They appear in the books by the writer Arthur Conan Doyle. Watson first meets Holmes when Holmes is looking for a person to share his flat at 221B Baker Street. Holmes and Watson are about the same age, but they look quite different. Holmes is tall and thin with dark hair. Watson is neither tall nor thin and he has fair hair. He also has a moustache. The two men are also quite different in character. Holmes is a very private person, and he has a lot of secrets. Watson is the opposite. He’s friendly, open and honest. The two men soon become good friends. At first, Watson doesn’t know that Holmes is a detective. When a lot of strange people start to visit the flat, Watson asks Holmes about them. Holmes tells him about his work. The two men have a housekeeper called Mrs Hudson, who does the housework. Holmes spends most of his time doing detective work. Watson works as a doctor, but he helps Holmes in his free time. He isn’t as intelligent as Holmes, but he knows a lot about medicine, and Holmes doesn’t. Holmes and Watson are single when they first meet. Later, Watson gets married, and he goes to live with his wife. But he still sees Holmes and they continue working together. Watson goes back to live with Holmes when his wife dies. In Conan Doyle’s stories, the two friends solve more than 60 crimes together.

He wants to do everything she does. Janice adores her little brother, but mostly, Janice just likes to be in charge. When James gets a new set of blocks, Janice wants to be in charge of them. She takes them away from him and starts to build a tower. Of course, James does not like this. He screams and hits Janice. He knocks her tower over. Then Janice screams and hits him back. Their mother comes into the room. “Stop!” she says in a high voice. “Enough!” She picks Janice up and puts her on the couch. Then she explains, “Janice, these blocks belong to James. They are his. They are not yours. If he wants to share them with you, he can, but you do not have the right to just go take what is his. Do you understand?” Janice nods. Her mother continues. “What if I went over to the neighbor’s house and just took something that I wanted? That would be wrong. We do not do that. People have the right to their own things.” “Okay, Mom,” Janice says. “Okee,” James tries to say. @banu_oralbay.eng True or false? 1.Janice is older than James. a.true b.false 2.

False Women Taking the Husband's Name Many women in Western society, aware of the power of names to influence identity, are aware that choosing how to identify themselves after marriage can be a significant decision. They may follow the tradition of taking their husband's last name, hyphenate their own name and their husband's, or keep their birth name. One fascinating survey indicates that a woman's choice is likely to reveal a great deal about herself and her relationship with her husband. Women who take their husband's name place the most importance on relationships. On the other hand, women who keep their birth names put their personal concerns ahead of relationships and social expectations. Female forms of address influence others' perceptions as well. Research conducted in the late 1980s showed that women who choose the title Ms give the impression of being more achievement oriented, socially self- confident, and dynamic but less interpersonally warm than counterparts who prefer the more traditional forms Miss or Mrs. Choose the correct answer 1. According to the passage, women who take their husband's name ----. A) are achievement oriented B) give importance to their relationship C) are considered somewhat selfish by others D) are usually the dominant partner in the marriage E) don't like to be called by the title Ms 2. We conclude from the passage that the names and titles women choose after getting married ----. A) actually reveal a lot about themselves B) concern others, especially their husbands, a great deal C) have nothing to do with how women perceive their relationships with their husbands D) have caused a great concern in Western societies since 1980s E) show whether they are successful or not 3. It is stated in the passage that women who use the title Ms ----. A) are generally very warm and sensitive B) tend to be traditional in their outlook regarding marriage C) like to show that they are more achievement oriented D) are somewhat considered as selfish by others E) are the ones who use both their husband's and their own last name together @banu_oralbay.eng  Day 4 Listening New Friends Tom: Hi.

Much cheaper … and the food was out of this world! Z Well why I don’t I book that restaurant for next Saturday? T I’m not sure. Doesn’t your dad have a gluten-free diet? Z Yes, he does. So I suppose an Italian restaurant isn’t a great idea. T No. Pizzas, pasta … they contain wheat. Z But lot of restaurants have gluten-free options too. Why don’t I call and find out?
