If an adjective already ends in "-ly" (e.g. FRIENDLY, LONELY) it cannot be made into an adverb. In this case, we have to make an adverbial phrase. EXAMPLES: "She spoke to me in a friendly way." "He sat there looking lonely."

In a few cases, the adverb is exactly the same as its corresponding adjective: EARLY, LATE, FAST, HARD, LEFT, RIGHT, WRONG, HIGH, LONG. EXAMPLES: "I'm afraid the train will leave late."

"He runs very fast." "Why do you work so hard?" "Turn right at the next corner!" The adverb form of the adjective GOOD is WELL. "Michael is a very good cook. He makes cakes particularly well." -Do you play soccer? Are you good? Can you run quickly?-Oh, yes sir. I play very well and I am a very fast runner. Drag the correct answer/s into place.

All around the world are different kinds of homes. Some of them may surprise you. Coober Pedy, Australia, is a mining town. All the mining created a lot of caves. Many people actually live in these caves under the ground. They live in the caves because it's very hot in Coober Pedy. But underground, it's nice and cool. The cave homes are just like regular homes. The people have furniture and appliances, just like we do. How about living inside a volcano? Aogashima is an island near Tokyo, Japan. It's also a volcano. It's not dangerous to live on the island. About 200 people live on Aogashima. The hot gases from the volcano give the residents free heating, hot water, and steam for cooking. Not everyone in the world lives on or under the ground. The Korowai people live high up above the ground. They live in tree houses, in the West Papuan rain forest of Indonesia. The Korowai build tree houses 8 to 12 meters high (and sometimes higher). Whole families and their pets live together in one tree house.

Parts of Speech

   

Sentences are made up of different types of words. Each type of word does a different job in the sentence. These different types of words are called 'parts of speech.' It is important to recognize parts of speech. They help you understand the meaning of a sentence. Parts of speech are like building blocks because we use them to build sentences. Once you know how to use parts of speech, you can form your own sentences. In this unit, we are going to look at four parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, andadverbs. We use nouns to talk about people, places, and things: teacher, restaurant, crafts, We use verbs to talk about an action: collect, read, sew We use adjectives to describe nouns. Most adjectives come before the noun: an outdoor activity, a small store, an interesting book We use adverbs to describe verbs. Most adverbs come after the verb: draw quickly, sing happily, sew carefully

A Great Hobby: Scrapbooking A scrapbook is an album of photos, souvenirs, and other small objects. People make scrapbooks to remember specialtimes in their lives. To make a scrapbook, think of an event you want to remember. Then find pictures of the event. Find objects from the event, too. These can be tickets, menus, or other flat objects. Glue the photos and objects neatly and carefully into the album. Next, write in the album. Tell what is happening in the pictures. Write your memories of the event. Add stickers, ribbons, and any other decorations you can think of. Choose the word from the article that best answers each question. Which of these words refers to a thing? Scrapbook Make Remember Carefully Which of these words describes a thing? Stickers Special Add Neatly Which of these words refers to an action? Small Photo Carefully Make Which of these words describes an action? Flat Write Neatly Event

Choose the correct answer. This unit is mostly about... movies. dating. hobbies. food. Choose the correct answer. We use parts of speech... to connect words together. to form sentences. to talk about feelings. to talk about the future. Choose the correct answer. The word 'flat' is... an adjective. a verb. a noun. an adverb. Complete these sentences about hobbies. It's fun to go hiking in the forest by my house. In my free time, I enjoy making jewelry such as earrings and necklaces. Do you want to go rollerblading in the park? I love horseback riding on the weekend.

Understanding Vocabulary in Context You can often understand the meanings of new or unfamiliar words by paying attention to the surrounding information in the sentence. Sometimes, you can find a clue to the meaning of a word in the same sentence, or in the previous or following sentences. These clues are called context clues. Look for the following clues in sentences:



Phrases or words that indicate opposite or negative meaning: Some people get nervous in the kitchen, but I find cooking and baking very relaxing!

 

Phrases or words that define, explain, or give examples: Add decorations to your scrapbook, like stickers and ribbons. Phrases or words with the same or similar meanings: I'd like to try rollerblading, but I'm scared to start. I'm afraid I may fall down!
