Let's go back to page 7. We did the conversation activity 1b on pages 100 and 106 in pairs.
4 Listening
a Let's go back to page 7. Let's listen to track 1.14 and find out what Charlotte thinks of Alexander. Does she want to see him again?
(She thinks he is much older than her and that they have a lot in common. She isn't interested in seeing him again because they have no chemistry.)
b Listen to track 1.14 again and write down adjectives to describe Alexander's personality.
(extrovert, funny, good sense of humour)
c Let's listen to track 1.15 and find out what Charlotte thinks of Oliver. Does she want to see him again? Listen to the track twice.
(She thinks he is very attractive and that they have a lot in common. She isn't interested in seeing him again because he smokes.)
d Listen to track 1.15 again and write down adjectives to describe Oliver's personality.
(warm, friendly, a bit shy, generous)
e Now go to page 118 and listen to both tracks again with the transcript to make sure you understand everything.
5 Pronunciation
Let's go back to page 7. We are going to practice the pronunciation of /s/, /z/ and /iz/.
Look at exercise 5a and listen to track 1.16. Try and repeat the sounds.
*Remember, we use /s/ after unvoiced consonants and /z/ after voiced consonants and vowels.
*The difference between these two sounds is very small.
*Para distinguir entre una consonante con voz y otra sin voz, coloca la mano sobre la garganta y prueba decir "cap"/"gap" o "dip"/"tip". Fíjate en como vibran las cuerdas vocales cuando dices la "g" o la "d" en estas palabras. Estas consonantes tienen voz.
*The important difference is the -es ending when pronounced. We pronounce it after ch, c, g, sh, s, z and x.
*Esta terminación es importante tanto en los verbos de 3ª persona singular del presente como en los plurales de los sustantivos.
b How do you say the he/she/it form of the following verbs and the plural of the nouns?
chooses /iz/
cooks /s/
goes /z/
lives /z/
stops /s/
teaches /iz/
boys /z/
classes /iz/
dates /s/
friends /z/
languages /iz/
parents /s/
Practice saying these words to help you distinguish between the different sounds, especially the /iz/ endning.
