Your constructive comments have been extremely useful while I was writing and have definitely made this a better book. Of course, I need to thank Lindsay without whom none of this would have been possible. Onwards and upwards! The first edition of the workbook also benefited from discussions I had with some of my students. In particular: Pelagia Thoma, Ilaria Casalanguida, Aleksandra Milkovska, Sopio Gugunava, Daniela Champin, Safina Alfian Yusof, Magdalena Surmiak, Elena Urdiales, Michal Hrnciarik, Rasa Yuriychuk, Petar Hristov, Aline Dias and Gabriela Stemate. I learnt a lot from you all and many of the exercises were products of conversations we had about what students wanted from a workbook. Finally, I'd like to thank my wife Agi, my daughter Aliz and my dog Molly for their patience, the endless supply of coffee, trying out many of the exercises and for putting up with my sense of humour. The publishers would like to thank all the teachers from around the world who provided invaluable comments, suggestions and feedback on the first edition. The publishers would also like to thank the following people for their help and contribution to the second edition: Tatiana Baytimerova (Russia), Lenka Boehmova (Czech Republic), Dr. Manuel Padilla Cruz (Spain), Svetlana Elchaninova (Russia), Jennifer Diaz Green (Dublin), Elena Mokeeva (Romania), Lynn Thomson (freelance editor), Amany Shawkey (Macmillan Egypt), Maria Teresa Rius Villaplana (Spain), Natalia Vorobyeva (Russia).

The story begins in New York in the year 3100. It’s about two people who are from the 21st century and who are in the same city 1,000 years in the future. The acting was really good and the story was very interesting. A really great film. ★ ★ ★ ★ Mr right? Sandra (Jo-Anne Massey) moves to a new city. She is very unhappy because she has no friends. She meets Josh (Alex Smith) and they go for walks, they go out for dinner and she is very happy. Then she discovers that Josh is married! Jo-Anne Massey and Alex Smith act badly in the film. One to miss. ★ The hands ‘The best film this year.’ So I went to see it! I liked watching the two actors - Nell Ash and Peter Brock - because I think they were both excellent. But the story was awful. After only ten minutes, I guessed the end of the film! OK for a rainy day. ★ ★ 7a Miracle diets?

It was late in the evening. He was looking for somewhere to stay the night. He knocked at a door and a woman opened it. ‘G ood evening, madam ,’ the m an said. ‘I’m sorry it’s so late. But can you help me, please? Is there a h otel in this village? I w ant to stay here tonight.’ T he woman laughed. ‘A hotel? Here in W oodend? N o, sir, I’m afraid there isn’t.’ ‘W h at a pity,’ said the man. ‘I’m a stranger here. A n d I w ant to see your village tomorrow.’ T he stranger was very polite. He was tall and had dark hair. A nd he had strange green eyes. ‘Perhaps Mrs H arrison can help you,’ the woman said. ‘She has a room. Perhaps you can stay w ith her. W ait a m inute. I’ll get my coat, and I’ll take you there.’ T he woman took the stranger to Mrs H arrison’s house. Mrs H arrison gave him a room for the night. He was very glad. It was th e last night of O ctober and it was cold. T he n ext day was Sunday. T he m an looked round the village. He was very interested in the history of the village. He m et some of the villagers and asked them their names. But he did n o t visit the church. T h a t was unusual. T h e church in W oodend was the most beautiful building in the village. But the stranger was n o t interested in it. He did n o t go to church th a t night w ith all the villagers. It was the first Sunday evening of November. W h en the villagers came out of the church, the m an had gone. T hey had all liked him. T he ladies had thought he was very goodlooking. A few weeks later, he came back. It was the first Sunday in December. T he villagers were coming out of church. It was cold and dark. ‘Hello he said.’ ‘I’m back again. It’s nice to see you all once m ore.’ His n ext words surprised everyone. ‘Perhaps you can help m e,’ he said. ‘I’m looking for a house. I w ant to buy a house here.’ ‘Here?’ someone said. ‘But why here? T h ere’s no work in W oodend for a young man. A ll th e young people leave the village. T hey find work in Lidney, the nearest tow n.’ ‘I’ll get a job somewhere,’ th e stranger said. ‘Perhaps in Lidney.’ T h en one of the villagers told him about old Mr S m ith’s house. M r Sm ith had died in the summer. His house was empty. It was for sale. T he house was on the corner of M ain Street and C hurch Lane. ‘I’ll ask about the house tomorrow,’ said the young man. ‘Perhaps I’ll be lucky. Goodbye. I’ll see you soon.’ T he villagers w atched him leave. They all saw his car. It was very big and luxurious. H e looked rich. A few days later, Mr S m ith’s house was sold. A nd in the middle of Greta Gordon M ike Bailey Arthur Risem an December, th e young stranger arrived. H e moved into the house and worked very hard. He fixed the roof. H e repaired broken windows. H e painted and decorated. H e changed the whole house. But there was a big surprise for the villagers. O n the morning of Monday, 21st December, they saw a big sign on the front of the house. A n d on the sign were these words: T H E C O R N ER SH O P Proprietor: Dave Slatin A few weeks later, he came back. The villagers were coming out o f church. 2 The Village Meeting T he villagers could n o t believe it. A shop in Woodend! Everybody talked about it. T here was once a shop in W oodend, but it had closed tw enty years ago. Some people w anted the shop, but others did not. T he villagers m et in the evening in the village hall. Everybody was there. Everybody was interested in the new shop. ‘The Corner Shop is a good idea,' someone said. ‘We need a village shop. We w on’t need to go to Lidney.’ T h en Mrs H arrison spoke. She liked th e stranger, Dave Slatin. ‘I agree,’ she said. ‘A village shop is a good idea. It’s too quiet here. W oodend needs a shop.’ ‘N onsense,’ said Miss Brown. She was the village schoolteacher. ‘Lidney is n o t far away. T here are lots of shops there.’ Soon everybody was shouting. T h e n M r H art spoke. He was a very big man, w ith a loud voice. ‘Listen, everybody!’ he shouted. ‘W e’ve never had trouble in this village before. W e’ve always been quiet and happy. Now this shop is causing trouble.’ ‘Let M r Slatin speak,’ someone said. ‘It’s his shop. Let him speak.’ ‘Ladies and gentlem en,’ said Dave Slatin. ‘I don’t w ant to cause any trouble. I’m still a stranger in your village. But I w ant to be one of you. I w ant to be your friend. I like the people of W oodend!’ H e smiled and a few7people clapped. T hey liked him. ‘The Corner Shop will sell lots of things,’ he w ent on. ‘It will sell food and things for th e house. Everything will be cheap, I promise!’ Everybody was listening carefully. ‘A nd I have another idea,’ he continued. ‘I’ll sell village products.’ ‘W hat do you m ean by “Village products”?’ asked Miss Brown. ‘I’ll tell you, Miss Brown,’ he said. ‘I know th a t you make beautiful bread and cakes.’ Miss Brown smiled. Yes, she did make bread and cakes. Everyone knew that. ‘A nd you, M r H art, I’ve seen your flowers. You grow beautiful flowers.’ Now M r H art smiled. Yes, his flowers were beautiful. Everyone knew about them . ‘A nd M r Everett makes pots,’ someone said. ‘A nd Mrs Davies makes dolls,’ said another voice. ‘A nd I do paintings of the village,’ said old Miss Lucy Gray. ‘Yes,’ said Dave. ‘You can all do something. You villagers are clever. You make lots of things. W e can sell them to the tourists. In the summer, W oodend can make a lot of m oney!’ ‘But w hat about th e money?’ said Mr H art. ‘How will you pay us?’ ‘T h a t’s a good question,’ said Dave. ‘A nd here’s the answer. You’ll bring your things to me and I’ll sell them for you. I’ll keep some of the profit. You’ll have the rest.’ ‘W h at a good idea!’ said Miss Brown. ‘Yes, I agree!’ said M r H art. A ll the villagers agreed. Everyone in th e village was happy w ith Dave S latin’s plan. The Corner Shop opened on Monday, 4 th January, 1965. Soon the shop was busy and Dave needed an assistant. T he new assistant in The Corner Shop was A nna. She started work in late January. The villagers met in the evening in the village hall. Everybody was there. 3 The Corner Shop D ave Slatin kept his promises. Things at the shop were good and cheap. ‘How does he do it?’ asked Mrs Harrison. ‘It’s winter, but h e ’s selling lots of fruit and vegetables. A n d they’re cheap. I never go to Lidney now.’ T he other villagers agreed. The Corner Shop was a success and Dave seemed happy. He paid A n n a good wages. Sometimes her friend, Peter, helped at the shop and Dave gave him money too. Dave advertised in newspapers and th e village products sold well. People from Lidney came to The Corner Shop. T here were lots of visitors and W oodend became more interesting. T h e villagers were surprised, but pleased. T hey were m aking a lot of money. Dave lived alone, in a flat above th e shop. H e was very popular in the village, but no one ever w ent to his flat. N o one ever saw inside it. A t the bottom of the stairs there were two doors. O n e led into the stockroom. T h e other door had a notice o n it: SPECIAL ORDERS ONLY: KEEP O U T T h e door was always locked. A n n a never w ent into the Special Orders room. ‘W hy do you lock th a t room, Dave?’ A n n a asked one day. ‘W h at’s in there?’ ‘It’s for special orders,’ h e replied. ‘Big orders.’ ‘But you w on’t get any big orders in W oodend,’ said A nna. Dave said nothing. H e did n o t w ant to talk about th a t room. The new assistant in The Corner Shop was Anna. Sometimes her friend, Peter, helped at the shop. 91 F or three m onths, everything was normal. T hen, one day in April, an unusual customer came into the shop. T he new customer was a very beautiful woman. She was wearing expensive clothes and arrived in a large car. ‘Is this The Corner ShopV the woman asked. She looked round and seemed a little surprised. ‘Yes,’ replied A nna. ‘T his is The Corner Shop. It’s the only shop in the village.’ ‘I’m looking for Mr Slatin, th e owner of the shop,’ said the woman. ‘I th in k h e ’s upstairs,’ said A nna. ‘I’ll go and get him. Does he know your name?’ ‘Yes, I th in k so,’ was the reply. ‘Tell him . . .’ T he woman stopped. ‘Tell him Miss G ordon is here. Miss G reta G ordon.’ A nna was amazed. ‘A re you G reta G ordon, the film star?’ ‘Yes, th a t’s right.’ T he woman smiled, but she was nervous. ‘W ait a m inute,’ said A nna. ‘I’ll tell M r Slatin th a t you’re here.’ A n n a ran to th e bottom of the stairs and called ‘Dave! Dave! T here’s someone to see you!’ ‘W ho is it?’ asked Dave from upstairs. ‘Miss G reta G ordon!’ shouted A nna. ‘It’s G reta Gordon! T h e film star!’ ‘I’m coming!’ he said, and he came down immediately. ‘I’m pleased to m eet you, Miss G ordon,’ h e said. ‘G ood m orning,’ said G reta Gordon. She and Dave shook hands. She had beautiful hands and she was wearing beautiful diamond rings! A n n a had never seen so many diamonds before. Miss G ordon looked round. ‘Is this where you work, M r Slatin?’ she asked. O nce again, she seemed nervous. ‘Yes,’ said Dave. ‘It’s a small place, but it’s big enough for me. Please follow me, Miss G ordon.’ A nna was surprised. Dave and G reta G ordon did n o t know each other. H e did n o t call her ‘G reta’, and she did n o t call him ‘Dave’. H e seemed to be in a hurry, and she seemed to be frightened. A nna w atched them . Dave and G reta G ordon w ent to the back of the shop and into the Special Orders room. G reta G ordon was a Special O rder customer! A n n a thought th at was very strange. She w anted to tell someone about G reta Gordon. A nna loved films. She w anted to tell Peter about th e film star. But she had to stay in the shop. Ten minutes later, G reta G ordon came out of the Special Orders room. Dave w ent straight upstairs and G reta G ordon came to the front of the shop. T he film star looked terrible! She was pale. She was crying. H er eyes were red w ith tears. ‘W h a t’s wrong?’ asked A nna. ‘C an I help you, Miss Gordon?’ ‘N o, thanks. I’m all right,’ said G reta Gordon. ‘Do you w ant to sit down?’ said A nna. She got a chair and the film star sat down. ‘Shall I get the doctor?’ said A nna. ‘No! N o!’ said G reta. ‘Please tell no one about my visit here. Please tell no one.’ A n n a was disappointed. She w anted to tell everyone about G reta G ordon. She w anted to tell everyone about her famous customer. 92 ‘I w ant to give you som ething,’ said G reta Gordon. ‘H ere’s a photograph of me. I’ll sign it.’ She signed the photograph and gave it to A nna. ‘Please keep this,’ said G reta. A n d please keep our secret. Please d on’t tell anyone.’ ‘A ll right,’ said A nna. ‘I promise.’ T h e film star kissed A nna. She held A n n a’s hands. W h a t a beautiful woman, thought A nna. A n d w hat beautiful hands! T h en A n n a noticed something. T he diam ond rings were gone. Then, one day in April, an unusual customer came into the shop. 5 A Page in ‘Film News’ D ave never talked about G reta G ordon. H e never talked about her visit to The Corner Shop. O ne day, A n n a asked him about the film star. ‘How do you know G reta G ordon?’ said A nna. ‘Is she a friend of yours?’ ‘I don’t w ant to talk about her,’ Dave replied. ‘She was a Special O rder customer. D on’t ask any more questions about her, A n n a.’ So A n n a did n o t ask any more questions. She did n o t ask about G reta G ordon’s Special O rder and she did n o t ask about the rings. A n n a kept her promise. She never told anyone about the film star. Soon it was spring. A n n a and Dave were busy. Mr H art brought lots of flowers to The C om er Shop and A n n a sold them to the tourists. T here were lots o f tourists th a t year. In May, Peter asked A n n a to marry him . She said yes. They became engaged. They planned to get married in th e following year. N ow they needed money, so they worked hard and they saved. They were very m uch in love. O n Saturdays, Peter played football or cricket, and A n n a often w ent to the cinem a in Lidney. H e enjoyed sports and she loved w atching films. O ne day, A n n a was reading Film News. T his was a magazine about film stars. She turned the pages. T here was a picture of G reta Gordon! A nn a was pleased. W h at a surprise! Beautiful Woman was going to be a big film. A nd now G reta G ordon had the star part. A n n a w anted to tell Peter about G reta, but she kept h er promise. She did n o t tell anyone. But she did show Film News to Dave Slatin. ‘Look, D ave,’ she said. ‘H ere’s a story about G reta G ordon’ Isn’t it great! S he’s got the big part in Beautiful Woman.’ Dave looked at the magazine. ‘I don’t know anything about films,’ h e said. ‘Is G reta G ordon a big star?’ A n n a laughed. ‘Big star? Yes, she is! S he’s terrific!’ Dave did n o t seem interested. ‘I hope she’s happy w ith her big part,’ was all he said.

T h e w eather was beautiful and th e shop was doing well. But A n n a was n o t very happy. She often thought about G reta G ordon’s visit. W hy had she come to see Dave? W h at had happened to the diam ond rings on her fingers? T here was another problem. A n n a loved Peter and she was going to marry him . But she liked Dave too. Dave was older, but she liked him. A ll the women liked him. But A nna was very close to him all day. In the daytime, A nna was with Dave. In the evening, she was w ith Peter. A n n a was living two lives. O ne life was w ith Dave, th e other life w ith Peter. T h en one Friday, Dave surprised A nna. ‘W h at are you doing tomorrow?’ he asked her. ‘W ould you like to spend the day w ith me? W e can go anywhere you like. We Dave put his arm round A nna’s can go in my car.’ shoulders and kissed her. ‘I’m sorry, D ave,’ said A nna. ‘But Peter wouldn’t like it!’ ‘D on’t be silly,’ said Dave. ‘W e w on’t go far! I’ll close the shop at lunchtim e and we can go to Lidney.’ A n n a w anted to go w ith Dave, but she was worried about Peter. ‘D on’t worry about Peter,’ said Dave. ‘H e’s always busy on Saturday.’ A nna thought for a m om ent. ‘A ll right,’ she said. ‘You take me to th e best cinem a and to th e best restaurant. T h e n I’ll come w ith you.’ ‘O f course!’ laughed Dave. ‘A nything you want, A n n a !’ So th e n ext afternoon Dave and A n n a w ent together to Lidney. T hey had a good time. Dave bought A n n a a new, expensive dress. T h en they w ent to a cinem a and, afterwards, to a restaurant. Peter played cricket th a t Saturday. He never knew about A n n a ’s day w ith Dave. H e was playing in another village and returned to W oodend very late. Dave and A nna were also very late. Dave stopped his car near The Corner Shop. T he night was warm. ‘Thanks, Dave,’ said A nna. ‘It was a lovely day.’ ‘I enjoyed it too,’ said Dave. H e pu t his arm round h er shoulders and kissed her. It was a quick kiss. But for A nna, it was wonderful. he summer passed. The Corner Shop was always busy. Sometimes, Dave opened th e shop o n Sundays too. A nna earned a lot of money. Everyone thought th a t she was happy. But life was difficult for her. She liked Dave. He was her boss, and he was older th an her. But Peter was h er fiance, and he was about th e same age. Dave was quite rich, but Peter had no money. Dave bought A n n a clothes, and he took her out. Peter did n o t buy her clothes and never took h er anywhere. H e was more interested in football. A n n a did n o t like football. Now it was September. Peter played football every Saturday. O ne Saturday, there was a big football m atch on television. M r H art had th e biggest television in th e village and he invited some people to his house. H e invited Peter and A nna. O n Friday, th e day before the m atch, A n n a was working in the shop all day. A t five o ’clock, she locked the shop door. Two minutes later, the bell rang and A n n a w ent to th e door. T here was a young m an outside. H e was carrying a small case. ‘H ello,’ she said. ‘C an I help you?’ ‘I hope so,’ said th e young man. ‘1 w ant to see M r Slatin.’ ‘I’m afraid th a t the shop is closed now,’ said A nna. ‘We are open tomorrow m orning.’ ‘But I’ve got an appointm ent,’ said th e young man. T h en Dave spoke behind A nna. She had n o t seen him. ‘Yes, I’ve been waiting for you,’ said Dave. ‘You’re late.’ ‘I’m very sorry Mr Slatin, said the young man. ‘I w a s. . .’ ‘N ever mind. N ever m ind’ said Dave rudely. His rudeness surprised A nna. T h e young m an seemed afraid. ‘But can you see me now?’ h e asked. ‘Yes,’ said Dave. ‘Come in.’ Dave turned to A nna.
