It begins with an adverb and is always linked to an independent clause. Because the shoes were on sale, I bought two pairs. (adverb clause) (independent clause) Don’t buy that dress unless you really need it. (independent clause) (adverb clause) Note: When an adverb clause begins the sentence, use a comma to separate it from the independent clause. When the adverb clause is at the end, do not use a comma. Because, because of, since, and now that begin adverb clauses that give information about reasons. They closed the store early, since there were no customers. Because of must be followed by a noun (or noun phrase). They went to the mall, because of the sale. (In order) to and so (that) begin adverb clauses that give information about purpose. (In order) to must be followed with the base form of the verb. Advertisements use many techniques in order to convince people to buy products. Clauses with so (that) usually include a modal. I left my wallet at home, so that I wouldn’t be tempted to buy anything. If, even if, in case, only if, and unless begin adverb clauses that give information about conditions. I’ll write down my phone number in case you need it. Use if to show that the condition affects the result. Use even if to show that it does not. Use the present tense with an if-clause, even if it refers to a future time. We won’t go to the picnic if it rains. We’re going to the picnic, even if it rains. Where, wherever, and everywhere begin adverb clauses that give information about place. He buys something wherever he goes. The advertisements were placed everywhere you could imagine. A. Match the main clauses and adverb clauses to form sentences. Use correct punctuation. They patented their new formula so that no one else could use it. 1. They patented their new formula c a.

Farah: Let’s go so that you’re not tempted to buy anything else. Hey, where are you going? Amal: Look at this gorgeous sweater! Farah: Amal!

How many ads do you think you are exposed to in an average day? ADS EVERYWHERE: Do You “Buy” It? For most people, it is virtually impossible to go through the day without seeing advertisements. From the time we wake up and flip on the TV or check our email, we are surrounded by advertisements. They are in magazines, on buses, on billboards, online, and on buildings, to name just a few of the places we see them throughout the day. According to a recent study, the average person is exposed to between 400 and 600 advertisements each day. This means that by the time we are 60, we will have been exposed to 9 to 13 million advertisements! In the past, advertisements were usually designed to reach people in their homes through traditional approaches, like TV commercials and newspaper and magazine ads. However, people’s viewing habits have changed dramatically in the last couple of decades. These days, people are less likely to give one form of media their full attention. For example, even if someone is watching TV, they are also often using the Internet at the same time. Advertisers need the consumer’s attention in order to promote their products. But because getting this attention is harder than it used to be, advertisers have been forced to find new ways of reaching the consumer. One unconventional place advertisements are popping up is in doctors’ offices. In some doctors’ offices, pharmaceutical companies advertise products on everything from boxes of tissues to the paper covering the exam table. Doctors get free products, and the advertisers get the consumers’, attention. Similarly, advertisements are becoming more common in schools. “Free” products such as book covers and educational posters are offered by companies so that the company can advertise on these materials. In the U.S., a company called Channel One broadcasts a ten-minute news program followed by two minutes of commercials each day in 350,000 schools. Because the schools show these news programs, the companies give them thousands of dollars worth of much needed audiovisual equipment. Advertisers have found that one of the best ways to get consumer attention is to place ads in unusual places. So, ads are popping up in all kinds of unexpected places like pizza boxes, grocery carts, air sickness bags on airplanes, and even on pieces of food like bananas and apples. A television network recently imprinted its logo on 35 million eggs. They called the approach “egg-vertisements.” One of the strangest developments in advertising has been people selling advertising space on themselves! This mini-trend began in 2005 when a man offered his face for advertising to the highest bidder on eBay. A pharmaceutical company won the spot, paying the man $37,375 to place a temporary sticker on his forehead to advertise one of their products. He may have been the first to offer such an unusual exchange, but he was not the last. 74 @saudienglish MG_03_COMBO_TEXT_2024.indb 74 30/4/24 3:04 AM Perhaps the sneakiest form of advertising is called buzz marketing. This involves a company hiring people to create excitement about a product. In exchange for free products or money, these people pretend to talk about the product spontaneously in everyday settings to people they meet in their daily lives. Sometimes professional actors are even hired to pose as users of the product. If the technique is done correctly, the consumers do not even know that they were the target of buzz marketing. Lately, buzz marketing has been spreading to chat rooms, Internet forums, and blogs. Wherever we go, advertisements seem to follow. Unless you’re reading this article on a desert island, there’s probably an advertisement close by. And there seems to be no limit to the lengths advertisers will go to in order to catch our attention. In the years ahead, we can expect advertisers to come up with even more creative, surprising, and outlandish forms of advertising in their ongoing efforts to grab our attention—and our wallets! After Reading 1. How many advertisements is the average person exposed to each day? 2. What are traditional advertising approaches? 3. What does the author of the article consider to be one of the strangest developments in advertising? 4. What does the author consider to be the sneakiest form of advertising? 9 Speaking 1. Work in pairs/groups. Think about advertising that is used to address adults, teenagers, and young children in your country. Decide on 2-3 products and/or services for each age group. Which advertisements are more memorable, in your view? 2. Talk about the slogans, images, and methods/techniques used in these advertisements and make notes in the chart. Then use your notes to discuss your ideas in class. Target group Product/service 1 Product/service 2 Method/technique Adults Teenagers Young children 75 @saudienglish MG_03_COMBO_TEXT_2024.indb 75 30/4/24 3:05 AM 5 Do You Really Need It?  11 Form, Meaning and Function www.ien.edu.sa Conditional Sentences with Present and Future Forms You can use conditional sentences with if to talk about causes and results.

In what ways do you think men and women behave differently? 2. In what ways do you think their behavior is similar? 3. Do you think there are more similarities or differences? Do you think you know a lot about men and women? Answer True or False for these statements. Then check your answers with the results of gender studies. 1. Women talk more than men. True False 2. Women tend to worry more than men. True False 3. Men are more truthful than women. True False 4. Men are more easily bored than women. True False 5. Women have a greater tolerance for pain. True False 6. Women live longer than men. True False Sandy: I think women talk much more than men. Amal: That’s just a stereotype. Though I do think women talk more than men about certain things. Sandy: Like what? Amal: Women like to talk about their feelings, but men usually don’t. Sandy: Men’d rather talk about sports. Or cars. Amal: Typical! 1. The common stereotype that women talk more than men is wrong. In fact, recent research shows that there is very little gender difference in how much people speak. Some research suggests that men tend to speak more than women in formal settings, and that women speak more in informal situations. One study revealed that women speak an average of about 16,000 words a day, and men do too. 2. Studies show that women worry more frequently than men. This may be due to the fact that women’s brains produce less of a brain chemical called COMT, which controls anxiety. Having less of this chemical can make it harder for a person to stop worrying. 3. Women lie frequently, and men do too. However, research shows that women and men tend to lie about different things. Women are more likely to lie in order to try to not hurt a person’s feelings. They are also more likely to lie to try to avoid a conflict. However, you are more likely to be told a lie by a man for a different reason. Men more often lie in order to make themselves seem more impressive. 4. Studies show that men have more restless temperaments than women. For example, women seem to have a capacity to adjust to repetitive tasks, but men don’t. They dislike being asked to do such tasks and are less likely to successfully complete them. It is speculated that women do better in these situations because they have a greater ability to keep their thoughts and imagination active, even during tedious activities. 82 @saudienglish MG_03_COMBO_TEXT_2024.indb 82 30/4/24 3:05 AM 5. Many people assume that since women have babies, and men don’t, women probably have a greater ability to deal with pain. However, the research seems to indicate that, due to their body chemistry, women actually have lower tolerance for pain. During recovery after surgery, women tend to experience pain with greater frequency and intensity than men do. 6. Women outlive men all around the world, sometimes by an average of as much as 10 years. For example, in the U.S., the average life expectancy is about 79 for women, but only 72 for men. The gap is largest among people who live to be 100 or older. Worldwide among people 100 or older, women outnumber men 9 to 1. Answers: 1. False; 2. True; 3. False; 4. True; 5. False; 6.

Give an example. 2 Pair Work Work with a partner to think of another common stereotype about people. Decide whether you think the stereotype is true or false. After class, do research to confirm whether your decision was correct. 83 @saudienglish MG_03_COMBO_TEXT_2024.indb 83 30/4/24 3:05 AM 6 The Gender Divide  3 www.ien.edu.sa Grammar Verbs + Infinitives or Gerunds with Different Meanings Some verbs can be followed by either a gerund or an infinitive, but the verb + gerund and the verb + infinitive have different meanings. These verbs are remember, forget, regret, stop, and try. He always remembers to send his grandparents a gift on special holidays. (remember + infinitive = remember to do a task) He remembers sending gifts last year. (remember + gerund = remember having done something in the past) She sometimes forgets to call. (forget + infinitive = not remember to do a task) She sometimes forgets calling. (forget + gerund = not remember having done something in the past) I regret to tell you that I have a secret. (regret + infinitive = wish it were not necessary to do something) I regret telling you my secret. (regret + gerund = wish it were possible to undo something done in the past) We stopped to watch the sunset. (stop + infinitive = stop doing something in order to do something else) We stopped watching the sunset. (stop + gerund = stop doing something) I tried to reach them, but they didn’t answer the phone. (try + infinitive = make an attempt to do something) I tried reaching them by email. (try + gerund = try a specific method to reach a goal) Passive Forms of Infinitives and Gerunds The passive form of an infinitive is: to + be + past participle. Everybody wants to be respected by somebody. The passive form of a gerund is being + past participle. Being asked to settle an argument can be awkward. Auxiliary Verbs after But and And When an addition is made to a statement with but or and, often the main verb is not repeated. Instead, it is replaced with an auxiliary verb. but + subject + auxiliary My sister isn’t good at remembering special occasions, but my mother is. John doesn’t get frustrated easily, but Sam does. and + subject + auxiliary + too (for positive sentences) or either (for negative sentences) He enjoys outdoor activities, and his son does too. We don’t like going for walks in this heat, and he doesn’t either. A. Circle the correct form in each sentence. 1. Did you remember (to shut / shutting) the window before it started raining? 2.
