GRAMMAR:BE ABOUT TO/ DUE TO/ LIKELY TO

BE ABOUT TO
Be about to is used to talk about things which are going to happen very soon:

I’m about to eat. Can I phone you back?

It is often used with just:

We’re just about to set off for a walk. Do you want to come?

When used in the past, be about to can refer to things that were going to happen but didn’t:

I was about to complain but he came over and apologized.

We don’t use be about to with time expressions:

I was about to call you.

Not: I was about to call you in ten minutes.x

BE DUE TO

Be due to is used to talk about things that are expected or planned to happen at a certain time. We often use it with a time expression:

Are you due to hand in homework today?

The train is due to arrive at Glasgow Central at 12:12.

BE LIKELY TO

Be likely to is used to talk about how probable things are:

Are parents who have a lot of money likely to spoil their children?

It is often used to make comparisons with words like more and less:

I think men are more likely to spend a lot of money on food than women are.

A: I liked Budapest as well.

B:Yeah. I’m probably less likely to go back there than to Prague.

We also use it’s likely followed by that + clause:

It’s likely that sales will rise.

We form the negative of be likely to and be likely that either with not or with unlikely.Unlikely is more formal:

The company is not likely to make a profit in the second half of the year.

People are unlikely to listen to him now because they know he lied.

IDIOMS AND SLANG

In advertising, online, and in conversation, language becomes far less structured. Taking the time to understand slang and informal speech might save someone a whole lot of confusion. In understanding and in speaking, it will allow you  to use language in a current way.

Go through the games and ENJOY!

2nd TERM READING

2ND TERM READING: A CONVICT'S TALE 

               ENGLAND IN 18TH CENTURY                               

Severe financial problems begin for Ann Telford, her mother Edna and her brother William about a year after Ann’s father dies. Although Edna Telford works as a maid, there is only enough money for basic food and other necessities. One evening, Mrs Telford doesn’t return home. Ann goes to the house of her mother’s employer and learns from the butler that her mother is at the police station. Mrs Telford is accused of stealing wool from her employer. Later, in court, Mrs Telford admits that she stole some wool to make warm scarves for her children, although she planned to return the wool later. The jury finds her guilty and her punishment is death by hanging.

AUSTRALIA: Captain Cook sailed along and mapped the east coast of Australia in 1770. He claimed the area for the British government and named it New South Wales. After the loss of the American colonies, the government sent the First Fleet with 11 convict ships under the command of Captain Arthur Phillip to establish a penal colony there. They arrived on 20th January 1788 and founded Port Jackson which later became known as Sydney. Because of its isolation, Australia was considered ideal as a penal colony.
