  7. 2 Speaking and reading b Read the article again and fill in the spaces with the names of the correct rooms. c In pairs, describe and discuss a room you really like in your own house or a relative’s or friend’s house.

Then quickly read the excerpt from an interior design textbook to check your answers.
  8. 3 Word builder: multi-word verbs 4 There are tools all over the floor. Put them away before you go to bed. 5 They gave away their old car. 6 We should take down that old bathroom mirror. 7 I turned the water off. 8 The candle went out. 9 How do you put up with the mess in John’s bedroom? 10 The decorator’s car broke down so he won’t be coming today. a Read the sentences and underline the multi-word verbs. In pairs, discuss the meanings of the multiword verbs. Use a dictionary if necessary. The first three have been underlined for you. 1 I’ll take care of your apartment while you’re away. 2 Prices of houses and apartments do not often go down. 3 I wish the neighbors would turn their TV down.
  9. b Complete these sentences using multi-word verbs from exercise 3a. Some of the verbs are in a different tense. 1 The cost of wallpaper has (1) _____________ a lot recently. 2 I’m not going to (2) ______________ this horrible furniture a minute longer. 3 If you (3) _________ things (4) _______ when you finish with them, your room will stay neat. 4 Please (5) _______ the TV (6) _______! I can’t hear myself think!
  10. Phrasal Verbs and other multi-word verbs Phrasal verbs are part of a large group of verbs called "multi-word verbs". Phrasal verbs and other multi-word verbs are an important part of the English language. Multi-word verbs, including phrasal verbs, are very common, especially in spoken English. A multi-word verb is a verb like "pick up", "turn on" or "get on with". For convenience, many people refer to all multi-word verbs as phrasal verbs. These verbs consist of a basic verb + another word or words. The other word(s) can be prepositions and/or adverbs. The two or three words that make up multi-word verbs form a short "phrase" - which is why these verbs are often all called "phrasal verbs". The important thing to remember is that a multi-word verb is still a verb. "Get" is a verb. "Get up", is also a verb, a different verb. "Get" and "get up" are two different verbs. They do not have the same meaning. So you should treat each multi-word verb as a separate verb, and learn it like any other verb. Look at these examples. You can see that there are three types of multi-word verb:
  11. Multi-word verbs The plane has now taken off. Look at these pictures. He thinks he can get away with everything.
  12. Multi-word verbs …are multi-word combinations that comprise relatively idiomatic units and function like single verbs. 3 main types: Phrasal verbs: verb + adverb particle Prepositional verbs: verb + preposition Phrasal-prepositional verbs: verb + particle + preposition
  13. passives—present, past, future, and modal
  14. Street scenes
  15. 1 Listening and speaking a In pairs or groups, compare the two scenes above. What are the similarities and the differences between them?
  16. b Listen to two people talking about where they live. Decide which of the areas in the photographs they live in, and list the things in the area they mention. Compare your answers in pairs.
  17. Used to
  18. I was asked on Pal Talk recently how to use used to and would. If we say something used to happen we are talking about repeatedeventsand actions in the past, usually things that happened a long time ago and are now finished. To express this we can use either used to or would. When I was young I used to play with my dolls. = When I was young I would play with my dolls. Of course I no longer play with dolls! We used to go out a lot in the summer. Implies that we no longer go out much. If you want to talk about repeated states or habits in the past, you must use used
  19. to, you cannot use would : : My dog used to bark at cats. I used to smoke. I used to be an administrative assistant. I used to live in England. You should use 'use to' without a d in sentences when it follows 'did'or'didn't' (don't worry too much about this because lots of people get it wrong). The question form is ‘Did you use to…?'. When asking a closed question you put did/didn't in front of the subject followed by use to, you cannot use would. Did you use to go out with my sister? Did they use to own the company? Didn't we use to go to the same school?
  20. Also when asking questions about states in the past you cannot usewould. What sort of things did you use to like when you were young? . In the negative you cannot use would without a change in meaning. I didn't use to play with my dolls. If I said I wouldn't play with my dolls. It would mean I refused to play with my dolls. We didn't use to go out much in the winter months. If I said we wouldn't go out much. It would mean we refused to go out much. !Note - The general rule is when there is did or didn't in the sentence, we say use to (without d) when there is no did or didn't in the sentence, we say used to (with d).
  21. My grandfather and his friends used to play with marbles
  22. They used to play hide and seek
  23. He used tolisten to the radio
  24. They used to travel by horse

  26. 3 Speaking and reading a Read the article and match the photograph to one of the paragraphs. Which country was the photograph taken in? Guess the names of the other three places.
  27. b Imagine you are going on vacation to one of the places in the article. In pairs, discuss what you could do in each of the countries. Decide which country you would like to visit most.
  28. 4 Speaking and writing 1 Who is going to read what you write? a local people b young people c tourists 2 What style of writing are you going to use? a a very formal style b an informative style c an academic style a Imagine you have been asked to write a paragraph for a tourist brochure describing a typical street in your town or city. In pairs, discuss these questions.
  29. b In pairs, make notes to answer these questions. 1 What might you see? 2 What might people be doing? 3 What kinds of buildings might you find? 4 What did the area use to be like? 5 How might you feel looking at the street scene? .
  30. c Write your paragraph. Look at the article for more ideas. When you have finished, swap, and compare paragraphs with a partner

  32. 2 Timesharing Have you ever heard of timesharing vacations? Yes? No? What do you know about them? Discuss the question. Then, read the article quickly and check your answer.
  33. Until timesharing came about, most Americans used to have only two main alternatives for taking vacations: rent a hotel room with constantly increasing rates, reservation hassles, and none of the comforts of home or own a resort home or condominium which costs a lot of money and which you would probably use only a couple of weeks a year.
  34. But that has changed with a new type of business— timeshares. With timeshare ownership, you arrange to buy a vacation home and sell 51 weeks of the year to 51 other owners. This means that everyone involved can afford a nicer place as the cost is divided between lots of people. Annual expenses are much less because they are shared and the apartment is occupied all year, which also reduces costs.
  35. With another form of timeshare, clients buy a week for life in a resort. They and their families can use this during the lifetime of the owner. The timesharer pays maintenance costs and utilities (water, electricity, and telephone). With some companies, the timesharercan exchange his or her week for a week in another resort, or even rent the week out if he or she doesn’t want to use it.
  36. 3 Clinching a sale Listen to the conversation between Ben Brown of Worldwide Vacations and Mr. Turner, a client, and answer the following questions. 1 Where did the client see the information about the timeshare? 2 Who have the Turners talked to?
