Example answers

1In the first photo there are two young people working with a man. They are possibly doing an internship. They are looking at a plan on a large piece of paper so they could be doing an internship in architecture or construction. In the second photo a group of young people are in a lecture – they are listening and taking notes.

2Both photos show young people learning, however, in the first photo they are learning in a practical way. In the second photo they are in more of an academic environment, whereas in the first photo they are learning while doing the job.

3 I think both ways of learning are useful depending on what type of career you want to do. If you want a more practical job it is probably more useful to learn in the actual environment. For some careers, for example being a doctor, you need to learn a lot of theory first, so it’s necessary to learn in a classroom environment.

They say that being an artist would be a satisfying job because it’s creative and involves doing something you love. I agree with them because I’m really creative, too. I agree that being a doctor would be satisfying too because you’re helping other people and you have a good salary.

Example answers

AMultinational companies have to be very careful when creating slogans and advertising straplines, that the message crosses international boundaries. The slogans may need careful translation to fit the local culture.

BTranslating the words for colours doesn’t always work. Many languages use different ways of describing colours – likening an object to another or describing a colour as an object with that colour – while others simply don’t have the words at all.

CTranslation between languages is a vital part of international affairs and it is important that even the most trivial communication between different countries is correctly translated to avoid serious diplomatic repercussions.

Example answer

I think language can change the way we express ourselves but not necessarily the way we think. If someone thinks

of something and there isn’t a way to express it in their language, I think they would borrow a term from another language or create a way of saying it. That’s how language evolves.

Answers

mistranslating = to translate incorrectly

statement = something that you say or write that states a fact or gives information in a formal way

leading = to cause someone to do something

sour = with a taste like a lemon

convey = to communicate ideas or feelings indirectly

treaties = official written agreements between two or more countries. When national leaders negotiate a treaty, they

discuss it before reaching agreement; and when they ratify a treaty, they give it their formal approval, usually by signing it or voting for it

behind the scenes = secretly rather than publicly

worthy = deserving something

3 Advantages: You can watch foreign language films and understand them (providing you understand the language of the subtitles). Dubbing is sometimes distracting if it’s done badly. With subtitles you can hear the original actors’ voices. You can hear the sound of the original language so your listening skills may improve.

Disadvantages: You don’t see all the visual detail of the film because you are reading. The subtitles might not be

accurate. You don’t get to hear intonation because you are reading, not listening.
