GRAMMAR: TALKING ABOUT THE PAST:

PRESENT PERFECT & PAST SIMPLE
Past simple or present perfect?
Past simple = I worked / Present perfect = I have worked
Definite time in the past
We use the past simple to refer to definite time in the past (when we specify the time or how long) and
usually with past time expressions such as yesterday, two weeks ago, last year, in 1995:
We met in January 1975. We went to America together in 1978.
Not: We have met in January 1975. We have gone to America together in 1978.
Time up to now
We use the present perfect to talk about time up to now, that is, events that took place in the past but which
connect with the present. The present perfect is often used with time expressions which indicate time up to
now, for example today, this year, in the last six months:
I haven’t seen her since January 1995.
Not: I didn’t see her since January 1995.
Compare

Definite time in the past.
I finished my homework an hour ago.

attacks.
2. TV shows have long launched spin-off products in the form of merchandise and video games.

5. Until now, online learning experiences have been able to deliver great videos and quizzes, but student
interaction was minimal and the experience for learners has been impersonal.
6. Experts from the Centre for Education and Employment have reservations about the value of such online
courses where there is no formal assessment or contact between the students and those delivering the
courses.
7. The course will consist of eight modules including a physics module on ‘the science of decay’, a public
health module on the study of epidemics and a mathematics module on population dynamics.
8. The University of California, which has a huge reputation to uphold, said that there had been no dumbing
down in the design of the course.
9. Millions of students sign up for online education courses each year.
TEXT
The boundaries between education and entertainment are beginning to blur, and a new type of learning, in
which education merges with entertainment, is emerging –
‘edutainment’. But now US television company AMC has teamed up with the
University of California to produce an online course based on the TV show, The Walking Dead, which
features apost-apocalyptic world ridden with zombies.
With an audience of 10 million, student numbers for the course are expected to be in the
hundreds of thousands.
Academics from the University of California say that the online course will be a ‘legitimate educational
experience’ and tackle serious issues from the fields of science, public health,
nutrition, psychology and sociology. However, students will gain no formal

qualifications or credits on successful completion of the course.

It insisted that all modules had been made as academically rigorous as those taught on
the university grounds. One lecturer in social science stated that the university already used
contemporary media examples to make theories more relevant to students, and this course was merely
taking this concept one step further. ‘The curriculum is very real,’ says
Josh Coates, head of Infrastructure and designer of the online platform. ‘The fact that
the context is this fictional world of an apocalypse is incidental. This course gives us the opportunity to
educate people about the science of disasters.’
The market for massive open online courses, or MOOCs, is rapidly expanding.
However, millions fail to complete the courses, suggesting that they pose a real challenge to
online learners.
The university is taking this opportunity to hone the way it delivers online
courses. With the increasing demand for online courses, these are issues that universities looking to
invest in online learning are increasingly having to face.
They believe that TV shows may serve to attract students, but the academic
element still needs to outweigh the entertainment value for a university course to be officially recognised
and respected.

GRAMMAR: FUTURE TIME CLAUSES4

When, as soon as, until, unless and in case are subordinating conjunctions which can be used to connect an
action or an event to a point in time.
WARNING: We don’t use will after conjunctions referring to future time:
 When people walk into the room, they will feel something special.
Not: When people will walk into the room…
 I will call you as soon as I get to the office. Not:

… as soon as I will get to the office.
When, as soon as
We can use when and as soon as to talk about a specific point in time when something happened or will
happen:
 When we were in Greece, we went to as many islands as possible. As soon as we hear any
news, we’ll call you.
Until
Until as a time conjunction means up to a time in the past or future. In the case of until, the main clause
usually comes first:
 I’m going to wait until the January sales start to buy a new jacket.
 Until he mentioned his name was Doug, I thought he was called Damien! (less common
order)
 We spell until with one l. (Not: untill)
Unless
We use the conjunction unless to mean ‘except if’. The clause which follows unless is a subordinate clause
(sc): it needs a main clause (mc) to make a complete sentence.
When unless comes before the main clause, we use a comma:

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/es/gramatica/gramatica-britanica/conditionals-and-wishes/unless
http://www.englishlessonsbrighton.co.uk/difference-if-in-case/
17
 Unless [SC]it rains, [MC]we’ll go for a picnic by the river tomorrow. (We’ll go for a picnic
by the river tomorrow if it doesn’t rain.)
When the main clause comes first, we don’t need a comma: [MC]
 They won’t come unless [SC]you invite them.
Unless is a conditional word (like if), so we don’t use will or would in the subordinate clause:
 Unless I hear from you, I’ll see you at two o’clock.

Not: Unless I’ll hear from you …
In case
We use in case to talk about things we should do in order to be prepared for possible future situations:
 Shall I keep some chicken salad for your brother in case he’s hungry when he gets here?
In case I forget later, here are the keys to the garage. (conjunction)
What’s the difference between “if” and “in case”
It is important not to confuse “if” and “in case”. They can be used in similar sentences, but they have
different meanings. Consider the following examples:
 I will take a coat if it rains.
 I will take a coat in case it rains.
Here, “if” is used to present a conditional situation (dependent it raining), while “in case” is a precaution
(done to prepare for the rain).
“In case” is usually used to show that an action is being taken, or preparations have been made, as a
precaution – so the action or event is completed based on a possibility.
 I have bought extra porridge in case we need more.
 He was expecting a delivery, so he stayed at home in case it arrived.
“If”, as a conditional, shows an action or event that is dependent on something else happening. The action
will not happen unless the if clause happens.
 I will go to the play if I have some spare time.
 She will receive a reward if she passes her exam.

VOCABULARY & SPEAKING: MY HEALTH5
Be sure you know the most common vocabulary people use when talking about this topic.
AT THE DOCTOR’S STUDENT’S NOTES
If you don’t feel well you can make an appointment to see
you family doctor (GP) at the local health centre.
He will examine you and ask what symptoms you have.
He may take your pulse and temperature or take your blood
pressure. Then he will usually make a diagnosis and decide
how to treat you. He may prescribe you some medicine to
cure you illness. You take the prescription to the chemist’s
or pharmacy, where the chemist will usually give you some
tablets/pills. Read the instructions carefully in case there
are any side effects. The doctor may also tell you to have
one or two days off to rest and recover. With this treatment
you will normally get better in a few days.
If the doctor is not sure what’s wrong with you he may send
you to see a specialist or arrange for you to have some more
tests, for example, X-rays. If you are seriously ill you may
need to go to hospital and have an operation. You may need
several weeks to get over the operation.
It’s a good idea to have a medical check-up once a year.

GRAMMAR: ADDITION, CONTRAST, REASON & RESULT

ADDITION
When you add a second piece of information in a sentence to support the first piece of information.
AS WELL AS, IN ADDITION TO,
As well as is more common than in addition to. In addition to is more formal and used more in writing than
in speaking:
• As well as offering a 15% discount on the furniture, Smith’s Furniture delivered it free to our house.
• In addition to cutting jobs, the company has announced that its profits are down for this year.
WARNING: When they are followed by clauses as well as or in addition to can only be followed by a verb
in the -ing form (non-finite clauses):
 You become less selfish as well as learning how to interact with other people.
Not: You become less selfish as well as you learn how to interact.…
 In addition to doing an exam, applicants also had to do an interview.

Not: In addition to they did an exam …
FURTHERMORE
“Furthermore" is similar to "in addition." Use "furthermore" to add more information in your sentence. It's
a little formal, but you can use it when speaking English.
• Reading is a good way to learn new vocabulary words; furthermore, it can improve your
ability to spell words correctly.
EXERCISE: Translate the following sentence into English: Además de estudiar el Grado en
Educación Primaria, estoy trabajando a tiempo parcial.
22
CONTRAST
HOWEVER AND NEVERTHELESS (adverbs)
We can use either of the adverbs however or nevertheless to indicate that the second point we wish to make
contrasts with the first point. The difference is one of formality: nevertheless is a bit more formal and
emphatic than however. Consider the following:
• I can understand everything you say about wanting to share a flat with Martha.
However/Nevertheless, I am totally against it.
• Rufus had been living in the village of Edmonton for over a decade. Nevertheless, the villagers
still considered him to be an outsider
ALTHOUGH AND THOUGH (conjunctions)
The use of although and though lets us know that there is a contrast with something else:
• (Al)though there was lots of lightning I wasn't struck.

• I wasn't struck (al)though there was lots of lightning.
Although or though? These two words are really the same. Though is a shortened form of although.
Although is perhaps more formal.
DESPITE / IN SPITE OF (prepositions)
These are both prepositional phrases that also highlight a contrast. They have the same meaning as
(al)though but as they are prepositions they must be followed by nouns.
• Despite not being hurt my mates were really worried.

• In spite of the danger I think I'd do it again.
It is possible to use despite or in spite of before a pronoun by adding the fact.
• Despite the fact I wasn't hurt my mates were really worried.

• In spite of the fact I wasn't hurt my mates were really worried.
EXERCISE: You can have some practice at the following site:

https://elt.oup.com/student/englishfile/intplus/a_grammar/file06/nef_int_grammar_6_03?cc=us& selLanguage=en
REASON
BECAUSE, AS, SINCE (conjunctions)
Obviously the word you will use most is “because” but there are some useful variations.
 I went home early because/as/since I was feeling a bit tired.
BECAUSE OF, DUE TO, OWING TO (prepositions )
We can also use because of, but with a different construction. Compare:
 We always go there because the weather is absolutely wonderful, (because + noun + verb)
 We always go there because of the wonderful weather, (because of + (adjective) + noun)
23
Due to and owing to have the same meaning as because of, but they are more formal, and are often used in
sentences which explain the reason for a problem:
• The plane was late due to bad weather

• Due to / Owing to the power cut last night, I missed the late film on TV.
EXERCISE: Translate the following sentence into English: Actualmente estoy estudiando el Grado
en Educación Primaria porque quiero trabajar como maestro/a.
RESULT
SO, CONSEQUENTLY, THEREFORE, AS A RESULT,
These words introduce a result:
• I left the ticket at home, so I’m afraid I had to buy another one.
• I forgot to send the letters. Consequently, some people didn’t know about the meeting.
• She was extremely hard-working and therefore deserved the promotion.
• Both the manager and his assistant were ill. As a result, there was no-one to take decisions.
Notes:
1.So is the most common, and usually links ideas in a single sentence.
2.As a result and consequently are more formal, and usually connect ideas in two separate sentences (as in
the examples).
3.Therefore (also more formal), can be used in a single sentence (as in the example), but may also connect
two sentences.
EXERCISE: Translate the following sentence into English: El inglés es bastante importante para
trabajar como maestro/a. Por lo tanto, este año estudiaré mucho y tendré una buena nota.

Read about the illness Norovirus. Choose the correct question for each paragraph.
1.How can I avoid dehydration?

2.Should I go and see my doctor?
3.What if my children are infected?
4.When should I see a doctor?
5. What are the signs that I am dehydrated?
6.Should I take any medication?
7.What Is Norovirus?
8. Should I eat anything?
9.How can I stop the disease spreading?
10.How long should I stay at home?
11. Can I get it again if I’d already had it?
12.What are the symptoms?
13. What are the risks?
___________________Norovirus is a common stomach bug. It is also called the Winter Vomiting Bug
because it is more prevalent in winter. It is caused by a very small virus and it is easily passed on from
one person to another.
____________________If you recover from norovirus, there is no reason why you should not catch it again.
The virus changes constantly, so your body cannot build up resistance.
____________________Norovirus causes sickness and diarrhoea. You may also feel headaches, abdominal
pains, or you may have a high temperature.
____________________Although unpleasant, norovirus is not dangerous. Most people make a full

recovery within a couple of days. The biggest danger is from dehydration.
____________________Drink plenty of water. You should drink more than usual to replace fluids lost in
vomit and diarrhoea. An adult should drink around 1.2 litres per day.
____________________Obviously, you will feel thirsty and your mouth will be dry. You may get
headaches or feel dizzy. Your urine will be dark and the quantity of urine small.
____________________You can take Paracetamol or other pain-killers for any aches and pains, but there
are no drugs that eradicate the virus.
____________________No. Because it is highly contagious, you risk passing it on to other people who
are already in a weak state. Stay at home and rest.
____________________Take care to give them plenty of water or fruit juice. You can also use
rehydration salts. Babies can drink milk as usual. If you are pregnant, don’t worry, as there is no risk to
the unborn child.
____________________Only if your symptoms last longer than a few days, or if you are already suffering
from a serious illness.
____________________Yes, but stick to foods which are easy to digest such as soup, bread, rice and pasta.
Avoid spicy foods.

____________________Wash your hands frequently, and avoid putting your fingers in your mouth. Be
aware that the virus can also spread via towels and flannels, so don’t share them. Keep all surfaces clean
and disinfected, not just in the bathroom but in other areas too.
____________________You will be infectious for a few days after your symptoms have passed, so avoid
direct contact with people for at least 48 hours after your symptoms pass. Stay away from work and keep
young children out of school.

GRAMMAR: ZERO AND FIRST CONDITIONALS
ZERO CONDITIONAL7
Introduction: The zero conditional is a structure used for talking about general truths — things which
always happen under certain conditions. This page will explain how the zero conditional is formed, and
when to use it.
1. The structure of a zero conditional sentence: A zero conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an
“if” clause and a main clause (In most zero conditional sentences you can use when or if and the meaning
will stay the same.):
“if” clause main clause
If the “if” clause comes first, a comma is usually used. If the “if” clause comes second, there is no need
for a comma: main clause “if” clause
Water boils if you heat it to 100 degrees

We use the same verb form in each part of a zero conditional: the simple present tense:
“if” clause if + subject + simple present verb main
clause subject + simple present verb
2. Using the zero conditional: The zero conditional is used to talk about things which are always true —
such as scientific facts and general truths:
Example Explanation
If you cross an international date line, the This always happens — every time you time changes. cross a
date line.
FIRST CONDITIONAL8
Introduction: The first conditional (also called conditional type 1) is a structure used for talking about
possibilities in the present or in the future. This page will explain how the first conditional is formed, and
when to use it.
1. The structure of a first conditional sentence: A first conditional sentence consists of two clauses, an "if"
clause and a main clause:
if clause main clause
If you study hard, you will pass the test.

If the "if" clause comes first, a comma is usually used. If the "if" clause comes second, there is no need for
a comma:
main clause if clause
You will pass the test if you study hard.

Shopping in Hong Kong
Ultra-modern, bustling Hong Kong is one of the world’s best shopping cities, an essential visit for all
shopaholics searching for a bargain. There are several areas to choose from. The urban district of Kowloon,
meaning ‘Nine Dragons’, attracts thousands of tourists every year. A popular first stop here is the modern
shopping district, Tsim Tsa Tsui. However, if you prefer to absorb the atmosphere of more traditional
markets then the Yau Ma Tei and Mong Kok districts are probably more your style. A great place to explore
at night is Nathan Road and the surrounding streets, which are filled with flashing neon signs. You can buy
almost anything here. Look out for bargains on electrical goods and jewellery.
It’s possible to buy traditional items in Hong Kong. You can find wedding clothes on Shanghai Street and
shops on Ning Po Street sell the coloured paper models of houses, cars, and bank notes that are burnt at
funerals (when a person dies) so that they’re wealthy in the after-life.
Further along Shanghai Street is the popular night market. It’s full of brightly coloured lights and wonderful
cooking smells. Watch the fortune-tellers whose trained birds choose pieces of paper to predict a person’s
future, and eat delicious noodles, seafood, and other late-night snacks at the inexpensive stalls.
Mong Kok is the place where the famous criminals ‘triad gangs’ are based. As a result most tourists avoid
this area, so it remains mainly Chinese. There are many traditional shops, food stalls and markets. This is
an excellent place to try local foods, which have not been changed to suit tourists’ tastes as they often have
in more popular tourist areas. It’s unlikely to be dangerous for foreigners, so if you’d like to see some of
the more unspoilt areas of Hong Kong, Mong Kok is definitely worth exploring.
One thing is certain about a shopping trip to Hong Kong – you’ll leave with a lot less money than you
arrived with, and a much heavier suitcase!
1 The modern shopping area is in ________.
A Yau Ma Tei B Mong Kok C Kowloon
2 ___________ is an area in Kowloon.

A Tsim Tsa Tsui B Nine Dragons C Yau Ma Tei
3 The writer says that Nathan Road is a good place to ________.

Dreaming of Africa
Luke
I’m studying philosophy, art and history for my A levels at a state secondary school, and I have to make a
decision soon about which university I want to apply to. If I were better at science, I would study zoology
as I have always had an interest in animals. I might study anthropology (the study of different people around
the world) as at least that will give me the chance to travel abroad. As soon as I finish my exams I’m really
keen to go to Uganda. If I could find an animal conservation charity that would let me work for them, I
would like to stay there for a few months. My dream is to work with gorillas one day.
Naomi
Although I spent three months revising for these exams, I’m still worried about the results, which are coming
out soon. Unless I get A grades for all my subjects (maths, chemistry and biology), I won’t get into
university to study medicine.
I’ve had to be really disciplined about everything and I’m not going to celebrate until I know I’ve been
successful. I’m also working at an old people’s home as a volunteer because if I can get lots of practical
experience, that will also improve my chances. When I graduate, I’m determined to work for the medical
charity, Doctors Without Borders, and work in Africa. Jake
It’s my last term at school and I’m taking my A level exams in a month. If I don’t pass them, I don’t really
mind because I’m not very motivated to go on to get a degree. Seven years of secondary education is enough
in my opinion!
If my mum wasn’t so strict about revision, I would be practising the guitar, which I love. When I finish my
exams, I’m going to take up the drums. I’m doing geography, French and music and they’re all subjects
that will be useful in the real world. My dream is to travel around French West Africa and to play and sing
with Youssou N’Dour!

How I got my dream job

Are you still looking for your dream job? Don’t give up. Here’s how three people achieved their goals.
Mario Mendes, 29
I’m doing something I really enjoy. I’m part of a team that develops new technologies. I work with intelligent,
interesting people and occasionally get to travel abroad. I won’t pretend it was easy getting my dream job, but
it was worth the effort. My advice? Decide exactly what your dream job is and what it involves. Learn about
the job. Make contact with companies that could offer your chosen career. Make sure they know your
strengths. You may just get that dream job.
Andy Collins, 46
As a student, I earned $295 a week in cash working in a beach café. At the time, it was my dream job! Later I
became a chef. It was hard work, I was often in a hot kitchen for twelve hours a day, six days a week. But you
have to know the meaning of hard work if you want to achieve your goals. I now own five restaurants around
the U.S. My best advice is to find out what your skills and talents are. Talent is something you’re born with.
Skills are something you’ve learned to do. People like doing things that come naturally to them, so work and
enjoy!
Sarah Cooper, 38
I’d been working as a secretary for three years when I decided to change my career. My work was often boring
and always busy. I started studying to become a teacher. It certainly wasn’t easy; I continued working full-
time to pay for my training at night school. I was exhausted most of the time, but after two years, I finally got
my qualifications and resigned. I’m now a primary school teacher and it’s as good as I imagined. So don’t
wait! Write a list of the things that are stopping you from getting your dream job. Make a plan to deal with
each thing. There’s always an answer.
1 Mario sometimes________.
A enjoys his job B travels abroad C works in a team

The American singer Taylor Swift was also a victim of bullying and wrote the song “Mean” about it.
1-What is the singer’s message with this song?
2.-Find out the colloquial expressions, what do they mean?
VIDEO (WITHOUT LYRICS) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYa1eI1hpDE
VIDEO (LYRICS-SPANISH) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjNr1m8XkWc
You, with your words like knives

And swords and weapons that you use against me
You have knocked me off my feet again
Got me feeling like a nothing
You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard
Calling me out when I'm wounded
You, picking on the weaker man
Well you can take me down with just one single blow But you
don't know, what you don't know...
CHORUS
Someday I'll be living in a big old city
And all you're ever gonna be is mean
Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me And
all you're ever gonna be is mean Why you gotta be
so mean?
You, with your switching sides

And your wildfire lies and your humiliation
You have pointed out my flaws again
As if I don't already see them
I walk with my head down
Trying to block you out 'cause I'll never impress you
I just wanna feel okay again
I bet you got pushed around

Somebody made you cold
But the cycle ends right now
'Cause you can't lead me down that road And you
don't know, what you don't know...
CHORUS
And I can see you years from now in a bar

Talking over a football game
With that same big loud opinion
But nobody's listening
Washed up and ranting about the same old bitter things
Drunk and grumbling on about how I can't sing
But all you are is mean
All you are is mean

And a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life
And mean, and mean, and mean, and mean
Tell a case you have experienced about bullying. How was the problem solved?
You, as a Primary school teacher, how would you react?

VOCABULARY – BEHAVIOUR
Work in pairs. Do the expressions describe positive (P) or negative (N) behaviour?
Tell lies Tell jokes

Get on with someone Fight someone
Laugh at someone Have a laugh together
Hurt someone Help someone
Look after things Damage things
Be kind to someone Be nasty to someone
READING AND SPEAKING: Read the article and answer the questions
1. Where does a lot of bullying happen?
2. Which footballer was bullied at school?
3. What did bullies do to Taylor Swift?
4. Why do people bully?
5. What advice does the writer give to victims of bullying?
BULLYING - IT’S NOT OK
Bullying. Saying horrible things to people, laughing at them, or sending nasty text messages. Refusing to talk
to them or hurting them and damaging their things. It can happen because of your skin, colour, your religion,
or your looks, because you are different, or even because you are a good student.
School should be a place where students feel safe. Unfortunately, it is also a place where bullying happens a
lot. And students who are the victims of bullying feel frightened, lonely and depressed.
There are many famous people that were victims of bullying at school. Would you believe that bullying was
a problem for David Beckham? The American singer Taylor Swift was also a victim of bullying and wrote a
song about it. In the school canteen, the bullies refused to eat with her. But when she became famous the girls
who bullied her wanted her autograph!
People who bully do it for different reasons. They might want to look big or impress their friends, they might
have personal problems, they might not know it is wrong. But that doesn’t make bullying right, of course.
If you are the victim of bullying, or a friend of a victim, don’t try to fight back on your own. You can talk to
a teacher who you know, or tell your parents. And don’t answer nasty text messages. You can report comments
on social networking sites to internet providers and phone companies can block callers, and most schools have
lessons which help students talk about bullying. There are also internet sites and helplines that give advice.
So you are not alone!

READING
Read the article and choose A, B, or C
We interviewed three people about how family and friends have affected their personalities.
Maria Stanovich
I’ve always had a strong relationship with my family. An important influence on my personality was my
grandmother, Hannah. She was born in 1930 into a poor family with seven children – they had to take
very good care of each other in order to survive. Growing up in such difficult conditions had a positive
effect on her, teaching her to share everything, be honest, helpful, hard-working, and affectionate. My
grandmother taught me all these things, making me realize that family is more important than material
possessions.
Katie Dupont
The people around you have the greatest influence on your life – they affect the way you behave and
think. As soon as Rob and I met, we connected. When Rob was young, his father died in a motorcycle
accident. Being brought up as an only child by a single parent made him independent and ambitious.
He left home at 16, and since then has lived in different places and had various jobs. He’s taught me that
it’s important to find time for friends and family and to do what makes you happy. He always has fun,
trying new things, keeping his mind and body healthy, and he still works hard to achieve his goals. I
greatly admire Rob and I hope that one day I can look at life in the way that he does.
Jed Mitchell
I spent many hours as a child listening to my uncle Wilson’s stories. He was the youngest of 11 children
whose family lived in a fishing town in Scotland. Life was hard and with so many mouths to feed, the
children began working from an early age. At just 14, my uncle began his first job as a fisherman. That
was the beginning of his adventures – he travelled and worked in Alaska, South-East Asia, India, and
Africa. He educated himself, learnt to be a chef, an engineer, a farmer, and photographer. Uncle Wilson
taught me that life is special and that you should take every opportunity that you can to fill it with
adventure
1 Maria has a close relationship with her family.

A True B False C Doesn’t say
2. Maria’s grandmother had seven children.

3 Maria’s grandmother is still alive.

4 Growing up in a big family made Maria’s grandmother less selfish.

5 Katie met Rob at work.

6 Katie knew she and Rob would be good friends because they immediately got on well.
7 Katie thinks Rob lives his life in a positive way.

8 Jed’s uncle’s first job was as a chef.

9 Jed thinks people shouldn’t waste any chances in life.
10 Jed would like to travel like his uncle did.

READING
Read the text and choose the correct answer.
ANNOYING ADVICE FOR NEW PARENTS
For parents about to have their first baby, there will be many things in short supply – sleep, for example. One
thing, however, that new parents will not be short of is advice.
Family, friends and even total strangers are always keen to pass on their worldly expertise. And you can’t
escape the self-appointed ‘experts’ on TV, in books, and on the internet. Parents-to-be, be warned!
We all have those competent (often patronising), friends. You know the type. Their life is organized to an
abnormal degree. The right school has been arranged since conception. Their babies have never cried or
thrown up in the car. When you discuss weaning, potty training or getting babies to sleep, they make it clear
that they know everything and you know nothing.
Then there are those whose own life is falling apart but who still offer to share their wisdom with you. They
haven’t spoken to their own children for a decade, but they consider themselves relationship gurus. You
haven’t asked them to advise you, but they drone on endlessly.
The in-laws are another minefield. Before the birth, they promised not to interfere, but at every opportunity
they tell you that they know what your child is thinking: “I’m sure he’s hungry.” “I think he wants to sleep.”
There is the unspoken implication you are not up to the job.
51
Don’t forget the internet of course. Trudy at the gym recommends reading the blog of an ‘expert’ living in
a desert in Idaho, whose advice has the moral authority of a ransom note, whilst Rudy at bookclub suggests
checking out the YouTube video of a French psychologist who is the latest craze. They’re on the internet,
so their advice must be true.
And then there are the parenting books. Behind those covers with cute babies and toddlers making fairy
cakes are hefty manuals worthy of army boot camps. Inside are lists of rules for everything – even advising
you to open the curtains promptly at 8.23am.
But don’t despair. There are some useful bits of advice out there: they propose being realistic from the start,
they warn you to forget having a social life; and suggest giving up such cherished ideals as never allowing
your child to eat chocolate or watch TV before they are one year old. There are also excellent practical tips
for new mums and dads: if visitors offer to make tea, accept; sleep when baby sleeps and forget the
housework .Perhaps the best advice is to ignore all advice and do it your own way.
1) Choose the correct answer to complete the sentence: New parents can expect…
a) … a lot of sleep and not much advice.
b) … not much sleep and not much advice.
c) … not much sleep and a lot of advice.
2) Find a synonym for “organized” (paragraph 3): _________________
3) Which of the following terms best defines the meaning of the word “unspoken” (line 14)
in the text?
a) not said
b) implicit
c) unexpressed
4) Does the writer of the article admire those parents who are super-organized?
a) Yes
b) No
c) It doesn’t say
5) Does the writer of the article think that the blog Trudy recommends reading offers good or
bad advice?
a) Good advice
b) Bad advice
c) It doesn’t say
6) What does the word “hefty” (line 20) mean in the text?
a) heavy
b) boring
c) unreadable
7) What, according to the article’s writer, do parenting books contain?

a) Recipes for making cakes
b) Instructions for hanging curtains
c) Lots of rules
8) Which of the following is not true?

a) The article recommends ignoring all advice.
b) Some people suggest that new parents make a cup of tea when the baby sleeps.
c) Some people tell you to accept offers of help.
d) Some people warn you that having a baby means giving up your social life.
