- Homework: Write a book review of a novel of your choice.
- ---
- p. 68 - Unit 5 review
- part 1 - read about Fiji and find the answers to these three questions
- 1 Exclusive because it has upmarket hotels and beach cabanas for rich tourists. Not exclusive because there are less expensive accommodation for backpackers.
- 2 Well-prepared for tourists, charming, hospitable.
- 3 The main island of Viti Levu is the cultural hub of Fiji where you can experience real Fijian culture.
- cater to = satisfy the needs and wants of
- part 2 - What words or phrases do these substitutions mean?
- a most = most of the islands
- b this paradise = Fiji / staying in Fiji
- c do so = experience this paradise
- d it = having a limited budget / whether it was possible to experience it with a limited budget
- e this = the needs of different types of tourists / the presence of tourists with limited budgets
- f here = Yasawa
- g want to = want to go fishing with them (the locals)
- h it’s not an uncomfortable sensation = the feeling of being a tourist is not an uncomfortable feeling
- inhabited = people live in the place (in-, im-, ir-, and il- can mean both “not” and “in”)
- uninhabited = people do not live there
- ---
- Substituting synonyms can avoid repetition, but you have to be careful that the synonym is appropriate in this context. (Remember p. 58 part 5, for example “trail” cannot be used to describe a water route.)
- Another possible problem is connotation, the implied “extra” meaning a word has (like the attitude of a speaker, especially whether the word is positive or negative).
- lazy (negative) vs. easy-going (positive)
- stubborn (negative) vs. resolute (positive)
- gullible (negative) vs. open-minded (positive)
