We’re Living Faster, But Are We Living Better?

Read the text and do the activities that follow.

We’re Living Faster, But Are We Living Better?

Not long ago people believed that in the future we would work less, have more free time, and be more relaxed. But sadly this has not happened. Today we work harder, work longer hours, and are more stressed than ten years ago. We walk faster, talk faster, and sleep less than previous generations. And although we are obsessed with machines which save us time, we have less free time than our parents and grandparents had. But what is this doing

to our health? An American journalist James Gleick in a new book, Faster: the

acceleration of just about everything, says that people who live in cities are suffering from

‘hurry sickness’ – we are always trying to do more things in less time. As a result, our lives are more stressful. He says that if we don’t slow down, we won’t live as long as our parents. For most people, faster doesn’t mean better.

1 No time for the news

Newspaper articles today are shorter and the headlines are bigger. Most people don’t have enough time to read the articles, they only read the headlines! On TV and the radio, newsreaders speak more quickly than ten years ago.

2 No time for stories

In the USA there is a book called One-Minute Bedtime Stories for children. These are

shorter versions of traditional stories, specially written for ‘busy parents’ who want to save time!

5 No time for slow sports

In the USA the national sport, baseball, is not as popular as before it is a slow game and

</div>Trang 5<div class="page_container" data-page="5">

6 ...but more time in our cars

The only thing that is slower than before is the way we drive. Our cars are faster but the traffic is worse so we drive more slowly. We spend more time sitting in our cars, feeling stressed because we are worried that we won’t arrive on time. Experts predict that in ten years’ time the average speed on the road in cities will be 17 km/h.

Reading Skills

Identifying the Main Ideas of a Paragraph

A paragraph is a group of sentences about one main idea. Paragraphs usually have two types of sentences: a topic sentence and supporting sentences. The topic sentence contains the main idea. You can often find it in the first or second sentence of a paragraph.

Skiing is my favorite sport. I usually go skiing every weekend in the winter even though it is expensive. I love the feeling of flying down a mountain. The views are beautiful from the top of a mountain and along the trails. Even the danger of falling and getting hurt can’t keep me away from the slopes on a winter day.

Skiing is my favorite sport is the topic sentence which contains the main idea of the

paragraph.

Rules for finding the main idea:

Exercise 1.5. Read the following paragraphs and choose the best main idea.

1. _________________________________________ North Americans send cards for many occasions. They send cards to family and friends on birthdays and holidays. They also send thank-you cards, get well cards, graduation cards, and congratulation cards. It is very common to buy cards in stores and send them through the mail, but turning on the computer and sending cards over the Internet is also popular.

a. Sending cards is very popular in North America. b. Birthday cards are the most popular kind of card. c. It is important to send thank-you cards.

2. _________________________________________ First of all, we need money to repair old roads and build new roads. We also need more to pay teachers’ salaries and to pay for services such as trash collection. Finally, more tax money is needed to give financial help to the poor citizens of the city. It is clear that the city will have serious problems if taxes are not raised soon.

a. We should raise city taxes. b. City taxes are too high. c. City taxes pay for new roads.

</div>Trang 9<div class="page_container" data-page="9">

size and location. Finally, you must be sure to consider the university’s tuition to make sure you can afford to go to school there.

a. It is expensive to attend a university in the United States.

b. There are several factors to consider when you choose a university to attend. c. You should consider getting a good education.

4. _________________________________________ . For example, a person can have breakfast in New York, board an airplane, and have dinner in Paris. A businesswoman in London can instantly place an order with a factory in Hong Kong by sending a fax. Furthermore, a schoolboy in Tokyo can turn on a TV and watch a baseball game being played in Los Angeles.

a. Airplanes have changed our lives.

b. Advances in technology have made the world seem smaller. c. The fax machine was an important invention.

</div>Trang 10<div class="page_container" data-page="10">

Simple Present and Present Continuous

We use the present simple and present continuous differently. The main uses for each tense are:

British people like animals.

What are you doing this evening?

Exercise 1.13. Complete the dialogue. Use the present simple or present continuous

form of the verbs in brackets. Imogen

Thomas Imogen Thomas

Is Till at home?

No, she (1)...(play) volleyball at the park. Really? But Tilly (2)...(not like) sport. I (3)... (know) that. But she’s with friends.

</div>Trang 11<div class="page_container" data-page="11">

Imogen Thomas Imogen Thomas Imogen Thomas Imogen

He’s tall with dark blue tracksuit. Sorry. I (4) ...(not know) him. It doesn’t matter.

What (5)...you...(do) now? I (6)...(send) Tilly a text message.

(7)...you...(ask) her about William? No, I (8)...(tell) her a secret about him. William really (9)...(like) her.

PRONUNCIATION FOCUS

/i/ or /i:/

In English, /i/ is a short vowel and /i:/ is a long vowel. Short vowels have a much shorter

pronunciation than long vowel sounds. Short vowels produce only one sound and do not require the speaker to open his mouth very wide.

Exercise 1.14. Listen and repeat the words. (Track 1.3)

/i:/ he she me meet leave

SKILLS FOCUS

Drawing attention to main ideas

Main ideas are expressed in the topic sentence which is usually the first one in a talk or a presentation. The sentence containing main ideas is more general than the others.

To draw attention to the main ideas, we can use different expressions, for example:

The important point I want to make is... The important point to remember is... The main point to remember is... Our final point is...

It is important to consider...

Or the speaker can ask a rhetorical question related to the main idea, e.g. What do we mean

Exercise 1.15. Listen to the following talk and decide which its main idea is. (Track

B. ORGANIZE IDEAS

C. SPEAK

</div>Trang 13<div class="page_container" data-page="13">

The Present Continuous

Structure Subject + auxiliary verb + main verb S Be Verb + ing

Uses We use the Present Continuous to talk about:

1. Activities happening now

The kids are watching TV.

I am sitting down, because I am tired.

He isn’t learning German, because this is an English class. What are you writing?

2. Activities happening around now

Sally is studying hard for her exams this week. We aren’t working hard these days.

3. Activities happening in the near future, especially for planned future events

Polly is coming for dinner tomorrow. Are you doing anything tonight?

Mum Jim

Dad Mum

And what (4)...Gary and Sam...? (DO)

(6)...anything. (NOT DO)

Yes, I am. I (7)...the paper. (READ) Not any more!

Writing a Topic Sentence

The topic sentence is the most important sentence of a paragraph. It tells what the whole paragraph is about.

Summer is my favorite season. I enjoy summer sports like water skiing and baseball. The weather is usually sunny and hot, so I can go to the beach almost every day. Gardening is my hobby and I spend many summer days working in my garden. Unfortunately, the days pass too quickly in summer.

Summer is my favorite season is the topic sentence containing the main idea of the

paragraph

Steps in writing a topic sentence:

you have to say?

your topic sentence is a complete one.

Exercise 1.7. Write the topic sentences for the following paragraphs:

1___________________________________________________ . He has collected stamps and coins ever since he was a child. He is very proud of his valuable collections.

Color Matters for What You Wear

Read the text and do the activities that follow.

Color Matters for What You Wear

Clothes are like a second skin. Most likely you feel good when you wear your favorite color. What happens when someone sees you wearing any color - for example blue? Does the color send a message?

What do you think about pink and blue for children?

What do you think about pink and blue in the pictures below?

One of the most common examples of color symbolism in clothing is the custom of using pink for girls and blue for boys, but it wasn't always this way. This tradition

it was best suited for boys; blue was more delicate and dainty and best for girls. In 1921, the Women's Institute for Domestic Science in Pennsylvania endorsed pink for boys, blue for girls.

Even more interesting is the fact that pink is the color for baby boys and blue is the color for baby girls in Belgium today.

Another interesting fact about pink is that pink is a very masculine color in Bermuda. Also, British bankers and barristers have worn pink shirts for decades. Pink goes in and out of fashion in other parts of the world. White is the traditional color for a bride's wedding gown in the U.S. and most European cultures. White symbolizes purity and innocence.

What about the color worn for weddings and funerals?

In Asia, white is the color of death. This arises from the belief that death is seen as a beginning and that white

</div>Trang 22<div class="page_container" data-page="22">

next life. Therefore, brides in Japan and China wear red in traditional wedding ceremonies.

White is also associated with death in India, where widows wear white. Consequently, red or pink saris are the most popular colors for brides.

What about black clothes?

Black symbolizes death and is the traditional color of mourning in Western cultures. Black clothing is associated with powerful forces in many parts of the world. Bad and good Witches, the devil, ninjas, cat burglars, Darth Vader, Cat Woman, and Batman wear black....and so do priests, nuns, judges, mimes, Mennonites, Bedouins, and monks.

Maybe the common thread is that these people are signaling their seriousness of purpose - or the need to be hard to see - or both.

Here's something else to think about: What happens when the same people wear green? Are they as powerful? Are the priest and nun as respectable?

Predicting

Predicting means to know or tell beforehand what will happen.

In Listening, Predicting is very important. It helps listeners guess what they are going to hear or what will happen next. Predicting can be done at pre-listening, while-listening and post-listening; any time when we need to guess what will happen next. In order to make a prediction, the listeners try to answer the questions related to the topic they are going to listen.

When you are listening about tigers, you might ask questions like these:

What do I know about tigers? What do they look like? Where do they live?

Etiquette

Read the texts and do the activities that follow.

Text 1 Bad manners at work

Etiquette is the name we give to the rules for being polite in a social group. Business

etiquette is important for people who often have to make new contacts and build

relationships in their work. Politeness can also help to improve the working environment for people in the same office. Some cultures and situations are formal,

which means that we have to follow rules; other cultures and situations are more

informal.

Text 2 Office workers “admit being rude”

Most office workers say they are rude or bad-mannered at work. Two out of three workers regularly arrive late for meetings, most ignore emails and three out of four use bad language. In a survey of 1,000 workers, two-thirds say that pressure of work is the reason for bad manners.

Other common examples of bad office etiquette include ignoring colleagues and answering mobile phone calls during meetings. Using mobile phones in meetings is impolite and distracts others, research by the University of Surrey shows. If you respond to call when speaking to somebody, it means that the phone call is more important than the person, the survey said. If you answer a call during a meeting, it could mean that the meeting is not important.

Mr Jacobs, managing director of Office Angels, a recruitment firm say it is easy for people to forget their manners in the working environment, which is often very informal and very busy. Workers can forget proper etiquette such as introducing people at meetings, and this is often bad for working relationships.

Psychologist Dr Colin Gill believes that people are not as polite as they were twenty years ago. He said: ‘Courtesy is no longer something that is so much respected in our society.’ People think it is ‘stuffy to be polite or formal.’

Now some organisations are actually investing money in training their junior managers to be polite. Office Angels is encouraging people to arrive on time for meetings, turn off mobile phones and avoid bad manners at work is such a simple thing to do,’ Mr Jacobs says, ‘ and it can have a dramatic impact on improving your
