Unit 1: Lets remembersomething about the airport
At the airport
When you first reach the counter, you should give them your ticket and your passport. The
first question they usually ask is how many are traveling with you."Is anybody traveling with you today?"
"Is anybody else traveling with you?"
"Are just you two traveling today?"
All airlines have a list of questions they have to ask you. Let's look at some of thesequestions.
"Did someone you do not know ask you to take something on the plane with you?"
"Did you have possession of your luggage since you packed?"
"Did you leave your luggage unattended at all in the airport?"
"Are you carrying any weapons or firearms?"
"Are you carrying any flammable material?"
"Do you have any perishable food items?"
"How many suitcases are you checking in?"
"Do you have a carry on?"
"Can you place your baggage up here?"
"How many carry on bags are you taking with you?"
Afterwards, they might ask if you prefer an aisle seat or a window seat.
"Do you prefer window or aisle?"
If they are out of aisle seats, they will ask you if window is ok.
Example:
"We do not have any aisle seats remaining. Is a window seat ok with you or would youprefer a middle seat?"

Some people like to be by the emergency exit. You can ask for that seat.
"Do you have a seat next to the emergency exit?"
"Can I have a seat closest to the emergency exit?"
If they do, then you will get a seat by the exit, but if they don't, they will try to give you onethat is close.
"All the seats next to the exit have been taken. I have a seat directly in front of it. Wouldyou like that one?"
Finally, they will tell you the gate number and the boarding time.
"Here are your tickets. The gate number is at the bottom of the ticket. They will startboarding 20 minutes before the departure time. You should report to gate C2 by then. C2 isaround the corner and down the hall. Thank you and enjoy your trip."
Dear students, is everything tickety-boo?
How did you feel, did you remember all your tenses?
Now please practice your pronunciation and fluency pretending to be passengers.
Finally, lets try with a poem.
In The Park
She sits in the park. Her clothes are out of date.Two children whine and bicker, tug her skirt.A third draws aimless patterns in the dirt.Someone she loved once passed bytoo late.
To feign indifference to that casual nod.How nice etcetera. Time holds great surprises.From his neat head unquestionably risesa small balloonbut for the grace of God
They stand a while in flickering light, rehearsingthe childrens names and birthdays. Its so sweetto hear their chatter, watch them grow and thrive,she says to his departing smile. Then, nursingthe youngest child, sits staring at her feet.To the wind she says, They have eaten me alive.
By Gwen Harwood.

Mary: About a mile and a half.
Edward: How long does it take to get there?
Mary: 5 minutes or so.
Edward: Is it close to the subway station?

Unit 5: Apartment for rent
Last month, I decided to move out of my parents' place and start living on my own.
I searched in the newspaper for apartment listings and found a place not too far from my
work. The landlord showed me around the apartment, and because it suited my needs, Isigned the rental agreement and paid a deposit, some of which I might get back when Imove out.
The apartment has two bedrooms, one bathroom, a living room, and kitchen. It also has asmall utility room where I keep my washer and dryer. Right before I moved in, thelandlord put in new carpet and had the walls painted, so it looks like a new place.
The rent is $650 a month, not including utilities. I pay about $100 for gas, electricity,water, sewage, and Internet service.
Unfortunately, the apartment complex doesn't allow pets, so my dog has to stay with myparents for now.
I might get a roommate at some point to share expenses, but I haven't decided on that yet.
The place looks a little empty because it isn't furnished, but for the time being, I only havethe basics: a bed, a table, a small sofa in the living room, and a TV.
It's not as livable and cozy as my parents' place, but it will have to do for now.
Now, please review the vocabulary above and then move on for speaking practice.
Renting a Place of Your Own
Discussion
What is the process of finding an apartment in your hometown? Can you contact thelandlord directly, or do you have to go through a real estate agent? On average, how muchdoes it cost to rent a 1-bedroom apartment? Are most apartments already furnished, or doyou have to furnish it yourself?
Role Play
Imagine that you have lived with your roommates for six months, but you've decided tomove out because they haven't taken care of the place . . . pizza boxes tossed everywhere,dirty socks on the kitchen table, and a pet snake loose somewhere in the sofa.
Directions: Tell your partner about your current situation, and then explain what kind ofplace you are looking for.
Just figured that one is the proprietor and the other one is looking for a flat.

Unit 8: Passive voice
Passive voice is used when the focus is on the action. It is not important or it is not known,however, who or what is performing the action.
Example: My bike was stolen.In the example above, the focus is on the fact that my bike was stolen. I do not know,however, who did it.
Sometimes a statement in passive is more polite than active voice, as the followingexample shows:
Example: A mistake was made.
In this case, I focus on the fact that a mistake was made, but I do not blame anyone.
Example: You have made a mistake.
Form of PassiveSubject + finite form of to be + Past Participle (3rd column of irregular verbs)
Eg: A letter was written.
When rewriting active sentences in passive voice, note the following:
The object of the active sentence becomes the subject of the passive sentenceThe finite form of the verb is changed (to be + past participle)The subject of the active sentence becomes the object of the passive sentence (or isdropped)
Example Table 1
Tense Subject Verb Object
SimplePresent
Active: Rita Writes a letter.
Passive: A letter is written by Rita.SimplePast
Active: Rita Wrote a letter.
Passive: A letter was written by Rita.PresentPerfect
Active: Rita has written a letter.
Passive: A letter has been written by Rita.Future I Active: Rita will write a letter.Passive: A letter will be written by Rita.Hilfsverben Active: Rita can write a letter.Passive: A letter can be written by Rita.

Please, practice with more sentences before you work with the second table.

Active: Rita was writing a letter.
Passive: A letter was being written by Rita.Past Perfect Active: Rita had written a letter.Passive: A letter had been written by Rita.Future II Active: Rita will have written a letter.Passive: A letter will have been written by Rita.Conditional
I
Active: Rita would write a letter.
Passive: A letter would be written by Rita.ConditionalII
Active: Rita would have written a letter.
Passive: A letter would have beenwritten
by Rita.
Passive Sentences with Two Objects
Rewriting an active sentence with two objects in passive voice means that one of the two
objects becomes the subject, the other one remains an object. Which object to transforminto a subject depends on what you want to put the focus on.
Example Table 3
Subject Verb Object 1 Object 2
Active: Rita Wrote a letter to me.Passive: A letter was written to me by Rita.Passive: I was written a letter by Rita.
As you can see in the examples, adding by Rita does not sound very elegant. Thats why it
is usually dropped.
Personal and Impersonal Passive
Personal Passive simply means that the object of the active sentence becomes the subjectof the passive sentence. So every verb that needs an object (transitive verb) can form apersonal passive.
7/28/2019 Third English Manual (1)
16/102
14
Example: They build houses.Houses are built.
Verbs without an object (intransitive verb) normally cannot form a personal passivesentence (as there is no object that can become the subject of the passive sentence). If youwant to use an intransitive verb in passive voice, you need an impersonal construction
therefore this passive is called Impersonal Passive.Example: He says.It is said.
Impersonal Passive is not as common in English as in some other languages (e.g. German,Latin). In English, Impersonal Passive is only possible with verbs of perception (e. g. say,think, know).
Example: They say that women live longer than men. It is said that women live longerthan men.
Although Impersonal Passive is possible here, Personal Passive is more common.
Example: They say that women live longer than men. Women are said to live longer thanmen.
The subject of the subordinate clause (women) goes to the beginning of the sentence; theverb of perception is put into passive voice. The rest of the sentence is added using aninfinitive construction with 'to' (certain auxiliary verbs and that are dropped).
Sometimes the term Personal Passive is used in English lessons if the indirect object of anactive sentence is to become the subject of the passive sentence.
Directions: Please, rewrite the next sentences in passive:
1. Antares draws a cartoon.2. Antares drew a cartoon.3. Antares is drawing a cartoon.4. Antares was drawing a cartoon.5. Antares has drawn a cartoon.6. Antares had drawn a cartoon.7. Antares will draw a cartoon.8. Antares is going to draw a cartoon.9. Antares can draw a cartoon.10. Antares will have drawn a cartoon.11. Antares would draw a cartoon.12. Antares would have drawn a cartoon.13. Antares drew a cartoon for me.14. Antares drew a cartoon of dinosaurs.15. He draws.
Be careful with the last sentence, remember the information you have seen.

Jerry: Yeah, I'm just pulling your leg. Actually, I'm going to go down to Guizhou Province.
Fay: Really? Why would you go to Guizhou? It's not a very popular tourist site.
Jerry: Exactly! It's not very popular, so it won't be too crowded. I enjoyed my trip to theGreat Wall, but there were so many people there. I think it spoiled the atmosphere a bit.
Fay: I'm sure Guizhou won't be so crowded. But won't it be too hot in the summer?

Jerry: No, according to one of my students, it's very cool in the summer. He said it is"naturally air conditioned".
Fay: Well, that sounds good. I wouldn't mind getting away from the Beijing heat myself.Still, I wonder... is there anything worth seeing in Guizhou?
Jerry: Sure! For one thing, there's the beautiful natural scenery. I'm sure you've heard ofthe Huang Guo Shu Waterfalls. There's also the Maling Gorge which is said to bespectacular. There are mountains everywhere in Guizhou, even in the capital city ofGuiyang.
Fay: Yes, I have heard of Huang Guo Shu Pubu, but won't you get bored just looking at thescenery?
Jerry: Come on Fay, there's lots of things to do. I can go hiking in Qian Ling Park inGuiyang, visit Miao villages in the southeast, and I know you've heard of Zunyi, a veryhistorical city. It's where Mao Ze Dong first became the leader of the Red Army.
Fay: Gee, when you describe it like that, it sounds really interesting!
Jerry: And that's not all. I'll be able to eat very delicious, spicy food, drink world-famousmaotai, and my student told me I can meet some very beautiful women there!
Fay: I'm sure you'll have fun Jerry, but let me give you some advice. Be sure to hold ontoyour wallet AND your heart!
Jerry: We'll see what happens!
Fay: Do you have a place to stay in Guizhou?
Jerry: Yes, I'm very lucky. My student's sister is the manager of the Guizhou Park Hotel,the best hotel in the province. I've seen some pictures on the Internet, it's really nice! But Ithink outside Guiyang, I'll stay in a Miao village or maybe buy a tent and go camping.
Fay: That's great, Jerry. I'm looking forward to seeing your photos when you get back.
Now dear students, you are ready to expose your dreaming trip to class.
Choose a destiny and prepare carefully your exposition. Certainly, you can do it!

Unit 10: Phrasal verbs
Introduction to Phrasal Verbs:
Phrasal verbs are verbs with more than one word.
Examples: pick up, put down, turn on, turn offPhrasal verbs are also called "two-part verbs" and "three-part verbs."
Phrasal verbs have a different meaning than their one-word counterparts.
For example:Pick means to choose, but pick up means to lift something.Get means to obtain something, but get along with means to have a good relationship withsomeone.
Just a simple particle like: up or along with makes an entirely new meaning, and forthat reason, its very important to learn about phrasal verbs. Learning these phrasal verbsexpands your vocabulary greatly.
Phrasal verbs can be used in any tense simple present or past, present perfect, etc. Theycan also be used with modals, and used in the passive voice.
Examples: call up (s) = to telephone someone Present: I call up my friend every day. Past:I called my sister up yesterday. Present perfect: I havent called my brother up for a longtime. Modal: I would call him up, but hes never home. Passive: Hes been called up by
many people, but hes never available to talk on the phone.
There are two types of phrasal verbs: separable and non separable.
Non separable phrasal verbs are also called "inseparable". Non separable phrasal verbsmust always remain together:
Example: take off (n) = to departCORRECT: The plane took off at noon. (verb + particle together)INCORRECT: The plane took at noon off. (both words MUST be together)
Separable phrasal verbs can be written three different ways:
Example: take off (s) to remove clothingCORRECT: Sara took off her jacket. (verb + particle together)CORRECT: Sara took her jacket off. (verb + particle separated by noun)CORRECT: Sara took it off. (verb + particle separated with a pronoun)INCORRECT: Sara took off it. (the pronoun MUST be in the middle)
Abbreviations used in the next phrasal verbs tables: (N) = non-separable phrasal verb and(S) = separable phrasal verb
