Making Toasts

Intro            

You’re at a wedding, and it’s your turn to make a toast. You stand up, heart pounding and hands shaking. Why are you so nervous? These are close friends and family. No need to worry. They will love you no matter what you say. But when you open your mouth, nothing comes out!

It can be scary to deliver a speech in front of a group of people. What if you mess up? What if your phone rings? There’s a lot to think about. You have to pay attention to what you’re wearing, what you’re saying, and if you have food stuck in your teeth. Being under pressure and in the limelight is not for everyone.

Find out if Mason is ready for the challenge in this English lesson about speaking in public.

Dialogue: Reading and listenning

• Mason: Amanda, my best friend is getting married soon, and I’m going to have to make a pretty epic toast.
• Amanda: I am so envious right now. That is the best job to have at a wedding!
• Mason: Really?
• Amanda: It really is.
• Mason: I’m a little nervous about it. I’ve got to worry about the timing. Is it a long toast or a short toast? Do I deliver it funny or serious? Do I get sappy?
• Amanda: It’s really the only opportunity for someone other than the bride or groom to steal the limelight. Go for it!
• Mason: Now I can see why you like it.
• Amanda: Do you know your audience?
• Mason: I know my friend, so I can assume the kind of people he’d like to have there.
• Amanda: Just make sure it’s appropriate. Read the crowd. Little bit of humor. Don’t bring up exes.
• Mason: OK, that’s a good one.
• Amanda: Huge faux pas. Do you feel under pressure, or are you kind of chill about it?
• Mason: I feel... I’m definitely under pressure, but this is helping. What’s the one thing, if I don’t remember anything else, this is the tip?
• Amanda: Don’t write it. Go off the cuff.
• Mason: Bold move, madam.

Discussion

Mason has been asked to make a toast at his friend’s wedding. He knows it’s important, so he feels a little nervous. He hasn’t decided if he wants to have fun with it or take it more seriously. Mason asks Amanda for advice and she has quite a lot to say on the subject!

Amanda definitely has experience with making toasts. In fact, she thinks it’s the best responsibility to have at a wedding. Amanda tells Mason to pay attention to hisaudience. She suggests being funny and not talking about past relationships. Above everything else, Amanda says that Mason should be off the cuff and talk without reading a speech. To her, that’s what makes a toast great.

Have you ever given a toast in front of a big audience? How did it make you feel? Do you have advice for someone who needs to give a toast?

Grammar Point

Imperative Form

Amanda gives Mason a lot of advice, like “Read the crowd” and “Don’t bring up exes.” She uses the imperative form.

You can use the imperative form to give an order, a warning, or some advice. “Stop!” “Come here!” and “Look out!” are all examples of the imperative form.

To form the imperative, use the infinitive form of the verb without “to.” To make a negative imperative, put “do not” or “don’t” in front of the verb, as in, “Don’t touch that!”

The imperative is formed the same for all subjects (you, he, we, they), but you can include yourself in the imperative by adding “Let’s,” as in, “Let’s go for a swim.”

If you want to be more polite when using an imperative, just add “please.” For example, “Please leave me alone. I’m trying to learn English!”

Which is correct, “Give me a ride home,” or, “Can you give me a ride home”?

Quiz

1. Why does Amanda think that making toasts is great?
   •  She likes getting the attention.
   •  She likes to drink.
   •  She makes toast for breakfast every day.
   •  She likes to talk a lot.
2. What is Amanda’s big piece of advice for Mason?
   •  Don’t mess up.
   •  Drink before you speak.
   •  Don’t read your toast. Speak spontaneously.
   •  Skip the wedding.
3. Making rude jokes is an example of a __.
   •  epic
   •  audience
   •  limelight
   •  faux pas
4. Which sentence is not in the imperative form?
   •  Don’t look at me like that.
   •  I go to the library every day.
   •  Sweep the kitchen after dinner.
   •  Let’s swim in the ocean tonight!

ALICE IN WONDERLAND

Este es un "reading" para cuando tengas tiempo y te apetezca... como ya conoces el cuento, igual te es más fácil interpretar las palabras que no conozcas... Si no, ya sabes dónde estoy... Suerte!!

Down the Rabbit-Hole 

Part 1

Alice was beginning to get very tired of sitting by her sister on the bank, and of having nothing to do: once or twice she had peeped into the book her sister was reading, but it had no pictures or conversations in it, 'and what is the use of a book,' thought Alice 'without pictures or conversation?'

So she was considering in her own mind (as well as she could, for the hot day made her feel very sleepy and stupid), whether the pleasure of making a daisy-chain would be worth the trouble of getting up and picking the daisies, when suddenly a White Rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her.

There was nothing so very remarkable in that; nor did Alice think it so very much out of the way to hear the Rabbit say to itself, 'Oh dear! Oh dear! I shall be late!' (when she thought it over afterwards, it occurred to her that she ought to have wondered at this, but at the time it all seemed quite natural); but when the Rabbit actually took a watch out of its waistcoat-pocket, and looked at it, and then hurried on, Alice started to her feet, for it flashed across her mind that she had never before seen a rabbit with either a waistcoat-pocket, or a watch to take out of it, and burning with curiosity, she ran across the field after it, and fortunately was just in time to see it pop down a large rabbit-hole under the hedge.

In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.

The rabbit-hole went straight on like a tunnel for some way, and then dipped suddenly down, so suddenly that Alice had not a moment to think about stopping herself before she found herself falling down a very deep well.

Either the well was very deep, or she fell very slowly, for she had plenty of time as she went down to look about her and to wonder what was going to happen next. First, she tried to look down and make out what she was coming to, but it was too dark to see anything; then she looked at the sides of the well, and noticed that they were filled with cupboards and book-shelves; here and there she saw maps and pictures hung upon pegs. She took down a jar from one of the shelves as she passed; it was labelled 'ORANGE MARMALADE', but to her great disappointment it was empty: she did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it.

'Well!' thought Alice to herself, 'after such a fall as this, I shall think nothing of tumbling down stairs! How brave they'll all think me at home! Why, I wouldn't say anything about it, even if I fell off the top of the house!' (Which was very likely true.)

Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end! 'I wonder how many miles I've fallen by this time?' she said aloud. 'I must be getting somewhere near the centre of the earth. Let me see: that would be four thousand miles down, I think--' (for, you see, Alice had learnt several things of this sort in her lessons in the schoolroom, and though this was not a VERY good opportunity for showing off her knowledge, as there was no one to listen to her, still it was good practice to say it over) '--yes, that's about the right distance--but then I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I've got to?' (Alice had no idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but thought they were nice grand words to say.)

Presently she began again. 'I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it'll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think--' (she was rather glad there WAS no one listening, this time, as it didn't sound at all the right word) '--but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. Please, Ma'am, is this New Zealand or Australia?' (and she tried to curtsey as she spoke--fancy curtseying as you're falling through the air! Do you think you could manage it?) 'And what an ignorant little girl she'll think me for asking! No, it'll never do to ask: perhaps I shall see it written up somewhere.'

Part 2

Down, down, down. There was nothing else to do, so Alice soon began talking again. 'Dinah'll miss me very much to-night, I should think!' (Dinah was the cat.) 'I hope they'll remember her saucer of milk at tea-time. Dinah my dear! I wish you were down here with me! There are no mice in the air, I'm afraid, but you might catch a bat, and that's very like a mouse, you know. But do cats eat bats, I wonder?' And here Alice began to get rather sleepy, and went on saying to herself, in a dreamy sort of way, 'Do cats eat bats? Do cats eat bats?' and sometimes, 'Do bats eat cats?' for, you see, as she couldn't answer either question, it didn't much matter which way she put it. She felt that she was dozing off, and had just begun to dream that she was walking hand in hand with Dinah, and saying to her very earnestly, 'Now, Dinah, tell me the truth: did you ever eat a bat?' when suddenly, thump! thump! down she came upon a heap of sticks and dry leaves, and the fall was over.

Alice was not a bit hurt, and she jumped up on to her feet in a moment: she looked up, but it was all dark overhead; before her was another long passage, and the White Rabbit was still in sight, hurrying down it. There was not a moment to be lost: away went Alice like the wind, and was just in time to hear it say, as it turned a corner, 'Oh my ears and whiskers, how late it's getting!' She was close behind it when she turned the corner, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen: she found herself in a long, low hall, which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof.

There were doors all round the hall, but they were all locked; and when Alice had been all the way down one side and up the other, trying every door, she walked sadly down the middle, wondering how she was ever to get out again.

Suddenly she came upon a little three-legged table, all made of solid glass; there was nothing on it except a tiny golden key, and Alice's first thought was that it might belong to one of the doors of the hall; but, alas! either the locks were too large, or the key was too small, but at any rate it would not open any of them. However, on the second time round, she came upon a low curtain she had not noticed before, and behind it was a little door about fifteen inches high: she tried the little golden key in the lock, and to her great delight it fitted!

Alice opened the door and found that it led into a small passage, not much larger than a rat-hole: she knelt down and looked along the passage into the loveliest garden you ever saw. How she longed to get out of that dark hall, and wander about among those beds of bright flowers and those cool fountains, but she could not even get her head though the doorway; 'and even if my head would go through,' thought poor Alice, 'it would be of very little use without my shoulders. Oh, how I wish I could shut up like a telescope! I think I could, if I only know how to begin.' For, you see, so many out-of-the-way things had happened lately, that Alice had begun to think that very few things indeed were really impossible.

There seemed to be no use in waiting by the little door, so she went back to the table, half hoping she might find another key on it, or at any rate a book of rules for shutting people up like telescopes: this time she found a little bottle on it, ('which certainly was not here before,' said Alice,) and round the neck of the bottle was a paper label, with the words 'DRINK ME' beautifully printed on it in large letters.

Part 3

It was all very well to say 'Drink me,' but the wise little Alice was not going to do that in a hurry. 'No, I'll look first,' she said, 'and see whether it's marked "poison" or not'; for she had read several nice little histories about children who had got burnt, and eaten up by wild beasts and other unpleasant things, all because they would not remember the simple rules their friends had taught them: such as, that a red-hot poker will burn you if you hold it too long; and that if you cut your finger very deeply with a knife, it usually bleeds; and she had never forgotten that, if you drink much from a bottle marked 'poison,' it is almost certain to disagree with you, sooner or later.

However, this bottle was not marked 'poison,' so Alice ventured to taste it, and finding it very nice, (it had, in fact, a sort of mixed flavour of cherry-tart, custard, pine-apple, roast turkey, toffee, and hot buttered toast,) she very soon finished it off.

* * * * *

'What a curious feeling!' said Alice; 'I must be shutting up like a telescope.'

And so it was indeed: she was now only ten inches high, and her face brightened up at the thought that she was now the right size for going through the little door into that lovely garden. First, however, she waited for a few minutes to see if she was going to shrink any further: she felt a little nervous about this; 'for it might end, you know,' said Alice to herself, 'in my going out altogether, like a candle. I wonder what I should be like then?' And she tried to fancy what the flame of a candle is like after the candle is blown out, for she could not remember ever having seen such a thing.

After a while, finding that nothing more happened, she decided on going into the garden at once; but, alas for poor Alice! when she got to the door, she found she had forgotten the little golden key, and when she went back to the table for it, she found she could not possibly reach it: she could see it quite plainly through the glass, and she tried her best to climb up one of the legs of the table, but it was too slippery; and when she had tired herself out with trying, the poor little thing sat down and cried.

'Come, there's no use in crying like that!' said Alice to herself, rather sharply; 'I advise you to leave off this minute!' She generally gave herself very good advice, (though she very seldom followed it), and sometimes she scolded herself so severely as to bring tears into her eyes; and once she remembered trying to box her own ears for having cheated herself in a game of croquet she was playing against herself, for this curious child was very fond of pretending to be two people. 'But it's no use now,' thought poor Alice, 'to pretend to be two people! Why, there's hardly enough of me left to make ONE respectable person!'

Soon her eye fell on a little glass box that was lying under the table: she opened it, and found in it a very small cake, on which the words 'EAT ME' were beautifully marked in currants. 'Well, I'll eat it,' said Alice, 'and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door; so either way I'll get into the garden, and I don't care which happens!'

She ate a little bit, and said anxiously to herself, 'Which way? Which way?', holding her hand on the top of her head to feel which way it was growing, and she was quite surprised to find that she remained the same size: to be sure, this generally happens when one eats cake, but Alice had got so much into the way of expecting nothing but out-of-the-way things to happen, that it seemed quite dull and stupid for life to go on in the common way.

So she set to work, and very soon finished off the cake.

ZOMBIES's LESSON

Intro

Do you believe in the zombie apocalypse? Is it possible that one day, corpses will become reanimated and rise from their graves? Probably not, but it can be fun to imagine how you might react in a worst case scenario. What would you do if you were surrounded by zombies?

Zombies are famous for slowly lumbering down dark streets. Yet they still manage to catch people, which is what scares the pants off of movie lovers. Somehow slow-moving zombies trap people in their homes, afraid and unable to leave. Surely people can run faster than zombies, right? Not in zombie movies. That’s what makes them so entertaining!

Find out if Lily and Greta are ready for zombies in this English lesson about a popular movie monster.

Dialogue

• Greta: Lily, how do you think you would do in the zombie apocalypse
• 
  
• Lily: I don’t know. I think about it a lot, and really, it just makes me nervous because I don’t know how self-sufficientI would be in that situation. How about you?
• 
  
• Greta: I have thought about it in terms of which of my friends’ houses is the safest, and where to get the canned food, but there are certain things that I would really be struggling with. When corpses reanimated, dead people are coming at you… I don’t have a gun and I don’t know how to aim for the head, and all of those things that you see in the zombie movies. Where you have to get them in the head? I could not do that.
• 
  
• Lily: Zombies walk pretty slowly, don’t they? So you could just run away, right?
• 
  
• Greta: If you’re talking about the zombies that rise from the grave, they move slowly and they’re sort of lumbering with their arms out. But the zombies who have a virus that is transmitted through bite, they tend to run really fast.
• 
  
• Lily: There are just too many options. It all just scares the pants off of me. I can’t deal with it!

Discussion

Greta has been thinking a lot about what she would do in a zombie apocalypse. Maybe too much. She thinks about where she would hide, what she would eat and how she would kill zombies that are attacking her. She’s definitely prepared.

It’s clear that Lily hasn’t thought about it very much, and maybe would rather not. There are too many things to consider and worry about for Lily. She’s hoping that if zombies ever came to life, they would move so slowly that she could run from them. She prefers to believe that than to think about shooting monsters in the head.

Do you like to imagine a world with zombies? How would you stay alive? Is thinking about zombies fun and silly, or is it unhealthy to think that way?

Grammar Point

Second Conditional Progressive

Greta tells Lily that if the zombie apocalypse occured, shewould be struggling with a lot of things. She uses second conditional progressive tense.

Second conditional progressive is used to describe hypothetical (possible) situations in the present or future. You form second conditional progressive by using the present conditional of the verb to be (would be) + the present participle of the main verb + -ing. For example, “If I spoke Italian, I would be working in Italy.” Or, “If I wasn’t so hungry, I wouldn’t be eating this cake!”

In Greta’s example, she is guessing what might happen if there was a zombie apocalypse. She can’t know for sure because it hasn’t happened yet, but if it were to happen, she believes that things would be difficult for her.

Which is correct, “If we owned a car, we would be driving to Florida,” or, “If we own a car, we would be driving to Florida”?

Quiz

1. What is Greta most worried about if there’s a zombie apocalypse?
   
   •  She doesn’t have a gun.
   •  Zombies are fast.
   •  She’s afraid of running out of food.
   •  She’s afraid of being bitten.
2. How does Lily feel about zombies?
   
   •  Excited.
   •  Ready.
   •  Angry.
   •  Nervous.
3. Which word does not belong?
   
   •  Graves.
   •  Corpses.
   •  Hospital.
   •  Cemetery.
4. Which is the correct ending? If I was famous, __.
   
•  I would be buying cars for my family.
•  I will buy cars for my family.
•  I am buying cars for my family.
•  I can buy cars for my family.
