These two sentences should help you: a) I have been reading b) I have read the book In sentence “a” (in the present perfect continuous) the continuous form is used to describe an activity that has been in progress, but that hasn’t necessarily finished And in sentence “b” (in the present perfect) the perfect form is used to express the idea of completion Here are some more examples: a) He has been preparing food all afternoon (The food isn’t necessarily ready) b) He has prepared the dinner (The food is ready.) a) They have been watching television this afternoon b) They have watched four films a) I’ve been drinking beer b) I’ve drunk six bottles of beer / www.learnhotenglish.com / Contact us for fantastic online classes for your company, wherever you are: classes@learnhotenglish.com THE COMPLETE ENGLISH COURSE!

AUDIO DR FINGERS’ PRONUNCIATION DR FINGERS’PRONUNCIATION STRESS SHIFT This month we are going to be looking at stress patterns within words In particular, we are going to be looking at some of the differences in stress between nouns and verbs OK, let’s get started Word Stress An Exercise In English you’ll find that words have just one primary stress pattern If you can hear two stresses, you are listening to two words Many words are just monosyllabic, such as “come”, “go”, “right”, etc, and only have one syllable so there’s only one place for the stress However, other words can have more than one syllable, and then it’s harder to know where to put the stress This is very important because the wrong stress on a word can make it very difficult for another person to understand I remember once listening to a conversation on a train between an English language learner and a native English speaker It went something like this: In English there are many other multi-syllable words whose meaning changes with the stress Let’s look at some more of these words and an exercise with them Firstly, look at the sentences below and decide if the word in italics is a noun or a verb Then, decide where the stress is going to go Finally, listen to the CD to check your answers Good luck! Learner: Native: Learner: Native: Learner: Native: Learner: Native: I am very happy about it I beg your pardon I am happy What? Happy, happy, happy A “pee”? What’s that? Happy! I’m sorry but I don’t understand you In this case there was a lack of understanding over the word “happy” because the learner was putting the stress at the end of the word (happy), rather than at the beginning (happy) So, as you can see, word stress is very important for communicating in English a) They got lost in the desert b) She deserted him a) He was convicted of theft b) He is a convict a) They signed my contract b) We want to contract the work out to another company Stress Patterns Now we are going to look at some word stress patterns with nouns and verbs Generally, most two-syllable nouns have the stress on the first syllable For example: a) Present (something you give someone for their birthday, etc) b) Contrast (the difference between two things) And most two-syllable verbs have the stress on the last syllable For example: a) Present (to give something to someone) b) Contrast (to show the difference between two things) a) She conducted herself very well b) We weren’t happy with your conduct a) There was a conflict of opinion between them b) This conflicts with what you were saying earlier a) We tried to console him b) Look, I’ve got a new video console a) She is a Muslim convert b) He wants to convert to Islam a) There has been a decrease in the number of people visiting the island b) The quality of the air decreases as you get higher a) They gave us a discount b) We have discounted the amount from the total 10 a) She escorted me to the station b) She works as an escort 11 a) You can read about her exploits in this book b) They exploited the workers / www.learnhotenglish.com / Want to an internship with Hot English?

AUDIO DR FINGERS’GRAMMAR CLINIC DR FINGERS’GRAMMAR CLINIC RELATIVE CLAUSES WITH “WHO”, “WHOM” AND“WHOSE” Hello, everybody Last month we looked at some more aspects of relative clauses, and how we can omit the pronoun in some cases In this grammar focus we are going to look at relative clauses with “who”, “whom” and “whose” However, both these sentences sound very formal, and there is a less formal way of saying them by using “who” and placing the preposition at the end of the sentence For example: a) I met some nice men, who I have heard nothing about b) That is Lord Jarvis, who I have a lot of respect for Relative Clauses with “Who” In defining relative clauses we generally use the relative pronoun “who” to refer to people For example: a) That’s the boy who lives in this street b) She spoke to the man who works here As in other cases, if “who” refers to the object of the verb in the relative clause, it is possible to omit “who” For example a) That is the man (who) I gave the money to (I gave money to the man.) b) She’s the girl (who) I told you about (I told you about the girl.) We can also use “whom” with determiners such as “some of”, “any of”, “one of”, “all of”, “both of”, “enough of”, “many of”, “few of”, etc For example: a) It’s a family of eight children, all of whom are studying music b) They picked up six people in the water, some of whom had been there for ten hours Who & Whom We can use both “who” and “whom” as relative pronouns when they are referring to the object of a verb For example: a) Those are the two girls (who) I saw b) Those are the two girls (whom) I saw However, it is much more common to use “who” Whom In non-defining relative clauses, it is also possible to use “whom” with prepositions In these cases, “whom” comes after the preposition For example: a) I met some nice men, about whom I have heard nothing b) That is Lord Jarvis, for whom I have a lot of respect Whose We use “whose” at the beginning of a defining or non-defining relative clause to show who something belongs to, or who something is connected with For example: a) She is the woman whose cat was stolen b) Martin Brown, whose book I read last week, is in town promoting his latest novel Well, I really hope my explanations have helped you Yours, Dr Fingers / www.learnhotenglish.com / Contact us for fantastic online classes for your company, wherever you are: classes@learnhotenglish.com HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR SPOKEN ENGLISH IN LESS THAN 10 MINUTES! 10 video lessons to improve your spoken English in 10 minutes Do you find it hard to speak in English in certain situations?

Sewer Ride All about a Frenchman, a hole and a dirty ride Monsieur le Caqueur, a 47-year-old Frenchman had an unfortunate experience whilst walking around Cannes Here he is here to tell us all about it The Black Hole I work in the philosophy department at the university Just last week, I had some drinks with some friends in a bar After a few glasses of wine, but not too many, mind you, I left It was about six in the evening, and it was starting to get dark It had been raining heavily the past few days, but Eventually my back that night it was pleasant so I decided to walk home was scraping along However, I’d just turned the the side, until corner into my street when “splash”, I fell into all of a sudden, “whoosh”, a pool of running I fell down an uncovered manhole water.” Flying It was an incredible experience It was as if I was flying through the air I could feel the cold, wet sides of the drain Eventually my back was scraping along the side, until “splash”, I fell into a pool of running water.” A Water Ride Now I was moving quite fast The current was very strong – I guess it was because of all the heavy rain that had flooded the drain Luckily the water wasn’t very deep so I could keep my head above water There was nothing I could do, so I lay back, with my hands behind my head, as if I was on a slide in a water park, and just let myself go It was quite pleasant really, except for the occasional mouthful of disgusting water, and a revolting smell When was it going to end? I was about to find out The End of the Ordeal All of a sudden, I could see a light at the end of the tunnel It started off quite small, but then it got bigger and bigger A few seconds later I was expelled violently out of the drain, and onto the beach, right below the luxurious Majestic Hotel I lay there for a few seconds, shaken, but unharmed Then I picked myself up, walked up to the hotel and told them what had happened Of course, at first it was hard to convince them that this dirty, wet middle-aged man with a revolting smell on him was in fact a dignified university professor Anyway, they eventually believed me and allowed me to clean myself in one of the rooms Recovery Miraculously, I was uninjured after my 30-minute ride I am currently in the process of suing the local council for failing to warn the public about the unmarked manhole Meanwhile, the town mayor has blamed “unusually strong rain fall” for the situation GLOSSARY mind you exp people often use this expression to emphasize what they are about to say, especially if it contrasts with what they have said before raining heavily exp raining very much and with a lot of water uncovered adj that has not been covered; that is open a manhole n a hole in the ground that leads to the drains (the tubes that transport dirty water) a drain n a tube/pipe underground that transports dirty water scraping along the side exp hitting the sides continuously as you move a pool n an area of deep water running water n water that is moving to flood n if an area has been “flooded”, there is a lot of water there to lie back phr vb to go into a horizontal position with your head touching the ground a slide n a tall structure (often made of plastic) that people sit on and go down for fun a water park n a park with lots of fun things to in the water to let yourself go exp to relax your body and to stop offering any resistance a mouthful n if you get a “mouthful” of water, water goes into your mouth to expel vb to force someone/something out of a place shaken adj emotionally affected unharmed adj not in physical danger to pick yourself up phr vb to stand up by yourself to sue vb to start a legal process against someone to warn vb to tell someone of a danger FREE subscription if you recommend Hot English Language Services to your company E-mail classes@learnhotenglish.com.com / www.learnhotenglish.com / 35 Authentic conversations to help improve your listening skills BRITISH BAR CHAT AUDIO t a h c r a b h s i t Bri British Bar Chat – Swearing This month two British men, Finn and Brendan, are talking about swearing Listen to their conversation and answer these questions Remember, you don’t have to understand every word, just listen for the key words (the most important words in the conversation) What does one of the speakers say in defence of swearing?

Well, a recent survey of 1,000 company directors found that the total pay of top company bosses increased by 18% last year The survey also found that almost half now earned over £1m, with eight receiving packages worth in excess of £5m So, is this normal? No, we’ve never seen anything like this before The rise in directors’ wages is really high compared with average settlements of between and 3.5% in the wider economy So, what’s the reason for this? Well, the continuing upward trend may in part be attributed to improved business conditions Companies also feel the need to pay these salaries to get the people they want It’s all about selling an image to the public Ironically, it’s often companies that are in the process of laying people off, or restructuring that are the ones that pay the highest wages It’s seen as a way of saving the company from bankruptcy Useful Business Expressions – Salaries How much you earn? And how have other organisations reacted to this news? Well, the TUC said it wanted action to curb what it referred to as “these sky high increases” I think what annoys most people is that often people are paid these high prices even when they don’t deliver in failing companies No one wants to reward failure OK, thank you very much, Greg That was really interesting No problem (The interview has ended.) So, how much you earn then? Bit of a personal question, isn’t it? I got a 30% pay increase last year, plus a 200,000 pound bonus Pretty impressive, eh?
