Handwriting
When you write in English you can print out your letters one at a time, which is easy to
read, but can be slow, or you can use "joined up" writing, also called "cursive", which is
quicker to write, but can be difficult to read if your handwriting is bad.
Print your letters one at a time.

A good sentence to practise your handwriting is:
"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."

Telling the Time

We measure the time in seconds, minutes and hours.
There are 24 hours in a day.
There are 60 minutes in an hour.
There are 60 seconds in a minute.
To tell the time you usually use a clock or a watch.
A clock:

There are analogue clocks and watches and there are digital clocks and watches.

Digital clocks and watches show the exact
hours and minutes in numbers. They use

numbers on the "face" to show the hours

and lines to show the minutes. An
analogue clock also has "hands", a short
hand to show the hour, a longer hand to
show the minutes, and sometimes a long
thin hand to show the seconds.

Telling the time to the half hour or quarter hour

There are 15 minutes in quarter of an hour.
There are 30 minutes in half an hour.
There are 45 minutes in three quarters of an hour.
When it's past the hour (up to 30 minutes past) we say "past".
When it's before the hour (after 30 minutes past) we say "to".
49
30 minutes is half an hour, we say "half past" or "thirty".

15 minutes is quarter of an hour. At 15 minutes past the hour we say "quarter past" or
"fifteen". At fifteen minutes to the hour we say "quarter to" or "forty-five".

There are 24 hours in a day, but only the military, police and computer programmers use
the 24-hour clock. When writing or speaking generally we tend to use the 12-hour clock.
The 24 hours of the day are divided into two periods called a.m. (Latin "ante meridiem" |
English: "before mid day") and p.m. (Latin "post meridiem" | English: "after mid day").
The way people write the time varies. I prefer a.m. and p.m.
Choose from the following styles or use what your English teacher tells you to and stick
to it:a.m. p.m.
am pm
AM PM
A.M. P.M.
Some people (myself included) use a dot as the separator: 2.30 pm.
Some people use a colon as the separator: 2:30 pm. The colon is usually used with the
24-hour clock: 14:30.

And the pretty wildwood flowers.
May brings grass and leafy trees,
Waving in each gentle breeze.
June brings tulips, lilies, roses,
Fills the children's hands with posies.
July brings the greatest heat,
Cloudless skies and dusty street.
August brings the golden grain,
Harvest time is here again.
Warm September brings the fruit,
Sportsmen then begin the shoot.
Brown October brings the last;
Of ripening gifts from summer past.
Dull November brings the blast,
Then the leaves are falling fast.
Cold December brings the sleet,
Blazing fire, and Christmas treat"

Cardinal numbers express quantity: two (2), thirty-five (35) etc...
Ordinal numbers indicate order or rank: first (1st), second (2nd), third (3rd) etc...
The definite article "the" normally goes in front of an ordinal number: e.g. "Queen
Elizabeth the second."

Summer
The earth is warm, the sun's ablaze,
it is a time of carefree days;
and bees abuzz that chance to pass may see me snoozing in the
grass.
Autumn
The leaves are yellow, red, and brown,
a shower sprinkles softly down;
the air is fragrant, crisp, and cool,
and once again I'm stuck in school.
Winter
The birds are gone, the world is white,
the winds are wild, they chill and bite;
the ground is thick with slush and sleet,
and I can barely feel my feet.
Spring
The fields are rich with daffodils,
a coat of clover cloaks the hills,
62
and I must dance, and I must sing to see the beauty of the spring.

Asking Questions
81
"Whose .......?" is used to find out whether something belongs to

someone.
The answer to the question "Whose .......?" must always have
an 's or use a possessive adjective.
For example:Q) "Whose book is this?"
A) "It's Mr Bean's book." or "It's his book."
Note!
Don't confuse the --'s of possession with the contraction of the verb is:
Noun + 's = possessive or is?

's = possessive
Lynne's name. = Her name.

Bob's house. = His house.
's = is
My name's Lynne. = My name is Lynne.
Bob's nice. = Bob is nice.
Who's English? = Who is English?

'Will' is often shortened to ...'ll.

I'll, you'll, he'll, she'll, we'll, they'll and even (although it's not good
English) you might hear it'll
The negative of 'will' is 'will not' - often shortened to won't

!Note! 'Will' on its own is not used for things we have arranged or decided to do.
"Will" is usually used in these situations:Volunteering to do something: (The phone is ringing). I'll answer it.
Promising to do something:
(A friend is leaving) I'll visit you in the summer.
Deciding to do something :
(Your car won't start) I'll buy a new car.
Ordering someone to do

The negative of 'shall' is 'shall not' - often shortened to shan't
shall not / shan't
In British English 'Shall' is often used instead of will in the first person (I/we).
I / We will
I shall be at work on time.
We shall win the
competition.
They shall not pass!
= I / We shall
=
I will be at work on time.
We will win the competition.

Unit 8 - Lesson 40
'Going to' and the future continuous
Remember It
The present continuous
Learn It
The future continuous
The future continuous is formed using the present continuous form + a

future time.
We use the future continuous when we intend or plan to do something at a
specific time in the future.
For example:
I'm picking him up at the airport this afternoon.
I'm flying to England tomorrow.
Statements
Positive
He's working next week.
Negative
He isn't working next week.
Questions
119
Closed questions
Is he working on Sunday?
Open questions
What is he doing on Sunday?
Going to
The future using 'going to' is formed using 'subject + to be + going to +

infinitive'.
We use 'going to' when we intend or plan to do something some time in the
future.
For example:
I'm going to study English literature.
!Note - We don't usually say "going to go to a place or event", instead you

can drop the go to and just say "going to + a place or event".
For example:
I'm going to England.
I'm going to the concert.
Statements
Positive
He's going to work next week.

Like
As a verb like can mean to enjoy or approve of.
For example:"I like your new car."
Like can also mean similar to or in the same way.
For example:Q. "What does he look like?" - A. "He looks like his brother."
The expression would like is used when we make requests and offers.
For example:"I' d like another glass of wine, please."
However "What is he/she/it like?" is a specific question about the personality of
someone or the attributes of something, here you do not use like in the answer.
For example:Q. "What is he like?" - A. "He is very nice."
Q. "What is it like?" - A. "It is very reliable."

Talking About Food And Making Arrangements

First Learn Some Food Vocabulary Here (Opens in new window)
Foody Language
These days in the UK, everywhere you look there's food. There are posters in the street
telling you to buy this or that. Market stalls are piled high with exotic fruit my mother
certainly wouldn't have recognised. Things like kumqwats, dragon fruit etc. This recipe on
the Waitrose website calls for papaya, physalis, lychees and passion fruit. Exotic Fruit
Platter, notice they don't say exotic fruit salad. After all, platter sounds much more
impressive!
Switch on the television and it seems as if there is a food programme on every channel.
Here in the U.K. we even have a dedicated food channel!
And nowadays food is sexy, it's no longer something that simply keeps body and soul
together. As a result food is accompanied by its own special language. In fact it seems as
if everyone in England has turned into a foody.
Listen to Nigella Lawson, a television chef. She uses word such as luscious, smooth,
flowing, gritty, sublime, buttery to describe something that when all is said and done is a
pretty basic pudding. Watch other videos featuring her and you're likely to hear a range of
foody words:In the UK dinner parties are very popular, but how do you organise one? Listen to Frank
and Nicole discuss arranging a party:Here's the dialogue:Frank - I think it's about time I held a dinner party. Ive been out to dinner lots of times, so
it must be my turn. What do you think?
Nicole - What do I think? Well, youve only got 4 dining chairs, and one of them has a
wobbly leg.
Frank - True, but I could have a barbie. Even the word makes your mouth water.
Gorgeous beef, marinated pork and luscious juices dribbling down your chin. Lots of cold
164
beer and a bowl of coleslaw. Its so easy. As for my so called wobbly legs, everyone can
sit on the grass.
Nicole - Ive been to one of your barbeques. Three hours to burn a sausage, but by then
everyone has drunk so much beer they dont care.
Frank - Exactly!
Nicole - And what are you going to give the vegetarians?
Frank - That's easy. I won't invite any. Only one problem; it might rain.
Nicole - I'll tell you what. We can hold the party here. Ill make sticky toffee pudding and
you can buy lots of nibbles from the delicatessen. A big bowl of salad and some drinks
and Bob's your uncle. Then while everyone is waiting for the food to heat up they can all
help me to lay the new tiles in my bathroom.
Frank - You've got to be joking!
Nicole - Yes. Of course I am. We can forget the salad no one ever eats it anyway.
Beginnings, Endings and Delays

This lesson requires YouTube access.
Remember It
Revise opening and closing times.
Learn It
This is the start of this lesson.
There are lots of words and phrases in English to describe things beginning and ending,
but even the best laid plans can be upset by delays.
When you start something you begin it.
165
When you are born, your life begins.
When you start a race, you want to win it and you keep going to the finish..
To start a journey you need to set out before the journey can commence and you can
actually set off on the trip.
You can begin a company, but first you need to set it up.
When you end something you stop it. When something ends it stops.
When you die your life ends.
When a race ends, you want to cross the finish line first, and definitely don't want to end
up last.
On a journey you may halt or pause somewhere, or your journey may be delayed, and
that can hold you back, but it couldcontinue later. If your journey is postponed it is put
off to a later date.
Some companies experience hold ups, or even discontinue products
and cease production. If a company closes it winds up, and yet you wind up a clock
to get it going.
166
When a party starts to wind down, it's about to stop.

When you are phoning a friend, you may get cut off, or they may hang up on you
and end the call unexpectedly.
And when you're learning English, if things get really difficult you may quit, but as long as
you don't give up, once you'vestarted you'll never finish.

The Office Party
Things wind down towards the end of the year in the UK. As I write this Christmas is
almost upon us, but we are already thinking ahead to the New Year.
In the UK the Christmas Office party season is in full swing, but what should you wear?
And what happens if everything is delayed? :Here's the dialogue:Bridget - You don't think this is a bit much do you?
Lynne - No, not at all. The guys will love it!
Bridget - Yes, that's what I'm worried about. Maybe I could get changed quickly. What
time does the party start?
Lynne - It's meant to begin in 30 minutes, then we can start opening our secret Santa
presents.
Bridget - Oh yes. Maybe I should hand them out. Where is everybody else?
Lynne - Everything has been delayed. The sales meeting hasn't ended yet. It was held up
because the Sales Director was stuck in snow. He was meant to lead off with a rousing
speech. Now everything is late, and that means I'll probably miss my train, it's bound to
leave on time for once.
Bridget - Oh well. I guess we can make a start on the wine. Now where did I put that
bottle opener?
