Complete each pair of sentences with the same word do you

State Verbs

We can use the present continuous with some state verbs (attract,look,like,love, sound) to emphasise that a situation is temporary or for a period of time around the present. Compare:

• Stella stays with us quite often. The children love having her here.

• Stella’s with us at the moment. The children are loving having her here.

Some verbs have different meanings when they are used to talk about states and when they describe actions. With their ‘state’ meanings, they usually take simple rather than continuous forms. With their ‘action‘ meanings, they may take simple or continuous forms, depending on context. Compare:

• The app doesn’t appear to work on my phone. (appear: state = seem)

• Charley Robb is currently appearing in a musical on Broadway./ She often appears in musicals. (appear: action= take part)

Other verbs are: cost, expect, feel,have, imagine, think, fit, measure, weigh

Mental state verbs

With some verbs describing mental states (find, realise, regret, think, understand) we can use the present continuous to emphasise that we have recently started to think about something or that we are not sure about something. Compare:

• I regret that the company will have to be sold.

• I‘m regretting my decision to give her the job.

When it means ‘think carefully about‘, consider is only used with the present continuous:

• He‘s considering taking early retirement.

Some other verbs describing preferences and mental states (agree, believe, conclude, know, prefer) are rarely used with the present continuous.

• I believe you now.

Performatives

We use the present simple with verbs which perform the action they describe (=performatives):

• I suggest you park outside the city and get the bus to the centre.

• We request that you read the terms and conditions carefully before signing.

Other verbs are: acknowledge, admit, advise, apologise, beg, confess, forbid, deny, declare, guaratee, name, order, permit, predict, promise, refuse, remind, request, thank, warn

Some verbs used as performatives with the present simple in affirmative sentences (apologise, deny, promise, suggest) have a similiar meaning with either the present simple or present continuous in negative sentences:

• I don’t deny/ I’m not denying taking the books, but Michael said it would be okay.

Modals are often used with perfomatives to make what we say more tentative or polite:

• We would advise you to arrive two hours before the flight leaves.

• I must beg you to keep this a secret.

I liked other water sports like swimming and sailing. Rachel talked me into 4joining a children’s sailing club. We 5spent all our weekends there, even in winter. We did lots of sailing, and then Rachel thought we should try out rowing. I wasn’t sure about rowing at first, […] but my mum thought it was a good idea.

1 Autistic boy’s dream job as school basketball team manager 2 Autistic boy joins national basketball team 3 Autistic boy’s basketball dream becomes a reality √

It sounds like fantasy: an autistic schoolboy is brought onto the basketball court as a last minute substitute*, scores 20 points in four minutes and becomes a national hero. However, in February 2006 that is exactly what happened to 17-year-old Jason McElwain, from Rochester, New York. 1  D Jason has autism, a condition that makes communicating, socialising and reading other people’s feelings difficult. However, that did not prevent coach Jim Johnson from making him ‘manager’ of Greece Athena High School’s basketball team. Before that, apart from a  couple of minutes in a junior game in 2004, Jason’s autism had always stopped him from actually playing for the team. But on the evening of the annual ‘Senior Night’ game, which was held in the students’ final year of high school, the team’s coach gave J-Mac, as he is called, a shirt with the number 52 on the back, and told him he would let him play in the all-important game at some point.

the court on their shoulders. His teammate Rickey Wallace said: ‘I knew he could shoot, but I didn’t know he could score 20 points.’ Jason’s father, David McElwain, 51, said: ‘He was really happy on the way home. He didn’t sleep a lot that night.’ 3  A Jason’s sporting achievement was filmed, and by the evening, a video of him in action had already

2  E In the final few minutes, Jason was sent onto the court. When his teammates passed him the ball, Jason calmly aimed* and scored seven baskets* from 13 shots, scoring five points a minute and breaking school records. Athena beat their opponents Spencerport 7943. At the end of the game, spectators carried Jason off

gone viral*. Eventually, the video reached the television sports channel ESPN and Jason quickly became famous around the country. He received offers from celebrities, such as basketball hero Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson and TV star Oprah Winfrey, as well as film companies and publishers keen to tell his story. Jason even met the American President at the time, George W Bush, who presented him with a special award. 4  C Since 2006, Jason has graduated from high school and found part-time work with a well-known food store. He wrote a book, The Game of My Life which was published in 2008 and he now travels across the United States raising money for autism charities. He is also involved in public speaking, and is a talented runner. In September 2012, he completed his first marathon in 15th place, in only 3 hours, 1 minute and 41 seconds. With all the activity that is going on in his life, Jason admits that he hasn’t been playing as much basketball, but says: ‘Occasionally, I’ll go and shoot baskets.’

GLOSSARY

As soon as we go around the next bend, we will go past the point of no return. The water moves so fast that we will only be able to move in one direction – down the river towards the sea! As a break from my routine I chose to run around the hill rather than over it. It’s good to do something different once in a while. The referee sent off our best player for cheating. That was a decisive moment in the game. What a joke! The first step in becoming a professional athlete is to decide which specialisation to focus on. You can beat this boxer. He always repeats a sequence of punches after he moves back two steps. Watch! Left, left, right, left, right. It’s the same every time! It might be boring to do the same thing over but every successful tennis player knows it’s the only way to hit the ball perfectly with your racket. The fact that winning or losing isn’t important can really give you peace of mind and help you see the bigger picture. It’s simply a game and we’re playing for fun – so just enjoy it! This is the last phase of our yoga class this morning and then you can all go home. Take a deep breath, touch your toes and hold the position for three minutes.

You need pretty powerful (POWER) legs to be a professional long jumper. Don’t you find playing chess rather repetitive (REPEAT)? You do the same moves over and over again.

We were feeling quite tired after an hour or two in the kayak. By the end of the holiday, we had had enough of boats and water. My sister was complaining all the time. Last summer, my family and I went kayaking in Mazury. Unless you are really into kayaking, two days is probably long enough. We hadn’t done any training, so our arms really hurt. My kayak was full of water and I was freezing cold.

Aga_10k I started running in our local park about 18 months ago. Before I began, I bought some running shoes and a GPS watch so I could see how far I had run. 1At first it was pretty difficult and I couldn’t do more than about 3km. 2 After two or three weeks of running regularly, it started to get easier and 3by the end of the summer, I was running 10 kilometres three times a week. 4On the first day of the year, I went out for a ‘New Year’ run in the snow and ice. I was jogging along the road when I slipped and fell and broke my leg! It took more than six months to heal properly. It was really frustrating because I couldn’t do any exercise. But 5eventually, I was strong enough to start running again. I love running, but after my accident, I’ve decided not to go when there is snow and ice outside.

THE CHAMPION OF CHEESE

It’s one of the most unusual competitions in the UK, but every spring thousands of spectators gather at Cooper’s Hill in Gloucester to cheer 1on participants in the annual cheese rolling race. It’s a  dangerous way to burn calories 2off because the event basically involves throwing a  large circle of cheese down a hill, and then throwing yourself down after it. The first person to the bottom of the hill wins the 3prize – a large circle of Gloucester cheese! Chris Anderson, 29, from nearby Brockworth is the  current champion and has now equalled the record of 20 wins held by one person. Chris first 4 went in for the competition at the age of 16 and won his first race one year later. Next year he hopes to break the record and become the first person to win 21 races. If you fancy 5taking Chris on at cheese rolling, you’d better be quick – he is thinking of retiring soon. Plus, you should also know that Cooper’s Hill has an  angle of 70 degrees and the cheeses travel downhill at over 110 kilometres per hour!

I decided to 1miss / catch the bus to school because I was feeling too lazy to cycle 2 uphill / downhill like I usually did for my regular morning exercise.

We can save ten minutes on our walk to the centre if we take the shortcut across the field. There’s no road to get to my aunt’s house but we can use the dirt track if you drive slowly and don’t mind getting the car muddy. The Tibetan saint Thangtong Gyalpo built a suspension bridge with iron chains as early as 1433 in Bhutan. However, earlier designs using rope and wood were also used to cross rivers and valleys. The longest journey made by a cable car is 7,455 metres. It’s in China and goes from Zhangjiajie city centre to the top of Heaven’s Gate Mountain. If more people used public transport like buses and trams, there’d be less traffic on the roads and less pollution in the air. Sorry we’re late. It’s arush hour and there are always awful btraffic jams at this time of day. There’s a wonderful winding path through the forest. It turns left and right and then left and right again – all the way to the lake at the end.

I caught the train from Waterloo and got here as soon as I could. Marco Polo was the first westerner to cross the continent of Asia. In total, he travelled through the area for 24 years. We got stuck in traffic and that’s why we’re a little late. My school bag was so heavy this morning that I got a lift in the car from my mum. Janet missed the train and there isn’t another one until tomorrow morning. She’ll have to stay the night in a hotel. Before bridges existed, the only way to cross a valley was to climb down one side and then climb up the other.

My ‘Dream’ Holiday After studying hard and passing my exams I decided to 1 a holiday. I had been really stressed, so I wanted the kind of holiday where you lie in the sun and do nothing for a week.

To begin with, I 3 the train to Southampton. That meant I had to get a lift from my dad at the last minute, which was quite stressful for both of us.

I got seasick and began to worry that the ship might sink and go under water like the Titanic. When the ship finally made it back to Southampton, I was more stressed and nervous than when I had left. What a nightmare! I now wish I had just booked a cheap 6 to Egypt instead and spent a week lying on the beach doing nothing!

Well, my journey didn’t get off to a very good start as I lost my passport in Manchester Airport. I panicked, then found it where I was sitting earlier. How stupid! I hope this is not a bad sign for the rest of the trip. The plane was one of those new two-level ones and was really posh inside. It wasn’t even half full, so I lay across several seats and managed to get plenty of sleep. Arrived in Bangkok at 7:00 and feeling fresh but immediately had problems. My card didn’t work in any of the ATMs, so I panicked again until I realised that I was using the wrong pin number. Again, pretty stupid. Got a taxi to the hostel, which is great and full of young people like me. I’m writing this in the lounge area. Feeling excited, but also a bit nervous – not really sure how anything works here in Thailand. Please keep reading – hopefully, my travelling (and blogging) skills will improve soon …

Summer in Poland

Blogger: Alex

Yesterday I said bye to Mum and Dad and took the plane from Liverpool to Wrocław. My cousin Magda lives here (my English uncle is married to Kasia, my Polish aunt) and I was very glad to see them waiting for me at the airport. I’ve been to lots of places including Poland before with my parents, but this is my first trip alone and I don’t speak any Polish except ‘Jen dobree’ and ‘Jen kuya’. As you can see, I certainly can’t spell in Polish! Magda is really cool and she speaks brilliant English (thank goodness). It’s school holidays here too, so we’ve got lots of time to enjoy ourselves. My uncle and aunt are totally chilled, I’ve got my own room at their house and the tram stop is just outside. Freedom! Tonight we’re going to a party at Magda’s friend’s house. I’ll blog again tomorrow and tell you all about it … if I don’t sleep all day

Old York

After a fantastic fortnight studying English in beautiful York, it’s almost time to head back home to Budapest. Although it was sometimes difficult to find time each day, I reckon that writing this blog has really helped me improve my English. Tonight is the farewell party organised by the school, and all the students in my group will be there. I can’t get over how many people I’ve met from all over the world. Especially cool are Sonata from Lithuania, Marta from Poland and Nico from Italy. We’re definitely going to stay in touch and Marta even said she will come and visit me in Budapest. Despite a few problems with accommodation, which we eventually solved, it has been a great experience. I’ll miss everyone and I’ll even miss writing to you, my patient readers.

Gap year Young people choose to take a gap year for different reasons. Some want to 1cut themselves off from their family and home for a while in order to develop a greater sense of independence. Some view it as an opportunity to 2 challenge beliefs that may have become too familiar. Still others see it as a chance to 3 immerse oneself in a foreign culture and experience a different way of life. Whatever you reasons, don’t feel like you should give up your modern day comforts. Your smartphone is an invaluable gadget wherever you go, both for contacting people when you feel lonely or if needed in an emergency. And always carry your bank card with you – you never know when you might need to 4retrieve cash from an ATM in order to get hold of some local currency.

Hi Sam,

Hi Peter,

U OK? I’ve read that book you lent me. You’re right – it’s excellent! Unfortunately, however, I’m a bit sad at the moment . I hurt my back a few days ago and the doctor told me I need to stay in bed. Why is that bad? Because there’s a school trip to Marburg Castle this weekend and I planned to take photographs and write about it on my blog. Now I have to lie in bed and do nothing. I can’t read all the time – any ideas about what else I can do? Speak soon!

U OK? I’ve got that book you wanted to borrow. I’ll bring it tomorrow. I’m not feeling good today, in fact, I’m super stressed out . I haven’t even started revising for the final exams and I’m totally disorganised! I don’t know where to begin. Have you started? Have you got any advice or ideas to make revision easier?

Fires that happen in the home are a very serious problem today. In America, there are over 100,000 home fires every year and many start in the kitchen. There are a lot of things you can do to protect your house from fire.
First of all, you need to follow a few safety rules. You should never leave the kitchen while you are cooking. It’s also a bad idea to wear loose clothes when you cook. Always keep the cooking area clean and don’t let children come very close to the cooker.
It is also important to know what to do if a fire starts. If a pan catches fire, don’t throw water on it! Put a blanket over it and turn off the heat. If the fire doesn’t go out, call the fire brigade. If a fire starts inside the oven, keep the door shut and turn it off. If you burn yourself, run cold water over the burn.
Finally, install a smoke alarm and learn how to use it. Also, know the number of your fire brigade by heart. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

1. Nowadays, fires in the home aren’t very dangerous.
2. In America, there are more than 100,000 home fires a year.

5. You shouldn’t wear loose clothes when cooking.
6. You should keep your cooking area clean.

one of the main causes of stress not only at work, but at home as
well.

Another
major cause of stress at work today is increasing job insecurity.
People are afraid that they can lose their job. They don’t feel
that it’s safe. Moreover, working long hours is becoming more and
more common in all European countries. A typical family nowadays is a
working family where both the members have a job and spend most of
their time at their work place. It ruins the work-life balance of
people and results in family problems.

But
men and women deal with stress in different ways. Women are more
flexible and seem to cope with pressures better than men. Many
working women have double pressure on then because they have to look
after their children, work in the home- do the cooking and cleaning –
as well as work in a paying job. But the number of women who become
ill from stress seems to be less than men. This is because women have
a number of strategies to cope with stress. They can express their
emotions openly, which men find difficult to do. They can go to
somebody and talk about their problems. And in general women don’t
pretend that problems don’t exist.
