Question 2
In explaining how faculty and administrators should deal with academic dishonesty, Eastman, Iyer and Reisenwitz (2008) suggest that three aspects of academic dishonesty be taken into consideration, including factors influencing academic dishonesty, differentiation between plagiarism and cheating, and students’ view that certain types of academic dishonesty are more unethical than others.
Question 3
Van Merrienboer (1997) points out the transition in the field of instructional design from ”instructivist” approaches to “constructivist” approaches in the last ten years, with the former expressing the idea that the knowledge is to represent the real world, and thus determines the meaning which is external to the understanders.
Question 4
Reigeluth (1999) explains the instructional design theory as at least consisting of two parts :methods for promoting human learning and development, and in what situations the methods can or cannot be employed.
Question 5

Heimlich further points out that the difference between the decades prior to the 1960s and now is much greater attention has been attached to the environment.
Question 6

Unit 4IV. Explain in your own words the following sentences taken from the text.Unit 11.…there has been this long lull with nothing particular up!…Britain has been in too long a period of stillness without taking any particular action against the enemy!2.…we must “… meet with Triumph and Disaster. And treat those two impostorsjust the same.”…we are sure to experience both Triumph and Disaster, and we must treat them as the same thing different appearances because they are essentially interchangeable.3.…never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.…never give in unless we are convinced that it is honourable and sensible for us to do so.4.Britain, other nations thought, had drawn a sponge across her slate.Other nations thought that Britain was completely conquered.5.…we have only to persevere to conquer.…we will win as long as we hold on to the end.Unit 21.The phrase “personal space” has a quaint, seventies ring to it.The phrase “personal space” has an odd touch that was characteristic of the 1970s.2.T-shirt weather can make proximity more alluring (or much, or less).In hot summer days, people can be drawn to each other, especially to the opposite sex (or feel disgusted with the closeness of others.)3.The logistics of it vary according to geography.People in different regions are given different sizes of personal space. 4.…individuals routinely commandeer booths and sets of facing seats meant forfoursomes.…it is quite common that one person occupies a booth and a set of facing seats designed for four people.5.Even the focus of science these days is micro, not macro.Even science focuses on the intra-personal, inner world rather than theinterpersonal, outer society these days.6.In the same way that the breeze from a butterfly’s wings in Japan may eventuallyproduce a tidal in California, I have decided to expand the contracting boundaries of personal space.Because the initial invasion of personal space can cause a chain of reactions,which may bring about a catastrophic consequence, as the breeze from abutterfly’s wings in Japan, if it initiates a chain of waves, may eventually producea tidal wave in California, I have decided to enlarge the shrinking personal space.Unit 31.Given the relatively few restrictions governing access and usage, it is thecommunications modal equivalent of international waters.As there are relatively few restrictions for reaching and using the Internet,communications via the Internet are comparable to traveling through theinternational waterways.2.But much less widely reported has been the notion that the Internet may beresponsible for furthering the fragmentation of society by alienating its individual users.A lot of people talk about the “new information age”, but not so many people areacquainted with the idea that the Internet separates people from each other and fragments society further as a result.3.It seems to me that we are a society that values immediate gratification above allelse, and what better place to achieve it than in cyberspace, where the cyber-world is your cyber-oyster.I think that in our society the top priority is given to the satisfaction of one’simmediate needs. The Internet is the best tool for this purpose, for on the Internet one can do whatever he likes to.Unit 41.It was therefore left to Yamahata to record, methodically – and, as it happens, witha great and simple artistry – the effects ...The responsibility was therefore placed on Yamahata’s shoulders to record the effects systematically and incidentally with a great and simple artistry.2.That absence, even more than wreckage, contains the heart of the matter.That vanished city rather than its remains represents the true measure of the event.3.In the photographs, Nagasaki comes into its own.In the photographs, Nagasaki regains its own status.4.… the human imagination had stumbled to exhaustion in the wreckage of the firstruined city without reaching even the outskirts of the second.… the human imagination had been exhausted and stopped at the wreckage of the first ruined city and failed to reach even the outskirts of Nagasaki.5.… we seem to need, in addition, some other picture to counterpoise against ruinedNagasaki ...… apart from the pictures of Nagasaki we seen to need some other picture toinspire in us a hope of life to counterbalance the sense of doom suggested by the ruined Nagasaki…Unit 51.Slowly, it planned across the tapestry of friendship…Slowly, the movie gave a panoramic picture of friendship…2.This wasn’t just another binge of trendiness, but a kind of cinema verite.This was not simply a shift from one fashion to another, but a truthful description of friendship.3.Well, that duality must have been mortally wounded in some shoot- out at theYou’re OK, I’m OK Corral.The two sides must have been mortally wounded in the OK Corral gunfight.4.Buddies hang tough together; friends hang onto each other.Buddies hold on together in face of adversity; friends cling tightly to each other for emotional support.Unit 61.July 4 is one of the times when the American in me feels a twinge of unease aboutthe great lacunae in our children’s understanding of who they are and is prompted to try to fill the gaps.July 4 is one of the times I, as a native American, feel instinctively uneasy about the great gaps in our children’s understanding of their American identity, and thusI am motivated to do something to fill the gaps.2.And our physical separation from our native land is not much of an issue.And living away from our native country does not matter much (in our children’s acquisition of our native language).3.In my day little French kids looked like nothing other than little French kids…When I lived in France as an expatriated child, the French kids were dressed in the unique French style, thus looking quite different from their counterparts in other countries.4.That experience no longer seems possible in Western countries – a saddevelopment, in my view.Full immersion in a truly foreign world no longer seems possible in Westerncountries, and I think this is a deplorable impact of globalization upon the growth of children in a foreign country.Unit 71.He was almost innocent of any sense of responsibility.→He almost had no sense of responsibility.2.He wrote begging letters by the score,sometimes groveling without shame,at other s loftily offering his intended benefactor the privilege of contributing to his support,a nd being mortally offended of the recipient declined the honor.→He wrote a large number of letters to his patron without shame,begging for money. But in a manner that it seemed a great honor for the patron to be offered the chance s upport him.That’s why he would be greatly offended if the patron refused to tale the honor.3.He would pull endless wires in order to meet some man who admired his work and was able and anxious to be of use to him.→he would use the influences from as many people as possible to meet his admirer w ho was readily useful to him.4.Is it any wonder he had no time to be a man?→Wagner was such a miraculous monster,is it any wonder that he didn’t behave like a normal human being in this world?Unit 81.“Yes,down,”he says.→“Yes,I’m going down,”he says.(Literally,he means that he is going down with the bed,but metaphorically he means that his physical condition is going from bad to wo rse.2.It is a sound you have never heard.It is something new under the sun.It could cure cancer.→And then he laughs.The wild,relaxed laughter is a totally new sound in the world t hat you have never heard.The laughter could cure cancer.3.She looks over at me shaking her head and making her mouth go.→The aide looks over at me,shaking her head to express her frustration and pursing h er lips to signal her annoyance,I understand that we are to cooperate.Unit 91.he couldn’t stand not being a part of our school.→He wanted very much to be a teacher of our school.2.we found a kinship→we found a strong connection between.3.I supported myself by sweeping foot floors of off-Broadway stages→I supported myself by sweeping floors of off-broadway stages before there was an y new role of me to play.4.He was still living in a world vibrant with all of the beautiful treasures he has stored →he was still living in a world that was exciting and lively because of all the beautif ul poems he had memorized.Unit101.Urban life,during the hours when they reign,is urbane.→Rats make city life orderly and courteous when they dominate the city deep at nigh t.2.City dwellers take the city with them to the country,for they will not live without is pamperings.→City dwellers create all kinds of fashion in the country,for they will not live witho ut these fashionable things.3.These windows are a scandal because they endanger the lives of office workers in c ase of fire.→These windows are disgraceful because they put the lives of office workers in dan ger if a fire should occur.4.No true sense of the rhythms of the seasons is to be had from a lawn in the backyard and a few spindly trees struggling to survive.→a lawn in the backyard and a few spindle-shaped trees struggling for life are not en ough to give the dweller any true sense of the season changes.Unit 111 .Nothing remains of it but memories and a fringe of dwelling houses on its outskirts.→Except for some dwelling houses on its suburbs,San Francisco has almost complet ely disappeared from the world and only remains in people’s memories.2.There was no withstanding the onrush of the flames.→Nothing could stop the advancement of the flames.3.An enumeration of the deeds of heroism would stock a library and bankrupt the Car negie medal fund.→The courageous and brave deeds in the firefighting would fill up a library if related in writing and exhaust the Carnegie medal fund if rewarded.4.Sometimes a whole family was harnessed to a carriage or delivery wagon that was weighted down with their possessions.→Sometimes all members of a family fastened themselves with straps to a carriage or delivery wagon that was heavily loaded with their possessions.5.And against this wall of flames,silhouetted sharply,were two United States cavalry men sitting their horse,calmly watching.→Two United States soldiers sat astride on their horse and calmly watched the conflagration,their shapes contrasting sharply with the wall.Unit121.It is an insidious practice,all the uglier for its blatancy.→The media’s malicious use of the small segment of black America to represent the whole of it is harmful and offensive.2.The free press,indeed,as the main interpreter of American culture and American e xperience,holds the mirror on American reality－so much so that what the media sa y is,even if it’s not that way at all.→The media are supposed to present American culture and American experience trut hfully by reflecting American reality,and people usually accept news reports as truth without any doubt.Unfortunately,in many cases what they present is anything but the truth.The distorted,inaccurate coverage of news is worse than covering nothing at all about blacks.4.Nor is it a matter of closing one’s eyes to the very real problems of the urban under class－which undeniably is disproportionately black.→We should never ignore the existence of real problems of the urban underclass－w hich undeniably is disproportionately black.5.For the millions of black people like myself－ordinary,hard-working,law-abiding ,tax-paying Americans－the media’s blindness to the fact that we even exist,let alo ne to our contributions to American society,is a bitter cup to drink.→Most black people work hard,obey the law and pay all kinds of taxes.We have ma de our contributions to American society,as all the other Americans have.Unit 131.Their cynical attitude to marriage may be gathered from the enthusiastic reception they gave to Punch’s advice to those about to marry -“Don’t.”→From the way they enthusiastically received the “Don’t advice given in themagazine Punch, we can tell that they adopted a skeptical attitude to marriage.2.The humour was crude; but it went home to the honest Victorian heart.→Although the humor might sound offensively rude, it was readily accepted by people in the Victorian era.3. “The marriage state, with and without the affection suitable to it, is the completest image of Heaven and Hell we are capable of receiving in this life.”→The marriage state, whether there is love involved or not, is a combination of the happiness and misery we may encounter in life.Unit 141.Everywhere, the media flow defies national boundaries. (Paragraph 1)→Throughout the world, the modern electronic media flow across national boundaries. / Throughout the world, the media flow is not barred by national boundaries.2.Just as their “cultures”are neither hard-wired nor uniform, so there is no simple way in which they are “Americanized”,though there are American tags on their experience －low-cost links to status and fun.→For young people, cultures are not innate or unvarying. They don’t simply become Americanized although they may have contact with American fun culture at little cost.3. The empire strikes from inside the spectator as well as from outside.→American pop culture not only impacts on the more material side of young people’s lives but also touches their hearts with great force.。

You've fine tuned your cover letter. You've completed the application. You've lined up your references. Finally, you've been invited to an interview for a job! Interviewing for jobs can be a daunting (yet exhilarating) prospect. Like anything, you will get better with practice. However, the more practice you have in job interviews usually means you're also racking up the rejections, and no one likes to experience too much rejection.Now that you've landed an interview, what's the best way to impress the hiring official, be invited back for a second interview, and get offered the job? You need to be prepared, and, surprisingly, it's incredibly important to know what not to say during an interview. One slip could mean the difference between a job offer and a rejection. With that in mind, here are the things you should never say during a job interview.How much does the job pay?As a general rule, wages and salaries are not usually discussed during a first interview. Asking about this makes you seem like you only care about money. Even if you are invited to a second or third interview, let the employer bring up the topic of money. Be prepared to tell them how much you're expecting. Give a range of what you'd accept rather than a specific amount. Estimating too high or too low might automatically knock you out of the running. It's important to do your research, though. How much do other employers pay? What's the going rate for the position?What does your company do?If you don't know what the company makes or does, why are you interviewing for them? Do your research.

Many people who have experienced a long period of inactivity like this, when (4) recounting how they felt at the time, refer to thesame strange psychological effect. As the days pass, they begin to feel (5) detached from any sense of pressure to go and look for a job, and tend to regard (6) upcoming interviews as if they were not very important. Typically, back at home after three or four years away, they (7) revert to old habits, start seeing old friends, and, in many cases, become dependent again on their parents.5 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box. You may need to makeother changes.1 I went to a mixed-ability secondary school just outside London. (comprehensive)2 I got stopped by a policeman who asked to see my driving licence. (cop)3 Have you seen this beautiful from the air view of Oxford? (aerial)4 Isabel tightly her bag as she walked down the corridor towards the office. (clutched)5 You should speak to Toby; he’s an supporter of flexible working hours. (advocate)6 I hurt my leg badly a couple of months ago, and itstill hasn’t got better completely. (healed)6 Answer the questions about the words.1 Is a dead-end job one with (a) exciting prospects, or(b) no future?2 Is a tricky problem (a) difficult, or (b) easy to solve?3 If an activity saps all your energy, do you feel (a) tired, or (b) more active than usual?4 Does a pushy person try to (a) persuade you to do something you don’t want to, or (b) help you by listening to what you have to say?5 If you feel apathy, do you want to (a) change the world, or (b) stay at home and do nothing?7 Answer the questions about the phrases.1 Is fork out (a) a formal, or (b) an informal way of saying to pay for something?2 If you are in the same boat as another person, are you(a) making the same journey together, or (b) inthe same difficult or unpleasant situation?3 If you feel you have come full circle, do you (a) feel you are back where you started, or (b) feel a sense of satisfaction because you have completed something?4 If someone takes a soft line, do they deal with a person(a) in a kind and sympathetic way, or (b) in alazy way without making a decision?5 If you strike the right note about something, are you expressing yourself (a) well, or (b) badly?6 If you do something by all means, do you (a) try your best to do it, or (b) not care about it?7 If you nudge someone back into the saddle, are you encouraging them to (a) take responsibility again, or(b) take it easy?8 If you talk through a problem with someone, do you (a) examine it carefully and sensitively, or (b) referto it quickly and then change the subject?Reading and interpreting8 Answer the questions.1 “Will he ever get a job?” Who is ask ing this question? What mood does it express?The parents are asking this because the paragraph is addressed to parents (earlier it says “your graduate son”). The mood seems to express patience or resignation because the word “ever” suggests that gettinga job will take a long time.2 Who describes Generation Y as “rebels without a cause”? Is it a fair description?This is the writer’s description to indicate that this generation is rebelling against parents or society, but they have nothing particular to rebel against. This doesn’t seem very fair because the students aretrying to find work –it is just that they don’t like their parents nagging them. So they are a bit rebellious against their parents, but no more than that.3 Jack “walked into the universi ty careers service and straight back out again”. What does this suggest about Jack’s character?It suggests that Jack is not very determined. As soon as he saw the queue he left without waiting and without trying to ask about jobs or careers.4 Jack spent the summer “hiding”. Hiding from what? Why are quotation marks used?Probably this means he was hiding from the world of work, staying at home and not looking for a job.The quotation marks tell us that he wasn’t literally hiding, he just spent a lot of time at home.5 How is Mrs Goodwin’s point of view affected by herown personal experience?In one way her experience hasn’t affected her attitude: She left school and went immediately to a job (without going to university) and has been working full-time since then and yet she is sympathetic and takes a soft line.6 How is Lindenfield’s point of view affected by her own personal experience?Her personal experience was that she worked in a bar before finding her first proper job as an aerial photographic assistant. So she says such work is a great networking opportunity. If new graduates aregood at such work and bright, cheerful and polite, they will soon be promoted. Her personal experiencethus reflects – or perhaps has created – her point of view.7 What would the first two paragraphs have focused on if they had been presented from the point of viewof the students rather than the parents?The first two paragraphs would have focused on the need for the new graduates to rest for a bit aftertheir hard studies. It is OK for students to relax withthe TV or to socialize with friends for a while, then they can start a serious search for employment after that.Active reading (2)If you ask meReading and understanding2 Choose the best answer to the questions.1 What did the writer want to do after finishing her degree?(a) To do an MA at the London School of Economics.(b) To earn some money to pay off her loan.(c) To start working as soon as possible.(d) To return home and help her mother.2 Why did she ask for a job in The Salisbury?(a) She was hungry and thirsty.(b) She thought it would lead to better things.(c) She was a friend of the landlord.(d) She had the idea when she saw the landlord working.3 What did she buy with her first salary?(a) A bunch of flowers.(b) A CD and a plant for the flat she lived in.(c) A ham sandwich and a glass of beer.(d) She didn’t have any money left after paying thebills.4 Why did Tony give her £20,000?(a) He found out it was her birthday and wanted to help.(b) He trusted her and thought it would help her.(c) He wanted her to leave the pub and work for him.(d) He was secretly in love with her.5 What did she do with the money?(a) She used it to pay for her course at the LSE.(b) She lost a lot of it in the 2008 stock market crash.(c) She invested it and paid back Tony and other investors.(d) She used it to start her own business.6 Why was Tony pleased when she repaid the loan?(a) He had had an accident and needed the money for a wheelchair.(b) It meant that he would be able to see her again.(c) It proved that he had been right to invest in her.(d) She paid back the loan with a lot of interest.3 Work in pairs and answer the questions.What do we know about the writer’s:1 family background?Her mother had worked hard for 15 years to support hereducation but couldn’t afford any furthersupport. Her father wasn’t around most of the time. He didn’t have any money because he spent it on gambling on dog racing or drinking in pubs.2 career as a student?She had a good degree in economics and wanted to study for a masters course at the London School of Economics.3 ambition?She wanted to get a job in finance or investments in London because then she would be able to use her degree.4 appreciation of other people?She appreciated Mike’s friendliness with customers and his skill, and she appreciated Tony as a nice person; later she appreciated the trust of Tony and his friends5 love life?We don’t know much about this, except that she doesn’t like boys to hassle her. She thinks they are immature.6 financial expertise?It must be quite good: She invested the £20,000 and made enough profit to pay the money back withinterest and set up her own company.7 sense of responsibility?She has a strong sense of responsibility because she paid back the money to the investors and paid theman annual interest for the loan.8 philosophy of life?She believes that you should work hard; you may need one or two breaks to succeed but you shouldknow how to use the breaks. You should be honest and responsible with people who trust you.Dealing with unfamiliar words4 Match the words in the box with their definitions.1 funny or entertaining (amusing)2 used for emphasizing that something good has happened, especially because of good luck (fortunately)3 an amount of money that a person, business or country borrows, usually from a bank (loan)4 to take an amount or number from a total (deduct)5 the most exciting, impressive, or interesting part of an event (highlight)6 to show that you und erstand someone’s problems (sympathize)7 needing a lot of time, ability, and energy (demanding) 5 Complete the conversation with the correct form of the words in Activity 4.Teaching tipsWhen Ss have completed the blanks with the correct form of the appropriate words, ask them to practice reading the dialogue, trying to make their reading sound as conversational as possible. Choose a pair to perform their reading to the class. The class listens and gives the performing pair a rating on a scale of 1-10for fluency and naturalness.A After three years at university, I’m now quite heavily in debt.B I (1) sympathize with you, I know what it’s like to have financial problems. But (2) fortunately I didn’t need to take out a student (3) loan when I was at university, because I had a part-time job.A What did you do?B I worked in a restaurant at weekends.A That must have been very (4) demanding.B Yes, it was. I had to get the right balance between work and study. But the other people who worked there were good fun to be with, so it was quite (5) amusing too. The (6) highlight of the weekend was always Saturday night when we worked overtime.A But I don’t expect you made a lot of money?B No, there wasn’t much after they’d (7) deducted tax and pension contributions. But it was enough to keep me going.6 Replace the underlined words with the correct form of the words in the box. You may need to make other changes.1 When I was at college I kept all my personal things in an old cupboard.2 A lot of people who leave university before gettinga degree end up in good jobs.3 I think she’ll get a good degree, but I wouldn’t risk my money on the exact result.4 The money I spent at college was more than what I earned in my part-time job.5 The chances of my being offered a job after thatinterview must be quite remote.6 Our business has done very well since we changed our advertising.7 I think telling the truth and not cheating is always the best policy.Key: (1) belongings (2) dropouts (3) gamble (4) exceeded (5) odds (6) has thrived (7) honesty7 Answer the questions about the words and expressions.1 If something is not all it’s cracked up to be, is it (a) valid and interesting, or (b) just a little bit disappointing?2 If someone keeps banging on about something, are you likely to be (a) interested in, or (b) bored bywhat they say?3 If there is a lot of hassle in your life, are you likely to feel (a) stressed, or (b) relaxed?4 If something happens out of the blue, is it (a) unexpected, or (b) part of your plan?5 If you say you ended up in a particular job, do you suggest that (a) you have fulfilled your ambition, or(b) it happened almost by chance?6 Are the regulars in a pub (a) the customers who comevery often, or (b) the food the pub offers most often?7 If something is dead easy, is it (a) very easy, or (b) not easy at all?8 If you treat someone to something, do you (a) buy something nice for them, or (b) behave badly to them?9 If you cheer a place up, do you (a) make the place look brighter, or (b) make the people in the place happier?Reading and interpreting8 Look at the sentences from the passage and identify the style features.1 Twelve years at school and three years at university, teachers banging on about opportunities in the big wide world beyond our sheltered life as students, and what do I find?This shows the informality of an incomplete sentence in the first part, the use of an informal expression (banging on) and a rhetorical question to the reader (What do I find?)2 Try as I might to stay cheerful, all I ever get ishassle, sometimes with people (especially boys, god, when will they grow up?) …This has the use of an informal word (hassle), an informal exclamation (god) and a question to the reader (When will they grow up?)3 Actually, I had my eye on the course at the London School of Economics (LSE).Here there is a discourse marker typical of speech (Actually) and an informal phrase (had my eye on).4 I kind of understand it, and not just because my degree is in economics.Here “kind of” is a sort of discourse marker of informal speech (showing something is general, vague ornot definite).5 I wanted something in finance and investments, because you know, maybe with a job like that, I could use my degree.This has a discourse marker of informal speech (you know).6 ... it’s true, he really did seem to have three hands. Again here is a discourse marker of informal speech(it’s true).7 I talked to him about ... well, about pretty well everything …This has another discourse marker of informal speech (well) and an informal phrase (pretty well).9 Answer the questions.1 What is the focus of each section of the story? • The first part is the background before the story really begins. It focuses on the writer’s financial problems after graduation and on her need to work since her family cannot support her.• The second part focuses on nice people who help the writer, mainly on Mike who gives her a job in a pub.• In the third part, the focus is on the writer’s sad feelings on her birthday and how she tells Tony her troubles. He talks to some friends and gets her a £20,000 loan to set up a business.• In the fourth part, the writer is looking back some years later. She has her masters degree and has a job in an investment bank and has used the loan to set up her own company. The focus is on the twist inthe story,where the situation is reversed: Tony is disabled after an accident and needs the repaymentof the loan to adapt his house for his disability. • The last two main sentences are also introduced b y “If you ask me,” This is a coda (a finishing phrase or two) about investing in people.2 How does the time context change from one section to the next?The first section gives the background before the writer finds a job, in the past before the time of the story. The second section is in the past, showing how she ot a job. The third section, still in the past, shows the particular event of how she got a lucky break through Tony’s help. In the fourth section, thetime is in the present, with the writer looking back after some years. She tells us what happened and her success after she had received Tony’s loan.3 How much time do you think has elapsed between the third and the final section?At least two years have passed because she worked in the pub for on e year, then studied for her master’s for another year, and then repaid the loan. If you allowtime for her investment to make enough moneyto repay the loan with interest and for the writer to have enough money left to set up a firm, then it could be several further years, say between five and ten years altogether, but as she says “it is still a thriving business”, it is probably ten or fifteen years later or even more.4 How is the relationship between the writer and Tony reversed at the end of the story?When they first meet Tony is working successfully in banking, while the writer is in financial difficulty and in need of money. At the end of the story this situation is reversed: He is disabled and in need of money, while she has become financially successful. The successful one helps the other in both parts ofthe story.5 What is the message presented at the end of the story? The message is that Tony and the writer both say that investing in people gives the best return on an investment that you could hope for. This is their experience, but the writer asks for the readers’ opinionabout this. The final question leaves an open answer and we may disagree if this is not our experience Language in use word formation: compound nouns1 Write the compound nouns which mean:1 a degree which is awarded a first class (a first-class degree)2 work in a hospital (hospital work)3 a ticket for a plane journey (a plane ticket)4 a discount for students (a student discount)5 a pass which allows you to travel on buses (a bus pass)6 a room where an interview is held (an interview room)7 a period spent in training (a training period) word formation: noun phrases2 Write the noun phrases which mean:1 a career which is rewarding from the financial point of view (a financially rewarding career)2 legislation which has been introduced recently (recently introduced legislation)3 instructions which are more complex than usual (unusually complex instructions)4 an institution which is orientated towards academic (academically orientated work)5 work which makes physical demands on you (physically demanding work)6 information which has the potential to be important (potentially important information)7 candidates who have been selected after a careful procedure (carefully selected candidates)8 a coursebook in which everything has been planned beautifully (a beautifully planned textbook)try as … might3 Rewrite the sentences using try as … might .1 I’m trying to fill this last page, but I just can’t think of anything.Try as I might to fill this last page, I just can’t think of anything.2 I try to be friendly with Marta, but she doesn’t seem to respond.Try as I might to be friendly with Marta, she doesn’t seem to respond.3 I try hard to get to sleep, but I can’t help thinkin g about my family.Try as I might to get to sleep, I can’t help thinking about my family.4 He just doesn’t seem to get the promotion he deserves, even though he keeps trying.Try as he might, he just doesn’t seem to get the promotion he deserves. / Try as he might to get the promotion he deserves, he just doesn’t seem to get it.5 I keep trying to remember her name, but my mind isa blank.Try as I might to remember her name, my mind is a blank. given that …4 Rewrite the sentences using given that …1 Since I know several languages, I thought I would look for work abroad.Given that I know several languages, I thought I would look for work abroad.2 Xiao Li has the best qualifications, so she should get the job.Given that Xiao Li has the best qualifications, she should get the job.3 Since we’re all here, I think it would be a good idea to get down to some work.Given that we’re all here, I think it would be a good idea to get down to some work.4 Since it’s rather late, I think we should leave this last task until tomorrow.Given that it’s rather late, I think we should leave this last task until tomorrow.clauses introduced by than5 Rewrite the sentences using clauses introduced by than .1 She’s experienced at giving advice.
