Yes, I am. You’re wrong. I don’t feel happy at all!

These are all definitions of the word ‘drama’. Which one do you think is the best? Why? • An exciting, emotional or unexpected circumstance. • The excitement and energy that is created by a lot of action and arguments. • A way of relating to the world in which a person consistently overreacts to or greatly exaggerates the importance of events. Typically, 'drama' is used by people who are chronically bored or those who seek attention. People who engage in 'drama' will usually attempt to drag other people into their dramatic state, as a way of gaining attention or making their own lives more exciting. • Turning an easy situation into a difficult one. • Something women are very good at.

Cristina: 'You have a feeling?' Meredith: 'Yes.' Cristina: 'Okay, what kind of feeling?' Meredith: 'Like I might die.' Cristina: 'Today? Tomorrow? In 50 years? We're all going to die eventually. Now we're late! Let's go!' Meredith: 'Cristina. C'mon!' Cristina: 'This is me being supportive.' Meredith: 'Really?' Cristina: 'Yeah, fine, I'm totally supportive. Go.' Meredith: 'Okay. The man I love has a wife and then he chooses her over me. And that wife takes my dog - okay, she didn't take the dog, I gave it to her, but I didn't mean to give it to her, I meant to give it to him - but that does not change the fact that she's got my McDreamy. And my McDog. She's got my McLife! And what have I got? You know, I can't remember the last time we kissed. 'Cause you never think the last time is the last time, you think there'll be more. You think you have forever, but you don't. Plus my conditioner decided to stop working and I think I have brittle bones. I just - I just need something to happen. I need a sign that things are gonna change. I need a reason to go on. I need some hope. And in the absence of hope, I need to stay in bed and feel like I might die today.' Cristina: (throws back blanket) 'Whatever - everybody has problems. Now get your ass out of bed and get to work. NOW! Move! Move! Move!' (opens the door to find Izzie and George) 'We're good to go.'

Read the joke. Mark the verb forms that refer to the future. What’s the difference between them? One day a man and his wife were walking down the street when they came across a penguin. 'Oh!' exclaimed the man. 'What a surprise! What shall we do with it?' 'I know', said his wife. 'We’ll ask a policeman.' So they found a policeman and explained what had happened. 'Mmm', said the policeman,'I think the best thing is to take it to the zoo.' 'What a good idea!' said the woman. 'We’ll go there straight away.' The next morning the policeman was walking down the same street when he saw the couple again with the penguin. 'I thought I told you to take that penguin to the zoo', said the policeman. 'Well, we did', said the man. 'We took it to the zoo and we all had a really good time. So this afternoon, we’re taking it to the cinema and this evening we’re going to have a meal in a fish restaurant.'

4. Mouth gymnastics Alliterations Alliteration is the repetition of the first sound or sounds in two or more stressed words that follow each other. It adds interest and is therefore often used in titles and poetry.

Listen to the following poem, then read it out loud yourself.

"Betty’s Room" – Denise Rodgers There is no clutter cluttered up more closely, I presume, than the clutter clustered clingingly in my friend, Betty’s room.

Old ballet shoes she cannot lose, and photos of her friends, a burnt-out fuse, some fruity chews, a box of odds and ends.

Her mother mutters mawkishly and fills her with such dread. She mutters on about the muss that messes Betty’s bed.

Old magazines and school reports (the ones that got the A’s), her worn out jeans, some socks to sort, the programs from three plays.

At bedtime, Betty bounces all her objects to the floor. Each morning, when she wakes up, they go on her bed once more.

Each object is an artifact, a personal antique. She cannot bear to throw them out; they make her life unique.

There’s papers, pencils, potpourri. It piques her mother’s stress. She pouts. She plies and yet her cries do not clean Betty’s mess.

There’s feathers, fans, and fairy dolls and mother-daughter strife. Her mother lives for neatness, but, well, mess is Betty’s life.

There’s partly broken plastic toys, each with a missing part, some worn and withered whistles, which are close to Betty’s heart.

4 Because it adds interest, alliteration is also found in many works of literature. Here you can find some examples from Shakespeare’s "Romeo and Juliet". Listen and repeat. Underline the alliterations.

• • • • • • • • •

'From forth the fatal loins of these two foes; A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life.' 'Now old desire doth in his death-bed lie …' 'The day to cheer and night’s dank dew to dry …' 'If e’er thou wast thyself, and these woes thine, Thou and these woes were all for Rosaline.' 'The very pin of his heart cleft with the blind bow-boy’s butt-shaft: and is he a man to encounter Tybalt?' 'Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds Towards Phoebus’ lodging!' 'As Phaethon would whip you to the west …' 'I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins, That almost freezes up the heat of life.' 'When griping grief the heart doth wound, And doleful dumps the mind oppress …'

Discuss the use of the present continuous in the cartoon.

5. The basics I’d love to come, but I am playing tennis then Present continuous with future meaning The present continuous can express a future arrangement between people. It is common with verbs such as to go, to come, to see, to visit, to meet and to leave. Suzy and James are coming for dinner. ! Sometimes there is little or no difference between a future intention and a future arrangement. We’re going to see a movie tonight. We are seeing a movie tonight.
