Pronunciation notes The /ʌ/ sound The most common spelling of this short sound is u between consonants, e.g. up, husband, sun, etc. However, o can also make this sound as in the family words mother, brother, etc., and also ou, e.g. young. The letter o The two most common pronunciations of the letter o are /ɒ/ (e.g. clock) and /əʊ/ (e.g. phone), and two less common ones are /ʌ/ (e.g. up) and /uː/ (e.g. boot). Clock and up are short sounds, boot is a long sound, and phone is a diphthong.

Possible morals

  • Don’t ask for more than you need.
  • Different things are important to different people.
  • Be happy when you have enough.

Here and there

"Here" se usa para indicar un punto exacto cerca del hablante. Ejemplo: "Put the shirt here" (Poné la camisa aquí). "There" se usa para indicar un punto exacto lejos del hablante. Ejemplo: "Put the shirt there" (Poné la camisa allí). "Over here" and "Over there" se usan para referirse a puntos inexactos. Ejemplo: "The shirt is over here/ over there" (La camisa está por acá/por allá).

"This" y "these" se usan para referirse a cosas que están cerca del hablante. This (singular): Se usa para una cosa que está cerca. Ejemplo: "This shirt" (esta camisa) "This sweater" (este suéter) These (plural): Se usa para más de una cosa que están cerca. Ejemplo: "These shirts" (estas camisas) "These sweaters" (estos suéters) "That" y "those" se usan para referirse a cosas que están lejos del hablante.

Open your book on page 105.Describe the picture and discover the differences.

Verbs + -ing Some verbs in English are followed by another verb in the -ing form. The most common of these verbs are verbs of liking and disliking: love, like, enjoy, don’t mind, don’t like, hate. If we use another verb after these verbs, it often takes the -ing form. I love going to the gym. I like reading. I enjoy travelling. I don’t mind cooking. I don’t like doing homework. I hate getting up early. The second verb is in the -ing form in the past, too. When I was a child, I hated going to school.

In this Unit we are going to:

  • Revise the uses of be and do.
  • Focus on the vocabulary of musical instruments and musicians.

In this Unit we are going to:

  • Focus on how to say the date
  • Revise the months
  • Learn ordinal numbers.
  • Focus on the grammar, like, love, etc. + the -ing form,
  • Talk about what free-time activities you like and dislike and your favourite or least favourite month / day / week.
  • Write aboutyour own favourite times.

Giving opinions

  • When we give our opinion, we give extra stress to the ‘opinion’ word, e.g. He’s fantastic.

The ‘Blue Zones’ are five places where many people live for a long time. Alexis is 102 and María is 97.

There is a clear difference in use between the present simple and present continuous:

  • The present simple is used for habitual actions (things which are always true or which happen every day).
  • The present continuous is used for temporary actions, things happening now / at this moment, or around now.
Stative verbs, e.g. want, like, need, have (= possess), and know, are not normally used in the present continuous

Open your book on page 104.Read the article about Ikaria, answer the questions and tell Students B about the life there.

Work in pairs. Students A interview Sts B and circle their partner’s answers. Then, the pairs swap roles, and Sts B interview Sts A and circle their answers. When you have finished, calculate your partner’s score and tell him / her the result.

Pronunciation notes /j/

  • y at the beginning of a word is always pronounced /j/, e.g. yes.
  • Some words containing u or ew also have a ‘hidden’ /j/ sound, e.g. music, student, new, etc.

Possible morals

  • Don’t ask for more than you need.
  • Different things are important to different people.
  • Be happy when you have enough.

Warning We cannot use phrases such as 'The price is...', 'The cost is...', or 'I paid the money'. They are not grammatically wrong but they sound unnatural, unnecessary, and weird.

In this Unit we are going to:

  • Learn the possessive ’s (e.g. Who is he? He’s Brad Pitt’s brother.) and the question word Whose…?.
  • Learn the vocabulary of family members.
  • Focus on the /ʌ/ sound, and the most common pronunciations of the letter o.

Open your book on page 110.Describe the picture and discover the differences.

Instructions 1️⃣ The teacher will say a starting word. 2️⃣ One student from one team says a word related to it (e.g., "ocean" → "waves"). 3️⃣ The next student from the other team continues with another related word (e.g., "waves" → "surfing"). 4️⃣ You CANNOT repeat words or take too long (max 5 seconds). 5️⃣ If you hesitate, repeat a word, or say something unrelated, the other team gets a point.

Slang terms for money in the UK £1 - "A quid" (This is probably one of the most common slang terms for pounds.) £5 - "A fiver" (A widely used term for a £5 note.) £10 - "A tenner" (Similarly, a £10 note is often referred to as a tenner.) £20 - "A score" or "a pony" (A less common term, but still heard occasionally.) £50 - "A bullseye" or "a nifty" (These are more old-fashioned terms but may still be heard in certain contexts.) £100 - "A ton" or "a century" (Both these terms are used to refer to a £100 note.) £500 - "A monkey" (This term comes from old slang, where different amounts of money were associated with different animals.) £1000 - "A grand" (This is commonly used to denote £1000.)

Pronunciation notes

  • There are two main pronunciation problems related to can / can’t:
  • Can is usually unstressed = /kən/ in positive sentences like I can sing. If you stress can, the listener may think you are saying a negative sentence.
  • The negative can’t is always stressed. Not stressing it can cause a communication problem (the listener may understand can, not can’t).
  • The pronunciation of this word varies among different groups of native English speakers. The standard pronunciation is /kɑːnt/, but there are regional variations.
  • The important thing is to make sure that you stress /kɑːnt/ quite strongly.

Open your book on page 104.Read the article about Ikaria, answer the questions and tell Students B about the life there.

In this Unit we are going to:

In this lesson we are going to:

  • Learn the present continuous (used for what is happening now or for temporary actions / situations)
  • Focus on the /ŋ/ sound, used in all present continuous endings.
  • Learn to express what the people are doing.

Verbs + -ing Some verbs in English are followed by another verb in the -ing form. The most common of these verbs are verbs of liking and disliking: love, like, enjoy, don’t mind, don’t like, hate. If we use another verb after these verbs, it often takes the -ing form. I love going to the gym. I like reading. I enjoy travelling. I don’t mind cooking. I don’t like doing homework.

There is a clear difference in use between the present simple and present continuous:

  • The present simple is used for habitual actions (things which are always true or which happen every day).
  • The present continuous is used for temporary actions, things happening now / at this moment, or around now.
Stative verbs, e.g. want, like, need, have (= possess), and know, are not normally used in the present continuous
