This new edition of the Green Book seeks to make your classroom work easier and more efficient. By using
it, you can prepare students for various higher-level exams or simply improve their word-power and language
competence in general. An answer key with tapescripts and an English-Czech vocabulary have been
included in the textbook. The authors - American, British and Czech - have tried to maintain a balance by
providing both British and American usage.
To the student
This textbook should give you an idea of the level of English required for more advanced examinations.
Relevant and interesting material has been supplemented with lexical exercises. Practice makes perfect,
And more practice... are exercises aimed at providing more context, idioms, metaphors and euphemisms.
The other exercises are mostly meant for classroom use. Howeveq you can work on your own, without a
teacher, since there is an answer key. There are a few longer texts for reading comprehension, and each unit
has a listening comprehension exercise.
Prioritising Vocabulary
It would be unrealistic to expect any student to learn and retain all the words related to any topic. If you have
already dealt with the topic, you can put your knowledge to use in the many speaking and discussion activities
provided, as well as "topping up" your vocabulary in each topic. If you are seeing much of the vocabulary for
the first time, a process of prioritising is recommended. You should decide for yourself if you need an item,
and should not try to learn everything at once. We recommend methodical revision. After studying several
topics, you should revise earlier ones and in the process, add some of the vocabulary that you did not study
the first time round. In closing, we hope that you will enjoy using the book and wish you all the best for your
further studies of Enelish. The authors .
Acknowledgements
This book has evolved from vocabulary lists added to by generations ofteachers of the Brno Language School.
After the Velvet Revolution, the first booklet was published with the help of the native speakers working at
the school at that time, the major part being rewritten by Tony Long. The greater parl of the second edition,
published by the State Language School in Brno, was added by John Ceccarelli in collaboration with many
others (in particular Ondiej Matu5ka, who fonnatted the book), all of whom I would like to thank here. My
thanks also go to Anne Johnson for proofreading this new edition of the textbook. Last but not least, my thanks
go to my friends and family for their supporl and understanding.

George and I didn't just want to build a house that would last. We also
wanted it to be environmentally sound, something that we could f-eel
proud to live in. We therefore installed state-of-the-ar1 solar panels on
the roof. We lined the walls with extra-thick insulation and installed
double-glazed windows so the house would keep in the heat. We even
reused the huge piles of sawdust that were left over from the job. We
had them compressed into wood pellets that could be burned in our
new wood-stove. It's amazing. One scoop of pellets burns for as long
as a whole los of wood. and heats the whole house.

The Jacket
ich clever student first nicknamed our Enslish teacher
is lost in the myths and legends of a school full of stories,
but he made it meet all the reouirements of a
good nickname: it was a joke without malice, a keen
observation, and a nod of respect to a man about whom
we understood little, except that he knew how to be
alone, which is the deepest of mysteries to
most teenagers.

a true and affectionate fiiend the jacket smelt of dog and handrolled cigarettes, of an absence of a
raincoat, of spent gunpowder, and of a
sweat that had nothing to do with dirt. The jacket was, or had been, a
mixture of dark, muddy brown and stormy sunset red, which matched
his windburnt face perfectly. And it used to smile with him, fbr when
his face relaxed and his eyes lit up, his shoulders too would lose their
usual tension and drop fbr a moment, so man and jacket would greet
you, as honest as a scrap of wool stirred by the breeze on a thorn-bush.

f Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of living
I
l've lived in this little village all my life.
I was bom in the house I now live in.
I went to school at the little school over
there when it was just a one-r0onl
school, and after the war, I came back
to raise my crops and my family like
my father did and his tather before him. You see, I like this lif'e. I've seen what life in the city is like, so I'm
not just some ignorant country boy. I don't v'out Io clunge.I'm a farmer. and that's all I ever wanted to be.
ln you
Unfbr-tunately, it seems that these days if you don't go to change then change will come to you, and thitt's
exactly what's happened here. in this village. You see, it seems rents are getting a little too high over there
in the city, so those rich fblks have all decided to come out and live in the village. I suppose they think it's
quaint. They like the small town chann of the place and the peace and quiet.
4*
The tacilities here just weren't designed for this many people. There's only one roacl that comes into the
town, and it's jr-rst a little two-lane roiid that winds its way past the chapel, then through the town sqllare.
Well. it just can't handle all of the traffic that goes through here on weekends now, and on some Sundays
you have to go through hell and back just to get to chr-rrch. The same thing goes lor our town store and the
school.
countrv to us!

RETURN TO
THE INNER CITY
a,
oa
* Over the last thirty years. a migration took place in most major .
I American cities - a migration away from the inner cities. As :
al
. cities expanded in both population and size, many people have .
I decided to move away from city centers and out to the suburbs. :
! There were many reasons for this change. Probably the most :
!6'aimportant was the opportunity of owning a house in the :
* suburbs. Every day construction companies built more tract .
o'a
o homes: cheap and often prefabricated houses which, although .
at
r not very beautiful, were economical and within reach of r
! middle-class families looking to own their own house.

and
Another
major concern was :
!
' safety. With crime, especially violent crime, on the rise in many :
s American cities, many people decided that the inner cities were .
I not a safe place to live, especially if there were children :
J involved. Thus much of the upper and middle classes fled the :
aa
* inner cities, leaving the poor to inhabit the city centres. .
::
. In recent vears, however, some American cities have seen a r
a'
I reversal of this trend. As more and more people move out to :
! the suburbs, the freeways and public transportation systems :
a,a
i that take these people to their jobs in the cities have become !
! overcrowded, leading to all the miseries of heavy commuter :
! traffic. Many of the suburbs have also become more expensive :
! to live in, while the apartments in the inner cities have dropped .
a'a
o somewhat in price. Also, the suburbs can often be sterile, .
I boring places, faceless blocks of tract houses and shopping :
I malls with no cultural life or entertainment. The result of these :
! factorr is that some middle-class professionals have started :
I moving back into the city, bringing with them the resources :
I and the initiative needed to revive the run-down city centres :
' and help deal with some of the problems that decades of poverty :
e and neglect have brousht about.
.

however, were not the only reasons
oa
s for the migration to the suburbs. Many people were also trying

You're really worried about money, so you think the
only way to do it is to hitchhike. You've done it
before, although on much shorler trips. Anything
else is just going to be too expensive.

MODERN DEVELOPMENTS
I

t0na

I
I
Over the last fifty years, British farming has become increasingly
industrialised, run by a small group of powerful corporations and relying
on machines and chemicals more than farmers and nature. Our environment
and our health are paying the price for agribusiness profits. It's time to
put a stop to the destruction of our countryside.
1. The use of chemicals in farming. Too many farms recklessly use
dangerous pesticides and fertilisers on their fields. These chemicals often
seep down into the groundwater and contaminate nearby rivers and lakes as
well as the supply of drinking water. Nitrates fiom fertilisers are especially
destructive, as they cause rapid growth in algae which chokes all other
plant and animal life in contaminated streams. We demand a retum to the
natural system of farming, goverxment subsidies to organic farmers, a ban

and strict penalties for farmers who dama_9e the environment.
2. The removal of hedgerows. Hedgerows are a vital part of our
ecosystem. They prevent erosion by holding the topsoil down

larger fields, industrial f'arms have been draining wetlands and
slashing down forests at an alarming rate. Almost 907a of Britain's
wetlands have now been drained for use as farmland. This
recklessness hurts not only us, but other countries as well, as it

Dog
Dogs kill, maim, and disflgure thousands of people every year,
all over the world. The statistics in "civilised" countries. such
as Britain, are appalling. The problem seems to be that no
politician wiil risk losing an election to protect people fi'om
theil favourite pet, and no police ofTicer wants to be seen as
a dog-hater.
These are pets that have run off and bred in the wild, and their
colonies are features of the outskirts of most third-world cities.
But they're a big problern in America, too....
BaId Eagle
In one of the most unfbrtr.rnate clashes of fact and stereotype
in history, the eagle that symbolises America on flags, coins
and banknotes is of a species that often turns to robbely ancl
scavenging to make a living. One of its specialities is chasing
fish eagles until they drop what they have caught. then eating
it. Benjamin Franklin, a founder-philosopher of the An.rerican
state, was bitterly opposed to its use as a symbol, and suggested
the wild turkey in its place.
Gorilla
The gorilla's reputation has been the victim of two of the least
truthful and minimally intelligent groups of people on Earth:
Hollywood and white hunters. It is, in fact, a gentle, sociable
vegetarian, much given to chewing bamboo by day and building
comfy beds fbl itself and its young by night. Its worst habit is
beating its chest and running up to visitors, but if they stand
their ground instead of shooting. the gorilla backs down. It's
all show.
Wolf
Co-operative hunlers that kill only when they need to, look
after each others' young and bring food back to the den for
mates and young that cannot hunt, wolves might be cited as
examples of good behaviour, rather than being systernatically
hunted for "crimes" they seldom commit. It is an interesting
fact that there exists absolutely no scientifically proven evidence
that a healthy wolf has ever killed and eaten a person in America,
and close examination of evidence in Eurasia proves that this
is a very rare event there.
Hyena
Condemned, like many scavengers, to being a symbol of
cowardice and underhand practice, the hyena has proved, on
closer study of its nocturnal habits, to be a hunter every bit as
Pio
^^b
Raven
Big, black and mysterious, the raven lives on the border of
superstition and tact. A highly intelligent and adaptable bird, it
mates for li1-e and exists on carrion and whatever small animals.
from beetles to rodents, it can catch. Despite the legends, it kills
nothing larger than a rabbit. lt is interesting to compare attitLldes
tow.rrds the raven,
and towards the swan, a white and thoroughly r-rseless bird tlrat
does little but pollute lowland pastures and ponds.

THE OLYMPICS
FROM ATHENS TO LONDON
at

In 1896, a French nobleman named Pierre de Coubertin welcomed
n
athletes from thirteen countries to compete in the l-irst Olympic Games in
Athens. Of course, this event was not the first of its kind. Rather, it was
modelled on the ancient Greek Olympic Games held between city states
during the 'Golden Age' of Greece. The modern version of the games,
however, is very different from the original ones.

But the games have also had their share of problems. One of them

The spirit of non-violent competition has also been disrupted by
fl
intemational politics. The PLO murdered Israeli athletes in Munich 1972,
and many countries have boycotted the games on numerous occasions: in
1976, thirty-three African countries refused to take part in the Olympics kr
protest against apartheid in South Africa, and the United States and the
Soviet Union traded boycotts in the 1980s, with the US and its allies refusing
to participate in the 1980 Summer Games in Moscow, and the USSR and its
allies doing the same in the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles. These
problems just go to show that although the Olympic Games reflect some of
our loftiest ideals thev also reflect some of our worst conflicts.

Although the tabloid press has long been the subject of scorn and criticism
in British society, it was, for the most part, not taken as anything too
serious. The sleazy, sensationalised newspapers were seen more as an
embarrassment and a minor irritation than a real problem. The death of
Diana, Princess of Wales, however, lent a new urgency to the whole issue.
and maintained by the tabloids was brought to a
tragic end, at least in part by the behaviour ofthe paparazzi. In the public
outcry that followed Diana's death, many called for strong action against
the excesses of tabloid reporters and photographers. But how will these
actions,
if
informed?
Many people agree that the tabloid newspapers often do go too far.
Obviously, no celebrity can escape some level of intrusion by the media.
However, the tabloid press does not aiways stop at this. Many celebritres
have had to endure public exposure of the most intimate details of their
lives, as papanzzi photographers snap shots of them in every imaginable
setting. They have also had to endure countless assaults on their
reputations, as the tabloid papers report half-truths and dirty rumours as
if they were established facts. There are truly no holds barred in the
battle to get the largest circulation.

So, what can be done? One way to keep journalists from this type of
irresponsible behaviour is through the courts. If a newspaper writes an
untrue story about you, or damages someone's reputation by telling lies
about them in print, it can be sued for /ibel. Newspapers therefore have
to make sure that their stories are based on the facts provided by reliable
sources the people who newspaper writers get their information from.
Therefore, if I write a story which accuses an MP of being an alcoholic,
I have to have at least one source who will testify that he or she has
actually seen that person habitually drunk.

A monopoly until 1954, the BBC operates under a royal charter. lt is funded from a fixed-term license fee paid by
households with a television set. The BBC has four national radio networks.
Now,
The BBC has two 21 national television services, which together transmit more than 200 hours a week; both have
mixed programmes that are coordinated 22 to avoid conflicts.
There is 23 substantial regional activity in both media. Of the six regions in the kingdom that formerly operated
with a fair degree of 24 autonomy, only the "national" regions remain for Scotland, Wales, and Northern lreland. 25 ln
place of the other three 26 regions, North, Midland, and West and South, there are 20 production centres for both
radio and television. Regions 27 broadcast their own programmes by 28 opting out of Radio 4 or BBC 1 and using
their own section ol the 29 corresponding network. Radio Cymru broadcasts in the Welsh language for Wales. There
are about 50 30 local FM (VHF) stations.

Read the text and observe the collocations with the the words MEDIA and COVERAGE.
Why do the mainstream media provide such partial and inadequate coverage of our multicultural society?
English
First, and obviously, the media are owned and controlled by the powerful and wealthy, whose interests are generally
not in sympathy with those on the outside. And, historically, very few people of color and other minorities have been
lether in
represented on the staffs of major television stations, newspapers, or magazines, making it unlikely that the concerns
of their communities would receive fair or adequate coverage...
lf you want to get your feet wet but don't know quite what interests you, pick up a copy of the Utne Reader al
a magazine stand. Every other month, Eric Utne and his staff put together a compilation of articles from the
alternative media, ranging from "Buddhism American Style" to "Class Bias on Campus". You'll find lots of information
here on alternative sources. Similarly, the magazine Alternative Press Review, which calls itself "your guide beyond
the mainstream", can help you find available periodicals, books and films. And when you're in a large bookstore,
browse through the magazine section; you'll probably be surprised and delighted by the wide range of offerings.

After rubbing tanning lotion over her firm thighs, Janet lay down.
A heavy rain fell on the streets, drenching the shadowy figure that waited beneath the streetlight
It was a beautiful day, and the sun was beating down on her creamy brown skin.
He had just got it lit when a car came speeding around the corner and stopped in front of him.
Having grown tired of looking out at the quiet stars, Zika Black left the computer monitor and
started fixing herself an instant hamburger.
Suddenly, there was a blinding flash of light, and all of the ship's computers started emitting warning signals.
It was 3 a.m. Standard Earth Time and all was quiet in the Omega section of the frontier.
Suddenly a shadow blocked out the sun's rays.
Looking around nervously, the man tried to light a cigarette with his wet matches.

POETRY
Thefintpoetry Iremembertooktheformofnusery
verses sung or recited by my mother to get me to sleep. I lerunt more at inf'ants' school,
but the prirne poems of childhood were the playground chants that provided the
soundffack for games, often quite grisly little rituals based on the child's view of history
beheadings, battles, political intrigue disguised er"s fairy-tale. From these to narrarive
poetry, or ballads - stories told in verse, often with quite strict pattems of rhyme and
fonn - was only a shoft step. Highwayrnen and chirse stories, sailing ships and taraway
places, life stories andtales of love, they fascinated me f'oryears. laterl was toencounter
their ancestors. the earliest known European poems, incredibly long pieces known as
sagas, f'eaturing ancient gods and goddesses, aurd the very first heroes and monsters,
even saints eud dragons. It seems that, fbr much of history if a tale was worth telling,
was worth telling in verse.
one particular mood or emotion of the poet. They include sonnets, l4-line poems
iuranged in a strict formula of rhyme and rhythm, often divided into two sections
the first of eight lines. the second of six. In those that Shakespeare wrote, they
ended with a pair of rhyming lines that summed up the poet's f'eelings - and often
my own - in a shor-t, perf'ect, brilliant display of words. For a conf used youth trying
to come to tenns with love, death, war, farnily politics, and everything else that
makes early adulthood so stressful, they were pure medicine. Of course. Old Bill
was not the only one to write sonnets. Just about every budding poet has tried,
including nre. John Donne, one of Britain's greatest early poets, once remarked
that anyone can write one sonnet, but only an idiot would write two.
So what do I remember now, what cern I quote, in rriddle age? Snatches of ballads
and narative poems, lots of limericks - t'ive-line nonsense poelns, many of thent
dirty - some of the filthy doggerel that cannot be separated fiom playing British

ol any similar

What were they? What did you do?
tt
.l
>
You sit down at a desk in class and find a really nice pencil case
under the seat. It's just the kind you have always wanted, but your mother
refuses to buy it for you because it costs too much. Someone has obviously
left it there by mistake. Do you give it to the teacher, leave it where it is, or
keep
it for yourself?
B > Some of the older kids at school are bullying you. They push you
around in the halls during lunch break, and they even knocked you down
and stole your lunch money once. You're afraid to tell your parents,
because they'd probably make a fuss in front of everyone and make things
even worse.
C > There's an exam coming up in your maths class and you know you
will do poorly because you have been ill for a long time and have fallen
behind. You would ask your teacher if you can take the exam later, but he is
the strictest and nastiest teacher in the school, and you're sure he'll say no.
As you wait for the teacher to finish talking to another student, you see the
answer sheet to the exam lying on the table.
E > Your boyfiiend / girlfiiend has asked you for help in writing a book
report. You start by trying to make a few suggestions, but it soon becomes
obvious that s/he hasn't read the book and wants you to write the report
yourself.

You are a small farmer who is trying to compete with the
big industrial farms. As if the pressures of running a farm
weren't enough, now there is a new environmental group
that wants to restrict the use of pesiicides and fertilisers.
Without these products, you have no chance of keeping
your farm. You hate the way that environmentalists trumpet
their high causes but give no thought to how their actions
hud people economically.

H: Yes, if you see it from the animal'.s point of view, it
must really look quite mad.
M: It certainly does. So, a good idea is to tell your children what their present is, maybe by putting a dog collar
or something like that under the tree, and thenwait afew
days until things have settled down before you actually
bring the animal home.
H: Well, that makes sense. And tell me, are certain pets
better than others as gifts?
M: Well, the animal you choose should.fit the personwho
is going to look after it. Many times people bring home
a puppy, and atfirst the children are oll excited and play
with it all the time, but then school starts again and they
see the puppy needs to be looked a.fter and the puppy gets

Part B
So I gave up weight training, and decided to get more
aerobic exerci.se, but I couldn't decide which kind to
take up. I know that su,imming is strpposed to be the best
aerobic exercise, bttt I'm nol ct verry good swimmer. I can
barell, do the breast stroke. So thatwas out. And aerobics,
being a woman s sport and all, u,as definitely out. In the
end I decided on cvcling and squash. I bike to work every
day, and my girlfriend ond I go out on bnger trips on the
weekend when the w,eather s nice. And I have some./i'iends
who I play squash with on Thursday nights, so that w'orks
oltt my upper body ond lets me release some tension a,s
well. On the whole, I'd say I'm pretty.fit.

As in most.familie.s, nr,, son, Tommv, and I hutte tten,
dffirent lilbstyles. But there is one thing, that bridges
the generation gap befvteen us, and tltatis t'uusic. I ctnt a
passionate lover o/ classical music and opera, and I am
proud of the /hct thttt I hove helped to instil thttl same
love in Tbmm.v.
When Tontm.y v,tts.iust an infant, I used to pnt on some
Bach or Tt:haikov.sky when we were in the car on Iong
journeys. He loved il, and he w'ould sing Beelhoven's
Fifth ot the top of hi.s lungs all dov long.
Ilhen he w,as older, Tbntnt), started taking piano lessons,
and he nnde ext'ellent progress. He alw'uy.s had a great
ear.fbr nursic, and he plaved at several recitals. Then one
dot', r'rhen Tttmnry vvas I 3, he told me that he w'untetl to ttt'
something dil/brenl: the guitctr. That s v'lten things ,s'tarted
to change tt little. More and more, I stcu'ted heuring the
blaring sttund,s of heavl, metal guitars and drums conring
out of his room. He didn't tottch the piuno un.y ntore, but
I don't reull.v mind. All thatis reall.,- intportttnt is that he
still plol:s'mtr.sit'. ln.fLtct, he.joined cr rock bandu,hic'h now
rehearses ever.v Sundav- in our bttsement.
I suppo,se somc p(trenls tt,ould have been disapltoinled.

might htrve olher tastes in music, he still loved c'las'sical

I decided lo buy settsott tic:kets for the two o/'us. That
