It has been specifically designed for high school students at the false-beginner to intermediate level. All aspects of successful reading are covered. The importance of vocabulary development is highlighted by the inclusion of vocabulary exercises in every unit. Simple writing activities are also included to give students the opportunity to use information from the texts that they have worked hard to understand Pop Culture focuses on icons of the twentieth century - a theme that will greatly interest high school students. The material is presented in a magazine-style format that students will enjoy using. In each unit, there are three texts dealing with different aspects of the same topic. Many different types of texts are used, including interviews, cartoons, advertisements, biographies, web pages and dialogues. Usage notes are also provided to highlight and explain interesting cultural, grammatical or vocabulary features within the texts. Pop Culture is a valuable source of supplementary material that high school students can relate to. The topics have been carefully chosen to maximise student interest. Although the topics are familiar to the students, they will experience a sense of discovery as they read. Pop Culture is easy to use as each unit follows the same structure. The units can also be used in any order that suits the teacher. Minimal preparation by the teacher is required, and a comprehensive answer key is provided. Exercises Prepare to read The pre-reading questions are designed to stimulate interest in the topic and promote discussion. The questions can be used by the teacher with the whole class, by students in groups or pairs, or by individuals. The questions are personalised to enable students to bring their own ideas and experiences to the topic.Reading A. Understanding key points These comprehension questions are designed to develop skills in reading for general understanding. The questions deal with key points from all three texts. Students identify whether or not the key statements are true. They then modify any untrue statements to make them true. The questions uncover fundamental points in the texts, which students can then use as a basis for more detailed comprehension. Reading B. Understanding details These multiple-choice questions require students to identify details within the three texts. They are designed to help students develop their scanning skills as well as the ability to understand specific details within a text. Reading C. Developing skills These tasks introduce additional reading skills that are particularly relevant to the types of texts in the unit. Skills such as sequencing, identifying cause and effect, identifying examples and distinguishing between fact and opinion are introduced in this section. The tasks are simple and self-contained. Typical activities are completing charts, numbering sentences and ticking boxes. Developing vocabulary The vocabulary development questions focus on a selection of key words and expressions introduced in each text. The questions show students how these key words and expressions are used in context. The first set of questions requires students to match partial sentences featuring key vocabulary to the correct endings. The second set of questions gives students the opportunity to use these new words and expressions in a different context from that of the passage. Students complete each sentence with the correct word. Writing Each unit has a different writing activity, depending on the types of texts presented in the unit. The focus is on writing at sentence, paragraph and text level. Key sentence patterns that appear in the texts are analysed and practised. Students also practise forming coherent paragraphs and complete texts.Contents Unit 1 Comic books 6 Unit 2 .

Do you read comic books? Which ones? 2. Who are your favourite comic book characters? 3. Why do you think comic books are so popular? Q Reading Read the passage, the fact files and the comic strip. than speeding bullet Comic books started out as collections of comic strips from newspapers. They were known as “funny books’, or ‘funnies’, because the comic strips were humorous. it wasn’t until the 1930s that the first adventure stories started to appear. The heroes of these stories were characters like Dick Tracy and the Phantom, But although they had some cool gadgets, these heroes were still just ordinary people. Then in June 1938 a new comic came out. It had a new kind of hero. His powers were far greater than any normal person. He could run faster than a train. He could jump over tall buildings. His name was Superman, and he wasn’t just a hero; he was a superhero. Since Superman made his debut there have been many comic book superheroes. Most worked alone, but sometimes they teamed up with other superheroes. The Justice Society of America USA for short) was a crime-fighting team of nine superheroes. They included the Flash, who was described as ‘the fastest man alive’; and the Green Lantern, who got his special powers from a = magic ring. Today the most popular superhero ‘team is the X-Men. Outside the US, comics have developed in different ways. Japanese comics (known as + 'manga’) include many more topics than American comics do. This is probably why so many Japanese read manga. In fact, manga account for 40 per cent of all book and magazine sales in Japan. Topics range from giant robots and time travel to cooking, sport, romance, and much more. There’s also a huge variety of artistic styles. Although manga are starting to become popular outside Japan, they still aren’t as well known as § : a i i i z : 3 2 3TE Ty SUPERMAN Real name: Clark Kent Occupation: editor-in-chief for The Daily Planet newspaper Height: 190 centimetres Weight: 101 kilograms Powers: can fly, is super- strong, is super-fast, has — *x-ray vision, cannot be injured by bullets - Real name: Diana Prince Occupation: major in US Army |.

He persuaded his parents that it would be useful for emergencies. But Rob’s spending quickly got out of control. Soon he was using it every time he went shopping. ‘| became addicted to using my credit card,’ Rob says. ‘I was spending hundreds of pounds a week on CDs and clothes.

In the US, pre-paid web shopping cards are popular among young shoppers. Pre-paid cards allow you to control your spending. Unlike credit cards, you don’t have to worry about security. However, you need to pay before you shop, which doesn't suit everyone. Another way to avoid credit card debt is to spend your own money. Debit cards have been popular in Europe and the US since the 1990s, and they are now increasing in populatity throughout Asia, Debit cards allow you to pay for things directly from your bank account.

They go to meet the stars of the TV shows and films. They go to buy the books and the T-shirts. But more than anything else, they go to meet and talk to other fans. It’s a social thing. The Internet has made it easier than ever to be a fan. If you want to know when Madonna's new album is coming out, or who Nicole Kidman is dating, you can find out on the Internet. The number of Internet fan sites is growing fast Already there are over one hundred sites all about champion golfer Tiger Woods. An important part of many of these sites is the chance to chat with other fans about Tiger and golf. The Internet is also the only place you'll find ‘fan films’, Fan films are written and directed by fans. They use characters from popular films or TV shows, but the stories are original. The most popular subject by far is Star Wars. It's so popular that in 2000 the Star Wars Fan Film Network was. started. You can find all of the Star Wars fan films on its website, starwars.atomfilms.com. There are also fan films based on ‘The X-files’, ‘Batman’, ‘Star Trek’, and more. Luckily you don’t have to go to the trouble of making a film to be a fan. You could be designing, your own ‘Star Trek’ costume for the next convention.

Gold and silver pants and tiny tight tops became all the rage. Disco-goers wore high-heeled shoes and boots that were almost impossible to walk in. Who knows how they danced in them!

They attached pins to their clothes and even inserted them through their cheeks and eyebrows. Punks really knew how to rebel. | Extreme fashion took a rest during the 80s. Then during the 90s, styles from the 60s and 70s came back. Bell-bottomed pants and crazy high-heeled shoes returned. Midriffs were bare and body piercing came into fashion.

Early film actors started wearing sunglasses not because they were glamorous, but because their eyes hurt The lights used on film sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful condition known as ‘Klieg eyes’, It was named after the Kliegl brothers who invented the lights. Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest. But when filmstars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must-have fashion accessory, Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their films as well as on the street. Audrey Hepburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 film Breakfast at Tiffany's. As a result, Ray- Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in films. In 1979, Ray-Ban ‘Wayfarers’ were the shades worn by Jake and Elwood in The Blues Brothers. Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban ‘Aviator’ sunglasses in the 1986 hit Top Gun. Then in 1997, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban ‘Predator’ sunglasses famous in Men In Black. ~ Of course sunglasses aren't just a fashion statement. The main reason for wearing sunglasses is to protect your eyes against UV radiation. Because we know that UV radiation can damage our eyes, people now choose their sunglasses carefully. But you don’t have to sacrifice style for safety. The choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge.

Why do you think skateboarding is still popular? 3. Where is the best place to skateboard in your town or city? Reading Read the passage, the magazine article and the survey extract. 60 Surfing the conerete All eyes were glued to the skateboarder as he jumped off the U-shaped ramp into the air. High above the ramp, he did two and a half somersaults. He then landed safely back on the ramp. The crowd went wild. It was the 1999 ESPN Summer X Games, and Tony Hawk had just become the first skater ever to do a perfect ‘900’. (The trick is called a “900° because the skater has to rotate 360° + 360° + 180°) Tony Hawk practised the 900 for ten years before he performed it in the ‘Best Tricks’ competition at the X Games. Until he retired recently, he was a professional skateboarder. Professional skateboarders travel the world entering competitions and doing demonstrations. They thrill audiences with their daredevil tricks. Many people skate for fun, and they skate wherever they can find a place to do it. The lucky ones have skateboard parks nearby. Others skate in places like shopping centres or in the open-spaces outside office blocks. Once a skater can do an ‘ollie’, they can skate almost anywhere they like To do an ollie, the skater puts all their weight on the back of the board so that the front of the board lifts up into the air.|Skaters can use the ollie to ride up kerbs and steps, and even up the walls of buildings. For some, a skateboard is just a means of transport. Jay is training to be a website designer. He doesn’t have a car and he rides his skateboard whenever and wherever he can. I ride it to college and to visit friends,’ he says. ‘It helps me save money.’ Then he smiles and adds, ‘It’s not very good for taking a girl out, though!”10 Skateboarding i SKATEBOARDING HLA WINS AUDIENCEVOTE A low bud : | oe he dest oct oa Monica, California, _sides.They developed a ' 1g called Dogtown, in the new style of skateboard- ‘ne ththe surprise 1070s.

This means that it is as high as a 40-storey building, It can accelerate from zero to 100 miles (160 kilometres) per hour in seven seconds. For 6.5 seconds its riders feel weightless as they race towards the top, before they drop to the ground again. Not everyone who goes to a theme park wants to experience terrifying rides. Some just want to be entertained by the shows. Some want to meet their favourite cartoon characters. At Universal Studios, scenes from blockbuster films aré repeated.

He isn’t sure why he got the tattoo, but says, ‘I’ve always wanted one. | don’t know if I can explain why. | have always, always liked them.’ People have different reasons for covering themselves with tattoos, piercings, and other kinds of body art. Some do it because they want to be different. Others want to be part of the current fashion. For Kent, a tattoo is 'a good way to mark a time in your life when things change, or to mark something you want to remember’ Ten years ago, in the West, only motorcycle riders and sailors had tattoos, and people usually only pierced their earlobes, Today tattooing is very popular, especially amongst the young. People are piercing just about any area of skin that can have a hole put in it. Ears are pierced from top to bottom, and rings and studs are inserted into lips, chins, noses, eyebrows, navels and even tongues. Small tattoos have become almost normal. During working hours they stay hidden on shoulders, upper arms, hips and ankles, waiting to be shown at a nightclub or a party. People from all walks of life have them, including many Hollywood stars. Ben Affleck has a number of tattoos, including a bracelet around his upper arm. One of Drew Barrymore's many tattoos is of a butterfly below her navel; and the ‘Mommy’ tattooed on Pamela Anderson's finger used to say ‘Tommy’. Kent's tattoo is of a small boy standing in a doorway with a large shadow in front of him. He designed it himself and it means different things to him. Kent says that he can’t understand why anyone would have a tattoo that doesn’t mean something to them.| Sendra has two holes in each ear, a pierced navel, and a little devil tattooed on her right hip.
