Reading and vocabulary

• Read the text on p. 68-69 called "War Zones"
  
• Do exercise 2. Match sentences A-F to gaps 1-5 in the article There is one sentence that you do not need.

Reading: Tips

• Look carefully at the sentences before and after the gap. This will help you to predict what information is missing.
  
• You should also read the options carefully and look for key words to help you.
  
• For example, the words before gap 4 - the situation isn't going to change - match the meaning of are not going to leave...soon. Therefore, sentence A fits into gap 4.
  

Exercise 2
Fill in the answers, put the letters in the correct order.

Collocations: exercise 4

Collocations = the combination of words formed when two or more words are often used together in a way that sounds correct.

• Do exercise 4. Find the verbs in the article and write the nouns that go with them. For example , find the verb "get into" in line 24, and write down the noun: trouble. The correct collocation is "to get into trouble". You need to study these! 

Exercise 4

1. trouble
2. people
3. offenders
4. a fine
5. in court
6. (terrible) crimes
7. somebody with assault 
8. in prison

Negative prefixes: un-, im-, ir- and il-

We often add the prefix un- to a word to make it negative.

However, when the word starts with l, m, p or r, we often use a different prefix.

•  im-   + m or p     perfect -> imperfect (means: not perfect)
•                                  moral -> immoral (means: not moral)
• ir-   + r                     rational -> irrational (means not rational)
  
• il-    + l   literate -> illiterate (means: unable to read and write) 
  

Negative prefixes: Exercise 6

2. irresponsible
3. unthinkable
4. illegal
5. impolite
