Verbs to talk about sports.

There are three verbs that we use with sports and other free time activities: go, do and play,
but they are not interchangeable:
 Go is used with activities and sports that end in -ing. The verb go here implies that we
go somewhere to practice this sport: go swimming.
 Do is used with recreational activities and with individual, non-team sports or sports in
which a ball is not used, like martial arts, for example: do a crossword puzzle, do athletics,
do karate.
 Play is generally used with team sports and those sports that need a ball or similar
object (puck, disc). Also, those activities in which two people or teams compete against
each other: play football, play poker, play chess.
Remember, you can also play with different tenses to communicate. For example: I went
running last month.

Relatives and siblings

Your family members are also called your relatives. You have an immediate or nuclear family
and an extended family. Your immediate family includes your father, mother and siblings. Your
extended family includes all of the people in your father and mother's families.
Your sibling is your brother or sister. If you have 1 brother and 2 sisters, then you have 3
siblings. Your parent is your father or mother. Your child is your son or daughter.
Your spouse is your husband or wife.
You may also have a stepfamily. Your stepfamily includes people who became part of your
family due to changes in family life. These changes may include death, divorce or separation.
New partnerships create new children. The new children and their relatives become part of
your blended family. Some people are born into a stepfamily.
Note that spouses and step-relatives are relatives by marriage. They are not blood relatives.
Your father and mother are related by marriage. But your father and you are related by
blood.
In a family, the word generation means all the people in one stage of the family. For example,
your parents are one generation, you and your siblings are the next generation, and your
children and their cousins are another generation.

PREF 2 READING 2.2
Read carefully and then, asnwer the questions.
Family is ...

The nuclear family is the traditional family structure in the West. This term, originating in the
1950s, describes families consisting of a father, a mother, and their offspring. Under this
structure, the family is seen as the basic unit in society; the father functions as
the breadwinner and the mother as the homemaker. Nowadays, alternative family types are
becoming more prevalent, such as single-parent families, families headed by same-sex
parents, and extended families where families live with their kin, which may include several
generations. Extended families are less common in North America, where it is not uncommon
to place grandparents in retirement homes.
A Social Trends survey in 2009 reported radical changes in child rearing and marriage

practices in the United Kingdom. Figures showed that while 30 percent of women under thirty
had given birth by the age of 25, only 24 percent had tied the knot. This marked the first time
childbirth had become the first major milestone in adult life, ahead of marriage. In 1971 in the
U.K, 3/4 of women were married by the age of 25 and half were mothers.
Judging by the high rates of divorce and the increasing number of children born out
of wedlock, it would appear that the family as an institution is in decline. American sociologist
Stephanie Coontz believes so too, but for different reasons. Coontz points out that marriages
are no longer arranged for political or economic reasons, and children are no longer required to
contribute to the family income. Marriages nowadays are founded on love. She believes this
shift towards love and free choice has actually weakened both the family by making it optional
and the bond between the husband and wife by making it contingent on emotional fulfillment.

ADVERBS WE CAN USE WITH THE PRESENT

PERFECT.
They are all used when actions are going to happen, or are expected to happen, or were
unexpected around the present time. Here we go into more detail about the difference
between still, yet and already:
STILL
Still is used to say an action or situation continues to the present because it has not finished.
It often refers to something happening for longer than expected.
Notice the position of still before the verb or adjective.
 My grandfather is sixty-nine and he still works every day at the kiosk

he owns.
 Do you still live with your parents?
 It's 8pm, and I can't leave the office because I still have work to do.
 Are you still angry with your partner?
 He is still asleep so don't wake him up.
If the verb has two parts, still goes between both the verbs:
 She started her exam an hour ago and she is still answering the
questions.
 Is it still snowing? (= it continues to snow, it hasn't stopped)
 When I went to bed, Angelica was still working.
But if one of the two verbs is negative, still goes before that negative verb:
 Lucy has stopped smoking but her brother still hasn't quit.

 I took the clock to the repair shop though it still isn't working.
YET
Yet refers to an action that is expected in the future. It is not used in the past.
FOR QUESTIONS: To ask if something expected has happened. It is usually placed at the
end of the sentence or question.
 Are we there yet? (A typical question kids ask while taking car trips
with their parents)
 Is the report ready yet?
 Hasn't your mother told you yet? We're moving to Alaska!
FOR NEGATIONS: To say that something expected hasn't happened:
 Mary can't go home yet, she hasn't finished her work.

 They haven't paid me yet. (I was expecting to paid before now.)
 My parents haven't kicked me out of their house yet.
ALREADY
FOR AFFIRMATIVES: It is used to refer to an action that happened sooner than expected.
It is used in affirmative sentences in the present or past, but never future.
 A: Ask Katie to send the article to her editor. B: She

has already sent it.
 I already know what I'm going to buy you for your birthday.
 They've already seen "Spiderman 15" and really don't want to see it
again.

In present and present perfect questions, it comes immediately after the subject.
However, in present perfect sentences, the order is subject + have+ already + past
participle.

Let's practice!
Write still, yet or already according to the sentence. Be
1. Don't come in here with those muddy shoes!! I have Respuesta
already
cleaned this floor!!!

2. Have you finished that composition for History class Respuesta
yet
? You only started an hour ago!!

Read the following information about the old

colonel.
I think I have had a very interesting life. I'm 73 now and I don't work anymore. I was in the army
for 51 years. I retired when I was 69. I have been to so many countries that I can't remember
all of them. I've been to Australia six or seven times and to South Africa three times. I have
also been once to Russia but I didn't like it at all: much too cold for me!
They say that love is the greatest thing and I agree. I've been married four times but never for
more than five years. I don't think women really understand me!
I've never been on television, but I've been on the radio once. It was a programme about life in
the military about twenty years ago. I met the Prime Minister on the same day. Actually, I've
met a lot of famous people: members of the royal family, famous politicians and also famous
cinema and television personalities. I've never met the American President though which is a
pity.
Because I've travelled a lot, I've seen a lot of wonderful things and have also eaten and drank
some strange foods and drinks. I ate cat and rat in India and drank something called Mirto on a
little island in Italy many years ago.
Now, answer the questions.
He worked in the army
1. What job did he have before retiring? Respuesta
for 51 years
2. How long was he in the army? Respuesta
3. How many times has he been to Australia? Respuesta
He has been there six or seven times

No, he didn't

REALITY TV IN UK
Taken from: http://learnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/uk-now/read-uk/reality-
tv#sthash.c4oKguvm.dpuf
Reality TV is more than just ‘Big Brother’. Read out about some unusual reality TV
programmes that are popular in the UK.
Reality TV is extremely popular in the UK. At their best, these programmes give us a good look
into the lives of different people in Britain. At their worst, they are a very cheap way to make
programmes and sometimes involve people behaving very badly.
Here’s a selection of some of the UK’s reality TV shows.
Strictly Come Dancing
In the show a celebrity learns to dance with a professional dancer. Every week they have to
learn a different ballroom dance such as the tango, the waltz or the cha cha cha, and perform it
live on TV on Saturday night. Four judges, who are all professional dance experts, give the
celebrities scores and they comment on their dances. After that, the public call in and vote for
their favourite couple. The two least favourite then have to dance again and the judges decide
who stays in the competition and who leaves. This is a very popular show with small children,
teenagers and adults of all ages.
Shattered
A group of young people live in a house for a week and must stay awake. Each day there are
tests to see how well they can function even though they are totally exhausted. They must
leave the house if they fall asleep. Viewers vote on who stays in the house and text their
comments every day.
Come Dine with Me
Each week four people prepare dinner in their home for the other contestants. Each competitor
then gives the cook a grade out of 10 for the food and entertainment. The winner gets a £1,000
cash prize. Sometimes the food is terrible and the contestants are very rude to each other.
World’s Strictest Parents
Badly behaved British teens are sent abroad to live with a super strict family for a week. The
teenagers have to follow the rules of their host family and go to the local school. After seven
days the teenagers return home and their parents tell us if their behaviour is better. There is
often a lot of crying and shouting in this show but it can be incredibly funny too.
Don't Tell the Bride
The groom (the man who is going to get married) has to arrange the wedding without the help
of his bride (the woman he is going to marry). He has to choose the location, the dress, the
flowers, the cake, the music….everything, in fact! The groom is always very stressed and
worried. Usually the bride is very happy with the wedding but occasionally there are disasters,
for example, the bride’s wedding dress is too big or the groom forgets to order a cake.
Relocation, Relocation
This show follows people deciding on a new place to live in the UK. They are filmed during the
process of moving town and house. For viewers who are going to buy a home soon, it’s really
interesting to see the prices of flats and houses in different parts of the country.
Learner Drivers
This show follows people as they learn to drive. People are filmed while they fight with their
driving instructors, test the patience of other motorists and pass or fail their driving test.
Learning to drive is very stressful, as we can see in this programme.
Coppers
The show follows the daily lives of police officers (informally known as 'coppers') from different
police forces around Britain. We see them in lots of different situations, such as riot control, city
centre night-time policing, and responding to emergencies. Watching the police in action is
absolutely fascinating!

Now, match each sentence with the correct show

CAN, COULD AND BE ABLE TO
Can and could are modal auxiliary verbs. Be able to is NOT an auxiliary verb (it uses the
verb be as a main verb).
In this lesson we look at can, could and be able to, followed by an exercise. Please, take a
look at the following video.

Let's see how each one of these work.
CAN
NEVER use "to" after can.

For example: I can to play tennis.
can for possibility and ability
We use can to talk about what is possible, what we are able or free to
do:
 She can drive a car.
 John can speak Spanish.
 I cannot hear you. (I can't hear you.)
 Can you hear me
can for permission
We sometimes use can to ask or give permission for something:

A. Can I smoke in this room?

B. You can't smoke here, but you can smoke in the garden.

COULD
could for past possibility or ability

We use could to talk about what was possible in the past, what we were
able or free to do:
 I could swim when I was 5 years old.

 My grandmother could speak seven languages.
 When we arrived home, we could not open the door. (...couldn't open
the door.)
 Could you understand what he was saying?

could for requests
We often use could in a question to ask somebody to do something.
The use of could in this way is fairly polite (formal):
 Could you tell me where the bank is, please?

 Could you send me a catalogue, please?

BE ABLE TO

be able to for ability

We use be able to to express ability. "Able" is an adjective meaning:
having the power, skill or means to do something. If we say "I am able
toswim", it is like saying "I can swim". We sometimes use be able
to instead of "can" or "could" for ability. Be able to is possible in all
tenses - but "can" is possible only in the present and "could" is possible
only in the past for ability. In addition, "can" and "could" have no
infinitive form. So we usebe able to when we want to use other tenses
or the infinitive. Look at these examples:
 I have been able to swim since I was five. (present perfect)

 You will be able to speak perfect English very soon. (future simple)
 I would like to be able to fly an airplane. (infinitive)

Now let's practice!!!

he hates ironing. He never does it. My grandma comes to us twice a week and she irons our
clothes.
Three times a week mum does the washing and I help her to hang out the clothes. On Fridays I
tidy my room. At the weekends – when mum doesn’t work – we wash the car together and dad
mows the lawn. We all like gardening.

PAST SIMPLE VS PAST CONTINUOUS REVIEW

Remember- the simple past talks about something that happened before. It happened and
it finished. Some words are regular and just have -ed added at the end like walked, helped,
and played. Others are irregular and have many variations like ate, began, and slept.
The past continuous talks about something that was happening before, but for a period of
time. It uses was or were + verb-ing like was eating or were playing. It gives a background for
something that was happening while a different event happened.
Example: While I was eating, the telephone rang.
So, during the time I was eating (let's say from 6:30-7:00 p.m.) somebody called my house
(let's say they called at 6:49p.m.) One thing happened (simple past) during the period of time
another thing was happening (past continuous.)
Here is another example: They saw an old man as they were walking down the street.
You can think of walking as a video. You see the movement. You see the time passing. Think
of saw as a photo. It is one point of time. You don't think of the time passing.
I dreamed in English when I was sleeping.
She was listening to the radio when the mail came.

WILL VS GOING TO

A very confusing concept is when to use WILL and when to use BE GOING TO when we refer
the future.
Both refer to the future but there is a slight difference but in most cases they can be used
interchangeably with no difference in meaning. Even if you misuse them, a native speaker is
going to understand you without any problems.

When to use GOING TO

The structure BE GOING TO is normally used to indicate the future but with some type of
connection to the present. We use it in the following situations:
1. When we have already decided or we intend to do something in the future:
 They're going to retire to the beach - in fact they have already

bought a little beach house.
2. When there are definite signs that something is going to happen:
 I think it is going to rain - I just felt a drop.
3. When something is about to happen:
 Get back! The bomb is going to explode.
When to use WILL

In other cases, where there is no implicit or explicit connection to the present, use WILL:
1. For things that we decide to do now.
 I'll buy one for you too.

 I think I'll try one of those. (I just decided this right now)
2. When we think or believe something about the future.
 My team will not win the league this season.

 I think it will rain later so take an umbrella with you.
3. To make an offer, a promise or a threat.
 I'll give you a discount if you buy it right now.

 I promise I will behave next time.

going to). Use the verbs in brackets to complete each

HOUSES
There are houses all over the world. Some houses are large. Some are small. Some are made
of wood. Some are made of rock. Some are made of mud. Some are made of cloth. In cold
places, some houses are made of ice – frozen water! People usually build their houses with
something that is easy to find, and make houses with materials that are affordable in contrast
with the regular ones. For example, there are many trees in a forest. So people who live there
might build a house made of logs. Or maybe, you feel recycling is your life, then maybe,
building a house with empty pastic bottles is for you. It depends on how creative you are and
what would you like your house to be.
However, wooden houses have been around for centuries due to the fact that you can find
wood pretty much anywhere, its a strong material and keep warm the space.Some houses
have one room. Some houses have many rooms. There is usually a bedroom for sleeping.
There is often a kitchen for cooking and also a bathroom. There is often a living room for sitting
and talking. Some houses have basements. The basement is under the main part of the
house. Some houses have attics. The attic is above the main part of the house. Most houses
have a door so people can enter and exit the house. Most houses have windows so the people
can look outside. Windows also let air into the house from outdoors. Some houses are fancy.
They are painted bright colors, and are very decorative. Some houses not fancy –– they are
plain and simple. Houses look very different in different parts of the world. But, people who live
in a house probably all agree that there is no place like home! No matter what kind of house
you live in: plastic, wood, concrete... your home not necessarily is where you live, but where
your heart is.
Now, answer the following questions:

1) Why are many forest houses made of logs? Respuesta
All options are correct
For sleeping
2) Why do houses have bedrooms? Respuesta

REVIEW OF MODAL VERBS

Modal verbs are unlike other verbs. They do not change their form (spelling) and they have no
infinitive or participle (past/present).The modal verbs include can, could, must, should, have to.
Modals are auxiliary verbs. They do not need an additional auxiliary in negatives or questions.
For example: Must I come? (Do I must come?), or: He shouldn't smoke (He doesn't should
smoke).
Here are some characteristics of modal verbs:
 They never change their form. You can't add "s", "ed", "ing"...
 They are always followed by an infinitive without "to" (e.i. the bare
infinitive.)
 They are used to indicate modality allow speakers to express
certainty, possibility, willingness, obligation, necessity, ability.
Here is a list of modals with examples:
Modal Verb Expressing Example

Strong obligation You must stop when the traffic lights turn red.

Reality Television
Reality television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted

dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and features ordinary people rather
than professional actors. It could be described as a form of artificial or "heightened"
documentary. Although the genre has existed in some form or another since the early years of
television, the current explosion of popularity dates from around 2000.
Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from game or quiz
shows which resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes produced in Japan in the
1980s and 1990s (a modern example is Gaki no tsukai), to surveillance- or voyeurism- focused
productions such as Big Brother.
Critics say that the term "reality television" is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows
frequently portray a modified and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in exotic
locations or abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in certain ways by off-screen
handlers, and with events on screen manipulated through editing and other post-production
techniques.
Part of reality television's appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary
situations. For example, on the ABC show, The Bachelor, an eligible male dates a dozen
women simultaneously, travelling on extraordinary dates to scenic locales. Reality television
also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities, outwardly in talent and
performance programs such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big Brother
participants also reach some degree of celebrity.
Some commentators have said that the name "reality television" is an inaccurate description
for several styles of program included in the genre. In competition-based programs such as Big
Brother and Survivor, and other special-living-environment shows like The Real World, the
producers design the format of the show and control the day-to-day activities and the
environment, creating a completely fabricated world in which the competition plays out.
Producers specifically select the participants, and use carefully designed scenarios,
challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviours and conflicts. Mark
Burnett, creator of Survivor and other reality shows, has agreed with this assessment, and
avoids the word "reality" to describe his shows; he has said, "I tell good stories. It really is not
reality TV. It really is unscripted drama."

Now, answer the questions:
1. In the first line, the writer says 'it is claimed' because Respuesta
they want to distance themselves from the statement
been popular since approximately 2000

2.Reality television has Respuesta
has produced demeaning TV shows copied elsewhere

3. Japan Respuesta

4. People have criticised reality television because Respuesta

is more likely to turn its participants into celebrities

6. Pop Idol Respuesta

to create conflict among other things

8.Producers choose the participants Respuesta
