symbiotic pairs. Some sea animals, like the clownfish
and the sea anemone, do as well. Sea anemones, which look like plants, are actually dangerous animals with

Writing Corner
When you write a descriptive essay about people’s qualities/characteristics:
• think about their positive and negative qualities, their needs and the things they offer, their
attitude to life, typical incidents, etc.
• express your personal feelings/views about the people.
• do not simply write a list of adjectives.
• vary the way you express thoughts, memories, and feelings; use expressions like these:
I think he/she is…, I have always felt that…, I regard him/her as…, He/She seems to…, He/She
tends to…, Anytime I think of…, I have never…, He/She is the most (adjective) person I have ever
known/met, etc.
• use linking devices that indicate similarity and contrast, cause and effect, consequence, reason,
etc.; use a variety of expressions and words like these: due to this…, although…, in spite of…,
while…, compared to…, because of…, as a result, both, etc.
• plan your essay carefully by deciding what/who you are going to focus on in different sections/
paragraphs.
• write a first draft, then read it and make corrections or write questions about things you are not
sure about.
• hand over the draft to someone else to read and edit; encourage him/her to write comments
and questions.
• read the comments and edit your essay.

Al-Rajhi
Sheikh Sulaiman bin Abdul-Aziz Al-Rajhi, the world-renowned philanthropist and winner of the 2012 King
Faisal International Prize for Service to Islam, has not always been a billionaire.
Born in 1929, he spent his youth in Al-Qassim where he and his brother Saleh began their business, changing
money for pilgrims, on their way to the cities of Makkah and Madinah.
Their business expanded in the 1970s during the oil boom in Saudi Arabia. The Al-Rajhi brothers helped
migrant workers from Indonesia, Pakistan and other places to send their earnings home. They were granted
permission to establish a bank, the Al Rajhi Bank, which complied with religious tenets such as a ban on
interest.
Founding the bank, which is now the world’s biggest Islamic lender, was not hurdle-free. Sulaiman Al-Rajhi
began by opening an office in Britain, to introduce the Islamic banking system on a more international basis.
However, his initial attempts to secure a banking license were unsuccessful, as British officials were not
aware of the principles and requirements of Islamic banking. He had to travel to different countries in order
to explain to bankers that interest was forbidden by Islam and regarded as unacceptable by pious people all
over the world. He pointed out that interest caused a lot of people to avoid transactions with banks, and to
keep their cash and valuables at home. Eventually, the banking system he proposed was launched in Saudi
Arabia and subsequently implemented in the United Kingdom.
Sheikh Sulaiman bin Abdul-Aziz Al-Rajhi is also chairman of the National Agricultural Development Company
and founder of the Al-Watania agricultural projects, which include the largest poultry farm in the Middle East
and one of the most successful companies in Saudi Arabia. Al Rajhi had visited a poultry farm abroad and had
been shocked by the improper way chickens were fed and slaughtered. This prompted him to launch the
poultry farm project, making sure that chickens were naturally fed and halal slaughtered according to Islamic
tenets. He has also introduced and supported organic farming throughout the Middle East, intent on securing
healthy food for all as a means of fostering good health, preventing illness and consequently reducing the
cost of medical treatment. The Al-Rajhi projects diversified into other areas, as well, such as real estate and
other investment projects.
In 2009, Sulaiman Al-Rajhi established the Sulaiman Al-Rajhi University, a non-profit research university with
three departments; Medicine, Nursing and Applied Science. In fact, the university was established by the
Suleiman Al-Rajhi Charitable Foundation (SAAR), which is considered the largest foundation of its kind in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, in terms of capital as well as range and volume of activities. SAAR now owns and

Things that once seemed impossible often
become commonplace with the passing of time.
There are people predicting that this will happen
with space tourism in the next decade or two.
Some are even investing in and developing
space tourism technology, believing that space
tourism will be the next big thing. They imagine a
future in which space travel will have become a
reality for millions of ordinary people.
At the moment, space tourism is only a possibility
for the incredibly wealthy. In 2001, American
multi-millionaire Dennis Tito paid $20 million
to become the first space tourist. After eight
months of rigorous training, Tito traveled aboard
a Russian capsule that was launched by an
American company called ‘Space Adventures.’
He then spent seven days aboard the International Space Station. Since then, a number of other millionaire space tourists of
different nationalities have gone into space.
Although up to now only very wealthy people have had the opportunity to be space tourists, many see this as the beginning
of what will eventually become a lucrative new industry. There are several companies that have already invested millions of
dollars in developing new, reusable launch vehicles. Their goal is to lower launch costs enough to make it possible for the
average person to buy a ticket to space. The Japanese Rocket Society, for example, has set a target price of one million yen
(about $10,000).
Virgin Galactic, a British company owned by Richard Branson's Virgin Group, has been working on plans for sending people
into space for years. The company is about to begin testing of their eight-seat spacecraft, and expects that they will have
worked out any problems by 2022. When the spacecraft is shown to be safe, Virgin Galactic will begin their flights. Although
tickets are a steep £100,000 ($123,000), amazingly, the first year of flights has already been booked. One of these future
passengers is Lisa Ramirez, a mother of three. When asked why she was prepared to spend so much money on a Galactic
flight, Ramirez explained, “I’m 58 years old, and by the time this happens, I will have been dreaming of going to space for at
least 45 years!”
There are even companies working on plans to build hotels for space tourists. The Shimizu Corporation, a giant Japanese
construction company, has detailed plans for a hotel they expect to complete by 2023. They believe that by then they will
have created a 63-room hotel which will orbit 279 miles (450 kilometers) above the surface of Earth. The hotel will slowly
spin in order to produce enough force to simulate Earth's gravity. It is estimated that such a space hotel would cost 6 to 12
billion dollars, and would take about six years to build.
Since water was discovered on the moon in 1998, the multi-national hotel chain, Hilton Hotels,
has been working on plans for a hotel on the moon. The plans call for a 5,000-room complex
with a beach, a working farm, a medical center, and even a school. Two huge solar panels will
generate the power. Hilton is working on this project with experts at NASA.

there? While people used to assume we were alone in the universe, we now know that the galaxy contains
over 100 billion stars. This fact has led many scientists to think it unlikely that we are the only intelligent life
form in the universe. Some of these scientists have devoted themselves to searching for other civilizations.
This search is commonly referred to as the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence, or SETI.
Since the SETI program began in 1959, scientists have been scanning the sky for signals sent by another,
alien civilization. To do this, they use the world’s largest radio telescope which is located in Arecibo, Puerto
Rico. The Arecibo telescope is 1,000 feet (305 meters) in diameter. This telescope is so large, it is said that
it could hold 10 billion bowls of cornflakes! The telescope collects and sends data to SETI computers
24 hours a day.
Many people don’t realize that in addition to searching for radio waves, we humans are sending them out
into space as well. This is because all of the radio and television signals that come into our homes also travel
into space. We have been constantly and unintentionally leaking radio waves
into space for over sixty years now. One day these signals may be
detected by an alien civilization. In fact, it is possible that aliens
are already listening to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, CSI,
and The Simpsons!
Although SETI has found some unexplained signals,
there have not been any clear, confirmed extraterrestrial
signals yet. However, SETI scientists are not at all
discouraged. They know that the universe is vast,
and searching the entire sky for a distant signal is like
searching for a needle in a haystack.
Not only are SETI scientists not discouraged, they are
actually more optimistic than ever before. They do feel that in
another 50 or 100 years, they will have succeeded in detecting
Arecibo Radio Telescope alien signals. What is the reason for this confidence? Previous
searches were limited by the shortcomings of available technology.
For example, while there are hundreds of billions of stars in our galaxy,
fewer than a thousand have been monitored for alien signals. But technology is improving all the time. As
technology improves, scientists are going to have a better chance of picking up alien signals. In the next few
decades, hundreds of thousands of stars, maybe even millions, will have been monitored.

surface of the planet, the sun would appear at least three times (6. larger / smaller)
than it does on Earth.
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are all rocky planets, but Earth is the only one
that is (7. inhabitable / uninhabitable), which means that people, animals and plants
live on it. Venus is only (8. slightly / almost) smaller than Earth and has many high
mountains and volcanoes. Venus is so (9. close / far) to the sun that the land is (10. hotter
/ colder) than boiling water. Mars is a (11. rocky / icy) planet and is known as the Red Planet because of the
red color of the planet’s surface. Mars is (12. almost / considerably) half the size of Earth.
The four planets (13. farthest / closest) away from the sun are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
They are very (14. hot / cold) and (15. green / icy) places. Jupiter has the (16. least / most) number of known
moons. Jupiter’s four (17. largest / smallest) moons were observed in 1610 by an Italian astronomer called
Galileo Galilei. Saturn has the (18. least / most) spectacular ring system of all the planets. There are 7 rings
made up of dust, rocks and ice. (19. Most / More) than 40 spacecraft have explored Saturn, but only one has
visited Uranus and Neptune. Neptune is the (20. farthest / closest) from the sun and makes a complete
orbit around the sun in about 165 Earth years.

Adverb Clauses
An adverb clause is a dependent clause. It begins with an adverb and is always linked to an independent clause.
Because the shoes were on sale, I bought two pairs.
(adverb clause) (independent clause)
Don’t buy that dress unless you really need it.
(independent clause) (adverb clause)
Note: When an adverb clause begins the sentence, use a comma to separate it from the independent clause. When
the adverb clause is at the end, do not use a comma.
Because, because of, since, and now that begin adverb clauses that give information about reasons.
They closed the store early since there were no customers.
Because of must be followed by a noun (or noun phrase).
They went to the mall because of the sale.
(In order) to and so (that) begin adverb clauses that give information about purpose.
(In order) to must be followed with the base form of the verb.
Advertisements use many techniques in order to convince people to buy products.
Clauses with so (that) usually include a modal.
I left my wallet at home so that I wouldn’t be tempted to buy anything.
If, even if, in case, only if, and unless begin adverb clauses that give information about conditions.
I’ll write down my phone number in case you need it.
Use if to show that the condition affects the result. Use even if to show that it does not. Use the present tense with
an ifif-clause, even if it refers to a future time.

Make a list of all the places you see ads in your everyday life. How
many ads do you think you are exposed to in an average day?
ADS EVERYWHERE:
Do You
Do “Buy”
You “Buy”
It? It?
For most people, it is virtually impossible to go
through the day without seeing advertisements. From
the time we wake up and flip on the TV or check our
email, we are surrounded by advertisements. They are
in magazines, on buses, on billboards, online, and on
buildings, to name just a few of the places we see them throughout the day. According to a recent
study, the average person is exposed to between 400 and 600 advertisements each day. This means
that by the time we are 60, we will have been exposed to 40 to 50 million advertisements!
In the past, advertisements were usually designed to reach people in their homes through traditional
approaches, like TV commercials and newspaper and magazine ads. However, people’s viewing
habits have changed dramatically in the last couple of decades. These days, people are less likely to
give one form of media their full attention. For example, even if someone is watching TV, they are
also often using the Internet at the same time. Advertisers need the consumer’s attention in order to
promote their products. But because getting this attention is harder than it used to be, advertisers
have been forced to find new ways of reaching the consumer.
One unconventional place advertisements are popping up is in doctors’ offices. In some doctors’
offices, pharmaceutical companies advertise products on everything from boxes of tissues to the
paper covering the exam table. Doctors get free products, and the advertisers get the consumers’,
attention. Similarly, advertisements are becoming more common in schools. “Free” products such as
book covers and educational posters are offered by companies so that the company can advertise
on these materials. In the U.S., a company called Channel One broadcasts a ten-minute news
program followed by two minutes of commercials each day in 350,000 schools. Because the schools
show these news programs, the companies give them thousands of dollars worth of much needed

Advertisers have found that one of the best ways to get consumer attention is to place ads in unusual
places. So, ads are popping up in all kinds of unexpected places like pizza boxes, grocery carts, air
sickness bags on airplanes, and even on pieces of food like bananas and apples. A television
network recently imprinted its logo on 35 million eggs. They called the approach “egg-vertisements.”
One of the strangest developments in advertising has been people selling advertising space on
themselves! This mini-trend began in 2005 when a man offered his face for advertising to the
highest bidder on eBay. A pharmaceutical company won the spot, paying the man $37,375 to place a
temporary sticker on his forehead to advertise one of their products. He may have been the first to
offer such an unusual exchange, but he was not the last.

3. Men are more truthful than women. True False
4. Men are more easily bored than women. True False
5. Women have a greater tolerance for pain. True False
6. Women live longer than men. True False
1. The common stereotype that women talk more than men is wrong. In fact, recent research shows
that there is very little gender difference in how much people speak. Some research suggests that
men tend to speak more than women in formal settings, and that women speak more in informal
situations. One study revealed that women speak an average of about 16,000 words a day, and men
do too.
2. Studies show that women worry more frequently than men. This may be due to the fact that women’s
brains produce less of a brain chemical called COMT, which controls anxiety. Having less of this
chemical can make it harder for a person to stop worrying.
3. Women lie frequently, and men do too. However, research shows that women and men tend to lie
about different things. Women are more likely to lie in order to try to not hurt a person’s feelings. They
are also more likely to lie to try to avoid a conflict. However, you are more likely to be told a lie by a
man for a different reason. Men more often lie in order to make themselves seem more impressive.
4. Studies show that men have more restless temperaments than women. For example, women seem
to have a capacity to adjust to repetitive tasks, but men don’t. They dislike being asked to do such
tasks and are less likely to successfully complete them. It is speculated that women do better in these
situations because they have a greater ability to keep their thoughts and imagination active, even
during tedious activities.
