2. Tasks to the new words. Listen to the audio exercise and check your answer:
1)Act out the dialogue. Use the adverbs in brackets to help you, and remember to pause at the
commas.
H (anxiously): Vivienne, you didn't answer my last letter. It took me a week to find your new
address! Why didn't you answer me? You knew I was waiting to see you and hear from you.
V (slowly): Mr. Hartley, I don't know what to say to you. I understand all the advantages of your
offer, and sometimes I feel sure that I could be happy with you. But then sometimes I am less sure. I
was born a city girl, and I am not sure that I would enjoy living a quiet life in the suburbs.
H:My dear girl, you will have everything that you want. You can come to the city for the theatre,
for shopping, and to visit your friends as often as you want. You can trust me, can't you?
V (seriously:) I trust you completely. I know you are the kindest of men, and that the girl who you
get will be very lucky. I heard all about you when I was at the Montgomerys'.
H: Ah! I remember so well the evening I first saw you at the Montgomerys'. I will never forget that
dinner. Come on, Vivienne, promise me. I want you. Nobody else will ever give you such a happy
home.
(suspiciously) Tell me, Vivienne, is there- is there someone else?
V (defensively:) You shouldn't ask that, Mr. Hartley. But I will tell you. There is one other person -
but I haven't promised him anything.
V (calmly): Do you think for one moment that I could come to your home while Heloise is there?
2) Look at the odd numbered sentences (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 ) and think of the missing verb([±]
= positive verb, B = negative verb). Don't write anything yet!
1 Diana was very angry because her husband the dinner.G
2 We went back to see the house where we had lived when we were children .
3 He couldn't catch the plane because he ___ his passport. [±]
4 The flat was very dirty because nobody had cleaned it for a long time.
5 We went back to the hotel where we on our honeymoon. [±]
6 The crocodile was hungry because it hadn't eaten anything for two days.
7 After I left the shop I suddenly remembered that I for the jacket. G
8 I ran to the station, but the last train had gone.

9 Miriam was surprised to hear that she ___ the exam. [±]
10 1 didn't want to lend Jane the book because I hadn't read it.
II Jack was angry because I__ him to my parry. G
12 They got to the cinema late and the film had started.
3)Read sentence 1 to B. If it 's not right, try again until B tells you 'That's right'. Then write in
the verb.
4) Listen to B say sentence 2.1f it's the same as 2 above, say 'T hat's right'. If no t, say 'Try
again' untiI B gets it right.
4.The using of If+ past, would +infinitive: It can be tricky to understand when it’s right to use
the second conditional instead of the first. I think it helps to remember that we normally use
the second conditional when we talk about imaginary situations, dreaming about possible
situations and how we would act consequently. For example:

Bad losers?
The hardest lesson to learn in sport is how to lose with dignity, without blaming your defeat on the
referees or refusing to shake hands with your opponent. Here are some famous moments when
losing was just too hard ...
In 1981 at Wimbledon a young John McEnroe was serving. The umpire said that his serve was 1
___, but McEnroe thought it was 2 ___ . He became furious and shouted 'You CANNOT be
serious!' at the umpire. He also called the umpire 'an incompetent fool!'
In the 2003 Athletics World Championship the 100 metres runner, Jon Drummond, was disqualified

journalists: 'He's still crying. We're making him drink water because he's becoming dehydrated.'

Salazar (who was last in the race), but Salazar didn't let him go 4 ___ him and Piquet crashed into
Salazar. Piquet jumped 5 ___ his car and started trying to hit and
kick Salazar (without much success!).
South Korean footballer Ahn jung-Hwan scored the goal that sent Italy 6 ___ the 2002 World Cup

match the president of the club, Luciano Gaucci. Announced that the player's contract would not be
renewed. 'That gentleman will never set foot in Perugia again,' Gaucci said. 'I have no intention of
paying a salary to somebody who has ruined Italian football.' Gaucci later apologized, but Ahn
Jung-Hwan left the club and never went back to an Italian club.
When England won the Rugby World Cup in 2003 by beating Australia in the last minute of
the match, the Australian Prime minister. John Howard. was so angry that in the medals ceremony
he almost threw the medals at the English players. His behaviour was described by a journalist as
being 'like an unhappy five-year-old at a birthday party who starts throwing toys around.' Adapted
from a British newspaper

Yes. I usually set my radio alarm to come on at 4.30 so that I can wake up slowly as ! listen to the
world news. I set my phone alarm for 4.45 and leave it on the other side of the room so I have to get
up to turn it off!

It depends - some mornings I feel rested and awake, but other mornings it's quite hard to get out of
bed. It depends on the season. I find I need much more sleep in the winter.

If I'm slow to get up, then I wait until I'm in the studio before having breakfast, but most mornings I
have a bowl of cereal before I leave the house.

That depends on the season too. In the summer I usually wait until the morning to decide. But in the
winter I often leave clothes out the night before so that I can stay in bed until the last minute!

A car picks me up at 5.20.
7 ____________________________________________________________
In the winter, any time between 8.30 and 9.30 p.m. In the summer, usually more like 9.00 to 10.00
p.m.

What social life? I certainly can't go out for a wild night during the week, but I'm lucky because a
lot of my closest friends live near me, so I can see them in the evenings and still go to bed quite
early.

Sometimes I think I would like to have more normal working hours, but I love my job so much that
I'd never want to give it up. The buzz of being 'live' on the radio early in the morning as people start
their days is really wonderful.
