Why do people travel?
I. Phonetic Training
1. Listen to the rhyme and repeat it after the speaker. Learn the rhyme by heart.
Never trouble trouble
Till trouble troubles you.
It only doubles trouble,
And troubles others too.
Solomon Grundy was born on Monday
Christed on Tuesday,
Married on Wednesday,
Fell ill on Thursday,
Died on Saturday,
Buried on Sunday,
That was the end of Solomon Grundy.
2. Read and learn tongue-twisters
a) Can you measure pleasure?
Pleasure is immeasurable.
If it were measurable
It wouldn’t be so pleasurable.
b) I thought a thought.
But the thought I thought wasn’t the thought I thought I thought.
If the thought I thought I thought had been the thought I thought,
I wouldn’t have thought so much.
3. Listen to the song. Learn it by heart and sing.
Pasadena
Karen and Alic Maywood
Come with me to Pasadena
Today at ten we will arrive
I have been in Pasadena
For a great deal of my life.
Come with me to Pasadena
If you want to have some fun
Watch the dancing seniorinas
In the heat of the sun.
When I woke up today
I heard someone say,
“Girl, it’s raining and
They’re expecting snow”
And this morning I knew
What I had to do
Take the next plane
And finally go.
Refrain:
Come with me to Pasadena
Today at ten we will arrive
I have been in Pasadena
For a great deal of my life.
Come with me to Pasadena
If you want to have some fun
Watch the dancing seniorinas
In the heat of the sun.
We are going to Greece
Take a trip to Paris
To escape from the
Stress and the strain
Saving money each day
There must be a way
To get out
In the gather again.
Refrain:
II. Grammar Revision Future Tenses
Future Simple обозначает факты и действия, относящиеся к будущему. Часто мы употребляем Future Simple, когда решение о выполнении действия, принято в момент речи.
Note: Мы употребляем сокращенную форму I’ll, he'll вместо I shall, he will.
E.g. I'll graduate from the Institute in 2012.
Did you phone Ruth? - Oh, no, I forgot. I'll phone her now.
Future Continuous обозначает действие, которое будет в развитии в определенный момент в будущем. Момент может быть обозначен другим действием или наречием (именно фразой).
E.g. 1) – Is it all right if I come at 8.30?
– No, I'll be watching the foot ball
At 10 o'clock tomorrow Sally will be working in her office.
When you come home I'll be passing by Newcastle on the train already.
Future Perfect употребляется для обозначения действия, которое завершится к какому-то моменту в будущем. Момент также может быть обозначен другим действием или наречной (именной) фразой.
E.g. We are late. The fill will already have started by the time we arrive at the cinema.
Next year Ted and Amy will have been married for 25 years.
Future Perfect Continuous употребляется для обозначения действия, которое предположительно будет длиться в течение какого-то периода времени в будущем и еще не закончится.
E.g. By 2010 I'll have been studying at the University for 3 years.
Note 1.
You remember that you can use Present Simple or Present Continuous to denote a future action. (See Unit ...).
You can also use the expression "to be going to" instead of the Future Tense. The difference is:
Present Continuous is used to denote a future action when it (future action) is planned, and it is likely to take place.
E.g. I can't come to the party. I'm meeting my mother at the station. (The action will not take place only if some emergency case occurs).
Present Simple is used to denote a future action if it (future action) is scheduled, or takes place according to the timetable.
E.g. The train arrives in Manchester at 9.00 a.m.
To be going to is used to denote a future action when we have already decided to do smth but it may not take place.
E.g. We decided to have a party. We are going to invite a lot of people.
Cf. We decided to have a party. We are inviting our Boss.
Note 2.
The expression "to be going to" is also used to denote future happenings (when smth is going to happen, because of the situation "now").
E.g. Look at those black clouds. It is going to rain.
I feel terrible. I think, I'm going to be sick.
It's so slippery. I'm going to fall
