The materials are the result of eight years of teaching, testing, refinement, and development by teacher writers, with thousands of paying students (approximately 250,000 hours of testing). Product Description English Out There is a set of modern English courses incorporating social interaction with fluent and native English speakers. Each course consists of 60 hours of lesson plans and student worksheets. The courses are designed to give students opportunities for real practice of pre-taught target language—in the real world with native English speakers (in English-speaking countries) and online (in non-English speaking countries). The easy-to-use lesson plans and worksheets enable teachers (both experienced and inexperienced) to effortlessly teach English without worrying about planning, pacing, materials, and fillers. The English Out There materials are also available for self-study. The materials inspire students, boost their confidence, and maintain their motivation levels. It is about a process of noticing, teaching, drilling, manipulating, forming questions, and getting the students comfortable and confident enough to speak to someone using the target language. The whole design of the materials and their implementation makes them highly affordable and ideal for use in all markets, including the developing world. The worksheets are the real practice or 'activity' element of the English Out There courses. The worksheets, which can be available online in PDF form or as printed books, prepare students before they go online to speak to their practice partners using the language they have learned. English Out There encompasses approximately 600 hours of teaching and learning materials that can comprise 22 separate 60-hour course books.

A ‘One to One’ suite of courses for tutors to use with students has just been created from the Self-Study materials. That brings the total number of 60-hour courses ready for e-book and print publication to 38 in total, approximately 840 hours of teaching and learning materials. Product Review English Out There was reviewed in June 2009 by TEFL.net. Here is an excerpt: “There is a growing market for online language teaching and learning. Do a Google search for online materials and you’ll find a motley collection of grammar overviews, games and ideas. What online teachers, myself included, are looking for are easy to access, easy to use, informative and well structured worksheets. Languages Out There has provided this. There are level specific, topic based lessons downloadable at the click of a button or two, using real life language and themes that would appeal to both teenagers and adults looking to improve their general English.

English Out There facilitates focused real practice of targeted language with fluent and native speakers in two distinct and challenging environments, the real world and online. This authentic practice happens as part of every single lesson, immediately after the students have been taught the language. By using their new knowledge instantly, language will be linked to a place, people, faces, sounds, smells and feelings, and will become a memorable and highly individual social experience… students will be able to recall and reproduce the language again in the future. They'll get a buzz from making themselves understood, and the session will introduce them to new language not in the materials but relevant to the whole experience. In situations in which budgets are an issue, the worksheets can be copied and used to teach a whole class and that class can get free, real, and focused practice for the cost of a seat in an Internet café. English Out There is based upon modern psycholinguistic research (Skehan. P. ‘A Cognitive Approach to Language Teaching’, Krashen, S ‘Theory of Second Language Acquisition’, Dornyei + Cziser ‘Ten commandments for motivating language learners: Results of an empirical study’. Language Teaching Research + Constructivist Learning Theory and the Theory of the Computational Mind + Pinker, S. ‘Words and Rules’, ‘The Language Instinct’, The Stuff of Thought’, Kuhl. P ‘A new view of language acquisition’, and most recently, ‘Exposure to Meaning Threats Improves Implicit Learning of an Artificial Grammar’, Travis Proulx and Steven J. Heine, amongst others) that to our knowledge, has not been implemented before in a commercial English language program. FREE product info for Jason West, jason@englishoutthere.com #1506351-Buy 60 hour (20 lesson) courses at http://EnglishOutThere.comEnglish Out There Product Brief Page 4 of 5 It also uses technology in an integrated, innovative, and practical way. Michael Boezi, Editorial Director of Flatworldknowledge.com, one of the leading lights of the revolution in educational publishing, has said, "I love that you are using Skype as a tool here—it's so obvious that I can't believe that no one's thought of this already. Kudos to you guys for making it happen”. Effective Successful use of targeted language with a fluent or native speaker immediately after studying it is proven to boost confidence and motivation levels and can also contribute to greater fluency and acquisition. The English Out There product has been developed as a result of constant teaching and testing with paying students before experienced writers and an experienced ELT editor, Tim Bowen, got the materials ready for publication. The English Out There program is rated highly by students who use it. 63.5% of 726 responses from students who experienced the initial lessons between 2001 and 2003 (upon which the finished product is very closely based) rated the course either “4” or “5” out of 5 for ‘learning.’ And on average, across all course lengths, one out of three of our clients gave us 5 out of 5 for 'learning'. Recommendation figures are extremely close to the percentages of the total numbers of clients 'satisfied' that their learning expectations have been met (93-94% every time -combining rankings 3, 4 and 5). The statistics from this 2002-2003 testing are available here: http://www.languagesoutthere.com/articles/english-out-there-london-course-statistics-2001-to-2003 Positive feedback and high effectiveness statistics have remained consistent. Many teachers and learners have testified to the effectiveness of our materials, and a selection of their comments is on the English Out There website, as are some ‘before and after’ videos of students from 2006. Here is one recent testimonial from Arda Ozdemir, aged 18, a student who finished his course and gave English Out There a 95% approval rating on his leaving questionnaire and wrote: “I’ve never thought that I would enjoy this school this much. I think everyone must try something like that once in a lifetime, I mean, going out for two hours, talking with people, it is just not good for your English, it is also good for your entire life….because communicating with other people is important." FREE product info for Jason West, jason@englishoutthere.com #1506351-Buy 60 hour (20 lesson) courses at http://EnglishOutThere.comEnglish Out There Product Brief Page 5 of 5 Practical English Out There is practical because it is easy to use, in a universal format, flexible, inexpensive, and allows teachers to teach without having to plan a lesson based around the particular language focus or grammar point. Each lesson can be used as a standallon module to highlight, drill, and obtain real practice of language that has been taught as part of a more conventional course. This makes English Out There highly flexible for both teachers and learners. To teach a lesson, a teacher need only copy the student worksheets (which could also be available in book form) and follow the clear teacher’s directions. There are detailed instructions for how to use the materials in both the real world and online. Online tools and websites that are mentioned and explained are of a nature that virtually any learner with a modicum of familiarity with the Internet would be able to use. We believe non-native English speaking teachers in developing countries will find the materials especially useful. English Out There enables students to get focused online practice with fluent and native English speakers for free, online. 70% of Indians between the ages of 16 and 24 use Internet cafés as their only point of online access and the speaking task can be assigned as homework.

What with amazing advances in technology and medicine, not to mention the globalisation of trade and information, it seems to me that the world is about to enter a new technological age. I think that the most important scientific advance in our time is the computer. Computers have automated uncountable operations in our daily lives. For example, rather than travelling to the bank, people will do their banking on the internet. Electronic financial transactions will probably __________ __________. I also think that people will definitely do most of their shopping __________ __________. Nowadays you can buy just about anything online, from cars to houses. Also, as a result of the internet’s networking capability, more and more people will __________ __________. Virtual offices are becoming more and more popular, because the absence of a physical office cuts overheads significantly. In addition to this, everyone will probably have a video phone or will use video conferencing over the internet. Mobile phones and computers will also get __________ __________, making them increasingly portable. Furthermore, with the massive increase in online communities and chat software, including MSN Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and Skype, people are spending more time at home having virtual relationships online. I believe this will certainly have an effect on __________ __________. The internet is a very open network, which makes it vulnerable to hackers and others who want to invade the privacy of those who use it. In response to this I think that the government may have to __________ __________ of the individual. In order to do this, they will have to monitor the usage of the internet more strictly. I can’t help thinking that in fifty years time machines will completely govern our lives.

Ask what the students think about the London congestion charge of £8 per day. Ask if they have such charges in cities in their country. What do they think about the idea of a congestion charge to drive into the centre of a city? Task Sheet 1. Ask the students to read the short article about the congestion charge. Then ask them to tell you what they think about it and if there are any other options to solve the problem. Divide the class into two groups, A and B – one for and one against cars in cities. Ask group A to read Task Sheet 2 and group B to read Task Sheet 3. They should be asked to take notes on pollution, congestion, health, public transport and road building. Ask the students in Group A to compare their notes with each other and the students in Group B to do the same. Then ask them to form A and B pairs with students from the other group and to compare their ideas. Monitor this and have a group discussion at the end. Phrasal verb matching exercise. Ask the students to write example sentences using the verbs. Check in open class. Explain the Out There task.

The rush hour has become the rush day. There is just too much traffic on our roads -and not just in central London where the charge will start. Traffic levels are rising faster in outer London than they are in central London. Before the introduction of the congestion charge, forecasts were predicting there would be 300,000 more cars on London 's roads by 2016. Since the introduction of the charge, Central London has seen a 30% reduction in congestion. Four months after the introduction, a poll showed that 73% of Londoners thought that the congestion charge had been successful at reducing congestion. Now the congestion charge zone has been extended. Many people hope this will bring similar benefits to these areas. Green campaigners insist that congestion charging is not ‘anti-car’. On the contrary, it's pro-London and will be part of the solution to traffic and transport chaos. But congestion charging alone is not enough. People need to be given incentives to change their travel habits and cut car dependency.

Now, people will argue that cars cause pollution. Of course, nobody wants pollution, nobody wants congestion, but it’s simply not fair to put the blame on cars. Cars these day are getting much cleaner, and much quieter and safer too, for that matter. What is mainly responsible for pollution is the diesel engine. Diesels emissions actually contain forty of the most carcinogenic substances known to man, and as we all know, diesel engines are fitted to buses. As for congestion, well, no doubt you’ve all heard nightmare scenarios of grid locked roads, traffic at a permanent standstill, but this could easily be solved by building more roads where they’re needed. And it’s simply not true to say that cars clog up city centres, because most of the day they’re parked out of the way in car parks. It is misconceived policy by planners, and a shortage of roads, that are causing the problems, not cars. And let’s not forget the financial benefits cars bring to the country. The car industry provides some ten thousand jobs, not to mention the thirty odd million pounds in revenue from car tax on fuel. And finally there’s the issue of convenience. The fact is that public transport does not and cannot meet everyone’s transport needs. People need to travel in and out of cities at different times and in different directions, and there are people living in the country who have no alternative but to use a car. Quite frankly, it is astonishing that the anti-car lobby should expect car-owners to spend thousands of pounds on buying their cars, taxing and insuring them, and leave them at home and spend a small fortune on an inadequate public transport system that takes them nowhere near where they want to go. The simple fact of the matter is that cars are here to stay. We like them and we’ve got used to having them. You can’t stop people using their cars. Ban them from the city centre and they’ll simple go elsewhere. Instead of declaring war on cars, what we need to do is to accommodate them and come up with creative ideas for making life easier for the motorist.

Clearly the answer is yes, on a number of counts First and foremost, cars are responsible for the deaths of 100,000 people a year, and leave 50,000 people seriously injured. Secondly, on pollution grounds alone, the car poses a major threat to our planet and our health. Exhaust emissions from motor vehicles are hastening the deaths of up to 24,000 people each year, and indeed forcing many others with respiratory illnesses to stay indoors for large parts of the year. We can no longer open our windows, and instead have to use air conditioning, which in turn affects the climate. Then there’s the issue of congestion. Cars not only clog up the streets and make life unpleasant, they are even failing to transport us quickly to where we want to go. Rush hour traffic jams cause thousands of motorists to arrive late at work and in a state of stress, and at their worst can lead to road rage. Cars also impose a financial burden in terms of health care; the millions of pounds of taxpayers money spent on treating people with respiratory illness and the victims of car accidents; and in terms of congestion which is costing the economy 15 billion pounds every year in London alone. Finally, we need to think of the effects that cars are having on the environment. There is no doubt that cars are starting to destroy our entire way of life. We are ripping out the heart of our historic cites to build more roads and ugly car parks; and we are cutting through whole swathes of unspoilt countryside to create nosy pollutionprodducin motorways. Because of cars, huge out-of-town shopping centres have grown up that are killing the corner shop, taking the life out of our city centres, and we are making life increasingly difficult for the old, the poor, the disabled and indeed for anyone who’s not a car-owner. What we should be doing is using public transport more and using our cars less, for the sake of our health and that of the planet.

Ask them why and what makes the things annoying. Discuss how language is used to make extreme statements and used for maximum effect (i.e. emotional and comedic impact). Task Sheet 1. Ask the students to write some sentences complaining about something or someone that they don’t like. Get students to read them out loud. Write the best ones on the board and look at how strong (or weak) the language is. Introduce the verb ‘to rant’ and the concept of hyperbole. Students read the three rants and underline the use of hyperbole. Tell students not to check vocabulary yet. Vocabulary 1. In pairs, students take one box each, A or B, and to try to match words with meanings. They then check each other’s work. Vocabulary 2. Ask the students to work alone and fill in the gaps in the statements using vocab from the articles. Ask students to rewrite their previous complaints in the style of the articles and using strong hyperbole. Check for understanding and improvement.

Try to write a few sentences explaining what you don’t like and why? Try to be very expressive.

(Littauer, Dictionary of Literary Terms) ‘I’ve told you a million times to stop exaggerating’ In pairs read the three articles below carefully. Try to imagine the people and things they write about? • Do you know what they are referring to? • Think about the criticism you have just written and how it compares to the language below? • Think about how extreme the language is? Is it clever, funny, obscene or just stupid? • Try to underline as many examples of hyperbole as you can?

Mud. Rain. Inconvenience. Any form of discomfort whatsoever. Loud noises. People. People’s friends. People standing next to other people, with yet more people in between. Drunks bumping into you and being sick down your leg. Poorly maintained public toilets. Camping. You’ll find all these things and more at the Glastonbury festival, which is why it has always struck me as heck on earth. A long weekend in a wet field surrounded by students on cider, thirty-something Faithless fans, and everyone I avoided at school. That’s not a holiday. That’s a penance. On top of that, I’d heard my share of off-putting Glastonbury myths. Tents bobbing in a mud slide. Widespread trench foot. A man on ketamine eating his own hand. One of my friends swore blind she knew a man who’d been sitting in a Portaloo when some passing japester decided to tip it over, door side down, leaving him trapped inside a coffin full of foaming crap for 15 horrifying minutes; it went in his eyes and mouth. He got dysentery. In summary: pretty far removed from my idea of fun. Consequently, I’ve never been. Until now. I got talked into it by The Guardian. Advertising rant, Julia Raeside Saturday June 9, 2007, The Guardian Advertisers used to tell young women that if they smelt nice, young men would give them flowers. But now they’re telling chaps that a spray of sickly guff in a tin will have chicks pumping their pelvises at them before they can say, ‘How do you do? My name is Chris. Would you like a spritzer?’ If ‘Chris’ spent less time in front of the mirror, dousing himself in Lynx Knob, he might know there’s very little pulling power to be gained from something which costs £2.50. The latest Lynx campaign depicts a series of women who smell Lynx and immediately dry hump the men wearing it. An excess of Lynx usually causes people to move downstairs on the bus, not rise from their seats and start air-shagging. And each display of primal groin grinding is preceded by the instantly wearing catchphrase, ‘Bom chicka wah wah’, sung to a tune as instantaneously unshakeable as the closing bars of the Grange Hill theme tune. Consider your internal jukebox well and truly violated for the rest of your life. The most irksome ad sees a supermarket drone going about his business in the perishables aisle when a leggy model with an Afro sniffs his musk and loses all sense of propriety. She puts on the full tail-feather display, jiggling her bumper hither and yon while he stares at her arse like an astonished goat. He doesn’t look aroused – just afraid. It’s not chewing gum or jeans or a tin of man perfume that any of us actually use to get each other into bed. It’s alcohol. A campaign of adverts for strong cider where people sniff a pint and start rutting on the pub floor would be nearer the truth.

A simpering, say-anything, dough-faced, preposterous waddling idiot with a feeble, insincere voice and an irritating tendency to squat near the top of opinion polls. I don’t like him. And I’ve got a terrible feeling he’ll be prime minister one day. Brrr. These are unthinking snap judgments, based on little more than his media profile – but since he appears to consist of little more than a media profile designed to appeal to unthinking snap judgments, that seems fair enough. On that basis, let’s stick to gut instincts, shall we? There is nothing to him. He is like a hollow Easter egg with no bag of sweets inside. Cameron will say absolutely anything if he thinks it might get him elected. If a shock poll was published saying 99% of the British public were enthusiastic paedophiles, he would drive through the streets in an open-top bus surrounded by the Mini Pops*. He’s nothing. He’s no one. *Child pop band.

From the balcony I have a view of the sea and from the kitchen window I can see Table Mountain. You know that I came here to continue my English studies.

I’m also going to try to get a part–time job in a café or restaurant because then I can speak English a lot more. I’m going to listen to the radio a lot because I still find listening to English quite difficult. I’m going to read too. I’m going to read a newspaper every day and I’m also going to buy some novels and read them in English. Do you know any good English novels? I’m also going to write a weblog in English – that’s a good way to practise my written English. I hope you’re going to read it on the internet! Hope to hear from you soon, Carlos 4. 1. F; 2. T; 3.

What is the most important thing in this sentence; the aeroplane or the Wright brothers? Answer: the aeroplane. We know it is important because it is at the beginning of the sentence.

We could also make the time the most important thing by putting it at the front of the sentence and adding a comma, like this: When he drives to work Richard listens to music in his car time subject verb object place We could also make the place the most important thing by putting it at the front of the sentence and adding a comma, like this: In his car, Richard listens to music when he drives to work. place subject verb object time Exercise 2 Make the place or the time the most important thing in the following sentences (don’t forget to add a comma): 1. Maria buys a chicken in the market every Sunday. (place) 2. John spends over a hundred dollars in the casinos every time he goes to Las Vegas. (time) 3. Ricardo has never used a computer at home up to now. (place) 4. Lucy takes the bus to the centre of town after work (time) 5. Russell had a party in his house last week. (place) 6. Claire reads a book in bed each night. (time) The way to make the object the most important thing in the sentence is by moving it to the front of the sentence and by changing the grammar. Look at the example below for the structure. The Wright brothers invented the aeroplane in 1903. subject verb object time This sentence is in the past and the subject is at the beginning. The aeroplane was invented by the Wright brothers in 1903. object be verb subject time Now the sentence is still in the past but the object is at the beginning. This is called the passive voice.

Reproduction in whole or in part prohibited except as may be provided under the terms of the copyright notice or a Licence Agreement. www.languagesoutthere.com/static/termsandconditions SS3.19 p3 Task Sheet 3 Exercise 3 Try changing these sentences so that the object is at the beginning of the sentence. Use the verb ‘be’ in the correct tense, i.e. is/are = present; was/were = past: 1. The factory workers made the car in one day. 2. John paints the house every summer. 3. The baker cooked the bread in an oven. 4. The cleaning service cleans the houses every Friday. 5. The director closed the school early. 6. The pilot flies the planes at over 1,000 kph. For some of these sentences it isn’t always necessary to say how the subject is. In the first sentence, it is obvious that cars are made by factory workers so it isn’t necessary to say it. In the second sentence, it would be sensible to include John because he is important. It is your choice to include the subject or not when you use the passive voice. Exercise 4 Below is a description of the process of making bread. Put it in the right order and change the verbs into the passive voice: 1. The wheat (cut down) and (dry). 2. The dough (bake) in the oven to make bread. 3. The wheat seeds (plant) in the fields. 4. The wheat (grow) to full size. 5. The flour (use) to make dough. 6. The dried wheat (grind) into flour.

However, women who are career high-flyers do substantially less than women in lower-paid work, the study shows. Every £10,000 increase in a woman’s annual income reduces the time she spends on chores every week by nearly two hours. An Oxford University researcher, Man-yee Kan, discovered that women still did the bulk of the housework – on average more than 18 hours a week, compared with about six hours for the average man. The survey, of 2,000 couples, did not count childcare as housework, but looked at the division of labour in unpaid household work such as cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping. Ms Kan found that men were not much more inclined to pitch in around the home if their partners worked long hours. The factors which did make a difference were the woman’s earning power, how educated she was, and how young. This was because a higher income gave a woman more bargaining power in the family, according to Ms Kan. Being able to buy more household goods did not make a difference, she said. “Most of the studies since the introduction of new technology have found that machines don’t help to reduce workload. If you raise efficiency, you raise people’s expectations. If you have a washing machine, you wash more often rather than once a week.” However, educated women tended to do less housework than women who had left school at 16, the study showed. Working women with degrees spent about two hours less on chores than working women in households where both partners had only O levels or CSEs. Ms Kan suggested this was because bettereduccate women had a more egalitarian approach to how much of the housework their men ought to do. The same applied to younger couples. Ms Kan, who presents her study at a conference at the Institute for Social and Economic Research, University of Essex, today, said: “Men are taking a much more egalitarian attitude, but it seems that women are still doing the lion’s share of the housework. “The attitude has changed, but now we need to say to men – if you think this way, then go and do it.” Ms Kan said previous studies had showed that women tended to do the routine jobs around the house, such as ironing, while men opted for the non-routine work. The writer Fay Weldon, in whose household the division of labour includes her husband taking out the rubbish while she cleans up the cat sick, said that such studies missed the fact that housework could be fun. “More women like doing housework than men. It’s a nesting instinct. Some women don’t and don’t do any, but more men don’t care what the house looks like. Women who are better off just employ other women to do the housework – the rich have to find the energy to earn more money. The idea is that housework is a terrible burden, but it is just something you do to make your house look nice.” FREE product info for Jason West, jason@englishoutthere.com #1506351-Buy 60 hour (20 lesson) courses at http://EnglishOutThere.com© 2009 Languages Out There and its licensors.

Before you read, think about how much of our behaviour is based on instinct. Make notes below about what you think are good and bad instincts, and then decide whether these instincts are mainly human, or mainly animal. good instincts bad instincts human? animal? Now think about these questions: 1. What similarities do you think there are between humans and animals? 2. Can you think of ways in which people act like animals in the workplace? 3. What can we learn from studying animals? Key words Now have a look at these key words from the article. First, match each word with its meaning, and then try to anticipate how they are connected with the title of the article. Word Meaning 1. predator a. cruel, not considering other people’s feelings 2. kleptocracy b. people who don’t believe something is true 3. gene c. situation where lots of people claim money for damage, injury or death 4. ruthless d. an animal that kills and eats other animals 5. advocating e. a system, country or company run by thieves 6. sceptics f. helping members of your family to get a job or promotion 7. liability nightmare g. unit in a cell, inherited from our parents, controlling the way we develop 8. nepotism h. strongly supporting Now, look at Task Sheet 2. Read the article, see how those words were connected, and check whether it mentions any of your ideas.

But what's the best way to do it? Darwinism suggests that only the strongest survive. So, should we try to become the most aggressive predator? Or does nature teach us to be more subtle and sophisticated? I believe nature built us to be nice. Doing favours, sharing food, making your colleagues feel good with kind words and hot gossip, building relationships -these aren't just our best tools for getting ahead, they also come from the natural world. The stereotypical Darwinian aggressor supposedly thinks only about accumulating resources. But highly effective apes know it's often smarter to give them away. That doesn't mean it's all peaceful in nature. There is plenty of conflict and fighting for power. But by understanding how other species manage the tricky balance between conflict and cooperation, we can become more effective at work. The trouble is, not everyone thinks this way. In the US, we had a kleptocracy called Enron where executives built a culture based on stealing from grandmothers -and they justified it with one of the most misinterpreted ideas in modern science. Enron's chief executive was Jeff Skilling, and his favourite book was The Selfish Gene, in which Oxford biologist Richard Dawkins argues that we are a product of our genes, and that these genes have survived by being as ruthless as Chicago gangsters. Dawkins simply meant that the main purpose of a gene is to get as many copies of itself as possible into the next generation, in whatever way it can. He has protested ever since that he never meant to suggest that selfish behaviour was the best way to do that. But Enron executives were delighted with the idea of our innate selfishness. To be fair, plenty of other writers also seemed to be advocating selfish behaviour. Economist Milton Friedman was famous for declaring that the "social responsibility of business is to increase its profits". But Skilling interpreted Darwinian to mean that selfishness was basically good, even for the victims, because it weeded out the losers and forced the survivors to become strong. Well, here's where Skilling went wrong. Genes may be selfish. But people have evolved to be social. And these days, the Darwinian view includes an understanding that cooperation and even unselfishness are part of our genetic heritage. It's true: you can get ahead in the short-term by being cruel, but groups have a habit of punishing openly selfish or anti-social behaviour. Most of us realize quite soon that we are more likely to succeed over the long term when we learn to control our violent egos and play along with the group. And yes, there are still executives and managers who build careers on the motto: "Never apologise, never explain." But apologies are serious business. Managers wouldn't have to spend 42% of their time resolving workplace disputes if their fellow workers understood the natural healing power of the words "I'm sorry". An apology can also miraculously transform a client's hostility into honey. For instance, there's a hospital in Kentucky that has a policy of admitting medical errors, apologising for them, and initiating a claim -even when the family itself doesn’t know that a patient's death was due to medical error. Sceptics predicted that this kind of "extreme honesty" would be a liability nightmare. But legal costs at that hospital are now among the lowest in the system.

Among baboons and vervet monkeys, nepotism comes naturally. High-ranking elders routinely interfere at playtime to ensure that Baby Baboon and Little Vervet get their way. So the new generation grows up secure in the knowledge that they will be looked after, and the monkey dynasty gets passed from one generation to the next. And what's wrong with a little nepotism? Everybody does it. Any monkey would understand why Rupert Murdoch gave his kids top jobs at the company he built. Nepotism evolved partly because it's a shortcut to trust and cooperation. And it may still work. A study in the Journal of Finance found that family-controlled public companies perform significantly better than non-family companies. Were any of your ideas mentioned in the article? General understanding Now, decide whether the following statements are true or false, according to the text. If they are false, say why: 1. Most people think animals are only concerned with themselves. 2. Some wild animals can be generous. 3. Richard Dawkins suggested that the company ‘Enron’ should steal from grandmothers. 4. Dawkins thought that genes are programmed to reproduce themselves. 5. He was not alone in his ideas. 6. The writer thinks that people are basically selfish. 7. You can get ahead forever by being nasty. 8. The Kentucky hospital’s policy of apologising was very expensive. 9. Adult baboons often help their children. 10. Helping your relatives get jobs is always a bad thing. Conversation Preparation Prepare your Out There exercise. Plan some questions to ask your conversation partners about attitudes to animal instincts, particularly in relation to selfishness at work. Feel free to talk about any of the ideas in the article, or to use these prompts to help you, if you like: I’d like to ask you what you think about animal instincts; is that OK? …you think human behaviour… instinctive? …basically just animals? …good instincts? …bad instincts? What about… at work? …in business… need… aggressive? …cooperation… good for business? What about… nepotism? …think this… human or animal behaviour? …ever been helped… a relative? …helped a relative yourself? …good thing? …examples where it worked well or badly? Well done!

I’m also going to write a weblog in English – that’s a good way to practise my written English. I hope you’re going to read it on the internet! Hope to hear from you soon, Carlos 4. 1. F; 2. T; 3.

What is the most important thing in this sentence; the aeroplane or the Wright brothers? Answer: the aeroplane. We know it is important because it is at the beginning of the sentence.

We could also make the time the most important thing by putting it at the front of the sentence and adding a comma, like this: When he drives to work Richard listens to music in his car time subject verb object place We could also make the place the most important thing by putting it at the front of the sentence and adding a comma, like this: In his car, Richard listens to music when he drives to work. place subject verb object time Exercise 2 Make the place or the time the most important thing in the following sentences (don’t forget to add a comma): 1. Maria buys a chicken in the market every Sunday. (place) 2. John spends over a hundred dollars in the casinos every time he goes to Las Vegas. (time) 3. Ricardo has never used a computer at home up to now. (place) 4. Lucy takes the bus to the centre of town after work (time) 5. Russell had a party in his house last week. (place) 6. Claire reads a book in bed each night. (time) The way to make the object the most important thing in the sentence is by moving it to the front of the sentence and by changing the grammar. Look at the example below for the structure. The Wright brothers invented the aeroplane in 1903. subject verb object time This sentence is in the past and the subject is at the beginning. The aeroplane was invented by the Wright brothers in 1903. object be verb subject time Now the sentence is still in the past but the object is at the beginning. This is called the passive voice.

Reproduction in whole or in part prohibited except as may be provided under the terms of the copyright notice or a Licence Agreement. www.languagesoutthere.com/static/termsandconditions OO3.19 p3 Task Sheet 3 Exercise 3 Try changing these sentences so that the object is at the beginning of the sentence. Use the verb ‘be’ in the correct tense, i.e. is/are = present; was/were = past: 1. The factory workers made the car in one day. 2. John paints the house every summer. 3. The baker cooked the bread in an oven. 4. The cleaning service cleans the houses every Friday. 5. The director closed the school early. 6. The pilot flies the planes at over 1,000 kph. For some of these sentences it isn’t always necessary to say how the subject is. In the first sentence, it is obvious that cars are made by factory workers so it isn’t necessary to say it. In the second sentence, it would be sensible to include John because he is important. It is your choice to include the subject or not when you use the passive voice. Exercise 4 Below is a description of the process of making bread. Put it in the right order and change the verbs into the passive voice: 1. The wheat (cut down) and (dry). 2. The dough (bake) in the oven to make bread. 3. The wheat seeds (plant) in the fields. 4. The wheat (grow) to full size. 5. The flour (use) to make dough. 6. The dried wheat (grind) into flour.

However, women who are career high-flyers do substantially less than women in lower-paid work, the study shows. Every £10,000 increase in a woman’s annual income reduces the time she spends on chores every week by nearly two hours. An Oxford University researcher, Man-yee Kan, discovered that women still did the bulk of the housework – on average more than 18 hours a week, compared with about six hours for the average man. The survey, of 2,000 couples, did not count childcare as housework, but looked at the division of labour in unpaid household work such as cooking, cleaning and grocery shopping. Ms Kan found that men were not much more inclined to pitch in around the home if their partners worked long hours. The factors which did make a difference were the woman’s earning power, how educated she was, and how young. This was because a higher income gave a woman more bargaining power in the family, according to Ms Kan. Being able to buy more household goods did not make a difference, she said. “Most of the studies since the introduction of new technology have found that machines don’t help to reduce workload. If you raise efficiency, you raise people’s expectations. If you have a washing machine, you wash more often rather than once a week.” However, educated women tended to do less housework than women who had left school at 16, the study showed. Working women with degrees spent about two hours less on chores than working women in households where both partners had only O levels or CSEs. Ms Kan suggested this was because bettereduccate women had a more egalitarian approach to how much of the housework their men ought to do. The same applied to younger couples. Ms Kan, who presents her study at a conference at the Institute for Social and Economic Research, University of Essex, today, said: “Men are taking a much more egalitarian attitude, but it seems that women are still doing the lion’s share of the housework. “The attitude has changed, but now we need to say to men – if you think this way, then go and do it.” Ms Kan said previous studies had showed that women tended to do the routine jobs around the house, such as ironing, while men opted for the non-routine work. The writer Fay Weldon, in whose household the division of labour includes her husband taking out the rubbish while she cleans up the cat sick, said that such studies missed the fact that housework could be fun. “More women like doing housework than men. It’s a nesting instinct. Some women don’t and don’t do any, but more men don’t care what the house looks like. Women who are better off just employ other women to do the housework – the rich have to find the energy to earn more money. The idea is that housework is a terrible burden, but it is just something you do to make your house look nice.” FREE product info for Jason West, jason@englishoutthere.com #1506351-Buy 60 hour (20 lesson) courses at http://EnglishOutThere.com© 2009 Languages Out There and its licensors.

Before you read, think about how much of our behaviour is based on instinct. Make notes below about what you think are good and bad instincts, and then decide whether these instincts are mainly human, or mainly animal. good instincts bad instincts human? animal? Now think about these questions: 1. What similarities do you think there are between humans and animals? 2. Can you think of ways in which people act like animals in the workplace? 3. What can we learn from studying animals? Key words Now have a look at these key words from the article. First, match each word with its meaning, and then try to anticipate how they are connected with the title of the article. Word Meaning 1. predator a. cruel, not considering other people’s feelings 2. kleptocracy b. people who don’t believe something is true 3. gene c. situation where lots of people claim money for damage, injury or death 4. ruthless d. an animal that kills and eats other animals 5. advocating e. a system, country or company run by thieves 6. sceptics f. helping members of your family to get a job or promotion 7. liability nightmare g. unit in a cell, inherited from our parents, controlling the way we develop 8. nepotism h. strongly supporting Now, look at Task Sheet 2.

But what's the best way to do it? Darwinism suggests that only the strongest survive. So, should we try to become the most aggressive predator? Or does nature teach us to be more subtle and sophisticated? I believe nature built us to be nice. Doing favours, sharing food, making your colleagues feel good with kind words and hot gossip, building relationships -these aren't just our best tools for getting ahead, they also come from the natural world. The stereotypical Darwinian aggressor supposedly thinks only about accumulating resources. But highly effective apes know it's often smarter to give them away. That doesn't mean it's all peaceful in nature. There is plenty of conflict and fighting for power. But by understanding how other species manage the tricky balance between conflict and cooperation, we can become more effective at work. The trouble is, not everyone thinks this way. In the US, we had a kleptocracy called Enron where executives built a culture based on stealing from grandmothers -and they justified it with one of the most misinterpreted ideas in modern science. Enron's chief executive was Jeff Skilling, and his favourite book was The Selfish Gene, in which Oxford biologist Richard Dawkins argues that we are a product of our genes, and that these genes have survived by being as ruthless as Chicago gangsters. Dawkins simply meant that the main purpose of a gene is to get as many copies of itself as possible into the next generation, in whatever way it can. He has protested ever since that he never meant to suggest that selfish behaviour was the best way to do that. But Enron executives were delighted with the idea of our innate selfishness. To be fair, plenty of other writers also seemed to be advocating selfish behaviour. Economist Milton Friedman was famous for declaring that the "social responsibility of business is to increase its profits". But Skilling interpreted Darwinian to mean that selfishness was basically good, even for the victims, because it weeded out the losers and forced the survivors to become strong. Well, here's where Skilling went wrong. Genes may be selfish. But people have evolved to be social. And these days, the Darwinian view includes an understanding that cooperation and even unselfishness are part of our genetic heritage. It's true: you can get ahead in the short-term by being cruel, but groups have a habit of punishing openly selfish or anti-social behaviour. Most of us realize quite soon that we are more likely to succeed over the long term when we learn to control our violent egos and play along with the group. And yes, there are still executives and managers who build careers on the motto: "Never apologise, never explain." But apologies are serious business. Managers wouldn't have to spend 42% of their time resolving workplace disputes if their fellow workers understood the natural healing power of the words "I'm sorry". An apology can also miraculously transform a client's hostility into honey. For instance, there's a hospital in Kentucky that has a policy of admitting medical errors, apologising for them, and initiating a claim -even when the family itself doesn’t know that a patient's death was due to medical error. Sceptics predicted that this kind of "extreme honesty" would be a liability nightmare. But legal costs at that hospital are now among the lowest in the system.

Among baboons and vervet monkeys, nepotism comes naturally. High-ranking elders routinely interfere at playtime to ensure that Baby Baboon and Little Vervet get their way. So the new generation grows up secure in the knowledge that they will be looked after, and the monkey dynasty gets passed from one generation to the next. And what's wrong with a little nepotism? Everybody does it. Any monkey would understand why Rupert Murdoch gave his kids top jobs at the company he built. Nepotism evolved partly because it's a shortcut to trust and cooperation. And it may still work. A study in the Journal of Finance found that family-controlled public companies perform significantly better than non-family companies. Were any of your ideas mentioned in the article? General understanding Now, decide whether the following statements are true or false, according to the text. If they are false, say why: 1. Most people think animals are only concerned with themselves. 2. Some wild animals can be generous. 3. Richard Dawkins suggested that the company ‘Enron’ should steal from grandmothers. 4. Dawkins thought that genes are programmed to reproduce themselves. 5. He was not alone in his ideas. 6. The writer thinks that people are basically selfish. 7. You can get ahead forever by being nasty. 8. The Kentucky hospital’s policy of apologising was very expensive. 9. Adult baboons often help their children. 10. Helping your relatives get jobs is always a bad thing. Conversation Preparation Prepare your Out There exercise. Plan some questions to ask your conversation partners about attitudes to animal instincts, particularly in relation to selfishness at work. Feel free to talk about any of the ideas in the article, or to use these prompts to help you, if you like: I’d like to ask you what you think about animal instincts; is that OK? …you think human behaviour… instinctive? …basically just animals? …good instincts? …bad instincts? What about… at work? …in business… need… aggressive? …cooperation… good for business? What about… nepotism? …think this… human or animal behaviour? …ever been helped… a relative? …helped a relative yourself? …good thing? …examples where it worked well or badly? Well done!
