LOOKING AT LANGUAGE: PREPOSITIONS OF TIME
A preposition is a word which expresses a relation to another word or phrase in a clause. u
EXAMPLE:
The Titanic left Southampton on the 10 th of April. At 11.40 p.m. the Titanic hit an iceberg.
Prepositions of time generally follow a pattern, though there are exceptions. The best way to pick them up is to read as much as possible in English, listen to English music and watch English language films. Also, avoid translating from your own language where the prepositions may be different. Here are four common prepositions of time. rule
example
on
days of the week
u on Saturday
dates
u on October the 7th
special days
u on New Year’s Eve
in
times of the day
u in the afternoon
months, seasons
u in January, in summer
years, centuries
u in 2018, in the 17th century
at
expressions of time
u at 9 o’clock
special events
u at Christmas
for
periods of time
u for three weeks
u for ages
Add the correct preposition of time to the following sentences. 1. I like to go skiing .............................................. February. 2. Last year I stayed in Scotland .............................................. a month. 3. We’re playing in the cup final .............................................. Saturday! 4. What are you doing .............................................. Easter? 5. The Titanic sank .............................................. the twentieth century. 6. What were you doing .............................................. seven o’clock this morning? 7. My baby brother normally sleeps .............................................. the afternoon. 8. My birthday is .............................................. March the 13th. 9. We normally take a long holiday .............................................. summer. 10. I worked on these exercises .............................................. three minutes. 70

Listen and decide what the people in the dialogues are talking about by choosing a suitable newspaper headline. There are sixteen alternatives to choose from. Mark your answer by putting the number for each of the dialogues in the correct box. The first one has already been done for you.
TIME TO WRITE: A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE
You read examples of newspaper articles. Now write your own article. It can be something personal, local, national or international and it doesn’t have to be true. You might like to consider a natural disaster, a new invention, a music event, a story of local interest etc. It should include: u a main title u a subheading u a body of text divided into paragraphs which have a small heading u a personal quote from someone TIME FOR RESEARCH: DIGGING DEEPER
The news of universal suffrage was very big in Britain but did it make the news in America or Australia? Look how the five stories you read about were presented in other countries. Can you find reports of the Titanic sinking in newspapers in South Africa? (How) did American newspapers report the release of Nelson Mandela? Pick one of the stories to focus on and dig a little deeper. Questions to have in mind: D o n’ u Are different facts presented in different reports? u Are the same facts presented in different ways?
t fo to m a rg e t n o te ke a of so u r c y o u r es .
u Why does the same piece of news differ from one country to another?
Be ready to discuss your findings with your classmates. … AND ACTION: IN THE NEWS
Write a short sketch in which you and your classmates play a role in one of the major stories of the last 150 years. You can choose one from the stories you read about or it can be another story. Don’t make it too obvious what the event is. Can you classmates work it out?

LISTEN UP: IS IT REAL NEWS?
You will hear six snippets from a conversation between a conspiracy theorist and a scientist discussing some ideas. Read the summary of ten different conspiracy theories, then listen to the snippets and decide which conspiracy theory they were talking about. As you listen, write the snippet letter next to the conspiracy theory. You only need to write six letters so four of the boxes will remain blank.

1
The government is dropping unknown substances on its own people – purpose unknown.
2
A famous popstar died many years ago – and was replaced by someone who looked like him and sang like him.

In ‘Listen Up’ you learnt about some conspiracy theories. Now it is time to dig deeper. Choose one of the theories that interests you and try to find out:
SPEAK OUT: BUT I THINK …
A lot of people believe in conspiracy theories. What should the attitude of the rest of society be? In groups discuss: u conspiracy theories that you know about u how conspiracy theorists promote their ideas u what effect such promotion has on other people u if their actions should, in any way, be censored
Make a note of your discussions and be ready to present your ideas to the rest of the class.
TIME TO WRITE: A FORMAL LETTER
Write a letter to Steve Cannon. You should write either: u A letter telling him how much you agree with him and thanking him for opening your eyes
to the truth. You should also explain what it was that convinced you that he is right. u A letting telling him that, having looked at all the evidence, you consider that he is wrong. Explain your reasoning and perhaps give him a few URLs to check out.
In either case, be courteous! … AND ACTION: DRAMATIC CONSPIRACY
In small groups, act out one of the conspiracy theories you heard about in ‘Listen Up’. For example, you could arrest someone for a crime thanks to an identification chip, or you could wear masks to protect yourselves from the ‘dangerous’ chem trails. The choice is yours. 76

TIME TO WRITE: FAKE NEWS
How easy is it to trick someone into believing that a piece of news is true? Let’s find out. u Write two news stories, similar to the ones you heard about in ‘Listen Up’. One should
be based on real facts that you have researched from reliable sources, one should be completely made up. u Write between 100 and 150 words for each story. u Once you have finished, pass the stories to your classmates. Can they work out which one is the real story and which one is fake news?

TIME TO WRITE: A POLICE REPORT
Write a police report based on one of the stories in the texts. You can choose to base your report either soon after the discovery of the fairies, surgeon’s photo, spaghetti trees etc., or based on when the various stories were found not to be true. You can either do some research to find out more information or you can, for the sake of this exercise, use your imagination. Some tips for writing a good police report: u Keep your language and your writing style simple. Long sentences could lead to u u u u
misunderstandings. Don’t overuse pronouns – if many people are involved there is no problem in repeating names. Stick to observable facts rather than your own opinion. Avoid the passive voice (say ‘Frances and Elsie took photographs’ rather than ‘Photographs were taken’). Use bullet points if there is a list of items.
TIME FOR RESEARCH: THE UNBELIEVABLE TRUTH
There is a popular radio programme in the UK called The Unbelievable Truth in which four people talk about a subject for about two minutes. Everything they say should be a lie except for five things which are true. To show you how it works your teacher will read out a text full of things which are not true except for five things that are true and will explain how the points system works. Prepare yourself to play the game with your classmates. You should: D o n’ u choose a topic that interests you u find out some obscure things that your classmates probably won’t know
t fo to m a rg e t n o te ke a of so u r c y o u r es .
u make up some funny things about your subject which are not true. Finally
write down your speech and practise performing it. Time yourself so that you can talk for two minutes. Be prepared to be interrupted! … AND ACTION: SHOW TIME!
In groups it’s now time to play The Unbelievable Truth. u One person should introduce the show and count the points. u One person at a time should read their speech. u The others in the group should listen carefully and shout “stop” if they think the
person said something that is true. 84

LOOKING AT LANGUAGE: PREPOSITIONS CONNECTED TO VERBS
There are many expressions in English that use a verb followed by a preposition. The idea is based on the personalisation of the internet. They might look at the environmental story later. You’re not interested in environmental disasters in India. The things that you are exposed to will reflect your political views. u
EXAMPLES:
There are very many “verb+preposition phrases” in English. The best way to learn them is by reading as much as possible in English. Here are some fairly common ones. about at for complain arrive apologise forget laugh apply hear look care laugh shout leave worry smile look talk stare wait
