- If we move to online classes (which we probably will):
- - Classes will be taught through Zoom.
- website: https://zoom.us/ - If you have a computer, that’s the best option.
- apps: search for “zoom” or “zoom cloud meetings”
- - You can register for a free account from the website or the app
- - I will send an invite link to your email.
- - The first time you click on a link from a computer, it will ask you to install the Zoom software on the computer.
- - If you click on the link from your phone, you should open it in the Zoom app.
- - The first number in the link is the Meeting ID, and after we start I will also send the 6-digit password you can use to join manually from the app, if the link doesn’t work for you.
- This will be a learning experience for everyone. We will try to figure out any technical problems together.

- p. 118 part 2 - Listen to the TV preview show and match the beginning and end of each sentence.
- 1 The Bionic Woman was a TV series in which the character was part machine and part human.
- 2 The documentary is about a woman whose arm was amputated.
- 3 Doctors have developed a process which grows new organs.
- 4 Amanda Kitts is learning to do things that we take for granted.
- 5 Bionics can help people who have lost limbs.
- 6 There’ll be a time when blind people will use bionic devices to see.
- things we take for granted = things we are so used to having or doing that we never think about them
- (Especially to talk about things someone else might not have.)
- bionic = biology/biological + electronic
- limbs = arms and/or legs

- Grammar: defining relative clauses
- The second halves of the sentences are defining relative clauses.
- clause = a group of words with a subject and verb
- relative clause = a clause whose meaning is relative to another noun in the sentence
- (Starts with a relative pronoun like “that” or “whose”)
- defining relative clause = a relative clause that gives necessary information about the noun
- (Without this information, we don’t know which noun(s) the sentence is about.)
- defining: All of my students who do their homework are great.
- = Some of my students do their homework, and those students are great.
- (The relative clause tells you which specific students I’m talking about.)
- non-defining: All of my students, who do their homework, are great.
- = All of my students do their homework, and all of my students are great.
- (The relative clause just gives extra information about my students, and could be removed.)
- ---
- Relative Pronouns:
- who = a person or people, especially the subject of the clause
- (whom = a person or people, as the object of the clause, if we’re being formal)
- whose = a person (or thing), when we’re talking about a possession
- which = a thing or things
- that = person/people or thing(s), if it’s NOT after a preposition or a comma
- when = a time
- where = a place
- why = a reason (and often we can eliminate “why”: That’s the reason why I did it.)
- Note: We can remove “that” IF it’s not the subject of the relative clause
- ----
- p. 119 part 7 - Write the correct relative pronouns to complete each clause.
- ---
- BREAK
- ---
- 1 who/that
- 2 who/that
- 3 which/that
- 4 when
- 5 where (or “to which” or “which...attached to”)
- 6 whose (It is the limbs’ movement, so use possessive.)
- ---
- One way to check or figure out the correct relative pronoun is to put the informaion in a separate sentence with a “normal” personal pronoun:
- 1 They are deaf. -> who/that
- 2 They are waiting for a transplant. -> who/that
- 3 It can receive signals from the brain. -> which/that
- 4 Then bionics was an idea from science fiction.
- OR: Bionics was an idea from science fiction then. -> when
- 5 The bionic limb is attached there. -> where
- The bionic limb is attached to it. -> to which
- 6 Their movement mimics the body’s natural steps. -> whose

- Parts 9 and 10 - make sure you understand all this vocabulary, and in particular the differences between the options in part 9
- 1 “injured” is correct. “wounded” is more common for victims of violence. (Also sometimes “wound” refers specifically to injuries that go through the skin, such as cuts.)
- 2 heal - this is what injuries do on their own
- (“treat” is what we (or doctors) do to an injury or condition)
- 3 appointment - this is for formal businesslike arrangements
- (“dates” are social, usually romantic)
- 4 cure = fix an illness or condition completely
- 5 hurt - this is usually the verb
- (pain is usually the noun)
- 6 treatment - this is the noun for “treat”, which is what you or doctors do for a condition
- side effect = an effect from a treatment that is not what it’s intended for
- 7 monitoring - watching carefully
- (You can control something specific, like the dosage of a medicine, but you can’t control someone’s condition.)
- 8 painful - this is physical
- (hurtful - this is emotional)
- part 10 (Can you use relative clauses to explain these?)
- Surgery is a treatment where the doctor cuts into the patient’s body.
- (It could be to fix something, remove something, or add something.)
- A surgeon is the doctor who does surgery.
- An operating room is the room where surgeons do surgery.
- Stitches are threads used to sew a cut together to help it heal.
- A donor is someone who gives blood or a body part.
- A ward is part of a hospital where the same type of patient is treated (e.g. maternity ward), and typically where patients can stay overnight or longer.

- p. 120 lesson B
- Would you move to Mars if you had the chance? Why or why not?
- If no, then at which stage in the picture would you change your mind?

- Grammar: second conditional = present/future unreal conditional
- “If I had a lot of money, I would buy a house.” - I don’t have a lot of money, so I won’t buy a house.
- if + [past without “was”], subj + would/could/might + base form
- subj + would/could/might + base form + if + [past without “was”]
- - If you’re sure about it, use “would”.
- - If you’re unsure but it’s a possible choice, use “might”.
- - If you’re talking about ability, use “could”.
- (If it’s not a choice, “could” and “might” are the same.)
- We often say only the result clause (not the if-clause) if the condition is obvious or understood:
- With a million dollars, I would buy a house. = If I had a million dollars, I would…
- I would call the police. = I would call the police if I were you.
- “would” is the standard option - Most second-conditional sentences use “would”.
- Use “might” if you’re emphasizing that you’re unsure.
- Use “could” if you’re emphasizing that in reality you can’t do something.
- ---

- 3 wouldn’t have, didn’t need
- 4 Would you live, had
- 5 liked, would go
- 6 Could humans change, wanted (I’m asking if it’s even possible, because maybe we can’t.)
- 7 had, would...take
- 8 were, would rest
