prosthetic
bionic = biology + electronic

take for granted = treat as normal and expected
limbs = arms or legs

Grammar: Defining Relative Clauses
---
The underlined clauses give more information about nouns (people, places, things), so they are sometimes called adjective clauses.
clause = part of a sentence that has its own subject and verb
---
Relative Pronouns:
who = person as the subject (sometimes object) - he/she/they
whose = person as the possessive - his/her/their
	(In relative clauses, it doesn’t need to be a person, it can also be “its”.)
(whom = person as the object, in formal English - him/her/them)
which = one or more things as the subject or object - it/they/them (not for people)
that = people and things, subject or object (NOT after a comma or a preposition)
when = time
where = place
why = reason
---
defining vs. non-defining (or restrictive vs. non-restrictive, or identifying vs. non-identifying):
I like all of my students who do their homework. = Some of my students do their homework, and I like those students.
I like all of my students, who do their homework. = I like all of my students, and all of my students do their homework.
---
p. 119 part 7 - Choose the correct relative pronoun to complete each noun phrase.
1 who/that
2 who/that
3 which/that
4 when
5 where
6 whose (It’s about the limbs’ movement, so we need the possessive.)
---
Cochlear implants allow people to hear. The people are deaf.
-> Cochlear implants allow people who are deaf to hear.
It’s a healthy area of bone. The bionic limb is attached there.
-> It’s a healthy area of bone where the bionic limb is attached.
These are bionic limbs. Their movement mimics the body’s natural steps.
-> These are bionic limbs whose movement mimics the body’s natural steps.
---
p. 119 part 9 - With your partner, choose the correct word of each pair.
What does the other word mean?
---
BREAK
---
1 injured
	“wounded” usually implies violence, and “a wound” almost always means that the skin is cut and bleeding
2 heal
	Injuries heal. We treat conditions.
3 appointment
	A date is romantic.
4 cure
	Injuries heal. We cure illnesses (when we fix them completely).
5 hurt
	“pain” is usually a noun (and when it’s a verb it has an object)
6 treatment
	side effects are unintended consequences of a treatment
7 monitoring
8 painful
	“hurtful” is usually emotional
---
part 10 - Do you know the meanings of these words? Can you explain them with relative clauses?
surgeon = a person who performs surgery
surgery = a procedure that usually includes cutting into part of the body
donor = a person who donates (gives) something (In medicine, it means they donate blood or a body part.)
stitches = a treatment for a wound where (/ in which) a doctor sews the skin together with a needle and thread
ward = a place in a hospital where patients of a specific type can stay (e.g. “cancer ward”, “maternity ward”, “children’s ward”)
crutches = tools like sticks that support the body if you injured your leg
first aid = the first treatment that you do for a condition (especially while you wait for paramedics)
	OR: the small kinds of treatment that you can do for minor injuries like cuts
technician = a person who works with machines or in a laboratory

p. 120-121
Would you move to Mars if you had the chance? Why or why not?
---
Grammar: Second Conditional = present or future unreal conditional
	real: If I win the lottery, I will quit my job. (I think this is a real possibility.)
	unreal: If I won the lottery, I would quit my job. (I don’t expect this.)
form: if + [past without “was”], subject + would/could/might + base form
---
I would quit my job. = This is definitely the choice I’d make.
	(Also, it means that in reality I won’t quit my job.)
I might quit my job. = This is a possibility, but I don’t really know what I’d do.
I could quit my job. = I would have the ability to do this.
	(Also, it means that in reality I can’t quit my job.)
---
p. 121 part 10 - With your partner, complete the sentences with second conditional. Then look for the answers in the text on p. 120.
1 had, would be
2 would...take
3 Would...be
4 would happen (if you think the answer is pretty certain), could/might happen (if you think the answer is a guess)
5 would...change (if you think the answer is certain), could/might...change (if you think it’s a guess)
6 could/might...learn (This one is probably a guess.)
---
We don’t always need the if-clause to understand unreal conditionals:
“How long would it take to reach Mars?” (...if we sent people to Mars)
“I would practice this more at home.” (...if I were you / if I were in your situation)
---
If you had to move somewhere else to live for the rest of your life, where would you go and what would you fit in a backpack to move there. (Imagine you can’t bring anything else with you, but you don’t have to worry about finding a job or a place to sleep in your new city.)
