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

REVISION: You learned how to use a present simple tense last year. Complete the grid below!

PRESENT

FORM

simple

EXAMPLES

The infinitive form of the verb. For the third person singular the s-form is used. To talk about a present period. We don’t see the action as going on, but simply as a fact. Every day, I study English grammar. (to study) He never studies English grammar. (to study)

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!

Regular verbs: -ed Irregular verbs have different forms.

EXAMPLES

Ø Have a look at the grammar topic past simple tense statements in your TB, p. 55-56 and complete the grammar rules below! The negative form of to be is was not/wasn’t, were not/weren’t The negative form of can is could not/couldn’t The negative form of the verb to have (got) is did not have/didn’t have To form a negative statement with ordinary verbs, we use did not/didn’t followed by the infinitive form of the ordinary verb.

Ø Have a look at the list of irregular verbs in your TB, p. 201-203. Study them carefully! For now, you only need to focus on the infinitive, past form and translation of the verbs. It is very important to know the list of irregular verbs by heart because the verbs that are in the list are used so often. That is why your teacher will start the next (few) lesson(s) with a small competition. What do you need to do? 1 2

Study the list at home. Stand behind your desk and wait for your turn. (The teacher will ask all students, one after the other, one question about the irregular verbs.)

All the things you'd say, they were never true

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

TIPS ON HOW TO STUDY VOCABULARY

Find a place to work without any distractions.

Read words in context (example sentences) and make sure you understand all the words. ! If you don’t understand the word in its context, look it up in a dictionary or online. ! The same goes for Dutch words you don’t know yet.

Memorize the words. ENGLISH à DUTCH DUTCH à ENGLISH

! Spread your work, e.g. by studying 10-20 words per day.

Say the (English) words out loud. Make sure you know how to pronounce them. ! If you don’t know how to pronounce a certain word, look it up online.

e.g. on the website http://howjsay.com

Write all the words down until you know how to spell them correctly (at least 3 times!). ! To test yourself, ask one of your parents/friends/siblings to read a few words out loud that you then write down correctly.

Check whether you can use the words in a context by building sentences with the words you have just studied.

Revise. A lot! Generally, you can get words from your short-term memory into your long-term memory by studying them over and over again. Think of it as a necessary investment in the future.
