The gold medal for the 44th Chess Olympiad has been shared by India and Russia. The countries received joint-gold
because of a glitch with the Internet. The Olympiad takes place every two years to find the best chess-playing nation in
the world. This year it was held online for the first time. The online version of the competition was because of
coronavirus. The final was between players from Russia and India. However, some games came to an end after two
Indian players lost their Internet connection. Officials at the tournament said they had no choice but to award the gold
medal to the two countries. They said this was fair because the Indian players lost time when the Internet connection
failed.
This year's Chess Olympiad started in July. Teams from over 160 countries took part. The final round was not the only
time teams had technical glitches. A player from Armenia was disconnected from the tournament's server during his
quarter-final match against India. However, on that occasion, officials rejected his appeal. Armenia withdrew from the
competition in protest. Officials said there were "unprecedented circumstances" in the final. They said: "The Online
Chess Olympiad has been impacted by a global Internet outage that severely affected several countries, including India.
Two of the Indian players were affected and lost connection when the outcome of the match was still unclear."

Demonstrative Pronouns: This, That, These, and Those
Demonstrative pronouns are used to indicate something (person, place, or object) and show their position in
space. This is because some of them are used when the speaker is near, and others when it is far away.
Demonstrative pronouns do not vary in gender. That is, the same word is used in the feminine and in the
masculine. However, there is variation of number (singular and plural).
 Demonstrative Pronouns Use Tradução

This Singular, Close este, esta, isto

These Plural, Close estes, estas

Singular, Far away esse, essa, isso, aquele,

That
aquela, aquilo

Plural, Far away esses, essas, aqueles,

Those
aquelas

Demonstrative pronouns in English are classified in two ways :

Demonstrative Pronouns: has the function of replacing the noun in the sentence. It comes before the verb or
alone in the sentence and its formation is: demonstrative pronoun + verb.
Complete the Examples:
● This is a blue pen. ● Did you like that?
● These are blue pens. ● Those are my pens.
● That is my pen.

Demonstrative Adjectives : has the function of assigning quality to the noun, describing it. It appears before the
name and its formation is: demonstrative adjective + noun.
Complete the Examples:
● This pen is blue. ● That pen is mine
● These pens are blue. ● Those pens are mine

Complete the sentences with proper demonstrative pronoun:

1. That seat is yours and this seat is mine.  9. Give me that ball-pen and I'll give you this

7. These tickets are for you and those are for us.

Relative pronouns and relative clauses

We can use relative clauses to join two English sentences, or to give more information about something .

I bought a new car. It is very fast → I bought a new car that is very fast.

The relative pronouns are:

 Subject Object Possessive

who who/whom whose

which which whose

that that -

We use relative pronouns to introduce relative clauses. Relative clauses tell us more about people and
things:

Lord Thompson, who is 76, has just retired; This is the house which Jack built.

Marie Curie is the woman that discovered radium; That’s the dog that bit my hand yesterday.

We use:

● who and whom for ● which for things ● that for people or
people things

Two kinds of relative clause

Subject Relative Clause:

1. We use relative clauses to make clear which person or thing we are talking about, and we can use
that instead of who or which:

Marie Curie is the woman who ( that) This is the house ___that / which_ Jack built.
discovered radium;
That is the horse __that/which__ I mount
Bill Gates is the man __who / that__ founded every weekend.
Microsoft.

I'm looking for a secretary _who / that_ can We bought a house _that / which_ is 200
use a computer well. years old.
I sent a letter _that / which arrived three
weeks later.
She has a son __who /that__ is a doctor.

Object Relative Clause

We can leave out the pronoun if it is the object of the relative clause:

This is the house that Jack The woman _that / who___

built. (that is the object of my brother loves is from
built) Mexico.

● She loves the chocolate The doctor _that / who_ my

__that / which_ I grandmother liked lives in
bought. New York.

We went to the village _that / ● The bike _that / which I loved was
which_____ Lucy stolen.
recommended.

Non-defining relative clauses:

We don't use 'that' in non-defining relative clauses, so we need to use 'which' if the pronoun refers to a
thing, and 'who' if it refers to a person. We can't drop the relative pronoun in this kind of clause, even if
the relative pronoun is the subject of the clause.

(Clause comes after the subject)

My boss, who is very nice, lives in Manchester. (Clause comes after the object)

My sister, _who_I live with, knows a lot about Yesterday I called our friend Julie, __who__ lives
cars. in New York.

The photographer called the Queen, _who___

looked annoyed.

Prepositions and relative clauses

If the verb in the relative clause needs a preposition, we put it at the end of the clause:

For example:

listen to → The music is good. Julie listens to the music.

→ The music (which / that) Julie listens to is good.

work with → My brother met a woman. I used to work with the woman.

→ My brother met a woman (who / that) I used to work with.

go to → The country is very hot. He went to the country.

→ The country (which / that) he went to is very hot.

 come from →I visited the city. John comes from the city.

→ I visited the city (that / which) John comes from.

apply for The job is well paid. She applied for the job.

→ The job (which / that) she applied for is well paid.

Whose

'Whose' is always the subject of the relative clause and can't be left out. It replaces a possessive. It can
be used for people and things.

The dog is over there. The dog's / its owner lives next door. → The dog whose owner lives next door is over there.

The little girl is sad. The little girl's / her doll was lost → The little girl whose doll was lost is sad.

The woman is coming tonight. Her car is a BMW. → The woman whose car is a BMW is coming tonight.

The house belongs to me. Its roof is very old. → The house whose roof is old belongs to me.

Where / when / why

We can sometimes use these question words instead of relative pronouns and prepositions.

I live in a city. I study in the city. → I live in the city where I study.

→ I live in the city that / which I study in. → I live in the city in which I study.

The bar in Barcelona is still there. I met my wife in that bar. → The bar in Barcelona where I met my wife is still there.

→ The bar in Barcelona that / which I met my wife in is still there. → The bar in Barcelona in which I met my wife is
still there.

The summer was long and hot. I graduated from university in the summer. → The summer when I graduated from university
was long and hot.

→ The summer that / which I graduated from university in was long and hot. → The summer in which I graduated
was long and hot.

Prepositions of Place: In, at and on

A preposition of place is used to refer to a place where something or someone is located. There are three main
prepositions of place; however they can be used to discuss an almost endless number of places.

At – Used to discuss a certain point or specific address.

Ex: “I work at Dino’s Restaurant”; “Pedro is at his mother’s”.

In – Used to indicate being inside a space or a not specific area like neighborhoods, cities, countries and continents.
Ex: “The money is in the drawer”; “I live in Florianópolis, but I was born in Italy”.

Notice the difference:

She's at the library. - the emphasis is on her location and the type of place she has gone to.
She's in the library. - the emphasis is on the type of building she is in.

On – A preposition of time which is used to discuss a surface and in addresses, to indicate the street and the floor
Ex: “There is a notebook on the desk”; “I live on the 5th Avenue, on the second floor
of an old building”.

Other prepositions or adverbial locutions

In addition to the ON, IN and AT prepositions, there are others that are sometimes formed by more than one word and
are used in very specific cases.
Ex: Above - acima de; Below  – abaixo de; Over  – acima de; Under  – debaixo de; Behind  – atrás de;
In front of  – na frente de; Near /Close to/ By  – próximo, perto de; Next to / Beside  – ao lado de; Between – entre.

 Extra class activity: The differences between make and do
Oct,20th 2020
1.Listen to the audio and complete the gaps

Today, I want to tell you about the words “make” and “do”. In Portuguese, they can be translated as “fazer”. Of
course, there are other meanings, but people in Brazil usually think that “fazer” is the only option.
Because

This of this, it’s common to get confused about using one word or the other. That is, in Brazil, we usually say “fazer um
acordo”. So, English words learners get stuck and keep asking if they should use “make” or “do” in this combination. In
other words, should they say “make an agreement” or “do an agreement”?
Well, the answer for that is “make an agreement”. Why is that? Because in English the word “make” collocates with the
word “agreement”. So, you’d better say “make an agreement”. That’s how they naturally use these words, so you have
to learn the whole combination (collocation) and that’s it.

English language learners and teachers tend to focus on the words “make” and “do”. In my opinion, this is a
mistake. I believe the focus should be on the other words. For example , imagine you want to say “fazer uma
reclamação” in English._Stay_ about of asking about “make” or “do”, you should focus on the word “complaint”. That
means you have to look up the word “complaint” in a dictionary and see what is used in there. If you have a very good
dictionary, you’ll learn that in English they say “make a complaint”.

If you focus on the other word – the main word -, you’re going to learn some interesting things. One of these is related to
the word “party”. In portuguese , we say “fazer uma festa”. But in English, they usually say “throw a party”, “give a
party”, “organize a party”, “have a party”. They don’t say “make a party” or “do a party”. These combinations are not
common. You have to learn that the most common combination – or collocation – is “throw a party”.

Keep this in mind: Always focus on the other word. Do not worry about “make” or “do”. Let me give you another example.
You have to say “fazer a tarefa de casa”. You know that “tarefa de casa” in English is “homework”. So, what you have to do
is get a good_ dictionary, look up the word “homework” in it, and find out that in English they say “do the homework”. See?
What you have to do is to focus on the other word. If you focus on “make” or “do”, you’ll never learn how to combine the
words properly in English.

In case you want more, let’s try this with the word “coffee”. In Portuguese we say “fazer café”. In English, they say “make
coffee”. How about “fazer uma confissão”? In English, it’s “make a confession”. If you have to say “fazer uma boa ação”;
then, in English , you’ll have to say “do a good action”. And how do they say “fazer um favor”? Easy! It’s “do a favor”

My point here is: there are no rules to help you with that. It’s the way words are naturally combined that will help
you learn when you use “make” or “do”. Some people try to create rules for this. One of these crazy rules says that if the
thing is created, many factorys , etc., you have to use “make”. According to this rule, you say “make dinner” (fazer o
jantar), “make a cake” (fazer um bolo), “make a salad” (fazer uma salada), etc. When it come to the word “do”, they say
that “do” has to be used to describle an activity: “do the dishes” (lavar a louça), “do a translation”(fazer uma tradução), “do
exercises” (fazer exercícios).

Now, think about the word “bed”. In Portuguese, we say “fazer a cama”. It’s an activity. So, according to the rule, you have
to say “do the bed”. That’s where the rules fails! In English, the correct way to say “fazer a cama” is “make the bed”.
That really shows that the rule doesn’t work .In a nutshell, always focus on the other word to be used with “make” or
“do”. There are no magic rules. There are no magic tips. There is no magic at all. Noticing how words combine is the
only thing if you will really help you. That’s what’s going to make the whole difference.

That’s all for today. Have a nice day, guys. Take care!

2.In Portuguese, make and do can be translated as: Fazer

3.Why focusing on the words make and do is a huge mistake, according to the speaker?
So in focus on the words the give in context;

4. A words combination can be called:

( ) a preposition
(X) a colocation
( ) a conjunction

5.There's a rule to use make and do.

T( )
F( x )
Why? “There are no rules to help you with that. It’s the way words are naturally combined that will help you learn when
you use “make” or “do”.”

6.What's the best way to learn when to use make and do?
In my opinion, the best way to learn how to use "make" and "do" is looking for how the words combined words and naturally
combined;

7.Complete the sentences with the words make and do:

A. You have to _do_ what is right.
B. She has to _make_ up her mind.
C. What do you _do_ for a living?
D. _Do_ me a favor and take my glasses.
E. She _make_ too much questions
F. This noise _make_ me nervous! What are you _doing__?

Possessive Pronouns,Possessive Adjective and Objective Pronouns

Possess Possess
ive ive
Adjectiv Pronou Objective
Personal es ns Pronouns
I My Mine Me
You Your Yours You
He His His him
She Her Hers her
 It Its Its it
We Our Ours us
They Their Theirs them

Possessive Adjectives modify nouns, so they are always accompanied by nouns.

Ex: My jacket is new.  
Our car is red.
This is your pencil.

Possessive adjectives do not flex, meaning that they are valid for both the singular and the plural.
Ex: My car, my cars; Your car, your cars; His car, his cars ; Their car, their cars.

Possessive Pronouns are never used before a noun, since their function is to replace it in order to avoid
repetition.

Compare these two sentences:

Is that car your car?; Is that car yours?

The Possessive Pronouns in English do not flex, that is, they are valid for both the singular and the plural.

Ex: This dog is ours; These dogs are ours;

This car is mine; These cars are mine.

Remember:
There are no apostrophes in possessive pronouns and adjectives. Ex: The dog wagged its tail.
Possessive Pronoun scan be used in constructions with the preposition of.
Daniel and John are friends of ours.
She is a relative of his. ; He was an enemy of hers.

An Object Pronoun, also called objective pronoun, functions as the object of a verb or preposition, as
distinguished from a subject or subjective pronoun, which is the subject of a verb. Ex:

● He begged her to live with him. (her is the object of the verb begged and him is the object of the
preposition with)
● She told them the truth. (them is the object of the verb told.

Adjectives

The simplest definition of an adjective is that it is a word that describes or clarifies a noun, making your writing
and speaking much more specific, and a whole lot more interesting. Because adjectives are used to
identify or quantify individual people and unique things, they are usually positioned before
the noun or pronoun that they modify. Some sentences contain multiple adjectives.

The brown cat

definite article + adjective + noun

Types of Adjectives
Remember that adjectives can modify as well as describe other words, and you’ll find it much easier to
identify different types of adjectives when you see them.

Articles: a, an and the.

Example: Please give me a banana. I’d like the one with the green stem.
Let’s go on an adventure. The Grand Canyon mule ride sounds perfect!

Possessive Adjectives: My,Your, His, Her, Its, Our, Their.

Example: Their house is amazing;
Our classes are funny.

Demonstrative Adjectives: This, these, that, those.

Example: These books belong on that, This movie is my favorite, Please put those cookies on the blue plate.
COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES: Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two
objects they modify (largER, smallER, fastER, highER). They are used in sentences where two nouns
are compared, in this pattern:

Noun (subject) + verb + comparative adjective + than + noun (object).

Use the word MORE when your adjective has more than 3 syllables. Ex: This restaurant is more expensive
than mine.

The second item of comparison can be omitted if it is clear from the context (final example below).
EXAMPLES:
My house is larger than hers.
This box is smaller than the one I lost.
Jim and Jack are both my friends, but I like Jack better. ("than Jim" is understood)

SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES: Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper or
lower limit of a quality (the talleST, the smalleST, the fasteST, the higheST). They are used in
sentences where a subject is compared to a group of objects.

Noun (subject) + verb + THE + superlative adjective + noun (object). EXAMPLES:

My house is the largest one in our neighborhood.

Your dog ran the fastest of any dog in the race.
We all threw our rocks at the same time. My rock flew the highest. ("of all the rocks" is understood)

Use the word MOST when your adjective has more than 3 syllables.

This car is the most expensive one I’ve seen.

Adjectives Order
Sometimes we use two or more adjectives together. Example:

something. Opinion adjectives usually go before fact adjectives
 
'FACT' ADJECTIVES
    Adjectives like new, old, black are fact adjectives. They give us factual information about, age and
colour. Sometimes we use two or more fact adjectives. Very often, we put fact adjectives in this order:

Finn: Hello and welcome to 6 Minute Vocabulary with me Finn…

Catherine: And me Catherine. And today's show is all about _adjectives_ order.
Finn: Adjectives – yes, those _useful_ words we use to describe things. We'll look at what adjective order is – and
how to use it.
Catherine: There'll be a nice, _easy_ quiz…
Finn: And we'll leave you with a _small_ , but meaningful tip for learning vocabulary.
Catherine: So: let's start off with Nikki and Joe who are talking in a _furniture_ shop.
Finn: Here's a question to think about while you listen: What did Nikki's grandparents have?
Catherine: What did Nikki's grandparents have? Let's find _out_.
INSERT Nikki Joe! Come and sit on this sofa! Joe It's really _uncomfortable_ . Nikki I know... but I've always wanted a
_big_ , old, leather sofa. My grandparents had one when I was little. Joe That's not a good reason to buy a _horrible_
sofa! The one with the stripy _blue_, _cotton_ cushions looks a lot nicer. Nikki Maybe… Ooh what's this… Look, a
_beatifull_ _green_ and _blue_ Turkish kilim! Joe Kilim? Oh, a _little_ carpet. Sofas first, Nikki.
Finn: So, that's Joe and Nikki. And we asked you: what did Nikki's grandparents have?
Catherine: And the answer is: they had a _big_, _old_, _leather_ sofa.
Finn: That's _right_. And the phrase a big, old, leather sofa is our first example of adjective order.
Catherine Now, when we use two or more adjectives _toghetter__ to describe a noun, the order we _put_ them in is
important. For example, we don't usually say an _old_, leather, _big_ sofa.
Finn: So for our sofa example, first it's _size_, so big, then age - _old_, and then material - leather. A big, old, _leather_
sofa.
Catherine: So that's _size_, age, and material type. And each new adjective in the list _needs_ to go in the right place.
Finn: For example, _colour_ goes between age and _material_ type. So we can say: a big, old, red, leather sofa.
Catherine: Now some people find it _dificult_ to remember the adjective order…
Finn: But there's a good tip which is: the adjective with the meaning most closely related to the _noun_ goes nearest
to it.
Catherine: And in our example, the material type – leather – is most closely connected to the noun. Big, _old_ and
_red_ are more general. So: big, old, red, leather sofa. Another one please, Finn?
Finn: Blue stripy cotton cushions.
Catherine: That's colour – blue, _quality_ - stripy, and material type - cotton. Blue stripy _cotton_ cushions.
Finn: And Nikki got very _excited_ about a beautiful green and blue Turkish kilim.
Catherine: Did she? I can _undestand_ that.
Finn: Yes. So it's a beautiful green and blue Turkish kilim. There we had: opinion: _beatiful_ , and then colours: green
and blue, we had two _colours_ joined by 'and', and then country: _Turkish_ .
IDENT You're listening to BBC Learning English.
Finn: And we're talking about adjective order. And you might have noticed that we used some __adjectives_ at the
beginning of the programme.
Catherine: We had a nice, easy _quiz_ – with two opinion _adjectives_ . Easy has a closer connection to the noun quiz
than nice. So we put easy next to the_noun_ . A _nice_ , easy quiz.
Finn: A nice, easy quiz. And another one: a small but meaningful tip.
Catherine: We can put 'but' between adjectives when they seem a bit unusual next to each other. Like _small_ , but
meaningful.
Finn: Strange, but true, eh, Catherine?
Catherine: Indeed. Nothing strange about vocabulary. So let's hear today's examples again. First, size, age, colour, and
material.
Finn: Big, old, red, _leather_ sofa.
Catherine: And leather has the strongest connection to the noun. Next, colour, quality, and material. Finn Blue stripy
_cotton_ cushions.
Catherine: And opinion, colour, and _country_ .
Finn: Beautiful _green_ and blue Turkish kilim. Catherine Right. And now it's _quiz_ time. Put these adjectives in the
right order.
Number 1. I love my … old, smelly, _big_ dog.
Finn: Right: I love my big, old, _smelly_ dog.
Catherine: Good. Number 2. This is a … _Morocan_ , simple, but _delicious_ recipe.
Finn: This is a simple, but delicious, Moroccan recipe.
Catherine: Very good. And that brings us almost to the _end_ of the programme.
Finn: But before we go, here's that tip we promised you, and it's a game_ this time. Now, this is a game to play with a
friend to practise _describe_ things. Think of a noun but don't tell your friend _What_ it is. Then give adjective clues
to help them guess the noun. Catherine Good game. Do you want to play?
Finn: Let's give it a go.
Catherine: Brilliant. There's more about this at www._BBC_.com. Join us again for more 6 Minute Vocabulary.
Both: _Bye_ !

Making Comparisons Using As… As…

To compare two adjectives we can use as … as … Ex:

1. Something is similar A=B - Our car is as fast as Peter's car.
2. Something is not similar A≠B Use not as ... as (to say that something is not similar) -
John's car is not as fast as our car. (A≠B).
Remember: In this structure, we don’t use -ER or “more” with the adjective.

1. Look at the descriptions again, notice that some adjectives come before the noun and some
come after the noun they modify. Why?
● I am tall.
● I have a pretty smile.
Because (am) works as a linking verb connecting the subject (I) with a word that gives
information about the subject (tall). Linking Verbs do not show any action; they simply link
the subject with the rest of the sentence. The most common linking verbs are forms of the
verb to be: am, is, are, was, were, being, been.
Exercise: Unscramble the words to write the sentences properly:

a. hungry is I think she very.

___angry = hangry___________________________________
b. the best player know who’s I don’t really.

c. is short and My dad are brown his eyes.
