Now, let’s watch the video and find out what Monica’s real news is.

Then, asnwer the questions in exercise b

Role-play Coffee Shop

• You will be working in pairs. One of you will be Jenny and the other will be Monica. You are meeting up at a coffee shop to catch up on each other’s lives.
• Your task is to recreate the coffee shop conversation, but you will change the details and the news that Monica shares.
• Think of new, interesting, or funny news that Monica could tell Jenny, such as a new job, an exciting trip, or a funny story. Be creative!
• Jenny will ask Monica follow-up questions based on the news. Use phrases from the lesson to ask for more details or clarify information (e.g., “When did that happen?”, “How do you feel about it?”, “What are your plans now?”).

PERMISSION AND REQUESTS

Where is Rob? Who is he talking to?They are shaking hands. What do you think this means? How do you think Jenny feels in each picture? What makes you think that?

Request Chain Game

• We are going to play a Request Chain Game.
• I’ll start by asking one student for a favor, and that person must respond and then ask the next person for a different favor.
• Each time you make a request, use one of the structures we learned in the lesson (e.g., "Could you…?", "Would you mind…?"). The goal is to see how long we can keep the request chain going without repeating any requests. Example: "Could you lend me your book?" – "Sure, but could you help me with my homework first?"

Step 1: Detective Teams You will work in pairs. Each pair will receive a different section of the text. Your job as detectives is to carefully read and understand your section. Look for important details like what extras have to do, the difficulties they face, and anything else interesting.

Step 2: Prepare Your Questions After reading your part, discuss with your partner and come up with two questions based on your section of the text. These questions should be about key details or ideas from your section. Write them down along with the correct answers.

Interview Other Detectives

1. Now it’s time to test the knowledge of your classmates! You will ask your two questions to another pair.
2. When answering, the other pair will need to guess the information from the text based on your questions.
3. Be ready to explain the correct answer if they don’t get it right.

Pronunciation

regular and irregular past participles

rEGULAR PARTICIPLE

The pronunciation of regular past participles is the same as the regular past simple.There are three pronunciations of -ed: 1 -ed is pronounced /t/ after verbs ending in unvoiced sounds, e.g. /k/ looked, /p/ hoped, /f/ laughed 2 -ed is pronounced /d/ after verbs ending in voiced sounds, e.g. /v/ arrived, /dʒ/ changed, /l/ failed 3 -ed is pronounced /ɪd/ after verbs ending in /t/ hated or /d/ decided The most important of these three sounds to get correct is the third.

• Voiced sounds are made in the throat by vibrating the vocal chords.
• Unvoiced sounds have no vibration.

VÍDEO

Info

IRrEGULAR PARTICIPLE

The pronunciation of irregular past participles can be difficult because they show many of the irregularities associated with sound–spelling relationshipsin English. Be sure how to pronounce irregular participles when you learn them –this is especially important, as many of the most common verbs in English are irregular.

Vocabulary notes

• The coach is the non-playing person in charge of a sports team. He / She is in charge of training, tactics, and team selection. In British football, this person is called the manager.
• You usually use both words (= a compound noun) to describe the place where you do a sport, e.g. tennis court, football pitch.
• We say nil for a zero score in football and most other sports (e.g. Inter Milan beat Chelsea three–nil), but we say love in tennis (e.g. fifteen–love).

Many learners of English tend to always pronounce the letter s as the unvoiced sound /s/, as in bus. In fact, s in the middle or at the end of a word is often pronounced /z/, e.g. music, jobs, and -se is very often pronounced /z/, e.g. lose, revise, etc. At the beginning of a word, s is almost always /s/, with the exceptions of sure and sugar, where the s is pronounced /ʃ/. Double s is always pronounced /s/. Used can be pronounced both ways, with a /s/ or a /z/. When it is a main verb (e.g. I used Google maps to find the right way), it is pronounced /juːzd/, but when it is used to (e.g. I used to live in Seville), it is pronounced /juːst/.

In this Unit we are going to:

Pronunciation notes Here the focus is on two long sounds which are often mispronounced because of the sometimes irregular relationship between sound and spelling.

! Like is listed as a verb which takes the gerund; however, you may hear or see it used with the infinitive with to, e.g. in American English, and they will be understood using either form. However, in British English there is a subtle difference in meaning. Compare: I like getting up early in the morning. = I enjoy it. I like to get up early in the morning. = I think it is a good idea to do this (but I don't necessarily enjoy doing it).

• Some consonants in English have a single pronunciation – m is always /m/, k is always /k/, j is always /dʒ/, etc. But some consonants can have more than one pronunciation, depending on the surrounding letters, and c is a good example.
• The two most common pronunciations of c are /k/ and /s/.
• /ʃ/ isn’t very common, and is only when the letter c is before i + vowel. c can very occasionally be silent after the letter s, in words like science and scene.
• With words with double c, if the second c comes before e or i, the pronunciation is /ks/, e.g. success. If the second c comes before a, o or u, the pronunciation is /k/, e.g. account.

Diphthongs consist of two short vowel sounds which are combined to make one longer sound. The most common problem for Sts is that they may not make the sound long enough, or may pronounce it as just one sound.

What are Abstract Nouns? Abstract nouns refer to ideas, concepts, feelings, or qualities that we cannot see, touch, or physically measure. These nouns describe things like emotions, relationships, or states of being. Common examples of abstract nouns include words like happiness, freedom, love, or knowledge. Forming Abstract Nouns with "-ship" In English, one way to create abstract nouns from nouns that describe people or roles is by adding the suffix "-ship". This turns the original noun into something more abstract, usually describing a relationship or a state. For example:

• Friend becomes friendship, which describes the abstract idea of being friends or the relationship between friends.
• Leader becomes leadership, which refers to the role or qualities of being a leader.
• Member becomes membership, which refers to the state of being part of a group.

There is a kind of ‘hidden sound’ – /j/ – in words like music, and tend to pronounce them /ˈmuːzɪk/ or /ˈstuːdənt/. Use of the indefinite article a or an before words beginning with u. If the u is pronounced /ʌ/ (i.e. a vowel sound), then an is used, e.g. an umbrella, an uncle, but if u is pronounced /juː/ (i.e. a consonant sound), then a is used, e.g. a uniform, a university, a useful book.

🗣️ 1. Rhythm and stress In English, we don’t pronounce every word with the same strength. We stress the important words — usually the information words (verbs, nouns, adjectives) — and make the grammar words (like have, would, had, if, the) weaker. 👉 Example: “If I had known, I would have told you.” 🟢 Strong words: known, told ⚪ Weak words: if, I, had, would, have, you So the rhythm sounds like: IF I’d KNOWN, I’d’ve TOLD you. Try saying it with a natural rhythm — like small waves

Reported Questions Word order changes: no question word order in reported questions.

• Direct: “What was his name?”
• Reported: She asked what his name was.

Yes/No questions use if or whether:

• Direct: “Did you call the manager?”

• forgetting to change word order
• using did in reported questions
