3.1. READING & SPEAKING
Situation: Paul and Marissa are having dinner at a restaurant in the
centre of town. They have just finished eating, and now they are chatting
over a glass of wine.
Paul:
Tell me Marissa, do you have a busy daily schedule?
Marissa: Well, it depends. I usually wake up at 7 oclock during weekdays;
I shower, eat breakfast, and get ready for school until about 8
oclock. At 9, I hurry to catch the bus, I attend classes, I always eat
my lunch in the park, at 4 oclock I come back home, I do some
shopping if I have to or I do some cleaning in the house, at 6 I
usually have dinner, and in the evening I either study, watch
television, read, and sometimes I listen to music or go out with my
friends.
Paul:
Wow, you do so many things in just a single day! Im impressed!

Hobbies
Marissa: What can I say, I am a very active person, and I cant stand just
sitting down and doing absolutely nothing. Still, I never wake up
before 9 at the weekend.
Paul:
I see. And what do you do in your spare time? Tell me some of
your hobbies, things you like or dislike.
Marissa: I love listening to music because its very relaxing, going for
walks in the park or reading a good novel before I go to sleep. I am
mad about going to parties or to the cinema with my friends, I
enjoy dancing and jogging whenever I have the time. It gives me
the chance to stay healthy. What else? I also like travelling a lot,
but I cant say Im a great fan of horror movies, and I definitely
hate cold weather. How about you? What is your favourite
pastime?
Paul:
I like many things. I like watching television, playing tennis in the
summer or going to the gym when I have some free time. I am
very keen on taking photos; I think its very interesting and I really
enjoy that, but I must admit that I just love travelling. This is my
favourite hobby. I think its so exciting. If I had a lot of money, I
would travel all over the world. I want to see new places and meet
interesting people.
Marissa: Oh, its already 9 oclock! I guess time flies when you are having
such a good time. Dont you agree?
Paul:
Of course I do. Lets stay some more.

People description
Situation: Our two main characters, Marissa and Paul, have just
stepped out of a clothing store, and now they are in a hurry to catch the 5
oclock bus. On their way to the bus stop, Paul has the impression he sees
Sarah, Marissas best friend whom he has seen in pictures only, on the other
side of the street.
Marissa: Do you think I can make a quick stop at the bookshop, Paul? I
really need to buy a book I have to use at school.
Paul:
I dont know what to say. There isnt enough time; if you stay too
long, were going to miss the 5 oclock bus.
Marissa: I wont. Ill be right back!
Paul:
Marissa, wait! Look! Theres Sarah!
Marissa: Sarah?! Where? I dont see her.
Paul:
Right there, across the street, in front of that big red car. If my
memory serves me right, shes rather short, thin, and she has curly
dark hair. Am I right?
Marissa: Yeah, thats what she looks like, but I still cant spot her. There are
too many people there.
Paul:
She is right between that tall old man, whos wearing a long black
coat and a big strange looking hat, and that young woman with a
short white jacket and straight blonde hair. She is holding a little
grey purse in her hand.

thats not Sarah! Its just someone who looks a lot like her!
Paul:
Are you sure?
Marissa: Of course Im sure. Sarah isnt that short, and she doesnt have
glasses.
Paul:
Oh, I see. It is my mistake. I really thought it was her.
Marissa: Its already 6 oclock! Weve missed the bus! What are we going
to do now?
Paul:
We are going to catch a cab. Its too cold, wet and cloudy. Its
also getting dark.
Marissa: All right. I just cant stand bad weather. I love it when its warm,
dry and sunny.

Strange happenings
Sarah: She sat on the first bench she laid her eyes on, she bought herself a
magazine and she didnt move the whole time we were there. At 2
oclock, I had to go for my dentist appointment, but when I got there
my dentist told me that I had the wrong day, though I was absolutely
sure it was the right one. Fortunately, somebody cancelled their
appointment at the last moment, so he was able to attend me instead.
Marissa: Go on! I can barely wait to hear what happened next.
Sarah: On my way home, I stopped to buy the things I needed to cook
dinner, I took a taxi and right at that moment I remembered I still
had to pick up my coat from the dry-cleaning. Unfortunately, when I
got there, it was already closed. At 8 o clock sharp, I finally got
home and
Marissa: And what?
Sarah: My coat was there, hanging on the hallstand. I was so amazed. I
couldnt believe my eyes. Right next to the phone, there was a note.
It said: I know you are very busy, so I thought this might be helpful
for you. See you on Saturday. Love, mother

Explanation
The normal rule is that regular verbs form their past tense by adding
ed to the short infinitive, and irregular verbs form this tense in different
ways, which must be learnt for each verb in part.
We form the interrogative and the negative past, of both regular and
irregular verbs, with the auxiliary DO (past form - DID) plus the short
infinitive of the verb to be conjugated. (Note: the Simple Past Tense is in
fact also known as the narrative tense).
Use
1. to denote repeated, habitual actions in the past:
Examples: I went to the cinema every week.
My sister ate an orange a day.
2. to express past actions completed at a specified time:
Examples: She wrote two letters yesterday.
He played tennis last month.

Terminology
Copulas or copula verbs are the verbs that we use to join an adjective with
the subject.
Examples: His intentions seem good.
You look tired.
This cake tastes good.
Some of the most frequent copula verbs are:
appear, be, become, feel, get, go, grow, keep, look, seem, smell, sound,
stay, taste, turn etc.
Examples: This player appears promising.
This conference is interesting.
She is becoming smarter.
The girls teddy bear feels so soft.
Were all getting old.
Hes growing bigger and bigger.
Im going crazy.
Keep quiet, please.
Your perfume smells nice.
That sounds great!
How can you stay so young?
The moon is turning brighter.
Note: Look carefully at the examples above. You will notice that some of
the copulas were used to express change (become, get, grow, go, turn),
while other copula verbs were used to say that things did not change (keep,
stay).
