SOME MORE PRACTICE
Task 1. Read the text and roleplay the conversation between the captain and Des.
The captain asks: how long Des has been living there; where he has been sleeping; what he has been eating and drinking; how he has been amusing himself.
‘On the Island’
Last November, Des was trying to row single-handed across the Pacific Ocean when there was a storm. He was shipwrecked on a desert island and has been living there ever since. It is now the middle of December and a rescue ship has just arrived at the island. The captain wants to find out how Des has managed to survive on the desert island for so long. Fortunately, Des kept a diary.
November 15th.
Not a bad island. Plenty of coconuts and bananas so I won’t die of hunger or thirst. I cut down some palm leaves and made myself a small shelter.
November 19th.
Made myself a fishing rod today. Caught some fish from the lagoon. Delicious! No sign of any ship.
November 25th.
Amused myself today – made a bamboo pipe and am now learning how to play it.
November 30th.
Went to the other side of the island. Found three more shells for my collection.
December 6th.
I’ve been living on this island for three weeks! When will somebody come?
Task 2.
How do you answer the questions, How do you do? and How are you?
Now read the text and answer the questions:
1. How many different examples of questions which are not really questions are mentioned in the text?
2. List all the ‘questions’ and say what other meaning they have.
“When is a question not a question?”
The answer to this could be: “When it’s a greeting”. Take ‘How do you do?’, for example. Although this ends in a question mark, it is not a question but a greeting. The correct response is to repeat the same ‘question’:’ How do you do?’
And again, if a friend stops you in the street and asks: ‘How are you?’, remember that this is not a true question. It would be extremely inappropriate to give a long description of your state of health. A simple ‘Fine, thanks’ is all they wish to hear, even though you may be wrapped in bandages as you speak.
If someone says at table: ‘Could you pass the milk?’, they will be surprised if you answer: ’Yes, I could’. This is not a question but a request. Likewise, ’Couldn’t you go and fetch them, James?’ sounds like a harmless question but is in fact a direct order to James.
Task 3. Look at the pictures and answer the questions:
1. Where are the people standing?
2. What are they waiting for?
3. Are the people of the same age, sex?
4. How many people are there at the bus stop in the second picture?
5. Did any of the women in the queue get on the bus?
6. What should the men have done?
“At a Bus Stop”
UNIT 7
| Grammar: Texts: Dialogue: | 1. The Past Simple Tense 2. The Past Tense of «be»: «was» and «were» 3. The repetition-word «one» 1. «Guy Fawkes» 2. «Dinosaurs» 1. «One Return to Hastings». |
Text One
«Guy Fawkes»
| Vocbulary: to have bonfires to dig a tunnel gunpowder treason to blow up a plot a match to burn a «guy» fireworks Beefeaters |
Who was Guy Fawkes? A man called Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. He and some other men dug a tunnel under the Houses of Parliament and then put a lot of gunpowder in the tunnel. They planned to light it on November 5th, the day the King opened Parliament.
On November 4th Guy Fawkes went into the tunnel and waited. But someone told the King about the plot. The King’s soldiers found the gunpowder under the Houses of Parliament and they also found Guy Fawkes, – with three matches ready in his hand. Some days later they burnt him to death.
So, November 5th became Guy Fawkes’ Night and every year people lit a bonfire and burnt a ‘guy’. Some families still do this in their gardens today, but often towns have big bonfires and fireworks in a park. Children still learn the rhyme:
| Remember, remember The fifth of November Gunpowder, treason and plot. I see no reason Why gunpowder treason Should ever be forgot! |
Following an old tradition, even today Beefeaters from the Tower look under the Houses of Parliament for gunpowder every 5th of November.
Text Two
«Dinosaurs»
| Vocbulary: a dinosaur to disappear shallow serious fossils |
Why did dinosaurs die out? Nobody knows for sure. Probably a change in the weather made serious problems for them. About 70 million years ago, the Rocky Mountains formed in North America. The plant life and the weather changed. Perhaps the dinosaurs couldn’t change fast enough.
People who like dinosaurs can see fossils in Dinosaur National Park. This park is in Utah and Colorado. Fossils are bones which have become stone. Fossils have taught us a lot about these great animals of the past.

Grammar Notes: Forms and Patterns.
1. The Past Simple Tense
| (a) Form: | regular verb + -ed |
| √ | I stopped. | √ | I drank. | |
| ? | Did you stop? | ? | Did I drink? | |
| x | He did not (didn’t) stop. | x | I did not (didn’t) drink. |
(b) We use the Past Simple:
1. to express a finished action in the past.
| e.g. We played tennis last Sunday. John left two minutes ago. |
2. to express actions which follow each other in a story.
| e.g. James came into the room. He took off his coat and sat down on the bed. Suddenly, he noticed somebody behind the curtain. He stood up and walked slowly across the room... |
(c) Adverbials. Time expressions usually used with the Past Simple are:
| last year/week etc | five years ago | yesterday | in 1978 etc. | then | when | just now |
(d) Spelling of regular pasts:
| Most regular verbs: | work – play – | worked played |
| Verbs ending in -e: | hate – like – | hated liked |
| Verbs ending in one stressed vowel + one consonant: | stop – plan – | stopped planned |
| Verbs ending in consonant + -y | study – try – | studied tried |
(e)Types of questions:
| Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605. | 1. Did Guy Fawkes try to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605? 2. Did Guy Fawkes try to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605 or 1610? 3. What did Guy Fawkes try to blow up in 1605? 4. Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament in 1605, didn’t he? 5.

2. The Past Tense of «be»: was and were
| I was you were he/she/it was we were you were they were | Was I? Were you? Was he/she/it? Were we? Were you? Were they? | I was not (wasn’t) you were not (weren’t) he /she/it was not (wasn’t) we were not (weren’t) you were not (weren’t) they were not (weren’t) |
3. The use of the repetition-word «one»

| e.g. They have two large rooms and a small one. He has an English book and two French ones. |
