Would you like to be famous? Why or why not? What would you like to be famous for? Do you think celebrities have the right to complain about their lack of privacy?
My cartoon hero
Miley Cyrus, One Direction, Usain Bolt, Angelina Jolie... Almost everybody knows them and some even consider them as heroes. But... there are also a lot of heroes in our everyday life. People who do a lot of things for other people without asking anything in return... Do you know such people? It might be your grandmother, your neighbour, a coach... Maybe you should thank these people one day for doing a lot of hard work! Without all these everyday heroes, life would be a lot more difficult.

The mystery star
Play a game of 'who is it' with your friend and family, but try to think of famous people. For instance, when you think of Serena Williams, the other person could ask: Is it a man? No. Is she a movie star? No.

English in Britain... or is it England? Or English everywhere?
England, Britain, the UK? It is rather difficult, isn't it? If you still have trouble, look at this image.
It is also not that difficult if you want to see these places without going there. For instance, you can go to Google Earth and zoom in on different places and cities. There are also webcams all over the British Isles which show you the daily life. For example, on the following website you can see the streets of Dublin: http://www.earthcam.com/world/ireland/dublin/?cam=templebar

Unit 3: Do you want to come to my party?
She's a friend
Dr. Love...
Did you ever ask anyone's advice about a friendly or romantic relationship? Did this person help you or did it make everything worse? Who do you turn to for advice?
Look at the texts in your workbook pg. 66-67. Instead of thinking of the good advice you could give Jeannie, Katie, Susie, Stuart and Scarlett, think of the worst advice you could give them.

What kind of friend am I?
The Giving Tree - Shell Silverstein
Look at the youtube video and think about these questions:
- Is the boy selfish? And the tree?
- Is the boy a good friend to the tree? And the tree to the boy?
- Have you ever given something away and later wished you didn't?
- When you give something to someone, do you expect something in return? Why?
- Do you think that it is okay that the boy keeps getting gifts, but doesn't give the tree anything back?
- Why did the tree love the boy in the beginning? Why did the tree keep on loving the boy?
- Did the boy love the tree? Why?
- Who do you love? Why do you love them? How do you know that you love someone?
- Can you love someone even if they are not with you?
- Can you be angry with someone and still love them at the same time
- Is the boy happy at the end of the story? Is the tree happy?
- Does it make you happy when others are happy? Have you ever done something just to make someone happy?
