Now, look at the sentences on the right


column.

What do they have in common?

*GRAMMAR FOCUS*

The imperative mood

-It reflects the speaker’s perspective. We use the imperative in many different ways, for
example, to give instructions and orders, to make suggestions and requests, and to
give warnings or advice.

-It has the same form as the infinitive without to and it is directed to the unnamed
subject “you”. Example:

Organize your time.


Re-clarify your goals.
Make to-do lists.

-We make the negative imperative with don’t/do not + infinitive. Examples:

Don’t lose your time.


Don’t go out with friends.
7 Procrastinating is a bad habit that prevents us from achieving greater goals.
Research indicates that more than 50% of student population procrastinate in a
problematic manner. In pairs, imagine that you are the authors of a blog which gives
tips to university students to avoid procrastinating. Write down dos and don’ts.

Many students talk about their academic life on social media and get feedback from
others who are in a similar situation or just want to give them a piece of advice. Read
what Carl says and the comments posted. Which of the three pieces of advice do you
agree with? Why?

Comments

Graham
You should try to find a comfortable and quiet
place to study. It helps you to gain concentration.

78
How do Graham, Tracey and Nick introduce their
pieces of advice?

What difference/s do you notice with the imperative


form?

*GRAMMAR FOCUS*

SHOULD

We use SHOULD / SHOULDN’T + verb (infinitive without TO) to give somebody advice or
to say what we think is the right thing to do.

You should revise the contents before the exam.

You shouldn’t drink coffee when you study during the night.

You can also use: I think you should… or I don’t think you should… (NOT: I don’t think
you shouldn’t…)

8 What should these people do? Read the messages posted and give them a
short piece of advice. You can use should / shouldn’t or the imperative
form.

Section 2- Study habits

1 Work in pairs. Which applies to you? Choose yes or no. Discuss them with your
partner and then be ready to talk about you in class.

In the class… Outside the class…

Yes/No Yes/No

I work in pairs or in groups. I listen to music


when I study.

83
How does a person show the frequency of an
activity?

Look for examples in the notebook.

*GRAMMAR FOCUS*

Frequency adverbs
We use frequency adverbs to indicate the frequency of an action. Take a look at these
examples:

I/You/We/They always accept diversity.

I/You/We/They never discriminate (= anyone.


don’t discriminate)

He/She sometimes talks about his/her study habits in the


classroom.

The Welfare often has personal interviews with


Department (It) students.

Now take a look at the triangle below where the symbol + indicates the highest
frequency and the symbol – the lowest frequency:

84
When we use the verb be, the frequency adverb comes after it. When we use any other
verb, the adverb comes before it. Take a look at these examples:
- UNLaM’s professors and lecturers are always attentive to their students’ needs
in class.
- The students always have opportunities to work together in the classroom.

Expressions of frequency

There are other expressions that we can use to talk about frequency. These
expressions are longer (2 words or more) and always come at the end of a sentence.

…?

For example: I study in the library twice a week. I attend lessons at university every
two days.

How do we ask about frequency?

How often do you study in the library? Do you ever study in the library?

I never study in the library. No, never. / Well, sometimes. / Yes,


usually.

85
2 Use the information below to write true sentences about you and a
classmate. To know about him/her ask him/her questions using How often
do you…?

always – usually – often – sometimes – seldom – never – every


I – My

*GRAMMAR FOCUS*

First conditional

-To make suppositions about the future, the first type conditional can be used.
Example:

If you organize your time, you’ll have better academic results.


IF clause Main clause
cause possible consequence

We use the present simple in the IF clause to talk about a possible situation, and the
simple future (WILL / WON’T + INFINITIVE) in the main clause to mention its
possible consequence.
The IF clause can come first or second. If the IF clause comes first, we usually put a
comma before the next clause as it is shown in the previous example. If it comes
second, we omit the comma.
You’ll have better academic results If you organize your time.

MODALITY
Modal verbs are used to communicate a personal attitude towards the message. They

90
are always the first word in a verb group and are written before the subject in
questions.

They do not normally indicate the time when something happens. Below there are
two

modal verbs and their primary meanings.

MAY: possibility WOULD: hypothetical situation

9 Extract sentences with modal verbs from the text about study techniques
and from the second part of Harrison Bergeron. Let’s look at other modal
verbs. Remember those worked in Module 1 page 21.

Section 3 – Fiction time: Harrison Bergeron

1 Revise part 2 and put the events in the correct order.


With law breakers, society would return to its previous competitive ways.

Another noise interrupted George’s thoughts, now he was thinking of his


son.

When a noise interrupted their conversation, they stopped talking.

The dancers weren’t very good because they had been handicapped for the
audience.

1 The couple were watching a dance on TV.

As George was reflecting on the dancers, a noise interrupted his thoughts.

Hazel suggested George taking weights out of his handicap bag.

Hazel would like to be a Handicapper General because she knew what


“normality” and “equality” were.

Why did Hazel hate the old


competitive ways of society?

Now, listen and check the order.

2 Read and listen to Part 3 of the story “Harrison Bergeron”.

On TV, an announcer with a speech impediment tried to read a news report. He couldn’t control
his impediment, so he gave it to a ballerina to read. Hazel admired the announcer for working with
his natural abilities and said he should get a better salary for trying so hard. The ballerina began
reading in her natural, beautiful voice, then apologized and switched to an awful voice. The news
report said that Harrison had escaped from prison.
A photo of Harrison appeared on the screen. He was wearing the handicaps to reduce his
strength, intelligence, and good looks. The photo showed that he was seven feet tall and covered in
300 pounds of metal. He was wearing huge earphones, not a small radio, and big glasses to blind

SPEAK YOUR MIND

TIP TO IMPROVE YOUR SPEAKING


When we give opinions about something, it’s
a good idea to vary the phrases that we use
to introduce those opinions. In that way, we
avoid repetitions and improve our
vocabulary. Have a go!

More Expressions to show agreement and disagreement with your peer’s


opinions.

Useful words to express your agreement:


That’s right. I think the same.
I agree with this idea. I couldn’t agree more.

Useful words to express your disagreement:


I can’t support this idea. I’m afraid that is not quite true.
I take a different view. I don’t agree with this idea.

1 Listen and complete the opinions with the expression according to the
point of view given.

1. Study techniques are great equalizers.


a. ……………………………….; good study techniques are important but there are
other factors that can make a difference.
b. …………………………….… . Good study techniques don't help everyone
equally. I have dyslexia, so I struggle with a lot of traditional study
techniques.
c. ………………………………..; I come from a poor background, but as I had good
study techniques in high school, I have been able to succeed and now I'm in
college on a scholarship.

100
2. Students at university are almost always helpful to disabled students.
a. ………………………………. ; a lot of students are indifferent to disabled
students or even act negatively towards them.
b. ……………………………….. . When I was at college, I had a friend with a hearing
impairment and the other students and professors were so helpful to her.
c. ……………………………….. ; I’m disabled and this topic really gets me
emotional. It's difficult, and I often felt isolated and ignored by other students.

3. At university, there is no difference between a procrastinator and an organized


student.
a. ……………………………….. . I realized it in my last semester when I had to put
all-nighters before my exam just because I wasted my time earlier, whereas
my friend scored better grades than me because he was focused.
b. ………………………………..; there is no difference as long as a procrastinator
can manage time before their deadlines. I am a procrastinator myself, and I
always submit my assignments on time.
c. ………………………………..; being a chronic procrastinator has ruined my
university life, and now I'm struggling to get good grades. People who say
that organized students and procrastinators are the same probably have
everything planned out for them every day.

2 Choose one of the following ideas and give your opinion.

1. Students get easily distracted using social media in class.

2. I consider myself a procrastinator.

3. Students don’t always accept age diversity in the classroom because they prefer

to work with peers of their generation.
