ACHIEVEMENT 3.2 Road to Excellence
BEFORE YOU READ WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO

1)Fairies today are the stuff of children’s stories, little

magical people with wings, often shining with light. Typically
pretty and female, like Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, they usually
use their magic to do small things and are mostly friendly to
humans.
(2)We owe many of our modern ideas about fairies to
Shakespeare and stories from the 18th and 19th centuries. Although we can see the origins of fairies
as far
CONNECTORS AND LINKERS back as the
Ancient
Greeks, we can see similar creatures in many cultures. The earliest fairy-like creatures can be found
in the Greek idea that trees and rivers had spirits called dryads and nymphs. Some people think
these creatures were originally the gods of earlier, pagan religions that worshipped nature. They were
replaced by the Greek and Roman gods, and then later by the Christian God, and became smaller,
less powerful figures as they lost importance.

1
(3)Another explanation suggests the origin of fairies is a
memory of real people, not spirits. So, for example, when tribes
with metal weapons invaded land where people only used
stone weapons, some of the people escaped and hid in forests
and caves. Further support for this idea is that fairies were
thought to be afraid of iron and could not touch it. Living outside
of society, the hiding people probably stole food and attacked
villages. This might explain why fairies were often described as
playing tricks on humans. Hundreds of years ago, people

actually believed that fairies stole new babies and replaced them with a ‘changeling’ – a fairy baby –
or that they took new mothers and made them feed fairy babies with their milk.
(4)While most people no longer believe in fairies, only a hundred years ago some people were very
willing to think they might exist. In 1917, 16-year-old Elsie Wright took two photos of her cousin, nine-
year-old Frances Griffiths, sitting with fairies. Some photography experts thought they were fake,
while others weren’t sure. But Arthur Conan Doyle, the writer of the Sherlock Holmes detective
stories, believed they were real. He published the original pictures, and three more the girls took for
him, in a magazine called The Strand, in 1920. The girls only admitted the photos were fake years
later in 1983, created using pictures of dancers that Elsie copied from a book.

A connector is a word that is used to join together words, phrases, clauses or sentences.

PLEASE VISIT THE FOLLOWING LINK FOR A DETAILED LIST

https://centro-cum.es/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/conectores_ingles.pdf

LET’S PRACTICE!
Here are the five linking words we'll look at in this worksheet:

1. Besides – this is used to add information and has the same meaning as apart from and as
well as. Example: Besides chocolate, I'm also a big fan of candy and potato chips.
2. Owing to – this linker must be followed by a noun. It is used to give a reason for something,

5
 with the same meaning as because of. Example: Owing to a lack of funds, there will be no
Christmas party for the office staff this year.
3. To conclude – this is usually used at the start of a sentence to summarize what has just been
said. Example: To conclude this speech, let me read you my favourite Walt Whitman quote.
4. Even though – this linker is used to indicate two contrasting ideas. It is always used in
sentences that have two halves, either at the beginning or after the comma. Example: Even
though it was cold on the weekend, we still went for our annual winter walk.
5. So – this linker is an informal way of giving a result, with the same meaning as therefore or
consequently. Example: I wanted a quiet weekend so I cancelled all the plans I had made.

ACHIEVEMENT 4.2

In this activity, you will need to reorder the sentences which have been jumbled up. Remember to
consider the function of the linking word – this will help you to work out where it belongs in the order
of the sentence. Look at this example and reorder the sentences below.

so / wanted / bigger / the / garden / we / we / city / out / of / a / moved

We wanted a bigger garden so we moved out of the city.

1. enjoyed / match / even / we / the / I / the / still / game / though / lost

2. to / say / I'll / sponsor / just / a / final / to / conclude / our / thanks

3. threw / was / out / so / I / it / it / broken

4. the / we / the / also / besides / to / the / park / museum / pool / and / went

5. owing / field / weather, / to / we / the / trip / the / cancelled

In this next activity, read the sentence and fill the gaps with the linking words. Some linkers are used
more than once.

1. the recent thefts at the club, we'll be imposing stricter security measures from
next month.
2. I didn't want to go to the party I made an excuse and stayed home.
6
3. Martha, I'd say that you're probably my best friend.
4. we didn't get on as kids, my brother and I are quite close these days.
5. this lecture, let me hand out your homework assignments.
6. old Mrs. Phillips, there is no-one else living in this building.
7. your bad behaviour, you are hereby expelled from school.
8.________________ let us give a big round of applause to Mr Thomas for his moving recital.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR WEATHER?

What is ‘extreme’ weather? Why are people talking
about it these days? ‘Extreme’ weather is an unusual
weather event such as rainfall, a drought or a heat wave
in the wrong place or at the wrong time. In theory, they
are very rare. But these days, our TV screens are
constantly showing such extreme weather events. Take
just three news stories from 2010: 28 centimetres of rain
fell on Rio de Janeiro in 24 hours, Nashville, USA, had
33 centimetres of rain in two days and there was record rainfall in Pakistan.

The effects of this kind of rainfall are dramatic and lethal. In Rio de Janeiro, landslides followed,
burying hundreds of people. In Pakistan, the floods affected 20 million people. Meanwhile, other parts
of the world suffer devastating droughts. Australia, Russia and East Africa have been hit in the last
ten years. And then there are unexpected heat waves, such as in 2003 in Europe. That summer,
35,000 deaths were said to be heat-related.

So, what is happening to our weather? Are these

extreme events part of a natural cycle? Or are they
caused by human activity and its effects on the
Earth’s climate? Peter Miller says it’s probably a
mixture of both of these things. On the one hand, the
most important influences on weather events are
natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous
weather cycles,
El Niño and La Niña, originate in the Pacific Ocean.
The heat from the warm ocean rises high into the atmosphere and affects weather all around the

15
world. On the other hand, the temperature of the Earth’s oceans is slowly but steadily going up. And
this is a result of human activity. We are producing greenhouse gases that trap heat in the Earth’s
atmosphere. This heat warms up the atmosphere, land and oceans. Warmer oceans produce more
water vapour – think of heating a pan of water in your kitchen. Turn up the heat, it produces steam
more quickly. Satellite data tells us that the water vapour in the atmosphere has gone up by four
percent in 25 years.
This warm, wet air turns into the rain, storms, hurricanes and typhoons that we are increasingly
experiencing. Climate scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, says that we need to face the reality of climate
change. And we also need to act now to save lives and money in the future.
