What does it mean? 10 The article does begin and end with positive statements about zoos, which could give the impression that the writer thinks they have a role to play. 11 She sees zoos as giving families a way to open discussion on important issues. The experience of visiting a zoo is also a bonding experience for different generations.

He depended so much on the hatchet for survival that he thought he would no longer be a real person without it. 13 The last sentence may have been left standing alone because it is so important. The loss of the hatchet was all Brian could think about and he could hardly believe it.

What does it mean? 13 The stomach bag needs to be pricked all over before cooking to prevent bursting. If the bag bursts, this step may have been omitted or not done carefully enough. 14 The kidneys need to be simmered gently rather than boiled or they will become tough. 15 It will take approximately 40 minutes to prepare and cook the kidneys. 16 Kidneys Bordelaise would be the healthier alternative. It uses much less fat and also contains a little more in the way of vegetables and herbs. 17 In days gone by people needed to make economical use of all parts of an animal. Most people had much less money than families have today and offal was very cheap. It was also considered to be nutritious.

There was little work around and many people were starving. 7 He loved the excitement of poaching. 8 He said they had guns to shoot the vermin who go after the pheasants, but also so they could take a pot at the poachers. What does it mean? 9 He was shocked because he couldn’t believe that his beloved father could be a thief. 10 His dad claimed that poachers only stole from rich people in order to feed their starving families. 11 Danny pointed out that no one was starving in their family. 12 You can tell how exciting he found poaching by the language he used, saying it was a ‘fabulous and exciting sport’ which ‘gets into your blood’, and also by his behaviour when he talked about it. For example, he leapt off the bunk and waved his mug in the air and tried to describe it vividly for Danny. 13 Danny was frightened that his father might get hurt. 14 They go at night because the keepers won’t be able to see them as easily and also because the birds will be roosting (asleep in the trees) and will be easier to catch. 15 They seem to be close. Danny loves his father and worries about him. Danny’s father trusts and confides in his son. They talk to one another.

What does it mean? 15 Japanese women probably did this to display their wealth. Poor people couldn’t have afforded anything like this number of kimonos made from such rich fabrics. 16 The Emperor was able to wear slippers covered in brocade because he didn’t have to work. He wouldn’t have had to walk outside either. Emperors were carried on a litter (a seat or couch between poles) by their servants. 17 They probably wore this to make them look even fiercer and frighten their enemies. It probably made them feel braver, too.

What does it mean? 15 He was so desperate that he would give anything for the cabbages in order to get some vegetables for his sick sister. 16 Because she had been longing to write a journal but had not been able to obtain any paper to write on. 17 In the new colony of Sydney Cove food was in short supply. Therefore, anyone who had access to food could control others who wanted it. UNIT 12: Animal magnetism What is being said? 1 a cheetah a very speedy member of the cat family from south-western Asia b majestic stately, grand c regal impressive, royal d carnivore a flesh-eating animal e bonded individuals united with one another f hygienic clean, sanitary g out of sorts feeling a little unwell h precautions things done to prevent future trouble or danger i to have had a good innings to have had a long life 2 Tigers, leopards, cheetahs and lions. 3 Because they are majestic and regal with lots of attitude and personality. 4 Three years. 5 Because they are classified as carnivores, just like the big cats. 6 6.40 am. 7 Chicken, beef, kangaroo and horse. 8 Twice a day. 9 3.00 pm. 10 She says there is no way to stay dry when it is cold and raining. 11 A white tiger. 12 i She is outside in the fresh air ii She is working with animals iii She learns something every day What does it mean? 13 One keeper was responsible for each cub, and they looked after them for a long time (from four weeks to five months old). They bottle-fed them every four hours. They were like mothers and their babies. 14 The cats would be at their most ferocious at feeding time and would probably see the keepers as rivals for their food. 15 Because she is working with animals that are seen as very dangerous. 16 Chester ‘had a good innings’ because, although it was sad when he died, he had a long life for a tiger.
