You cannd more information about him at http://www.andrewcrofts.com/. 1   1.12 Tell students to look at the images on the page.Explain that the man in the photo is Andrew Crofts, aghostwriter. Read denitions 1–3 with students and elicit the meaning of   pen name if necessary. Ask students todecide on the denition they think is correct. Play therst part of an authentic interview with Andrew Croftsand ask students to check their answer. Denition 3   1.12  A: Andrew, what exactly does a ghostwriter do?B: A ghostwriter helps someone who has a story or anexpertise that they want to put into book form butdoesn’t actually have the right skill to produce the bookthemselves. So they have the story in their head, or intheir ling cabinets, or in their memory in some wayand a ghostwriter will listen to what they have to sayand then will create a book from that, in their voice. 2  Ask students to work in pairs and discuss the questions. Possible answers 1 People who aren’t able to write their life storythemselves because they have no time or aren’t goodat writing or writing in English.2 Advantages: you don’t have to think of a story, youhear interesting stories.Disadvantages: people don’t know that you wrote thebooks.

So hesuggested that I should do it for the money and that hewould get the glory. 2 Direct students to the words in the box. Ask studentsto check the meaning of these words in a monolingualdictionary, if possible.  Alternative procedure Explain or check the meaning of the the words in context.For example: I’m a sucker for chocolate cake.

Direct students to the Fighting it out  book summary onpage 18 for an example.Students should be familiar with the structure of the pastcontinuous tense. Before doing the next exercise, revise thestructure with the class using the examples in the grammarbox. Remind students of the irregular spellings of some  –ing  forms (eg  planning  ).Point out that was / were are pronounced as weak forms /wəz/ and /wə/ . Drill the examples in the grammar box. 2  Ask students to complete the summary of the book inpairs. Do the rst one or two with the class as examples if necessary. In class feedback, elicit why each tense is used.Check pronunciation of weak forms.  Answers are numbered in the order they appear in thetext.1 was studying 5 were living2 met 6 started3 married 7 experienced4 returned 8 were attacking 3  Ask students to imagine they are writing a story.Direct students to the sentences. Ask them to completethe sentences in pairs and then write two sentences of their own, making them as dramatic as possible. Point out they can do this by using lots of adjectives and adverbs tocreate atmosphere and add detail.Students compare with another pair and read out theirbest sentence to the class. G Grammar focus Refer students to the language summary on past simpleand past continuous on page 134. You can use the exercises on page 135 for:a) extra practice now b) homework c) review a couple of lessons from now. The answers are on page XXX of the Teacher’s Book.   1.14  A: You’ve written many successful books as a ghostwriter.Have you been tempted to stop ghostwriting and writebooks under your own name?B: I have written books under my own name as well, but ifI … I’m just a sucker for a story and if somebody rings meup, particularly if they have an interesting foreign accentand I think, you know, I’m going to travel somewhere andmeet somebody that’s had a life I’ve … is going to be newand interesting to me, I just can’t resist. A: What have you learned from your experiences as aghostwriter, as a writer and as an individual?B: I think as a writer it is the capturing other people’svoices … erm and learning how to structure a story sothat it works in a book form.As an individual it has taught me a huge amount abouthow the rest of the world lives. Otherwise … like mostwriters I don’t go out that much and I wouldn’t go outat all if I could sit at home and write novels just frommy imagination. So it has forced me to go out andmeet a far more diverse … erm number of people than Iwould ever otherwise have come across. But at greaterdepth, then I would have done in journalism which isthe other option. As a journalist you get to do that, youget to meet a huge range of people but as a journalistyou’re there for ten minutes interviewing a lm starbefore you’re shufed out of the hotel room or you’rethere for an hour or two with somebody … erm andthen you move onto the next story, which suits a lot ofpeople. But I do actually quite like the intense couple… two or three months of being in one person’s skinand erm I’ve found that … I’ve learnt a lot about otherpeople. 4  Ask students to discuss the question in pairs. Invitefeedback from one or two pairs, encouraging them to tellthe class the reasons for their answers. Grammar (SB page 19) 1 Copy the example from the grammar box on theboard. Check comprehension by asking: What is themain inormation in this sentence? (Kathy Etchinghambecame Jim Hendrix’s girlfriend). What is the background inormation? (Jimi Hendrix was just starting to becomefamous). Show the two actions visually with an arrow forthe action in progress and a dot for the completed action.  Jimi Hendrix was just starting to become amous when Kathy Etchingham became his girlriend.  Ask students if they can identify the names of the twotenses (past continuous and past simple). Ask students to mark the verbs in the other examples withan arrow or a dot in the same way and complete the rules.  Lives   & Legends        U       N       I       T 2 Lives & Legends Unit 2 19  Vocabulary and Pronunciation(SB page 19) 1  Tell students you saw a boring lm at the cinema. Write boring flm and  I was bored  on the board and point out the adjective endings. Say you went to see an amazinglm and elicit the word for how you felt (amazed). Ask students which ending we use to describe feelings ( -ed  ). Then ask students to work individually or in pairs andcomplete the table (see exercise 2 for answers). Take whole-class feedback. Use concept questions to check meaning. For example:  I somebody is a ascinating personwhat are they like? Are they interesting or boring? 2   1.15 Say   ascinating, emphasising the stressed rst syllable. Ask students to listen to the other words in thetable and underline the stressed syllable. Check that students have heard the correct stress. Play the track againand ask students to repeat the words, paying attention tothe stress. fascinating fascinatedconfusing confusedinspiring inspiredshocking shockedembarrassing embarrasseddisappointing disappointed 3 Direct students attention to the example. Ask themto write six similar sentences about their lives using theadjectives in exercise 1. Give students enough time tothink of ideas. Ask students to swap sentences with apartner and read their partner’s work.  Writing (SB page 19) 1  Tell students to choose one of their sentences from Vocabulary exercise 3 and tell their partner more about  what happened ( where , when , why , how ). Alternatively if students have read each other’s work, tellthe partner to pick the event they would like to learnmore about. The partner takes notes. Then the pairs swaproles. You might like to give each student a time limit forthis. 2 Students ‘ghost’ their partner’s experience by writingabout it in their voice, starting with the structure given.Encourage students to use adjectives and adverbs to makethe paragraph sound as interesting as possible. 3 Students swap paragraphs and read their ghostedexperience. Ask students to give their partner feedback,focusing on factual correctness and how interesting it wasto read. In class feedback, invite one or two students torate their partner’s ghostwriting skills. Part 2  Vocabulary (SB page 20) 1  Ask students to look at the photos and say what sort of relationship (family, friends, colleagues) they think the people in the photos have with each other and why. Ask students if they think the people have a good or badrelationship and why.Read out the words in the task, modelling pronunciationand word stress (  great-grandather  , acquaintance ,  fancée ).In pairs students discuss the differences in the words,then discuss in full-class feedback. You can illustrate somerelationships on the board with a family tree or invitestudents to do this. Your  grandfathe r is the father of one of your parents. Your  great-grandfather  is the  grandfather  of one your parents. A  friend  is somebody you know well. An  acquaintance issomebody you don’t know very well. A  colleague is somebody you work with, in any position.

Language note The male form of ancée is ancé (this follows French spellingwhich distinguishes male and female forms. 2  Ask students to match the sentence halves so that the words in italics make common phrases. Do the rst sentence as an example. 1 e 2 c 3 f 4 b 5 a 6 d 3 Give students time to think up or write sentencesabout people they know. Then invite them to tell the classor a partner.
