 The verb to be is used in past like was or were.

 He wasn´t a doctor in the war. can use contractions between was
 Where were you last night? or were + not.

BLACK ROSE HAS LOST ALL OF ITS PETALS

13
Black rose is our college’s biggest band right now. Jody, Ed,
Frank and Fliss got together at college in 2003. Since then,
they’ve done four tours of the south west and they’ve released
two CDs on the college label. They’ve had three tracks played
in the national radios. They’ve just finished a tour at the Swan
theatre, the football ground and the Nag’s head pub in town.
On the day before the last gig, we talked to lead singer, Jody.
Interviewer: Has the tour gone well?

Jody: It’s been great the fans have been amazing. They’ve liked
our new songs as well as the old ones.
Interviewer: the band has created its own sound over the last
five years, hasn’t it? Jody: Yeah: we’ve worked hard on our
music- we want to be unique.
Interviewer: have sales of the new album been good? Jody: I’m
not sure. I’m not really interested in that side of it.
Interviewer: are you looking forward to the final gig tonight in
the college hall?
Jody: yes and no. It’ll be a great gig-probably the best of this
year. But I’m sorry the tour’s over- we’ve had a really good
time. We haven’t argued. We’ve played well. I’ve loved it. Even
the weather’s been good! But we need to concentrate on our
exams now!

Since our interview last week, the band has had a big bust up
The college gig didn’t go well. The lead guitarist and the pianist
didn’t play well. They were really tired and didn’t try very
hard. Jody was really mad. “When students have paid all that
money for a ticker, we have to play well” she said next
morning. “Some fans have waited a year to see us. I feel
terrible” So she’s left the band. At riff magazine we hope it’s
only temporary.

 The Present Perfect is used to indicate an occurred action in an
undetermined time in the past, putting relief in the simple fact of having
realized, without specifying when that action took place.
 The present perfect is composed of the verb to have as an auxiliary verb +
the passive participle of the main verb.
 All regular verbs have the same form in the passive participle that the past
simple: walked, talked, etc.
 This does not happen with irregular verbs like: see, saw, seen; break,
broke, broken.

We use the present perfect:

 for something that started in the past and continues in the present:
 when we are talking about our experience up to the present:
 for something that happened in the past but is important in the present:
 We use have/has been when someone has gone to a place and returned.

Affirmative Negative

 For example:
 She has lived here all her life (Regular)
 They have written three letters already. (Irregular)
 He has finished his homework (Regular)

Question

 Notice that when the simple past is employed, we refer to a past action
without relation to the present, while with the present perfect, we refer to
a past action related to the present. PRACTICE
 Also, the present perfect is used to indicate an action that starts in the past PAIRS
and continues until the present. D. Change

READING – WILLIAM BOYS, SCOTLAND
E. Read the following article, then, answer the questions below.
WILLIAN BOYS, SCOTLAND

I‟ve been staying on Grenada, an island in the Caribbean, for three weeks and I am
having a brilliant time! There are nine volunteers in our group and everyone‟s very kind
and helpful. We‟re staying at a campsite by the beach and I share a tent with two other
volunteers.

At first, I had a lot difficult getting to sleep and I missed the comfort of my own bed, but
I‟m sleeping ok now and I love living in such a natural environment. We take turns to
prepare meals for the group, which is the worst part of the holiday for me because I
hate cooking. We have one day off a week, Which I spend diving around the coral reefs
near here. But of course, the main reason we‟re here is to protect the turtles from other
animal and people who want to steal their eggs.

We also check each turtle „s health and measure how big they are. Turtles have been
living on our planet for 230 million years-they are even older than the dinosaurs- but
now they are in danger of becoming extinct. You have to be very patient, but it‟s
incredible to watch a turtle walk out of the sea and lay her eggs on the beach. That‟s
definitely been the most amazing part of the holiday for me. I‟m not surprised
voluntourism is increasing in popularity and I‟d definitely recommend coming to
Grenada. When people ask me if I am losing my time in volunteering, I tell them, I have
not been losing my time at all, this is the best experience in my life.

B. Serena and George are on holiday in Devon, UK.

Serena says to George: Serena:


"I think tomorrow we can have a lie in until about 8.30, and then have a shower, then have
breakfast. If you do not mind, I will have cereal and you can have a fry-up, but you will have to
cook it, as I cannot stand cooking meat. After that, you can wash up, while I have a walk down
to the village to get the papers. I will get the Telegraph for me and the Mirror for you, as I
know you like doing the crossword. When I get back, I thought we could play tennis for a
couple of hours. Tben you can drive me to the coast, where we can find a nice restaurant to
have lunch. I will probably order a large salad and you can have a fresh seafood dish, if you
like. After lunch, I will want to relax for a while and be alone, so you will have to go out on
your own somewhere. You should either explore the town, or go to the beach for a couple of
hours. We will meet up again at about 5 o'clock for dinner. Then I will want you to take me
out for a drink, or we could always go to the theatre. I think they have a comedy on at the
moment. After our evening out, I will be tired so I will probably just go straight to bed. I am
looking forward to a lovely day tomorrow, George, dear. Have you written everything down?"

GRAMMAR – Shall
 Shall is not used very much nowadays and mostly in formal speech and some legal
documents. Originally Shall was used instead of Will in first person (with I and We)
when talking about the future. Now almost everyone uses Will with all subjects.

 Nowadays, the most common use of shall in everyday English (although not in
American English) is in questions that serve as offers or suggestions: "Shall I ...?" or
"Shall we ...?"

 The Negative of Shall


The negative of shall is shall not (= will not). The contraction of shall not is shan't (=
won't). It is very rare to hear this used nowadays though you may find it written in
older texts.

38
GRAMMAR – Ought to
Ought to is a semi-modal verb because it is in some ways like a modal verb and in some ways like a
main verb. For example, unlike modal verbs, it is followed by to, but like modal verbs, it does not
change form for person:
I ought to phone my parents.
It ought to be easy now.
Affirmative
Ought to comes first in the verb phrase (after the subject and before another verb):
We ought to do more exercise.
Ought to cannot be used with another modal verb:
Medicine ought to be free.
Negative
The negative is formed by adding ‘not’ after ought (ought not to). It can be contracted to oughtn’t to. We
don’t use don’t, doesn’t, didn’t with ought to:
We ought not to have ordered so much food.
Not: We don’t ought to have ordered so much food.
You oughtn’t to have said that about his mother.
Not: You didn’t ought to have said that about his mother.
The negative of ought to is not common. We usually use shouldn’t or should not instead:
You shouldn’t speak to your father like that. (preferred to You oughtn’t to speak …)
Questions
The subject and ought to change position to form questions. We don’t use do, does, did:
Ought she to call the police?
Not: Does she ought to call the police?
Ought we to be more worried about the environment?
Not: Do we ought to be more worried about the environment?

READING - Tipping Advice
D. Choose the best answer(s) for each question.
http://dreamreader.net/lesson/tipping-advice/

In many countries, it is normal for people to give a small amount of money to a worker who helps
or serves them. This is called a tip. People from cultures where there is no tipping often get
confused when traveling abroad. Here is some advice about tipping to help you:

There is no rule about tipping that works in every country. In some countries, like Albania, it is
normal to tip nearly everyone all the time. In other countries, such as Canada, only taxi drivers
and wait staff expect a tip. In other countries, you should never tip. In China, for example, it is
considered insulting to tip someone.

It is always a good idea to pay a tip using cash. If you tip with a credit card, the money may go to
the owner of the company instead of your waiter or driver. They might also need to wait for days
or weeks to receive your tip.

There is no rule about the amount you need to tip. In most countries where tipping happens, a
10% to 15% tip would be normal. Of course, you don‟t need to give a tip if the service is poor.
You can also tip more than 15% if you feel the service was particularly good.

Tips are sometimes included in the bill. Before you decide to pay a tip, check your bill very
carefully. Quite often, the tip is already added in as a “service charge” and added to the total on
the bill.

By the way, the biggest tip ever given was $3 million! In 1984, a New York City police officer
named Robert Cunningham was eating at his favorite restaurant. He didn‟t have enough money
for a tip so he told his waitress, Phyllis Penzo, he would share his money with her if he won the
lottery. When Cunningham won the lottery, he kept his promise and split the money with the
waitress.

E. Quiz

1. You should always tip people in any country you visit.


A. True
B. False
2.- Why is it a good idea to pay a tip with cash instead of credit card?
A. someone might steal your credit card
B. another person might get the tip
C. some places don't accept credit cards
D. tipping with a credit card is very rude
3. You should always give a tip, even if the service was very poor.
A. True
B. False
4. Why should you always check your bill before you give a tip?
A. the tip might be included in the bill
B. the tip might not be enough
C. your waiter might have made a mistake
D. it is very polite to check your bill

GRAMMAR – Zero conditional


 It is also called “The Logical Conditional”
 This is sometimes also called the present conditional. We use this
conditional to talk about a fact or convey a logical conclusion.
Examples:
 If you mix yellow and blue, you get green.
 If you heat water to 100 degrees Celsius, it boils.
 If you fall off your motorcycle, it hurts.

 The structure looks like this:


If + present tense clause + present tense clause

 It is often used to describe scientific rules which are, by definition,


unchanging...so the results always happen the same.
Examples:
 If you take ice out of the fridge in summer, it melts.
 A stone sinks if you throw it in a lake.

 We can also use the zero conditional to say what we do as a rule in certain
situations. Here, we are not talking about what we do in a particular, specific
situation (e.g. tonight, tomorrow) but what we always do in these
conditions.
Examples:
 If I get a headache, I go and lie down.
 If I miss the train, my sister always gives me a lift to work.

 When you heat oil, it starts to smoke.
 When you read books, you learn things

 Occasionally we use the past simple in both the if clause and the main clause as
shown in the following examples:
For example:
 If Peter was at home, he didn’t answer the phone.
(When we make assumptions)
 If ever I was bored, I hung around with my mates.

READING- Charlie Chaplin’s Early Life
E. Read the text about Charles Chaplin, then, answer True or False.

Charlie Chaplin's Early Life

He was believed to have been born on April 16, 1889. There is some doubt whether
April 16 is actually his birthday, and it is possible he was not born in 1889. There is
also uncertainty about his birthplace: London or Fontainebleau, France. There is no
doubt, however, as to his parentage: he was born to Charles Chaplin, Sr. and Hannah
Harriette Hill (aka Lily Harley on stage), both Music Hall entertainers. His parents
separated soon after his birth, leaving him in the care of his increasingly unstable
mother.

In 1896, Chaplin's mother was unable to find work; Charlie and his older half-brother Sydney Chaplin had to
be left in the workhouse at Lambeth, moving after several weeks to Hanwell School for Orphans and Destitute
Children. His father died an alcoholic when Charlie was 12, and his mother suffered a mental breakdown, and
was eventually admitted temporarily to the Cane Hill Asylum at Coulsdon (near Croydon). She died in 1928 in
the United States, two years after coming to the States to live with Chaplin, by then a commercial success.

Charlie first took to the stage when, aged five, he performed in Music Hall in 1894, standing in for his mother.
As a child, he was confined to a bed for weeks due to a serious illness, and, at night, his mother would sit at
the window and act out what was going on outside. In 1900, aged 11, his brother helped get him the role of a
comic cat in the pantomime Cinderella at the London Hippodrome. In 1903 he appeared in 'Jim, A Romance of
Cockayne', followed by his first regular job, as the newspaper boy Billy in Sherlock Holmes, a part he played
into 1906. This was followed by Casey's 'Court Circus' variety show, and, the following year, he became a
clown in Fred Karno's 'Fun Factory' slapstick comedy company.

According to immigration records, he arrived in the United States with the Karno troupe on October 2, 1912. In
the Karno Company was Arthur Stanley Jefferson, who would later become known as Stan Laurel. Chaplin
and Laurel shared a room in a boarding house. Stan Laurel returned to England but Chaplin remained in the
United States. Chaplin's act was seen by film producer Mack Sennett, who hired him for his studio,
the Keystone Film Company.

1. Chaplin has born some years earlier than is currently believed. T/F
2. Chaplin's mother died before her son was successful. T/F
3. Chaplin first performed on the stage after he arrived in the U.S. T/F
4. His first serious job was delivering newspapers. T/F

1) Panda lovers of the world now have another place to call home (for a few nights,
at least). In 2013, the Panda Inn, a panda-themed hotel in China's Sichuan
province, opened its doors to guests. The 32-room hotel is decorated with panda
art, panda furniture and panda-shaped stuffed animals. Even staff members dress
in panda suits. [Panda Inn, Sichuan, China]

2) Welcome to Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland. Here you can live with the Inuit and
incredible wildlife that surrounds Igloo Village. Dog sledding, traveling to frozen
fjords, visiting deserted villages, and sleeping in an icy cave are just a few of the
things you can do at this cold weather destination. Hopefully the local bears won’t
realize you’re a tourist and eat you out of spite. [Igloo Village]

3) Some people are skipping their cruise to the Caribbean and opting to sail to a
Texas-sized patch of floating trash in the Pacific Ocean instead. For about
$10,000 per person, you can head to the Great Pacific Garbage Patch — famous
for its high concentrations of plastic waste, chemical sludge, and debris trapped
by the currents of the North Pacific Gyre (a swirling pattern of oceanic currents).
Vacationers help operate a trawl that collects microscopic plastic particles that
threaten local wildlife and haul bigger heaps of junk offshore. [Great Pacific
Garbage Patch]

4) Rio Tinto, or Red River as it translates, is a river in Andalucía famed for its
colored water. The unusual river is one of the places on Earth that most closely
resembles the surface of Mars. The site along the river is full of copper, silver,
gold, iron and has been heavily mined since ancient times. The river's water is
dense due to the metals it carries and it has low oxygen content. [Rio Tinto, Spain]

5) Alnwick is home to about 100 killer plants like Atropa belladonna (deadly
nightshade), Strychnos nux-vomica (strychnine), and Conium maculatum
(hemlock). The garden has a license to grow things like cannabis, which is kept
behind bars in a giant cage. Another attraction Alnwick is popular for is the castle
on the same grounds that was a stand-in for Hogwarts in several of the Harry
Potter films. [Alnwick Poison Garden]

6) The world’s only indoor beach was located in Miyazaki, Japan. It shut down in
2007, but during its 14-year run the Ocean Dome saw up to 1.25 million visitors
per year. The Dome featured a fake volcano, fake sand, fake fish and fauna, a
steady 86 degrees Fahrenheit, and water park rides. The vast man-made beach
measured around 984 feet long and had a retractable roof that sported a
permanent blue sky. [Seagaia Ocean Dome]

Farming Techniques That Will Feed a Family

Rwanda, the women have been able to grow traditional crops like bananas and sorghum grain along-

hundred twenty dollars a year. But a family using integrated farming techniques on the same piece of
land can earn as much as three thousand five hundred dollars a year.
Women for Women International works with local community partners to design and carry out its
integrated farming program. Grace Fisiy is an agricultural business expert working in Rwanda and
Sudan. She says the local media in both countries have helped educate people about integrated
farming. Women for Women International plans to train at least three thousand women in Sudan and
Rwanda. Mizz Fisiy hopes the program will expand to other countries as well.

GRAMMAR – Imperative
Imperatives are verbs used to give orders, commands, warning or instructions,
and if you use “please” to make a request.
e.g. Give me that tape, please.

To make the imperative, use the infinitive of the verb without "to"
e.g. Come here! Sit down!

To make a negative imperative, put "do not" or "don't" before the verb:
e.g. Don't go! Do not walk on the grass.

You can also use "let's" before the verb if you are including
yourself in the imperative. The negative of "let's" is "let's not".
e.g. Let's stop now. Let's have some lunch. Let's not argue. Let's not tell her about it.

Orders
Adults do not usually give each other orders, unless they are in a position of
authority. However, adults can give orders to children and to animals. The
intonation of an order is important: each word is stressed, and the tone falls at
the end of the sentence:
e.g. Sit down now! "Sit", "down" and "now" are all stressed, and the tone falls on "now".

Warnings
You can use the imperative to warn someone of danger. All the
words in the warning are stressed, but the last word has a higher
tone than the first word:
e.g. Sit down now! "Sit", "down" and "now" are all stressed, and the
one falls on "now". Watch out! Look out! Don't cross!

Advice
When you give advice using the imperative, the words are stressed normally.
e.g Don't tell him you're resigning now! Wait until Monday when he's in a better mood.
Don't drink alcohol Don't eat heavy meals

Requests
You can also use the imperative to make a request, but
you should use a polite word before the verb:
e.g Please take a seat. Please wait here. Please hold the line. Please don't smoke here.

WRITING – HAND SOAP

DIY FOAMING HAND SOAP

I started making my own foaming hand soap pretty early in


my switch to a more natural lifestyle. With concerns over antibacterial
ingredients in many hand soaps and potty-training little ones who
found the need to wash their hands/arms/the counter with soap a
thousand times a day, I needed a healthy and frugal option.
Thankfully, there is a natural, homemade and incredibly
simple option that works just as well and doesn’t cost $3.59 a bottle
like the foaming versions at the store.
The recipe itself is literally so simple that I now have my six year old refill the bottles and it takes just
seconds to make. I keep the few simple ingredients on hand and we never have to buy hand soap or
worry about running out…Surprisingly, this foaming version also makes a decent shaving cream in
the shower…
Before you begin, you’ll need a foaming hand soap container. I originally ordered this pretty but
pricey foam dispenser online before I realized that there was a much more frugal and inexpensive
option: Household Traditions sells an organic foaming hand soap (in a dispenser) for much less than
the fancy version and the container can be re-used after the soap is used up. You’ll get a bottle of
soap to begin with and a free container at the end…
Once you’ve procured a foaming dispenser of some kind… here is the (incredibly simple) recipe: DIY
Foaming Hand Soap Prep time: 1 min Total time: 1 min
Incredibly simple, natural and frugal homemade foaming hand soap that cleans without chemicals or
antibacterial agents.

F. Match the following words with their definitions.

Foaming a combination of two or more chemicals


Mixture used for cleaning
Soap to put into
Dispenser a device used to contain
To fill to supply, to furnish to
Provide made by oneself
Homemade a mass of bubbles or gas in a matrix of liquid film
