kilos of meat every day. I feed them but it takes my time.
I need to play with the animals. I sometimes train the animals. For example, I play with the elephants with big
balls. I teach them to kick the balls. For the rest of my working hours, I spend time with the visitors. I teach
the young children about animals. I let them pet some of the small and calm animals.Those are baby monkeys
and birds. Young children understand the importance of animals. They learn the importance of protecting
animals and their homes. I never get bored with my job.

subject pronouns vs. possessive adjectives

Unit 2
The subject of a sentence is a person or thing that performs the action of the verb. Subject pronouns
are used to replace the subject (person or thing) of a verb. A subject pronoun is followed by the main
verb of the sentence, a modal verb or an auxiliary verb.
e.g.
I am a good cook.
I don’t like cooking.
I can cook well.

e
We use possessive adjectives to show who owns something. They are followed by nouns.
e.g.
My car is broken.
Her father hates dogs.

spelling and pronunciation
Unit 4

a. spelling

spelling: writing a word using letters or saying the letters of a word one by one

We need letters to spell or write a word. In the English alphabet, there are 26 letters: 5 vowels and 21
consonants. We can write these letters in both small and large forms.
Large letters are called upper case, or capital letters, such as A, F, T, W.

e
Small letters are called lower case letters, such as a, f, t, w.

b. pronunciation

You can see the English alphabet letters with their phonetic symbols (in brackets) and an example word
for each letter below.You can also learn how they sound when you listen to the recording.

present simple tense: affirmative form
Unit 7

We use present simple tense to talk about:


• daily routines and repeated actions: I go to bed late every night.
• general facts and permanent situations: Ken comes from the US.

affirmative sentences

I / You / We / They walk in the park every night.

e
He / She / It walks in the park every night.

In affirmative sentences, we add the suffix –s to the main verb when the subject is he, she or it. The
suffix -s is also used as -es or -ies with some verbs.
e.g.
She walks every day.
She watches T.V. every day.
She carries that bag every day.

Adverbs of frequency
pl
With the present simple, we often use adverbs of frequency to say ‘how often’ we do something. These
adverbs are used just before the main verb in the sentence.
e.g.
m
We often go for a picnic in spring.
I don’t usually have breakfast.

The words below are also used to show frequency.


every day / week / morning / year / etc.
once = one time
twice = two times
three times, four times, etc.
e.g
Sa

How often do you drink tea?


I drink tea three times a day / I often drink tea / I drink tea every day.

A Use the correct form of the verb to be to complete the sentences.


1 We _________ in a nice garden right now.

In questions, the sentence starts with:

As it works in negative sentences, we always use the bare form (no suffix) with all the subjects in

We sometimes use question words at the beginning of a question.


e.g.

present simple tense vs. present continuous tense

Unit 17
See the comparison of present simple and present continuous below:

present simple tense present continuous tense


We use present simple for habits or repeated We use present continuous for things happening at
actions. or around the time of speaking.
e.g. e.g.
Susan always wears colorful clothes. I am reading a book about an awful crime.

e
I sometimes play soccer with my friends from work. She is talking on the phone at the moment.

We use present simple for facts and general truths. We sometimes use present continuous for future
e.g. plans.
I work as a nurse in a hospital. e.g.
Water freezes at zero degree Celsius. I am visiting my mother tonight.

It smells bad.
She wants to eat some ice cream.
pl
We usually use present simple with state* verbs.
e.g.
She is flying to London next week.

* State verbs are verbs that express a situation, not an action. They usually relate to thoughts, emotions,
relationships, senses and states of being. We usually do not use state verbs with continuous verb forms:
m
e.g.
I see the birds on the tree.
She has two children.

Note: We use some verbs like have and see in continuous tenses but they have different meanings.
e.g.
I am seeing my doctor today (seeing = visiting)
She is having breakfast now (having = eating)

A lot of people have pets at home. Many people like having a dog or a cat, but there are other unusual
and popular pets. Some people think that foxes make bad pets. But the Fennec Fox is a perfect little pet.
m
Fennec Foxes have big ears but they are very small and they are intelligent.They can learn very quickly.
They also need lots of exercise because they are very playful.

Of course, you can also have a pet donkey. A miniature donkey is a small donkey but it still needs a large
garden. Miniature donkeys like having a friend with them all the time, so you need to have two donkeys
because they can get lonely.

A hedgehog is a calm and relaxed pet. It can’t move fast so you can always find it. Hedgehogs are very
affectionate and like spending time with their owners.
Sa

Maybe you want a very unusual pet like a pet spider. A tarantula can make a great pet. It is very
independent and does not need a lot of attention. Tarantulas can’t learn new things but they are
interesting pets to have.
