INTRODUCTION

Recycling Elementary English is for students at elementary level who want to learn general English. It also offers useful extra practice to those preparing for the Cambridge Key English Test (KET). It can be used to supplement any coursebook at this level, and is suitable for use in the classroom, for homework, or (in the case of the With Key edition) for self-study.

The book aims to provide:• coverage of the four main areas of difficulty at this level — situations, vocabulary,

grammar and writing• short, clear explanations and examples• a variety of exercise types, with illustrations to aid learning• a clear, attractive layout, so that the material is easy to use.

Recycling Elementary English is divided into four distinct sections:Section 1 SITUATIONS (20 units)This section covers a wide range of situations and functions needed at elementary level, selected from the KET syllabus. It comes first in the book to show students how important it is to be able to use English in real-life contexts.Section 2 VOCABULARY (15 units)This section presents and practises vocabulary from twelve KET topics.Section 3 GRAMMAR (35 units)This is the longest section of the book, covering all the major grammatical points at KET level.Section 4 WRITING (10 units)This section offers clear guidance on a variety of different writing tasks, with study tips, help with spelling and correcting mistakes, and useful expressions to learn and practise.Recycling Units are an important element of this book. They occur in Sections 2 and 3 after every four units, to help students remember and practise new material. Previous items are also recycled, not just those from the previous group of units.

How should the book be used?Each section is independent of the others and can be used at any stage. In Section 3 there is a planned progression of grammar items from Units 36 to 70, so students studying on their own should work through the units in order. Recycling units are also best used in the correct sequence - for example, Unit 25 after Units 21-24.

What comes next?This book is part of a series by the same author, ranging from elementary to advanced.Recycling Intermediate English is for lower-intermediate to intermediate students, and those preparing for the Cambridge Preliminary English Test (PET).Recycling Your English is for upper-intermediate students, and those preparing for the Cambridge First Certificate examination (FCE).Recycling Advanced English is for advanced students, and those studying for the Cambridge Certificate in Advanced English (CAE) or the revised Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE) examinations.

GRAMMAR VOCABULARY

A VERB is a doing word, which tells you what is happening, what happened in the past, or what will happen. It can be used in different forms, depending on the time of the action and the number of people who are doing it:• I wrote a letter. • She speaks very quietly. • People were surprised.

A SENTENCE is a group of words with a working verb. Many English sentences have a subject, verb and object:• The dog ate the biscuit.

The SUBJECT of a sentence usually comes before the verb:• The bus arrived a little late. • They live in Spain.

The OBJECT of a sentence usually comes after the verb:• I put the cheese in the fridge.

An AUXILIARY VERB helps another verb to do its work. Auxiliary verbs are be (used to make passive and continuous forms), have (used with the present perfect), and do (used to make questions and negatives):• He was born in Paris. • Have you seen her? • I don’t know the answer.

A NOUN is a way of naming people, animals or things. It can be singular, plural or uncountable:• a Scottish castle • all the students • some new information

SINGULAR means only one of something. If the subject is singular, the verb is also singular:• A boy was climbing the tree.

PLURAL means more than one of something. If the subject is plural, the verb is also plural:• The paintings were very expensive.

An ARTICLE is used before a noun:Definite article: • We enjoyed the sunshine.Indefinite article: • I saw a film last week.

A PRONOUN is used instead of a noun:• She watched television. • They looked happy.

An ADJECTIVE describes a noun, or is used with verbs like be or seem:• a wonderful day • She is unhappy. • He seems helpful.

An ADVERB describes a verb, or an adjective, or another adverb:• He’s very intelligent. • They walked extremely fast. • She sings well.

Grammar vocabulary

LINKING WORDS are used to join up sentences or parts of sentences:• I like chocolate, but it makes me ill. • He came in and went to bed.

A PREPOSITION is a small word used before a noun or pronoun to link it to the rest of the sentence:• I went to London. • We live near the school. • The key is on the table.

A POSSESSIVE is a word which shows that something belongs to somebody:• She’s the teacher whose class we’re in.

REGULAR means following the rules of grammar, spelling etc.IRREGULAR means the word does not follow the rules, so you need to learn it separately.Regular verb: • ask ~ asked ~ asked Irregular verb: • write ~ wrote ~ written Regular plurals: • pen ~pens • baby ~ babies Irregular plural: • man ~ men(See the list of irregular verbs on page 144, Unit 36 for irregular plurals and Unit 71 on spelling.)

A CLUE is anything which can help you to find the right answer. (Detectives use clues to catch criminals!)E xa m p l e :

Singular or plural verb?The books________ on the desk yesterday. Answer: wereThe clue is books. Because books is a plural subject, you need to use a plural verb form, like are or were, not is or was.

A VOWEL is one of these letters: a e i o u

A CONSONANT is any of the letters in the alphabet except the vowels.

Nouns

A noun is a word for a person, place or thing. We use a noun for something you can touch, like an orange, or something you can't touch, like a wedding, or something you can't see, like love. J

A Underline the nouns in these sentences.

1 When does the bank open?2 What a surprise to see you!3 I left my bicycle outside the shop.4 We went to a great party yesterday.5 He bought some fish and chips for lunch.

Nouns can be singular (only one), or plural (more than one), or uncountable (see Unit 64 on countables and uncountables). To decide if a noun should be singular or plural, look for a clue to help you. If you see any of these clues, the noun must be plural:Before the noun After the nounnumbers {two, three, forty, a hundred) plural verb (are, were) many, a few these, those

To make the plural, we add -s to most English nouns: cat~cats, table-tables, girl-girls, boat-boats, house-houses

(See Unit 71 on spelling for help with other plural endings for nouns.)

B Decide if the sentences need singular or plural nouns. Then complete them with the correct words from the box.

UNIT 51Adjectives (1)

Adjectives describe a noun or pronoun, and usually go before it. They don't change their spelling for singular or plural.• It was a great party. • I love red roses.

94

UNIT 52Possessives

Possessive adjectives (my, his, her, its, our, your, their) tell you who owns something: • My car won't start. • Can I borrow your pen?

We use possessive pronouns (mine, his, hers, ours, yours, theirs) instead of a possessive adjective plus a noun:• My name's Charlotte. What's yours? (= your name)• Is that little boy their son? No, he's mine. (= my son)Notice also: • John is a friend of mine. • It's an idea of his.

A Match the two halves of the sentences. Use each item only once.

UNIT 53Pronouns

We use pronouns instead of nouns or names.Subject pronouns (I, he, she, it, we, you, they) usually come before the main verb.• I do yoga on Wednesdays. • We know your brother.

Object pronouns (me, him, her, it, us, you, them) are used after verbs and prepositions: • I saw him yesterday. • They gave us cheese sandwiches.• Please come with me.

Demonstrative pronouns (this, that, these, those) show which things or people weare talking about: • What's this? • That's my sister's car over there.

This, that, these, those can also be used before a noun:• This apple tastes awful. • Pass me those keys.

(See Unit 52 for possessive pronouns.)

Which and that are used for a thing:• It's the film which / that I told you about.Why is for a reason: • She explained why she was angry.Where is for a place: • Is that where you live?When is for a time: • Is there a time when you can come?Whose is for something belonging to someone:• She's the girl whose photo is in the newspaper.

Take this medicine, and stay out of the sun.’Hugo took the doctor’s advice, and stayed in his room for the rest of his holiday. He soon felt better. ‘What a cheap holiday!’ he thought happily.

UNIT 54Past simple

We use the past simple to talk about completed actions at a fixed point in the past. We often use dates or times, or words like yesterday, last, ago:• We walked to school yesterday. • I saw him last week. • We went there two months ago.Regular verbs have an -ed or a -d ending: • She looked at me and I smiled at her.

These are some common irregular verbs: be ~ was / were, come ~ came, do ~ did, drive ~ drove, fly ~ flew, give ~ gave, go ~ went, have ~ had, lose sit ~ sat see ~ saw, spend ~ spent, take ~ took, write ~ wrote

The present perfect is formed with has / have + the past participle:I / we / you / they have finished he / she / it has finished Short forms I / we / you / they've finished he / she / it's finished

For regular verbs, the past participle is the same as the past simple, but you have to learn the past participles of irregular verbs. (See Unit 69 and page 144.,)

We use the present perfect for actions with a result in the present:• She's lost her bag. (= It happened in the past, but the result is that she hasn't got her bag now.)

Sometimes we add by plus the person or thing doing the action:• The story was written by Graham Greene.Notice: • I was born in Grenoble, (not */ am born)

UNIT 64

Countables and uncountables

Most nouns in English are countable, which means we can count them:• a bottle, two cats, five people, twenty rooms, a hundred students

Some nouns are uncountable, so we can't count them:• bread, butter, food, furniture, gold, information, luggage, money, news, petrol, salt, scenery, sugar, rice, water

We can't make uncountable nouns plural, and we use a singular verb with them:• I'd like some information, (not *l'd like some informations.)• The rice is delicious, (not *The rice / rices are delicious.)

Mark each noun with C 1 butter 11 saltfor countable or U for 2 student 12 bookuncountable. 3 flat 13 luggage

4 sugar 14 computer5 water 15 bag6 scenery 16 information7 person 17 money8 rice 18 museum9 bike 19 office

Gerund and infinitive

A gerund is the -ing form of a verb acting as a noun. We use it after certain verbs, like love, enjoy, hate, avoid, mind, and all prepositions:• He enjoys playing football. • She's keen on dancing.

We can also use it as the subject of a sentence:• Shopping is fun! • Learning a language is difficult.

meals for her friends, old books.

_________is good exercise for the whole body.8 The boys are bored w ith___________computer games now.

An infinitive is the basic form (the first part) of the verb. We use it with to after many verbs (want, would like, decide, hope, promise, offer): • I wanted to watch the video.

We use it without to after most modal verbs (must, can, may, might, should, needn't), let and make: • You can ski well. • They never let me play tennis with them.

Spelling

Spelling means the way we write a word:• 'Can you spell your last name forme, please?' 'Yes, it's W.E.S.T.'

This is the English alphabet:A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Za b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y zLook in your dictionary if you don't know how to say the letters.

A, B, C, D etc are capital letters. We use them for the first word in a sentence, days of the week, months, countries, languages, nationalities, names of places, people, books, films, buildings and titles:• Tuesday, June, France, Portuguese, the Pacific, Turin, Julia Roberts, Mr Jones

A Put capital letters in this story where they are necessary.

when I woke up, I didn’t know where I was. ‘I’m in a hotel bedroom,’ I thought, ‘so I’m still on my business trip, but which city am I in? paris? tokyo? rome? new york?’ then I suddenly remembered, ‘o f course! it’s Wednesday, so it must be madrid!’

B Write answers to questions 1 -4. Make sure your spelling is correct.

1 What is the capital city of Germany?2 What is the official language of Brazil?3 Which day of the week has the most letters in its name?4 What building does the President of the United States live in?

STUDY TIPLearning new spellings

Look hard at the new word. Imagine your brain is a camera, and you are taking a photo of the word. Now you should have a picture of the word in your head.

Write down the word. Check - does it look like the picture in your head?

Do this again tomorrow, and the next day. Try to use the new word, in speaking and writing.

UNIT 79

Telling a story

At the beginning we usually describe what was happening before the story really started, by using the past continuous:• The sun was shining as I walked home. It was a lovely day, and I was thinking about Susie.

Then we say what happened next in the story, by using the past simple:• A man with a gun ran out of the bank. A police car arrived, and drove after him.

Sometimes we finish the story by saying something like this:• It was exciting / frightening / fun for all of us.• I really enjoyed / the day / the trip / the experience.

When you tell your friends a story, it is important to keep talking. Don't stop speaking if you can't think of a word - try to think of another way of saying it.

When you write a story, plan it before you write it, in parts or paragraphs, like this:• describing the scene at the beginning of the story• the actions that happen in the story• the end of the story

(See Unit 58 on the past continuous, and Unit 54 on the past simple.)

__________ for eight hours, (sleep)________ to visit me on my birthday, (come)_______at 3 o’clock, (begin)______ his leg on a skiing holiday, (break)___ us an amazing story, (tell)a letter to my grandfather, (write)

_______ a car. (buy)___ off his bicycle, (fall)a mistake, (make)

a lot of money, (cost)_ me a wonderful present, (give) a passport in the taxi, (find)

switched on the TV and watched the news. There were pictures of people and their children, waiting for many hours at the airport.
