Interviewer: Have you ever lost your passport?
Jan: Yes, I have. Once.
Interviewer: What happened?
Jan: Well, I was on holiday in Barcelona in 1978. At the end of my holiday, I went to the
port to get the ferry to Italy. I was saying goodbye to my sister at the port, when I
discovered that I didnt have my passport only half an hour before the ferry left!
Interviewer: So what did you do?
Jan: I went to the police station at the port and asked them if theyve found a British
passport. They looked at me and said Well, weve found a British passport, but it isnt
yours. So I said , Whats the name on passport? The looked and they said Jan
Latham Koenig. So I said Thats me, it is my passport! But they looked at the photo
and then they looked at me again and said No, this passport is not yours The problem
was that my passport was from 1968, ten years before. In the photo I had long hair, like
a typical hippie. But then in 1978, I looked completely different. I had very short hair. And
I was wearing a jacket and a tie.
Interviewer: So what happened?
Jan: Well, luckily I had my driving licence in my wallet with my name on it. After a lot of
talking they decided to give me my passport. Thanks God!
Interviewer: And did you catch the ferry?
Jan: Yes, just!

1:
a. Correct - In British English we use the present perfect if we talk about a result of a
past action.
b. In US English, its common to use the past simple to talk about the result of a past
action, but this isnt correct in British English.
c. This construction is not correct.
d. This construction is not correct in this context but could be used in a conditional
sentence, for example - Had you cut your hair, you might have got the job. But you
just look so untidy!.

2:
a. Use 'did you live' to talk about actions which are now finished.
b. Correct - Use 'have you lived' (present perfect) to talk about a state which started in
the past but still continues today.

78
Mdulo VII
c. The simple present cannot be used in this context. 'How long?' connects a time in
the past to the present, therefore the present perfect is the most natural form to use.
d. The past continuous form would be used if the person were not still living in Sydney.

3:
a. 'Just' tells us something happened a few moments ago, e.g.: 'Im not hungry. I've just
had lunch'
b. Use 'yet' in negatives and questions, e.g.: 'Has the postman been yet?'
c. Correct - Use 'still' with the present perfect to emphasize a continuing state.
d. Use 'already' to say something has happened before now or a particular time,
e.g.:'Sorry, I've already eaten'.

4:
a. If you talk about the first time you experience something - use the present perfect
rather than the simple past.
b. Fliedis not a correct form of the verb to fly. (Fly / flew / flown)
c. Fliedis not a correct form of the verb to fly. (Fly / flew / flown
d. Correct

5:
a. With questions like 'Have you?' you need the past participle. Ateis the past form.
b. Correct - 'Have you + past participle (eaten)'.
c. The past participle of 'eat' is irregular. (eat / ate / eaten)
d. With questions like 'Have you?' you need the past participle. Eatis the infinitive
form.

6:
a. Correct - 'Just' tells us something happened a few moments ago.
b. Use 'yet' in negatives and questions, e.g.: 'Has the postman been yet?'
c. Use 'still' to emphasize a continuing state. e.g.: 'He still hasn't called me'
d. Use just about tofor when something is going to happen in a very short time.

specific degree or experience to do that? I mean could I do something like that?
Woman: Well, most employers overseas are looking for someone who has at least a
Bachelor's degree and one or two years of experience. [Oh!] And what do you do? Are

confirmed that he has also seen the
strange light in the distance.

In a state of shock, they drove to the

so tired that she was dreaming, the police
gave her a cup of tea hoping to calm her
down.

Finally, the police agreed to inspect the car
and when they did, they saw the dust,
smelt the smell and also noticed some
small dents in the roof of the car.
7
Feeling terrified and out of control, the
family noticed a black powder seeping
inside their car and smelt a horrible
stench.

This story was quickly taken up by some
people as proof of the presence of aliens
on earth.

ELEPHANTS

The elephant is the largest animal to walk on Earth. An elephant can carry a load of 1200
pounds. They eat 300 pounds of food a day. An elephant baby can weigh 200 pounds at
birth. Elephants can live up to 70 years. Elephants can be trained to carry logs with their
trunks, and have been used in the forestry industry in Asia for many years.
Elephants also use their trunks for drinking water, bathing, and eating and
communicating.
Recently it was discovered that elephants can communicate over a distance of several
miles using infrasonic sounds inaudible to humans.
Elephants use their ears as a cooling system. Blood flows through veins in the ears and
as the elephant flaps his ears, the blood cools and flows through his body to cool off
other parts.
Elephantsfeet are large and round. They distribute the large animal's weight effectively.
In the past, elephants were killed and their feet were made into umbrella stands and
small tables for tourists. Now elephants are protected by special laws.
There are two kinds of elephants: the African elephant and the Indian elephant. African
elephants can be identified by the larger ears. The African elephant grows up to 10 feet
tall and weighs as much as 12,000 pounds.

99
Mdulo VII
The Indian elephant grows up to 9 feet tall, and weighs up to 8000 pounds. It's easier to
identify because of its smaller ears. Most circus elephants are Indian elephants. Another
name for the Indian elephant is the Asian elephant.
Unfortunately, there is a growing conflict between elephants and humans as more of the
elephants' habitat is developed. Elephants can destroy the crops of an entire village in a
single night, and this also causes conflict. At the moment, there are about 600,000
elephants remaining in Africa.
The greatest threat to elephants is the ivory trade. Most commercial ivory comes from
elephant's tusks. From 1979 to 1989 it was a bad time for African elephants. About
70,000 wild elephants were killed for ivory each year. In 1989 an international treaty
limited the trade in ivory, decreasing the number of elephants killed, but elephants are
still being killed for ivory. Please don't ever buy anything made from ivory! Don't even
buy anything that looks like ivory
