Present continuous: use


• We use a present tense to talk about a present period.

• We use a present continuous tense when we want to say that the action is going on in the
present. We usually see this action as temporary.

• Some verbs are not normally used in the continuous because they express a state rather than
an action.
e.g. to know, to remember, to understand, to believe, to cost, to mean, to like, to love, to want,
to prefer

"Lemon Tree" - Fools Garden

I'm sitting here in the boring room


It's just another rainy Sunday afternoon
I'm wasting my time
I got nothing to do
I'm hanging around
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I'm driving around in my car
I'm driving too fast
I'm driving too far
I'd like to change my point of view
I feel so lonely
I'm waiting for you
But nothing ever happens and I wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
I'm sitting here
I miss the power
I'd like to go out taking a shower
But there's a heavy cloud inside my head
I feel so tired
Put myself into bed
While nothing ever happens and I wonder
Isolation is not good for me
Isolation I don't want to sit on the lemon tree
I'm steppin' around in the desert of joy
Baby anyhow I'll get another toy
And everything will happen and you wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see is just another lemon tree
I'm turning my head up and down
I'm turning turning turning turning turning around
And all that I can see is just a yellow lemon tree
And I wonder, wonder
I wonder how
I wonder why
Yesterday you told me 'bout the blue blue sky
And all that I can see, and all that I can see, and all that I can see
Is just a yellow lemon tree

11. On speaking terms


'Excuse me, can I pass …'

Talking in public places


Excuse me, can I pass, please? You’re blocking the way. Oh, of course. I’m sorry.
Excuse me, can you please be silent? The show has started.
Excuse me, you have to wait at the end of the queue. I didn’t know there was a queue.
Excuse me, can you wait outside, please? There are too many people here.

36 Imagine being in the following situations. What do you say?

• You want to go to the toilet, but a group of people who are talking is in your way.
• You are watching a movie, but the people in the front row just keep laughing and chatting.
• You have been waiting for 15 minutes to get your bread at the baker’s, and now someone walks right past you
and gives his order.
• You arrive at the theatre, but you are not sure whether there is a queue.

37 Listen to the song "Tom’s Diner" by Suzanne Vega and answer the questions.

What public place is this song about? What happens?

It’s about a restaurant called Tom’s Diner. The song describes one morning in the diner, where nothing special
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

happens. The singer is sitting at the counter drinking coffee, reading a newspaper, observing customers and
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

the staff and thinking of someone. She finishes her coffee and leaves to catch a train.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

"As they are kissing


Their hellos
I'm pretending
Not to see them"
Why does she do that?

It’s often crowded in public spaces. Pretending not to see people is a way of giving them some privacy,
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

their ‘own’ space in the public space.


_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

How do you think this woman feels in this place? Use parts of the lyrics to back up your answer.

She appears to be a little lonely (“does she see me, no she does not really see me”), curious (she is observing
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

all these people), bored (she has nothing better to do) and melancholy (“I am thinking of your voice”).

13. Did you know?
How dirty is your money?
43 Read the text and answer the questions.

How dirty is your money?

When you pay for food, do you wash your hands


before sitting down to eat? If not, you may want
to start, because a growing body of research
suggests that cash might be filthier than a toilet
seat. Paper money can harbour thousands of
microbes from every environment it touches—
whether that’s someone’s fingers, a waiter’s
apron, a vending machine or the darkest area
under someone’s mattress.
In a 2017 study published in the journal PLOS
ONE, researchers swabbed $1 bills from a bank
in New York City to see what was living on paper currency. They found hundreds of species of the most
interesting microorganisms. The most abundant were ones that cause acne, as well as plenty of harmless
skin bacteria. Other research has shown that some bank notes and coins contain pathogens like
Escherichia coli (E. coli), salmonella and staphylococcus aureus, which can lead to serious illness. Cash is
also often streaked with drugs. In a study of 10 one-dollar bills from cities across the country, nearly 80%
of them had traces of cocaine.
All of that may sound unsavoury, but it’s hardly surprising, given how cash gets around. Bills get traded
constantly, and they can stay in circulation for five to fifteen years.
The presence of these microbes won’t necessarily make you sick, however. Money is not very good at
transmitting diseases.
Even if some microbes do come off on your hands, they’re unlikely to hurt you because our skin is a
better protector than most people think. Just don’t lick your money. And wash your hands a couple of
times a day.

Should we no longer pay cash to be on the safe side?

We don’t need to worry. The microbes won’t necessarily make us sick. Money is not very good at transmitting

diseases and our skin is a good protector.

I want to see him but he isn’t home.

The clauses are linked by conjunctions (voegwoorden): and, or, but, because, although …
I love Joan + I love Sarah I love Joan and Sarah.
I like vegetables + I don’t like meat I like vegetables but I don’t like meat.
Eric opened the door + Lucy was on the phone Eric opened the door while Lucy was on
the phone.

schedule that shows clever use of the public space around you to accommodate your
(financial) needs.

Can you visit the library instead of a book shop?


Can you look at beautiful things in a museum instead of buying new
decorations for your room?
Can you jog with a friend in the park instead of eating expensive
chocolate in front of the television?

Work out a schedule for one week. Where will you go? When?
Why? How much money will you save?

The science of shopping

Shopping. We all do it – but beyond basic food and housing, why do we buy? What forces act upon us in a [1]? Is
your [2] hobby a dangerous habit? After 14 years in New York, expat Australian Fiona Dadswell now shops every
single day, 'I feel excited when I find something I want to [3]. I have only one question when I see a nice T-shirt:
where are the [4], I want to [5]! I have a golden [6] – that says it all, no? I never [7]. And I never listen to [8].
I hope this way I [9] less [10]. I don’t know if it really works that way. Maybe I have to buy a [11]. Sometimes when
I am in the city, I visit the [12], [13], [14] … All these places where I can’t spend money. But it doesn’t help.'
We spend a lot of money shopping for our hobbies as well. Think about all the stuff you need when you have a
hobby like surfing or collecting stamps. Not everybody likes bird watching or solving puzzles.
Shopping can cause the brain to release dopamine … the same pleasure pathway activated by food, sex, and
drugs. But why would the brain be programmed to respond so powerfully to something so … ordinary?
Paco Underhill: 'There is nothing trivial about shopping. How much hunting and gathering does the modern man
or woman do? That gene, that DNA has been transformed into our shopping instinct when we walk past the [15]
in a [16]. [17] use that instinct. We don’t need 60% of what we buy when we walk into a shop. I want you to notice
the use of the right hand. We know that in most shops, they work better with a counter clockwise circulation
pattern that puts the grabbing hand closest to the [18]. The more time we spend in a shop, the more we buy.
Or the less money we [19].'
A groundbreaking study last year found that 5.9% of Americans have a shopping addiction. All the evidence
points one way – the shopping instinct, ordinary as it sounds – is actually one of life’s more powerful forces.
