p. 118 - The bionic woman
What two words combine to make “bionic”? (biology + electronic)
p. 118 part 2 - Listen to the audio 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

Grammar: defining relative clauses
---
clause = a group of words with a subject and verb
relative clause / adjective clause = a clause that gives more information about a noun
	(With a relative pronoun like “that” or “which”.)
defining/identifying/restrictive = The clause gives information that is necessary to identify the noun it’s about.
---
I like all of my students, who do their homework every week.
	- non-defining: I like all of my students and all of my students do their homework every week.
I like all of my students who do their homework every week.
	- defining: Not all of my students do their homework. I like the ones that do it.
---
Relative pronouns:
which = a thing
who = a person
(whom = a person, as the object of a verb or preposition)
whose = a possession (It can also be a thing’s “possession”.)
when = time
where = place (informally, this can often replace “in which”)
that = a thing or a person (can replace “who”, “whom”, and “which”, but not after a comma or preposition)
---
Note: we can remove “that” if it is not the subject of the clause
---
(If we can remove something in English, we usually do, especially for speaking, unless it makes the sentence confusing: Do you know (that) John’s wife is pregnant?
---
p. 119 part 7 - With your partner, choose the correct relative pronoun to complete each noun phrase
1 who/that (“who” is more formal, but both are very common)
2 who/that
3 which/that (Some people feel you should always use “that” for defining clauses.)
4 when
5 where (The bionic limb is attached there.)
6 whose (Their movement mimics the body’s natural steps.)
---
In relative clauses, “whose” can refer to a thing:
	This is the tree whose leaves look like stars.
In questions, it always refers to a person:
	Whose leaves look like stars? = Which person owns the leaves that look like stars?
---
We sometimes have many ways to say the same thing:
bone where the limb is attached
bone to which the limb is attached
bone which the limb is attached to
bone that the limb is attached to
bone the limb is attached to
---
p. 119 part 9 - Choose the correct word from each pair. Make sure you also know what the other word means.
---
BREAK
---
1 injured (“wounded” usually refers to violence, not an accident)
2 heal (We treat injuries, injuries heal.)
3 appointment (A date is romantic.)
4 cure
5 hurt (‘pain” is usually a noun)
6 treatment
7 monitoring
8 painful (“hurtful” usually emotional)
side effects = effects of a treatment other than the reason you take it
---
Make sure you also understand the words in part 10.
A surgeon is a doctor that does surgery.
Surgery is a procedure where / in which a surgeon cuts into your body to do something.
Stitches are threads that are used to close a cut so it can heal.
A donor is a person who gives (donates) blood, tissue, or an organ.
Crutches are devices that help you walk.
A paramedic is a person who works on an ambulance.
A ward is a part of a hospital where a specific type of patients stay.

Would you move to Mars if you had the opportunity? Why or why not?
---
https://www.space.com/35527-nasa-astronaut-twins-study-early-results.html - Both twins are astronauts, and one spent a year in space.
---
Grammar: Second Conditional = present/future unreal conditional
---
form: if + [past (without “was”)], subj + would/could/might + base form
	If I had the opportunity, I might move to Mars.
---
If I had a lot of money, I could buy a house, but I would prefer to travel.
---
p. 121 part 10 - Complete the questions with the correct forms of the words, then look for the answers in the text on p. 120.
1 had, would be - 18-month survey missions
2 would it take - six months
3 Would it be - Yes.
4 could/might/would happen, melted - There would be more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

---
If you had to move to another city for the rest of your life, where would you go, and what things would you bring in a (normal-sized) backpack to your new life? Talk to your partner about your ideas.
(Your passport and other travel documents, and the clothes you wear on the trip, do not count for the five things. What else would you want to bring, if you have to abandon everything else you own?)
---
Formally: If I were rich, I would travel. If it were warm today, I would eat lunch outside.
- Don’t use “was” for second conditional.
---
Wishes about the present and past use the same grammar as second (and third) conditional clauses:
If I were rich, I would be happy. -> I wish I were rich.
If she had the opportunity to go to Mars, she would be happy. -> She wishes she had the opportunity…
I wish I had my umbrella. (I wish I had it now, but I don’t.)
