GRAMMAR REVISION
a) The Modal verbs “ought”, “should” or “must”, “have to” or “must”, “may”, “might”, “could”
Modal verbs express meanings such as necessity and possibi lity. We can use modal verbs to tell or allow people to do things; or we can use them to say how certain or uncertain we are.
Example: I have to go now.
You should answer the letter.
Now you are a tenth former. Remember what your school life was when you were smaller and compare it with high school. How have things changed for you?
Example: When I was small, my parents made me do lessons every day and didn’t let me hang out as much as I wanted. Now I may socialise with my friends much longer and sometimes they let me keep late hours.
b) Relative Clauses
A relative clause is a clause introduced by a relative pronoun like who or which.
Look at the pictures and say what TV programmes you enjoyed watching with your friends in summer. Why do you like them?
soap opera sport program
Example: I love TV programmes that give me a lot of food for thought. I remember one programme where a girl from our school was taking part. My friends and I enjoyed watching it and decided to participate in such a programme, too.
c) Questions for more information: will, be going to.
If the decision is accepted at the moment of speech, use will. If the decision is accepted earlier, use be going to.
..................................... 2. Sсhool: Now for It!
Example: How long will it take to get rid of the undesirable effect of global warming?
How are you going to support the environmental movement.
Read the article published in the ecological newspaper by an environmental activist Paul Radley. Write 5 possible questions you would like to ask Paul. Say what you will do, or are going to do, to help the animals.
Ever since true humans ap-peared on earth, they have lived in close association with animals. Time has come to protect them because pollution affects animals more than humans.
In fact, we have more conscious control over our environment. We can make choices about where to live or adjust the temperature of our houses and choose what to eat. Animals often become entangled with rubbish, which means that animals often get plastic or wire stuck in their jaws and cannot easily be set free. As a result, they cannot function properly and may
die. BrE /hauziz/
Besides, for many animals plac- AmE /hausiz/ es where they live have become dangerous. The food chain can be affected by pollution in the places where certain species have been living for many ye ars and are used to being fed on certain food. For example, if the fish were poisoned they would starve. This could make a shortage of food for the animals higher in the food chain. So, as you see, it could take years and years to get rid of such undesirable effects. It’s a really great problem and we should take decisive mea sures.
Interview your friends and find out:
- What new things they have learned this summer; - On what areas of learning they will focus this year; - What plans they have made for the future.
Report your findings to the class and say who you are with.
At home: Suppose you can’t decide on your future. Write a letter seeking advice to a youth magazine.

Yes - No -
2. Have you ever explored history through your family?
Yes - No -
3. Can you explain the sense of otherness?

GRAMMAR REVISION
Indirect questions, Wh-questions
1. To report another person’s YES / NO questions use IF / WHETHER after the reporting verb.
Example: — Have I seen you at the Collins’?
— She asked me if / whether she had seen me at the Collins’.
2. To report Wh-questions, use the question word:
Example: — Where did you go?
— He wanted to know where I had gone.
Don’t Forget!
-The word order in Indirect questions is the same as in statements and there is no do /does / did auxiliary.
Example: — Where does your brother work?
— She asked me where my brother worked.
-While reporting a question use common reporting verbs:
| |
- ask; - enquire; - want to know; - wonder; - question.
Example: — What is her father?
— She wanted to know what her father was.
-Don’t use a question mark in Indirect Questions.
NEW GRAMMAR
Embedded questions
1. If you want to express something to which we don’t know the answer, or ask politely for information, use EMBEDDED QU ESTIONS — questions that are included in another sentence but do not report another person’s words.
Example: Can you tell me if your mum is in?
2. Introduce embedded yes / no questions with if / whether.
Example: Do you know if she is still working?
3. Introduce embedded Wh-questions with a question word.
Example: My friend wonders how many sisters I have.
Don’t Forget!
-Use the statement word order in all embedded questions.
Example: Can you tell me where they live?
-Don’t use DO / DOES / DID in embedded questions.
Example: I don’t know when his friend came.
-Don’t leave out IF or WHETHER in embedded yes / no questions.
Example: Could you tell me if he will be at home at 6 p.m?
 |
-Use the question mark at the end of the embedded questions and the following common phrases:
| - I don’t know (understand) … | - I’d like to find out … |
| - I wonder … | - Do you know … ? |
| - I’m not sure … | - Can you tell me … ? |
| - I can’t remember … | - Would you show me … ? |
