Homework Conversation #1 ExampleConversation 1 ~ Family and Friends

John and Sally are in the same school. They meet for the first time, and discover they live close to each other.

They are in the hallway talking…

John: Hello! My name is John.

Sally: Oh, hi! I didn’t see you there. My name is Sally. I am new here. Are you new here?

John: No! I am a senior. My family has lived here for several years. Where did you move from?

Sally: My family moved here from New Orleans. My father got a new job. Do you see that boy with the

really curly hair?

John: Do you mean the tall guy next to the water fountain?

Sally: No! The short guy next to the teacher! Can you see him?

John: Yes! I see him. Is he your brother? He doesn’t look like you at all. You have such long straight

blonde hair. His is wavy and black. Do you dye your hair?

Sally: No. It is very natural. Perhaps there was a blonde in my family somewhere. Do you have any

pictures of your family?

John: A few. I don’t keep many in my wallet. Would you like to have lunch? We can look at them easier.

John and Sally find a table in the lunch room.

Sally: Wow! You have a nice family. How old is your grandfather? He looks so young.

John: He is 75 years old. I think his children were good so he still has dark brown hair. My mother was a

beauty queen in high school. How many brothers and sisters do you have?

Sally: You saw my one brother. I have one sister who is older than me. She has a job in New Orleans. She

is short, and works as a lawyers assistant. She is still single, and loves it. We need to go back to

class. Would you like to meet sometime after school?

John: Sure! Let’s make a plan.

John and Sally go to class before they can make a plan.

B. Language expansion – Page 20 (student book)

C. Activities – Mad lib – Letter of recommendation

D. Work book pages ~ 13, 15

A. Grammar note ~~

Present tense is easy. The words that tell us in the verb to be are -- am/is/are. These words are important in

English. These words help me to look at what I write and fix my Konglish. When I use these words I should ask

myself questions like, “Does A=B”?

Example ~ I am a student. / I = student.

You can do this easily with “is” and “are” as well. This can improve your communication in both writing and

conversation. “I“ is the only word used with “am’. “Am” is also used with “ing”. “You” is the only pronoun used

with “are”. He/She/It uses “is”. A special note when you use he/she/it is to add the “s” to the verb, or action

word. The third person, he/she/it is an easy check for you.

B. On page 20 in the student book you will find expansion words. Do sections A and B. B is give an

opinion about the jobs in part A. Use your answers in your conversation this week.

C. Now do the Mad Libs activity “Letter of recommendation” . It is fun. First you must write several

grammar words. Second, you will write them in the story provided. Read the story two or three

times and have a good laugh. This activity is about making silly stories.

D. Pages 13 and 15 are included for you to do. These will help you use your student book, and the

grammar focus of this chapter.

Your homework is to write a conversation. This week you should include; am /is / are, plus 10 expansion

words. Underline the expansion words, and bold the I’m/ you’re/ he’s/ we’re. Be careful to do a spell

check.

Conversations use questions and answers in a rhythm. This means that each part of the dialogue should end in

a question. The answer will follow. Therefore, you have a Q ~ A ~ Q rhythm. Please use this QAQ in your

conversations every week.

Homework Conversation #2 ExampleConversation 2 ~ Jobs

John and Sally are in the Mall having some snacks in the food court talking…

John: Sally! Have you thought about your future job yet? University is here and I have to make some

hard choices.

Sally: Well! I’m not sure. I thought about becoming an engineer. My uncle works in Egypt. I think if I’m

an Engineer I could travel the world. Doesn’t that sound like fun?

John: Sounds like a great job to have. I have thought of being a teacher in Santiago. Do you know anyone

whose been go South America?

Sally: No! I don’t know of anyone. Why Santiago? Isn’t that in the US?

John: No! It is in Chile, on the west side of South America. It’s a long country. What do you think it’s

like living in another country?

Sally: I think it would be more fun. Of course some countries are more dangerous, so you can’t party too

much. In some countries even drinking is not allowed, but it is hot all year’ round if you get a

tropical country like Cairo, the capital of Egypt. Wouldn’t you like to live where it’s warm all

year?

John: I would love to have warm weather year ‘round. I’m sure Chile has warm weather. It also has cool

weather. Perhaps there are even puffins or strange birds. It is close to cold Antarctica so maybe

we’re going to see penguins. Doesn’t that sound interesting?

Sally: It does! We’re going to go pharaoh hunting. I’m going to try and discover a new room with lotsof treasure. That is if I can get there, and have a job. Do you have a job already?

John: Not yet! I think teaching will change by the time I’m ready to go. How do you think your job will

change, by the time you are finished University?

Sally: I think there will be lots of technology which can see underground, without even digging. Makes

exploration less fun, but also less work. What about a work visa? Have you ever thought about

that, as an option?

John: I have thought about that. May people in Chile are grape farmers. Chilean wine is popular now. I

may try and get a job as a picker. What would you do if you got a working visa?

Sally: I don’t know? I would probably do caving in Russia, or Mexico. If you’re going to go in one

direction, you should try ideas in the same area. Expand your mind.

John and Sally have to leave, but promise to meet next week.

b. Language expansion – Page 32 (student book)

c. Activities – Mad lib – Television listings

d. Work book pages ~ 19, 21

A. Grammar note ~~

The word that tells us about a noun is “there”. In this chapter we want to use “there is” and “there are”. “Is”

and “Are” tell us how many of something. “Is” is for one and “are” is for more than one. When writing it is

important that everything is equal. (A=B) This means that if you use “there is” you must also use the singular

object. (For example ~ There is one umbrella.) If you use “there are” you will need to add an “s” to the

object. (For example ~ There are 4 (four) girls.) When A=B, everything is smooth and easy to speak, read,

and understand. These words are important in English. These words help me to look at what I write and fix

my Konglish. When I use these words I should ask myself questions like, “Does A=B”?

Example ~ I am a student. / I = student.

You can do this easily with “is” and “are” as well. This can improve your communication in both writing and

conversation. “I“ is the only word used with “am’. “Am” is also used with “ing”. “You” is the only pronoun used

with “are”. He/She/It uses “is”. A special note when you use he/she/it is to add the “s” to the verb, or action

word. The third person, he/she/it is an easy check for you.

Homework Conversation #3 ExampleConversation 3 ~ Houses and Apartments

There are some new houses in John and Sally’s City. As they walk past they have a conversation….

John: Look at those new houses. When do you think they will get really creative? There are so many that

look the same.

Sally: You’re right? The fronts are all the same. Did you know that there is a law which makes them look

almost the same?

John: No! I didn’t know! Why would they do that? It takes away from the enjoyment of looking at the

community, like in the old days. Do they have to have the same floor plan as well?

Sally: No. Just the exterior needs to be the same. The size of the kitchen, or how many bathrooms can change.

There are often two or three bathrooms.

John: Our house is quite small compared to these. How many bedrooms do you think there are, in thesemonsters.

Sally: I think most will have three up and two down. The basement is usually the social part of the house. Or, it

is the place for teenagers. Does your house have rooms in the basement?

John: No, unfortunately we don’t have a basement. We live in an older apartment. It is comfortable though. I

have a king size bed, and there is always food in the super sized refrigerator. What kind of TV

do you have?

Sally: Our house is not big so we bought a flat screen TV to hang on the wall. I think it’s about 42 inches, and

we can connect our computer to it. There are so many small techie things out today. How big isyour kitchen, John?

John: Our kitchen is quite big. The one bedroom is very large, but the other ones are like closets. The

kitchen/living room is spacious. We have a full sized convection wall oven. What kind of oven do you

have in your house?

Sally: Why do you have a convection oven, not a standard one? We have a smaller standard one, because our

kitchen is small. Our living room is separate but we bought a new coffee table and leather sofa last

year.

John: We bought a convection oven because it is cooler than the other ones, which is nice for the hot days. Iwonder what the owners will put in their new houses. Well the coffee shop is here. What would you

like to have with your coffee?

John and Sally have a chat and then go to different appointments.

Expansion words ~~ kitchen / bathrooms / bedrooms / king size bed / refrigerator / flat screen TV / closets /

convection wall oven / living room / coffee table / sofa

d. Work book pages ~ 25, 29

A. GrammarThis / That / These / Those. Using these words is important in your communication. What do they

communicate? They communicate that a noun will follow. Sometimes they are people. Sometimes

they are just possessions. In this chapter we want to focus on the objects, or possessions. The second

communication factor is the distance. “This” and “That” communicate close and far. Using body

language will help you communicate this idea. “These” and “Those” communicate more than one. Be

sure to keep the A=B idea in your mind. This and That = 1 ~ These and Those = 1+.

B. On page 44, in the student book, you will find expansion words. Do all sections. Use your answers in

your conversation this week.

C. Now do the Mad Libs activity “Explorers”. It is fun. First you must write several grammar words.

Homework Conversation #4 ExampleConversation 4 ~ Possessions

John and Sally are walking along the street going home. They pass a variety of shops with interesting items.

They are chatting when John sees something interesting….

John: Hey! Look at those new phones. They have been advertised as having some special GPS stuff. My cellphone looks like an antique compared to those. How old is your cell phone?

Sally: Mine!? Mine is not that old but it’s not a smart phone. It’s just a basic phone. I would like to get one of

those “Tabs”. Which one would you like if you could choose?

John: If I could choose, I would buy a touch style phone. I have a touch screen computer. They are nice, but it

takes some time to get used to it. Should we go in and see what other new inventions they have?

Sally: Sure! I like new technology. Look at these! What are they? They look like a Mickey Mouse thing you

put on your phone, or something.

John: Oh, those are MP3 players. What about these e-dictionaries. Now you can learn Hangul without

working too hard. It think it has 32 languages. How much do you think those are?

Sally: I think they are in the $500 range. Am I right?

John: Here! That is true, but online you can find them for much cheaper. What about this camcorder. It’s a

new one from Samsung. It has some interesting functions, like a Bluetooth direct movie export. What

are you looking at?

Sally: I am looking at this Sony CD player . I didn’t know they made them anymore. I think they are like the

DVD players. Soon they will be obsolete. What do you think will replace them?

John: I think flash sticks, or SSD HD’s will replace most everything. Look at that SSD HD Drive. It has a lot of

memory, and thin as a credit card. Have you seen those before?

Sally: Wow! I hadn’t seen that. I think you are right. Is your computer one of those super thin ones?

John: No! It’s a little bit of a monster. I should get a new one. Well, we should keep going or we will never get

home.

John and Sally continue on their way home window shopping in the way.

A. Grammar ~ in, at, on, every, sometimes, alwaysStatements are most often followed by small words that tell us position (in, at, on) direction, and/ or time.

Communicating, using these small words, helps us understand where or when some action is done. “Do”

questions are used a lot. Questions that start with “Do” require a yes/no answer. They are not the best

questions, but they are the easiest to use. Using always, every, and sometimes are the answers you use

when asked with the word “often” in it. This week you will need to use these in your conversation.

Homework Conversation #5 ExampleConversation 5 ~ Daily Activities

John and Sally meet in the shopping mall. They are looking at their schedules for activities during the week. ….

John: My schedule is so busy. I have to work and then go to winter classes. I didn’t do very well in English last

semester. What is your schedule like?

Sally: Mine is a little relaxed. I don’t have to get up too early. It looks like I need to get up at 7:00 in the

morning.

John: If I could choose, I would prefer to have done better in class. Now I start work at 7:00 in the morning.

Sally: That must be tough. On weekends I finish work at 9:00 in the evening. I only work weekends. I

have a couple of private classes to go to, and they have a lot of homework. I have to keep my grades

up. Do you have breakfast? You work so early.

John: Not usually. I take a quick shower, and then take the bus to work. It isn’t far, but still too early. How

about having dinner sometime?

Sally: When do you get home for dinner? I am usually free after 5:00 in the afternoon.

John: It depends. Sometimes I have to work longer, if it is busy. I will try to call you. When is the best time

to call?

Sally: Most of the time it is best at lunch time. I don’t have a nap, and I am finished taking my shower.

When do you have lunch?

John: I always have lunch at 12:30. Weekends I will be busy then. Could you call me during the week?

Sally: Sure! I could just text you. That is often easier. How often t o go out for dinner?

John: I don’t go out much. I am usually tired, or have to study. English homework is hard. The teacher makes

us write conversations every week. We also have other homework, which is most important. How

often do you go to the Private School .

Sally: I go three times a week. I have three hours of classes. I have to go to an appointment. Text or call

me when you have time for dinner.

Sally continues on her way, while John makes a plan for dinner.

A . Grammar ~ imperatives plus have to

Imperatives are words that we use as commands or giving instructions. Words like “turn” and “walk”. These

words are important to stress when you give directions. The strong emotion communicates that it is very

important. Combine an imperative with “have to” and you communicate a very firm message. When using

the imperative alone, use strong emotion. When writing an imperative alone, use the “!”. Emotion is

important when you use imperatives.

Homework Conversation #6 ExampleConversation 6 ~ Getting There

John and Sally are looking for a special restaurant that their friend has recommended. It is a bit hard to find.

They have a simple map, which their friend had given them. As they look …

John: Sally! Now we are on Rodeo Street. Should we take a bus, or the subway to the Tartines shop?

Sally: I think we should take the bus. We can see where we want to go easier. On the map there is a Park . Let’s

find the Park first. Do you know which bus goes there?

John: No! Let’s ask someone. Should we ask someone on the street, or in the store?

Sally: Over there! There is a bus map. Do you see it?

John: Do you mean the map on the bus stop window?

Sally: Yes! Turn your head a little to the right. Now do you see it?

John: Yes! It looks like bus 3011 is the one we should take.

John and Sally get on bus 3011. They get off at the Park they see on the map.

Sally: I think this is the Park. You have to go straight for two blocks if you read the map. Does it look like

the right way?

John: I think so. Brian said to not to get confused when we cross the street. Cross the street! Where do

we cross the street?

Sally: Well… across from the TBroad office. Can you see the TBroad shop?

John: There is one on every corner. I am really confused. There is an NH Bank on the map. I think we should

walk to the next NH Bank and find the TBroad shop. Can you see it on the map?

Sally: I see it. It is on the corner. Do you see it? Turn right there!

John: Ok! I see it. I think Tartines is between the movie theatre and the museum.

Finally John and Sally get to Tartines for a tart and conversation.

7. Free Time Grammar ~ Am + ing / Can - for ability

Language expansion – Page 76, 80 (student book)

Activities – Mad lib – Safety Precautions for Campers


A . Grammar ~ Am + ing

The verb “to be” gives us ~ am, are, is , was , were, etc. These words communicate our A=B equation. For

example ~John is Sally’s friend. ~ John = Sally’s friend. When we add an action to this we add “ing” to it.

This communicates a moving action. It also communicates a continuous time value. So, if we want to

communicate just (A=B) we use ONLY the am/is/are/was/were words. It we want to communicate a

moving action, we combine these with an “ing’ on the action. I call this “Now +”. “ING” always goes

together with the “to be” verb. When you check your writing and speaking you want to keep these

together.

B. On pages 76,80, in the student book, you will find expansion words. Do all sections. Use your answers in


C. Now do the Mad Libs activity “Safety Precautions for Campers”. It is fun. First you must write several

Homework Conversation #7 ExampleConversation 7 ~ Free Time

John and Sally have some free time coming. John has a few holidays and Sally’s classes are soon to finish.

Enjoying their new coffee shop they are talking about..

John: Sally! Now we are going to have some time on our hands. What are you planning to do?

Sally: Hmmmm… I haven’t thought about it too much. I thought about taking a cooking class. What are you

thinking of doing? I thought you might travel or something.

John: Travel takes money. I think I am going to watch a few movies. Have you seen the new Tom Cruise

movie?

Sally: No. I have only seen the advertisement. What about skiing? You like sports.

John: I thought of that. Maybe in between movies I will try it out. There is a lot of snow now. I can’t ski very

well. I am going to rent a teacher for a day. Why don’t you try it?

Sally: I am not a good sports person. I used to swim in the morning. Why don’t you ask Tom and Susan?

They like skiing and movies.

John: Good idea! Do you know what they are doing now?

Sally: I think Susan said they were going to Vietnam for a week’s vacation. She wanted to do some drawing.

I don’t know about Tom. When was the last time you heard from him?

John: I think it was about three weeks ago. He said he was playing tennis with a Club. I haven’t heard from

him since then. Maybe he went to a tournament. Maybe he is playing the guitar at home. He does

like to play guitar when he relaxes. How about ice skating? It is not as hard as skiing.

Sally: I have tried skating. I can even stop and turn, but nothing fancy. There is also Tony. What do you think

Tony is doing nowadays?

John: Tony said he was reading a book, before I came to meet you. He likes to read those big novels.

Maybe that is why he has such a big vocabulary. I can’t read very fast, so I don’t like reading. Are

you a fast reader?

Sally: I don’t read fast, so I read a chapter at a time. I get a headache. John! Time flies when we chat. I have to

go home and make my schedule. I will call you later.

John: Ok!

John and Sally leave for different appointments.

B. Language expansion – Page 88, 92 (student book)

C. Activities – Mad lib – Campfire Stories


A. Grammar ~ Can (request) /Could

“Can” and “Could” are two words used all the time. Some people shorten “could” to “cudda”. While

this short style of speaking is acceptable, at times, it is not recommended. Choosing the right word is

important. It is important because one is more formal than the other. Can is less formal, and can be

heard as rude. It is direct and lacks respect. You hear it often when you go shopping. The sales clerk

will say, “Can I help you..?” Using “could” require a longer more polite question or response. For

example ~ Could you move your bag please? ~ Using “could” added please to the question. A good

response would be ~ Sure! No Problem! Is this better? If you used “can”, the answer may have been ~

Why?

Like/Love/ Dislike / Hate are the same. Love and Hate communicate strong emotions. When you use

them you raise your voice. Like and dislike are very passive and your expression is much different.

B. On pages 88 and 92 in the student book, you will find expansion words. Do all sections. Use your answers

Homework Conversation #8 ExampleConversation 8 ~ Clothes

John and Sally meet to shop for clothes. With vacation coming they want to look fashionable.

John: I need some new jeans. I bought a new School jacket last semester. Are you expanding your wardrobe

this vacation Sally?

Sally: Hmmmm… I thought I’d buy some new shoes. I like the ones in the window at Macy’s. They are a bit

expensive. Can we go there to see if there is a sale?

John: Why not! I think we have time to go there. How far is it from here?

Sally: Oh! Look at that blouse. I love that color. It’s a purple. Don’t you like that color?

John: Purple is not my favorite color. I prefer a deep green. Should we go in to see if there are more colors?

Sally: Ok! Let’s ask.

Sally and John go into the store to check for more styles and colors.

Clerk: Can I help you find anything?

Sally: I saw the purple T-shirt in the window. Could you see if you have my size?

Clerk: We have a limited size range, in that style. Can I have your size?

Sally: I am a small. It is usually easy to find my size. John! Look at that hat! It would look good on you. I really

like that style. Have you ever worn a hat?

John: I don’t usually wear hats. I like the looks, but usually don’t wear them. I always forget them somewhere.

Are you going to try the T-shirt on?

Sally: No! I hate trying it on in the store. It makes me feel self-conscious. If I buy shoes or something it is not

the same. It’s just clothes that I dislike trying on. I can always bring them back. What’s the time?

John: It is just past 3:00! Could we still go to Macy’s? I should get a shirt and tie for work.

John and Sally leave for Macy’s to continue their shopping.

B. Language expansion – Page 100,104 (student book)

C. Activities – Mad lib – Our Favorite Counselor


A. Grammar ~ How much / How many

Much and Many can be confusing. That is because they get confused. “Many” is easy. You can count

the pieces. For example ~ How many pieces are there in the puzzle? You can count the pieces 1,2,3.

“Much” is also easy. It is like a group of something. In English we would say the “volume of something.”

Words like “people” is a many word ~ How many people are there? Much is used for things like liquid

~ How much milk is there? You can count the milk drops, but then you would have to ask ~ How many

milk drops are there? Using “much” is vague. Using “many” requires a more precise noun. You want

an exact number (1.234) when you use “many”. You want a vague answer (some, any, not much, a lot

of) when you use “much”.

Homework Conversation #9 ExampleConversation 9 ~ Eat Well

John and Sally are planning a party. Since holidays are coming they want to start with a celebration. They have

invited several friends to come over.

John: Sally! How many people did you invite to our party?

Sally: Hmmmm… I think I had 5 people confirm they were coming. Most were too busy. How many did you

invite?

John: I invited about 20 but I had the same response. Do you remember when we used to have big parties to

start vacation?

Sally: Yes! It wasn’t so long ago either. We should go to the store to buy some things. We need to buy

some potato chips, dip, drinks etc. What flavors do you like?

John: I like sour cream and onion chips and dip. I think we need to have some healthy food. Most Koreansneed rice, so we should buy some of those ready to eat rice things. How about cheese or fruit?

Sally: I think a few apples would be great. We can put them in salad as well. Should we buy a few slices of

cheese or just a block?

John: I think slices are good. For meat we should buy a lot of hamburgers and some buns.

Sally: We should get some lite foods. Perhaps a little tofu. Do you like yoghurt?

John: I do. I usually eat some yoghurt for breakfast. Add a few sliced strawberries and it is very good. Even

oranges can be good in yoghurt. What do you have for breakfast?

Sally: I usually have a couple of slices of bread with peanut butter and honey.

John: That doesn’t sound like much. I thought the standard was bacon and eggs. Do you ever eat the standard

American breakfast?

Sally: I don’t usually. My dad does. He likes his 2 eggs and 3 bacon strips for breakfast. It’s not very healthy in

our culture of limited exercise. For a guy I thought you would have bacon and eggs. What is your

standard breakfast?

John: I like bacon and eggs but not every day. I like a few different cheeses on fresh croissant. I eat homemade

yoghurt with fresh fruit. On Sunday I like to eat a sweet roll. I like to snack on carrots.

Sally: Sounds healthy. We should get moving here. Otherwise the party won’t go ahead.

John and Sally continue their shopping for the party.

Homework Conversation #10 ExampleConversation 10 ~ Health

John and Sally meet, but one of them is not feeling well.

John: Hello Sally! The weather has turned a bit chilly. My mom has a cold now. How do you feel?

Sally: I feel ok. Changes in weather always brings some kind of bug. The warm and cold daily cycle makes the

body confused. I do have a small earache though. I think I got it from my nose. How are you feeling?

You look a bit white.

John: I am getting a cold I think. Maybe I need to eat more yoghurt. What is a good remedy for these cold/flu

bugs?

Sally: Aspirin or Tylenol are common. Tradition would say that you should eat chicken soup and drink tea.

What do you do when you have a fever?

John: Well, if I get a fever I often get toothaches. The heat makes my teeth hurt, so I drink a lot. I should go to

the doctor more often, or take cold medicine. You sound like you are getting a cold. Are you?

Sally: Just a little on. My mother said I should see a doctor, but I think I will go to bed earlier. Do you have a

headache? You look like your head is hurting.

John: I had one this morning. It was serious, but then I had some coffee. It seems that coffee can fix headaches.

My friends drink a lot of coffee. How is your throat?

Sally: My throat is a bit sore. I think it is from my nose. Infections in your nose become infections in your

throat and ears. I should buy some nasal mist or something to dry up my nose. Did you have all your

childhood diseases? My younger brother just got the measles.

John: Yes! I even had the mumps. I heard mumps for adults is dangerous, so having it young is a good thing.

Measles is contagious before you get it. Just like chicken pox. Do you think you get chicken pox from

eating too much KFC chicken?

Sally: I don’t think so. Chicken pox is a disease that you get usually as a child. I don’t know how you get it, but

it’s not from eating too much chicken. You get those itchy bumps on your skin. Is your skin itchy?

John: It is a little, but not with large red spots. Can you look?

John and Sally go home to get better.
