Reconstruct the storyline. Then, listen to the song to check your answers.

She swam by me, she got a cramp – he went by me, got my suit damp

I saved her life, she nearly drowned – he showed off, splashing around

Summer sun, something’s begun, but uh – oh those summer nights

It turned colder, that’s where it ends – so I told her we’d still be friends

Then we made our true love vow – wonder what she’s doing now

Summer dreams ripped at the seams, but oh, those summer nights

He got friendly, holding my hand – well she got friendly, down in the sand

He was sweet, just turned eighteen – well she was good, you know what I mean

Summer heat, boy and girl meet, but uh-oh, those summer nights

Took her bowling in the Arcade – we went strolling, drank lemonade

We made out under the dock – we stayed out until 10 o’clock

Summer fling, don’t mean a thing, but uh-oh, those summer nights

Summer loving had me a blast – summer loving happened so fast

I met a girl, crazy for me – I met a boy, cute as can be

Summer days drifting away, to uh-oh those summer nights

NEW TENSE: Have a good look at the verb forms of the lyrics on p. 1 that are printed in bold. Do these verbs refer to the past, present or future? What is special about the verb forms? Some verb forms end with –ed, others have a completely different form.

Ø Have a look at the grammar topic past simple tense statements in your TB, p. 55-56 and complete the grid below!

IV A

A holiday experience

[RC + WA (+OA)]

Read the text below carefully.

The Horror! Last summer Michael and Kevin were halfway through a three month trek through Europe when they had a horrible experience in Budapest. Read Michael’s story below. It started on the train from Vienna when an Australian girl tried to sell us a voucher to one of the hostels in the city. She said it was the ‘party hostel’ of Budapest. She swore it was clean and safe and since she was a fellow backpacker we trusted her. Our trip went quickly downhill after we arrived in the hostel. Our room was in the basement, the window was half kicked out, garbage was all over the floor and I'm sure there were other unwanted houseguests crawling around. We hightailed it out of there. I heard from a lot of other backpackers afterwards that they also ran into trouble when they stepped into the ‘party hostel’, which belongs to a network of 12 hostels in Budapest. Another warning for tourists is that you have to be careful with the metro in that city. I know in Prague a lot of people who were tricked with free tram rides but in Budapest there are inspectors everywhere who target tourists deliberately. A lot of backpackers forget to validate their ticket after they buy it. When you change lines you have to revalidate it. Inspectors regularly hand out fines and when you are on a tight travel budget, it hurts. After leaving the terrible resort we took the metro to a highly recommended hostel ‘The Station’. Bought our tickets, got them validated. A metro inspector stopped me, asked for my ticket, said I didn't pay, even though I validated it a few minutes ago, and demanded money. Then he started demanding my passport and credit card. We weren't stupid and told him to bring us to his office. Other backpackers warned me to watch out for people who dress up in uniforms, call themselves police, and then rip off naive tourists. Basically, he wanted us to give him some cash, since he was an actual metro inspector. You can't argue with the system. Then we got back on the metro and we almost got mugged. Two young men cornered my friend without him

knowing and one of them slipped his hand underneath his packs, and down his jeans to try to get his money belt. Luckily my friend noticed it and got away. Meanwhile, I got into trouble with a group of guys who were trying to rip me off too. My partner in crime pulled me out of the gang and dragged me off at the next stop. All this occurred between only two stops on the metro. No scars but we really didn't get a good impression of Budapest. The baths are worth it and I highly recommend ‘The Station’. They meet you at the train station and show you how to use the metro. It's a new place and the people who work there are really nice.

Answer the questions. 1

Are the following statements true or false? Tick the correct box and justify your answers by referring to the text4.

Michael and Kevin were on the road for almost 6 weeks when they arrived in Budapest. 1

The origin of Halloween

[LC + CULTURE]

Watch the clip about the history of Halloween and answer the questions below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-VRAemIvbI

What is a prank (e.g. Children like to do funny pranks on Halloween.)?

A trick of an amusing, playful, or sometimes malicious nature.

Who were the first people to celebrate Halloween? The Celts.

What happened on October 31 more than 2000 years ago?

The Celts celebrated the end of the harvest season with a festival. The same night also marked the Celtic new year and was considered a time between years.

Why did the Pagans light fires on October 31?

The transition from one year to another caused the ghosts of the dead to walk the earth, according to the Celts. With fire, they could drive the dead back to the spirit world.

When did Halloween begin to merge with Catholic festivals? In the 7th century.

Explain the origin of the word Halloween.

‘Hallowmas’ was the name that was given to All Saints’ Day back then. ‘Hallow’ means ‘holy’, so mass of the saints. The evening before Hallowmas was known as All Hallow’s Eve, which morphed into Halloween.

Who introduced the holiday to the United States? When was that?

The wave of Irish immigrants during the Potato Famine of the 1840s2.

What was the link between Halloween and crime in the 1930s?

Where in the early days, kids did harmless tricks, they really started vandalizing people’s homes during the 1930s. People then started bribing these little rascals by giving them treats. That’s where ‘trick or treat’ comes from.

What is ‘bobbing for apples’? Catching an apple with your teeth from a tub of water.

The Great Famine or the Great Hunger was a period of mass starvation, disease, and emigration in Ireland between 1845 and 1852. It is sometimes referred to as the Irish Potato Famine, because about two-fifths of the population was solely reliant on potatoes for a number of historical reasons. During the famine, approximately one million people died and a million more emigrated from Ireland, causing the island's population to fall by between 20% and 25%.

VIII The Canterville Ghost

[RC]

Read the story below. After each chapter, do what is asked.

Chapter I When the American, Mr Otis, bought Canterville Castle, everyone told him that this was very foolish, as the place was haunted. But Mr Otis answered, “I come from a modern country, where we have everything that money can buy. And if there were such a thing as a ghost in Europe, we would have it at home in one of our museums.” A few weeks later, on a lovely July evening, Mr Otis, his wife and their children, Washington, Virginia and the twins, went down to their new home. When they entered the avenue of Canterville Castle, the sky suddenly became dark and a spooky stillness was in the air. Mrs Umney, the housekeeper, led them into the library of the castle, where they sat down and began to look around. Suddenly, Mrs Otis saw a red stain on the floor just by the fireplace and said to Mrs Umney, “I am afraid something has been spilt there.” “Yes, madam,” said the old housekeeper in a low voice, “blood has been spilt on that spot.” “How terrible,” said Mrs Otis; “I don't want any bloodstains in my sitting room. It must be removed at once.” The old woman smiled and answered, “It is the blood of Lady Eleanore de Canterville, who was murdered on that spot by her husband, Sir Simon de Canterville, in 1575. Sir Simon disappeared seven years later. His body has never been found, but his ghost still haunts the Castle. The bloodstain is a tourist attraction now and it cannot be removed.” “That is all nonsense,” said Washington, the eldest son of the Otis family, “stain remover will clean it up in no time,” and he took a bottle of stain remover out of his pocket and cleaned the spot. But as soon as the bloodstain had disappeared, a terrible flash of lightning lit up the room and a fearful peal of thunder made the whole building shake.

In the text on the previous page, three words have been highlighted. These are words that are often written incorrectly. Do you know why? were: past of ‘to be’ vs. where: Where were you yesterday? children: 1 child, 2 children (no –s!) + mind spelling! woman: (singular form) The woman in the shop was very nice. vs. women: (plural form) All the women I know are beautiful. + 1 man, 2 men

Chapter II Paragraph 1

There was a horrible storm that night, but apart from that nothing scary happened. The next morning, however, when the family came down to breakfast, they found the terrible stain of blood once again on the floor. Washington cleaned it a second time, but the second morning it appeared again. The third morning it was there, too, although the library had been locked up at night by Mr Otis himself. Paragraph 2

The following night, all doubts about the existence of the ghost were finally removed forever. At eleven 53

o'clock the family went to bed and some time after, Mr Otis was awakened by a strange noise in the corridor, outside his room. It sounded like the clank of metal, and it came nearer every moment. Mr Otis got up and looked at the time. It was exactly one o'clock. So Mr Otis put on his slippers, went to the door and opened it. There, right in front of him, stood the ghost – his eyes were as red as burning coals; long grey hair fell over his shoulders and from his wrists and ankles hung heavy chains. Paragraph 3

“My dear Sir,” said Mr Otis, “you must oil those chains. It's impossible to sleep with such a noise going on outside the bedrooms. I have therefore brought you this bottle of lubricator, and I will be happy to supply you with more if you require it.” With these words Mr Otis laid the bottle down, closed his door and went back to bed. Paragraph 4

Shocked, the Canterville ghost stood quite motionless for a moment, but then he growled angrily. Just at this moment, the twins appeared on the corridor and threw a large pillow at him! The ghost hastily escaped through the wall, and the house became quiet again. Paragraph 5

When the ghost reached his small secret chamber, he took a deep breath. No ghost in history had ever been treated in this manner!

D Draw what happens in paragraph 2.

Chapter III The ghost did not appear for the rest of the week. The only strange thing that happened was the bloodstain, which they found on the library floor every morning. It was also quite strange that the colour of the stain changed from time to time. Some mornings it was red, then brown or purple, or even green. These changes amused the family very much, and bets on the colour were made every evening. The only person who did not enter into the joke was Virginia. For some unexplained reason, she was rather annoyed at the sight of the bloodstain, and nearly cried the morning it was green. The second appearance of the ghost was on Sunday night. Shortly after the family had gone to bed they heard a fearful crash in the hall. A suit of armour had fallen on the floor and in a chair sat the Canterville ghost and rubbed his knees, which seemed to hurt. When the twins started shooting peas at him with their pea shooters, the ghost stood up with an angry growl and passed through them like a mist. He also blew out the candle, leaving them all in total darkness. On top of the stairs the ghost turned around and, in order to frighten the Otis boys, laughed his most horrible laugh. Just then, a door opened and Mrs Otis came out of her bedroom. “I am afraid you are not well,” she said, “I have therefore brought you this bottle of medicine.” The ghost looked at her furiously, and then he disappeared. When he reached his room, he was completely exhausted. This American family was extremely annoying. But what annoyed him most was, that he had not been able to wear the suit of armour. The weight of it had 55

made him fall and hurt his knees. For some days after this the ghost only left his room to renew the bloodstain. However, on Friday, the 17th of August, he tried to frighten the Otis family again. At half past ten the family went to bed. For some time the ghost heard the twins laugh, but at a quarter past eleven all was still. So, at midnight he left his secret chamber and glided through the corridors, when suddenly, behind one corner, a horrible ghost stood right in front of him. As the Canterville ghost had never seen another ghost before, he was terribly frightened. He quickly hurried back to his room. But then he thought that he should go and speak to the other ghost. After all, two ghosts were better than one, and his new friend might help him to frighten the twins. However, when he came back to the spot, he found that this 'other ghost' was not real, but only a white sheet which the twins had hung there to play a trick on him. Very upset the Canterville ghost went back to his chamber.

Chapter IV For five days, the ghost did not leave his room. He was very weak and tired and his nerves were completely shattered. He also gave up the point of the bloodstain on the library floor. If the Otis family did not want it, they clearly did not deserve it. Whenever the Canterville ghost roamed the house now, he was careful to have oiled his chains and not to make a sound. However, the twins still played their tricks on him. They stretched strings across the corridor, over which he tripped in the dark, and once he slipped on a butter slide, which the twins had constructed for him on the staircase. This so annoyed the ghost that he decided to teach the twins a lesson and give them the fright of their lives. All day long the ghost had prepared this grand event and at a quarter past one at night he finally glided out of his room and crept down the corridor. When he reached the twins' bedroom, he found the door slightly open. In order to frighten the boys enormously, he flung the door wide open, when a heavy jug of water fell right down on him, wetting him to the skin. The twins burst out in shrieks of laughter and the ghost fled. He now gave up all hope of ever frightening this rude American family and, as he was very afraid of the twins, from now on he crept around the house as quietly as possible. One night, it was on the 19th of September, he went downstairs to see if there were any traces left of the blood stain. It was about a quarter past two in the morning, and he thought that everyone was fast asleep, when suddenly from a dark corner two figures came running at him who waved their arms wildly above their heads and shouted “BOO!” in his ear. Full of panic, which under the circumstances was only natural, the ghost hurried back to his room. After this he was not seen again at night. His feelings were so wounded that he just did not appear anymore.

Chapter V One day, Virginia was walking along the corridor, when she saw a person in one of the rooms and went in. To her surprise, it was the Canterville ghost himself and he looked really sad. “I am so sorry for you,” she said, “but my brothers are going back to Eton3 tomorrow, and then, if you behave yourself, no one will annoy you.” “It is absurd asking me to behave myself,” the ghost answered, “I must rattle my chains, and groan through 3 Eton College = an English boarding school for boys in Eton, Birkshire (UK). It’s considered to be a posh school.

keyholes, and walk about at night. It is my only reason for existing.” “It is no reason at all for existing, and you know you have been very nasty. Mrs Umney told us that you had killed your wife.” “Well, I quite admit it,” said the ghost, “but my wife was not very nice, you know, and she knew nothing about cookery. However, it is all over now, and I don't think it was very nice of her brothers to starve me to death.” “Starve you to death? Oh, Mr Ghost, I mean Sir Simon, are you hungry? I have a sandwich in my case. Would you like it?” “No, thank you, I never eat anything now; but it is very kind of you. You are much nicer than the rest of your rude, dishonest family.” “Stop!” cried Virginia, stamping her foot, “it is you who are rude, and as for dishonesty, you stole the paints out of my box to renew that ridiculous blood stain in the library. First you took all my reds and I couldn't do any more sunsets, then you took the green and the yellow. Finally I had nothing left but blue and white, and I could only do moonlight scenes, which are not at all easy to paint.” Having said this, Virginia turned around to leave the room. “Please don't go, Miss Virginia,” the ghost cried; “I am so unhappy and I really don't know what to do. I want to go to sleep and I cannot. I have not slept for three hundred years, and I am so tired.” “Poor, poor Ghost,” she murmured; “have you no place where you can sleep?” “Well, I know a place where I could sleep – it's the Garden of Death, the churchyard. But only if you weep for me and my sins and pray with me for my soul, the Angel of Death will have mercy on me.” When Virginia promised to help the ghost and pray for him, he rose from his seat, took her hand and kissed it thankfully. Then he led her across the room. Virginia saw the wall slowly fading away like a mist, and a bitter cold wind was around them. “Quick, quick,” cried the ghost, “or it will be too late.” Then the wall closed behind them, and the chamber was empty.

Answer the following questions about the content.

Why is the ghost so sad? He can’t scare the American family and he is afraid of the twins.

What is his only reason for existing? Rattling his chains, groaning through keyholes and walking about at night. 58

Which reasons does the ghost give for killing his wife? She wasn’t very nice and knew nothing about cookery.

In chapter 3 you read that ‘The only person who did not enter into the joke was Virginia. For some unexplained reason, she was rather annoyed at the sight of the bloodstain, and nearly cried the morning it was green.” This is explained now. How? The ghost stole the paints out of her box to renew the bloodstain in the library.

Chapter VI About ten minutes later, the bell rang for dinner, and, as Virginia did not come down, Mrs Otis sent up one of the servants. After a little time he returned and said that he could not find Miss Virginia anywhere. So, the whole family started looking for her. The hours passed, but they could find no trace of Virginia. So, after dinner, Mr Otis ordered them all to bed, saying that nothing more could be done that night, and that he would contact Scotland Yard4 in the morning. Just when everybody was about to leave the dining room, the clock struck midnight, and when the last stroke sounded, a secret door opened in the wall and in that door stood Virginia with a little box in her hand. Everybody ran up to her. “Good heavens! Child, where have you been?” said Mr Otis, rather angrily, as he thought she had been playing a trick on them. “Papa,” said Virginia quietly, “I have been with the ghost. He is dead, and you must come and see him. He had been very nasty, but he was really sorry for all that he had done, and he gave me this box of beautiful jewels before he died.” Then she led the others down a narrow secret corridor to a little low room. There the family found the skeleton of Sir Simon, who had been starved to death by his wife's brothers. Virginia knelt down beside the skeleton, and, folding her little hands together, began to pray silently. Meanwhile, one of the twins was looking out of the window in the little room and suddenly said, “Look! The old almond tree has blossoms.” “Then God has forgiven him,” said Virginia and stood up.

H In the text above, one word has been highlighted. This word is often written incorrectly. Do you know why? whole: The whole class was working hard. vs. hole: There’s a hole in the ground.

Chapter VII Four days later, a funeral started from Canterville Castle. In a quiet corner of the churchyard, Sir Simon's skeleton was buried. When the ceremony was over, Virginia stepped forward and laid a large cross, made of white and pink almond blossoms, on the coffin. The next morning, Mr Otis talked to Sir Simon's descendant, Sir Canterville, about the jewels the ghost had given to Virginia. Their value was so great that Mr Otis had scruples about allowing his daughter to keep them. But Sir Canterville shook his hand and said, “My dear Sir, your charming little daughter saved my ancestor's soul. The jewels are hers.” The jewels were admired by everyone when, in the spring of 1890, Virginia married the Duke of Cheshire. After their honeymoon, Virginia and her husband went down to Canterville Castle and on the day after their arrival they walked over to the churchyard. Virginia had brought some lovely roses, which she strewed upon the grave, and after they had stood by it for some time her husband took her hand. “You have never told me what happened to you when you were locked up with the ghost.” “Please don't ask me, I cannot tell you,” she said, “but I owe Sir Simon a great deal. He made me see what Life is and what Death signifies, and why Love is stronger than both.” I

52 jobs in 52 weeks (extra)

[RC, WA]

Read the text below. Use a dictionary to look up words you don’t understand.

52 Jobs in 52 Weeks Asked what he wanted to be, Sean Aiken used to tell people he was going to become a physiotherapist. He didn't know exactly what that entailed, he acknowledges, but it "sounded cool."

But then he found himself graduating from business school with a sense of trepidation. He was on the verge of "real life" and still unsure what he wanted to do with it. After his father confessed to never finding passion in his work, Mr. Aiken committed to an unusual journey: He would work anywhere, doing 52 jobs in a year and donating his wages to charity. "I promised myself that I would find something I loved doing," the Vancouverite told students recently at Saint Mary's University in Halifax. d

The highs, the lows and the lessons learned during the year from February, 2007, to March, 2008 – including that "it's surprisingly difficult to dress a mannequin" – are detailed in his book One-Week Job, out this week. Mr. Aiken sat down with The Globe and Mail7 to talk about his experience. d

You graduated top of your class with a business degree. Why didn't you end up on Bay Street8 instead of dabbling as a bungee instructor, baker and bartender? I started out in sciences. I was thinking about being a physiotherapist or getting into rehabilitation. I took a business course and I found I could really relate it to the real world. I thought business would allow me to keep the options open. So I wasn't too sure exactly what career path I wanted to take, whether I wanted to be on Bay Street or another job. Many take the year after school to go travel and try different things. I guess One-Week Job was my way of doing that.

What did you learn about yourself? Many things. I'm not a very good yoga instructor. I guess the biggest thing is I got a lot of confidence. To put myself, week in and week out, in these challenging situations, most often in a job I'd never done before. I guess just kind of testing my abilities, and knowing I have the skill set that I could step into any situation and learn and make do.

7 8

The Globe and The Mail are Canadian newspapers. Bay Street is the financial district of Toronto (a major city in Canada). (You can compare it with Wall Street in New York.)

How did you find and choose the jobs? Our information was on the website and people would e-mail or call with offers. I chose based on what the job sounded like, whether I'd be learning something or not.

What were some of the jobs you turned down or, in retrospect, wish you had turned down? One job I turned down was working for Naked News in Toronto. The job was to be a news anchor: As I was delivering the news, I'd have to take off my clothes.

Were there jobs you liked, that helped clarify what you want to do in quote unquote real life? I worked in Toronto at the Steam Whistle brewery and the corporate culture there is just amazing. They really respect their employees and, in return, their employees are really happy to be there. I really enjoyed that perspective. In business school, we were always focused on the bottom line, we had this idea that, in order to get ahead, it almost has to be at the expense of others.

So it was good to work at a company like Steam Whistle and see how they're involved in the community and how that helps their business. Other ones â&#x20AC;&#x201C; specifically, working in a cubicle job â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I found that I definitely could not see myself in an office environment all the time. So basically, each week I was able to take little pieces of what I was looking for in a career.

Any jobs that put them all together? There are a few. I think I'd definitely like to be a teacher and a real-estate agent. I'm not sure in what order.

How much time did you spend actually doing the job? When you were a yoga instructor, for example, how long did you have to spend learning it before you could teach a class? Monday through Thursday, I did six hours of yoga class a day. Sometimes I participated in the class, other times I would sit in the corner and take notes. On Friday, I stood up and taught the course myself. That was a really hard week. It was incredibly difficult and I was very sore afterwards. The next week, I was a dairy farmer and I definitely still felt the soreness, even a few weeks after that.

What advice would you give a young person, someone close to graduation? I would say, "Don't focus on the title." It's so easy to say you want to be a doctor, teacher, whatever, but you don't think about what actually makes up the career. I would say to focus more on yourself and learning more about the types of situations in the workplace you need to be happy. And then start

putting it together and see what jobs come out of it. The most important thing is to do something you love. OLIVER MOORE The Globe and Mail Abbreviated from the original version

Now try to solve the following questions. a) Explain the underlined words by using them in a correct English sentence. 1 dabbling to do something with (some) difficulties 2

learn and make do

to learn something (e.g. a job) by actually doing it (not by studying or watching others) 3

turned down

declined, not accepted 4

in retrospect

in looking back at what happened, in considering the past (events) 5

cubicle job

a job in which you have just a small compartment in an office to work in (it mainly just contains a desk and chair + computer) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normally a square (cubic) 6

real estate agent

a person who is paid to sell houses 7

dairy farmer

someone working on a dairy farm, a farm that mainly produces milk (products) b) Why are employees of the Steam Whistle brewery so happy? Explain in your own words.

The Steam Whistle brewery has a different view on the traditional business idea that people need to profit from others in order to make promotion. They actually respect every person working there, not only the ones with a higher-ranking job.

c) Why did he choose to try so many jobs? Explain in your own words.

Because he didn’t really know what to do after he graduated from business school. He wanted to try out some things before settling for something definite. d) Which advice does he give young people? Explain in your own words.

Don’t be too focused on titles (e.g. ‘doctor’). The most important thing is that you like doing your job! e) Do you know which job you would like to do in the future? Would you be interested in trying 52 jobs in 52 weeks? Why (not)?

Family Guy

[LC + VOC + GRA]

Watch part of an episode of Family Guy in which the Griffins meet the Simpsons and answer the questions below orally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywmhnXMWamY a) Why does Homer think he and Peter will definitely get along? b) What’s a prank phone call? c) Explain why Homer and Peter start arguing. Now read the text below and try to fill in the missing nouns. Family Guy is about the adventures of the Griffin family, consisting of (the) father Peter, a well-intentioned blue collar worker; stay-at-home mother, mom/mum (BrE) and piano teacher Lois; Meg, their awkward teenage daughter who is constantly ridiculed and ignored by her family; Chris, their teenage son, who is overweight, unintelligent and a younger version of his father in many respects; and Stewie, their infant son of ambiguous sexual orientation who has adult mannerisms and uses stereotypical phrases. Explain the underlined words in the text. Mark the pronouns indicating possession in the text. Ø Have a look at the grammar topic genitive possessive case in your TB p. 181 and pronouns in your TB p. 131 and 182. Complete the following text with the correct pronoun or genitive form. Chris Griffin is Peter and Lois’/Lois’s son and Meg and Stewie’s brother. He’s a pretty innocent teenager who feels self-conscious, especially about his weight. Meg Griffin’s insecurities cause her desperately to try to be part of the cool crowd. One time Chris read her diary and when she found out, he claimed he didn’t know it was hers! Brian is the family’s dog. He is theirs. He is also one of the show’s icons. He can talk, walks on his hind legs, drives a car, and writes novels, screenplays, and essays. All members of 1

the family love their dog. Brian wears a collar. The collar is his, it belongs to him and its colour is red. Do you have a large family? I don’t think mine/yours is as large as yours/mine/theirs. The members of the Griffin family aren’t always that tidy as you can tell from the following conversation. Read through the conversation with your neighbour and fill in the missing pronouns. Chris: Where are my trousers and where is my pullover? I can’t find them. Meg: What colour are they? Chris: A pair of black jeans and a green pullover. Meg: How about this pair of trousers? Are they yours? Chris: Ah, yes. They are mine. And here is my pullover. Thank you, Meg. Lois: I’m looking for my skirt and shoes. Stewie: Is this your skirt, Mum? Lois: Not this skirt, no. Mine is dark blue. This must be Meg’s. She often wears this kind of skirt. It’s hers, I think. Ah, here is my skirt. And now, my shoes. They are black, with a low heel. Stewie: Black with a low heel. Could these be your shoes? Lois: I think so, yes. Let me try them on. Yes, these are my shoes. Meg: Where are my glasses. I put them in their case and I laid them here on this windowsill. I can hardly see without them. Peter: I’ll help you look. What colour is your case? Meg: Purple. Peter: A purple case with glasses. Is this your case, perhaps? It’s a purple one, with glasses. Meg: Let me see. Yes, this is definitely my case and these are my glasses. What a relief! Lois: And now the mobiles. The boys put them all together in the closet in the hallway. But where are they? I think somebody collected their mobiles and hid them somewhere. Brian, did you do that? Brian: I have no idea where their mobile phones are. I carry mine with me. Let’s go and look for them together. 2

Explain the difference between there, their and they’re on the lines below. Use the words in a sentence to clarify the difference. there = the opposite of here (Dutch: daar) / there is, there are = er is/er zijn e.g.: There are 22 pupils in the classroom. their = possessive pronoun, it shows something belongs to them (Dutch: hun) e.g.: The books are on their desks. they’re = short form of ‘they are’ e.g.: They’re studying English. Explain the difference between it’s, and its on the lines below. Use the words in a sentence to clarify the difference. it's = short form of ‘it is’ e.g.: It’s a beautiful day. its = possessive pronoun; it shows something belongs to it (Dutch: van het) e.g.: The dog had hurt its paw.

Complete the following sentences with there, their, they’re, it’s, or its. a) Are the teachers having their meeting now? b) They’re planning a holiday to Spain. c) There is a cat in the garden. d) She has lived there for ten years. e) They haven't got their umbrellas. f) The children's coats are there. g) What is that dog doing there?

The ceremony lost all its suspense. 2 Efforts were made to prevent people from knowing the names of the winners in advance. The winners’ names have been a closely guarded secret until the official announcement at the Award Ceremony. 3 The film stars do not have to buy the clothes they are wearing for the occasion. Fashion designers loan clothes to the stars to gain publicity. 4 Television stations all over the world broadcast the ceremony.

“Please welcome the wickedly talented, one and only, Adele Dezeem.”

“Let’s get serious. There were some majorly amazing moments from this year’s presenters.”

“Doesn't this just remind you of how ridiculously talented Jamie Fox is? Those sound effects were pretty impressive, if I do say so myself in my most humble opinion.”

“He’s making fun of Bruce Dern’s superpowered facial expressions and it’s absolutely hilarious. And Bruce Dern and his daughter, Laura Dern, were cracking up too, so obviously it was a huge success.”

“Why are you laughing? Is this funny?” Ø Mark the adjectives and adverbs in the quotes above. Ø Do you know the difference between an adjective and an adverb? Try to describe it on the lines below.

Actors and actresses

[RC + GRA]

Read part of an interview with actress Georgia Taylor1 and find out what an actress’ job is really like off the stage and screen. Can you tell us a bit about your job?

My job involves working in television, film, theatre and occasionally radio, playing a variety of characters while collaborating with a team of people, including a director, writer and producer. In between acting jobs I sometimes spend my time auditioning for new roles. What's a typical working day like?

There is no such thing as a typical day in this industry but I can talk about my latest job on ITV2’s Lewis as an example. Every day I usually arrived on location in Oxfordshire just before 7 a.m., in time for an hour in costume and make-up before an 8 a.m. filming start. My day always involved shooting a handful of scenes, with breaks when I wasn't required for that particular scene. Filming normally wrapped at 7pm and I was driven home where I looked over my lines for the next day's filming.

Mark the adverbs that indicate how often things in Georgia’s life happen. Explain the underlined words orally. Follow this scheme in order to use adverbs of frequency correctly: § With to be: adverb after the verb

INJURIES A

[RC + VOC + OA]

Read the text about a mountain climber and the injuries he received while climbing a mountain in Switzerland. Afterwards, answer the questions below.

One of the nastiest experiences in my life was the day when I wanted to climb a mountain on my own in Switzerland. The fact that I decided to do that was already proof positive that I had no experience at all. I had taken just a few lessons with an experienced guide and I thought I could manage. I had the necessary equipment, I thought, and the mountain I wanted to climb was described as “for beginners”. It was not too high. Some 3 or 4 hundred metres high. So I thought OK. I’ll do that. But I had overlooked some important information. It read: under the guidance of an experienced climber. The first hundred metres went well. The terrain was not too demanding. But just when I began to feel the pressure in my arms and in my legs, the slope became steeper, almost perpendicular. Fortunately this mountain had been prepared by the local climbers and I found enough hooks in the rock to fasten myself and prevent me from falling down more than some 20 metres. But then, suddenly, I missed a step, slid back and actually fell some 20 metres deep and swung to and fro. I hurt my head against the rock, so I had a bump on it, my nose started bleeding and my back ached terribly. In an effort to protect myself I tried to grasp a point in the rock, but missed. Now my right hand was also wounded and I felt I had a sprained ankle too. When I finally came to a standstill, I looked down and saw the abyss under me: more than two hundred metres deep. I panicked. But I was lucky. An experienced guide had watched me climb and he realised that I was an absolute beginner. He climbed up as fast as he could and guided me further up, because descending was not an option there. He was calm and self assured and did not blame me as long as we were climbing. But once we were on top of the slope, he told me never to try such a thing again. 1. How high was the Swiss mountain the speaker wanted to climb? Some 3 or 4 hundred metres. 2. How could you see that the mountain had already been prepared by the local climbers? There were enough hooks to fasten yourself. 3. Name 5 injuries the speaker received after he had missed a step. He had a bump on his head, a bleeding nose, his back ached, his hand was wounded, and he had a sprained ankle. 15

4. How deep was the abyss under him when the speaker finally came to a standstill? More than 200 metres deep. 5. What did an experienced guide do to rescue him? He climbed up and guided him further up. 6. What did the guide tell him once they were at the top of the slope?

â&#x20AC;&#x153;You should never try such a thing again.â&#x20AC;? B

Write down the correct words for the injuries next to the corresponding numbers.

[11] = a bump on the head

[13] = a dislocated shoulder

[12] = a bleeding nose

[14] = a broken arm

[15] = a cut (in his) finger

[16] = a twisted elbow

[17] = a black eye [18] = a scratched face [19] = a bruised knee [20] = a sprained ankle Have you ever had a minor or serious injury? Share your story with your classmates! 16
