In different states and countries, they use different words to describe an object. There are
words used by people who live in a specific area. For example: a drinking fountain is called a
bubbler in Wisconsin because there is a company called Bubbler, and they make drinking
fountains. In England they may say rubbish bin instead of garbage can. In America, garbage
can is also called a trash can or waste basket.

CULTURAL NOTE
Physical Education is an important part of the American school system. In elementary school,
the students have a recess, which is free play outside, and they are also introduced to a formal
physical education class. This class continues to play a role in education throughout middle
and high school. In high school, there are often many different types of physical education
classes from which students can choose. Physical education class encourages movement and
health. The students learn to play sports and do certain exercises with the goal of promoting a
lifetime of good health.
There are many ways to refer to the physical education class. It depends on which state you
are in, but phys ed. and gym are the two most well-known abbreviations. People also say
PE class or phy ed. class.

CULTURAL NOTE
CULTURAL NOTE
Grades in a class versus Grade level
In America, the word grade can be confusing. A grade, as in the letter grade that you receive for your
work in a class, on tests, and on a report card, can be A, B, C, D or F. Usually a percentage is given to
help a teacher figure out a grade. For example: A normal grading scale may look something like this:
A 90 - 100 4.0
B 80 - 89 3.0
C 70 - 79 2.0
D 60 - 69 1.0
F 0 -59 0.0
So if you had an 86%, you would have a B in the class. Teachers also can add + or - to a grade.
So a 98 or 99 could be an A+ where a 93 or 92 would be an A-.
The word grade can also be used when talking about which grade a person is in, as in grade level.
If someone asks you, “What grade are you in?” You would reply with the year in school you are.
For example:
A student in grade 11 would say,
“I am in 11th grade.” or “I am an 11th
grader.” Both are acceptable answers.
Even saying, “I am a junior” would tell
the person what grade you are in.
Discussion Questions:
1. What is your grade level in an
American school?
SECTION 2 4-23
LET’S BREAK IT DOWN!
QUESTION WORD “WHY” (OPEN QUESTION)
The question word why is used to obtain a reason or explanation.
Why are you tired?
Why do you need five notebooks?
Why don’t you like science class?
Another way to use the question word why is after a statement or as a follow up to a question.
Example Conversation:
- I love history class.
- Why?
- Because it is a lot of fun.
Example Conversation:
- Do you like physics?
- No, I do not.
- Why not?
- Because it is very difficult.
In Chapter 2, you learned the verb to like + infinitive. Now let’s practice the verb to like + noun.
The formulas you use are: subject + like/likes + noun
subject + do not/does not + like + noun

5. Why does Megan like German?
6. Sam likes gym because it is easy.
7. Why don’t you like geography?
SECTION 2 4-25
ACTIVITIES
ACTIVITY 4.2.14 - SPEAK: Do you like your classes?
LAD Pairing Activity

why or why not. After the first person’s questions have been asked and answered, the sec-
ond person will ask 5 questions and follow up with why or why not.
TEACHER NOTE: If you want to be able to listen to these conversations later, launch the

Second person: No, I don’t.
First person: Why don’t you like it?

TELLING TIME (MORNING VS. AFTERNOON)
Morning vs. Afternoon
How can you tell if you are talking about 7:00 in the morning or evening when speaking in English?
Many countries use the 24 hour clock. In America, we do not.
We rely on a.m. and p.m. to show if we are talking about before or after midday.
(*Midday = noon or 12:00 p.m.)
For morning hours you use a.m. For afternoon/evening hours you use p.m.
The term a.m. stands for “ante meridiem” and The term p.m. stands for “post meridiem” and
it is Latin for ‘before midday’. it is Latin for ‘after midday’.
Written: 7:00 a.m. or 7:00 AM Written: 7:00 p.m. or 7:00 PM

Open-ended questions cannot be answered with ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
Open-ended questions seek more information.
They are often referred to as ‘Wh’ questions because the majority of open-ended question words begin
with ‘wh’. (Who, what, where, why, when, which) Example of a non-wh question word is how.
