Giving advice
1 Read and listen to the texts. Then match them to the information below (A-G).
A Chores aren’t fun, but they’re important. We can make them easier when we follow a plan. Start by making your bed every morning. Helping with the dishes is easy – just load or unload the dishwasher or do the washing-up as soon as you finish eating. Once a week, you can also do the vacuuming and wash the floor. And when you’re watering the plants, remember not to waste water.
B When you’re feeling unwell, it’s important to know how to take care of yourself. But don’t feel like you have to take some medicine for every problem you have. Do you have a sore throat? Drink lots of water then. When you have a cough, just get some rest and keep warm to help your body get better. Of course, when you have earache or a toothache, though, it’s always best to go to the doctor or dentist as soon as you can – you don’t want your earache or toothache to get worse!
C It’s totally normal to feel different emotions. When we feel anxious or worried, we can talk to someone we trust. Things usually aren’t as bad as they seem. And we should also remember that we don’t have to feel happy or full of energy all the time – it’s okay to feel tired and unhappy sometimes. We should always be proud of ourselves for the good things we do, and we mustn’t be afraid to ask for help when we need it!
1 Some things are nicer than they look at first.
Sometimes it’s better not to use anything. 3 This activity isn’t difficult.
2 Read the texts again and complete the sentences. Doing chores is boring.
We should do this before it’s too late.
1 We should do the vacuuming and one day a week.
2 When you’re feeling unwell, sometimes it’s enough to and keep warm.
3 When you or your teeth hurt, you should see a doctor or dentist.
4 It’s a good idea to talk to people when we feel or worried.
5 It’s important to feel of ourselves.
3 YOUR TURN Prepare a short speech in which you give your partner advice on doing something (e.g. doing a chore, curing an illness, how to relax or feel better). Use the texts in ex. 1 as a model. In your speech, say:
• what piece of advice you want to give
• why this is an important or useful piece of advice
• how your partner can do it

1 Plan your future
Ben’s vlog
What job are you going to do?
Hi everyone, welcome to Ben’s vlog! I love vlogging about everything. And today I’m going to talk about jobs. Well, about one job in particular. My future job.
I’m going to be a video game designer. I enjoy playing video games and I’m really good at drawing. I think I’m very creative, too. A video game designer develops new ideas for video games, writes the software code and uses creative skills to develop the virtual world of the game and the characters that live in it.
You don’t need to go to university to become a video game designer, but if you want to stand out, then you should study. You can study things like computer science, for example, or video game design or video game development. All cool stuff, don’t you think?
I also want to design educational games. They’re becoming a big deal because they help people learn new things and develop new skills. Playing games makes learning more engaging, improves motivation and collaboration in the classroom. You can play games to learn a foreign language, of course, but also maths, science and history. I know I’ve got a lot to learn, and it isn’t going to be easy, but I’m ready for it.
And you? What job are you going to do in the future? Write your comments below. Thanks for watching and remember to tune in next week for another episode. Bye!
