The key answer of exercise 7
The key to exercise solutions in chapter 6 - A war of words for the textbook Outcomes Advanced - Student's Book with authors Carol Nuttall and Amanda French from National Geographic Learning
Question
Listen to the four news stories and find out what actually happened. Then work in pairs and rank the stories from 1 (= least serious) to 4 (=most serious).
Answer
- A high-level manager at Jazz Drinks is said to have sold crucial strategic information to Pit-Pots for over two million dollars.
- TV presenter Jonas Bakeman is fighting to save his career after stories appeared of his affair with a researcher on his programme, ‘Justice Fight’.
- Campaigners have claimed victory in their battle against full body scanners in airports, saying it is a gross invasion of privacy as the scanners can see through clothing.
- Farmer Tim Langford has agreed to the pink statue of his prize-winning pig being relocated to a nearby sculpture gallery after many complained about it.
Let students decide on least serious to most serious. Story 4 is, perhaps, the least serious, 1 is very serious because it involves a criminal act, but students may argue that 2 (a person’s reputation) and 3 (a fight for a cause) may claim to be more serious.
