READING
I. Read the email and choose the correct option (A–C) to complete the sentences.
Dear Mum and Dad,
I'm writing this email because I've got some important news to tell you. I'm getting
married! Isn't that great?
It all happened last night. We were having dinner in a very nice Italian restaurant when
Jake suddenly became all quiet and said he had something to tell me. He looked so
serious that I was afraid he was going to break up with me or tell me he had a terrible
illness, but then he took a little black box out of his pocket and put it in front of me. I
opened it and inside was an engagement ring and he just said, 'Will you marry me?' I was
so excited that I didn't even stop to think about it and replied, 'Yes, of course I will, silly!'
And I put the ring on my finger. So there we were, engaged!
Then we spent the rest of the evening making plans. Can we have the wedding at your
house? You've got such a big, beautiful garden that it'll be perfect. We are going to wait
until after my final exams in June and I thought a good day would be 10 th July. That gives
us eight months to plan everything. It should be enough time, especially as we don't want
a big traditional white wedding, just a big party with our best friends and family. We're
not going to start a family straight away because I need to get my career going, and I
might even decide to stay on at university and do a master's, but before we do that, we're
going to travel round the world for a year. Jake can take a career break for that time; his
office has already said it's OK. It's so exciting!
Anyway, I have to get to class now. I'll phone you tomorrow.
Your loving daughter,
Lucy

When we moved to our new house near the sea, I was eight years old. Even before that I had
spent every summer messing about on boats. My dad had taught me to sail before I learnt to
ride a bike so I knew how I wanted to spend my time at the new house- I was going to get my
own boat and sail it every day. The house was only a few metres from the water’s edge, and in
rough weather the waves would come crashing into the front garden. I used to sit with my
nose pressed to the glass, fascinated by the power of the ocean. I grew up watching the skies
to see if it was going to rain; would I be going sailing that afternoon or not?
Of course I sometimes wished I could live in the town like my friends. I used to get irritated
with my parents, who had taken early retirement because they seemed incapable of getting
anywhere on time. Dad drove me the eight miles to school every day, but I was often late

because he had been walking on the cliffs earlier in the morning and had lost track of time.
When I was taking my university entrance exams, I used to stay over at a friend’s in town,
just in case. All in all, I was lucky to grow up by the sea and I still love to sail.

UNIT 8
GRAMMAR
DEFINING RELATIVE CLAUSES
Use who, which, that, whose, where and when to introduce defining relative clauses. These
clauses give us essential information about people, things, possessions, places or a time.
• Use who for people: He’s an actor who makes science-fiction films.

• Use which for things: I only watch films which make me laugh.
• Use whose for possessions: That’s the actor whose new film we saw last week.
• Use where for a place: That’s the town where we met.
• Use when for a time: He wouldn’t answer the phone one day when she called him.
You can also use that for people or things instead of who or which:
It isn’t the same girlfriend that he brought last year.
It isn’t the same girlfriend who he brought last year.
1. Complete the sentences with a relative pronoun. Do not use that
1. That is the man ……who…………..won lots of money.

3. Home is a place where ……………………………………………………………….
4. I usually read books which ……………………………………………………………..
5 ……………………………….……is a singer whose music I really like.
ZERO AND FIRST CONDITIONAL
1. Zero conditional
If present simple, present simple
You use if or when with the present simple followed by the present simple in the main clause
to talk about facts and things which are generally true:

If it’s sunny, we go to the beach.
When it’s sunny, we go to the beach.
If it rains, we stay at home.
When it rains, we stay at home.
2. First conditional
If present simple, will + verb infinitive
You can also use if with the present simple to talk about a possible future situation or action.
You use will / won’t in the main clause to talk about the result of that situation or action:
If it’s sunny tomorrow, we’ll go to the beach.
Note that you use if with the present simple, not will, to talk about the future.
(do not say If it will be sunny tomorrow, we’ll go to the beach.)
You can also use the present simple to talk about the future after time conjunctions.
3. Position of if
You can use if in two possible positions.
• if-clause first: If it rains, we’ll stay at home.
• main clause first: We’ll stay at home if it rains.
When the if-clause is at the beginning of the sentence, you use a comma to separate it from
the main clause.
If it’s sunny, we’ll go to the beach.
4. if or when?
When you talk about things that are generally true, you can use if or when. There’s no
difference.
If it’s sunny / When it’s sunny... If it rains / When it rains...
When you talk about situations in the future, there is a difference between if and when.
If I see Jim, I’ll let him know. (You don’t know if you’re going to see Jim, but you know it’s a
15


possibility.)
When I see Jim, I’ll let him know. (You know you are definitely going to see Jim.)

unless
5. unless = if … not

READING
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer A,B, C or D to each question.
Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs was an important leader in the technology industry. He was a very interesting
person and was the leader of a very successful technology company called Apple.
He founded Apple in 1976 with his friends and they began to sell computers. One of the
reasons for Steve Jobs’ success was his unique management style.
He was a passionate leader with a clear vision for his company. Jobs always said he wanted
to make Apple a great company that made unique products that people would love. He
focused all of his creative energy on developing revolutionary technology. In 1983, he
convinced John Sculley, the president of Pepsi, to come work at Apple by asking, “Do you
17


want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want a chance to change
the world?” Sculley left his well-paid job to come work at Apple.
Unfortunately, Jobs’ passion sometimes led to angry outbursts. He was a perfectionist and
wanted Apple to make products that were better and different from other companies. Some
people believe he was too aggressive and demanding. During the early years of Apple, he
often shouted at or even fired people who did not share his vision. Despite this, most
employees did not hate him. They understood that Jobs truly believed in the company and its
products. He was a very demanding person because he had a real passion for
making unique devices like the iPad and the iPhone. These products might not exist if Jobs
hadn’t pushed and inspired his employees to work hard and be creative.

institutes, professional secondary schools, and vocational schools which offer degrees or

universities, accounting for 11% of the total number of universities. These non-public
