13 What reference words and clues helped you with Exercise 12?
Example: Luis's a travel agent so he's getting us a special deal.
Vocabulary: travel agent and special deal go together.
Grammar: so explains the reason why he can get a special deal and, of course, it's because he's a travel agent.
Logic: It's still expensive is the next sentence in the text because it follows logically from talking about special deal (money).
14 Pronunciation. Listen and repeat. Notice how there's often an intonation change on the link word e.g. so, but.1. Luis's a travel agent so he's getting us a special deal.
2. It's a bit expensive but you only live once!
3. The hotel's got a big pool, good facilities and a great health centre, so we're really going to relax in a healthy way.
4. A week isn't going to be long enough and I'm certainly not going to think about teaching.
15 Shadow read the text. Copy the stress and intonation and be especially careful

We both find Rio too hot in the summer. Petropolis is quite cool and very green. We're planning to go for long walks in the country and I want to go horse-riding. I'd love to do a course and learn to ride properly. There are lots of old buildings to see in Petropolis and everybody says the food is lovely there. So, we're going to spend lots of time sitting in restaurants too. I'm counting the days - we can't wait to go!

18 Past and Future Tense review. When was the last time you had a treat or were pampered? Example: Last week I went to a beautician and had a massage. It was a birthday present from a friend. The massage lasted for an hour and it was very relaxing. There were candles in the room and soft music was playing. It felt so good that after about twenty minutes I fell asleep.
. Listening to English a lot helps learners to acquire and understand patterns of words. Have you ever listened to someone speaking; they stop in the middle of the sentence and you know what they're going to say ..... next!?
. Learners can also work out what's coming next. Understanding grammar, tenses and connectors often helps with this. (see too units 6 and 9)
