I ENGLEZAPENTRUINCEPATORI In eeonomia ~i soeietatea romfmeasea sehimbarile survenite in ultimii ani au adus eu ele multe probleme, dar ~i multe oportunitati. Pentru a putea profita de aeestea, este foarte importanta eunoa~terea unei limbi de eireulatie internationala. In domeniul relatiilor eeonomice internationale, al turismului ~i al eulturii, eunoa~terea limbii engleze este indispensabila. De aeeea, in cele mai multe tari europene limba engleza se preda deja la nivelul institutiilor primare de edueatie. Metoda introdusa de EUROCOR, se utilizeaza de mult timp cu sueees in tarile vest-europene ~i in Statele Unite. Dupa cateva. Ieqii ~i dumneavoastra yeti eonstata ea obtineti rezultate rapide eu eforturi relativ miei. Este de ajuns sa invatati zilnie 15 minute. Nu va pierdeti rabdarea in eursul rcpetarii sistematice a excrcitiilor ~i atunei Yeti progresa in mod garantat. Pareurgeti odata eel mult 0 jumatate de lcqie. Fieeare parte a unei leqii contine 0 cantitate suficienta de material nou pentru a exersa. Cursul pentru incepatori este alcatuit din 32 de leqii grupate in 16 caiete. Fieeare Iectie are doua parti. In prima parte a fiecarei Jectii, se introduce materia noua, pentru a carei intelegere ~i fixare va sunt prop use diferite tipuri de exercitii. Partea a doua a celei de a doua leqii nu cuprinde euno~tinte noi, aiei fiind inserate doar exereitii de verifieare. Fieeare leqie se termina eu reeapitularea noilor reguli gramatieale ~i eu tema pentru acas3. La snir~itul caietului de curs se afla voeabularul introdus in leqiile respective eontinand euvintele ~i expresiile noi, prezentate in ordine alfabetica, precum ~i transcrierea lor fonetica. \

Atunei cand rezolvati pentru prima data un exereitiu, nu folositi de la ineeput filtrul ro~u. Folosirca aeestuia are sens doar daea ati repetat exercitiul deja de trei-patru ori. Daea tcxtul seris cu litere ro~ii este aeoperit eu filtrul ro~u, raspunsul eoreet devine invizibil iar dumneavoastra va trcbui sa apclati la euno~tintele nou introduse. Prin indepartarea filtrului, puteti veri fica daea ati rezolvat eoreet exereitiul. Atat filtrul ro~u cat ~i easeta care va este trimisa impreuna eu eaietul de eurs va vor aj uta sa verifieati pronuntia cuvintelor invatate. Profesorii no~tri sunt gata sa va aeorde tot sprijinul ~i va a~teapta sa deveniti cursant EUROCOR.

INDRUMAR PENTRU REZOLVAREA TEMEI 1.

Pentru a va u~ura invatarea, pe marginea fiecarei pagini am plasat 0 serie de simboluri grafice. Acestea vor indica diverse genuri de exercitii sau seqiunile de gramatica, fiindu-va astfel mai u~or sa Ie localizati sau sa Ie recapitulati.

Pe marginea paginilor yeti intiHni urmatoarele semne:

In final, 0 remarca. La radio ~i televizor auziti adesea conversatii sau ciintece in limba engleza. Uneori pronuntia acestora difera de ceea ce va propunem noi in cadrul lectiilor. Aceasta se intiimpla deoarece exista diferenle de pronunlie intre engleza vorbita in Marea Britanie, in SUA ~i cea din Australia.

" " PARTEA INTAl

LECTIA 1 ,

Cititi cu atentie transerierea fonetiea, tiparita eu ro~u, aflata in paranteze drepte. Pentru sunetele care nu exista in limba romana, folosim semne speciale: shopping street

- strada cu magazine

- eumpariituri shopping > [~opin(g)] Complexul de sunete n(g) eorespunde sunetelor similare din limba romfma, dar "g" se aude slab, ca in euvantul romanesc "lung". in cuvintele din Jimba engleza formate din mai muite silabe, una dintre silabeeste accentuata. In transcrierea fonetica, vocala scrisa cu litera ingro~ata semnaleaza silaba accentuata: > [~opin(g)). > [~op]

,,0"

- magazin, praviHie

scurt. Se roste~te ,,0" cu deschiderea gurii ca i > [stri:t]

-----·TU

- strada

Consoana [r] din limba engleza difera de "r"-ul romanesc. Rostiti "r" lara sa atingeti cerulgurii cu Jimba ~i lara vibrarea limbii. Astfel, obtineti un "r" englezesc. Semnul [i:] se pronunta ca un "i" lung, ca in cuvintele "vii, mii": >[strit]. railway station

- gara, statie

- cale ferata railway > [rei] L1 ei] Semnul fonetic [U] indica litera "w" care, de obicei, nu se pronunta. In cazurile In care se pronunta, rotunjim gura ca pentru "u" ~i spunem "v": >[ rei! liei]. station

> [stei~n]

- statie

Semnul fonetic [i] indica un sunet moale, asemanator grupului de vocale "iu", "ea", "ei" din limba romana. Se pronunta ca primul sunet din cuvin!ele: "iute, ea": > [stei~n]. - turn de biserica

church tower

church > [t~a:' t:;;] - biserica Sunetul notat prin [t~] este 0 consoana asemanatoare cu "c(i)", "c(e)", "cere, zece" din limba romana. in Iimba engleza insa sunetul [t~J poate fi urmat direct de orice vocala, tara a mai fi nevoie de un "e" sau "i" intermediar. Sunetul [a:J se pronunta ca "a" lung. Semnul [I] (r ridicat) indica un ~,r" care se aude foarte slab: >[t~a:'t~]. tower

> [taua']

- turn

Diftongul [auJ se pronunFi la fel ca ~i in limba romana: "dau, sau". Sunetul raj este neaccentuat, scurt. La sfar~itul cuvantului, "r"-ul se pronunta doar daca este urmat de un ait cuvant: > [taua I ] . street door

In leetia anterioara am diseutat deja despre vcrbul "to be" - "a fi". In aceasta leqie vom prezenta formele interogative ~i negative ale acestui verb.

in cazul formiirii interogativului verbului to be se schimbii ordinea cuvintelor din cadrul propozitiei, adicii substantivul sau pronumele personal oJi verbul loJi schimbii locul lntre ele. Acest pro'cedeu se numeoJte inversiune. Ajirmativ:

In terogativ:

In prima parte a lectiei am clarificat regulile de formare a intrebarilor ~l raspunsunlor cu ajutorul verbului to be. lnversiunea nu poate fi folosita in toate cazurile de formulare a intrebarilor.

La timpul prezent, daca verbul de conjugat nu este to be, intrebarea se fonnuleaza cu ajutorul verbului auxiliar to do.

in propozifiile aflrmative intalnite pana aeum, verbul era folosit la timpul prezent simplu (the Simple Present Tense [DZa simpl prezant tens]). in propozi{iile interogative, toate verbele cu exceptia lui to be, sunt illsofite de auxiliarul verbul to do [tu du]. in aeest caz verbul to do [tu du] sta inaintea subiectului dupa care urmeaza verbul de conjugat. Sa urmarim exemplele: Verb + pronume personal +

Daca in intrebare figureaza pronumele he, she, it sau un substantiv, verbul auxiliar va fi does [daz), iar verbul aflat in propozitie nu prime~te terminatia ,,-s".

~i

acum, prin intennediul exemplelor urmatoare yeti vedea cum folosim verbul auxiliar "does":

She often goes to Bucharest. >[~i: ofn gallZ tu bubrest] >[ daz ~i: ofn gall Does she often go tu bukarestJ to Bucharest? He se ldom visits Mary. Does he seldom visit Mary?

Ca ,~i in cazul verbului "to be ", in intrebiiri fo!oslIn ~i cuvinte interogative (" where ", "when ", etc.) care stau inaintea verbe!or auxiliare !a inceputu! propozifiei, de exemplu:

Where do you usually go in the morning?

>["ea r du iu: iu:juali gau in DZa mo:rnin(g)]

We seldom see the buildings. - What >do we seldolll see? He opens the shop in the morning.

- When >does he open the shop?

12

- Ce vedem rar? - Ciind deschide (el) magazinul?

!ntrebarea se formuleaza altfel cu ajutorul cuvfmtului who.

Constructia interogativului fonnulata cu ajutorul cuvantului "who" ("cine?") este asemanatoare cu cea a propozitiei afirmative, numai ca pronumele personal sau substantivul este inlocuit de cuvantul "who". In acest caz, verbul va fi conjugat la persoana a treia singular, deci va primi intotdeauna tenninatia ,,-s".

$i acum sa vedem ciiteva exemple in acest sens: Propozi!ie afirmativii:

RECAPITULAREA LECTIEI 3 , A.

Reguli gramaticale 3.1.

Nu se foloseste articolul inaintea cuvantului "town" daca ~tim precis despre care ora~ este Yorba, de exemplu: We often go to town.

3.2.

- Mergem des in

Ati observat mai devreme ca particula "to" precede verbulla modul infinitiv, insa ea se mai folose~te ~i pentro a indica directia, (traducfmdu-se prin "la", "spre", "catre") sau pentro introducerea unor prepozitii. I usually go there to visit the boy.

3.3.

3.5.

- De obicei rna due acolo sa vizitez baiatul.

Nu folosim articol inaintea cuvantului "mother" daca ~tim precis despre cille este yorba: Mother is in the room.

3.4.

ora~.

- Mama este in camera.

Cuvantul "for" poate fi folosit atat cu verbe, cat ~i cu substantive: a~tepta

to wait for

-a

for a day

- pentro

to go for a walk

- a merge la plimbare

to look for

- a cauta

for a long time

- timp indelungat, multa vreme

(pe cineva) zi

Intrebari ~i raspunsuri cu verbul "to be" la timpul prezentul simplu (Simple Present): 3.5.1. Fonnulam intrebarea cu ajutorol verbului "to be" inversancl ordinea propozitiei afinnative, deci substantivul sau pronumelc personal schimba locul cu verbul. Acest procedeu se nume~te inversiune: She is a girl.

- Is she" girl"

The boys arc nice.

- Arc Ihl.' boys nice?

3.5.2. Daca dam un raspuns afirmativ, allinci propozitia incepe cu "yes", unnat de pronumele personal ~i verb. Slibslan(ivul care figureaza in intrebare va fi inlocuit cu pronumele personal corcspllnzator: Is she a girl?

- Yes, she is.

Is the boy in the office?

- Ycs, he is.

3.5.3. In cazul negatiei cuvantul "no" este urmat de pronumele personal, verb ~i cuvfmtul "not": Is she in the office?

- No, she is not.

3.5.4. "is not" sepoate prescurtaca"isn't", iar "are not" ca "aren't". Forma "am not" nu se prescurteaza. Doar fonna "I'm not" poate fi folosita in locullui "I am not". 3.5.5. In intrebari care cer un raspuns descriptiv, pronumele interogative stau la inceputul propozitiei: 1Q

What is it? 3.6.

- Ce este aceasta?

Intrebari ~i raspunsuri la timpul Simple Present: 3.6.1. Formulam intrebarea eu ajutorul verbelor auxiliare "do" sau "does" care sunt unnate de un pronume personal sau substantiv ~i apoi de verb. Verbul nu se conjuga. "does" se folose~te in cazul persoanei a treia singular, in rest folosim "do": Do you like the girl?

- Does he visit Mary every day?

3.6.2. Cuvintele interogative "what", "where", "when" stau inaintea verbelor auxiliare "do/does": When does she go to work? 3.6.3. Construetia intrebalilor care ineep eu "who" este identiea eu eea a propozitiilor afinnative, cu deosebirea ca in locul pronumelui personal sau al substantivului sta cuvantul "who". Vcrbul se afla intotdeauna la persoana a treia singular, deci prime~te tenninatia "s": Who looks through the window? 3.6.4. Daca dam un raspuns afinnativ la 0 intrebare care incepe eu "do/does" atunci raspunsul incepe ell "yes" fiind unnat de pronumele personal ~i de verbul auxiliar: Yes, I do. :1. (1.5

Yes, he does.

R:lspunsu I llcgativ incepc cu "no", apoi unneaza pronumele personal ~i verbul auxiliar ~i sc lumina ell "not": No, I do not.

No, he does not.

3.6.6. "do not" se prescurteaza "don't", iar "does not" se prescurteaza "doesn't": No, we don't. 3.7.

No, she doesn't.

Adjectivele posesive: my - meu, mea, mei, mele your - tau, ta, tai, tale

his her its

our - nostru, noastra, no~tri, noastre your - vostru, voastra, vo~tri, voastre, dUl11itale, dumneavoastra thclr - lor

RECAPITULAREA LECTIEI 4 , 4.1.

4.2.

Folosim prezentul simplu (Simple Prezent) daca este yorba de 0 actiune obi~nuita sau care se repeta sistematico Pentru aceasta utilizam urmatoarele complemente de timp: always

- i'ntotdeauna

Definirea timpului se face in felul unnator: 4.2. I. In engleza "unu ~i jumatate" este "halfpast one", care tradus cuvant cu cuvant inseamna "cu jumatate de ora trecut de ora unu": It's half past ten.

- Este zece

~i

jumatate.

4.2.2. Cuvantul"o' clock" se folose~te doar daca ne referim la ore fixe. In celelalte situatii acest cuvant nu se folose~te: It's seven o'clock.

- Este ora

~apte.

In vorbirca curenta nu este necesara folosirea cuvantului "o'clock" nici macar pentru orele fixe. It's seven.

- Este ora

~apte.

4.2.3. In comunicarea timpului, cuvantul "minute" poate fi omis: It's five (minutes) past two.

RECAPITULARE I.

Simple Present Tense (prezentul simplu) se folose~te pentru a exprima aqiuni obi~nuite, repetabile. Unele verbe se folosesc doar la prezentul simplu, acestea neavand forma continua. lata cateva exemple: He often goes to the cmema. Do you sometimes visit your mother? They don't like to listen to the radio.

2.

Folosim Present Continuous Tense (prezentul continuu) pentru descrierea acelor actiuni care se desTa~oara chiar in momentul vorbirii, respectiv pentru descrierea aqiunilor diferite de cele obi~nuite. Complementele de timp utilizate cu acest timp verbal sunt: now, this (week, month, year), today. Acela~i tllnp se folose~te pentru descrierea actiunilor care se vor desTa~ura in viitorul apropiat. De exemplu: Mary and John are having breakfast now. Is he eating at a restaurant this week? We are not gomg to England next week.

3.

Folosim Simple Past Tense (timpul trecut simplu) pentru exprimarea unei aetiuni care s-a la un moment definit in trecut. De exemplu:

desfa~urat

We watched a good film yesterday. Where did you go last year? She didn't show me her house when I visited her last week.

Acest timp se confunda deseori cu Simple Past Tense (timpul trecut simplu), de aceea va sugeram sa acordari 0 atenrie deosebita folosirii sale. Inainte de a continua, repetati verbele neregulate prezentate la sfar~itullectiei 10.

Did you hear the weather-forecast on the radio yesterday? Yes, I did. It was too cold yesterday to go for a walk. And it was foggy, too. I have never liked to walk in foggy weather, but the heat in summer was also awful for me. Do you want to have breakfast outside? No, I don't. I think the temperature is very low outside and the wind is blowing. Tom has already put on his coat and shawl.

John:

We have a very nice house. Yes, you have, and there is a nice settee in the living-room. We have bought two armchairs so far, and I want to buy a fireplace to the bedroom. Have you ever seen a fireplace in the bedroom? No, I haven't. Look we can't put the floor lamp next to the table because tht:re is no socket there. Yes, I see that. But you've just bought nice, green wall-paper. I wanted to buy a red telephone too, but there was little money in my purse. And what about those pictures on the wall? They are also very nice. I have always liked these pictures.

Peter, a girl has just entered the house! Who is she? I think she is a secretary. Does this secretary work in a bank? I think she does, but she has brought you a letter from your sister.

Barbara: Peter: Barbara: Peter:

Peter! What have you done so far? I've been at work today.Why? Because I want to go to the shop and I want to buy boots for me. lt's too late to go to the shop now, and you can't buy those boots because they are too expensive. Then I want to buy some flowers.

Cu ajutorul verbului tell spunem cuiva ceva (to tell about·· a povesti, a spline): He's told me about the book.

Mi-a povestit despre carte.

She will tell you about my brother.

13. RECAPITU LARE 13.1. Pronumele posesiv

Pronumele posesiv sta de obicei inaintea substantivului: This is my car.

- Aceasta este ma$ina mea.

Our housc is large.

Casa noastra este mare.

Sunt insa ~i situatii in care pronumele posesiv apare singur, ca un pronume propriu $i nu este urmat de substantiv. in acest caz se schimba $i fonna lui. $i se nume$te pronume posesiv propnu: mille > [main] al meu, a mea, ai mei, ale mele yours > [ioJzj al tau, a ta, ai tai, ale tale, alla/ai/ale > [hiz]

This book is mine.

- Aceasta cartc este a mea.

These cars are hcrs.

- Aceste ma$ini sunt ale ei.

13.2. Timpul viitor simplu - Simple Future Tense 13.2.1. Acest timp se folose~te astfe I: 1.

Pentru descricrea tuturor aqiunilor, evenimentelor obi$nuite sau unice care se petrec in viitor folosim timpul Simple Futurc.

2.

Fom1area lui este simpla: verbului auxiliar "will" ii adaugam fonna I-a a verbului principal, infinitivul. Structura propozi!iei: Pronume + verbul auxiliar + personal

She

verb principal + fonna a-I-a (infinitiv)

will

come

to you tomorrow.

will

write

a letter today.

Complementele de timp stau la inceputul sau la sfar~itul propozi!iei. Acele eomplemente de timp care in cazul altor timpuri se afla la mijlocul propozitiei, la acest timp trec inaintea verbului principal. 3.

Retineti ca pronumele everybody ("fiecare, toti, toata lumea") se afla intotdeauna la persoana a-HI-a singular.

in lectiile anterioare amfacut deja cuno~tintii Cll tlmpul Present Continuous, pe care-l tolosim pentru exprimarea actiunitor care se desra~oara in momentul vorbirii.

14. RECAPITULARE 14.1. "My own/of my own" Cuvfmtu1 "own" !, 'lIll; poate figura in doua expresii. Sta inainte sau dupa un substantiv, impreuna cu pronumele posesiv. Dacii sta dupa substantiv, atunci se leaga de acesta cu prepozitia "of'. De exemp1u: I use my own tools.

Fo1osesc propriile instrumente.

He has his own room.

El are camera proprie.

I have a garden of my own.

Am

She has a house of her own.

Ea are

0

griidina proprie. (Am gradiuamea.) 0

casa proprie.

Ce1e doua expresii se pot inlocui reciproc. 14.2. Alaturi de pronume1e "nobody" ~i "nothing" nu se folose~te alta negatie. In limba engleza nu exista negatie dubla. 1 saw nobody in the street.

Nu am vazut pe nimeni in starda.

So far he has done nothing.

Pana acum e1 nu a Iacut nimic.

14.3. Pronumele "everybody" ("fiecare, toti, toata lumea") se afla intotdeauna la persoana a III-a singular. Everybody wants some tea.

- Toata lumea vrea putin ceai.

14.4.5. Propozitii interogative

~i

raspunsurile la acestea.

1.

Propozitiile interogative la timpul Past Continuous se fonneaza prin inversarea ordinii subiectului ~i a verbului auxiliar. In cazul 'intrebarilor eomplexe 'inaintea verbului auxiliar se gase~te un pronume interogativ. Te plimbati in pare ieri la trei? Were you walking in the park at three yesterday? Where was he going when I came? - Unde mergea dnd am venit eu?

2.

Raspunsurile afinnative se fonneaza cu ajutorul cuvantului "yes", al pronumelui personal ~i a verbului auxiliar "was/were". La formularea raspunsului negativ folosim cuvantul de negatie "no", pronumele personal, verbul auxiliar "was/were" ~i cuvantul "not". ("was/were not" se poate prescurta astfel "wasn't" ~i "weren't".)

3.

Was he driving home at six yesterday? - Yes, he was.

- No, he wasn't.

Were they doing it all day yesterday? - Yes they were.

- No, they weren't.

LECTIA 16 - PARTEA A nOVA , Citi1i cu atentie urmatoarele dialoguri. Silabele

cuvintele accentuate sunt scrise cu litere

ingro~ate:

Mary:

Do you like clothes which are out of fashion?

Tom:

No, I don't. I never buy them.

Mary:

But they are not so expensive as other clothes. And sometimes I have little money.

Tom:

Last week I spent a lot of money on a new coat. Another coat was cheaper, but it wasn't waterproof. And when I tried it on it did not fit.

Barbara: I must remember to buy some grapes. Peter:

The greengrocer in our street always has fresh grapes. And at the green-grocer's you always meet people to talk to.

Barbara: But I don't have time to talk, because 1 have to return some books to the library. It's late already. And if I return them too late I have to pay more money.

John:

My sister works at the airport. She must get up early, when it is still dark.

Mary:

Does she like this work?

John:

I think she does. She likes to watch the planes when they rise into the sky.

Mary:

Where did she work before?

John:

At the butcher's. And she wanted to change her work, because she had to clean many things there. She didn't like it.

Mary:

So it was easy for her to leave the butcher's for the airport?

John:

Yes, it was. But it was difficult to find this new work. I helped her. She will never return to the butcher's shop.

Barbara: Do you know people who are always busy and spend all their time at work? Peter:

Yes, I know a lot of them. They are always in a hurry. And some of them smoke too much, too.

Barbara: Do you think they enjoy life? Peter:

No, I don't think they do. They never find time to enjoy things. I think they forget to live, because they are so busy.

Tom:

Do you meet many people who say it is better to eat more vegetables and less meat?

Mary:

Yes, I have met a lot of them. And they also say that fresh fruit is good for everybody.

Tom:

Is it good to listen to these people?

Mary:

I think it is. Fat people live shorter. Do you want to live a long time?

Tom:

Yes, I do. But what you eat is not the only thing. It is also what you do and don't do.

Mary:

I think you are right. If you sit on a chair all day you get tired. After a walk you will feel better.

In acela~i mod, putem fonna adverbe din substantive care exprima timpul: month

-luna

in limba engleza, corespondentullui bine este well. Retineti ca gradele sale de comparatie sunt identice cu ale adjectivului good: better - mai bine

well- bine

the best - cel mai bine

in englezd. la leI ca ~i in limba romtinii, unele adverbe au formii identicii cu adjectivele care Ie corespund late

LECTIA 18 - PARTEA A nOVA , Cititi cu atentie urmatorul dialog fiind atenti la pronuntie ~i intonatie. Cuvintele ~i silabele accentuate sunt scrise ingro~at: Peter:

Mary, have you heard that a lot oflabourers don't like their jobs?

Mary:

No, I haven't. And why don't they like their jobs?

Peter:

They say their wages are too low and they must often apply for a raise.

Mary:

Well, I have heard about that. But the management has refused their applications so far. Hardly any employees like the management.

Peter:

And the other problem is that there is unemployment in our surroundings. Even John has hardly worked this summer. The trade-union wants to negotiate about the strike.

Mary:

And all our employees are members of this trade-union. The management already knows about it and wants to fire some of the employees. Do you know how many people they want to fire')

Peter:

No, I don ·t. I think there must be a few. But there are many unskilled workers and they will not get a job.

John:

I must give my thanks to your mother because she has helped me.

Barbara: How did she help you? John:

You know I wanted to buy a car after I had earned more money. But I was still short of money and she gave me some.

Barbara: Today we must go to the supermarket to do some shopping. There are many things on my shopping-list. Now you can return this money! John:

Why must we go to the supermarket all the time?

Barbara: Because the shop-assistants are very polite there and they stock almost everything. And today they have sales there. John:

Good. today I'll take you to the supermarket in my new car.

Tom:

Mary, today we have a lot of work to do.

Mary:

I know. I must dust the tables, empty the rubbish-bin and iron my father's shirts.

Tom:

And I must place the gas-cooker somewhere else, because it cannot stand next to the fridge.

Mary:

But you can't do it today. All of our electric tools are out of order.

Tom:

I almost forgot about that. Then I'll go and buy a new electric oven to the kitchen.

Mary:

But Tom, we must pay for it in cash and right now we are short of cash.

Tom:

Then I will peel the vegetables for dinner.

33

Barbara: Now you can read it, but later I will turn on the radio and we can listen to some music. Peter:

But I want to read this book tonight. You know I read two books daily.

Barbara: What are the contents of that book? Peter:

The contents of this book are very important and useful for a secretary.

Barbara: Then I will also read that book.

Peter, have you ever been in an accident? No, I haven't, but my brother was yesterday afternoon. How did it happen? My brother was on a zebra-crossing at the traffic-lights and a cab was coming from the right. And ... what happened? The cab didn't stop in time and my brother was hit by it. Was your brother injured? Yes, he was, but fortunately not seriously. I am glad he wasn't seriously injured. Were there any witnesses who saw the accident? There were many onlookers, and the witnesses say my brother did not cause the accident. Have you heard the news that yesterday a pedestrian was hit by a car at the traffic-lights? No, I haven't, but some pedestrians think they always have the right of way. But everybody knows that it is not true. Yes, everybody knows it only the pedestrians don't. We must all try to prevent accidents. You are right. Policemen cannot do everything. I think it is better when there are also traffic-lights.

Mary: Peter: Mary: Peter:

Peter. do you travel mainly by underground to your office? Yes, J do. You travel by underground fast and easily. Yes, but it has become very expensive. Do you have a time-table? There are so many underground trains that you don't need a time-table. And a modem underground is not noisy or dirty.

Barbara: John: Barbara: John: Barbara: John:

I feel so tired after a hard day of work. People are tired when they get home from factories and offices. And they do nothing only go to bed early because they are sleepy. When it is too noisy outside they wake up. I usually wake up even when it's only a little noisy. But when you have a nightmare you are glad when you hear the alarm clock.

Barbara: John, do you often have to go to the bank? John:

I think so. Why do you ask that?

Barbara: Because sometimes there are many people there. John:

Yes, many people want to make a withdrawal or a deposit.

Barbara: And you must fill in forms before you can do something. John:

People try to write very fast because they have little time.

Barbara: The bank always want information, but that takes time, too. John:

But when you do the necessary things you leave the bank in a hurry.

Mary:

Peter, don't you think that we still have time for shopping?

Peter:

I don't know. The streets are still full of traffic and you cannot drive very fast.

Mary:

And something is wrong with the car. It didn't accelerate well when I was driving home.

Peter:

And you don't know what the trouble is, so you have to ask a mechanic to check everything.

Mary:

If the trouble is serious I have to call a breakdown van.

Mary:

Peter, the mechanic just called and said that he had to put a new engine in our car, but is that true?

Peter:

I don't know. You know that some people are not reliable. They only want your money.

Mary:

But we don't have enough money right now to pay for a new engine.

Peter:

Then we have to borrow money, at a high rate of interest.

Mary:

This shows how one bad thing can cause another.

Peter:

Well, it is better not to worry too much.

Barbara, I just read in the newspaper that to people who live in the country and earn their money in agriculture, the weather is much more important than to those who live in a town or city. Barbara: That's right, favourable weather is necessary for a good crop. John: But sometimes it is too dry and at other times it is too wet. Barbara: There has to be enough sun, too. Yes, but if it is too dry for too long, the crop will not grow fast enough. John: Barbara: But we know that farmers are not easily satisfied. John:

Mary: Peter: Mary: Peter:

Peter, did you listen to what Barbara and John have just said? Yes, I did. The weather is something to talk about every day and everywhere. When people meet, they like to talk about the weather. They are glad when they can sit in the sun for example.

Barbara: Sometimes the weather can give us beautiful things. A lightning can be very impressive, but it also scares some people. Tom: Barbara: Is there anybody who doesn't enjoy looking at a rainbow? And what about a beautiful sunset? Even a thunderstorm or a shower can be beautiful. Tom: Barbara: The best thing is to be satisfied with the weather, for there is nothing that we can change about it.

RECAPITULAREA LECTIEI 27 , 27.1. Propozitia conditionala de tipul III (III Conditional) 27.1.1. in propozitia conditionala de tipul III conditia este ireala, nu este realizabila. 27.1.2. in propozitia conditionala introdusa de prepozitia "if" verbul este la timpul Past Perfect, iar in propozitia subordonata apare constructia: "would + have + forma a III-a a verbului de conjugat". De exemplu: If the burglar hadn't been caught - Daca spargatorul nu ar fi fost prins, we would have lost a lot of money. noi am fi pierdut 0 multime de bani. I would have had time to do it if you had told me yesterday.

-

A~ fi avut timp sa fac asta daca imi spuneai ieri.

27.2. Vorbirea indirecta, propozitia indirecta interogativa 27.2.1. Ordinea in propozitia indirecta interogativa este identica cu aceea dintr-o propozitie afirmativa. 27.2.2. in cazul intrebarii decizionale (da/nu) propozitia secundara care urmeaza dupa propozitia principala este introdusa prin prepozitia if. De exemplu: - Peter asked if they had met her.

Peter asked "Did they meet her?"

in propozitia interogativa complementara, pronumele interogativ ramane neschimbat. De exemplu: Mary asked "Where is he going?".

- Mary asked where he was going.

Timpul verbului se schimba conform regulii concordantei timpurilor.

27.3. Constructia "to be going to" - "a avea de gand sa": 27.3.1. in aceasta constructie, se schimba doar forma verbului "to be" in functie de persoana ~i timp (I am going to, she is going to, they are going to etc.). De exemplu:

- Ii voi vizita azi.

I am going to visit them today.

27.3.2. Interogativul se formeaza prin inversiunea subiectului cu forma corespunzatoare a verbului to be, iar negatia prin adaugarea adverbului de negatie "not" la forma corespunzatoare a verbului "to be". Where are you going to spend your holiday?

- Unde ai de gand sa-ti petreci concediul?

She was not going to visit us yesterday.

- Ea nu a avut de gand sa ne viziteze ieri.

18

27.4. Pronumele relative compuse: whoever

- oricine, oricare

whatever

- once

whichever

- oricare, orice

Whatever happens I will help you.

- Grice s-ar intampla te voi ajuta.

Whoever sees the thief must tell the police. - Gricine vede hotul, trebuie sa anunte politia. - Grice ma~ina alegi, te va costa mult.

Whichever of these cars you choose, it will cost you a lot. De~i dupa pronumele relative compuse se refera la viitor.

timpul Simple Present, de obicei, ele se

27.5. "Would, could" 27.5.1. Verbele "would" ~i "could" sunt verbe auxiliare modale, de aceea propozitiile interogative formate cu ajutorullor, implica inversiunea, de exemplu: Could you leave yesterday?

- Ai putut pleca ieri?

What would you do if you were rich?

- Ce ai face daca ai fi bogat?

27.5.2. Formele lor negative sunt: "could not" - forma prescurtata "couldn't" "would not" - forma prescurtata "wouldn't" They couldn't see us there.

- Nu puteau sa ne vada acolo.

My mother wouldn't pay for this if she hadn't money.

- Mama mea nu ar plati pentru asta daca nu ar avea bani.

LECTIA 28 - PARTEA A nOVA , Aceasta parte a lectiei incepe cu un dialog. Fiti atenti la pronuntia cuvintelor ~i silabelor accentuate: Barbara: Speaking about crime you know that people have always said that crime doesn't pay. John:

But in some countries crime seems to be profitable because the criminals are not sufficiently punished.

Barbara: I agree, and if a prisoner is convicted of a crime, he often doesn't have to go to prison for a long time. John:

How true it is. They say this is because the criminal didn't know what he was doing when he commited the crime. Don't ask me how they know.

Barbara: And if a prisoner's behaviour is good he is released. John:

I think the only thing we can do to change this situation is to punish the people who don't want to punish the criminals.

Mary:

Of course there are happier things to talk about than crime, such as weddings.

Peter:

Yes, just tell me please who isn't happy himself when he sees other people happy on their wedding-day.

Mary:

Even if you prefer to stay single you can imagine that this is a day they will never forget.

Peter:

We must hope that life will always bring us more to be happy about than to be sad about.

LECTIA 30 - PARTEA A nOVA , Urmeaza un exercitiu de citire ~i pronuntie. Cuvmtele ~i sllabele accentuate Ie-am scris cu litere Ascultati caseta ~i cititi dialogul cu atentie, pentm a va insu~i cat mai corect intonatia limbii engleze: ingro~ate.

Barbara: John: Barbara: John: Barbara: John:

Mary: Peter: Mary:

John! Clever people say time is an important thing in our lives. Of course. To do the things we have to do we need time. When there is too little time we cannot do things as well as we want to do them. Yes, but there are people who always know what to do with the time. You are so right.They go for a walk or read a book or make all kinds of things that are useful or beautiful. Sometimes they sell these things, which is their way of showing that time is really money.

What John was saying was true. But don't other people feel bad when there is nothing for them to do, or at least they think there is nothing? Yes, I think so. Usually these people are wasting their time or choose to listen to the radio or watch television. And these people are very happy when friends come to visit them so they can talk about the news or whatever is worth talking about.

Barbara: Wouldn't it be difficult to say which of these is the better way of spending time? Tom: Well, it's hard to say. We are always ready to say that we are doing things the right way and other people are not. Barbara: But how can we be sure? Tom: It is a good thing that we are all different.

LECTIA 32 - PARTEA A nOVA , Cititi cu atentie unnatorul dialog: Mary:

Every day when you read the morning papers, there is news about all kinds of wars, isn't it, Peter?

Peter:

Well, yes. But is it bad? In this way we cannot forget that while we ourselves are living in peace, things are not so good for a lot of other people.

Mary:

Why is it that people cannot live peacefully for a longer time?

Peter:

This question is hard to answer. it must be something deep within us.

Mary:

Is there anything we can do about it?

Peter:

I really don't know. Some people say that we have to destroy all weapons and close ,the factories that make them.

Mary:

But things don't work that way.

Barbara: I agree with what Mary just said, and you John? John:

There will always be people who will do anything for money.

Barbara: I guess so, but other people say that negotiating is the answer. But it often happens that people finish negotiations when it seems they are getting less than the others. John:

lata-ne

We have to try to be good to other people and in the meantime remember what has often been said: if you want peace you have to be prepared to fight.
