WARM-UP

SPEAKING
Work in pairs.
Talk about your daily routines, use the
prompts in the box to help you make questions.

What / do / spare time?

When / do / usually / work?
How / do / go there?
What / time /…….?

Discuss these questions.

What do you think the following people do on a typical working day?
a) a doctor b) an actor c) a farmer d) a dj e) a teacher f) a student

READING
A day in the life of a university student in the UK.
Read (scan) the text and write the activities next to the times:
7.30 _____ 11.00-11.30_____ 4.00 _____
7.00 _____ 8.59 _____ 8.45 _____

What does a typical day look like for a UK university student?

It varies but blogger Holly Brandon explains her daily routine as a university
student in the UK.
The one thing I can say with certainty about life as a student is that there is
no typical day. A first year’s day is completely different from a third year’s or a day
in the life of a language student is different from a chemist’s. Every day is different.
But here is a description of what a typical day is like for me, as a linguistics student
at the University of York.
Morning– unfortunately!
I usually wake up at 7.30 am. but my day typically begins at 8.45 am. I get dressed,
grab a cheese sandwich for breakfast and arrive at my lecture at 8.59 am, with pen,
paper and the sandwich.
Lectures?
As a linguistics student, contact hours are very few. I go to the occasional lectures or seminars about three times a
week. On many days, my timetable consists of hour-long gaps. I should use these to try to prepare for the next day’s
psycholinguistics seminar, or read an article on Jamaican Creole and decide on the topic of my thesis, but in reality,
I look through my Facebook newsfeed and ask myself; “Should I treat myself to some chocolate from the library
vending machine?”
Fun, fun, fun!
Between essay-writing and lots of reading, I spend my afternoons swimming or studying. At 4.00 pm, I go to
aerobics classes. In the evening, around 7.00 pm, I usually go and practice with my band, my favourite activity or I
meet up with a friend. There is always something to do on the campus. Sometimes, I go to a concert or the cinema.
Most days, I go to bed at around 11 – 11.30 pm. At the weekends, I usually visit my family or study for my exams.
Underline all the verbs in the text.

GRAMMAR
Adverbs of frequency
Adverbials of frequency tell us how often people do things. Look at the following adverbials and group
them according to the rate of frequency.

once in a life time – always – usually – seldom – frequently – hardly ever – almost every day
constantly – from time to time – now and then – generally

All the time Sometimes Rarely

Write sentences to say how often you do things using the frequency adverbs below.
• feed street animals / …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
• shut down your mobile phone / …………………………………………………………….………………………………………………
• say “hi” to a total stranger / ………………………………………………………………………………………………………..……….
• forget your friend’s name / …………………………………………………………………….…………………………………………….
• dream about being a singer / ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

LANGUAGE USE
Position of adverbials in a sentence
• An adverb of frequency is used between the helping verb (or a modal) and the main verb.
He doesn’t often arrive late. She never gets up before 8 am.

• Frequency adverbs usually come before the verb.

Joe always swims in the morning. We hardly ever go out for dinner.

• However, the verb “be” comes before frequency adverbs.

Holly is always happy in her aerobics class. She has never been on time to any meeting.

• Some frequency adverbs such as usually, often, frequently, occasionally, and sometimes, may also
come at the beginning of the sentence or at the end of the sentence.
Sometimes, I feel like screaming. I sometimes feel like screaming.
I feel like screaming sometimes.

WRITING
Imagine that you are a stunt performer for world famous movie actors.
Write sentences about your daily routine.
Ex. I sometimes invite Robert De Niro for a chat over a cup of coffee.

The teacher is writing on the board now.

1. That’s right, in this job you are paid to sleep at work. Sounds like a dream job! In reality,
it’s hard work. A good bed tester knows how to lie down to check that the mattress has no
dips and that the edges of the bed are strong enough to sit on.

2. Pets are our friends, and we have to make sure that they eat delicious and nutritious meals.
Call in the pet food testers! They taste pet food to evaluate the flavours and check if it’s up to
quality standards. Nobody deserves bad food, especially the favourite member of the family.

3. Every day, you slide down the slide to see how much water it needs, how quickly you can
reach the bottom, and how safe and fun it is. What a hard job!

13
 A mobile global population
1. Local community
In the past, most people lived in the same place for their whole life. You stayed in the village where you were
born. So several generations of the same family – children, parents, grandparents, - all lived in the same area,
the same street or even the same house. It wasn’t common for people to move away from their hometown.
People used to belong to a community and feel happier.

2. A mobile work force

Nowadays, we have a highly mobile global population. People are moving around all the time; for work, for
education or for a better life. But what problems does this cause for society? People lose touch with old friends
and colleagues and they are always trying to build new networks. A new job in a new city often means a move
for the whole family. How does this affect family relationships? Children have to change schools and get to know
new teachers and classmates. Grandparents often live many kilometres away from their grandchildren. Modern
communication means that we can stay in touch by telephone, social media and Skype or e-mail.

3. Urbanisation
In most countries with fast growing economies like China and India, thousands of people are moving to cities
from countryside. Cities in Asia are some of the fastest growing in the world. People don’t want to work on the
family farm when there are more job opportunities in the city. Many villages are now full of older people as all
the families have moved away.

What is the future for these rural communities?

Topic Sentences
Write the topic sentences for each paragraph in the space below.

1. _________________________________________________________
2. _________________________________________________________
3. _________________________________________________________

Supporting sentences
In each paragraph, there are ‘supporting statements’. These support the topic sentence, and they
explain the main idea of the paragraph.

e.g Topic sentence

Nowadays, we have a highly mobile global population.
e.g Supporting statement.
A new job in a new city often means a move for the whole family.

For each topic sentence (1,2,3) underline the supporting statements in the paragraph and write
some examples here.

1. _________________________________________________________
2. _________________________________________________________
3. _________________________________________________________

Reading
Are you satisfied or bored with your daily routine?
How can you improve your routine? Write down
your ideas. Then, read the texts below to see if
they are the same.
………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………
STOP REACHING FOR THE PHONE WHEN YOU WAKE
UP!
Write things down (pen to paper)
When we write things by hand, our brains remember
and process them better. Wake up in the morning and
write down exactly what you want to accomplish and
by what time. Start with the little things, and cross
them off as you do them.
CHANGE THE SCENERY ENOUGH!
You cannot expect to relax in the same space that you
work. You cannot be inspired by staring at the same
grey wall for another 7 hours. You have to make it a
point to change the scenery as often as you can.
Redecorate! Work from home! Work from a coffee
shop! Just go outside for a little while. Take a day trip.
Shift the lighting. Changing what you see will actually
shift how your brain fires off signals, and it will
change your experience more than you'd assume.
STOP TRYING TO DO TOO MUCH!
Don’t over-schedule just because you want to feel
tired, as though the day was well-spent. Replace your
endless list of tasks with a few meaningful ones. Be
realistic!
True or False?
