Task 3

Let’s do the fill-word with the words denoting problems in the neighbourhood.

Task 4

Read the text and the best variant to the gap.

Even if you live in the heart of the city, there's no reason why you shouldn't 1 ……………… up gardening. We can't all afford a large garden, but we can all create a space where we can follow the seasons. Whether it's a window box, a balcony or a tiny yard, anyone can have the pleasure of looking 2 ……………… plants.

A window box is a small box of plants that literally sits outside your window. Here, the choice of plants is what counts. You want a splash of colour all year 3 ……………… , so choose flowers that bloom at different times of the year. Daffodils, for example, are beautiful spring flowers and will soon have you looking forward to summer. Their bright colours will also attract butterflies, bringing a touch of life. If you've got a balcony, you've got a little more freedom. In this case, the key is to 4 ……………… maximum use of the space you've got available. Put taller plants against the walls of the house, with shorter plants and flowers along the 5 ……………… of the balcony.

You can also add a water feature; a small fountain creates interest and can have a cooling effect on a hot summer's day. If your neighbours' balcony is next to yours, why not use a fast-growing plant like wisteria to form a natural barrier, giving you more privacy?

Those of you who are lucky enough to have a small yard can really go to town. Think about how you're going to use it. Do you want to be able to sit and enjoy the sun? Or do you want to be 6 ……………… to entertain friends and have a barbecue? Divide the yard into separate areas and plan each one carefully. Garden furniture is very important. A table that folds in half can give you a lot of flexibility, and chairs that fold away also allow you to change your garden to 7 ……………… your mood. As 8……………… as plants are concerned, choose varieties that don't mind a bit of shade, unless your yard gets a lot of sun. Yards often have walls that keep the sun out for long periods and you don't want your careful plans spoiled because a few of your plants start to die.

1 1) take 2) set 3) put 4) make

2 1) on 2) up 3) after 4) down

3 1) round 2) over 3) along 4) across

4 1) get 2) make 3) have 4) do

5 1) edge 2) boundary 3) rim 4) frame

6 1) capable 2) possible 3) able 4) probable

7 1) fit 2) suit 3) copy 4) go

8 1) much 2) long 3) few 4) far

Task 6

Complete the dialogue with appropriate phrase. Put them in the right order.

The first and the last two exchanges in the dialogue are done for you. Drag and drop.

Well, I’m sorry to say this, but it stinks and I just can’t put up with it any more.
But bin bags cost money! It doesn’t cost me anything to throw my rubbish straight into the bin.
Also, the smell attracts flies and other insects, so it could become a health risk.
Well, it’s about your rubbish bin actually.
It’s full of rubbish! What do you expect?
What’s the problem?
You could put your rubbish in a bag first, so it smells less. That’s what I do.
I see. Sorry about that.
Yes. I appreciate that, but the smell is offensive and very annoying. It drives me crazy!

Bob: Can I have a word with you for a minute, please?

1____________________

The home is full of hidden dangers. Not many people would think that curtains or the TV are especially unsafe. Children, however, can strangle themselves on curtain cords and can be crushed under falling TV sets. So, make sure curtain cords are out of reach of children and attach your TV to the wall.

2______________________

There are many things that you can do to keep your home safe. For example, never hide a pair of house keys in a ‘secret’ place in your garden. Burglars know where to look! Never give personal information to unidentified telephone callers. And establish a daily routine that ensures that you will never leave your house without first locking all the doors and windows.

3______________________

Germs are not only found in public places but also around the home. Too often, people do not wash their hands after going to the toilet or before preparing food. To keep your home clean, wipe down surfaces regularly using disinfectant and a clean cloth. There is no need to buy expensive disinfectants: vinegar and hot water is a cheap and effective alternative.

4_____________________

Burglars prefer houses which are easy to break into. They like to work under the cover of darkness and avoid places where forcing entry would be too noisy or time-consuming. So, install outside lights with motion detectors, invest in a burglar alarm, and put security devices such as bars and locks on windows and doors.

5____________________

Every year, millions of children are injured at home. Fortunately, most incidents are easily preventable. Lock cabinets and drawers where medicines and cleaning products are kept. Put child safety gates at the top of the stairs and cover sharp corners and plug sockets to prevent cuts and electrocutions.

6_________________

Do you have a high energy bill every month? Well, there are plenty of things you can do to cut down on your energy consumption. Wash your laundry using cold water. Install low-flow showerheads. Identify air leaks in your home and repair them. An easy way to find air leaks is by using a candle. When the flame slants, you have found the air leak.

7_________________

Trees in our gardens help to shelter our homes from cold winter winds. Therefore, strategically placed trees can really help stop a house from getting cold. Consult a professional gardener on where to plant trees to best shelter your home.

Noisy neighbours biggest problem

Do you get on well with your neighbours, or are the people living next door stressful? A new report says that a quarter of people in Britain have had problems with their neighbours in the past year. The survey was carried out by an organization called "Which?” It tries to help and protect consumers. The researchers asked 2,062 adults about their relations with neighbours. They found that 27 percent had experienced problems. "Which?" said on its website that: "Half [of the people] were left feeling angry and half felt irritable, with 42 percent saying they felt stressed, and one in ten admitted to feeling afraid." It added: "The survey also found that 64 percent didn't know where to go to seek help and advice." The biggest complaints about neighbours were loud voices and the sound of arguing. Loud music and televisions, and doors slamming were also a problem. People also described drug use and police arriving at their neighbour's house. Only one-third of people spoke to the noisy neighbour about the problem. However, people said the problem became worse if the neighbour did not apologise or continued with their annoying behaviour. "Which?" said 86 percent of young people (those aged 18-24) did not know where to go to get advice. A "Which?" spokesperson said: "Our research has found that young people especially are suffering in silence." "Which?" said people needed to keep a diary of unneighbourly behaviour.
