Grammar Focus: Gerunds – As Subject A gerund can take on a variety of parts in a sentence: it can act as the subject of a sentence, as the object of a preposition, or as the object of a verb. Subject of a verb Here is an example sentence from Suzanne Collins’ The Hunger Games: Being in the woods is rejuvenating. Here, the prepositional phrase in the woods describes the gerund being. Together, the words form a gerund phrase (being in the woods) that acts as the subject of the sentence. What is rejuvenating? Being in the woods. As demonstrated in the example above, gerunds are often used as the subject of a sentence to talk about activities, behaviors, or opinions. Gerunds are always singular, and when they’re used as the subject of a sentence, the verb that follows always takes the third-person singular form. Examples of gerunds as the subject of a verb Exercising is good for your body. Exercising is a gerund that functions as the subject of the sentence. Is, the verb that follows, is in the third-person singular form. (Source: Thesaurus.com; https://www.thesaurus.com/e/grammar/whats-a-gerund/) 115

Preview: Read the article. Tickets, Please! by Lily Macbeth Ushers in theaters and concert halls around the world see performances and plays for free, and never have to wait in line for tickets. What is it like to be an usher? \"People often think that being an usher is an easy job, but it isn't,\" says Peter Sullivan, an usher at the Palladium Theater. \"It's difficult to stand so much! When I'm tired, I sit in an aisle seat during intermission, but my boss could fire me for that.\" 123
Ushers usually stand at the entrance to the auditorium. They give people programs look at their tickets, and show them their seats. Ushers must keep the audience quiet, especially after the curtain goes up. It isn't always easy. \"Last night one man was talking in a loud voice while the orchestra was playing,\" says Xavier Marcos. \"I told him to be quiet, but he didn't stop talking. Some people were very angry, but there was nothing I could do.\" Actors and musicians sometimes work as ushers, too. Samantha Page studies acting and is also an usher. \"I won't be an usher forever,\" she explains. \"I'm going to be famous one day. But I'll always remember beginning my career as an usher!\" Photo Credit: by Pixabay on Pexels) Exercise: Read the article again and do the tasks that follow. 1. What is the main idea in the article?

We use adverbs to add more information about a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a clause or a whole sentence and, less commonly, about a noun phrase We use some adverbs to describe how frequently we do an activity. These are called adverbs of frequency and include: Frequency Adverb of Frequency Example Sentence 100% always I always go to bed before 11 p.m. 90% usually I usually have cereal for breakfast. 80% normally / generally I normally go to the gym. 70% often / frequently I often surf the internet. 50% sometimes I sometimes forget my wife’s birthday. 30% occasionally I occasionally eat junk food. 10% seldom I seldom read the newspaper. 5% hardly ever / rarely I hardly ever drink alcohol. 0% never I never swim in the sea. 126
These are also known as Adverbs of INDEFINITE frequency as the exact frequency is not defined. The position of the adverb in a sentence An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except with To Be). Subject + adverb + main verb I always remember to do my homework. He normally gets good marks in exams. An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be. Subject + to be + adverb They are never pleased to see me. She isn’t usually bad tempered. When we use an auxiliary verb (have, will, must, might, could, would, can, etc.), the adverb is placed between the auxiliary and the main verb. This is also true for to be. Subject + auxiliary + adverb + main verb She can sometimes beat me in a race. I would hardly ever be unkind to someone. They might never see each other again. They could occasionally be hard laughing. We can also use the following adverbs at the start of a sentence: Usually, normally, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally • Occasionally, I like to eat Thai food. BUT we cannot use the following at the beginning of a sentence: Always, seldom, rarely, hardly, ever, never. 127
We use hardly ever and never with positive, not negative verbs: • She hardly ever comes to my parties. • They never say 'thank you'. We use ever in questions and negative statements: • Have you ever been to New Zealand? • I haven't ever been to Switzerland. (The same as 'I have never been Switzerland'). Adverbs of Definite Frequency We can also use the following expressions when we want to be more specific about the frequency: • every day • once a month • twice a year • four times a day • every other week • daily • monthly (Source: Woodward English; https://www.grammar.cl/Basic/Adverbs_Frequency.htm) 128

Grammar Focus: Gerunds – Gerund or Infinitive Verbs followed by a to-infinitive Some verbs can be followed immediately by a to-infinitive: afford demand like pretend agree fail love promise arrange forget manage refuse ask hate mean (=intend) remember begin help need start chose hope offer try continue intend plan want decide learn prefer Example: I can’t afford to go on holiday. It began to rain. She hopes to go to university next year. My mother never learnt to swim. Did you remember to ring Nigel? Verbs followed by -ing -ing but not to-infinitive Some verbs are normally followed by the -ing form, not the to-infinitive: admit deny finish mind avoid dislike give up miss (can’t) help enjoy imagine practise (can’t) stand fancy involve put off consider feel like keep (on) risk 130

There are many different kinds of formal style, and choice of grammar and vocabulary is important. Formal styles commonly contain few personal pronouns; noun phrases and the passive voice are commonly used. The more formal the style, the more likely it is that it will appear detached and impersonal. 132
Few personal pronouns Pronouns are replaced by impersonal constructions with it and there. Compare more personal more detached and impersonal We suggest that you leave the building It is suggested that you leave the after 8 pm. building after 8 pm. I should like to note a number of There are a number of things here. things here. Noun phrases Noun phrases, rather than verb phrases are common in detached impersonal styles. This process is sometimes called nominalisation. Compare more personal more detached and impersonal She will retire as company director in Her retirement as company director May next year. will be in May next year. Passive voice The passive voice is common in detached impersonal styles. It is also common in academic writing. The passive voice allows the writer to concentrate on processes, rather than on the actions of the human subject. Compare more personal more detached and impersonal In this book I discuss and analyse the In this book the literature of the 1990s literature of the 1990s. is discussed and analysed.

Unit 9 Saving Energy (Photo by Brina Blum on Unsplash; https://unsplash.com/photos/s5-NmxNA-7c) This unit is about saving energy. In this unit you will... • Become familiar with words and phrases related to the topic, and identify and use different conditional (if) sentences to talk about saving energy. • Learn and practice the comprehension strategy of making predictions, read an article about how to save energy at home and talk about what you do to save energy at home. • Watch a video about a mother and son discussing how to save energy in the home, and write a dialogue continuing the discussion. • Watch and take part in a video conversation about buying an appliance in an appliance store, and take part in a branching conversation about buying an electrical appliance in an appliance store. • Read an article about how people's movements can produce energy and write about a way of using movement to make energy. • Watch a slide show on renewable energy and summarize the lecture for a friend.
Vocabulary: Saving Energy This topic contains a list of words and phrases that you will use in this unit. Read the list and the example sentences. Do you know how to say these words? Listen to the recordings and practice saying the words. electrical appliance machine in the home that uses electricity (form of energy) n. to do a certain job The store sells many electrical appliances such as washing machines and dryers. electricity bill n. statement showing how much money you need to pay for the electricity you used (electricity - form of energy that powers machines) Jake, turn off the heat.

Blended Learning with EDO ใหผูเรียนฝกทักษะดานคําศัพท (Vocabulary) จากแบบฝกหัดและแบบทดสอบใน Lesson 1 (Saving Energy) ของ Unit 9 ในโปรแกรมฯ EDO ระดับ Basic 3 Grammar Focus: Conditionals We use conditional sentences to talk about probable or possible outcomes that are the result of other actions. Most conditional sentences use the word if, however, some also use when. In this unit we will learn about zero conditional and first conditional sentences. Condition clauses and result clauses A conditional sentence has two parts: the 'condition clause' (the action) and the 'result clause' (result of the action). In a conditional sentence the result clause can also come before the condition clause. The meaning stays the same. Zero conditionals We use zero conditionals to talk about an action that always has the same result. Zero conditionals talk about facts, things that are true all the time, and not just in one particular situation. • If you heat ice, it melts. • When you leave unused appliances plugged in, you waste energy. With zero conditionals, both clauses are in the Present Simple. 139
First conditionals We use first conditionals to talk about a specific action that will most likely happen. • If you install a solar panel, your electricity bills will be much lower. • When I need a new dryer, I will buy an energy efficient one. With first conditionals, the 'condition clause' is in the Present Simple and the 'result clause' is in the Future Simple (will + base verb). Condition Result When you leave the lights on all day, … you waste energy. If you install a solar panel, … your electricity bills will be much lower.

Grammar Focus: Predictions When we make a prediction, we use the information we have in a text to think about what the text is about or what is likely to happen next. We make predictions about what we read and hear by examining context clues like the title, subtitles, pictures, or certain information in a text. When you use clues like these, it is easier to understand what you will read or hear. Before you listen or read: Ask yourself these questions to help you predict what the text will be about: • What kind of text is this? Is it a newspaper article, an e-mail between friends, or a business letter? • What information do I expect from this kind of text? • What does the title of the text tell me? • What does the picture(s) tell me? After you finish listening or reading: Think about what might happen next and ask yourself the following questions: 1. What does the last sentence tell me? 2. What will the speakers do next? 3. What will the main characters do next? (Photo by Thomas Kolnowski on Unsplash; https://unsplash.com/photos/gqsY28obvH8) 141

Reading Skill Practice: Make Your Own Energy Preview: Read the article. People Power Imagine charging your cell phone by walking. This is actually already possible! Companies are finding ways to convert human movement into power. Objects in motion have a certain kind of energy. This energy is called kinetic energy. We can use kinetic energy to make power. [1] . One place where there is a lot of kinetic energy is the gym. At the gym, everyone is in motion. Some gyms decided to use this energy to create power. These gyms have special stationary bikes, treadmills, or other exercise machines. [2] . When people use these special machines, they turn a turbine. The turbine creates electricity. This electricity then helps power the gym. Right now, these gyms only get a small amount of their power from human movement. But as technology improves, this amount will grow. 145
Other places that use kinetic energy for power are train stations, airports and schools. [3] . There is a company that puts special tiles in the floor. The movement of people walking on these tiles makes energy. We can use this energy to power lights and to charge laptops and smartphones. Dancing also creates kinetic energy. Some dance clubs have special dance floors. When people dance, their energy lights up the floor; colorful lights flash on and off. [4] . Dance clubs hope that these special floors will soon make enough electricity to run the whole club. You never know where your energy can be used. So get up and get moving – all the power you need is right there in your feet!
