Skills — Listening (Multiple matching)
Read the rubric. Think of health problems related to working in different jobs. E.g. dentist: suffers from backache, etc. Compare with your partner.
You will hear five people talking about their jobs. Match the sentences (A–F) to the speakers 1–5. There is one extra sentence that does not match.
- A The speaker has an exciting job, but requires endurance.
- B The speaker sometimes feels their work is never done.
- C The speaker feels lost without their voice.
- D The speaker feels that on the whole the risks are low.
- E The speaker needs to be careful not to get hurt while practising.
- F The speaker often suffers from upper back problems.
Do the listening task. Which words helped you decide?
Reading (T/F/NS statements)
a) Read the title and look at the picture. What is the text about?
b) Read the rubric, then do the task. You are going to read a text about a dangerous job. For each statement decide if the sentences are T (true), F (false) or NS (not stated).
- Matt is the youngest member of the Epper family.
- Matt doesn’t have much experience.
- Matt’s great-grandmother is recognised for her talents.
- Matt’s great-grandmother retired recently.
The fearless Eppers of Hollywood!
Ten-year-old Matt is standing on the edge of the roof. His family and relatives are calling out to him from below. He can’t hear what they’re saying because his heart is beating louder than their talk. Matt is afraid. Suddenly, he hears his mother’s voice. “Just jump, Matt!”
You’re probably wondering what’s going on. Why would a mother be telling her son to jump off a building? Well, in Matt’s family it’s a phrase you hear all the time and Matt’s jump is his initiation into the family business.
Matt was born into a family of stuntmen. In fact, the Epper family has been doing death-defying stunts since the 1930s. They are the fearless Eppers of Hollywood and danger is their middle name. Matt is the fourth generation of Eppers who might carry on the business. If you’re watching someone hanging from a helicopter or a dangerous car stunt, it’s probably an Epper doing a hard day’s work. They have appeared in films like Die Hard, Commando and Transformers.
Of all the crazy risk-takers in this family, there is one name that stands out as being the toughest of the bunch. Her name is Jeannie Epper who happens to be Matt’s great-grandmother. She is considered to be the greatest stuntwoman who’s ever lived and has received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Oscars. She has been in the business for over 60 years and is still going strong. She worked as a stunt double for Linda Carter in Wonder Woman and Linda Evans in Dynasty.
So what’s it like living with the Eppers? Well, with all the banged-up body parts, you might hear a lot of creaky bones. Every day, somewhere in Hollywood there is an Epper flipping a car or setting themselves on fire. According to Matt’s great-grandmother, “When we do stunts, there’s just no room for fear. You just have to close your eyes and jump!”
Speaking (Make decisions)
a) Read the rubric, then do the task. Use the phrases in the Useful language box.
Look at Picture 1, Picture 2 and Picture 3.

Writing
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to apply for the chef training course advertised in The Daily News. I am very interested in cooking and I would like to improve my skills.
I think I could be a good chef because I am creative, hardworking and I enjoy preparing food for other people. I also learn quickly and I am good at working in a team.
Could you please tell me how long the course lasts? I would also like to know what the timetable is and whether students need to bring any equipment.
I look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Anna Brown
