ХІД УРОКУ

1 Before you listen

Look at the picture and the extract from the newspaper article.

2 Which statement matches your reaction most closely?

a) It doesn't surprise me. This sort of thing is always happening in boxing.

LISTENING DIALOGUE

3 Listen and complete the dialogue.

penny: Look at this! Granger is on a life-support machine.

dick: Who?

penny: The boxer who got knocked out the other night in the World Heavyweight Championship.

dick: Yes.! It was a good match.

penny: Well, I didn't think so. How …. a good match when people get brain damage like that?I banned as a sport.

Dick: Oh come on! It’s not that dangerous. Boxers don’t get hurt very often.

Penny: But they…. And seriously too. Look What happened to Terry Granger. In fact…it doesn’t happen to more boxers.

Grammar focus: Using stress

Different words in a sentence can be stressed depending on what aspect of the truth the speaker wishes to emphasize.

He was at home, (but she wasn't)

He was at home, (even if you think he wasn't)

He was at home, (not at work)

Adding an auxiliary

With positive statements in the present or past simple do, does or did is added. But they do get hurt. But I did pay him.

Using cleft sentences

If we want to emphasize a special part of the sentence, it can be preceded by a separate clause starting with What. What I can't understand is how they managed to find that sort of money. (= I can't understand how...) What amazes me is that people didn't object. (= It amazes me that...)

Using the adverbs that or really

In informal speech, that can be used to emphasize adjectives in questions and negative statements.

It's not that dangerous.

Is it that dangerous?

Really can be used to emphasize verbs, adjectives and adverbs.

/ really think it should be banned.

It's really dangerous.

He drove really dangerously.

S SPEECHWORK: Emphatic stress on verbs
