We use there is/there are to say something exists in a place. Cross out the incorrect answers about
the sentences:

1. We use there is/there are with singular nouns.

2. We use there is/there are with plural nouns.

We can make questions and short answers like this:

• Is there a lamp in the kitchen? Yes, there is. / No, there isn’t.
• Are there shelves in the living room? Yes, there are. / No, there aren’t.

We also often use prepositional phrases with there is/are to explain where something is:

• There is a mirror in the room next to the bed.

• There are shelves on the right/left.
• There is a table behind/in front of the sofa.

We usually make a contraction with the singular form when we speak - There’s a chair. We cannot
make contractions with the plural form. (We don’t say: There’re shelves.)

We usually make contractions for short negative answers: No, there isn’t. We cannot make a contraction
for a short positive answer - Yes, there is. (We don’t say: Yes, there’s).

we say: No, I cannot.)

1. Can has a different / the same form with different subjects.

2. We need to use an infinitive with to / without to after can.
3. We use the contraction can’t to be more informal / formal.

Pronunciation: can and can’t are opposites, so it is very important to pronounce them clearly.

• Can: has a short vowel sound /k@n/ and is only stressed in short answers.
• Can’t: has a long vowel sound and you have to pronounce the final sound clearly /kænt/. It is
usually stressed.

Practice saying these sentences with the correct pronunciation. The stressed syllables are in bold:

ANIMALS AND HABITATS

Animal Winners

People use both camels and elephants for transport, but camels can run at 40 miles per
hour while an elephant’s top speed is 15 miles per hour. Of course, they live in different
habitats - elephants prefer grassland while camels live in the desert.

Lions and tigers are both big cats, but there are several differences between them. Tigers
are forest animals while lions live in grassland. Tigers live alone while lions live in groups.
There is not much difference in size between them, but adult tigers weigh 487 pounds
while adult lions weigh 400 pounds.

Everyone hears about shark attacks on the news and in movies. People around the world
worry about sharks when they go swimming in the ocean. So, you may be surprised to
know that sharks kill six people every year, more or less, while snakes kill around 100,000
people. You can relax at the beach! (But not in the desert...)

The big question is, which animals are intelligent? It’s difficult to give an answer because
there are many ways to be intelligent. If we think about how different animals remember
events from the past, scientists believe that dolphins have a better memory than chimps.
However, dogs are better at understanding human language than dolphins.

Choose your best words to complete the sentences. Then compare answers with your partner and
explain your ideas using comparatives, as in the example.
Example:

A funny animal I enjoy seeing on TV: camels or lions?

• A: I enjoy seeing camels on TV. They’re funnier than lions because they don’t do what
their owners want.

• B: Not me! I like TV shows about lions. The babies are funnier than camels when they
play. And lions are more interesting than camels because they work together.

Which is better and why:

1. An interesting place that I’d like to visit on vacation: the desert or the forest?
2. An easy place for people to visit: grasslands or the ocean?
3. An intelligent animal that I’d like to see in the wild: elephants or dolphins?
4. A dangerous animal that I am afraid of: tigers or sharks?
5. A cute pet I’d like to have: chimps or snakes?

6 Extra practice/homework
Read the webpage about sharks and dolphins and correct the sentences that have mistakes. If the
sentence is correct, put a tick Xnext to it.

Factfile: Sharks and dolphins

Sharks and dolphins look similar, but they are very different. Dolphins are mammals like
humans, while sharks are a type of fish.
1. Dolphins is faster than sharks.
2. Dolphins also have larger brains.
3. This makes dolphins intelligent than sharks.
4. Dolphins also friendlier than sharks.
5. Most people think dolphins are more cute too.
6. Sharks have sharper teeth and so are more dangerous dolphins.
7. Some sharks are biger than a car!
8. Maybe sharks are more interesting because they are more different from us than
dolphins.
9. But swimming with dolphins is gooder than swimming with sharks!

Comparative sentences have stressed and (unstressed) forms when we say them:

• Cheese (is) moreexpensive (than) fruit.

Stressed forms are strong - they sound loud and long. Unstressed forms are weak - they sound
soft and short.

Practice saying these comparative sentences with stressed and (unstressed) forms.

1. Deserts (are) hotter (than) forests.

2. Sharks (are) more interesting (than) dolphins.
3. Snakes (are) longer (than) chimps.
4. Chimps (are) funnier (than) camels.

Now mark the stressed and unstressed words in these sentences and practice saying them.

WHERE IN THE WORLD

TRANSCRIPT
Host: Hi, listeners! Welcome to our travel podcast. I’m here with world traveler Milly Mann
to talk about some of her trips. Hello, Milly. Let’s start by talking about an easy place to visit.
Milly: Hello. I think an easy place to visit is New Zealand. People speak English and enjoy
meeting foreigners. I think it’s the safest country in the world for travelers.
Host: Sure, but it’s also one of the farthest! It can take 24 hours to fly to New Zealand from
the US. Tell us about an expensive country to visit.
Milly: Right, well, start saving now if you want to visit Switzerland. Lunch in a cheap restaurant
costs around $25, while a night in a hotel can cost $350. Switzerland is probably the most
expensive country in the world to visit. But it’s is also one of the prettiest. The Alps are so
beautiful.
Host: That’s true. Now, lots of people say that they really want to get to know a place when
they visit. So, I guess it’s good to visit a small country. What’s a nice small place to visit?
Milly: Hmm... I think the smallest country in the world is the Vatican, in Rome, Italy. Only
700 people live there. But there are no hotels. You have to stay in Rome and visit the Vatican
during the day.
Host: OK, one last question. People often go on holiday to enjoy the sun. Can you suggest
an interesting hot place to visit?
Milly: I think Death Valley, in California in the US, is the hottest place that people enjoy
visiting. The desert is amazing, but the temperature can reach 130 degrees! Be careful!
Host: Good advice. Thanks very much, Milly.

3 Language point
Study the sentences below.

• New Zealand is the safest country in the world for travelers, but it’s also one of the
farthest.
• Switzerland is probably the most expensive country to visit. But it’s is also one of the
prettiest.
• I think the smallest country in the world is the Vatican, in Rome, Italy.
• Death Valley, in California, is the hottest place that people enjoy visiting.

We use superlative adjectives to compare more than two things.

DO WE HAVE ANY ONIONS?

3 Language point
Read the grammar information and examples and answer the questions.

There are two types of nouns in English. Some nouns are countable: they have a singular
and a plural form. We see countable nouns as separate items. The singular form of
countable nouns needs an article: a/an.

• We have ... a potato. (plural form: potatoes)

• There are three onions here. (singular form: an onion)

Some nouns are uncountable: they only have a singular form. We do not see
uncountable nouns as separate items. We cannot use a plural form with uncountable
nouns, and we cannot use the article a/an.

• I think we need bread.

• I like honey.
• I think we also need sparkling water.

Which of these nouns do you think are countable? cheese / garlic / oranges / meat / pears / pasta /
tomatoes

• Yes, we have some onions. / I want some honey.

• No, we don’t have any apples. / We don’t have any bread.
• Do we have any onions? / Do we need any sparkling water?

Choose the best option to complete these rules.

1. We use some with plural countable and uncountable nouns in positive sentences / negative sentences.
2. We use any with plural countable and uncountable nouns in positive sentences / negative sentences.
3. We use some / any with plural countable and uncountable nouns in questions.

We can also use lots of or a lot of to describe a large amount.

• We have a lot of eggs. (We have lots of eggs.)
• If we get lots of lettuce, then I can make a salad... (If we get a lot of lettuce...)

We use lots of / a lot of with only plural countable nouns / both plural countable nouns and uncountable
nouns / only uncountable nouns.

Now decide where these phrases fit best and put the numbers next to each phrase.

How would you like to pay? What colors does it come in?

Where are the changing rooms? I don’t think I like it.

I usually wear a small/medium/large. How much does it cost?

Study these sentences and the information.

• How many colors does it come in?

• How much is it?

We use many and much to refer to quantity. We use many to refer to countable things
and much to refer to uncountable things.

Countable things have both singular and plural forms - color/colors.

Uncountable things only have a singular form - the noun money is uncountable.

5. She was famous making laws about transport safety.
6. She and her husband Ted were very interested in their nieces and nephews.
7. Barbara Castle was married?

7 Optional extension

In English, we stress the information words in a sentence. This means we say these words more
strongly: louder and longer. If some words are stressed, other words sound weak, or unstressed
(softer and shorter). Unstressed words are usually grammar words. Understanding stressed and weak
words helps you listen and speak better in English.

Listen again to the sentences about Elvis Presley and notice the strong and weak words. Then practice
saying the sentences like the recording.
• He was a famous American singer.
• He was famous for hismusic.
• He was born in 1935 in Mississippi, USA.
• His parents werevery poor - it was a difficult time in the American economy.

Now mark the strong and (weak) words for these sentences about Albert Einstein. Listen and check
your ideas. Practice saying the sentences with stressed and weak words.
• He was a German scientist.
• He was famous for his theory of relativity.
• He was born in 1879 in Germany.
• His father was a businessman, and his mother was a pianist.

We use the past simple to talk about finished actions in the past.

Regular verbs form the past simple by adding -ed/d.

However, some common verbs are irregular, and you need to

learn their past simple forms.

For example, bought is the past simple of buy, cost is the past
simple of cost, and met is the past simple of meet.

ROBOTS

3 Language point

Study these sentences and the table and then answer the questions.

So, I’ll relax on the sofa, and the robot will clean my house.

I don’t think robots will teach our children.

Computers will be important in education, but robots won’t be very good teachers.

positive sentence I/you/he/she/it/ will (’ll) clean the house.

we/they

negative sentence I/you/he/she/it/ will not (won’t) be important.

we/they

yes/no questions Will I/you/he/she/it/ clean the house? / be

we/they important?

short answers Yes, I/you/he/she/it/ No, I/you/he/she/it/

we/they will. we/they won’t.

question word When / Why / How will I/you/he/she/it/ clean the house? / be
questions we/they important?

We use these forms to make predictions. Predictions are what we think or know about the future.

1. After will/won’t we use the infinitive with to / without to.

2. We can / can’t make contractions with positive sentences if the subject is a pronoun (I, you, he,
etc.).
3. We can / can’t make contractions of will + not in negative sentences.
4. We can also make positive / negative sentences by using the introduction I don’t think.

We often use these phrases to show we are making predictions:

• Well, I believe that robots will help doctors to do operations.

• I predict that there will be very small robots that can enter our bodies.
• I think people will always be more dangerous than robots!
• I hope he’ll be ready to work soon.

ROBOTS

We can also show how sure we are about our predictions by using these adverbs.

• Robots will certainly be very important in the next ten years.

• These small robots will probably be very expensive at first.
• Robots in some areas, like war or police work, will possibly be dangerous to people.
• Robots probably won’t be very good teachers.

1. If you say certainly, you are not feeling / feeling very sure about your prediction.
2. Probably means you are more / less sure than possibly.
3. These adverbs go before /after will and before / after the main verb in positive sentences.
4. These adverbs go before /after won’t in negative sentences.

7 Optional extension

The letter O can be pronounced in these two ways:

a long sound: note /oU/ - to make this sound, your mouth needs to be the shape of an O

a short sound: not /a:/

Which sound does the word robot have in the first syllable? /o@U/

You need to be careful when you say the word won’t because it can sound like the word want. This
will be confusing for your listener. Compare these sentences:
• I won’t go to London.
• I want to go to London.
Practice these words with similar sounds.

A) /oU/ B) /a:/

note not

won’t want

own on

hope hop

Listen to your teacher saying one of the pairs of words. Are they saying sound A or sound B?

• Work in pairs and repeat the activity.

• Practice this tongue twister: I hope you won’t own a lot of robots that want to hop on you.

SAFARI PARK

Pronunciation note: mustn’t /m2s@nt/ has a silent letter t in the middle (which we write but
don’t pronounce).

We also use can / can’t when we’re talking about rules and permission.
• You can’t leave the road for any reason.
• You can take photographs, of course...
• At the end of your experience, you can visit our shop to buy souvenirs.

The negative form can’t has the same meaning as shouldn’t / mustn’t.

The positive form can means that you choose what to do / it is necessary to do something.

Pronunciation: can and can’t are opposites, so it is very important to pronounce them clearly.

• Can: has a short vowel sound /k@n/ and is only stressed in short answers.

• Can’t: has a long vowel sound and you have to pronounce the final sound clearly /kænt/.
It is usually stressed.

We also use these imperative positive and negative forms to talk about rules and laws.
• Don’t touch or feed the animals.
• While in your car, drive slowly and safely. Watch out for animals...

We need / don’t need a subject in these forms.

We use an auxiliary verb in the negative form only / in both the positive and negative forms.
