adrenaline junkie = someone who is “addicted” to adrenaline and dangerous, exciting situations
---
An adrenaline junkie is a person who is addicted to adrenaline.
adjective = a word to describe a noun
clause = a group of words with a subject and verb
adjective clause = a clause that gives more information about a noun
defining adjective clause = an adjective clause that gives a definition (or other identifying information)

(The book calls these “relative clauses”, because they begin with a relative pronoun, such as “who” or “that”.)
---
Boston is the city. I study English there. -> Boston is the city where I study English. (place)
An adjective clause is a clause which gives information about a noun. (thing)
There will be a day when Jeb Corliss dies doing one of these crazy things. (time)
Maria is the woman. Her parachute didn’t open on time.
-> Maria is the woman whose parachute didn’t open on time. (possessive)
---
bionic = a combination of biological (living) and electronic parts
(Another portmanteau (combination of two words into one) is “guesstimate”.)
---
p. 119 part 7 - with a partner, complete the phrases with the correct relative pronouns (who, which, that, where, when, whose)
1 who / that
2 who / that
3 which / that
4 when / (nothing)
5 where
6 whose (It can sound strange to use “whose” for something that isn’t a person.)
  (bionic limbs with movement that mimics the body’s natural steps)

area of bone where the limb is attached
area of bone to which the limb is attached
area of bone that the limb is attached to
area of bone the limb is attached to

They have new prosthetic arms that can receive signals from the brain.

(It’s possible to remove “that” if another word is the subject of the relative clause.)
---
p. 119 part 9 - choose the correct word to complete each sentence, and make sure you understand the difference between them
(This is a good example of why you should use a dictionary, even if it’s just typing “define [word]” in Google, instead of a translator. Some of the pairs translate to the same word in your language.)
1 injured (“injured” means any damage to the body)
(“wounded” refers to injuries that break the skin, especially if it’s from some kind of violence)
2 heal (Injuries heal, people treat things.)
3 appointment (Dates are romantic, appointments are professional or business-related.)
(A meeting is usually within the same company or group, and appointment is with someone outside.)
4 cure (“cure” = completely remove the disease or condition, and like “treat” it’s something done to the condition, while “heal” is something an injury does by itself)
5 hurt (“hurt” is a verb, “pain” is a noun)
6 treatment
7 monitoring
8 painful (“hurtful” usually refers to emotional pain)
---
p. 120 - What do you know about Mars? Would you go there if you had the opportunity?
The Martian - new movie with Matt Damon, where he is an astronaut who gets stranded on Mars and has to survive and wait for rescue

p. 120 wordbuilding: -ful and -less (to make adjectives from nouns)
successful / -
beautiful / -
- / speechless
- / homeless
hopeful / hopeless
helpful / helpless
careful / careless
(sunny) / sunless
(cloudy) / cloudless

[noun]ful = with a lot of [noun]
[noun]less = without any [noun]
---
Second Conditional = present and future unreal conditional
If you had the opportunity, would you go to Mars?
(You don’t have the opportunity now and I don’t expect that you will, so this is about an unreal situation in the present or future.)

if + [simple past], would/could/might + base form
If I had the opportunity, I would go to Mars. = I am sure about this.
If I had the opportunity, I might go to Mars. = I’m not sure about it. This is just one possibility.
If I knew more Spanish, I could travel in Latin America by myself. = I would have the ability to do it.
If I could speak Arabic, I could bargain more effectively in Morocco.
(“could” = past of “can”), (“could” = “would be able to”)

(to give advice) If I were you, I would call them right away.
It’s more formally correct to use “were” for all subjects in the if-clause.
---
Wishes: subject + wish + [past (without “was”)]
I wish I could study. = If I could study, I would be happier.
I wish it were sunny. = If it were sunny, I would be happier.

I hope the sun is out now. = Maybe it’s true, and this is what I want.
I wish the sun were out now. = The sun is not out, and that makes me unhappy.

When I first see a “cash only” sign, I might think, “I hope I have enough cash.”
If I don’t have enough, I might think, “I wish I had enough cash.”
(If I do have enough, I might think, “I’m glad I have enough cash.”)
---

Other types of injuries include burns, scratches, scrapes, strain (pulling or tearing a muscle).
---
part 3 - what injuries are probably being described in the “Describing injuries” section?
---
(Note the pronunciation of “bruise”, “suit”, and “building”.)
---
“actually” is like “in fact” and “to be honest” (means something is unexpected but true)
“of course” is like “clearly”, “naturally”, and “obviously” (means something is clearly true to both the writer and the reader)
“the thing is” is like “all the same”, “even so”, and “however” (means the next thing I say is going to be in contrast with what I already said)
“so” is like “anyway” and “well” (to return to the original topic or question, especially as a conclusion)
“by the way” is like “before I forget” and “incidentally” (to briefly change the topic to another small thing)

“plus”, “in addition”, and “furthermore” add more information or details about the same topic
