2  F (PETA argue that although students may get rid of their stress with a petting zoo, these zoos actually cause stress for the animals in them.)

3  T (They believe that if students knew the facts, these zoos wouldn’t have become so popular on campuses.)

4  T (Travel, confinement to small cages and rough handling cause animals intense stress.)

5  F (The students got excited. Reese already had plans – he was going to buy a car for his mum, and a boat!)

6  T (The students knew that they hadn’t earned the money …)

Example answer

The texts outline the events as they happened and appear not to judge people’s actions. In the first text, it is clear that PETA disapproves of petting zoos and there are no arguments in favour so we are encouraged to criticise wrong behaviour. However, in the second text, we are encouraged to value the college students’ right behaviour.

5

a bad bet = a bad idea

confinement = forced to stay in a place, especially in a prison or a cage, and not allowed to leave

bouncy castles = large plastic structures filled with air, and often in the shape of a castle. Children play on them by jumping up and down, for example at a party or a funfair.

smelly = with an unpleasant smell pick = select

empty-handed = without getting anything for your effort

6

Text 1: It’s really cruel. I think we should start a campaign to boycott petting zoos. Text 2: They did the right thing. Your actions, whether good or bad, will often have consequences that you can’t predict.

Example answer

I agree with this statement. Some newspapers run stories without checking if they are true or not. There are people who make a living by inventing stories and selling them to newspapers. Many newspapers print them and then other newspapers print the same story. That’s how stories spread around the world very quickly, whether they are true or not.

Example answers

The method for the first experiment in A was quite good, but it was only done

with one group for each situation and was only done in one city, Chicago. It would be better if they did it with lots of groups and in different cities to see if the results were consistent. The result isn’t surprising to me as I think all social interactions can contribute to our happiness.

The method for the experiment in text C was also quite good, but as with the experiment in A, the psychologists should have expanded the experiment. For example, they should have swapped the roles of each group because it could be that some people are naturally more

collaborative than others. The results they found are quite surprising as you wouldn’t think walking in step with someone would have such a big effect later on.

I think the method that Robert Provine used in text D was good as he studied people in a normal environment not a lab. He also looked at over 2,000 cases over ten years, so his research is likely to be accurate. I don’t think the results are that surprising because I think I laugh a lot more with other people than when I’m on my own.

Example answers

1It’s a good idea to think before you speak because you might panic and say something while you’re angry or upset that you don’t really mean.

2Pausing before giving an opinion gives you time to organise your thoughts and think of the right words.

3It’s good to express your opinions and be assertive and not be scared of what other people think about you.

4To stop you getting angry and upset and possibly saying something that might offend other people.

5Asking questions helps you understand what the other person is saying and proves that you’ve been listening.

6You need to listen to others as you can then learn what the other people’s points of view are.

7More than half of communication is non-verbal, so it’s important to give the right signals.
