Prep Anglia Exam - San Luis

24t^h April

Hello there!

How is it going?

I hope you’re all had a great week!

Let’s get started!

Essay writing

Complete the activities on page 25 from Step To.

 The word ‘outweigh’ is extremely useful when giving a balanced assessment of the pros and cons of something. It is used in the essay introduction on page 25, although it is more often seen in conclusions.

While this can be a stressful and expensive experience, I strongly believe that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

 ‘The benefits of _____________outweigh the drawbacks.’

‘The drawbacks of _____________outweigh the benefits.’

Now it’s time to begin with UNIT 3

Speaking

On page 26 you will find several multinational brands.

Please, send me a voice note on Whatsapp telling me all you know about them. Use activity 2) Discussion as a guide.

GRAMMAR

INVERSION

We use inversion in several different situations in English. Inversion just means putting the verb before the subject. We usually do it in question forms:

-       Normal sentence: You are tired. - The subject is ‘you’. It’s before the verb ‘are’

      Question form: Are you tired?    - The verb ‘are’ is before the subject ‘you’. They have  changed places. This is called ‘inversion’.

We also sometimes use inversion in other cases, when we are not making a question:

When we use a negative adverb or adverb phrase at the beginning of the sentence.

Usually, we put the expression at the beginning of the sentence to emphasise what we’re saying.

         I have seldom heard such a beautiful voice. (Seldom)

Seldom have I heard such a beautiful voice. [Adverb + auxiliary verb + subject + main verb]

This sentence emphasizes what beautiful voice it is

I have never had such bad service. (Never)

Never have I had such bad service.

He is mean and (he’s) (also) dishonest. (Not only)

Not only is he mean, but he’s also dishonest.

I have never seen such heavy rain before. (Never)

Never before have I seen such heavy rain.

She didn’t find out that he was a criminal until later. (Only later)

Only later did she find out that he was a criminal.

We had hardly walked in the door when the phone started ringing. (Hardly)

Hardly had we walked in the door when the phone started ringing.

Note:

As soon as we went to bed, the phone rang. (No sooner) – Past simple

No sooner had we gone to bed(,) than the phone rang. – Past perfect

As soon as we left, it started to rain. (No sooner) – Past simple

No sooner had we left, than it started to rain. – Past perfect

He didn’t consider giving up at any time. (At no time) – Negative sentence
