Situation : Advice to a friend who has just bought a new dress for an important occasion. It is too tight for her, the style is too young and the color too harsh. Your dress looks expensive and nice but I'm afraid it is too tight and might make you feel uncomfortable. You're wearing dress it for an important occasion but do you think that its design is suitable for such a formal occasion? Yes, the colour will be wonderful to walk on the beach but as you see you are attending a conference. Why don't you ask for your mother/husband's opinions? Why don't you have a try and decide if you should return it to the store? Lesson 36 : THE LANGUAGE OF ARGUMENT Composition : "If you can get a free ride from on public transport, good luck to you!". What do you think of this attitude and why? The speaker of this saying perhaps wants to take advantage of free service. He does not care much for others but for himself/herself. He seems selfish in the sense that he does not appreciate public services. He probably thinks that public means something that belongs to everyone and public things can be taken for granted without showing any positive attitudes towards those who serve him.

"Homes are dangerous places". Discuss You probably disagree with this saying as homes are usually sweet places but sometimes they are dangerous for small children as their parents are away. Electrical shock or drowning can easily happen. Falling form high places such as stairs, chairs, tables also causes pain for the children. Lesson 40 : INTERPRETING PRINTED INSTRUCTIONS Composition : How to make a call : A : Excuse me! B : Yes? A : Can you show me how to make a phone call? I'm a stranger here. B : Sure. First of all, lift up the receiver and listen for a continuous purring. 22
  5. A : OK. Should I put in a coin right away? B : No, now you have to dial the number or the code and the number that you want to call. A : And the next step?

When he came home, he found that thieves had broken into his house. They'd messed up the bedroom and eaten up all the food in the kitchen and closed up the curtains in the living room. They'd blown up the safe in the study and stolen all the money he'd saved by giving up smoking. He rang up the police, who came immediately. "Did you lock up the house when you went away?" asked the detective. "Definitely," replied Mr. Jones. The detective went out into the garden. "Ah," he shouted. "They climbed up a tree and got in through the bathroom window. You must have left it open." He found a cigarette end and wrapped it up in a piece of paper. "Next time you go away," he said, "be sure you close the house up properly." Talking points : What advice would you give to someone who's just taken up English? practise every day read aloud learn new words use the words you have just learned be patient it takes time to learn a language Lesson 42 : PHRASAL VERBS (2) It is difficult to learn all the phrasal verbs in English as they do not follow any regulations.

He may prescribe you some cold medicine. You need good rest when having a cold. 2. "All medicines and medical treatment should be free." Discuss. Medicines and medical treatment usually cost much ; however, patients sometimes do not have enough money to pay. What should they do in this case? Free medicines perhaps, save more lives of the poor people as they need help from us. It is the dream of everyone to gel free medical treatment but where can we get money to pay doctors, nurses and technicians? How can we have money to produce medicines? So, in my opinions, the poor can get free medicines and medial treatment but others have to pay. Lesson 46 : AILMENTS Use of English : A : Rewrite the sentences; 24
