Exercise 5
Suggested answer:
Although you might not know
Rebecca’s name, she is
someone I admire and she
inspires me. Rebecca set up the
non-profit Access Books
because she wanted to improve
school libraries in poor areas.
While she was researching
literacy, she discovered school
libraries in poor areas were
terrible. The books were old and
in bad condition. Young people
didn’t have access to interesting
books so they were doing worse
at school. Access Books has
provided over 1.5 million books.
Now, because young people in
these schools are more
interested in reading, they do
better at school.Rebecca didn’t
stop there. Many of the libraries
were in poor condition so the
group decorated them together
with students, parents and staff.
Access Books also offers author
visits because they want to
interest young people in books
and writing.

Instagram was first launched on
the Apple App Store, and an
Android version was made two
years later. With Instagram,
people could take photos, apply
filters, and share them on other
social networking sites.
‘selfie’ = word of the year (2013)
– The word selfie was chosen
as Oxford Dictionary’s ‘word of
the year’, after its use had
increased by 17,000%. The first
recorded use of the word ‘selfie’
was on an Australian web forum
a decade earlier.

Critical thinking
Suggested answers:
1 Advantages: freedom,
studying what you want when
you want, the opportunity to
visit lots of different countries,
the choice to be in a city or in
the countryside, choosing
what subjects you want to
study, self-confidence and
problem-solving, learning to
travel light, trying new
experiences, practising
languages, stepping out of
your comfort zone / taking on
new challenges
2 Disadvantages: It’s difficult
to meet like-minded people,
difficult to communicate if you
don’t speak the language,
difficult to see your friends, no
daily routine, expensive to
travel
3 I think world-schooling is a
great idea but to be honest I
think there are more
disadvantages than
advantages. Personally, I
would prefer to go to a normal

The vlogger’s body language
is very open and positive. She
smiles and makes eye contact.
She gestures a lot which aids
comprehension: when she
says ‘I need my smartphone,’
she points towards herself;
when she says ‘But what
about you?’ she gestures
towards her audience; when
she says, ‘I use apps for
everything. I use them for
communication, travel, news,
photos, videos’ she counts off

Have you got social media
profiles? If you could only have
one app, what would it be? If
you could, would you like to
spend less time online?
Exercise 9
Suggested answers:
1 The on-screen text helps us
to understand the language.
For example, when the
vlogger says ‘I’ve only got one
other profile, and that’s for like
50–60 friends. I don’t post
very often and my privacy
settings are really strong,’ we
see a caption with the text, ‘1
other profile, 50–60 friends,
strong privacy settings’.
The vlogger speaks clearly
and slowly. She speaks
directly to the camera so we
can see her lips and facial
expression which aids
comprehension. Her voice is
very pleasant and she speaks
in an enthusiastic and
engaging way.

Suggested answers:
1 The text gives tips about how
to analyse a news story and
evaluate sources. This is
important so we can form our
own opinions based on
neutral sources.
2 Nowadays news is updated
online/on social media
regularly during the day.
There is less time to check
facts, stories go viral more
quickly. Fake news can be
used for political reasons.
Online companies get money
from advertisers and so want
more people to visit their sites.
3 Fake news could have a
range of consequences, for
example, it could affect
government elections or
major political decisions. It
can promote products or
celebrities in a positive or
negative way.
