1A. READING Read and listen the following article as you check your pronunciation SCIENTISTS DEVELOP PILL TO REPLACE EXERCISE US researchers say they have developed a pill that makes you fit without exercising. Scientists at California's Salk Institute for Biological Studies tested a new drug on genetically engineered marathon mice that could run non-stop for hours. They then developed a pill that could reproduce the positive effects of the running. Researcher Professor Ronald Evans said the pill helps cells burn fat quicker and at the same time boosts energy levels. The new discovery could benefit those who do not get the recommended 40 minutes of exercise per day. Professor Evans said: "If you're out of shape, and most of us areyou have to do some exercise.If there was a way to mimic exercise, it would make the quality of exercise [we] have much more efficient." Fitness experts are unconvinced by the new discovery. They say there is no substitute for real exercise and a balanced, healthy diet. However, it seems there would be enormous appeal for a pill that does away with the need for strenuous workouts or sweating it out jogging. If the effects can be reproduced in humans, it could become one of sciences biggest money-spinners. It could additionally reduce a large number of diseases related to obesity and seriously cut the number of hospital patients. Scientists also say such a medicine could be used to treat muscle-wasting diseases. The pills are still in the experimental stage and the researchers are not working with any drug manufacturer. READING COMPREHENSION EXERCISES 1. TRUE / FALSE: Look at the articles headline and guess whether these sentences are true (T) or false (F): a. Scientists have developed an exercise pill that could make us all fit. T / F b. Laboratory mice were able to run without stopping for a very long time. c. Scientists say jogging and other exercise will be a thing of the past. d. The pill will increase the efficiency of any exercise we do. e. Fitness specialists are very excited about the new discovery. f. The pill could make its developers extremely rich. g. There could be fewer people staying in hospitals because of the pill.

The most common frequency adverbs in English are: Always Frequently Usually Often Sometimes Occasionally Seldom / Hardly ever Rarely Never EVER Note: The percentages here are rough estimates only.

A. If the sentence has one verb (e.g. no auxiliary verb) put the adverb in the middle of the sentence after the subject and before the verb. Examples Tom usually goes to work by car. Janet never flies. She always goes by bus.
B. Adverbs of frequency come after the verb 'be': Examples I am never late for work. Peter is often at school. C. If the sentence has more than one verb (e.g. auxiliary verb), put the adverb of frequency before the main verb. Examples She doesnt always eat spaghetti. Marcus and Karol can usually stay after class Fundacin Aliarse Centro de Idiomas Module 1 Page 65

Half of Europes citizens are bilingual

Residents of the European Union (EU) are becoming better and better at languages. Almost 50 percent of the EU population say they can speak at least one foreign language very well. That figure rises to nearly 80 percent for students. To celebrate its linguistic diversity, September 26 has become the official European Day of Languages. The days website shows a Slovak proverb that says: The number of languages you speak is the number of times you are human. This is to encourage all Europeans to brush up on their language skills. The results of the Eurobarometer survey put Luxembourgers at the top of the language ability list. An amazing 99 percent of Luxembourgs population is at least bilingual. Those with the poorest language skills are the Hungarians (29 percent) and British (30 percent). English is the most widely spoken foreign language, used by more than a third of the population. German (12 percent) is in second place followed by French (11 percent). European enlargement means Russian has risen to fourth place tied with Spanish. The EU spends $36 million a year on language programs. READING COMPREHENSION EXERCISES LANGUAGE OPINIONS: Do you agree with these opinions on language? Talk about them with your partner(s). a. If the whole world learned English, thered be fewer communication problems. b. To be successful in the world, its now better to learn Chinese. c. English should become the official world language. d.

TELLING THE TIME

What time is it? Explanation There are two common ways of telling the time. Formal but easier way Say the hours first and then the minutes. Example: 7:45 - seven forty-five For minutes 01 through 09, you can pronounce the '0' as oh. Example: 11:06 - eleven (oh) six More popular way Say the minutes first and then the hours. Use past and the preceding hour for minutes 01 through 30. Use to and the forthcoming hour for minutes 31 through 59, but . Example: 7.15 - fifteen minutes past seven Example: 7.45 - fifteen minutes to eight Another possibility of saying '15 minutes past' is: a quarter past Another possibility of saying '15 minutes to' is: a quarter to Fundacin Aliarse Centro de Idiomas Module 1 Page 73
Another possibility of saying '30 minutes past' is: half past Example: 5:30 - half past five Use o'clock only at the full hour. Example: 7:00 - seven o'clock (but 7:10 - ten past seven) For times around midnight or midday you can use the expressions midnight or midday / noon instead of the number 12. 00:00 - midnight 12:00 - midday or noon Example: 3:15 - a quarter past three in the morning OR a quarter past three at night More formal expressions to indicate whether a time is before noon or after are a.m. (also: am - ante meridiem, before noon) and p.m. (also: pm - post meridiem, after noon). Use these expression only with the formal way of telling the time. Example: 3:15 - three fifteen a.m. It is not usual to use a.m. and p.m. with past/to. Example: 3:15 - fifteen minutes past three OR a quarter past three EXERCISES Visit the following website and practice. http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks2/maths/time/index.htm Write the time next to the digital clock
