Homework: Following the instructions and example on p. 65, write a postcard to a friend about Boston or another place you have visited. You can use some informal language, but don’t leave out words.
	Also: read p. 75 and do parts 3, 4, 5 on p. 74
p. 74 part 3
1 chocolate
2 drug
3 energy
4 food and drinks
5 sleep cycle / rhythm
part 4
makes you more alert
relieves pain
reduces asthma symptoms
increases reaction speed
is habit-forming
raises blood pressure
increases the risk
part 5
1 We work and sleep by the clock, not by the sun.
2 caffeine, electric light
3 The body doesn’t function at its best, physically, mentally, or emotionally.
4 People need caffeine to stay awake, and they have trouble staying awake because they don’t get enough regular sleep, and they don’t get enough sleep because they use caffeine.
- This isn’t really a paradox. The book describes it as a “downward spiral”, and we could also call it a “vicious cycle”.

In your pair or group, tell your partners about the strangest or most unusual food you have tried.

Read the “Pizza with a pedigree” article.

Which “traditional” pizza ingredient couldn’t have been on the pizza in 997 CE?
Tomatoes are from the Americas, so no European food had them before Columbus.
(Other American foods include chocolate, avocado, corn, potatoes, and chili peppers.)
---
CE = “common era” = AD
BCE = “before the common era” = BC

Pronunciation: -s and -ed endings
inches - we pronounce the ‘e’ because this ends with a ‘ch’ sound
(We also do this for /s/, /z/, and the ‘sh’ sound: bosses, sizes, washes.)
names with ‘s: Mich’s, Chris’s, Roz’s, Ish’s - pronounce like “es”
other sounds: Greg’s, Natalia’s, Guilherme’s - don’t pronounce the ‘e’

For -ed endings, we pronounce the ‘e’ only when the verb ends with a /t/ or /d/ sound.
visited, wanted, needed, raided
We don’t pronounce ‘e’ for all other sounds, and the -ed ending sounds like just /t/ or /d/
walked, washed, mixed, played, clogged, judged, loved

Grammar: modals for advice, obligation, and permission
modal (auxiliary) verbs: will, would, can, could, shall, should, must, might, may, ought to, had better
similar expressions (not technically modals): have to, be able to, be allowed to

permission: You may use your books. / You can use your books. (“may” is more formal for permission)
	You’re allowed to use your books.
no permission = prohibition: You can’t use your books. / You must not use your books. / You may not use your books. (formal) / You’re not allowed to use your books.

advice: You should use your books. (It’s a good idea.)
	You shouldn’t use your books. (It’s not a good idea.)

obligation: You have to use your books. / You must use your books. (It’s your only option.)
no obligation: You don’t have to use your books. (It’s not your only option.)

5 You have to heat thoroughly before serving.

5 though - “thoe”
6 trough - “troff”

Other conjunctions with similar grammar:
If you study more, you will pass your tests. = I don’t know whether you’ll study or not.
When you study more, you will pass your tests. = I’m confident that you will study more.

Unless you study more, you won’t pass your tests. = If you don’t study more, you won’t pass.
Until you study more, you won’t pass your tests. = Same, but I’m confident that you will study more.
	(We can use “if and when” and “unless and until”.)

As soon as you start to study, you’ll pass your tests. = It will happen immediately after you start.

(“When” and “until” suggest that you’re waiting for one thing before another thing can happen. “After” and “before” could be for previously scheduled events.)
---
part 8 - Choose the correct options to complete each sentence (sometimes both are okay).
1 unless
2 As soon as / When
3 before / when
4 until
5 unless
6 If

8 before / until

“If you lend me the car, I will clean the whole house every week.”
“If I can borrow the car, I will…”
“If we lend you the car, you have to…”
“If you borrow the car, you have to…”

lend = give (temporarily)
borrow = take (temporarily)
