N on-defining relative clauses A non-defining relative clause has extra, nonessential information In this type of clause, use who, which and whose but not th a t The relative clause is separated from the main clause by commas Hanna, w ho is o u r rece ptio nist, will show you around the building The Rosetta stone, w hich was fo u n d in 1799, enabled Champollion to decipher the hieroglyphs Leonardo da Vinci, whose p a in tin g o f the Mona Lisa is w orld-fam ous, was a great Italian artist and sculptor You can use which to refer back to a whole clause I m afraid we've missed our train, which means w e 'll be late Modal verbs SPECULATING You can use the modal verbs may, might, could, should and must to say what you suppose to be true about the past or the present For example, someone asks, 'Where is Juliette?' You could answer: She m a y /m ig h t/c o u ld be in the back office (= It's possible.) She sh o u ld be in the back office (= It's reasonably certain.) She m ust be in the back office (= It's pretty sure.) She ca n't be in the back office She called me from home five minutes ago (= It's impossible.) To refer to the past, use modal verb + have + past participle For example, someone says, 'I can't find Juliette anywhere.' You could respond: She m a y /m ig h t/c o u ld have gone out (= It's possible.) She m ust have gone out (= It's pretty sure.) She ca n't have gone out She was right here a minute ago (= It's impossible.) It is not possible to use should to speculate about the past Should + have + past participle expresses criticism She sh o uld have gone out (= It was wrong for her to stay inside.) It is also possible to speculate about the outcome of past situation by using a third conditional If I had anticipated the market trend a year ago I c o u ld /w o u ld / m ig ht have m ade a fortune AUDIO SCRIPT Unit 1.1 I = Interviewer, P = Paul Henley I C a n I a sk y o u a s im p le q u e s tio n , M r H e n le y ?

L Risk m anagem ent is a team effort; it's not just one particular person's job, so we set up a crisis plan ning com m ittee with representatives o f every departm ent W e also consult representatives from all the key stakeholders in the local com m unity as each o f them w ill have a diffe ren t perspective, and unique skills and kno w le dge to contribute A n d given ■ that risks are rarely static, it is important to monitor and review the risk management plan on a regular basis, ideally, every three months, so that everybody knows what to and when 10.2 and news is coming in of an accident at the ski resort at Beaver Ridge, Colorado Apparently, some time after seven o'clock, when the resort had closed for the day, a 12-year-old girl was severely injured after her sled hit a snow groomer at the bottom of the beginner slope Her nine-year-old brother was also riding on the sled but managed to throw himself clear before the sled hit the machine The circumstances of the accident are unclear but, apparently, the snow groomer was travelling at 19 kilometres an hour and heading towards the snow bridge when the girl emerged from behind the ski lift and lost control of her wooden sled The driver of the snow groomer, a recently-recruited man aged 44, was being questioned by police to clarify the circumstances of the accident According to our information, he has a heart condition and may have been taken ill after failing to take his medication Keep tuned for an update This is Caroline Johnson at W CTB, for news on the hour, every hour 10.3 A Would you say that most travel companies are sufficiently prepared to cope with an emergency? B No, not really There's a lot of talk in the adventure travel business about risk evaluation but, in fact, many companies just don't see it as a priority And that's wrong because your customer could be on a villa holiday in Italy or Turkey and there's an earthquake - the risks are the same C Yeah, and in an emergency it's your company's reputation on the line If you want to be doing business next month, you need a crisis response D I think the most important thing is briefing your staff and running a simulation A lot of it comes down to practical issues like who is going to take charge and who is going to man the phones B Yeah, you need to train staff on how to deal with anxious families and friends, the media and clients on the ground D The first hour is the most important; we call it the golden hour It's the most critical because you have to evaluate how serious the situation is and take all the measures that you've already put in place And it's always better to be safe than sorry B We have yellow, orange and red levels of crisis We decide which level it is and then carry out an action plan depending on the nature of the crisis C And you need all that contact information for next of kin as news travels fast and we prefer to get in touch with relatives before they get in touch with us But how many companies actually have that next of kin information at their fingertips? D Right And technology has made this first hour even more crucial, as people on holiday will often make phone calls or film videos at the scene and upload them onto the internet before the operator is even aware of the crisis C I remember when there was a bus crash in South Africa in 2010, just two days before the World Cup The company asked a social networking site to take down pictures and comments because they were distressing relatives B That's true But regular updates on your own website or text messages are a very important way of getting information to clients and their families very quickly C Communication is the key and if you get it right, a well-handled emergency could actually help you to generate more business 10.4 A Well, everybody is congratulating you on having been chosen for the next Olympic Games But what you see as the real benefits of having been selected? B Yes, we're all very excited but it's going to be a lot of hard work between now and then to make the games truly successful But there are enormous benefits First of all, national pride The games bring people together, they create a real sense of community; people are proud when the whole world is watching their country and there's a great atmosphere Secondly, there's a huge benefit in creating the facilities for the games: new transport links new sports stadiums and all the amenities * for the athletes themselves A Isn't there a risk these will cost a fortune and not be used afterwards, so, eventually it's the taxpayer who has to foot the bill? B No, all the facilities will be used by local people and the accommodation for the athletes will be converted into social housing And there will be a major spin-off in terms of urban regeneration There will be a lot of work done in run-down areas that need investment and so many of the events will be held in these areas Of course, that means that a lot of jobs will be created as well A O K, and I suppose the revenue from tourism will help meet the costs B Sure Thousands of extra visitors are b o u n d to help the tourism sector - bo th ¡n th e sho rt and long term - in raising the p ro file o f th e country A Great! Well, we're all looking forward to the opening ceremony!
