Grammar:
First Conditional
- The first conditional is used to talk about things which might happen in the future. It connects a possible action (something you could do) with another possible action (something that could happen). The action usually starts with
if
. It is usually in the simple present. The consequence is usually in the future tense or uses a modal verb (can, should).
Listening:
Take Notes
- If you are given a handout or outline of a listening script, read it over before you listen. You don't need to write down every word. Just note the most important or useful ideas.
Pronunciation:
Pause after adverbial clauses
- Adverbial clauses give you more information about how the action is being completed. They have subjects and verbs, like sentences, but they are not complete thoughts. In conversations, pause after adverbial clauses.
Speaking:
Check for understanding
- To make sure that the person you are speaking to really understands what you are saying, you can use these phrases:
Do you know what I mean? Do you understand? Do you know what I'm saying? Did you get that? Are you following me? Any questions?
Reading:*
Take notes from a text* - Underline the most important details. Make an outline. Add one or two points from each paragraph.
Writing:
Write and itinerary
- many people write an itinerary to plan their vacations. An itinerary includes: The time and date of each item. Arrival/departure information. Sites to visit or activities to do. Information about meals.

Grammar:
Relative Clauses
- Relative clauses connect two sentences to give more information. Relative pronouns such as
who
,
which
, and
that
can be the subject or the object of the relative clause. Question words such as
where
and
when
can be used instead of relative pronouns and prepositions to make time and place clear.
Listening:
Find the best title
- The title for a listening text is like a very short summary. The title usually tells you about the whole text, not a specific detail.
Pronunciation:
Linking with w
- When one word ends with an
oo
sound, and the next word begins with a vowel (a, e, i, o, u), English speakers often connect the two words with a
w
sound.
Speaking:
Ask for and give suggestions
- Here are some useful phrases when you ask for and give suggestions:
Ask:
What/Where should I...? What/When do you think...? What is your opinion? Who/What/Where/When should...?
Give:
I suggest... I recommend... Why don't you...? How about...?
Reading:
Chose the best title
- Titles are usually a very short summary of the reading text. They have only the most important or interesting idea of the text, instead of any specific detail.
Writing:
Make a request
- If you are making a request in writing, it is probably formal. Include the following:
A greeting. A short summary of the situation. What you want. A line of thanks. Sign off, such as: Respectfully, Gratefully, Sincerely, Regards, etc.

Grammar:
The future
- Look at the different ways to express future. Although they are similar in meaning, they do have some differences.
Listening:
Make Inferences
- As you have learned in previous units, inferences are guesses about a reading or listening text. Inferences must be based on details that you hear. When you make an inference, check to see that it is reasonable. What details support your inference?
Pronunciation:
f and ph
- The letters
ph
sound the same as
f
.
Speaking:
Describe plans and arrangements
- When talking about plans and arrangements, use all four of the future forms discussed in the grammar section. When speaking:
I will
is shortened to
I'll
.
I am
is shortened to
I'm
.
The present progressive and simple present are used more often than
will
and
going to
.
Reading:
Make Inferences
- As you have learned in previous units, inferences are guesses about a reading or listening text. Inferences must be based on evidence, or details from the text. When you make an inference about a text, it helps to identify the details that led to the guess that you made.
Writing:
Reply to an invitation
- If you are replying to an invitation, you usually start by thanking the person who invited you. Then, you can follow with a phrase like these:
Positive Response:
See you there! I'll/We'll be there. Can I bring something?
Negative response:
Sorry, I can't make it. Let's get together soon! I wish I could come.
