ENGLISH AROUND T
The English language dates back to the fth century, when Germanic tribes invaded
Britain and their languages combined to form Old English. The earliest form of English
looks very different from our modern form, but the two share a number of words and
roots of words. In 1066, the Normans conquered England and brought with them a form
of French. Many French words, along with some Latin, were mixed in with Old English,
and Middle English was born. With the advent of printing in the 16th century, English be-
came standardized. The Industrial Revolution created a need for more words, and British
colonization led to the adoption of many foreign words. These factors were rounded up
to make up Modern English, as we know it today.

E-mails and Letters. An informal letter or email is usually between people who know each other fairly
well. In addition to giving news, they are often used to request information, congratulate people, give
advice and ask questions. There are a lot of similarities between informal letters and conversation.
Informal letters ask a lot of questions, show interest and enthusiasm, and imagine a lot of shared
information. Practice this by writing an e-mail to your friends explaining your experience in an exchange
programme.

“Your teacher has asked you to write a report on things for tourists to do in their free time in the city
where you live. In your report, you should mention what free-time facilities there are and recommend
improvements.”

NETWORKING
WARM-UP
Discuss this question in class:
What do you understand by “networking”? How do you nd help from the people around?
Medicine isn’t quite like other degrees. I spent the rst three years studying and attending lectures
on anatomy, cell biology and pathology (what happens when the body goes wrong). I found when
I got to medical school that I was required to memorise far more than I had had to at secondary
school and put in far longer hours, especially around exam time.
As well as the lessons and lectures, I had individual weekly classes with my tutor, who also gave
me work to do. _________(1). These classes soon became a high point in my week. We used to
spend the hour discussing such things as the properties of different medicines or the topic of an
essay whose title was Doctors can learn more medicine from treating patients than from studying
textbooks. Do you agree? ______________ (2).
In my nal year, I studied for an extra degree in Physiological Sciences. I was also able to pursue
areas of interest, which in my case included neuroscience, and take supplementary modules in the
history of medicine and pharmacology. Most universities now expect you to do some academia
research as well. However, I felt incredibly lucky that I had the opportunity to work in laboratories
where I rubbed shoulders with Nobel Prize winners. ____________________(3).
As a clinical student, in other words as a student in a hospital, my timetable changed dramatically.
I was expected to dress smartly, as I spent every day with patients as a functioning part of a medi-
cal team. _____________(4) These included surgery, medicine, dermatology, neurology and many
more.
I moved to a London hospital for my clinical training, and had some very memorable experiences,
such as delivering my rst baby and visiting a prison psychiatric ward. ______________(5). I was
permitted to walk into any ward or any operating theatre and observe, learn, ask questions and
speak to patients, whereas practising doctors are all rushed off their feet. Students can often take
time to really investigate a patient’s condition more deeply, and may even be able to inform the
doctors and nurses of some very important detail that has been overlooked and which might lead
to the patient being misdiagnosed. ______________ (6). Everyone teaches each other at whate-
ver level, and now I also help secondary-school students who are preparing entrance exams for
the top medical schools.
Medicine is a very time-intensive degree. However, being thrown in at the deep end of some of
the most challenging situations I have
ever been in, and having to deal with patients from all areas of life, continues to inspire me and
satisfy me on a daily basis

RETIREMENT: More Fun Tha
WARM-UP
Discuss this question in class:
My best friend was recently forced into an early retirement. While she was within a year of
wanting to retire anyway, it came as a bit of shock when her job position was eliminated and
she was faced with trying to occupy the hours in the day. What should she have done? She must
have felt terrible.
Fortunately, she and her husband had planned for their retirement nancially, so she did
not need to nd another job to supplement their income. However, not much thought had
previously been
given to what she would do to keep herself occupied during retirement. With retirement
thrust upon her so unexpectedly, she felt unprepared, lost, useless and a little depressed. Each
individual faces a unique set of circumstances that dictates how and when they will retire.
Some people plan for early retirement, while others feel they will never be able to retire due to
nancial constraints or health issues. That is why you must plan ahead.
If you are one of the lucky few who are reasonably well set nancially, have good health and
little-to-no guardian responsibilities, then you need to embrace retirement as a new phase of life
with unlimited possibilities. Develop the attitude that you are indeed lucky!
1) What is the biggest problem of retired people when they start this new stage in their lives?
2) How was the writer’s best friend forced into an early retirement?

UNIT 3
LESSON 3C
B. We use modal verbs to express the speaker’s view of ability, certainty and possibility, obligation,
prohibition and permission.
To express certainty about the present, we use:
• must:
She’s been in over 15 lms, so she must be very well known.
• can’t or couldn’t for the negative (not mustn’t):
You can’t be tired. You’ve just got out of bed!
Mark couldn’t have been at the party - he’s on holiday in Asia at the moment.
To express possibility about the past, we use:
• may have, might have, could have, may not have, might not have plus past participle:
It’s unlike Sally to be late. She may have overslept, or she might not have remembered the appointment.
Find examples of Modal Verbs in the text.
B. Let’s talk. Why should we respect older people? How can we plan for a good retirement?
