Cultural Note
• An ocean is normally bigger than a sea. For example we say the Pacific ocean, but we say the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea. In the U.S., when people go to the beach, they talk about the ocean but in other English-speaking countries they call it the sea, even if they are talking about the Atlantic Ocean, for example.
Reading: Understanding meaning from context
What can you do if you see a word you don’t know in English?
• Look in a dictionary• Use an online translation program• Ask a classmate• Ask the teacher
Which way is the easiest and the most reliable?
When you see a word you don’t know, use the context to help you figure out the meaning. Read the
words around the unfamiliar word. Think about the meaning of the sentence and decide what the
general meaning of the word might be.
CLIMATE CHANGEWhat do you know about climate change and what things can people do to help stop it?
A flyer is an announcementor adverstisement that is
printed on a sheet of paperand given to people.
Grammar: will and going to
We use will to make predictions about the future, but not to talk
about plans.For example: We cannot say I will learn English because I need it for my job. In this case we must use
going to.
We use will also to volunteer or express willingness.
When you volunteer to do something or express willingness,
I will usually contracts to I’ll. Example: I’ll do that. I’ll help you.The negative form of will is won’t.
We use going to to make predictions about the future and
also to talk about plans.
