part 2
1 Diane van Deren
2 Yukon Arctic Ultra
3 February 2009
4 400 miles
5 at least 11 days (“On the eleventh day…”)
6 frozen fruit and nut bars
1 John Dau
2 Sudan, Ethiopia
3 started in 1987
4 1000 miles
5 14 years (1987 to 2001, “the end of a journey that had taken him more than half of his life”)
6 grass and mud
part 5
1 Diane: After brain surgery, she found she could run without stopping.
  John: He was running from soldiers sent to destroy his village.
2 Diane: choice, John: necessity
3 Diane: first woman to finish the race
  John: survived and had the opportunity for an education
4 Diane: She demonstrated that women can do the Yukon Arctic Ultra, which is an inspiration to others.
  John: He took care of many younger children.
part 6
1 Diane - she had a choice and could refuse something (John couldn’t have refused)
2 Diane - John wouldn’t have said this because he was also thinking about hundreds of children.
3 John - his life was very difficult, and he had many impossible things, Diane had one serious problem (epilepsy and brain surgery), so she probably wouldn’t have said this
4 both - Both of them did very difficult things without giving up.

perhaps = maybe
bare = exposed or uncovered
	(barefoot = without shoes or socks)
beneath = below/under/underneath
---
p. 117 - What are the people doing? Where?
Marathon des Sables - 250km, 6-day race through the desert in Morocco
---
DEsert - the noun for the dry place with sand
deSERT - the verb for leaving some place (where we get the adjective deSERTed)
desSERT - the noun for the food you eat after your meal
---
A normal marathon is 42.195 km, an ultramarathon is a running race longer than that.
---
p. 117 part 3 - Discuss the questions with your partner.
---
p. 118 - “The bionic woman”
bionic = bio + electronic

Why does the woman in the picture have a bionic arm?
---
p. 119 part 7 - Complete the phrases with “who”, “which”, “that”, “where”, “when”, or “whose”
1 who - because it’s about people
2 who - because it’s about people
3 which - because it’s about something inanimate
4 when - because it’s about time
5 where - because it’s about a location
6 whose - because it’s possessive (it’s the limbs’ movement -> their movement)

That’s the kind of tree whose leaves look like hands. (okay - it’s the tree’s leaves)
*Whose leaves look like hands? (this question is about a person who owns some leaves, not a tree)
Which tree’s leaves look like hands? (this is the correct way to ask the question)
---
In 1, 2, and 3, we can also use “that”, because it isn’t after a comma or a preposition. (It’s a little informal for people, but sometimes considered more correct for things.)

Different options for location:
the bone where the limb is attached
the bone to which the limb is attached
the bone which the limb is attached to
the bone that the limb is attached to
the bone the limb is attached to - “that” can be removed if it isn’t the subject

Grammar: defining relative clauses
- clause = a group of words with a subject and verb
- relative clause = a clause that has meaning relative to another word (usually a noun, so these are also called adjective clauses)
- defining relative clause = a relative clause that gives essential (or defining) information about the noun

I like all of my students who do their homework every week.
- the relative clause gives defining information, so I’m only talking about those students who do their homework and saying nothing about the other students (we also call these restrictive clauses, because they restrict the group of things or people I’m talking about)

I like all of my students, who do their homework every week.
- the relative clause doesn’t give defining information, so I like all of my students (also, all of them do their homework every week)
---
p. 119 part 10 - use defining relative clauses to explain your group’s six words

BREAK

p. 120 - Would you like to live on Mars if you had the opportunity? Why or why not?
If I didn’t have any friends or family here, I would go.
If I had no friends or family here, I would go.
If my friends and family came/went with me, I would go.
If they came with me, I might go, but six months with just my family might be too much.


Grammar: second conditional = present/future unreal conditional
	(present/future - because it’s about situations now or in the future)
	(unreal - because it’s about situations that aren’t real or aren’t expected)

form:
	if + [past without “was”], subject + would/could/might + base form
(formally, we say, “If I were you,” instead of, “If I was you”.)
---
If I had a million dollars, I would buy a house. (This is definitely what I want to do with that money.)
If I had a million dollars, I might buy a house. (This is maybe what I would do, but I’m not sure about my choice.)
If I had a million dollars, I could buy a house. (I would have the ability to do this. This sentence tells you nothing about my own choice.)
---
p. 121 part 10 - Complete the questions with the correct forms of the verbs. Then look for the answers in the text on p. 120.
1 had, would be
2 would it take (we don’t need the if-clause to make unreal statements or questions like this)
3 Would it be
4 would happen, melted
5 would...change, increased
6 could we learn
---
Second conditional for advice:
If I were you, I would stop smoking. = I think you should stop smoking.
(“I would stop smoking” has the same meaning, we understand that it means “if I were you”.)
---
