can add other interesting ideas about water properties.
Like air, water is found almost everywhere. It is familiar to us in different forms, as drinking
water, water vapour, ice and snow.
Water has some surprising qualities. For example, most liquids freeze and become denser, but
water becomes lighter. When you fill a pan of water, with ice cubes, you note that unmelted
particles remain on the surface. The reason is that frozen water is lighter than water in liquid
form. When water it becomes ice and it exerts pressure. If you fill a glass bottle and put it in the
freezer, the bottle breaks. As the frozen water expands, it exerts pressure on the glass bottle.
Water molecules have a strong attraction to each other. The force of attraction is called cohesion.
If you moisten two pocket mirrors and stick them together, you will not be able to pull them
apart. The water molecules on the surface of the pocket mirrors attract each other. But it is not
difficult at all to separate dry mirrors because ...

The rules for word stress
1; Stress on first syllable
Most two-syllable nouns and adjectives have stress on the first syllable.
2. Stress on last syllable
Most two-syllable verbs have stress on the last syllable.
3.Stress on penultimate syllable (second from the end):
Words ending in ‘ic’ , ‘tion’, and ‘sion
4. Stress on ante-penultimate syllable (third from the end):
Words ending in ‘cy’, ‘ty’, ‘phy’; ‘gy’
5. Polysyllabic words (words with many syllables)
These usually have more than one stress, i.e., primary and secondary stress. Often such words
contain a prefix ( as with ‘inter’ and ‘anti’ in international and antibiotic). This is common with
many long technical words.
6. Compound words (words with two parts)
If the compound is a noun, the stress goes on the first part : e;G;, greenhouse , blackbird.
If the compound is an adjective, the stress goes on the second part; e.g., bad-tempered, oldfashioned
If the compound is a verb , the stress goes on the second part, e.g., understand, overlook.

A letter for seeking advice
A suggested letter to an “agony aunt”:
Dear Dr Wells,
I’m writing to you to seek advice. My name is Omar and I’m a secondary school student. I can’t
make up my mind about a personal problem.
I’ll sit for the baccalaureate exam soon. I’ll certainly succeed, but my parents are old and are in
need of financial help. I would really like to help them. However, If I do so, I will have to give up
my dream of becoming a doctor . In short I am in a dilemma. On the one hand, If I decide to help,
I will have to renounce to my registration at the university. On the other hand, if I don’t, I’ll feel
guilty of not helping my family. I have no one to turn to. What should/can I do ?
Sincerely,
“Miserable”
pp.5657
Act. Two(p.88)
Brainstorm the topic with your students. They can suggest different pieces of advice. Jot them on
the board and let them agree on one of them. For example, they can suggest registration at the
UFC (Evening University). This will allow ‘miserable’ the possibility of working during the day.
This is one way of working one’s way through college/university.

WRITE IT RIGHT (p.103)
Brainstorm the topic with your students. Here are some ideas which can help you. When we write
a narrative, we generally start by setting the scene. At this stage, we generally use the past
simple and past continuous. e.g., It was in 1989. It was in summer. It was early in the morning.
The breeze was blowing ...
Once the scene is set. Mention an event that interrupts or disturbs the
scene ( eg., Suddenly an earthquake shook out our building) and narrate or describe what was
happening. ...
Your students will write about their own personal experiences with catastrophes.
SAY IT ALOUD AND CLEAR (p.104)
The rule for stress in compound words is as follows.
If the compound word is a noun, the stress goes on the first part; e.g.,
greenhouse - blackbird.
If the compound is an adjective, the stress goes on the second part; e.g.,
Old-fashioned - sweet-tongued
If the compound is a verb the stress goes on the second part; e.g.,
understand - overlook
However, in connected speech, compound words are subject to stress shift when a stressed
syllable follows closely.
( From Christiane Dalton and Barbara Seildlhoffer, Pronunciation, (Oxford University Press
2000, p.103)
Once upon a time there was a little red-haired and blue-eyed girl who was loved by all who
knew her. She was called Little Red Riding Hood. One day her mother told her to take some
sweet-smelling cakes to her grandmother who was living in the woods, but not to go into bypaths.
That was dangerous.
When Little Red Riding Hood reached the woods, she met a funny-looking and bad-smelling
wolf . Naturally, Little Red Riding Hood did not know what a wicked animal the wolf was! She
thought that it was kind-hearted. So she listened to it when it told her to pick up some bluebells
and daffodils for her grandmother.
While Little Red Riding Hood was picking flowers, the wolf entered her grandmother’s house
and ate her up. Then he put on her grandmother’s night gown and night cap and went into the
bedroom. When Little Red Riding Hood got to her grandmother’s house, she found the door
wide open. Obviously something was wrong. Even her grandmother was odd-looking.
6263
Act. Two (p. 104)
The rules are included in activity one. It has to be observed that there are some exceptions to the
rules. For example, compound words are subject to stress shift when a stressed syllable follows
closely. It is the case of red-haired and blue-eyed in red-haired and blue-eyed girl. Please
explain the stress shift in compound words before moving on to the next activity. (Cf. Daniel
Jones, Cambridge English Pronouncing Dictionary 16 th Edition, p. 111)
Discuss with your students about how compound words with adjectives are formed and on which
word stress normally falls.
Act. Three (p.104)
“Ohì grandmothershe saidî, ‘what big ears you have !” ì
“ The better to hear you with, my dear,” said the wolfî.
“ Grandmother, what big eyes you have!”ì
“The better to see you with .”î
“Grandmother, what big teeth you have!”ì
“The better to eat you with!”ì
And the wolf jumped out of bed ìand swallowed up Little Red Riding Hoodî. A huntsman saved
Little Red Riding Hood î
and her grandmother by cutting out the wolf’s stomachî. They both lived happily ever afterî.
Act. Four (104)
The students will form as many words as they can. e.g., big-eyed - left-handed
big-headed; good-mannered; left-handed; blue-eye ; dark-skinned; old-fashioned; hardworking;
black-haired ; fast-moving ... Please remind the students of stress shift in compound
words in connected speech.

KEY
The answers will not necessarily be formulated in the same way as in this key. The important
thing at this stage is the discussion . The students will check their answers with the information in
the tip box on page 110.
a-Yes, because the rest of the article develops further the information given in the lead-in, which
is only a summary of the news item.
b-Yes, the picture shows a collision between a lorry and a car. We can, therefore, visualise the
accident.
c-The writer reports both facts and opinions. S/he does so in order to
explain the reason why the accident happened. The facts are there, we can’t change them, but the
author’s opinion can be questioned on the basis of the background knowledge that the
readers/students might have about the different actors and the cirmcumstances in which the
accident happened.
d-Yes, I am. The couple described is sympathetic and was not all responsible for the the accident.
