Listen to the recorder and read the following words:

often  perhaps  surprised   ages  kiss  pleased   smile

Every day we meet people. We meet friends in the
street or at school and sometimes we meet new
people.

What do you usually do when you meet
friends? Do you kiss and hug them? Perhaps you
never do that. But in some countries people always
kiss and hug their friends.

Jane: Hi! How are you?! I haven’t seen you for
ages! How’s your family?
Anne: Hello! How are you? You look great! We’re
all fine. How are your parents?
Jane: They’re very well, thank you! Oh, I’m so
surprised to see you here!

What do you do when you meet new people? Are
you friendly? Do you often smile?
Paul: Jake, this is Evan. He’s my cousin.

Jake: Hi, Evan. I’m pleased to meet you.
Evan: How do you do, Jake? Good to meet you
too. I’ve heard a lot about you.

Paul: And this is my cousin, Clara.
Jake: Hi, Clara.
Clara: Hello.

1 I’m really surprised to see you here!

Pronunciation Practice

Grammar Note

Listen and say:

afraid    bark    common     maybe     neck    rub     tail     warning

Karama: Oh no! I’m afraid! I think it’s angry.
Alice: I don’t think so. I think it likes you.
Karama: Really? Do you understand dogs?
Alice: Yes, usually. A lot of animals
communicate with people. But
we don’t always understand what
they’re saying.

Alice: When a dog barks, maybe it’s
angry, but maybe it’s warning
you that it hears something, or it
wants food. A happy dog moves
its tail and its ears are up.
Karama: I see! But I don’t like dogs
very much …
Alice: I prefer cats. Listen! It likes me!

Alice: My favourite animal is the whale.
Whales are big and beautiful, and
they sing!
Karama: What do you mean?
Alice: They make a noise like singing.
That’s how they communicate.

Karama: Cool! Is singing common in the
animal world?
Alice: No, it isn’t.
Karama: I think giraffes are the best. They
rub necks to say ‘You’re my friend.’
Alice: Aw!

Pronunciation practice:

We usually stress the important words in a sentence, such as nouns, verbs, and adjectives.

1 How do dogs say You’re my best friend?
2 How do whales talk to whales who aren’t near?
3 They sing, they dance like bees near flowers.

Grammar note:

Stative verbs:

Verbs not usually used in the present continuous. Some verbs are not used in the present continuous form.

Many are verbs of thinking and liking.We use the present simple even when the action is happening now, because many of these verbs are verbs of thinking, feeling and liking, we often use them to express opinions. 

Examples:

Incorrect: Ahmad is smelling a flower.

Correct: Ahmad smells a flower.

Incorrect: Ali is liking cats.

Correct: Ali likes cats.

Stative verbs lesson:

Grammar note:  

Writing skills: linking words

We use so and because to link two parts of a sentence. So describes the effect of something and because describes the cause.

Examples:

I think whales are fantastic because they’re very big and they can sing!
Whales are big and they can sing so I think they’re fantastic.
My dog understands me more and more because he’s intelligent.
My dog is intelligent so he understands me more and more.
