•• Which of the following “white lies” did you hear when you were a child? Cross out ().
READING
•• Discuss to your partner about your answer, give your reasons.
Lies, black or white?
I lie to my five-year-old child, and not just about Santa and
the tooth fairy. I started when she was about two years old,
and now I can’t control myself. If she asks me for watching TV,
I tell her that she will get square eyes. What is more, I tell her
unless she eats carrots, she’ll wear glasses and that if she eats
her crusts, she will have lovely hair.
Most parents tell their children lies that is because their parents
told them the same. But is that wrong?
Yes, say a group of parents who consider that it’s a better idea to try to make a child understand the real
reasons why it’s bad for her or him to watch too much TV or eat many candies than to take the easy way
and tell a lie.
No, say busy parents who think it’s ridiculous to explain the bad effects of too much TV or the lack of
nutritious value of a sweet to a four or five years old child.
It depends, say psychologists. White lies that protect a child’s innocence or stimulate their imagination
are good for them.
Psychologists believe that these kind of lies can help children develop their skills and creativity. Santa
Claus and the tooth fairy are some examples of this and parents enjoy telling these stories to their
children. So, be serious when you say a white lie or a serious lie. You don’t want your nose to grow in
front of your children!
a) According to the psychologist what are the good benefits of telling lies?

1. GROUP WORK. What do you think is the highest and lowest age to do the next activities?
Ageism
In my life, age hasn’t been important. My closer friends of both sexes
have been younger, older or same age as me. When I was in my thirties
A
I went out with a man of twenty-three. The first time I experienced a G
problem with my age was on my fortieth birthday. To my surprise, it
was a traumatic event. Forty is more horrible than thirty-nine. Well, I E
tried so hard to convince me that life goes on and begin at forty...
I
I met a man playing soccer. He’s thirty-one and looks about nineteen
-he has no idea about my age. S
In all my life I’ve been totally honest. I give the extra money back to the M
seller. I’ve never travelled without a ticket and in job interviews I always say my weaknesses.
Well, very early on in the relationship I told him the truth about my crazy past -my divorce, my
economic problems. I also admitted that I dye my hair every three months. I told him I’m older than
he is, suddenly something stopped me from telling him the whole truth about my age. And now I’m
in real trouble. Silence has made the trouble bigger. If I had told him before, it wouldn’t have become
so difficult. If I had been brave enough and admit that I was fifteen years older than he, I wouldn’t
have been so nervous.
I know if I have been a man, I would never have gotten into this mess. Being fifteen years older is
nothing for man even twenty. But for a woman, the world judges older women roughly. I’m afraid
he would do the same. I have become an ageist and a liar.
Examples:
a) If
I had won the lottery, I would have traveled around the world...
b) If
I had seen him, I would have told him about you...
c) If
I had known the answer, I would have raised my hand...
d) If
she had come on Saturday, I would have seen her...

ASK LOREN
Dear Loren,
I’ve just moved to Lima and started going to new school.
I try hard to meet people but nothing seems to work. The last guy I went out with
asked to borrow money from me on our first date. He also wanted to correct
my pronunciation (I’m from Iquitos). Obviously, I decided not to see him again.
My problem is that I’d really like to find someone special to date. My roommate
advised me to put an ad in the newspaper, but I really don’t want to do that. Do
you have any suggestions?
Lonely in Lima
Dear Lonely,
You seem to be very focused on meeting someone right away. Personally you need to relax a little
bit. Tell friends and acquaintances that you want to meet someone, but don’t expect to fall in love
with the first person you meet. Do things that you’d like to do anyway. Join a sports club. Learn
to dance. Try not to focus on meeting the man of your dreams girl, and just have fun. You’ll come
into contact with people who have similar interests. Even if you fail to meet Mr. Right immediately,
you will at least have a good time! Don’t give up!
Loren

FORGETTING
Maria wanted to go to a party. She’s friendly and enjoys meeting new people. But when Maria looked
at the card invitation, and a part of her kept saying the next, “I will not know anybody there! How can I
remember all those names and last names?” Maria’s problem is not something unusual. Remembering
names in especial new names is a problem for many and many people around the world. For international
travelers like Maria (she is a Peruvian student studying in England) believe it or not is even harder to recall
unfamiliar foreign names. What can Maria and other students like her do?
Well, here some excellent tips to do it from memory experts:
Decide to remember. Making an effort can really help my dear reader.
Listen carefully when you hear someone’s name for the first time. It’s important to pay attention.
Continue repeating the name. Calling the person by name several times will help remember and keep in
your mind.
Write the name down is also a good idea. Putting things in writing is the most common memory tip.
Don’t hesitate to ask the person to repeat the name. Most people don’t mind doing this.
And last, but not least,
Stop worrying. Anxiety only makes the problem got worse and worse.
So, next time you will be ready to remember people’s names.
-- Look
at the picture. What is the man trying to do? What are your strategies to remember names?
“Hi. I’m, I’m, I’m... You’ll have to forgive me, I’m terrible with names”

GRAMMAR
A gerund is a verbal that ends in “-ing” and functions as a noun. The term verbal indicates that a gerund,
like the other two kinds of verbals, is based on a verb and therefore expresses action or a state of being.
However, since a gerund functions as a noun, it occupies some positions in a sentence that a noun ordinarily
would, for example: subject, direct object, subject complement, and object of preposition.
a) Gerund as subject:
Like nouns, gerunds can be the subject.
−− The
study abroad program might satisfy your desire for new experiences.
−− Traveling
might satisfy your desire for new experiences. (TRAVELING is the gerund)
−− Francisco enjoys swimming more than spending time with his girlfriend Diana. (SWIMMING is the
direct object of the verb ENJOY)
−− The
alien from the planet Zortek remembered crashing the first time in the earth.
subject verb
−− My
favorite class was cooking.
subject linking verb
1. ........................................

3. ........................................

−− A

Swimming = present participle modifying coach (adjective).
−− Now
Francisco practices his sport in safe swimming pools.
Swimming = present participle modifying pools.

c) My cake should have sixteen candles.
d) The scariest villain of all time is Darth Vader.
They can also act as a complement to linking verbs or the verb to be. A linking verb is a verb like to
feel, to seem, or to taste that describes a state of being or a sensory experience.
Coordinate adjectives should be separated by a comma or the word and. Adjectives are said to be
coordinate if they modify the same noun in a sentence.
Why?
Why do people do stupid things? Some silly, young people try to walk across freeways. They get run
over. Some foolish teen people stand on the edge of cliffs. They slip and fall to their death. Some people
think a gun is not loaded. They point the gun at a friend. They pull the trigger. They kill their friend.
Some people want to watch a terrible huge dark storm up close. They go to the ocean. They feel the
wind. They see the big waves. They are excited. Then a big wave takes them out to sea. They drown.
Many people drop out of school. They say that school is boring. They want to have fun. School is not
fun. They hate homework. They get a job at McDonald’s. All day long they ask the customers, “Do you
want fries with that?” Is that fun? No, but it is stupid. Some people cheat on their boring old wives or
uninterested fat husbands. They get caught. Their marriage ends. They are alone. Many people smoke
cigarettes. They get cancer. Many people drink and drive. Drinking and driving is against the law. It’s
dangerous. It’s stupid. But people do it every day.

ADVERBS

-- How
many adverbs are there in the following paragraph?
Branwen listened carefully to the messenger’s tale, and then she laid
aside her broom and slowly gazed at her rough, ruined hands. “Oh yes,
I can tell you what this means”, she said, and she gradually smiled for
the first time in three long years.
GRAMMAR FOCUS
¾¾ WHAT
IS AN ADVERB?
An adverb is a part of speech that provides greater description to a verb, adjective, another adverb, a
phrase, a clause, or a sentence.
A great way to pick out an adverb from a sentence is to look for the word ending in “-ly”. Although that’s
not universally true, it’s a great place to start. Also, given their function, these fundamental elements
of the English language are usually placed right before or after the verb in the sentence.
Adverbs can also modify adjectives or other adverbs. They provide more information about that other
descriptive word. For example:
−− He
runs very quickly.
In this sentence, the adverb “very” is describing the adverb “quickly” (“very quickly” can be used as
an adverb phrase).
−− An
incredibly pretty girl sat down next to me.
2. Adverbs of manner.
Adverbs of manner are used to tell us the way or how something is done.
3. Adverbs of degree.
too so extremely perfectly terribly
very quite hardly greatly enough
Adverbs of degree tell us the strength or intensity of something that happens. Many adverbs are
gradable, that is, we can intensify them.
Basically they answer the sort of question that asks: How much...? or How little...?
4. Adverbs of time
So, you can tell whether or not a word is an adverb by considering its function in the sentence. If it
is describing a verb, adjective or other adverb it’s an adverb.

the following reading.
There was once a boy who lived in a village. His family owned many sheep. The boy had a job to watch
the sheep. If a wolf came near, he needed to call for help. His sheep stayed on a hill near the village.
One day, he thought of a trick he could play on the people who lived in the village. He ran and crying
out for help. He shouted, “Wolf! Wolf! come and help!” The villagers heard him crying and thought
that they had to help. So, the villagers ran to help him. They would try to help him and protect his
lambs. However, when the villagers got there, the boy laughed at them. There was no wolf there. He
thought it was funny. Then another day the boy tried the same trick. Once again, the villagers came to
help him out, and the boy laughed at them. Then, one day, a wolf really did come and it started chasing
the lambs. In great fright, the boy ran for help. “Wolf! Wolf!” he screamed. “There is a wolf! Help!
Please! Help! Please!” All the villagers heard him, but they thought he was pulling another trick, and
the shepherd-boy lost all his sheep. When the people found out they were sorry, but they told the
boy it was his fault. That is the kind of thing that happens to people who lie. Even when they tell the
truth, no one believes them.

ADVERBS VS ADJECTIVES
5TH. GRADE
A common type of error: incorrectly substituting an adverb in place of a predicate adjective. An example
you’ve probably heard before is:
−− I feel badly about what happened.
Because “feel” is a verb, it seems to call for an adverb rather than an adjective. But “feel” isn’t just any
verb; it’s a linking verb. An adverb would describe how you perform the action of feeling -an adjective
describes what you feel. “I feel badly” means that you are bad at feeling things. If you’re trying to read
Braille through thick leather gloves, then it might make sense for you to say “I feel badly”. But if you’re
trying to say that you are experiencing negative emotions, “I feel bad” is the phrase you want.
It’s easier to see this distinction with a different linking verb. Consider the difference between these two
sentences:
−− Goober
smells badly.
−− Goober
smells bad.
“Goober smells badly” means that Goober, the poor thing, has a weak sense of smell. “Goober smells
bad” means Goober stinks -poor us.
-- Complete
the sentence using an adjective or adverb.
a) He’s always in a rush. I don’t understand why he walks so .............................. (quick / quickly).
c) Michael .............................. (happy / happily) took the assistant job. He had been looking for a
position all summer.
d) Marta dances .............................. (beautiful / beautifully). She’s been taking ballet since she was
five years old.
e) They speak French very .............................. (good / well). They lived in France for two years.
f) My neighbor always plays .............................. (loud / loudly) music on the weekends. It’s so annoying.
g) Please be .............................. (careful / carefully) in the hallway. The walls have just been painted.
h) Dan is very smart, but he is not a very .............................. (good / well) student.
i) He reacted .............................. (angry / angrily) to the news. I have never seen him so upset.
“Guide” is a noun. But in this sentence, it modifies “dog”. It works the other way, too. Some words that
are normally adjectives can function as nouns:
−− Candice
is working on a fundraiser to help the homeless.
In the context of this sentence, “homeless” is functioning as a noun. It can be hard to wrap your head around
this if you think of adjectives and nouns only as particular classes of words. But the terms “adjective” and
“noun” aren’t just about a word’s form -they’re also about its function.
1. For each question you have two options. Choose either the adjective or noun form.
a) Sleeping : .....................................................................................................................................
b) Coffee : .....................................................................................................................................
c) Lunch : .....................................................................................................................................
a) Poor : .........................................................................................................................................
b) Rich : .........................................................................................................................................
c) Elder : .........................................................................................................................................
This is incorrect because “bad” is an adjective being used to describe “behaved,” which is a verb. It should
read:
−− He
behaved very badly on the field trip.
¾¾ GOOD
AND WELL
The words good and well are common triggers to the adverb vs. adjective confusion.

obligation as well as expectation.
−− I should go to the funeral. (I feel an obligation to go... later.)

¾¾ MIGHT
Is most commonly used to express possibility. It is also often used in conditional sentences. English
speakers can also use “might” to make suggestions or requests, although this is less common in American
English.
−− Sue might take Saul to the train station. (It’s a future possibility).
−− Sue
might have taken Saul to the train station. (She may be on her way).
May have / Might have = something possibly happened (but we aren’t sure if it did)

h) A :

B : I don’t know. She ........................................ (have) some bad news.
¾¾ MUST
Is most commonly used to express certainty. It can also be used to express necessity or strong
recommendation, although native speakers prefer the more flexible form “have to”. “Must not” can
be used to prohibit actions, but this sounds very severe; speakers prefer to use softer modal verbs such
as “should not” or “ought not” to dissuade rather than prohibit.
−− This must be the right address! Certainty.
−−
Students must pass an entrance examination to study at this school. necessity.
−− must take some medicine for that cough. Strong recommendation.

GRAMMAR FOCUS
¾¾ WOULD
Is most commonly used to create conditional verb forms. It also serves as the past form of the modal
verb “will”. Additionally, “would” can indicate repetition in the past.
−− If
he were an actor, he would could be in adventure movies. Conditional.
−− I knew that she would be very successful in her career. Past of “will”.
−− When
they first met, they would always have picnics on the beach. Repetition.
With “have” ⇒ Facts that didn’t happen because of something extra happened.
−− Lex
would have taken Karen to the airport. (He didn’t. He had an excuse)
2. Because “would” (and will) can also be used to show if you want to do something or not (volition),
we can also use would have + past participle to talk about something you wanted to do but didn’t.
This is very similar to the third conditional, but we don’t need an “if clause”.
•• I would have gone to the party, but I was really busy.
(= I wanted to go to the party, but I didn’t because I was busy. If I hadn’t been so busy, I would
have gone to the party).
1. Complete the spaces using the correct form of the modal (would + verb (base form) / would have
+ verb (past participle)
2. Complete the sentences with a verb given in past modal form. Use short forms if it possible. use
the verbs in parentheses.
a) A
: James was at the party last night.
B : He .................................................. (be)! He’s in China.
b) You .................................................. (be) pleased when you passed your driving test.
c) Anna wasn’t at work today. She .................................................. (have) the day off.
d) A
: Where’s Mike?
B : I’m not sure. He .................................................. (go) home.
e) There was so much traffic, there .................................................. (be) an accident.
f) Janet .................................................. (ring) you last night. Her phone isn’t working.
