We use various ways of communicating with each

other; the most effective are _________ and _________,
but these types of communication require people to be
present in front of each other. The problem arises when
two people are at a distance. The invention of the
_________ makes it possible to communicate even when
people are far away from each other. Unfortunately, this
channel only allows us to use our voice but not images.
However, the invention of the _________ helps
us share a huge amount of information

Countable / uncountable nouns + quantifiers

1. Pay attention to the following sentences from the recording.
a. Use a little cheese.
b. We eat so much food during our lives.
c. A lot of images that I make can take many days to complete.
d. I have a few plans.
2. What kind of word follows the words in bold? Can you count the items?
3. Nouns are divided into countable - which you can count - and
uncountable - which you cannot count.
Countable nouns are things you can count, for example tomatoes, pizzas,
olives, days, etc. They can be used in plural and singular.
Uncountable nouns cannot be counted as units. They are used only in
singular, for example pasta, butter, bread, spaghetti, cheese.
(Careful with the word fish. It is usually used in singular. For example: I
bought some fish for dinner. But when we refer to different species of fish
we can say: The fishes in the lake were salmon, eel, trout and carp.)
4. To indicate quantities related to these items we use many and a few with
countable nouns.
I don't need many tomatoes.
How many olives did you eat?
Give me a few ideas.
We use much and a little with uncountable nouns.
How much food did you buy?
The pizza didn't have much cheese.
I need to drink a little water.
5. We use a lot of for both countable and uncountable nouns.
Add a lot of cheese. Use a lot of tomatoes.
6. Classify all the food you can find on pages 80 and 81 into countable and
uncountable. Then write some sentences indicating quantity.

THREE NEW RESTAURANTS
S ome people say that being a restaurant reviewer is the best

job in the world but sometimes it's not. Visiting The Crazy
Cows was a disappointing experience. And the decoration was
The
Crazy Cows
crazy too - metal seats in repulsive black and white leather and
pictures of cows on the walls. Although I had a booking for a
table for two it took the staff 20 minutes to accommodate me and my partner. "We have too many
guests and not enough waiters," the manager explained. The appetiser arrived half an hour later - a
cold tomato soup with some old bread. When the steak came (well- done, please, I asked) it was
still red and looked uncooked. I asked for some garlic sauce for the meat but they didn't have any!
The experience was too bad to wait for dessert. "Do you have any fresh coffee?" I asked. And guess
what? They didn't have any. But I was really shocked when I received the bill. It was too
expensive. I didn't leave tip and left the restaurant very angry. It was a wasted evening. Take my
suggestion and don't visit The Crazy Cows!
T he second restaurant was El Mariscal. It has some potential

because of its great location and an exceptional selection of
ingredients. The food is excellent and the service impeccable,
the staff are friendly, well-presented and very polite. The
decoration is cheerful with lovely photos of the ocean and some
green transparent fish on the wall; the place has a great atmosphere. In general, it was the best
meal I've had for a long time. It was well-cooked and it came very quickly. First of all, I had
mussels with some parmesan cheese. They were delicious and really fresh. And, for the second
course, I chose salmon which came with butter and pepper sauce and some spicy potato purée and
asparagus. Last, I had some lovely dessert - passion fruit mousse and, to top it off, I drank a cup of
strong black coffee. Only one thing was not quite right - they didn't have any artificial sweetener
for coffee - just sugar. The meal was not too expensive either. I would definitely recommend El
Mariscal for a delicious meal.
C afé Dolce Vita is a lively and authentic Italian restaurant

with a typical decoration of simple tables covered with
cheerful red tablecloths and pictures of Italian landmarks such
as Rome and Venice. The best thing about the restaurant is the
price! If you order before 7 p.m. you get two dishes for the
price of one - a really good offer if you consider their size. I had
some Pasta Alfredo and my partner had cannelloni with spinach and a little cheese. We had some
tiramisu for dessert - really delicious. The restaurant didn't get full marks because the service was
not very good - the waiter was too slow. But overall, I would recommend the place mainly
because when we finished the food I felt really good and I thought that this is what restaurants
are all about - a good meal.

READING - EATING OUT THE JAPANESE WAY

Tomoe Sushi is one of New York's high quality sushi
restaurants, if you don't mind waiting in a line for a seat. I
really enjoyed my visit there - the sushi served is delicious
and a great value. We had some great rolls with salmon -
you could really feel they were fresh! Then we ordered a
portion of Trout Roses - 6 pieces. They were fantastic and
the rice was great - it was the right texture and not too
soft. I'm not a great expert at eating with chopsticks so it
took me a while to get the hang of it but once I tried it was
not too difficult. Finally, we had some Japanese green tea
and a few sweet rice cookies.

a. I wish I knew what kind of punishment to give you.
b. I wish I were somewhere else, but I'm here.
c. I wish I could scratch my nose.
2. What do the sentences express?

We use this structure when we would like things to be different from what
they actually are. We use the verb wish to refer to how we'd like things to be
in the present or to talk about how we would like things to be in the future.
3. The general concept is sometimes known as 'wishful thinking' and

often coincides with the use of ojalá in Spanish.
Here are more examples:
I wish you were here.
It's so hot today. I wish we had a cold drink.
4. Notice that we use the Past Tense after the verb wish.
10 Read these extracts from the text and write how Atlas would express

TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
Expressing what we want

1. We can express what we want using two expressions: want to and would
like to.
Examples: I want to be a fire fighter when I grow up.
I would like to be a pop singer when I'm older.
2. The only difference between the two is that would like to is more polite
or tentative than want to.
3. We sometimes use wish + infinitive as a formal alternative to want to or

would like to with reference to present and future wish situations.
Examples: I wish to make a complaint and I would like to see the manager.
I do not wish to renew my subscription; I want to cancel it
right now.
I wish to remove my name from your database. I want a
solution now.
I don't ever wish to see you again!
4. We can also use wish to express good wishes.

Examples: We wish you a merry Christmas.
We wish you a speedy recovery.
I wish you all the best on your birthday.

and in gardens, as well as on roof-tops and outer walls. The festival of lights is held in honour of
Lakshmi, the
Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity. Hindus pray to Lakshmi to bring them good luck in the
coming year.
Homes are cleaned to welcome the New Year and windows are opened so that Lakshmi can enter
them. It is
believed that she cannot enter a house which is not lit up, so every household burns special Diwali
clay lamps to
light the way for the goddess. For many years this festival has been very popular with children
because they have
a holiday from school. Additionally, for many years now people have used colourful fireworks
so children are really
delighted with the noise and colours. And apart from that, kids get presents and adults cook deliciou
s holiday
food. New clothes and jewellery are worn, many parties are organised and games are played. The
last day of the
holiday is a special day for brothers and sisters. Brothers give special presents to their sisters, who
cook for them
and look after them. But most importantly the festival celebrates the victory of good over evil,
light over darkness,
and knowledge over ignorance.

I’ve seen mummy kissing Santa Claus Then I’ve seen my mummy tickle Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe. Underneath his beard so snowy white.
She can’t see me go down the stairs to peek, What a laugh it would be

In my bed fast asleep Mommy kissing Santa Claus tonight!

The Present Perfect

1. Read these sentences from the texts.
a. Diwali has been for centuries the most popular of all the festivals
from South Asia.
b. We have not visited all the houses in our street yet.
c. How many times have you wanted to be part of us?
2. Which time do the sentences express?
a. The past b. The present c. Neither
3. The sentences in Point 1 use the Present Perfect tense, which indicates
that an action happened at an unspecified time before now; the exact
time is not important.
4. We CANNOT use the Present Perfect with specific time expressions such
as: yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in
Japan, at that moment, that day, one day, etc. We CAN use the Present
Perfect with unspecific expressions such as: ever, never, once, many
times, several times, before, so far, already, just, yet, etc.
5. Examine the structure and the examples.
Subject + has / have (not) + past participle
We haven't seen that film yet.
Tina has made lovely costumes.
6. Go back to the text and find more examples of the Present Perfect
tense. Identify the elements and copy them into your notebook. Use
color pencils to identify the components.

Play the BLIP game (sometimes known as COFFEE POT).

1. Play in groups of six students.
2. Choose a verb from the box below that indicates something that you have done recently.
3. The group must discover the verb through YES / NO questions using mainly the Present Perfect
tense, but other tenses can be accepted.
4. The nonsense word "BLIP" should replace your chosen verb until a player asks a question using
the real verb. If this is correct, it is that player's turn to choose a verb.
5. The aim of the game is not to guess the meaning of the word "Blip" straight away. When you
think you know the meaning of the word "Blip", you could ask further questions which make the
meaning of the word "Blip" clear to the rest of the group or which amuse the student who is
answering the questions.
Here are some sample questions.

• Have you blipped in the living-room / dining room / garden / street / kitchen / in a restaurant?
• Have you blipped with a friend / your teacher / your family / alone ?
• Have you blipped since you arrived at school / in the last twenty-four hours / this month / this year?
• Do you feel tired / happy / sad / angry / hungry / thirsty after you have blipped?
• Do you like blipping?
• Do you often blip?
• Did you blip yesterday?
