Talking about an event happening in the past
When talking about an event in the past, we describe
the event in time order, and use the verbs in the past tenses namely past simple, past progressive, and past
perfect tense E.g:
- First, I went to see the parade of the krewe of
Zulu (Past simple)
- [ducked into Pat O’Brien’s, where I had
listened to some great jazz a few nights before
(Past perfect)

Introduction to cleft sentences
A cleft sentence is a sentence formed by a main clause and a subordinate clause, which together express a
meaning that could be expressed by a simple sentence Clefts typically put a particular constituent into focus This focusing is often accompanied by a _ special
intonation Whole class
Trang 8
Time Steps Arrangement Work
In English, a cleft sentence can be constructed as follows:
It + conjugated form of to be + X + subordinate clause It is a dummy pronoun and X is usually a noun phrase
(although it can also be a prepositional phrase, and in some cases an adjectival or adverbial phrase) The focus is on X, or else on the subordinate clause or some
element of it For example:
VY It is Joey that we're looking for
VY It's money that I love
Y It was from John that she heard the news v It was meeting Jim that really started me off on
this new line of work
Cleft sentences are used to help us focus on a
particular part of the sentence and to emphasize what we want to say by introducing it or building up to it
with a kind of relative clause
Cleft sentences are particularly useful in writing where we cannot use intonation for purposes of focus or emphasis, but they are also frequently used in speech

Review on Either or and Neither nor
structures
Structure:
Either + noun + | or + plural noun + plural
Neither nor verb
Either + noun + | or +singular noun + singular
Neither nor verb
When either and neither are followed by or and nor, the verb may be singular or plural, depending on whether the noun following or and nor is singular or plural If or or nor appears alone, the same rule applies
E.g: - Either my sister or lam going to come and give you a hand
- Neither my parents nor my sister agrees with my brother’s decision
The structures between either or and neither nor must be parallel
E.g: - You can go either by car or by bus
- She can neither sing nor play a musical instrument

Space exploration is the use of astronomy and space technology to physically explore outer space, with both human spaceflight and robotic spacecraft
While the observation of objects in space-known as astronomy-pre-dates reliable recorded history, it was the development of large liquid-fueled rocket engines during the early 20th century that allowed space exploration to become a practical possibility Common rationales for exploring space include advancing scientific research, uniting different nations, ensuring the future survival of humanity and developing military/strategic advantages against other countries Space exploration has often been used as a proxy competition for geopolitical rivalries such as the Cold War The early era of space exploration was driven by a "Space Race" between the Soviet Union and the United States; the launch of the
first man-made object to orbit the Earth, the USSR's Sputnik 1, on October 4,
Trang 18program achieved many of the first milestones under Sergey Korolyov and Kerim Kerimoy, including the first human spaceflight (Yuri Gagarin aboard Vostok 1) in 1961, the first spacewalk (by Aleksei Leonov) in 1965, and the launch of the first space station (Salyut 1) in 1971
After the first 20 years of exploration, focus shifted from one-off flights to renewable hardware, such as the Space Shuttle program, and from competition to cooperation as with the International Space Station From the 1990s onwards, private interests began promoting space tourism Larger government programs have advocated manned missions to the Moon and possibly Mars sometime after 2010
Various criticisms of Space Exploration are sometimes made, on cost or safety grounds, but the people of many countries are nevertheless usually supportive of programs
