Please take 20 minutes to finish the Placement Test.

Don’t guess. If you don’t know an answer or haven’t finished the test, leave that question blank.

Part of this test is fluency. That means that sometimes more than one answer may be correct, we are looking for the answer that a native speaker would typically use.

At the end of the test, write down what you think your score will be. If you are correct, you will be given two extra points.

Part 5 – will and ‘ll Review: pages 169 and 171

Don’t use will if the situation you are talking about is happening now. You can use will for…

predictions (預測 )In the future, Americans will learn Chinese.Workers will need to able to speak English to earn a

high salary.sudden decisions (臨時決定 )

The teacher’s sick today? Cool! I’ll just stay in bed and sleep. I think I have diarrhea. I’ll need to run to the bathroom.

offers (提議 ) and promises (承諾 )I will let you copy my homework if you take me to a

movie.I will always love you, baby. No really, I will. I promise!

sentences with if that will come true (real conditionals)If I wake up early, I will go jogging.If you don’t breathe, you will die.

* special note: if you are talking about something that probably won’t happen or really isn’t true, you usually use would instead:

If I won US$10,000,000, I would travel the world.If I were Jeremy Lin, I would kick Kobe Bryant’s butt.

Let’s check – will or simple present?

Work with a partner. Choose the correct answer for the following: A: What’s the problem?B: I (will have / have / has) a problem with my computer.

A: My printer isn’t working.B: Bring it to the store and (I’ll have / I have / I’m having) a look at it.

A: It’s really urgent.B: Don’t worry. I (start / will start / have start) on it right away.

Part 7: Verbs with back

This one’s easy. Back can go with many verbs. Just remember the following:

send (ob) back go back phone (ob) back put (ob) backbring (ob) back be back write (ob) backcome back

The phrases above with (ob) are transitive. That means that you can put the object of the sentence in between the verb and back. You don’t have to, but you can if you want.

Example: That dress makes your butt look fat. You should put it back.You shouldn’t wear that dress. It should be put back .

The phrases without (ob) are intransitive. They shouldn’t be split.

Example:Good: The teacher said I have to go back to my seat.Bad: The teacher said I have to go my seat back.

1. bring (it) back 2. phone (you) back 3. come back 4. send

(them) back5. be back 6. go back 7. put (the files) back 8. write backPart 8: Use will to practice making decisions, offers and promises with
