UNIT 1 Present Continous (I am doing)
a) Study this example situation :

Ann is in her car. She is on her way to work.


She is driving to work.
This means : she is driving now, at the time of
speaking.
This is the present continous tense :
I am ( = I’m )
He/she/(it) ( = he’s etc.) driving
We/they/you ( = we’re etc.)

We use the present continuous when we talk about something wich is happening at the
time of speaking :
- Please don’t make so much noise. I’m studying. (not ’I study’)
- ‘Where is Margaret?’ ‘She’s having a bath.’ (not ‘she has’)
- Let’s go out now. It isn’t raining any more.
- (at a party) Hello, Ann. Are you enjoying the party? (not ‘do you enjoy’)

b) We also use the present continuous when we talk about something wich is happening around
the time of speaking, but not necessarily exactly at the time of speaking. Study this example
situation :
- Tom and Ann are talking and drinking in a café. Tom says : ‘I’m reading an
interesting book at the moment. I’ll lend it to you when I’ve finished it.’
Tom is not reading the book at the time of speaking. He means that he has begun the book
and hasn’t finished it yet. He is in the middle of reading it. Here are some more examples :
- Silvia is learning English at the moment. (not ‘learns’)
- Have you heard about Tom? He is building his own house. (not ‘builds’)
But perhaps Silvia and Tom are not doing these things exactly at the time of speaking.

c) We often use the present continuous when we talk about a period around the present. For
example : today, this season etc. :
- ‘You’re working hard today.’ ‘Yes, I have a lot to do.’
- Tom isn’t playing football this season. He wants to concentrate on his
studies.

d) We use the present continuous when we talk about changing situations :


- The population of the world is rising very fast. (not ‘rises’)
- Is your English getting better? (not ‘does … get’)

Steve : Really? (6) ………………………… (you/do) it alone?
UNIT 2 Present Simple (I do)
a) Study this example situation :

Alex is a bus driver. But now he is a sleep in bed.


So :
He is not driving a bus (he is a sleep)
But : He drives a bus.
This is the present simple tense :
I/we/you/they drive
He/she/(it) drives

We used the present simple to talk about things in general. We are not thinking only about
the present. We use it to say that something happens all the time or repeatedly, or that
something is true in general. It is not important wether the action is happening at the time
of speaking : :
- The earth goes round the sun.
- Nurses look after patients in hospitals.
- In Britain most of the shops close at 5.30 p.m.
Remember that we say he/she/it – s. don’t forget the s :
- I work in bank. Barry works in a shop.

b) We use do/does to make questions and negative sentences :

Do I/we/you/they I/we/you/they don’t


Does he/she/it Work? he/she/it doesn’t Work

- Excuse me, do you speak English?


- ‘Would you like a cigarette?’ ‘No, thanks. I don’t smoke.’
- What does this word mean? (not ‘What means this word?’)
- Rice doesn’t grow in Britain.
For questions see also Unit 49.

c) We use the present simple when we say how often we do things :


- I get up at 8 o’clock every morning. (not ‘am getting’)
- How often do you go to the dentist?
- Ann doesn’t often drink tea.
- In summer Tom usually plays tennis twice a week.

d) Note thet we say ‘Where do you come from?’ ( = Where are you from?) :
- Where do you come from? (not ‘Where are you coming from?’)
- He comes from Japan. (not ‘He is coming from Japan.’)

e) When you make a suggestion, you can say Why don’t you …? :
- ‘I’m tired.’ ‘Why don’t you go to bed early
- UNIT 2 Exercises

UNIT 3 past simple (I did)
a) Study this example :
Tom : Look it’s raining again .
Ann : Oh no, not again. It rained all day yesterday too.
Rained is the past simple tense. We use the past simple to talk about actions or
situations in the past

- Ivery much enjoyed the party


- Mr. Edwards died teen years ago.
- When I live in Manchaster , Iworked in bank.
b) Very often the past simple ends in- ed :
- We invited them to our party but they decided not to come.
- The police stopped me on my way home last night
- She passed her examination because she studied very hard.

But many important verbs are irregular. This means that the past simple does not end in- ed
For example:
Leave --------left We all left the party at 11 o’clock
Go --------went Yesterday I went to London to see a friend of mine.
Cost----------cost This house cost £ 35,000 in 1980.

The past of the verb be (am/is/ are) is was /were:


I/ he /she /it was we you /they were

Iwas angry because Tom and Ann were late

c) Past simple questions and negatives we use did/ didn’t rain + the infinitive (do/open/rain
etc.)

It rained did it rain? It didn’t rain

- Ann : Did you go out last night ,Tom?


- Tom : Yes I went to the cinema . But I didn’t enjoy the film.
- When did Mr,Edwards die ?
- What did you do at the week-end?
- We didn’t invite her to party, so she didn’t come.
- Why didn’t you phone me on Tuesday?
Note that we normally use did/ didn’t with have:
- Did you have time to write the letter?
- I didn’t have enough money to buy anything to eat.
But we do not use did with the verb be (was/ were):
- Why were you so angry?
- They weren’t able to come because they were very busy.

Women in the Nuclear Family

The family is changing. In the past, grandparents, parents, and children used to live
together; in other words, they had an “extended family.” Sometimes two or more
brothers with their wives and children were part of this large family group. But
family structure is changing throughout the world. The “nuclear family” consists of
only one father, one mother and children; it is becoming the main family structure
everywhere.

The nuclear family offers married women some advantages: they have freedom
from their relatives, and husband does not have all the power of the family. Family
structure in most part of the world is still “patriarchal”; that is the father is the head
of the family and makes most of the important decisions. Studies show, however,
that in nuclear families, men and women usually make an equal number of
decisions about family life. Also, well-educated husbands and wives often prefer to
share the power.

But wives usually have to “pay” for the benefits of freedom and power. When
women lived in extended families, sisters, grandmothers, and aunts helped one
another with housework and childcare. In addition, older women in a large family
group had important positions. Wives in nuclear families do not often enjoy this
benefit, and they have another disadvantage, too; women generally live longer than
their husbands, so older women from nuclear families often have to live alone
Studies show that women are generally less satisfied with marriage than mean are. In
the past, mean worked outside the home and women worked inside. Housework and
childcare were a full-time job, and there was no time for anything else. Of course this
situation is changing. Women now work outside the home and have more freedom
than they did in the past. Why, then, are some women still discontent?

In most parts of the world today, women work because the family needs more
money. However, their outside jobs often give them less freedom, not more,
because they still have to do most of the housework. The women actually have two
full-time jobs- one outside the home and another inside- and not much free time.

The nuclear family will probably continue to be the main family form of the future.
Change, however, usually brings disadvantages along with benefits, and family
forms of the past had had many advantages. (Taken from INTERACTIONS, Kirn,
1985)

Most children have achieved remarkably sophisticated language capabilities by the
age of three. Their vocabularies have reached about 1000 words, and they can use
as many as five of those words in a single sentence. They make up new words, too.
They can speak about the past and future as well as the present. They understand
that some words have more than one meaning. They can duck when a ball is
coming or see a duck on lake. They have began to use negatives (“That’s not mine”)
and helping verbs (“I can do it myself”).

Over the next two years, their vocabulary will more than double. They will begin to
play with words, to repeat silly sounds, to try out “toilet” words or even swear
words, just to elicit an adult’s reaction. Newly aware of the power of words, they
will begin to argue, and they will start to tell jokes.

This language play carries on a process of experimentation that began when child
was an infant, first encountering language. At one time, experts thought children
learned language simply by imitating adults. Nowadays, most linguists agree that
children learn primarily by experimenting- by listening and thinking about what
they hear, by making their own sounds, and then by observing the way others react.

Language comes first as a great garble of sound. Slowly, children learn to hear
individual sound patterns, or words. They try out sounds. For example babies
.

babble “da da” and from adult’s responses (“yes, that’s daddy”), learn which sounds
enable them to communicate effectively. (Taken from TOEFL Prep Book, Lin

Thinking Skills

Many teachers today believe that they teach thinking skills. In most instances,
however, what they actually do involves putting students into situations where they
are simply made to think and expected to do is as best they can. Most methods
teachers customarily use to “teach” thinking are indirect, rather than direct. These
methods are based on the questionable assumption that by doing thinking,
students automatically learn how to engage in such thinking.

Educational researchers have pointed out time and again that learning to think is
not an automatic by-product of studying certain subjects, assimilating the products
of someone else’s thinking, or simply being asked to think about a subject or topic.
Nor do youngsters learn how to engage in critical thinking effectively by
themselves. There is little reason to believe that competence in critical thinking can
be an incidental outcome of instruction directed, or that appears to be directed, at
other ends. By concentrating on the detail of the subject mater being studied, most
common approaches to teaching critical thinking so obscure the skills of how to
engage in thinking that students fail to master them.

If we want to improve student proficiency in thinking, we must use more direct


methods of instruction than we now use. First, we must establish as explicit goals of
instruction, the attitude, skill, and knowledge components of critical thinking.
Second, we must employ direct, systematic instruction in these skills prior to,
during, and following student introduction to and use of these skills in our
classrooms. (Taken from TOEFL Prep Book, Lin Lougheed, 1992)

Food Personalities

People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars, and their homes. A
study shows that our diets are also an expression of our personalities. Perhaps we
don’t choose foods only for taste and nutrition. We might choose them because
they “tell” people something about us. For example, some people mainly eat
gourmet foods, such as caviar and lobster, and they eat only in expensive
restaurants (never in cafeterias or snack bars). They might want to “tell” the world
that they know about the “the better things in life.”

Human beings can eat many different kinds of foods, but some people choose not
to eat meat. These vegetarians often have more in common than just their diet.
Their personalities might be similar, too. For example, vegetarians in the United
States may be creative people, and they might not enjoy competitive sports or jobs.
They worry about their health of the world, and they probably don’t believe in war.

Some people eat mostly “fast food”. One study shows that many fast food-eaters
have a lot in common with each other, but they are very much different from
vegetarians. They are competitive and good at business. They are also in hurry.
Many fast food eaters might not agree with this description of their personalities,
but it is a common picture of them.
Some people also believe that people of the same astrological sign have similar food
personalities. Arians (born under the sign of Aries, between March 21 and April 19)
usually like spicy food, with a lot of onions and pepper. People with the sign of
Taurus (April 20 to may 20) prefer healthful fruits and vegetables to other food, but
they often eat too much. Sagittarians (November 22 to December 21) like ethnic
foods from many different countries. Aquarians (January 20 to February 18) can
eat as much meat and fish as they want, but sugar and cholesterol are sometimes
problems for them. (Taken from Mozaic, Wegmann & Kenezevic, 1985)

What will we expect from computers in the near future?

Trends in hardware development are helping students with disabilities gain greater
independence and integration into society. Speech recognition systems, electronic
communications, personal computers, robots, and artificial intelligence are making
a difference. The movement towards miniaturization, use of lighter materials, and
high-capacity information processing are making devices more transparent.
Devices such as wrist-watch computers will provide students with unobtrusive
support. Peripheral devices are becoming more adaptable to multimodalities.
Computers that are activated by voice and have synthesized speech are assisting
students who are physically handicapped, blind, and at risk. Captions and
enhanced narration of TV programs are also helping students who have physical
and language disabilities. Distance education, telecommunications, expert systems,
and artificial intelligence are projected to become more prevalent and especially
valuable to the special education populace. (Taken from Computers in Education
by Merrill, at al.)

How has a computer application influenced our attitudes?

Attitudes are associated with almost every learning activity. An attitude is an


internal state that affects our tendency to respond in a certain way. People
generally have a positive or negative emotional reaction to any learning situation.
That emotional reaction influences our attitudes about what we have learned. Our
attitudes influence how we respond with respect to our knowledge and skills.
Attitudes are involved in choices made about smoking cigarettes, attendening an
opera, studying, following safety procedures, and obeying traffic laws. Attitudes can
be influenced and changed through the use of classical condition, reinforcement,
and human modeling.

Any computer application will have some influence on student attitudes. If the
program is designed to adapt to individual needs, then the student will experience
success and have a positive emotional reaction. If the program is too easy or too
difficult, the student will become bored or frustrated, which leads to negative
attitudes. If appropriate gaming elements are incorporated into the application,
then the students will be motivated to continue to interact with the program. When
students have a choice, they will engage in those learning activities that are
enjoyable and relevant to their interests. Computer-based videodisc applications
can be used to demonstrate or model appropriate choice behaviors. (Taken from
Computers in Education by Merrill, et al.)

The Laser

Since the laser is an intense, highly directional source of light, some of its energy
will be absorbed by the material it strikes. This absorption can result in a
temperature increase of the surface and/or the interior of the object. If the object
placed in the path of the laser is the human body, then extra precautions should be
taken.

The eye is much more vulnerable to injury from laser radiation than the skin. When
a laser beam directly hits the eye, visible light is transmitted through the cornea
and lens and is focused to a small spot on the retina. This is true for direct viewing
(looking into the laser) as well as specular reflections of the beam (reflection off
mirror like surfaces).

Both Class I and II Helium-Neon lasers can be used for classroom demonstrations
because of the low potential for injury to the user or viewer. However, the Laser
Institute of America lists the following safety precautions when operating Class II
lasers:
Do not permit a person to stare into the laser.
Do not point the laser at a person’s eye.
Keep beam paths above or well below either sitting or standing eye level.
Permit only experienced personal to operate the laser, and do not leave an
operable laser unattended.

Eliminate unnecessary specular surfaces from the vicinity of the beam path.
(Taken from TOEFL Prep Book, Lin Lougheed, 1992)

Social media

Social media is a medium to socialize with each other and be done online that allows humans to
interact with each other without being limited by time and space.
Social media can be grouped into several major sections, namely:
1. Social Networks, social media to socialize and interact (Facebook, myspace, hi5, Linked in,
bebo, etc.)
2. Discuss, social media that facilitates a group of people to chat and discuss (google talk, yahoo!
M, skype, phorum, etc.)
3. Share, social media that facilitates us to share files, videos, music, etc. (youtube, slideshare,
feedback, flickr, crowdstorm, etc.)
4. Publish, (wordpredss, wikipedia, blog, wikia, digg, etc.)
5. Social games, social media in the form of games that can be done or played together
(koongregate, doof, pogo, cafe.com, etc.)
6. MMO (kartrider, warcraft, neopets, conan, etc.)
7. Virtual worlds (habbo, imvu, starday, etc.)
8. Livecast (y! Live, tv blog, justin tv, listream tv, livecastr, etc.)
9. Livestream (socializr, froendsfreed, socialthings !, etc.)
10. Micro blog (twitter, plurk, pownce, twirxr, plazes, tweets, etc.)

Social media removes human boundaries to socialize, space and time constraints, with social
media, it is possible for humans to communicate with each other wherever they differ and
whenever, no matter how far they are, and no matter day or night.

Social media has a big impact on our lives today. Someone who is originally "small" can
instantly become big with social media, and vice versa, "big" people can become "small" in a
second with social media.

If we can use social media, there are many benefits that we can, as a medium of marketing,
trading, looking for connections, expanding friendships, etc. But if we are used by social media
either directly or indirectly, there are also a few disadvantages that will be obtained such as
addiction, difficult to get along in the real world, autism, etc.).

Smart people can use social media to make life easier, make it easier for them to learn, find
work, send assignments, find information, shop, etc.
Social media adds a new dictionary in our treasury, that is, besides knowing the real world, we
also now know "cyberspace". Unlimited free world that contains people from the real world.
Everyone can be anything and anyone in cyberspace. A person can be very different in life
between the real world and cyberspace, this is seen especially in social networks.

Task
1. Translate the text above individually
2. Work in group and make the riset about differences positive and negative things in social
media (fscebook.twitter, and instagram)
JOB INTERVIEW
In job interviews, everyone must be required to introduce themselves as best as possible so that it is
memorable for the agency who wants to receive the workers. Generally, in job interviews it is used in two
languages, Indonesian and English. However, for jobs in an institution whose rates are quite high, usually
introductions in job interviews are required to use English, then Squline will try work interviews with
English can sometimes make you discouraged and insecure. Although only asked to introduce themselves
in English. Many feel that their English proficiency is inadequate so applicants are reluctant to try to
apply. though actually to introduce yourself to the agency when the job interview was just as easy as you
introduce yourself in front of the class while still sitting on the school bench first.

The most fundamental difference in the introduction of English during an interview with the introduction
of English in front of the class during school is only to whom we introduce ourselves.this means this,
when you introduce yourself in front of the class during English lessons, if you speak wrong words in
english, maybe you will only get comments from the teacher. However, when you introduce in English
during an interview in front of the agency, if you are wrong in speaking words in English, the impact is
not accepted at the proposed agency. For that, to avoid things that are not desired when introducing
yourself In English during job interviews, here we will describe some tips for preparing yourself to be
fluent in introducing yourself using English during a job interview.

 Say greetings.

 Put a friendly smile.

 Mention all the skills we have to support the work we are applying for.

 Express all the reasons that make us want to work in the agency.

 Describe all the things and plans that we will do if we are later accepted at work.
Tell the question if it is permissible to ask.
 Every introduction essentially requires a systematic path so that the interviewer feels aware of
what we say and we introduce.
 The main key to introducing in English when this job interview is certainly calm.

Yes, we have seen so many failures that occur only because people are not calm enough to respond and
face something that is ahead. Therefore, calm must basically be trained and highlighted in facing any
problem
