1.2. Listening
Listen to the following dialogue. I hope you understand what we are saying if
not, you have the possibility of listening to it as many times as you need!
1.2.1. Listening 1
Since our recent arrival in Sydney the weather has not been too favourable, so
Susan and me have spent a bit of time watching television and listening to the
radio in our hotel rooms. Listen to our conversation while we are having a cup
of coffee in the hotel bar.
Susan: Susan Australian TV seems to have a lot of current affairs programmes,

news broadcasts and documentaries. Last night I watched a doco as
Australians say- on Aboriginal people living in the outback, which was quite
interesting, I thought.
Matthew: I dont know which channel youve been watching, but all Ive seen
is detective shows (like CSI, Crime Scene Investigation), soap operas, such as
Home and Away; chat shows (Oprah is quite popular here!) and game shows,
such as The Wheel of Fortune and Deal or No Deal, to name but a few.
Something I have noticed is the poor quality of commercials here compared to
the ones in Britain. Most commercials are low-budget and they tend to advertise
a particular shop rather than a brand of something.
Susan: Yes, I agree. And sports programmes are quite thorough and
entertaining here in Australia, both on television and on the radio. It must be
because Australians are good at most sports!
Matthew: Id rather watch TV than listen to

radio. Ill be hooked to the radio when I get back
home in London; but over here I prefer TV; it
seems so different. I particularly enjoy the news
broadcasts, even though lately all the topics in
the news appear to be quite negative.
Susan: Yeah, its all about the high prices of

fuel, especially diesel over unleaded gasoline.
1.2 Ingls Avanzado (C1). Australia

Most long-haul truck drivers wont be happy about that!
Terrorism is a regular topic. Everyday there is something on Bagdad or on the

Israeli-Palestinian conflict. When is it going to stop? Recession, inflation, and
the dark prognosis of the Western world economy are also important pieces of
news, dont you think?
Matthew: Yes, there has been a lot of

that lately. Climate change and global
warming are other hot topics.
Ok it is great chatting about these

topics but lets have some fun. What
about going on a ferry ride on Sydney
Harbour this afternoon?
Susan: That could be great! The

weather is getting better!
1.2.2. Exercise
After listening to the dialogue write here the uncountable and countable nouns
that you have heard. You have the first letter:

1.4. Grammar
1.4.1. Past simple
Lets start revising the past simple tense.
USES
It is used when we want to say that something occurred in the past.
Examples
My parents flew into Sydney yesterday to start their visit to Australia.
John visited me two days ago. I havent seen him for two years.
It is used when we want to express that something was the case at a specific
time in the past.
Examples
On 12 March 1962, they got married.
I remember the time when we went to the cinema every Sunday.
It is used when we want to say that a situation existed over a period of time in
the past.
Examples
She lived in Brazil during her first years of life.
In 1970 he studied Economics.
It is used when we want to talk about something that happened in the past,
and we mention a situation that existed at that time, although this situation
stills exists.

Examples
All the buildings in this street looked alike.
Near my cousins house in Netherland was one of the most important

monuments in the country.
It is used when we want to talk about an activity that took place regularly in
the past, but which no longer occurs.
Examples
She contacted her friends every week.
He liked walking through the green forests in Britain.
It is used in structures that express future events, such as be going to, be due
to or be about to. The implication is usually that the expected event has not
happened or will not happen.
Examples
He thought for a second that the baby was going to cry.
Her father was about to raise his voice but suddenly he left the room.
ADJUNCTS OF TIME
When we use past tenses, we normally put an adjunct of time to indicate that
we talk about the past, both to specific and general period of time.
E.g.: It was terribly cold yesterday.

Three weeks ago I stayed in Paris.
The following are examples of adjuncts an time expressions:

recently just subsequently
again since Eventually
earlier previously At one time
Ever since first formerly

ADJUNCTS OF FREQUENCY
When we refer to habitual or regular activities, we can use an adjunct of

frequency to specify the regularity of the action.
E.g.: He went for a walk through the forest when he lived in the
countryside.
The following are some examples of adjuncts of frequency:

Often Sometimes Every day
Always Forever Frequently
For years Ever More than once
1.4.2. Present perfect
Present perfect simple
USES
It is used to describe events that have recently happened without a definite

time.
E.g.: My sister has left her bag in the pub we have been having a coffee.
It is used to describe events that have not happened.
E.g.: My boss hasnt found the telephone number for me.
It is used when we talk about an activity or situation that started in the past,
and still happens now.
E.g.: All my adult life I have waited for this.
It is used when we want to describe a habitual action in the past up to the

present.
E.g.: Ive never worked on Sunday, and I refuse to start now.

Present Perfect Continuous
USES
It can be also used to describe a state which lasts up to the present.
E.g.: Ive been waiting for you for three hours.
It can also suggest that an action is not finished, or has recently been
completed.
E.g.: The children have been walking for hours! They are very tired!
For and Since
We can not usually use an adjunct which places the action at a particular time
in the past with the present perfect, so we use SINCE and FOR.
We use SINCE when we want to refer to an action that happened in the past
and still happens now.
E.g.: They have come every year since 1950.
We also use FOR to refer to an action that happened in the past and still
happens now, but this one shows a concrete period of time.
E.g.: John and Mary have lived in America for five years.
Adjuncts of frequency
We can also use adjuncts of frequency with the present perfect tense.
Forever Just Already

Yet Frequently Often
Ive often wondered why I didnt work here years ago
We havent gone to watch the most important monuments of the
city yet
Theyve frequently had to go to the doctor with their grandfather
Jim has already started his first article

1.4.3. Future continuous, perfect and perfect continuous
Now, lets revise the future tenses. Do you remember them? Come on, lets
start.
Any reference we make to future events is usually an expression of what we

suppose to happen, or what we intend to happen.
Future simple is used when we want to talk about general truths, and if we
want to say something expected to happen if a particular situation arises.
Examples:
Peace will come soon.
This man cant work because of his illness. He wont earn anything, and
his family will go hungry.
Future Continuous
It is used if we are sure something will happen because plans have been made.
Examples:
Ill be waiting for you outside on the bench in the street.
Ill be seeing them tomorrow in the evening.
Future Perfect
It is used if we want to refer to an event has not happened yet but will happen
before a period of time in the future.
Examples:
Well have started the meeting if you come back late.
Maybe, when we go there, theyll have heard it from his friends

Future Perfect Continuous
It is used if we want to indicate the duration of an event at a particular time in

the future.
Examples:
By January 2011, she will have been working for this company for
fifteen years.
This house will have been being built since last September.
Adjuncts of time
We can use an adjunct of time when we want to make a general reference to

future time.
E.g.: Sooner or later I will go to visit Sydney.
We can also use an adjunct or an expression of time when we want to indicate

a particular time in the future.
E.g.: Next week my brother will be in Italy enjoying his holidays.
The following are some examples of adjuncts of time that can be

used with future tenses:
Sooner or later Some day In the future
One of these days Sometime Tomorrow
Next week Next year In two days
The week after next After tomorrow Friday next

1.4.4. Other ways of indicating future
We can also use other verb tenses to refer to future events or actions. How
about learning them? Lets go on!
Be going to
It is used when we think the situation we refer to will happen quiet soon, or
when we have an intention that it will happen.
Examples:
Were going to see a change in this neighbourhood in one year.
My brother is going to help me with the party Im giving next weekend.
Be about/be due to
They can be used when we want to refer to planned future events we expect to
happen soon.
Examples:
It is due to be finished by next month.
My brother is about to lose his job.
Simple Present/Present Continuous
Both simple present and present continuous can be used to refer to firm plans
we have for the future.
Examples:
The last train leaves Madrid at 12:00 oclock.
Im having a meeting in London next month.

Past Continuous
We can use the past continuous tense to refer to something planned in the past
that is going to be in the future.
Examples:
Two of them were coming to next Saturday journey.
Her family was going to an important conference tomorrow.
1.4.5. Countable and uncountable nouns
Now, we are going to learn the features of countable and uncountable nouns,
and the lists of the most common ones that are exceptions to these features.
Are you ready? Lets start then!
Lets see the countable ones.
Countable nouns
Countable nouns are those which refer to people or things that can be counted.
They usually have two forms: the singular and the plural.
We can put numbers and determiners in front of them if they are used in the
singular. We dont usually put a determiner, if we use the plural form, unless
we want to specify a particular instance of something.
E.g.: The rooms at Baths Hotel are much bigger that these.
Some count nouns have the same form for singular and plural. Most of them
refer to animals.
E.g.: a sheep / twenty sheep
However, most of the nouns related to animals have both singular and plural
form, but when we refer to them in a context of hunting, or when we say that
there are a great amount, it is commonly used the form without s.
E.g.: They hunted bison.

Sometimes we can use the plural form of the verb if we use the names of
several animals without s as the subject of a sentence.
E.g.: Salmon are more difficult to find in this water.
The following is a list of nouns which have the same form for singular and plural.
reindeer trout crossroads
cod mullet spacecraft
bison fish whitebait
grouse halibut species
reindeer shellfish offspring
sheep goldfish gallows
moose dice fruit
greenfly hovercraft mews
Uncountable nouns
These nouns usually refer to general items as qualities, substances, processes

or topics.
They have only one form, and they arent used with numbers nor determiners.
When an uncountable noun is used as the subject of a sentence, it is used the

singular form of the verb.
We have to notice that there are some words which are uncountable nouns in
English, but are countable in other languages.
The following are some uncountable nouns belonging to this type:
traffic news money furniture
information advice homework spaghetti
research luggage hair knowledge

When we want to refer to an amount of something expressed by an
uncountable noun, we can use a general determiner.
E.g.: He gave me little time for doing the work
Or a quantifier:
E.g.: Would you like a cup of tea?
There are some nouns that can be uncountable nouns when they refer to
something in a general view, and countable nouns when they refer to a
particular item.
E.g.: Yesterday, we gained fame in victory.

I am waiting for my first victory.
There are also some uncountable nouns ending in s which appear as they are
plural, but when they are the subject of a verb, we put them in singular.
They are usually nouns referring to activities, study and medicine.
Physics Linguistics
Statistics Genetics
Acoustics Athletics
Mechanics Politics
Aeronautics Economics
Sometimes these nouns can be used as plural, as for example when we talk
about a particular persons activity.
Mass nouns
When we are sure that the person we are talking to will understand the quantity
of something we refer to, we dont need to put a quantifier. These uncountable
nouns are also called mass nouns.
Mass nouns usually refer to substances, materials, drink or food.

E.g.: His wife loves wines and liquors.
Examples of mass nouns are:
wood coffe wool yarn ore
soil sherry lager ink cheese
sauce jelly meat glue cotton
claret fertilizer lotion fur curry

1.5. Reading
Lets read now! After our conversation about radio and television. Susan and
me have bought a magazine and we were very interesting in reading an article
called: Australian media experience. This article looks like quite interesting.
1.5.1 Text
History of Australian Media
Television. Australias first media broadcast was by way of a news broadcast

presented by Bruce Gyngell on the 16th September 1956, when Bruce said
Hello everyone, and welcome to television.
Interestingly, only 1% of Sydneysiders owned a TV set, while 5% of the

Melbournites owned a box.
The first commercial television licences were issued to the Herald and Weekly
Times (Melbourne), General Television Corporation (Melbourne), Amalgamated
Television Services (Sydney), and Television Corporation (Sydney).
November 1956 saw TCN9 launch Bandstand, hosted by Brian Henderson,

who went on to become a living legend in Australian television. In the same
year, TV Week launched its own annual TV Awards, and GTV9s Graham
Kennedy won the gold award for most popular TV personality.
1959 saw the Australian Broadcasting Service launch Six O' clock with Johnny
OKeefe. In the 60s and early 70s many new programmes appeared (Sesame
Street, Young Talent Time, Hey Hey Its Saturday and A Current Affair) and
stations affiliations changed.
1979 sees SBS screen a series of multi-lingual programs on the ABC, and 60
Minutes commences, and goes on to become the most successful current affairs
program in Australian history.
The 1980s were huge, with many new hit shows, and live television was
elevated with telecasted of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics and 1986
Commonwealth Games from England.

1990 saw Network Seven and Ten go into receivership, with both networks later
being saved.
1991 sees massive coverage of the Gulf War, Glenn Ridge replace Tony Barber
on Sale of the Century, and The Simpsons premier on Channel 10.
Pay TV commences in 1995 with Galaxy, Foxtel and Optus Vision.
The 2000s sees Reality TV and games shows become all the rage with hits like
Big Brother, Temptation Island, The Osbornes and Who Wants to be a
Millionaire break record numbers.
Radio. Radio broadcasting in Australia officially started on evening of 13

November 1923, with a concert.
At 8.00pm on 1 July 1932, the Prime Minister Joseph Lyons inaugurated the
ABC.
Talkback radio started in 1967, with 3AW Melbourne hitting the airways.
Radio has even turned some journalists into broadcasting legends. Examples
include The Human Headline himself, Derryn Hinch and Mike Carlton.
For many years, the wireless was the most important and used form of
broadcasting for news and entertainment, and a weekend sitting around the
wireless was all the rage.
Newspapers. The Sydney Gazette the first newspaper printed in Australia, one
of the earliest pieces of printing in the colony.
Today, Australias most popular newspapers include the Sydney Morning Herald,
The Daily Telegraph, and The Herald Sun is the biggest selling daily, whilst the
Sunday Telegraph is the biggest selling newspaper.
Independent newspapers are making a small dint in the market; however the
big three will continue to dominate for decades to come.

1.8. English World
We were astonished the first day we saw Sydney. I have to say that we like
the country, the people, the weatherWe love the outdoor environment here
and the diversity is amazing. Susan always has the camera with her to take
photographs everywhere. Lets know more about Australia and then listen to
Susan talking about Sydney and our experience on a ship on the Sydney
harbour!
AUSTRALIA
It is in the Southern Hemisphere comprising the continental mainland (the

world's smallest), the island of Tasmania, and numerous smaller islands in the
Indian and Pacific Oceans.
The continent of Australia is approximately equal in area to the United States.

It is a federal constitutional monarchy under a parliamentary democracy.
The island continent combines a wide variety of landscapes. These include

deserts in the interior, hills and mountains, tropical rainforests, and densely-
populated coastal strips with long beaches and coral reefs off the shoreline.
Isolated from other continents, Australia has an abundance of unique plant and
animal life.
More information:
Full name: Commonwealth of Australia
Population: 21 million (UN, 2008)

Capital: Canberra
Largest city: Sydney
Area: 7.7 million sq km (2.9 million sq miles)
Major language: English
Major religion: Christianity
Life expectancy: 79 years (men), 84 years (women) (UN)
Monetary unit: 1 Australian dollar = 100 cents

Sydney and Sydney Harbour
Australias first city, Sydney grew out of a convict settlement founded in 1788.
Since then, Sydney has developed into an exciting cosmopolitan city offering
more entertainment, shopping, and sightseeing than any other place in
Australia. So that the best word describing Sydney is diversity.
Located on a stunning harbour, Sydney has a population of more than 4 million

and is known for its youthful energy and sunny, temperate climate.
Sydneys Aboriginal history dates back more than 22,000 years, perhaps even
up to 50,000 years with over 5,500 known Sydney rock art sites.
Some interesting places to visit are: Sydney CBD (Central Business District)
that is filled with things to do and see, and it goes from Chinatown to Circular
Quay; dont miss Manly Beach, the Sydney Northern Beaches, the Rocks that
provide a fascinating look at Australian history and Sutherland Shire in South
Sydney that has the beautiful Cronulla Beaches and is close to four National
Parks.
We decided to go to Manly Beach. The Manly Ferry is an easy and cheap way
to get there and to take a tour of Sydney Harbour. We were lucky enough to
buy a ticket for an amazing cruise on Sydney Harbour. I recommend trying the
twilight cruise it runs for 2 hours and you can eat as much as you like! Buffet
food is my favourite! You also get a complimentary drink so I chose
Champagne!
It was fantastic, a great afternoon full of fun, laughs and bubbles on board a
magnificent ship on the magic Sydney harbour. The crew was absolutely
fantastic, and the views of the city from the deck are very beautiful and unique,
something that we will remember for ever!
