(7)_______ for the care of oneself, another person, or one's job.

Another lesson that a child can learn from (8)_______ a dog is how to be empathetic. Empathy is the

The White House

Task 1: Recognizing Relative Clauses

One of the most famous buildings in the world is the White House, which is the official
home of the US president. The White House is in Washington DC where there are many other
important buildings and monuments. The city was founded in 1790 and was deliberately planned
as a national capital. George Washington, who was the first US president and whose name was
given to the city, wanted it to be the place where the nation’s government would permanently
reside.

The White House was built in pale grey sandstone. The color of the stone was so different
from the surrounding red brick building so the mansion became known as the White House. The
main building is part of a large complex that consists of over 130 rooms. Most of those rooms are
used for official matters to host the guests whom the president invites from all over the world.

People find the White House fascinating and that is the reason why the parts of the complex
that are open to the public are toured every year by one and a half million people who want to see
the place. The White House is mostly visited in spring and summer when the weather is the finest.

Digital Habits Across Generations

Today's grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media, but the different

Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site's second biggest user
group, with 3.5 million users aged 55–64 and 2.9 million over-65s.

years. 'We use Facebook to arrange to meet all over the country,' she says. 'It's changed my social

reports that he 6. ___________ his laptop constantly before he decided to break this useless habit.
'I was always connected and I felt like I was always working,' he says. 'How 7. ____________ I

since to sum up

With 21st Century developments in technology, everyone should get a university education. A
university education can help each individual to have a job. What is your opinion?
Technology has changed rapidly in the 21st Century, and there is no doubt that changes will
happen in the future at an even faster pace. Our country has many unskilled workers who do
not have jobs. If they had more skills, they might be able to find work. However, not all useful
skills are learned at a university. In my opinion, 1) _______________ we need more people to
get a university education, not everyone needs a university education, but everyone should have
useful skills.
Firstly, our country needs more university graduates, particularly in science and technology, to
become one of the most developed countries in the world. To do this, we must 2)
_______________ educate our own citizens or persuade educated people to move here from
other countries. Turkey needs more businesses to be successful 3) _______________ everyone
can find a job. If we have more university students getting business degrees, business will
improve. If we are to persuade educated people to move to Turkey, business must improve.
Also, we need more businesses in technology. I am an engineering student. 4)
_______________ there are not enough high-tech businesses, I worry that I will not be able to
get job experience in Turkey. However, I want to help our country become more high-tech. I
may go abroad to a country 5) _______________ Germany to get engineering job experience,
but after that, I want to come back to Turkey to start a high-tech business. It is 6)
_______________ an important goal for me, that I dream about it every night. I think other
university students might do the same thing if they don’t find a job right away after their degree.

19 |INTERMEDIATE SUPPLEMENTARY LANGUAGE BOOKLET FOR PERIODS 1&3

 7) _______________, not all useful skills are taught at a university. For example, if my car
needs to be fixed, does the person who fixes it need a university degree? If I have an electrical
problem at my house, does the electrician need a university degree? 8) _______________ a car
repairperson nor an electrician needs a university degree. They have very useful skills, though.
9) _______________, if someone does not go to a university, they should get skills like a car
repairperson or an electrician.
10) _______________, more people should get a university degree. We need to keep up with
changes in technology. We need more successful businesses. We also need people with other
useful skills, so not everyone should go to a university. Everyone should have useful skills.

U.S. PROHIBITION ERA

either since therefore
in conclusion so while

Ban is both a noun and a verb. Prohibit means the same thing as ban, the verb. Prohibition
means ban, the noun. In the United States, the Prohibition era was a time period between 1920
and 1933 when the making, importing, selling, transporting, and distributing of alcohol was
banned. In other words, supplying alcohol became a crime. However, it was not a crime to
drink alcohol in one’s home. Many people thought that stopping the supply of alcohol would
cause a decrease in the drinking of alcohol, and this was true. Many people thought that less
drinking of alcohol would benefit people’s physical and mental health, and this was true. Many
people also thought that less drinking of alcohol would result in less crime. 1)
_______________ some crime decreased at the start of Prohibition, crime that earned a lot of
money increased. Selling alcohol illegally earned a lot of money. Just a few years after
Prohibition started, the supply of alcohol started increasing again, but illegally. Prohibition was

20 |INTERMEDIATE SUPPLEMENTARY LANGUAGE BOOKLET FOR PERIODS 1&3

 a mistake because criminal organizations made a lot of money from the illegal sale of alcohol.
2) _______________, criminal organizations became powerful.

Before Prohibition, there were some people trying to persuade the public and the government
that people drank too much, thus causing problems 3) _______________ crime and poor health.
Some of these people created social clubs called “temperance societies.” By the start of the 20th
Century, the persuasion of the temperance societies was working 4) _______________ well that
many places across the U.S. had made local laws against alcohol. Finally, with Prohibition
starting in 1920, there was a national law.

The effects of Prohibition were not the same everywhere. Many rich people bought large
amounts of alcohol to keep in their houses before the start of Prohibition 5) _______________
they could keep drinking after the start of Prohibition. In the biggest cities, demand for alcohol
was still high. Criminal organizations decided to supply that demand. They opened illegal
businesses, called “speakeasies,” where people could secretly buy and drink alcohol. Again, the
rich had more money to buy the illegal alcohol. Much of the alcohol bought by the rich during
Prohibition was brought from other countries illegally by the criminal organizations. What did
the poor do 6) _______________ they did not have as much money to buy alcohol? In the cities,
some of the poor joined the criminal organizations 7) _______________, outside the cities, some
of the poor secretly made their own alcohol at their own homes.

The police did stop some of the illegal activities, but 8) _______________ the law nor the police
could reduce the demand for alcohol. Those who really wanted alcohol would 9)
_______________ buy it from criminal organizations or make their own. In some cases, the
criminal organizations became so rich that they would pay the police not to do their jobs of
stopping the illegal activities. On the one hand, Prohibition did decrease the amount of drinking,
at least at the start. 10) _______________, some criminal organizations had more power than
the police. People began to see that Prohibition was not working so well. 11)
_______________this, more people wanted Prohibition to end.

21 |INTERMEDIATE SUPPLEMENTARY LANGUAGE BOOKLET FOR PERIODS 1&3

 12) _______________, Prohibition did not work. The temperance societies thought that
Prohibition would have many good effects. However, criminal organizations became rich and
powerful. Prohibition ended in 1933. The U.S. has never tried to ban alcohol again.

 Finding your soulmate
The days when you had to rely only on your luck to find your soulmate just like your family did
have gone. However, it's not (1)__________ difficult to find your soulmate in this era.
Here are a few tips for you:
You could try one of the dating sites which try to match people with similar interests. You fill in

Another tip could be that new niche websites increase your chances of finding someone who
thinks the same way you do. There are dating sites for people of similar religious beliefs, for pet
lovers, for sci-fi fans, gardeners, and the list is (4)_________ long for you to imagine. Some
companies in US and UK even organise singles nights and singles parties to help young people
especially to find a friend. A 2005 study at the University of Pennsylvania of speed dating events

How about trusting your friends to find you a mate? It's like the old idea of dating from the 19th
century writer Jane Austen's novels. Your friends know your likes and dislikes, so they're

you. In China, blind dates are sometimes set up by young people's relatives, who meet in local
parks to exchange ideas and do some matchmaking. So, if you want to find a real soulmate,

If you find the above tips (7)_________ difficult to take, don’t forget that many people find
their future partner in college, in the office or just by chance. The best way to find out your future
husband or wife is to meet them in person rather than looking at a picture or exchanging

Music and Intelligence

About twenty-five years ago, the results of an exciting new study were reported in the news: If children
listen to the music of Mozart, they will become more intelligent. Immediately, huge numbers of Mozart
CDs (1) ____________ by people who wanted their children to be smarter. The statement was generally
assumed to be true. After all, most people think Mozart was a genius, and maybe (2) ____________ we
listened to his music, his intelligence might transfer to us.

However, if you read about the experiment that led to this claim, (3) ____________ little evidence that
makes the claim true. Firstly, children were not tested in the original experiment. University students
were. The thirty-six young adults (4) ____________ took part did one of three things for ten minutes.
Some sat in silence, others listened to some relaxation instructions and a third group listened to Mozart’s
piano music. (5) ____________, they all completed various tasks, one of which involved paper shapes.
This experiment was repeated three times. It was found that the students who listened to Mozart did
better in the paper shapes activity (6) ____________ the other students. However, the beneficial effect
only lasted (7) ____________ about fifteen minutes.

Since then, a number of similar experiments (8) ____________ which confirm that listening to Mozart’s
music can lead to a temporary improvement in a person’s ability to do spatial puzzles. (9)
____________, they don’t improve intelligence. Other studies showed that there is nothing special
about Mozart’s music. Listening to other classical music, pop music and even stories can also wake up
the brain. The effect is especially strong if the listener likes the sound.

So, listening to Mozart won’t harm your children. It (10) ____________ even lead to a love of classical
music. But if they have an important test ahead, you should probably tell them to study instead of
listening to some music on.

_______________ (PUBLICATION) in the journal Nature. In their study, a(n) 3. _____________
(DISABLE) man, who cannot move his arms or hands, has used his thoughts to write on a computer
screen. The 4. ______________ (ELDER) man became paralyzed after suffering a spinal cord
injury ten years ago.

Scientists from Stanford University in the USA implanted two tiny sensors into the man's brain.
The scientists gave this method two names - "brain-to-text" and "mindwriting". The man wants to
be anonymous and does not want his personal 5. _____________ (DETAILED) to be public, so
scientists have called him T5. The implants have allowed T5 to use his mind to write. He is 6.
_____________ (CAPABILITY) of writing 90 characters (about 18 words) per minute. This is five
words slower than the average person writing a text message on a smartphone.

The mindwriting system is very simple, but it involved a lot of advanced technology and some
special 7. _____________ (EQUIP) like electronic sensors. Scientists asked T5 to 8.
_____________ (IMAGINATION) holding a pen and then writing a sentence on a paper. The
