READING IN MIND
PARTS OF SPEECH
The parts of speech are classified according to the work they do or their function (s) in a
sentence:
1. NOUNS
A noun is the name of a person, thing, place, idea, or activity.

Nouns can be classified into:
COMMON NOUNS (they name any one of a class of people, thing, or place such as writer, state,
etc).
PROPER NOUNS (they name a specific person, place or thing. They always use Capital Letters as in
Chile, John, Monday, etc).
EXAMPLE: The toolbox is on the floor.
My best friend’s name is Ralph.
engineer - report - January - factory - industry - toolbox - advertising

- market – magazine – newspaper – journalist – slogan - stock - American –
Sunday – the U.S.A - Jackson - the Bible - the White House
2. PRONOUNS
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun or group of words acting as a noun.
They can be subject pronouns (used before verbs) or object pronouns (used after verbs)
EXAMPLE: John is in love with Marie. He loves her

I Me
You you
Marie He him
She her
John
It it
We us
They them
3. ADJECTIVES
An adjective is used to describe a noun. It modifies the meaning slightly, it qualifies a noun making
its meaning clearer, fuller, or more exact. They are always used BEFORE nouns.
If you want to use more than one adjective in a sentence, you have to organize them as follows:
1. First, use those adjectives that express personal opinion (beautiful, ugly, nice, etc.)
2. Second, size or number (small, big, enormous, twenty, great, etc.)
3. Third, age (new, old, young, little, antique, etc.)
4. Fourth, shape (square, round, rectangular, wide, etc.)
5. Fifth, colour (red, white, black, greenish, etc.)
6. Sixth, origin (Japanese, Chilean, Asian, etc.)
7. Then, material (paper, glass, plastic, etc.)
8. Finally, purpose (industrial [company], washing [machine], etc.)
EXAMPLE:
She´s got beautiful long curly black hair.
opinion size shape colour
These are four red metal kitchen stools.
Number colour material purpose
4. VERBS
Verbs express the idea of action or being and support that a person or thing is, does or suffers
something.
EXAMPLE:
She is very busy. She works very hard.
5. ADVERBS
An adverb modifies a verb, an adjective, or another verb.

An adverb that modifies a verb will answer one of these four questions: Where? When? In what
manner? To what extent?
EXAMPLE:
Where? When?
He’s going outside now.
In what manner? To what extent?
The computer is working slowly. It is really old.
6. DETERMINERS
They make clear which noun is referred to or give information about quantity.
POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES my/ your / his / her / our / their Example: His job is dangerous.
ARTICLES a / an / the Example: a machine – an angle – the car
QUANTIFIERS a lot of / a few / many / a little Example: There are a lot of materials.
DEMONSTRATIVE ADJECTIVES this / that / these / those In singular, we use this or that.
In plural, we use these or those.
7. PREPOSITIONS
Prepositions show the relationship between the noun or a pronoun and another word in the
sentence. There are different kinds of prepositions, for example:
Prepositions of place or location: in, under, in front of, across, next to, etc.
Prepositions of time: at, on, in, etc.
EXAMPLE: Amy wakes up at 7 o’clock in the morning on Mondays.
Her alarm clock is next to the bed
8. CONJUNCTIONS
Conjunctions are used to join words, phrases or clauses.
Some common conjunctions are and, but, or, because, however, and so.
EXAMPLE:
 He works hard because he wants to succeed.
 There are several cars and trucks in the street.
 Karate is tiring but fun.
 Do we turn right or left?
 Let’s write down the address so we don’t forget it.
 The computer is old. However, it is very reliable.

LESSON 3: DESCRIPTIONS
READING IN MIND: NOUNS, ARTICLES, PREPOSITIONS
Read the following description. Underline the singular nouns and circle the plural nouns.
On Penguin IslAnd….
…There isn’t A bAnk AND there isn’t A

bus STATion. There AREn’t ANY hotels ANd
there AREN’t ANY CAR pARks. There’s only A
lighthouse – ANd A lot of birds.
When using the plural form of nouns, pay attention to the following spelling rules.
Y becomes ies in nouns ending in consonant + y. For example: party – parties;

dictionary- dictionaries.
FE and F become ves. For example: wife- wives; shelf – shelves.
Some nouns are always plural. For example: glasses, jeans, shorts, scissors.
Some nouns do not follow any rule: man- men; woman –women; mouse- mice;
child-children; fish- fish; person-people; foot- feet.
Nouns ending in: s / x / o/ z / ch/ sh add es. For example: bus- buses; box- boxes;
tomato-tomatoes; buzz- buzzes; church- churches; dish- dishes.
Articles: a - an - some
- A computer
- An answering machine
- One briefcase
- Some pens
- Six folders
- A lot of papers on the desk
When we name things we use “a/an/one” when you talk about one object and “six/some/a lot
of” when you talk about two or more objects.
Let’s see how it works:

1. A / an / one are used with singular objects.
For example: A telephone, an envelope, one pen, etc.
Be careful with this! but one envelope,

An envelope (not a envelope) one telephone
A telephone (not an telephone)
2. Numbers / some / a lot of are used with plural objects.
For example: two telephones, some envelopes, a lot of pens, etc.
Be careful with this!

Two telephones (not: two telephone)
Some telephones (not: some telephone)
BUT:
A lot of telephones (not: a lot of telephone)
some water, some coffee
(not waters or coffees)
THERE IS / THERE ARE
When we mention one thing or a singular object, we use there is; when we refer to many things
or plural objects we use there are. For example:
There is a computer and a mouse pad on the desk.

There is a green calculator and a trophy.
There are two speakers next to the monitor.
There are two printers in the room.
There isn’t anybody in the room.
There aren’t any plants here.
In conVERSATION...
It’s more common
to use there’s.
Prepositions of location
The stick is in the cup The waste basket is next

to the table
The book is under the table The bottle is on the table
The boy is behind the man The chair is opposite the computer
The man is among the The ball is between the rackets

bookshelves

UNIT 3 STARTING TO READ
GETTING STARTED
Discuss these questions about reading.
1. Do you like reading?

2. What kind of books do you usually read?
3. How often do you buy books, magazines, etc.?
4. Do you read the newspaper every day? How often do you read it?
5. What kind of material have you read in English lately?
What is Reading?
Reading is one of the four language skills: reading, writing, listening and speaking. It is a
receptive skill. This means that reading involves responding to text, rather than producing it.
We can also say that reading involves making sense of the text. To do this, we need to
understand the language of the text at word level, sentence level and the whole-text level. We
also need to connect the message of the text to our knowledge of the world.
LESSON 1: LEARNING ABOUT DICTIONARIES
A) Using a dictionary
You should use two dictionaries: a good bilingual dictionary (= English and Spanish) and a good
English-English dictionary.
The bilingual dictionary is easier to understand, but the English-English dictionary can give you
more information about a word or phrase. It’s good to work in English as much as possible.
B) What information does a dictionary give?
Each entry gives:

 The meaning(s). Sometimes there is more than one meaning.
 The pronunciation (= the way that you say a word) using the phonetic alphabet.
 Grammar information (if the word is a noun, verb, adjective, adverb, etc.).
 example phrases or sentences.
 Common word combinations and expressions (in some dictionaries they are written in bold).
 Words with opposite meaning, if there are any.
A dictionary Entry
market/ˈmɑːkɪt/
▶noun
 1 a regular gathering of people for the purchase and sale of
provisions, livestock, and other commodities.
■ an open space or covered building where vendors convene to sell
their goods.
 2 a demand for a particular commodity or service.
■ [often as modifier] the free market; the operation of supply and
demand: market forces.
C) How should I use my dictionary? Here are some ideas to help you.
 Many words have more than one meaning. The first meaning is not always the one that you want.
Look at all the different meanings.
 When you look up a word, put a √ next to it. When you go back to the page later and see the √,
check that and you’ll remember the word without looking at the meaning.
 If you see an English word in a text, try to guess the meaning and continue to read.
Then use your dictionary to check the meaning.
 If you look up an English word in a bilingual dictionary and find several different words in your own
language, look up the English word in an English-English dictionary to find the right meaning.
Let’s practice. Take a look at these dictionary entries. They were taken from WordReference
English Thesaurus © 2012 (www.wordreference.com) As you can see, it’s an English-English

LESSON 2: LET’S READ!
READING 1
HOW CAN SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES HELP COMPANIES??
1 Facebook and MySpace are *popular social networking sites in the Internet.
Millions of people visit these websites and they make millions of dollars from
advertisements. People use social networking sites to make friends and now
some businesses are asking employees to use them for work. For example, the
company SERENA SOFTWARE employs nearly 1000 people. Everyone reads the
company news on Facebook and the site also helps internal communication because SERENA
SOFTWARE employees work in different parts of the world. So one employee in California can
quickly contact another in the Sidney office and build a closer working relationship. The company
also believes they can *create better teams between the twenty nine offices in fourteen different
countries by using social networking sites.
2 Social networking sites are good for your profits because you can *network with clients and tell
them about new products. Human Resources *Departments also use the sites to help them find
out about new employees and recruit them. The sites can also allow more employees to work
from home or from any location. Some companies also have lower travel costs because they use
the sites for international meetings.
3 Not all companies want employees to visit these sites for two reasons. Firstly, employees might
contact friends and plan their social lives during working hours. Secondly, ,many companies
believe there are security problems –you can get computer viruses from the sites and you might
not want all your company information available for everyone to read online. But
many businesses now believe there are more advantages than disadvantages. As one
business owner said “If you don’t understand the importance of social networking in the
business world today, you won’t have a business in the future”.
GLOSSARY
*Create : Make something new
*Departments: Parts of a company
*Network : Meet and talk with other business people
*Popular ; Liked by many people
