British food best in the world

British restaurant that serves bacon and egg ice cream has been voted the best place in the world to eat in Restaurant magazine’s list of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants. The Fat Duck restaurant, which was runner-up last year, claimed the coveted top spot. Owner and head chef Heston Blumenthal opened his restaurant ten years ago and soon developed a reputation for highly experimental and unorthodox dishes. The menu includes leather, oak and tobacco chocolates, sardine on toast sorbet, snail porridge, and mousse dipped in liquid nitrogen. He is self-taught and has pioneered the art of “molecular gastronomy” - experiments with chemistry, physics, food and flavour that result in unique and unusual taste combinations. Nearly 600 international restaurant owners, chefs and journalists participated in the poll to rank the best restaurants worldwide. A further thirteen British restaurants made it onto the elite eateries list, four in the top ten. This gives the home of fish and chips an unusual reputation as a culinary paradise. Britain is infamous for its bland and uninspiring food, which is scoffed at by the more sophisticated palates of its French neighbours. However, it seems the tide is turning: France had only eight restaurants in the top fifty and London was named in March by Gourmet magazine as the Gourmet Capital of the World. Ella Johnston, editor of Restaurant magazine, said British people are now “becoming more adventurous eaters”.

B. VOCABULARY

All About America

READ THE PASSAGE CAREFULLY American Customs

merica is well-known for its equality, liberty, fraternity. Everyone is very friendly and informal. Children often call their parents by their first names and at work, subordinates do not normally use “Mister” when addressing their supervisors. To those visitors who come from a more rigid and stratified society, such casualness can be confusing, leading to egregious blunders. Conversely, many worldly, sophisticated Americans appear mortified because they feel America is not “civilized,” with a capital “C.” However, we know of terribly embarrassing incidents from mistakes which only an innocent foreigner would have made. Public displays of afection between the sexes are very common, unlike perhaps where you have come from. In many cities, especially San Francisco, homosexuality is an accepted way of life. You may therefore see men being afectionate with men and women with women. If you disapprove of homosexuals because of your religious or cultural beliefs, please keep it to yourself. You might even find yourself a guest in a gay person’s home-and might become shocked to realize that your host is a normal human being like any other and that you are actually enjoying his hospitality. Many couples also live together without being married-and may never marry. But you must realize their bond is probably as strong as the bond of marriage. So don’t think one of them is available for a “date.” America is a notoriously “open” society, and to most foreigners Americans often appear exceptionally and “instantly” friendly. But sometimes such openness can lead to serious misunderstanding, especially between men and women. A casual invitation to have drinks and/or dinner does not mean that your American host also wants to become “intimate” with you afterwards. So be careful not to read too much into a friendly invitation.

HURRICANES AND TORNADOES

wo of the most dangerous storms which afflict America are hurricanes and tornadoes. They are very much feared by anyone who may live in the path of their destruction and cause millions of dollars worth of damage to life and property every year. Hurricanes which usually develop between July and October are similar to cyclones and originate over the waters in the Caribbean Sea. They move upwards hitting the mainland of America somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean. Once they hit land they carry tremendous power with driving rain and wind. These winds can attain speeds of over 75 mph. And cover an area of over 500 miles in diameter. At the center of the storm there is an â&#x20AC;&#x153;eyeâ&#x20AC;? with relatively fair weather and warm, dry air aloft. The diameter of the eye is usually about 32 kilometers. When the eye passes the relief is only temporary but soon the wind and rain will suddenly reappear from the opposite direction. Every year homes are destroyed by their fury and often lives are lost. Most people who live near the coast are forced to evacuate their homes and to move to safer areas until the storm passes. Floods are caused along the coasts by both the heavy rain and a storm tide that is considerably above normal water level. The high winds, coastal flooding and torrential rains associated with a hurricane cause enormous damage. People living in the wake of a storm are given ample warning to protect their homes. Flashlights or candles are be prepared in case of electric-power failures and plenty of fresh water should be saved as precautions against the pollution of water supplies by flooding. If one should travel inland across the Great Plains and the prairie states of America, one will most likely not encounter a hurricane, but there is another kind of storm in the Midwest which is equally feared. It is called a tornado. Tornadoes are violent low-pressured storms with an intense updraft near their center which is capable of lifting quite heavy objects from the ground. A tornado, therefore, is a dark, funnel-shaped cloud containing violently rotating air. It can pick up trees and cars right into the air and even uplift heavier objects such as homes and railway cars. Like a vacuum cleaner across a rug, it sucks up into the air anything which may lie in its path. These storms occur most often during the summer months and are noticeable by their strong wind and lack of rain. The sky turns black as dust is sucked up into the air. Tornadoes travel normally at around 60 kilometers per hour and the winds can reach 800

Natural Disasters

kilometers per hours in the most violent storms. Tornadoes are most frequent in the United States east of the Rocky Mountains and especially in the central plains area of the Mississippi basin where about 150 occur each year. Tornadoes may also strike the southern states in winter and have even been known to develop in the northeast. Both hurricanes and tornadoes cause millions of dollars worth of damage each year. Today they can be predicted more easily than in the past, but they cannot be stopped or ignored. When they come they must be endured with the hope that one survives their fury and wrath.

What is a Paragraph?

A paragraph is a group of sentences that convey an idea. Each sentence works together as part of a unit to create an overall thought or impression. A paragraph is the smallest unit or cluster of sentences in which one idea can be developed adequately. Paragraphs can stand alone or function as part of an essay, but each paragraph covers only one main idea. The most important sentence in your paragraph is the topic sentence, which clearly states the subject of the whole paragraph. The topic sentence is usually the first sentence of the paragraph because it gives an overview of the sentences to follow. The supporting sentences after the topic sentence help to develop the main idea. These sentences give specific details related to the topic sentence. A final or concluding sentence often restates or summarizes the main idea of the topic sentence. A good paragraph has:

o o

A topic sentence stating the main point of the paragraph, Supporting sentences with details and specific examples as proof of your point.

Read the passage and answer the questions!

The Death Car t was a cold night in September. The rain was drumming on the car roof as George and Marie Winston drove through the empty country roads towards the house of their friends, the Harrisons, where they were going to attend a party to celebrate the engagement of the Harrisons’ daughter, Lisa. As they drove, they listened to the local radio station, which was playing classical music. They were about five miles from their destination when the music on the radio was interrupted by a news announcement: “The Cheshire police have issued a serious warning after a man escaped from Colford Mental Hospital earlier this evening. The man, John Downey, is a murderer who killed six people before he was captured two years ago. He is described as large, very strong and extremely dangerous. People in the Cheshire area are warned to keep their doors and windows locked, and to call the police immediately if they see anyone acting strangely.” Marie shivered. “A crazy killer. And he’s out there somewhere. That’s scary.” “Don’t worry about it,” said her husband. “We’re nearly there now. Anyway, we have more important things to worry about. This car is losing power for some reason -- it must be that old problem with the carburetor. If it gets any worse, we’ll have to stay at the Harrisons’ tonight and get it fixed before we travel back tomorrow.” As he spoke, the car began to slow down. George pressed the accelerator, but the engine only coughed. Finally they rolled to a halt, as the engine died completely. Just as they stopped, George pulled the car off the road, and it came to rest under a large tree. “Blast!” said George angrily. “Now we’ll have to walk in the rain.” “But that’ll take us an hour at least,” said Marie. “And I have my high-heeled shoes and my nice clothes on. They’ll be ruined!” “Well, you’ll have to wait while I run to the nearest house and call the Harrisons. Someone can come out and pick us up,” said George. “But George! Have you forgotten what the radio said? There’s a homicidal maniac out there! You can’t leave me alone here!” “You’ll have to hide in the back of the car. Lock all the doors and lie on the floor in the back, under this blanket. No-one will see you. When I come back, I’ll knock three times on the door. Then you can get up and open it. Don’t open it unless you hear three knocks.” George opened the door and slipped out into the rain. He quickly disappeared into the blackness. Marie quickly locked the doors and settled down under the blanket in the back for a long wait. She was frightened and worried, but she was a strong-minded woman. She had not been waiting long, however, when she heard a strange scratching noise. It seemed to be coming from the roof of the car. Marie was terrified. She listened, holding her breath. Then she heard three slow knocks, one after the other, also on the roof of the car. Was it her husband? Should she open the door? Then she heard another knock, and another. This was not her husband. It was somebody -- or something -else. She was shaking with fear, but she forced herself to lie still. The knocking continued -- bump, bump, bump, bump. Many hours later, as the sun rose, she was still lying there. She had not slept for a moment. The knocking had never stopped, all night long. She did not know what to do. Where was George? Why had he not come for her? Suddenly, she heard the sound of three or four vehicles, racing quickly down the road. All of them pulled up around her, their tires screeching on the road. At last! Someone had come! Marie sat up quickly and looked out of the window. The three vehicles were all police cars, and two still had their lights flashing. Several policemen leapt out. One of them rushed towards the car as Marie opened the door. He took her by the hand. “Get out of the car and walk with me to the police vehicle. miss. You’re safe now. Look straight ahead. Keep looking at the police car. Don’t look back. Just don’t look back.” Something in the way he spoke filled Marie with cold horror. She could not help herself. About ten yards from the police car, she stopped, turned and looked back at the empty vehicle. George was hanging from the tree above the car, a rope tied around his neck. As the wind blew his body back and forth, his feet were bumping gently on the roof of the car -- bump, bump, bump, bump.

BANJOS, HARMONICAS AND GUITARS

very country has its native instruments which capture the mood and spirit of its culture. For the Japanese it may be the koto and shamisen, for Indians it may be the sitar and vina. For Americans there are three instruments which reflect the mood of the country and can be called typically American ones although their origins, like most things American, may be elsewhere. The first of these instruments is the banjo a simple four stringed instrument. This stringed musical instrument originally came from Africa and was most probably brought over by the black slaves in the early nineteenth century. After working all day in the cotton fields the black slaves would relax in the evening under the shade of plantation trees and sing simple songs of their native lands. They would accompany themselves on simple banjos evocative of the spirit of their homelands. Later after the Civil War banjos were widely played in minstrel shows throughout the South featuring folk music and jazz ensembles. It has a crude sound when plucked and, although it resembles the guitar, its sound was not as mellow and its range was not as wide. Yet, when played well, it creates a distinct atmosphere which evokes the feeling of life on the early American plantation. The second instrument associated with America is the harmonica. Sometimes called a mouth organ it is a simple reed instrument which can easily be held in one hand. Originally the first harmonicas were made in Germany, but the early pioneers brought this instrument with them from their homeland when they came to America. They would play in the evenings while passing the night under the stars. On the lonely prairie after a long dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work the sound of the harmonica is especially melancholic. If the banjo has a jittery sound, then the harmonica has a distinctly melancholic one. It is the sound of a sad, nostalgic lament. It is the sound of someone yearning for his home or wanting to return to the lost experiences of happier days. When properly played it captures the mood of the vast frontier especially in the west where the cult of the cowboy dominated the wilderness. The third instrument associated with America is the guitar. Originally it is an instrument of European origin, most likely from Spain. Yet, the guitar also played an important part in the American frontier. After a hard dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work rounding up and branding cattle, cowboys would sit around an open campfire and sing songs of love and nature while strumming on the guitar. Today the banjo and harmonica may not be as popular as they once were but the guitar is still very much alive. The revival of folk music back in the 1960s brought guitars to college campuses and there is hardly a rock band today which does not feature an electrical guitarist as part of the ensemble.

Simple Sentence

Simple sentence can be very short, consisting of only one word (a noun) for the subject and one word (a verb) for the predicate.

However, a simple sentence can also be very long, consisting a compound subject and a compound predicate.

This sentence is very long, but it is still a simple sentence. We can modify and stretch simple sentence by using compound subjects or compound predicates. Here are some examples:

A.Simple subject and simple predicate

Here the sentence has one simple subject (the boy) and one simple predicate (was staring).

B.Compound subject and simple predicate

Here the sentence has compound subjects (Koala, kangaroo, and emu) and one simple predicate (are).

C.Simple subject and compound predicate

Here the sentence has one simple subject (Henry Lau) and compound predicates (sings, dances, and plays).

Simple Sentence

D.Compound subject and compound predicates

Here the sentence has compound subjects (Berta, Marta, Lisa, Katie, and Mary) and compound predicates (made, grilled, and baked).

Rules and examples to help you make simple sentences. To make a sentence you need three things: 1. A sentence is a group of words that makes sense on its own. -

Cheese, car, house, table on Tuesday.

This isn’t a sentence - it doesn’t make sense. -

I parked my car next to my house.

This is a sentence. You can understand what it means. It makes sense on its own. 2. When you are writing you need to use the right sentence punctuation. Using punctuation will show the person who is reading your writing where the sentences begin and end.

• A sentence must begin with a capital letter. • A sentence must end with a full-stop (.), a question mark (?), or an exclamation mark (!).

BEWARE! Sometimes people confuse the punctuation to use at the end of a sentence. You can use commas (,), colons (:) or semicolons (;) in your writing, but they should never be used instead of a full-stop. 3. A sentence also needs two kinds of words in it:

• A sentence must have a VERB (a doing word). e.g. like, is, cooking, walked, need. • A sentence must also have a SUBJECT. This is the person, or the thing, that is doing the verb. e.g. I, Beppe, Tuesday, dog, you, table, the weather,.

Here are some examples of sentences that show you the verbs and the subjects: Last week Peggy redecorated the pub. Are you hungry yet? Martin, be quiet. Tuesday was very rainy and cold.

Simple Sentence

Other things to know about sentences: Sentences can be very short, or very long. There is no correct number of words that should be in a sentence. The length of the sentence depends on what you want to say and the effect you want to get. BEWARE! If your sentences go on for many lines, make sure that you haven’t really put several sentences together as one sentence. It’s important to remember that you don’t always need to write in sentences. For example, a shopping list doesn’t need sentences, but a job application does.

Exercise 1 Direction : Underline the subjects and circle the verbs in these simple sentences.

Example: Restaurants and banks usually open at 9.

1. Sally likes drinking juice in the morning. 2. Many people change their looks by having plastic surgery. 3. Tony speaks another language very well. 4. Tom and John play in a band called Guns’ and Roses. 5. Even in the middle of summer, Jan and her dog liked to stay outdoors all afternoon long. 6. He didn’t eat anything for dinner and drink anything at all that evening. 7. Danny washes and dries his hair before he goes to his office. 8. In the evening they stayed in the hotel and played cards. 9. James left school and then worked at Suzie’s. 10.Brazilian people are very friendly and love giving presents for their family.

Exercise 2 Directions: Look at the text below. Find 8 mistakes dealing with punctuation (. , ! ?), spelling, and irregular verbs.

Learn about compound sentence and the conjunctions Identify subject, verb, and conjunction in compound sentence Putting simple sentences into compound sentence using conjunction

Compound Sentence

A. How to put simple sentences together Constant use of short sentences can be a bit strange to read. To make your writing more interesting, you can use two other sorts of longer sentences. The simplest of these is the compound sentence.

B. How do I make a compound sentence?

When you have two or more short, independent, simple sentences which are of equal weight you can join them together using special words called conjunctions. e.g. ‘I hate curry.’ is a simple sentence. ‘I like Thai food.’ is also a simple sentence. You can put these together to make one, longer and more interesting compound sentence using a conjunction ‘I hate curry’ + but + ‘I like Thai food’ = ‘I hate curry, but I like Thai food.’

• Junctions join two or more roads together, so we use conjunctions to join two or more short sentences together • Commas are not conjunctions and they should never be used to join short sentences together (commas aren’t sticky, so you can’t use them to stick information together!). • These are the most common conjunctions :

and, as, but, or, so,for, nor, yet • Try to avoid using the same conjunction over and over again. It is much better to ‘mix and match’.

BEWARE! The conjunction that you use may change the meaning of your sentence! Conjunctions don’t just stick sentences together, they show the relationship between the pieces of information. e.g. Note the slightly different meaning in these sentences: I walked home. I was tired. I walked home and I was tired. I walked home as I was tired. I walked home but I was tired. I walked home so I was tired. I walked home or I was tired. The final sentence, using or doesn’t really make sense. You can’t use every conjunction everywhere - so choose wisely!

Exercise 1 Directions: Circle the connectors. Underline the subjects once and the verbs twice in the following sentences.Then decide if the sentence is compound (c) or single (s).

Example : Suzi likes to eat red jello and diced bananas.

1. I want to be rich and smart. 2. Anthony can have new shoes or a haircut. 3. Please help me with this laundry, or we’ll never finish on time. 4. I just put the cookies in the oven, so you’ll just have to wait. 5. We washed our muddy socks, and then we hung them out to dry. 6. Sally and Suzie went to the movies.

Compound Sentence

Exercise 2 Direction: Circle the conjunctions and decide if you need to add punctuation to the following sentences.

Example: Rebecca goes to Art College for she wants to be a dancer.

Rebecca goes to Art College, for she wants to be a dancer.

1. Mark always does his homework so he gets good grades. 2. Frenka loves cooking and gardening at the weekend. 3. I haven’t eaten caviar yet I have eaten lobster. 4. Melissa got an A on the test for she spent several hours studying. 5. You can use spoon or chopsticks to eat the noodles. 6. I like Chicken and I like pie also. 7. Sally went to the movies but Suzie stayed home.

Exercise 3 Directions: In the following exercises, turn the sentence pairs into single compound sentences, each with a coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so). You can arrange or add words in the sentences to make it sound better, but only if it’s necessary.

Example: My mother always brings us breakfast. She doesn’t want us to get sick.

My mother always brings us breakfast, for she doesn’t want us to get sick.

1. The black dog has won many prizes. He doesn’t know many tricks. 2. I wanted to buy a baby Chihuahua. I started to save my money. 3. There was a meteor shower. The crew did not know how to avoid the meteors. 4. Pam liked Wayne. Leena also liked Wayne. 5. Let’s go to the swimming pool. It’s hot inside the house. 6. I don’t do my homework. My parents punished me. 7. I don’t want to eat. I don’t want to drink.

Complex Sentence

Complex Sentence Complex sentences: Constant use of short sentences can be a bit strange to read. To make your writing more interesting, you can use two other sorts of longer sentences. Factsheet 1 looked at ‘compound’ sentences. This factsheet looks at ‘complex’ sentence.

A. How do I make a complex sentence?

When you make a compound sentence you are joining two or more simple sentences together with a conjunction. If you took the conjunction away, the sentences would be complete and they would still make sense. e.g. ‘I hate curry, but I like Thai food.’= ‘I hate curry’ + but + ‘I like Thai food’ This isn’t the same for complex sentences. Complex sentences don’t just divide into neat, complete, simple sentences if you take out the conjunctions. In complex sentences the conjunction is used to join together clauses. A clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb. Some of these clauses might be complete short sentences, but in a complex sentence at least one of them will depend on the conjunction for its meaning. In other words, if you take the conjunction away, the sentence won’t divide into complete units that make sense by themselves. e.g. ‘The dinner was burned because she had forgotten it.’ = ‘The dinner was burned’ + ‘because’ + ‘she had forgotten it.’ This is a complex sentence:

•‘The dinner was burned’ = complete, short sentence •‘because’ = conjunction (joining word) •‘she had forgotten it’ = subordinate clause. This doesn’t make sense on its own. What had she forgotten? This is called a ‘subordinate clause’ because without the rest of the sentence it doesn’t really make sense.

‘Although I’m not very good, I really enjoy playing football.’ = ‘Although’ + ‘I’m not very good’ + ‘I really enjoy playing football.’ Again, this is a complex sentence:

•‘Although’ = conjunction (joining word). Yes, sometimes conjunctions can appear at the beginning of a sentence! •‘I’m not very good’ = subordinate clause. This doesn’t make sense on its own. What are you not very good at? This is called a ‘subordinate clause’ because without the rest of the sentence it doesn’t really make sense. •‘I enjoy playing football’ = complete short sentence

BEWARE! As for compound sentences, commas are not conjunctions and they should never be used to join short sentences or clauses together (commas aren’t sticky, so you can’t use them to stick information together!). e.g. ‘The dinner was burned, she had forgotten it.’ = incorrect ‘The dinner was burned because she had forgotten it.’ = correct

Complex Sentence

B. Subordinating Conjunctions Subordinating conjunctions are used to join a dependent clause (incomplete thought) to an independent clause. Common Subordinating Conjunctions after even if that before even though unless once if until although if only when as in order to whenever as if now that where as long as rather than whereas as though since wherever because so that while still than

Exercise 1 Directions: Circle the connectors in each sentence. Underline the clauses and mark them either as main clause (MC) or subordinate clause (SC). Put a comma before the main clause if the subordinate clause comes at the beginning of the sentence.

Example: When Mary is angry her face turns red.

When Mary is angry , her face turns red. SC MC 1. Before I eat I usually wash my hands. 2. I usually wash my hands before I eat. 3. Even though we come from a large family we are very close to each other. 4. We are very close to each other even though we come from a large family. 5. If I don’t see you at school today, I’ll call you tonight. 6. I’ll call you tonight if I don’t see you at school today.

Exercise 2 Directions: Circle the connectors in each sentence and mark it either as compound (C) or complex (X) sentence.

Example : Byuri usually goes to school after she brushes her teeth. (X)

1. I’m not leaving before you say you’re sorry. 2. Henry got a new job, so he has to move. 3. I know you love me for I have money and perfect teeth. 4. If you finish eating your vegetables, you may eat cake. 5. I have fished in Colorado River but I have never caught a fish there. 6. We will start the work when the sun rises. 7. I’m going to go even though my parents say I can’t

Complex Sentence

C. Skillwise Grammar : Putting sentences together worksheet 1 Choose the best conjunction (joining word) from the list below to join together the following short sentences. Only use each conjunction once and watch out for meaning! where, before, after, until, since, when, whenever while, although, though, wether E.g. I like to swim before I eat breakfast. I like to swim before I eat breakfast. 1. It was definitely this shop. I lost my bankcard. 2. He was always very quiet. His sister was the opposite. 3. You set out the parts. I’m trying to work out the instructions. 4. I will not sing tonight. My agent checks the contract. 5. We will still have a picnic. The weather’s good or bad. 6. We go for a lot of walks. The weather is good. Grammar : Putting sentences tohether worksheet 2 It is very bad practice in English to join whole sentences together using commas. This is very common mistake and it’s called ‘comma spilicing’ All the following sentences have used commas in correctly. Re-write each sentences using a conjunction (joining word). Only use each conjunction once. 1. The table soon fell apart, the screws that they had used were far too short! 2. The man had stopped shouting, he was still extremely angry. 3. Three long months passed , still there was no sign of rain. 4. My presentation seemed to go well , I was feeling really nervous. 5. Do you want to use the main oven later, can I switch it off now? 6.I just don’t care , he leaves me and our relationship is over! 7. He looks so old and frail, he has been ill. 8. The beacon mark the spot, the ship sank without warning. 9. James turned red with embarrassment , It was his turn to speak. 10.

Joining Ideas

A. When things go wrong... Are you having a bad week ? Sean Davis “Actually, yes. I was going to work on the train Monday morning, and I was talking to this woman. I guess i wasn’t paying attention, and I missed my stop. I was half an hour late for a meeting with my new boss. ” Julia Chen “ Oh, definitely! A friend of mine accidentally deleted all my music files yesterday when she was using my computer. I tried for hours to find them, but nothing worked I lost everything! “ Roberto Moreno “ Yeah, kind of . A couple of days ago, a friend and I were trying to look cool in front of some girls at the mall. We weren’t looking, and we walked right into a glass door. I was so embrassed.”

1. Getting Started

A. Listen and read. Why is each person having a bad week?

B. Can you choose the correct verb forms in these sentences? Use the information above to help you. Then compare with a partner.

1. Sean talked / was talking to a woman on the train, and he missed / was missing his stop. 2. Julia’s friend deleted / was deleting her files when she used / was using Julia’s computer. 3. Roberto and his friend tried / were trying to look cool when they walked / were walking into a glass door.

Joining Ideas

2. Grammar

Past continuous statements

Use the past continuous to set the background for a story or tell about events in progress in the past. Use the simple past for completed actions in the past.

I was talking to a woman, and I missed my stop. I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t paying attention. We were trying to look cool, and we walked into a glass door. We werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t looking.

A friend of mine deleted all my files when she was using my computer. When my friend was using my computer, she deleted all my files. In conversation . . .

The most common verbs in the past continuous are talk, do, go, say, try, get and tell.

A. Complete the anecdotes with the past continuous or simple past. 1. A few weeks ago, when I was making (make) dinner, my friend (call). I completely (forget) about the food on the stove, and I (burn) everything! 2. I (damage) my parents car last week. I (drive) to work, and I (run) into a stop sign. Now I have to pay for the repairs. 3. Last week, I (hurt) my foot when I (do) aerobics. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why, but I just (fall). I felt so stupid. 4. I (have) lunch in a restaurant yesterday when the server accidentally (spill) water all over me! It was embarrasing, but then I (get) my lunch for free. 5. My friend and I (talk) in class, and we (not pay) attention. Suddenly we realized the teacher (stand) right beside us. He and the whole class (listen) to us!

B. Pair work Choose one of the anecdotes above, and retell it to a partner. Try not to look at the text.

Joining Ideas

B. The important joining words Factsheets 1 and 2 told you about making more interesting sentences by using compound and complex sentences. For both of these, you need a good selection of conjunctions, or joining words. The ‘magnificent seven’ conjunctions (the most commonly used) are: and, although, as, because, but, if, or There are a number of other important conjunctions that you can use. These can be put into categories of time, place, or agreement. TIME = before, after, until, since, when, whenever, while e.g. We all went home before a fight broke out. She went to bed after she put the cat out. There will be no peace until somebody says that they are sorry. It has not been the same around here since our friends moved away. They put the television off when the programme had finished. He washes his new car whenever it gets mucky. The children go to the crèche while Mum goes to work.

PLACE = where

e.g. Remember that restaurant where you ate a huge steak.

AGREEMENT = though, although, whether

e.g. He could play the violin though he was only five years old. I would invite you to come in although the place is a mess. It was a great show whether you wanted to join in or just watch. Remember! • Try to avoid using the same conjunction over and over again. It is much better to ‘mix and match’. • The conjunction you use can change the meaning of the sentence. You can’t use every conjunction everywhere - so choose wisely!

C. Exercise Grammar : Putting sentences together worksheet 2 Choose the best conjunction (joining word) from the list below to join together the following short s sentences. Use a variety of conjunctions and watch out for meaning!

Where, before, after, until, since, when, whenever, while, although, though, whether, as

E.g. I want to go to the cinema. I am quite tired. I want to go to the cinema, although I am quite tired.

Joining Ideas 1. He checked that the road was clear. He drove away. 2. It was extremely dark. The lights were switched off. 3. I can’t be certain. We may change our plans if the weather is good. 4. The girls were eating burgers. We saw them at lunchtime. 5. I thought that he was the thief. I can’t really be sure. 6. They have been much happier. They won the lottery last year.

Direction: Read the passage below. Underline and identify the type of the sentences either as simple, compound, or complex sentences. Circle the connectors for compound and complex sentences. Example: Roberto Moreno “ Yeah, kind of . A couple of days ago, afriend and I were trying to look cool in front of some girls at the mall. We weren’t looking, and we walked right into a glass door. I was so embrassed.”

Don’t be boring. Don’t you just say, “Yes” or “ No” When you answer a question. Give some interesting information, too.

Don’t talk all the times. Ask, “How about you are interested in the other you?” and show person, too. People love to talk about them selves! GE3-SL-Class Meeting 1
