  3. http://www.pastebin.com/u/gmalivuk - notes from all classes
  4. ---
  5. Homework: p. 36 parts 1, 4, and 5
  6. ---
  7. In pairs, use collocations from part 1 to describe the place where you live (either here or in your country).
  8. safe (adj) place: a place that isn’t dangerous, a place where you won’t get hurt (like a crime-free neighborhood)
  9. safety (noun)
  10. secure (adj) place: a place where unauthorized people can’t have access (like a bank)
  11. security (noun)
  12. ---
  13. Wordbuilding: -able suffix
  14. If something is [verb]able, you are able to [verb] it.
  15. This is a productive suffix: you can create understandable new words with it.
  16.  
  17. Sometimes the word we expect doesn’t exist or isn’t common, because another word is in its place:
  18. edible (instead of eatable)
  19. visible (instead of seeable)
  20. Other times both versions of the word exist:
  21. potable = drinkable
  22. legible = readable
  23. ---
  24. p. 37 part 7 - Find the sentences in the article that are almost the same as sentences 1-4, then answer the questions a-c about the sentences from the article.
  25. 1 It offers an alternative to… (“could” is removed, which changes the sentence from possibility to fact)
  26. 2 What I was trying to do was remind people… (putting the intention first emphasizes it)
  27. 3 Rarely do you find nostalgia taken to such extremes. (putting “rarely” first emphasizes it)
  28. 4 …, Poundbury does seem to work. (“does” emphasizes that this is affirmative)
  29. ---
  30. Emphatic forms:
  31. cleft sentences - sentences that are “split up” to move the emphasized information to the beginning
  32. negative inversion - to emphasize a negative adverb by putting it first (and inverting the word order)
  33. (This sounds very formal and is almost exclusively used in writing rather than speaking.)
  34. Never have I seen this movie. (strange, because we don’t talk about movies so formally)
  35. (never, rarely, seldom, not only, not once)
  36. emphatic do/does/did - to emphasize that a (simple present or past) sentence is affirmative
  37.  
  38. p. 37 part 8 - Rewrite the sentences to make them more emphatic.
  39. 1 What I love about Poundbury is the human scale.
  40. What I love is the human scale of Poundbury.
  41. 2 Rarely do you need a car to go shopping.
  42. 3 The thing the architects wanted to do was encourage...
  43. 4 It’s in these public spaces that children socialize. (not an adjective clause, so we don’t need “where”)
  44. 5 What isn’t surprising is that Poundbury has cost a lot of money to build.
  45. 6 Not once did the developers opt for cheaper materials.
  46. 7 When asked, the developers did admit that they expected Thames Town to be more popular.
  47. (When asked, the developers admitted that they did expect Thames Town to be more popular.)
  48. 8 They do think, however, that the Italian and Austrian towns will be popular.
  49. ---
  50. BREAK
  51. ---
  52. “only” can also cause inversion if it’s at the beginning of a sentence:
  53. You can change your level only after you pass the level test.
  54. -> Only after you pass the level test can you change your level. (no comma, inverted main clause)
  55. (Without “only”: After you pass the level test, you can change your level.)
  56. ---
  57. part 9 - Which sentences use emphasis which isn’t really necessary in that context?
  58. 1, 3, 4
  59. ---
  60. Cleft sentences can result in strange pairs of words next to each other:
  61. What he did doesn’t make any sense.
  62. What I have hasn’t been described.
  63. ---
  64. part 10 - In your group, discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each option, and try to reach an agreement about which one is better.
  65.  
  66. food desert = an area where affordable or healthy food is not accessible
  67. ---
  68. p. 40 part 1 - Tell your partner about at least one piece of public art in your hometown or city. Do you like or dislike it? Why?
  69. part 3 - Answer the questions about the debate
  70. 1 A work in the shape of an open book with a screen that displays different text.
  71. 2 in favor
  72. 3 It’s accessible (rather than intellectual), it’s fun to watch, it could become a tourist attraction, it’s interactive, and it reflects the city’s tradition of learning.
  73. ---
  74. p. 38-39 - What do you know about this architect, Zaha Hadid? Why do you think she was called “the paper architect”?
  75. ---
  76. Homework: read p. 39 and do p. 38 parts 2 and 3 (also make a list of words you don’t understand and couldn’t figure out with a dictionary)
