Read about what Molly used to do when she was young.

The way we were

I was a young girl in the 1960s. My friends and I used to do a lot of things which shocked our parents. We
used to do things our mothers never did. We cut our hair, we wore short skirts, we smoked, and went
dancing. We danced to the music of Elvis Presley and the Beatles. We also got the chance to see the
Beatles live at a concert once. It was amazing. My father went fishing once a week. He always wished that
I would accompany him, but fishing was not my cup of tea. Instead my friends and I went for picnics in the
surrounding area quite often. My boyfriend had a car, a 1960 Ford Falcon, so he always picked us up and
we often drove to Brighton. We went to the pictures twice a week and I loved to watch films with Marlon
Brando and Elizabeth Taylor , especially the ‘Reflections in a Golden Eye’ starring both of them. I still love
to watch this film. It’s my favorite. I can remember it all so clearly.

Read the following text and answer the questions below. Answer with complete sentences and be
careful with capitalization and punctuation marks.

School in Ancient Times

What was school like in ancient times? In Greece 2,500 years ago, students used to get up at dawn to go
to school. Classes began very early and ended when it was dark. Students didn´t rest on the weekends.
They had classes seven days a week, so they didn´t have much time for anything else. In Athens, only the
sons of rich people went to school, and they started school around the age of seven. After they learned
to read and write, they used to study Greek poetry and historical works. Music was very important, and
physical training was also important. Teachers used to hit students who didn´t pay attention or were lazy.
Girls stayed at home with their mothers and learned how to do work in the home.

In ancient Rome, boys and girls from wealthy families received a bilingual education. They had to study
Greek and Latin. Students usually had classes outside, if the weather was good, or in the teacher´s house.
Young students sat on the floor. Older students used to sit on benches, higher up. That´s how “high school”
gots its name.

Education was very important to the ancient Aztecs of Mexico. Boys and girls used to attend school,
but they were kept separate from one another. They learned Aztec history, myths, and rituals, but they
memorized everything because they weren´t any textbooks. The boys received intensive military training.
and the girls learned how to manage the home and the family. There were two kinds of schools: one for
children of nobility and another for children of ordinary families.

Dos Santos, Manuel (2007) Welcome to my World. Mc Graw Hill


1. What time did students use to get up in ancient Greece?

2. How many days a week did they use to have classes?

3. What did teachers use to do with lazy students?

Read the following text and then answer the statements True or False.

Multiple Intelligences
According to psychologist Howard Gardener, people have some different types of intelligences. Some
people are good at some things; other people are good at others. Not all people are good on everything.
A person with logical-mathematical intelligence can solve math problems easily, and someone with good
musical intelligence can play an instrument well. For example, Mozart´s musical intelligence was amazing.
His first work was at the age of five, and his first opera at the age of fourteen. Albert Einstein was a brilliant
mathematician, but his interpersonal intelligence wasn´t very good. Einstein wasn´t very sociable.

Let´s look at a variety of intelligences of some famous people in history. Napoleon was a great general
and strategist. Sigmund Freud had good linguistic intelligence, and he was good with people. Winston
Churchill wasn´t a very good student at school, but he was a political genius. He was one of Britain´s
greatest prime ministers. Churchill was also a newspaper reporter, and a very good painter. Thomas Edison
wasn´t a scientist, but he was a great inventor with lots or practical ideas. Some of his inventions were the
phonograph, the electric bulb, and the movie camera. Leonardo da Vinci is a good example of different
types of intelligences. Leonardo was a painter, a sculptor, a designer, an architect, a scientist, an engineer,
an inventor, all in one.
Dos Santos, Manuel (2007) Welcome to my World II, Mc Graw Hill.

1. According to Gardener, people are intelligent in different ways.


2. Mozart was a composer at a very young age.
3. Einstein was very sociable and good with people.
4. Churchill wasn´t very good at arts.
5. Edison was the inventor of the electric bulb.
6. Leonardo da Vinci was good at many things.

Last month is very special. I fly by myself for the first time! I am a little nervous but it is exciting.

First, I take a taxi to the international airport terminal. Then, I check-in at the reception desk
and walk to the departure lounge at Gate B64. I am early, so I don’t have to wait a long time

to go through immigration and security. Then, I wait in the departure lounge for about 25

minutes before I get on the plane. After I board the plane, I walk along the aisle and find my

seat. Then, I sit down and fasten my seatbelt. I am lucky because my seat is a window seat,

so I can look outside as the plane takes off. After a few hours, the flight attendants serve us

dinner and then I talk to the passenger next to me. His name is Eduardo and I am surprised to

Read the following biography and answer part A and B.

Albert Einstein (1879-1955)


Albert Einstein, one of the world’s most renowned scientists, was
born in Germany in 1879. It is said that he didn’t talk until he was
four years old, and that his parents and others believed that he was
of average intelligence, or less. When he was in elementary school,
his teachers didn’t think he was a successful student. By the time
he was eight years old, they had already decided that he could
not learn as fast as his classmates could. Furthermore, he didn’t
have much interest in his classes, and didn´t give time to study the
required Latin and Greek.

The only subject that interested him was mathematics. However,


even this interest caused trouble with his teachers; Einstein solved
mathematical problems in his own way which was different from
the way of the prescribed curriculum. His teachers didn’t believe
that his future would be very bright.

When Einstein was sixteen, he left school. His parents moved to Italy earlier, so he decided to follow
them there. After he was in Italy for only a few months, he decided to enter another school, the
Zurich Polytechnic, in Switzerland. There he encountered other problems: the teachers forced him
to study the same subjects that the other students were studying at the same time. Of course, he
already mastered the basic subjects that were taught in the school, and so he quickly became bored
and disillusioned. He had been studying physics and other natural sciences by himself before that
time, and he hoped to continue in his own way. After many frustrations, he finally graduated from the
Polytechnic just after he turned twenty-one years old. At that time, he began publishing his important
scientific theories. At first, his theories weren’t accepted, but after a while, other scientists realized
how brilliant they were, and Einstein received the recognition he deserved.

Einstein settled in the United States before World War II. He taught at Princeton University in New
Jersey, and continued making important contributions to science. In the town of Princeton, he used
to walk around town like any ordinary citizen, and was usually not recognized as the great man that
he was.

Einstein’s theories changed the ways that scientists thought about time, space, and matter. His ideas,
such as the theory of relativity, continue to be valid today. There was no other scientist of such
importance in the twentieth century, and indeed, he is among the few great scientists of all time.

Adapted from Spack,R &Keith S (2000) Focus on Grammar Workbook Vol. A. Second Ed. Longman

Hannah met Jamie in the summer of 2004. It was Hannah’s 21st birthday and she and her friends went to a
club. They wanted to dance, but they didn’t like the music so Hannah went to speak to the DJ. ‘This music
is awful,’ she said. ‘Could you play something else?’ The DJ looked at her and said ‘Don’t worry; I have the
perfect song for you.’

Two minutes later he said: ‘The next song is by Coldplay. It’s called Yellow and it’s for a beautiful girl who
is dancing over there.’ Hannah knew that the song was for her because she was wearing a yellow dress.
When Hannah and her friends left the club the DJ was waiting at the door. ‘Hi, I’m Jamie,’ he said to
Hannah. ‘Can I see you again?’ So Hannah gave him her phone number.

Next day Jamie phoned Hannah and invited her to dinner. He took her to a very romantic French restaurant
and they talked all evening. After that Jamie and Hannah saw each other every day. Every evening when
Hannah finished work they met at 5:30 pm in a coffee bar in the High Street. They were madly in love.

One evening in October 31st, Hannah was at work. As usual she was going to meet Jamie at 5:30 pm. It was
dark and it was raining. She looked at her watch. It was 5:20! She was going to be late! She ran to her car
and got in. At 5:25 pm she was driving along the High Street. She was going very fast because she was in
a hurry.
When Hannah was on her way she hit the sidewalk. She called an ambulance and they took her to the
hospital, nothing serious happened to her.

When Jamie arrived to the coffee bar, Hannah wasn’t there. He phoned her, but her mobile was turned
off, so he waited for ten minutes and then went home.

2. What was Jamie doing when he met Hannah?

Romania? No, it’s Astoria, a neighborhood in Queens, New York City. Astoria was once a mostly Greek
neighborhood, but the area is changing fast. New residents from India, Pakistan, Thailand, China, and
all over the United States are moving in.

2. The new residents bring many traditions. These traditions blend together to make Astoria truly

Panic at Seville

It was the Holy Week of 2000. Processions commemorating Christ’s Passion were held in the central
streets of most of Spain’s cities and towns. These processions are planned to start late, start even
later than planned, and now have little spiritual significance, having become largely tourist attractions.
Seville’s processions are probably the most famous. In 1999, a Spanish film was released, “Nobody knows
Anybody”, which portrayed a group of young people causing some violent incidents during the Holy Week
processions there. That idea became reality around 5 o’clock on Good Friday morning when eight separate
incidents occurred during the processions, causing panic which led to quite a few people being injured.

Nobody seems able to describe exactly what happened; tales of frightening noises, gun shots and warnings
of people wielding knives were rather contradictory but they caused panic during which several people
were trampled on and others had attacks of hysteria: nearly sixty people required medical attention, three
being kept in hospital. The police chief must have seen “Casablanca” yet again and copied the order given
by Inspector Cloud Raines to “Round up the usual suspects” as a young delinquent was quickly arrested,
only to be released on Monday when it became obvious that that figure was hardly a Superman capable
of causing eight separate simultaneous incidents.

RELATIVE CLAUSE BINGO!
Get in groups of four. Each of you will choose one of the cards given
(A, B, C or D) and create a shuffle of cards in pieces of paper to place
face down in a pile. Each student takes one on its turn and describe
the person, place, or thing on the card using a relative pronoun. (For

Read the following text about a person who has difficulties in waking up in time. Then complete the
chart that follows.

For his whole life, Nick has never been able to get up early. When he was in elementary school, his mother
would set the alarm clock for 6:00 AM, but it would not wake him up. When Nick was in high school, his
alarm clock would go off, but he simply turned it off and went back to sleep. Every morning his father
would shout, “Come on, Nick! You’re going to be late.” The shouting did not help, however. On a few days,
Nick would show up two hours late! Nick knew that his school would not put up with this situation much
longer. His parents were frustrated, but they could not give up.

One day Nick’s mom came across a blog on the Internet where people were sharing their stories about
oversleeping and different solutions they had come up with to solve their problems. After going over a few
of these stories and realizing there could be an underlying health issue, Nick’s mother made up her mind
that the best advice was to look for a sleep specialist on the Internet. After checking out several websites,
Nick’s mom found out about a specialist for her son’s condition. She called him up and left a message. The
next day, the doctor called her back to talk about Nick’s situation. Now the family is counting on him to
help solve Nick’s problem.

GRAMMAR
PHRASAL VERBS

● A phrasal verb is a combination of a verb and preposition. This particle can change the meaning
of the verb completely. For example:
○ Look up: consult a reference book (look a word up in a dictionary).
○ Look for: seek (look for her ring).
○ Look forward: anticipate with pleasure (look forward to meeting someone)
● There are no rules that might explain the meaning of phrasal verbs.
● All you can do is look them up in a good dictionary and study their meanings.

Separable or inseparable?
1. Sometimes, the preposition/adverb is placed either after the verb or after the object.
Examples:
a. Mary made up a really entertaining story.
b. Mary made the story up.
2. If the object is a pronoun, however, the preposition/adverb has to be placed after the pronoun
(object).
Example:
a. She made it up.
b. Put it down.
c. Take it off.
3. Some phrasal verbs are inseparable.
Example:
a. I came across some old photos in a drawer.
NOT
b. I came some old photos across in a drawer.

GRAMMAR
OBJECT PRONOUNS

Subjects are what the sentence is about.

Objects are what is affected by the action of the subject.

● I like oranges. (I is the subject, Oranges is the object)


● They read books (They is the subject, books is the object)

Subject Pronouns Object Pronouns


I me
you you
he him
she her
it it
we us
they them

OBJECT PRONOUNS are used instead of nouns, usually because we already know what the object is. It
makes the sentence easier to read and understand and avoids repetition. We normally use object pronouns
after a VERB or a PREPOSITION.

Examples
I like horses. Subject Pronoun
I like them. Object pronoun

We talked to our neighbor Lucia. Subject Pronoun


We talked to her Object pronoun

They listened to Mr. Thompson. Subject Pronoun


They listened to him. Object pronoun
