GRAMMAR

Articles

We use a/an when the listener doesn’t know which thing we mean. We use the when it is clear which thing we mean. For example, in a room we talk about “ the light / the floor / the ceiling / the door ” etc. We also say the police/the fire-brigade/the army/the bank/the doctor.

We say the … when there is only one of something. We say the sea/the sky/the ground/the countryside/the country. We say go to sea/be at sea (without the) when the meaning is “ go/be on a voyage ”. We say space when we mean space in the universe.

When we say the cinema, the theatre, we don’t necessarily mean one particular cinema or theatre.

We usually say the radio but television. The television means the television set.

We don’t normally use the with the names of meals. We say a meal and we also say a when there is an adjective before the names of meals.

We use the +a singular countable noun when we talk about a type of plant, animal, machine, invention and about musical instruments.

We use the with some adjectives (without a noun). The meaning is always plural.

 

 

The rich, the poor, the old, the young, the blind, the deaf, the sick, the dead, the disabled, the unemployed, the injured.

 

You use the with some nationality adjectives when you mean “the people of that country”:

The British, the English, the Welsh, the Irish, the Spanish, the French, the Dutch, the Swiss.

We use the with nationality words ending in – ese (the Japanese, the Chinese), with other nationalities you have to use a plural noun ending in – s (the Russians, the Italians, the Arabs, the Scots, the Turks)

COMMUNICATION

 

Case study

Working in groups of three or four read the texts about Sir Winston Churchill and Charles Darwin (Unit I and Unit II) and prepare presentations about these famous people.

While preparing presentations use advise below to be more successful.

 

The Most Effective Format of Presentation · Introduction: set the tone and the theme · Motivation opening: tell them why to listen; lift your visor · Outline of agenda: help them to understand and picture the structure of your material · Present your basic idea: explain the whole idea first so whatever further explanation comes next can be hung from the framework you create right at the beginning · Content - section by section: begin to break into segments; present each segment with its details · Recap each section: build in a recap at the end of each section before you finish and go on, for reinforcement and additional clarification · Make transitions to next section: let everyone know you're about to go to a new topic; this makes your outline structure continuously clear · Wrap-up: at the end of all the components, wrap up by restating the whole idea, hitting the major points · Conclusion: finish memorably with a grand finale - bringing together all the elements of your presentation by reviewing the highlights and restating your major argument.
