Homework: Write an email to a friend asking for advice about whether you should participate in one of the extreme sports you designed today or whether you should move to a colony on Mars. Then write a short email in response (to give the advice).
---
p. 128 part 6 - Answer the questions with your partner.
part 5 - Which word doesn’t belong? Why?
1 plane - the others are places where you can sleep / home - the others are about travel
2 heal - the others are part of medical diagnosis (when the doctor tries to find out what the problem is)
3 mirror - the others are part of nature (which you can eat)
4 pain - the others are people
---
other p. 119 vocabulary review:
“pain” is usually a noun, “hurt” is usually a verb
“painful” is usually physical, “hurtful” is emotional
“injured” means your body was damaged somehow, “wounded” is usually from some kind of violence
An injury heals. A doctor cures an illness or other condition (and then the condition is fixed).
You treat an injury or condition when you do something to take care of it (but maybe not fix it completely).
“date” is romantic, “appointment” is professional
“control” means you can change it as you want, “monitor” means observe (often with equipment or machines, but not always)

Defining relative clauses:
That’s the man. I saw him yesterday. -> That’s the man who/that I saw yesterday.

Gino’s is the restaurant. I met my wife there.
-> Gino’s is the restaurant where I met my wife.
   Gino’s is the restaurant in which I met my wife.
   Gino’s is the restaurant which I met my wife in.
   Gino’s is the restaurant that I met my wife in.
   Gino’s is the restaurant I met my wife in.

Sarah is my friend. I took care of her dog. -> Sarah is my friend whose dog I took care of.

That was the day. I graduated then. -> That was the day when I graduated.

The restaurant is very good. I met my wife there. -> The restaurant where I met my wife is very good.

John is the friend of my father. I met him yesterday.
-> John is the friend of my father who I met yesterday.
(WRONG: John is the friend who I met yesterday of my father.)
---
Second Conditional:
I am not an astronaut, so I will not go to space. (real situation)
-> If I were an astronaut, I would go to space. (unreal situation - switch affirmative and negative)

I can’t be the Queen of Mars because I hate space travel.
-> I could be the Queen of Mars if I didn’t hate space travel. / if I liked space travel.
 = If I didn’t hate space travel, I could be the Queen of Mars.

(This is different from, “If I could be the Queen of Mars, I wouldn’t hate space travel.”)
---
Wishes: same grammar as the if-clause in 2nd conditional (past without “was”)
I can’t be the Queen of Mars. -> I wish I could be the Queen of Mars.
I hate space travel. -> I wish I didn’t hate space travel.
I am not an astronaut. -> I wish I were an astronaut.
I don’t make a lot of money. -> I wish I made a lot of money.
		(I wish I could make a lot of money.)
		(I wish I had a lot of money.)
		(I wish I had a better job.)

Remember: “could” is the past of “can”, as well as the conditional. It can be on both sides of the sentence
	If I could speak Chinese, I could travel alone in China.
	(If I were able to speak Chinese, I would be able to travel alone in China.)
(“would” is like the past of “will” - “If you would help me, I would finish this sooner.”)
