UK

12:51

Post subject: Is this a ridiculous idea?

I need 3 Advanced-level subjects to enter university.

Unfortunately only two of the courses offered at my school are

suitable for me.

So, I have an idea: ask the school to let me sit Advanced-level

Italian next summer. I'd have to prepare for the exam entirely on

my own, as the subject isn't offered here.

I'm about to e-mail the headteacher to ask her opinion, but I'd

appreciate any comments on this.

Write a comment of 100-120 words to Ladybird’s post including what you think about:

• preparing for an exam on your own,

• learning a language to Advanced-level standard in one year,

• what she should do.

Begin your comment like this:

TASK 1

The stories of identical twins' nearly identical lives are often astonishing, but perhaps none

more so than those of the identical twins born in a small town in Ohio, back in the 1930s.

The twin boys were separated at birth, being adopted by different families in two towns

thousands of miles away from each other. Unbelievable as it sounds, unknown to each other,

both families chose the first name James for the boys, although, of course, their surnames

were different. And here the coincidences just begin. Both Jameses grew up not even knowing

of the other, yet both sought law-enforcement training, and worked as police officers. Both of

them had a natural talent for music, and were quite skillful instrumentalists who regularly

performed in their local communities. Each married women named Linda, and they both had

only one child, a son each, whom one named James Alan and the other named James Allan,

with a double ”l”. The twin brothers also divorced their first wives and married other women -

both named Betty, and they both owned dogs which they named Toy. Forty years after their

childhood separation, the two men were reunited to share their amazingly similar lives.

TASK 2

Piggy-backing on a modified Boeing 747 jet, the 75-ton space shuttle Endeavour appeared

over San Francisco at around half past nine in the morning and some two hours later over the

landmarks of Los Angeles, including Disneyland, the Getty Center, Universal Studios and

Malibu Beach. It then landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

Endeavour, the youngest shuttle from a fleet that includes Atlantis and Discovery, replaced

the shuttle Challenger, which was destroyed in an accident in 1986 that killed seven

astronauts.

In service since 1992, it has made 25 trips, logged 198 million km in space and circled the

globe almost 4,700 times. In mid-October, Endeavour will parade through the streets of Los

Angeles as it makes its way to a museum. Los Angeles has ordered 400 trees to be cut down

and street lights and traffic lights are to be temporarily removed to let the space shuttle pass

through neighbourhood streets. There are plans for 1,000 new trees to be planted to replace

those felled. Endeavour will be on display from 30 October.

Last year, NASA, the US space agency, retired the three ships in its fleet after finishing the

US portion of the $100 billion International Space Station, a permanently staffed research

facility that is owned by 15 countries and flies about 402km above Earth.

The closure of the programme was ordered by the White House, so NASA could devote more

resources to destinations beyond low-Earth orbit, such as asteroids and Mars.

NASA is leading the design of a huge new rocket and capsule for these missions, but this

hardware is not expected to launch with crew aboard before 2021.

TASK 3

A group of nursery workers in central Denmark have made parents an offer that they

might find hard to refuse. They have promised to provide two hours' free childcare on

Thursday evening, so that the parents can go to bed and make more babies. I asked Ms

Lotte Nyman of the Grasshoppers kindergarten in North Fyn about this interesting new

initiative.

What is the real motive behind your rather unusual offer?

Well, a lack of young children means the future of local nurseries is uncertain. I am sure that

nearly half of the nursery's families will accept the offer.

Exercises with question tags

Question tags - special cases

Tag Question Special Cases

Negative Adverbs

The adverbs never, rarely, seldom, hardly, barely and scarcely have a negative sense. Even though they may be in a positive statement, the feeling of the statement is negative. We treat statements with these words like negative statements, so the question tag is normally positive. Look at these examples:

positive statement treated as negative statement	positive tag
He never came again,	did he?
She can rarely come these days,	can she?
You hardly ever came late,	did you?
I barely know you,	do I?
You would scarcely expect her to know that,	would you?

Intonation

We can change the meaning of a tag question with the musical pitch of our voice. With rising intonation, it sounds like a real question. But if our intonation falls, it sounds more like a statement that doesn't require a real answer:

	intonation
You don't know where my wallet is,	do you?	/ rising	real question
It's a beautiful view,	isn't it?	\ falling	not a real question

Imperatives

Sometimes we use question tags with imperatives (invitations, orders), but the sentence remains an imperative and does not require a direct answer. We use won'tfor invitations. We use can, can't, will, would for orders.

	imperative + question tag	notes:
invitation	Take a seat, won't you?	polite
order	Help me, can you?	quite friendly
	Help me, can't you?	quite friendly (some irritation?)
	Close the door, would you?	quite polite
	Do it now, will you.	less polite
	Don't forget, will you.	with negative imperatives only will is possible

Same-Way Tag Questions

Although the basic structure of tag questions is positive-negative or negative-positive, it is sometimes possible to use a positive-positive or negative-negative structure. We use same-way tag questions to express interest, surprise, anger etc, and not to make real questions.

Look at these positive-positive tag questions:

• So you're having a baby, are you? That's wonderful!
• She wants to marry him, does she? Some chance!
• So you think that's amusing, do you? Think again.

Negative-negative tag questions usually sound rather hostile:

• So you don't like my looks, don't you? (British English)

Asking For Information Or Help

Notice that we often use tag questions to ask for information or help, starting with a negative statement. This is quite a friendly/polite way of making a request. For example, instead of saying "Where is the police station?" (not very polite), or "Do you know where the police station is?" (slightly more polite), we could say: "You wouldn't know where the police station is, would you?" Here are some more examples:

• You don't know of any good jobs, do you?
• You couldn't help me with my homework, could you?
• You haven't got $10 to lend me, have you?

Some More Special Cases

I am right, aren't I?	aren't I (not amn't I)
You have to go, don't you?	you (do) have to go...
I have been answering,haven't I?	use first auxiliary
Nothing came in the post,did it?	treat statements with nothing, nobody etc like negative statements
Let's go, shall we?	let's = let us
He'd better do it, hadn't he?	he had better (no auxiliary)

Now we'll look at some examples of tag questions of all types.
