NOTES TO THE STUDENT

The Student Text for Book 20, Level IV, has four lessons and one review lesson, daily evaluations and homework assignments, and various appendixes. The homework and evaluation exercises are at the back of this text. The evaluation exercises are short quizzes and will be given after each lesson is completed. The daily homework assignments will require about two hours to complete. The appendixes are after the fifth lesson. Appendix A, Part One, is an alphabetical list of the new vocabulary presented in this book. Next to the word is the number of the lesson where the word is introduced. Appendix A, Part Two, is a Glossary of the vocabulary presented in the book. It is divided into lessons. You are to use this Glossary in order to prepare for the lesson. Appendix B is a list of the grammar structures presented in this book. Next to the structure is the number of the lesson where the structure is presented. The rest of the appendixes are reference materials. The American Language Course focuses on four areas:

The functions are the ways we use a language to communicate. There are exercises in the lessons that show you how and when to use certain words, phrases, and sentences in a particular situation.

The grammar structures in the lesson are the forms you need to speak and write correctly.

There are exercises in the lessons to help you improve your skill or ability in listening, speaking, reading or writing.

The words and expressions presented in the lesson are those you will need to do the functions and the grammar exercises. The first page of each lesson is the focus page. It provides a summary of the material that will be presented in the lesson.

LABEL

Maria went to the store to purchase groceries for the party. She had a good deal of food to buy but not a great deal of money to spend, so she shopped carefully. She read the label on each item and tried to buy the largest quantity at the lowest cost.

Maria soon found all of the items on her list except the kind of mustard that she liked. She had just decided to buy a different kind when she noticed one small jar of mustard that stood apart from the others. It was what she was looking for.

Maria filled out a check but wrote the wrong amount on it. Thus, the cashier couldn't accept it. She had to tear it up and write another one. While she filled out the second check, the clerk put her purchases into sacks. He used a plastic bag for the frozen food and paper bags for everything else.

One of the bags tore as the clerk was loading it into the car. Maria was worried about the jar of mustard, but only a jar of pickles broke. Apart from that, nothing was damaged. The clerk brought Maria a new jar of pickles and another bag to replace the one that was torn.

TROUBLESOME ENGLISH Who vs. Whom in Formal and Informal English

About whom are you reading? I'm reading about Abraham Lincoln.

In formal English, the preposition usually comes before whom when a question is asked: To whom are you giving your book? My teacher. From whom did you get a letter? My cousin. In informal American English, who is often used instead of whom. The preposition is then placed at the end of the question: Who are you speaking to? Who are you reading about? Who did you get a letter from?

DICTIONARY TERMS, ABBREVIATIONS, AND SYMBOLS

In order to benefit from using a dictionary, you must know the meaning of certain terms, abbreviations, and symbols. Read the information below and discuss it with your instructor. You will need to know it to complete the dictionary skills exercise which follows this explanation.
Parts of Speech

Words are divided into groups called parts of speech. The group to which a word belongs depends on the way the word is used in a sentence. There are eight parts of speech: noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, conjunction, preposition, and interjection. 1. noun (n.): A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, or idea. A noun can be singular (sing.) or plural (pi.). A singular noun names one; a plural noun names more than one. EXAMPLES: Table, idea, milk, John, and Jan are singular nouns. Books, pens, meals, women, and men are plural nouns. 2. pronoun (pron.): A pronoun is a word that can be used in place of a noun. EXAMPLES: Has Mary told Jim about the meeting? told him yet. Did you see the new jet? No, she hasn't

Yes, I saw it.

3. verb (v.): A verb is a word that tells or describes an action, being, or state of being. A verb has four principal (main) parts:
EXAMPLES: is/am/are being work working eat eating going go put putting

was/were worked ate went put

been worked eaten gone put

The letter is on the small table. She works more than fifty hours a week David put his chair near the fireplace. He's eating his lunch in the cafeteria. They went into military service after high school 86

A transitive verb (v.t.) requires an object to complete its meaning. The object is a noun or pronoun which tells who or what received or was affected by the action of the verb. EXAMPLES: Alan scored three goals during the game. I watched an interesting T.V. program last night. An intransitive verb (v.i.) does not need an object. EXAMPLES: We drove to the beach last weekend. Dan works out at the gym almost every day.

4. adjective (adj.): An adjective is a word that tells which, what kind of, or how many. It modifies a noun. EXAMPLES: The young woman wore a blue uniform. He became cold as he walked down the icy path. That customer wants to return several items.

5. adverb (adv.): An adverb is a word that tells how, when, where, how much, or how often. EXAMPLES: Bob drove slowly. We left class early. He slept here. She often goes to a French restaurant.

6. conjunction (conj.): A conjunction is a word that joins or connects words or groups of words. EXAMPLES: The sergeant and the lieutenant left. The captain signed the letter, but the major didn't. We canceled the picnic because the weather was bad.

7. preposition (prep.): A preposition is a word that is used with a noun or pronoun to show its connection with another word. EXAMPLES: The cat is under the table. This gift is for Tom. He usually wakes up at 0600. An interjection is a word that

8. interjection (interj.): expresses a strong feeling. EXAMPLES:

Wow! Have you tasted the soup? Oh! I didn't see you.

Definitions of Words

Words are defined in the dictionary; that is, the dictionary gives the meanings, or definitions, of words. Many words have multiple meanings and can be used as more than one part of speech.

Then

Each one of the We will learn about

The electrical system of an automobile is divided into two parts. The ignition system is one of those parts. It provides the spark that is used to ignite the mixture of air and gas. This spark is supplied by the spark plug.

97

2.

The Hydraulic Brake System

All modern cars have a hydraulic brake system. The word "hydro" means "water, or liquid." Hydraulic means "operated by the movement of liquids." The brake fluid is the liquid that is used in this system. The fluid forces the system to operate when you step on the brake pedal.

98

3.

The Fuel System

carburetor

The fuel system of an automobile has four parts: a fuel tank, a fuel pump, rubber pipes, or hoses, and a carburetor. The carburetor mixes the gasoline with the air. The fuel pump, whose action is very much like that of a toy water gun, pumps fuel from the tank to the carburetor. The accelerator controls the amount of gasoline used by the carburetor. The driver controls this action with the gas pedal. When you accelerate or step on the gas, you allow more gasoline-air mixture to enter the engine. This in turn makes the car run faster.

gasoline-air mixture

99

4.

The Transmission, or Gear Box

The transmission, or the gear box, provides the engine with a system of gears. These gears pass on, or transmit, mechanical power from the motor to the other parts. There are two types of transmission systems: standard transmission and automatic transmission. In a standard transmission, the gears are shifted, or moved, manually (by hand) using the gear shift lever. This type of transmission is also called manual transmission. The gear shift lever allows the driver to shift gears. In an automatic transmission, the gears aren't shifted manually; they're shifted automatically. In a standard transmission, the clutch connects or disconnects the engine to the transmission. The driver controls this action by stepping on and releasing the clutch pedal.

MORE ABOUT AUTOMOBILES

Repeat the underlined words. Listen to the paragraphs, and then read them. Let's continue our study of automobiles. In this lesson we will learn about the combustion process in the engine, the lubrication system, and the cooling system.

cylinder head intake manifold exhaust manifold exhaust valve

1.

The Combustion Process

We have studied that the carburetor supplies the mixture of gasoline and air to the engine. We have also learned that the spark plugs, which are part of the ignition system, provide the spark to ignite the gasoline and air mixture. Before we examine the combustion process, let's take a look at some of the components, or parts, of an engine. The two most important components of the process of combustion are the cylinder and the piston. All automobile engines have a certain number of cylinders and pistons. For this reason, we talk about eightcylinder engines, six-cylinder engines, and four-cylinder engines. 137

Because combustion takes place inside the cylinder, we call this type of engine internal combustion engine. In an external combustion engine, such as a steam engine, combustion takes place outside the cylinder. In all automobile engines combustion takes place internally. During the combustion process, a combustible mixture of air and gasoline enters the cylinder. The spark ignites the mixture. The heated air pushes the piston down. This movement of the piston uncovers an opening through which the exhaust leaves. When the hot gasses are eliminated, or removed, the piston moves up and the process is repeated. Read the question. Another student will answer it.

344.What are the two most important components of an engine for the process of combustion? 345.Why is the automobile engine called internal combustion engine? 346.What is left after combustion takes place? 347.How is this exhaust eliminated from the cylinder?

138

2.

The Lubrication System

The lubrication system has three purposes, or uses. First, it reduces the friction between parts that move. Secondly, it takes heat away from the engine. And lastly, it cleans engine parts as it lubricates them. Friction is severe along the surface of the piston where it touches, or rubs, against the cylinder wall. Pistons and cylinders must be well lubricated in order to prevent overheating and reduce wear. There are many other parts of the engine that must also have lubrication in order to reduce wear and tear. An oil pump, an oil gauge (gage), and an oil filter, or cleaner, are parts of the lubrication system. The oil pump circulates, or moves, the oil to the various engine parts that need lubrication. An oil gauge is used for the purpose of showing the pressure of the oil. An oil filter cleans, or filters, the oil.

The Cooling System


OR

RADIAT

All internal combustion engines have some type of cooling system because of the high temperatures they generate during operation. Water is often used as a coolant. When a vehicle is operated in hot or cold weather, antifreeze should be added to the water in order to prevent freezing or overheating. A simple liquid-cooling system is composed of a radiator, a coolant pump, rubber hoses, a fan, and a thermostat. The coolant circulates through the system removing heat from the hot metal. A thermostat regulates, or controls, the engine temperature. It automatically controls the flow of the coolant from the radiator to the engine.

4.

Maintaining an Automobile

The life of an automobile engine depends largely on preventive maintenance. Frequent tune-ups, oil changes, and the quick repair of malfunctions help keep an automobile useful for longer periods of time. Engines with more than 100,000 miles often need a major overhaul. In order to overhaul the engine, it's sometimes necessary to tear it down (disassemble it) and then rebuild it. The gauges inside the car need to be working properly in order for the owner to keep the car in good condition. The fuel gauge, temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, and speedometer should be fixed immediately if they malfunction. You don't want to run out of gas, have an overheated engine, or travel faster than the speed limit.

FOUR IMPORTANT SPELLING RULES There are four spelling rules which will help you spell thousands of words.

Rule 1. Words Ending in Silent -e

SHORT RULE Before a vowel, drop the -e. Before a consonant, let it be.

When a word ends in silent -e, drop the ^e before a suffix beginning with a vowel, but retain it before one beginning with a consonant. Notice what happens to the final ^e in the following words when a suffix is added. close take arrange closed taker arrangement closing taking arranging

Rule 2.

Final Consonants C = Consonant V = Vowel

SHORT RULE Double one C after one V if it accented be.

When a word ends in a single consonant after a single vowel in an accented syllable, you double the consonant before a suffix beginning with a vowel.

Notice what happens in these words of one syllable:


stop begin help stopped helped stopping beginning helping stopper beginner helper

Now look at these words:


ship shipped shipping shipment

The same general rule applies to words of more than one syllable if the accent falls on the last syllable.
prefer preferred preferring refer referred referring

D-l

But look at these words: prefer preferable refer reference

They end in a single consonant with a single vowel before it and are accented on the last syllable. But the final consonant is not doubled before the suffix even though it begins with a vowel. Notice what happens to the accent in these words when the suffix is added, it is shifted forward. When the accent does not remain on the syllable, the final consonant is usually not doubled before a suffix. The final consonant in any word is doubled before a suffix only under these conditions: a. The word must end in one consonant with one vowel before it.

b. If the word has more than one syllable, the accent must be on the last syllable and remain on the same syllable. c. The suffix must begin with a vowel.

Rule 3.

Final -y

SHORT RULE After a consonant, -y becomes -i. After a vowel, -y stays -y.

If a consonant comes before final -y, -y changes to -i before all suffixes except -ing. If a vowel comes before -y, -y does not change. Notice these words with a consonant before final -y: carry marry study carried married studied carries marries studies carrying marrying studying

Notice these words with a vowel before final -y; delay journey employ delayed j ourneyed employed delays j ourneys employs delaying journeying employing

Appendix F

CONDITIONAL SENTENCES There are three basic types of conditional sentences discussed in this appendix. Each type has two parts: the if-clause and the main clause.

REAL PRESENT/FUTURE CONDITION

This type of conditional sentence is used to show what may/will happen in the present/future if a certain condition happens. When the if-clause has the present tense, the main clause uses the present or future tense. Note that the if-clause may come before or after the main clause. When the if-clause comes after the main clause, there is no comma between the clauses.

If Clause

Main Clause

If the weather is good,


If he can,

we drive to the beach. we will drive to the beach. he calls home everyday. he's going to call home today.

Main Clause

If Clause

Sam goes fishing on Fridays Sam will go fishing this Friday


She goes to the movies every week She will go to the movies this week

if he has time.
if she has extra money.

UNREAL PRESENT CONDITION

If-clauses that refer to an unreal, or hypothetical, situation in the present use verbs in the subjunctive mood. Their forms are the same as those of the past tense, except for the verb be, Were, not was, is used with singular nouns and I, he, she, and it. Such a situation is also called a contrary-to-fact condition. F-l

If Clause

Main Clause he would probably feel better, we could get home before dark. I'd follow the doctor's advice.

If If If

he exercised regularly, we left earlier, I were you,

Main Clause

If Clause

Bob wouldn't get so confused You could get your money back This might be a better movie

if he followed instructions, if you had your sales slip, if it weren't so long.

PAST UNREAL CONDITION

Another type of conditional sentence is used to show a past unreal condition or situation. It tells what could, would, or might have happened in the past if a certain condition or situation had been true. The if-clause has the past perfect tense, and the main clause uses could have/might have/would have + a past participle. If Clause
Main Clause

If we had left earlier, If you had had more money, If Jay had seen the doctor,

we might have been on time. you could have bought a house, he wouldn't have gotten so ill,

Main Clause

If Clause

Ed could have passed He might have gone with you Jane would have called John

if he had studied harder. if you had invited him. if she hadn't been so busy.
