Thursday Homework and link

First, congratulations to Catalina on an excellent presentation.  It sparked a lot of conversation and reminded me of an interesting article.  Here's the link for it, "Julian Simon, Doomslayer."  If you're intersted in the environment and what will happen to the earth in the future, I recommend that you read it.  It goes against conventional wisdom.  It could change your life, or at least how you think about the world!

Don't forget to come on time for SungHo's presentation tomorrow!  I look forward to it!

Today, we studied Focus 3 and 4.  The homework for tonight is exercise 6, page 413-414 plus the handout.  As we have several students who were and will be out, I'll try to reproduce it below.

Read the following short dialogues and underline all theplaces where you think it is possible to use the emphatic do.  Rewrite those sentences with an appropriate form of the do verb.

Example:     Zara: It's so nice of you to invite us over.
                     Yoko: Welcome to our home.  Sit down.
                                    Do sit down.

1  Mike: Did you remember to pick up some milk?    Meg:  Yes, I remembered.

2  Joey: I didn't take the money on the table.   Meg:  Oh, then who took the money?

3   Ole:  Have you heard that Robert managed to pass the chemistry exam?
     Nita:  I'm glad he passed.  Now he won't have any trouble graduating.

4   Paula: It seems everyone in Darren's family has a major problem.
   Rod: Yes, he has a dysfunctional family.

5   Fatima:  Your brother's on vacation, isn't he?  Have you received a card from him?
   Aziz:  No, he never sends cards.

6   Dieter:  How did you like the new Indian restaurant?
    Hilda:  Not bad.  Even though I don't usually like spicy food, I found the flavors intriguing.

7   Esta:   May I take a walk with you in your garden?
                Of course.  It's a bit wet after the rain.  Watch out for the puddles.

8   Yena:  We just got a huge fine from the tax office.  They said we didn't pay our last installment.
   Sarala:  Of course.  I paid it.  I even have a receipt.

9   Nick:  I like watching golf on TV.    Jill:  You've got to be kidding!
     Nick:  No, I really enjoy the suspense and the skill that you see.

10   Carla:  Did you hear that the Bonington expedition made it safely to the top of Nanga Parbat?
      Al:  That's great news!  When I heard there were storms, I doubted they would make it.


Ex 4

Read the following story.  Then rewrite the story, replacing underlined phrases with phrases using no.  The first one has been done for you as an example.  

Cinderella--A Fractured Fairy Tale.

   Poor Cinderella was in a bad position.  She had to work all day for her stepfather and ugly stepsisters without a break.  She didn't have time to take care of herself, and she didn't have any comforts.  She didn't have a warm room or soft bed to sleep in.
   She could have run away from her mean stepmother and stepsisters, but then she would really have been in trouble because she would have been without food, a home, money, or a job.  It seemed as though she didn't have any way out.
   On the night of the royal ball, Cinderella was left by herself without friends.    She didn't have a dress or a ride to the ball.
   Suddenly, her fairy godmother appeared and told her not to worry because she could give her a dress.  Cinderella said, "No thank you."
   "What?"  said the fairy godmother.  "If you don't go to the ball, you won't meet your handsome prince and get married; you won't have a husband.
   "If it's OK with you, Fiary Godmother," said Cinderella, "I don't want a husband.  I'd rather have a good education so I can get a better job."
   The fairy godmother agreed with Cinderella and gave her the money to go to school instead of a dress.  Cinderella isn't a princess now, she's a lawyer fighting child abuse.
