Units 10–12: listening, must and adverbs
This review mixes four grammar points. Rules use must and mustn’t: You must stay on the path. You mustn’t feed wild animals. Adverbs say how: She speaks quietly. They work well. We use to + verb for purpose: We use a bag to carry litter. The first conditional uses if + present simple, will + verb: If we recycle, we will save resources. Read these four short listening texts aloud with a grown-up and answer the questions in the activity. Text 1 is about a nature trip, text 2 about a beach clean-up, text 3 about a school garden and text 4 about a neighbour who needs help.
| Grammar | Pattern | Example |
|---|---|---|
| must / mustn’t | must + base verb | You must stay on the path. |
| adverbs | verb + adverb | She works carefully. |
| purpose | to + base verb | We use a bag to carry litter. |
| first conditional | if + present, will + verb | If we help, the park will stay clean. |
Text one. On a nature trip you must stay with the group, and you mustn’t feed the birds. Text two. The children went to the beach to pick up litter. They worked quickly and put the bottles in a bag.
Text three. At school Hoda looks after the garden. She waters the plants to help them grow. Text four. If you help Mr Karim carry his shopping, he will say thank you. Always ask a grown-up first.
Listening check. A grown-up reads the four texts. The child answers: What mustn’t we feed (the birds)? What did the children put in a bag (bottles)? Why does Hoda water the plants (to help them grow)? What will Mr Karim say (thank you)? Then the child writes one sentence for each grammar point.
