Gateway 1 unit 8: social problems
- Vocabulary
Some social problems:
Unemployment – people with special needs – violence – against women – shanty towns – racism – immigration – illiteracy –
Dangerous diseases – poverty – road accidents – homeless children – beggars
- Functions: making suggestions
Suggestion: is an idea , a plan or a possibility that someone mentions
| Expressions of suggestions | example |
| Why don’t + subjectLet’s + infinitiveI suggest + gerund ( verb+ing)
What / how about + gerund |
Why don’t we go on a picnic ?Let’s go on a picnicI suggest going on a picnic
What / how about going on a picnic |
- Grammar: The reported speech (direct to indirect)
- A speech can be divided into direct and indirect .
“they are building a new school here “ => direct speech
He said that they were building a new school there . => indirect speech
- It can also be divided into :
1 – Statement: “they have just finished the exam “
2 – Question : “what were you doing when they came? “
“Have you finished the exercise? “
3 – Command: “stop teasing me “
“You must not smoke here “
“ you needn’t come “
- If the reporting verb is in present simple , present perfect or future simple then we report the sentence as it is . In other words , we make no changes .
Ex : “they will move from here next week “
He says / is saying /will say that they will move from here next week
But if the reporting verb is in simple past then certain changes are necessary. These changes affect :
- Verbs
- Pronouns ( I , you …. My ,your …., mine , their …..)
- Time indications ( yesterday , tomorrow , now , next ……)
- Place indications ( here , there , this place …..)
NB : these changes take place when the reporting verb is in simple past and they are applied to : statements , questions and command
| Direct | Indirect | |
