Pupil's Book, Unit 3 page 36 2 Listen and name the instruments. 1 [sound of a violin] 2 [sound of a piano] 3 [sound of a guitar] 4 [sound of a drum] 3 Listen and read. Then order the photos from the oldest instrument (1) to the most modern (4). The guitar is one of the most popular musical instruments in the world. Many different cultures have played instruments like the guitar for over 3, 000 years. The oldest instrument that we can see today comes from Ancient Egypt. You can see this guitar in a museum in Cairo. It belonged to a singer who sang for the Egyptian queen Hatshepsut. This type ofguitar had a long neck and only three strings. The lute is also an ancient instrument similar to a guitar, but it has a short neck and a body like half a pear. It usually had more strings than a guitar and they were in pairs. From 1100-1500, travelling singers and story tellers played the lute to accompany their songs. Guitars sometimes had pairs of strings like the lute, but the guitar changed over time to use single strings. People used guitars with six single strings for the first time in the 1600s in ltaly, but the most important change happened in the 1850s. The Spanish guitar maker Antonio Torres Jurado made the guitar's body bigger. His idea made the sound of the guitar louder and better. Most of today's classical guitars follow his design. The first electric guitars appeared in the 1930s. The electric guitar has a solid body and can make many different sounds. We also find them in many different shapes and sizes. Some electric guitars don't look like guitars at all! Pupil's Book, Unit 3 page 37 5 Listen to Liliana talking about music at the Rio Carnival. Read and choose the correct words. Carival in Brazil is one of the biggest parties in the world. The dates change every year, but it's usually in February or March. Carnival is everywhere in Brazil, but the biggest party is in Rio de Janeiro. Millions of people come here for that. There's music everywhere, especially in the city streets. There are parades with amazing floats where the dancers wear fantastic costumes. The streets are full of people dancing to samba music. Samba's a kind of music that came to Brazil from Africa. It's great dance music! We play it on guitars and small Brazilian drums called tamborims. My dad plays a tamborim in a samba band. And this is his samba band!
Pupil's Book, Unit 3 page 38 THE LOCAL FOOTBALL HERO My name is Rebeca and I'm 11. I'm from beautiful Brazil! But my family live in a poor area, and life isn't easy. My parents work hard so my brother and 1 can go to school, and we always come straight home after school to help with the housework. But I have a passion . . . football! And I want to tell you how football has changed my life. My dad wanted my big brother to be a professional football player, but he didn't like training. I loved football and when I played I felt happy and 1 forgot about everything around me. My mum said, 'Football isn't for girls. ' The boys at school didn't want to play with a girl either, but when they saw I was good, they picked me for their team. One day a teacher told me about a football team just for girls. They were amazing. They told me that they were preparing for a competition in March. I really wanted to be part of the team and I decided to try my hardest. When I told my dad and brother, they were very happy. My mum still didn't like the idea. 'It isn't going to be easy for you because football is a boy's sport, ' she said. But she said nothing after that, and my dad and brother trained with me every day for six months. Finally, in February the coach told us which players were in the team for the competition. When I heard my name, I jumped in the air and I screamed with excitement. Our team travelled to Rio de Janeiro in March and we won the competition - it was amazing! Since then we've won a lot more matches, but more importantly, I've made lots of new friends and I've become more confident about myself. When I get older, I want to be a professional football player. Lots of my football idols have learnt English. For me, it's important to speak English just like them and study hard so l can travel round the world and talk to people from different countries. That's now my biggest dream in life.

And it makes a really loud sound when you hit it! 4 Listen and match a picture A-D with each word in Activity 1. Where was Aunt Helen when she got each of these things? You've got some interesting things, Aunt Helen! You wrote your name in this puzzle book when you were quite young. Where did you get it? Well, I was on holiday with my parents. We were at the beach during the day, but one evening we went to the theatre. I had to go on stage and help the actors. It was scary, but I loved it and they gave me the puzzle book at the end. And where did you first see this drum? Oh, Uncle Michael and I went to Kenya about ten years ago and I bought it in the shop at the hotel. It's a lovely instrument. And it makes a really loud sound when you hit it! Can I try it later? Yes, sure! Have you got any other instruments? Ah yes, come and look at this violin. My dad, your grandpa, loves football and one day we went to a match with his friend. He's a rock musician and he usually plays the guitar, but he played the violin when he was younger. He took it to the stadium and gave it to me! So you kept it? Yes! I love it, but I don't know how to play it. It's too difficult!
