Hi Frank,
We arrived in Cuzco, the most beautiful city in Peru, four

days ago.
First of all, we traveled around Machu Picchu all day. We
saw the amazing city of Incas. Then, we went to Hotel to rest
in order to recover energy for the next day.
The next morning, we started the day very early. We could
see the beautiful peaks while we were driving around the
city. After that, we enjoy the fortress Sacsayhuaman. It was a
surprise to know that more than 20,000 men were working
3,000 years ago to build this place.
Finally, it was time to take the airplane but the last hour was
a mess. The flight was delayed twice this day. My mother
thought it was good because we had enough time to buy
some souvenirs for my family. However, when we were
buying in the market, we realized our time was almost over.
Can you believe what happened?
While my father was looking for my sister’s passport, my
mother was arguing about the luggage with the security
guard.
I think it was a good time in Cuzco. Now it’s time to know the
jungle of Peru.
Let me know how your vacations are.
Your friend,
Sophie.

What a day!
My brother John celebrated his birthday the last week. He was born on August 13th, in Lima,
Peru. Unfortunately, my grandfather died the same day when my brother was born. But it’s
not the only coincidence. While my brother was celebrating his first year, my father won the
lottery and became rich. When he was celebrating his second birthday, my older brother
crashed the car and was arrested by the police. Different things happen on August 13th.
Some of them are good and other ones not. I remember John finished the university the same
day of his birthday. When he was dancing in a party organized by his friend to celebrate his
birthday, he met Sonia who is going to be his wife the next year. Everybody believes the
wedding is going to be on August 13th. Unbelievable, the number of coincidence in John’s

TIPS FOR WRITING
Writing 7E
Focus on parts of speech (part IV)
1 Uncountable nouns: Unlike countable nouns, uncountable nouns are

substances, concepts, particles, ideas and feelings that we cannot
divide into separate elements. We cannot “count” them. For example,
we cannot count “milk”. We can count “bottles of milk” or “liters of
milk”, but we cannot count “milk” itself.
Example: salt, love, sugar, water, etc.
1 Underline the uncountable nouns in the sentences.
a. I don’t have much hair.
b. Close the curtain. There’s too much light!
c. It’s difficult to work when there is so much noise.
d. I want to draw a picture. Have you got some paper?
e. Have you got time for a cup of coffee?
f. I have no money. I need work!
ORGANIZATION
1 Story sequence chart: The OREO format will help students write
a focused and clear paragraph for most types of short answer
prompts. With this pattern, you introduce the topic and state the
opinion, supply a reason for the opinion, provide example to
support the reason, and give a conclusion.
O - Opinion: Write a topic sentence to introduce your topic and state

your opinion.
R - Reason: Supply reasons to strengthen your topic and make it
more persuasive.
E - Example: Introduce an example to support the reason to make it
solid.
O - Opinion: Restate your opinion to conclude the paragraph.

COMMON MISTAKES
There are some common mistakes

we make when we write and speak.
An instant decision is one that we make based on current circumstances. When we must
make a fast choice, this is an instant decision. These are not our intentions for the future,
but a decision we make very quickly.
For example, imagine that you are in a restaurant and the waiter has offered
you two specials: chicken or pasta.
Correct: Hmm, both of the specials sound really good, but I think I will have the
chicken.

PRONUNCIATION
Linking sounds
1 Assimilation: changing sounds
Assimilation is a more drastic type of coarticulation. Instead of “sharing” part of a sound,

the merged sounds are pronounced as an entirely different sound. Two examples of
assimilation occur when the ‘t sound’ /t/ or /d/ precede the ‘y sound’ /y/.
When the /t/ and /y/ assimilate, the sounds merge into the ‘ch sound’ /ʧ/. This causes
the phrase “don’t you” /doʊntyu/ to be pronounced as “donchou” /doʊnʧu/.
The /d/ assimilates with the /y/ and is pronounced as a ‘j sound’ /ʤ/. This causes the
phrase “did you” /dɪdyu/ to be pronounced as “dijou” /dɪʤu/.
2 Pronounce these sentences.

Visiting Her Majesty

I traveled to London to visit the Queen
of England. Being a clever fellow, I
disguised myself as a prince and
walked into Buckingham Palace as if
I owned it. After receiving directions
from a chambermaid, I stepped into
the Queen’s bedroom and surprised
Her Royal Highness with a hearty slap
on the back. Then, of course, I tipped
my hat, bowed, and delivered the
usual compliments. After uncorking a
bottle of champagne, we exchanged
pleasantries and talked about our families for more than an hour. I showed her my
photograph album and my stamp collection, and she showed me her historic collection of
jewels. After a thoroughly entertaining visit, I traded e-mail addresses with Her Majesty and
then kissed her goodbye on the fingertips of her white gloves, of course.

COMMON MISTAKES
People often forget that there’s is a

contraction of there is and mistakenly say
“there’s three burrs caught in your hair”
when they mean there’re (there are).
Use there’s only when referring to one item. There’s can also be a contraction
of there has, as in “There’s been some mistake in this bill, clerk!”.
Remember if you don’t contract there is that it also can only be used with
something singular following.
It’s not “there is many mistakes in this paper” but “there are many mistakes in
this paper.”

MOVING INTO A NEW HOUSE
There are many things to do before moving
into a new house. As important as organize a
good time packing, asking friends to help you
move and getting to know the new place before
moving in is to consider the following tips:
1. Change the locks
You really don’t know who else has keys to your
home, so change the locks. That ensures you’re
the only person who has access. There are a lot
of possibilities the last owner gave keys to some
relatives so call a locksmith soon.
2. Check for plumbing leaks
Your home inspector should do this for you
before closing, but it never hurts to double-check.
There are some possibilities you can discover at
midnight your kitchen sink is broken or there are
some plumbing leaks in the bathroom.

3. Make a folder It is wise to create a folder that contains
important documentation you may need

for important

documents like to keep safe and separate from the rest
of your files and papers as you pack. There
are many documents you have to include:
medical and dental records, school records,
your insurance and home warranty policies,
financial statements, passports, and receipts
from moving expenses.
4. Arrange time Let your boss know the time off you need for your
off work move. You do not have to miss work to move,
but you should keep in mind that weekend and

PRONUNCIATION
Linking sounds
1 Intrusion: adding sounds
Intrusion is placing an additional sound between other sounds. For instance,

adding a slight w sound /w/ or /y/ between vowel sounds is a helpful technique
for pronouncing both vowels clearly.
In the phrase he asked, a small /y/ is added between the long e /i/ and short a
/æ/. This allows both vowel sounds to be pronounced fully and separately without
pausing between words.
A slight /w/ is added to link the oo sound /u/ to the short i /ɪ/ sound in the phrase
do it. Again, this allows both vowel sounds to be pronounced clearly.

TIPS FOR WRITING

Collecting nouns
1 Mass nouns: this is the opposite of count nouns. Mass nouns are also
called non-countable nouns, and they need to have “counters” to
quantify them.
Examples of counters: kilo, cup, meter.

Examples of mass nouns: rice, flour, garter.
ORGANIZATION
1 Clustering: are a type of non-linear graphic organizer that can help
to systematize the generation of ideas based upon a central topic.
Using this type of diagram, the student can more easily brainstorm a
theme, associate about an idea, or explore a new subject.
256
11E
LOGICAL CONNECTOR
1 We use for to show reason or purpose (sometimes because can be used

instead).
• I go to the library, for I love to read.
While the word so introduces the “effect” part of a cause-and-effect

relationship, the word for introduces the cause.
• My husband and I went to Costa Rica, for it was our five-year anniversary.
• The neighborhood had a memorial last weekend, for a family’s son had
passed away.
Using the word for like this, however, can sound a bit formal and
unnatural in spoken English. Instead, it’s better to use subordinating
conjunctions like because or since. Meanwhile, the word for can take
different usages as a preposition, not a conjunction.
For example:
• What are you doing for New Year’s?
• Is this gift for me or someone else?
• I’ve been living in Los Angeles for about six months.
2 Write three examples using for.

PRONUNCIATION
Linking sounds
1 Intrusion: adding sounds
Continuous consonants are types of sounds in which air flows continuously through
a constricted area of the vocal tract. When pronouncing continuous consonants,
the air is never completely blocked by any part of the vocal tract.
To link from one continuous consonant into the same continuous consonant, the
linked consonant sound is extended, or pronounced for a slightly longer amount
of time than a normal, single sound. For example, /r/ is a continuous consonant.
When /r/ is linked into another /r/, it’s pronounced for more time than if it is linked
to a different sound.
Compare the phrase ‘more rice’ (linking /r/ to /r/) to the phrase ‘more ice’ (linking
/r/ to vowel sound). The /r/ of the phrase ‘more rice’ is said for a longer duration.
