Reading (T/F/NS statements)

a) Read the first sentence in each paragraph. What is the text about? Read through and check.

The Mona Foundation is based in Girona, Catalonia. Since 2000, it has provided a safe home for chimpanzees which were performing in circuses or being photographed by photographers and film makers. The foundation was given some land by the local council and had the chimps’ houses and play areas specially designed. The chimps can run and climb, and they even have their own pond!

Although The Mona Foundation receives funding, it runs on volunteers. Those who live locally come whenever they can spare the time. The centre is often visited by community groups and also holds regular fundraising events. Volunteers help out on these occasions as well as doing routine maintenance and gardening at the centre. Volunteers also advertise the foundation’s work and visit schools in the community.

There are other volunteers at the foundation, volunteer keepers, who stay for six months. They live in accommodation at the centre. The volunteer keepers are more closely involved in the daily care of the animals. They collect and prepare the chimpanzees’ food and keep their sleeping areas clean. Once they have been working at the centre for a while, volunteers are given more responsibilities. The work is demanding and the hours are very long but the volunteers are getting the unique experience of working and playing with chimpanzees. Although the chimps are encouraged to look after themselves as much as possible, sometimes the volunteers organise fun activities for them.

b) Do the reading task. Compare your answers with your partner’s.

You are going to read about an animal shelter. Say if the statements 1–5 are T (true), F (false) or NS (not stated).

1. The Mona Foundation provides shelter to wild chimpanzees.
2. The foundation was opened by the Mayor in 2000.
3. Only volunteers work there.
4. Volunteer keepers can spend half a year in the foundation.
5. Volunteers work 9–5.

Speaking (Make decisions)

Read the rubric. Do the task. Use phrases from the Useful language box.

Your parents are planning a holiday by the sea for the whole family. You would like to find some reasonably priced hotels by the beach. Your parents would like to relax by the swimming pool and you and your teenage brother would like to do water sports. Your parents like to eat at restaurants with good seafood in the evenings.

Before making a decision, ask the travel agent about:

• hotel resorts in the area and the facilities they offer;
• distance from the beach and closest town or village;
• good restaurants in the area.

You start the conversation. Your partner will play the part of the travel agent.

Remember to:

• be active and polite;
• ask the questions and find out all the information you need;
• decide on the hotel you will stay at and give reasons for your choice.

Listen to a person doing the task. What place does he choose? Why?
