With your group, use your phones to try to find the craziest or most unusual extreme sport you can. (You will briefly explain it to us after you decide on the sport with your group, so make sure you can find some information about it.)
BASE jumping = jumping from a Building, Antenna, Span (bridge) or Earth (cliff or mountain)

p. 120
Would you want to live on Mars if you had the opportunity? Why or why not?

---
Grammar: second conditional = present/future unreal conditional
if + [simple past without “was”], subj + would/could/might + base form
subj + would/could/might + base form + if + [simple past without “was”] (no comma)

If I were you, I would call them today. = You should call them today.
- In formal language, we don’t use “was” in the if-clause for unreal conditionals.
---
The difference between “could”, “might”, and “would”:
If I were rich, I could buy a house. = It would be possible, because I would have enough money.
	(I’m not rich, so I can’t buy a house.)
	I could buy a house, but I wouldn’t because I prefer to travel.
If I were rich, I might buy a house. = Maybe I would, but I’m not sure.
If I were rich, I would buy a house. = This is definitely what I would do with the money.
---
could = would be able to (if it’s about a person) or would possibly (if it’s about something else)
might = would possibly
---
p. 121 part 10 - Complete the questions with the correct forms of the verbs. Then look for the answers in the text under the picture on p. 120.
1 had, would be - change the atmosphere by melting the ice
2 would it take - six months

4 would happen / might happen, melted - It would release CO2 and warm the atmosphere.
5 would the temperature change - It would increase.
6 would/could/might we learn - We might learn to manage our limited Earth better.
---
BREAK
---
Future Unreal - we use this to talk about future events that we think are unlikely or impossible
If I win the marathon, I will be very happy. = I think winning is a real possibility.
If I won the marathon, I would be very happy. = I don’t think winning is a real possibility.
---
p. 118 - What does “bionic” mean? (What two words are combined to give us this word?)
- biology + electronic = bionic
A prosthetic is a removable part of your body that is fake (because you lost or were born without the original part).
A prosthetic or implant is bionic if it includes some electronics and other high technology.
(A pacemaker is a simple example of a bionic implant.)
---
part 2 - Listen to a radio preview for a TV show and choose the correct endings for 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.
take for granted = accept as normal and don’t think about
---
The underlined parts of these sentences give necessary information about nouns in the first part of the sentence.
(There are commas around unnecessary information, such as in, “My father, who lives in Michigan, is coming to visit me next weekend.”)

My students who do their homework every week are great.
= Only some of my students do their homework every week, and those students are great.
My students, who do their homework every week, are great.
= All of my students are great, and also all of my students do their homework every week.
---
defining/restricve/identifying - these give necessary information about the noun
non-defining/nonrestricive/non-identifying = these give extra information about the noun
---
p. 119 part 7 - Write the correct word to complete each noun phrase
1 who/that
2 who/that
3 which/that
4 when
5 where
6 whose (We use “whose” for possessives even if it’s not a person.)
---
This is the tree whose leaves look like stars. (We know it’s the tree’s leaves that look like stars.)
Whose leaves look like stars? (What person’s leaves look like stars?)
Which tree’s leaves look like stars?
---
This is the restaurant where we met.
This is the restaurant in which we met.
This is the restaurant that we met in. (We don’t use prepositions before “that”.)
This is the restaurant we met in. (We can remove “that” if it’s not the subject of the relative clause.)
---
This is the new drug that stores are starting to carry.
This is the new drug stores are starting to carry. (This could be confusing because “drugstores” has its own meaning and you might expect the sentence to be finished at that point.)
---
p. 119 part 9 - With your partner, choose which word is correct in each sentence. Then try to explain the meaning of the other word with a relative clause. (Use a dictionary if you need to.)
1 injured
  “wounded” is something that happens from war or violence
2 heal
  “treat” is something that we do to a condition or injury (“heal” is something the condition does)
3 appointment
  “date” is romantic and (usually) less formal
4 cure
  (“Cure” means at the end the condition is completely gone. “Treat” is what we do before that.)
5 hurt
  “hurt” is the verb and “pain” is usually the noun; “pain” as a verb is emotional
6 treatment
  “side effects” are effects that are not the intended effects of a treatment (You use a treatment for one effect. Anything else is a side effect.)
7 monitoring
  “control” means you can change it directly, but a patient’s condition can only be observed
8 painful
  “hurtful” refers to emotional pain
A chronic condition is one that continues for a long time (possibly your whole life). It can be treated but perhaps not cured.
---
p. 124 - Put the injuries in part 1 into the correct category. Then tell your partners about a time when you or someone you know has had one of these injuries or conditions.
allergic reactions: insect bites, eating the wrong food, wasp and bee stings
cuts: blades and knives
bruises: falling off something, tripping or falling
sprains and breaks: falling off something, tripping or falling
