“Houses Around the World”Directions: Read the passage. Then answer questions about the passage below.

Do you live in a house? You might be surprised to learn that there are many, many kinds of houses. Most people in the United States are used to houses made of wood or bricks. But many people around the world live in houses made of grass, dirt, or cloth.In the Great Rift Valley of Eritrea, the nomadic people who are in the Atr tribe build their houses of straw. Their houses are shaped like domes – half spheres. The homes are small and cool. The people can move their houses when they want to move. Since the people are nomads, they move often. They take their animals to new places in order to find food.People who belong to the Uros tribe of Lake Titicaca, Peru build their houses of reeds. Not only that –– they also live on islands that are made of reeds! Their boats are made of reeds too! About 2,000 people live on these man–made islands. They started to build their own islands about 500 years ago.In Andalusia, in the south of Spain, some people live in underground houses. This kind of house is called a cueba. During the winter, the houses stay warm. During the summer, the houses stay cool.In Sana’a, Yemen, some people live in tall houses made of bricks. These bricks are made of clay, straw, and soil. The bricks last many years –– maybe as long as 500 years. The modern houses in Sana’a

Page 8: Intermedio1 module 6 (1) (1)

are made to look like the older, traditional houses, but they are made of concrete instead of bricks.In Mindanao in the Philippines, some people still live in tree houses. The tree houses are made of bamboo with grass roofs. The houses are good lookouts for snakes and wild animals. The air is cool and the houses stay dry. Now, most people use these tree houses as meeting places.The fishermen of Sabah, Malaysia build their houses on the water. They use wood from mangrove trees. This wood stays strong in the water. The houses receive official addresses from the government.Fujian, China has many townhouses that are made of hard–packed soil. The dirt becomes as strong as brick when it is packed hard. One large family group lives in a townhouse. The townhouses were built around 300 years ago. A group of townhouses is protected by a thick dirt–packed wall.In the Gobi Desert in Mongolia, some nomadic people live in homes called gels. These homes are made of cloth. The cloth is filled with animal hair. Two poles in the center of the house hold the house up. The people move often to find food for their animals. The houses are easy to move and set up.Some American Indians live in teepees. These homes are made of cloth or buffalo hide. There are wooden poles used to hold the teepee up. Now some people use teepees only for special ceremonies, but people used to live in them all the time.The traditional houses of Chitos, Greece, are made of stone. They have arched doorways and indoor courtyards. They have outdoor dining rooms which are decorated with tile and rock. This means they are ornamented, and made to look more beautiful.The Dayak people of Indonesia build some of their houses on stilts, several feet above the ground. The frame of the house is made of iron. The walls are made of tree bark. The floors are made of wooden planks which are placed side by side. The houses are decorated with pictures of water snakes and rhinoceros birds. These animals are part of the people’s story of creation, or how the world wasmade.People build their houses to fit the needs of their lives. The houses are different, but one thing isthe same wherever you go. There’s no place like home!

f) Listening: The cat that walked by himself – Poem by Rudyard Kipling

http://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/en/stories/cat-that-walked-himself

Page 12: Intermedio1 module 6 (1) (1)

Joseph Rudyard Kipling (30 December 1865 – 18 January 1936) was an English short-story writer, poet, and novelist. He is chiefly remembered for his tales and poems of British soldiers in India and his tales for children. He was born in Bombay, British India, and was taken by his family to England when he was five years old. Kipling is best known for his works of fiction, including The Jungle Book (a collection of stories which includes "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi"), Just So Stories (1902), Kim (1901) (a tale of adventure), many short stories, including "The Man Who Would Be King" (1888); and his poems, including "Mandalay" (1890), "Gunga Din" (1890), "The White Man's Burden" (1899), and "If—" (1910). He is regarded as a major "innovator in the art of the short story"; his children's books are enduring classics of children's literature.

Kipling was one of the most popular writers in England, in both prose and verse, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1907, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first English-language writer to receive the prize, and to date he remains its youngest recipient.

Kipling's subsequent reputation has changed according to the political and social climate of the age and the resulting contrasting views about him continued for much of the 20th century. George Orwell called him a "prophet of British imperialism". Literary critic Douglas Kerr wrote: "He [Kipling] is still an author who can inspire passionate disagreement and his place in literary and cultural history is far from settled. But as the age of the European empires recedes, he is recognised as an incomparable, if controversial, interpreter of how empire was experienced. That, and an increasing recognition of his extraordinary narrative gifts, make him a force to be reckoned with."

- ........... does the bus come? Every 20 minutes

f) Expressing warnings

A warning means giving information of the danger or unexpected situation that may happen if a person does something. When we see a snake, for example, we may shout: "Watch out!" It means we advise them to be careful.

A warning is usually in the imperative, but we may use the modals"must" and "should" or say “I would....” “I wouldn’t...”

Expression of warning :

- You should/should not_______________

- You must/must not___________________

- Don't_______________________________!

- Beware!

- Beware of___________________________

- Look out!

- Watch out!

- Watch out for_______________________!

Here are other examples:

Page 15: Intermedio1 module 6 (1) (1)

1. Your little sister wants to cross the busy street. Then you warn her to cross carefully by saying,"Mind the traffic!"

2. There is a long wire connected to the computer. At present you are using your computer and your little brother is playing a toy car behind the computer. You see what he is doing and warm,"Dont touch the wire!"

3. There is blackout in the neighbourhood. A father lights a lantern and puts it on the table. His son is amazed and plays with the lantern. When the father sees, he warns,"Keep away from the fire!" or "Don't play with the lantern!"

4. You are walking on the pavement with your friends in the rain. Suddenly you see a big hole on the pavement. You want your friends by pointing at the hole and saying,"Look out!"

5. In the zoo, many cages of wild animals are applied with a warning board saying,"Beware of the wild animals!"

- Write two sentences to express warnings or advice using the imperative or would:

1 You should be careful at night.

2 It’s not a good idea to go there in the summer.

3 Hiring a guide is recommendable.

4 Rush hour is not a good time to drive.

5 You shouldn’t take a taxi!

j) Listening: A trip to London

Page 16: Intermedio1 module 6 (1) (1)

http://esl.about.com/library/listening/bllis_trip_to_London.htm

k) Reading Comprehension: Brighton

Brighton is a place that you really should visit. People started coming here in

large numbers back in the 1780s, when it first became a fashionable seaside

resort, largely thanks to the fact that the future King George IV passed most of

his free time here. It was he who built the Royal Pavilion, that beautifully

strange building which resembles the Taj Majal in India - odd indeed for the

centre of Brighton! In 1849 the government decided to sell it, and Brighton

Council successfully persuaded the government to sell it to them for £53000.

Now it is used for weddings, gala dinners and various business and education

seminars. It's open to the public, too.

When the railway between London and Brighton opened in 1841, suddenly

masses of people from London could quickly and cheaply get to the coast for

the day. This is what really led to Brighton's growth. It was in this period that

the piers were built, those constructions which went from the promenade into

the sea and on which there were restaurants and amusement arcades. They

remain to this day popular tourist attractions.

Brighton beach is not the most beautiful in England but it has a certain charm.

It's a pebble beach so it's not even particularly comfortable to lay on. There

are often concerts and festivals on the beach and they are always full and very

atmospheric. If you don't like the beach you can visit the marina, one of the

largest in Europe, or go shopping in The Lanes. This is a series of small

characteristic streets just off the seafront that follow the original layout of the

ancient town. This is where you find the trendy shops, bars and restaurants.

Brighton is also the destination for a number of 'London to Brighton' events.

Probably the most famous is the Vintage Car rally. It started in 1930 and

features some of the oldest cars in the country. In 2005 over 400 cars took

Page 17: Intermedio1 module 6 (1) (1)

part. There is also a charity cycle ride which regularly attracts 30,000 cyclists

and even a 'super-marathon' which starts at Westminster Bridge in London and

finishes on the seafront of Brighton - over 54 miles in total! The winner usually

finishes in under 6 hours.

But if you don't want to drive, cycle or run around the city you can just have a

good time enjoying a typical British seaside town by day, and a lively

fashionable centre by night as there are restaurants, bars and clubs to suit all tastes.

UNIT 6 – FIRST IMPRESSIONS

b) Expressing possession: double genitive

The combination of the preposition of and a possessive form--either a noun ending in -'s or a possessive pronoun--is called a double genitive (or double possessive). And

Page 20: Intermedio1 module 6 (1) (1)

while it may appear overly possessive, the construction has been around for centuries and it's perfectly correct.

British novelist Henry Fielding used the double genitive in A Journey From This World to the Next (1749):

At seven years old I was carried into France . . . , where I lived with a person of quality, who was an acquaintance of my father's.

You'll also find it in Anne Brontë's second (and final) novel:

Shortly after, they both came up, and she introduced him as Mr. Huntingdon, the son of a late friend of my uncle's.(The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, 1848)

American writer Stephen Crane slipped a double genitive into one of his short stories:

"Oh, just a toy of the child's," explained the mother. "She's grown so fond of it, she loves it so."("The Stove," in Whilomville Stories, 1900)

And in a recent novel, author Bil Wright doubled up on the construction:

He'd already proved he was a liar. And he had a girlfriend even though he wasn't divorced. No, not a monster. But definitely an enemy of my mother's and mine.(When the Black Girl Sings, Simon and Schuster, 2008)

As these examples demonstrate, the double genitive is generally used for emphasis or clarification when the "possessor" is human.

3Game in which, in its simplest form, the player who is "it" chases the other players,trying to

touch one of them, thereby making that person "it."

4 Game in which one or more participants jump over a rope swung so that it passes under their feet and over their heads.

Hope and Wish (by Rick Shur)

We use the verb hope when something is very possible.

We use the verb wish about impossible things or things that are not likely to happen (things that you don't really expect to happen.)

Page 34: Intermedio1 module 6 (1) (1)

Hope

To say what you hope about the past, you use the simple past:

I hope she found the restaurant.

I hope he passed his class last semester.

To say what you hope about the present, you use the present:

I hope he's all right.

I hope he knows where the clinic is.

I hope he's having a good time in Florida.

I hope he likes Italian food.

To say what you hope about the future, you use the present (or the future, although it is less common):

I hope he has a good time in Florida next month.

(I hope he'll have a good time in Florida next month.)

I hope she comes to see us when she passes through New York.

(I hope she'll come to see us when she passes through New York.)

Wish

To say what you wish about the past, you use the past perfect:

I wish I had passed my ESL class last semester! (You didn't pass.)

I wish she had given me her phone number. (She didn't give it to you.)

To say what you wish about the present, you use the past:

I wish I had a good job. (You have a bad job now.)

I wish I had a million dollars. (You don't have a lot of money.)

I wish I knew how to speak Japanese. (You can't speak it.)

Page 35: Intermedio1 module 6 (1) (1)

I wish I could type. (You can't type.)

I wish I were a good dancer. (You're a bad dancer.)

I wish she were nicer to me. (She's not nice to you.)

(Note! We use were for all subjects when we use wish.)

To say what you wish about the future, you use would:

I wish Clinton would do more to help the poor.

I wish you would quit smoking soon.

(Note! If you think there is a chance that something can happen, use hope, not wish: To say, "I hope Clinton does something about healthcare soon" means that you think there is a strong possibility that he will.)
