Listening – The Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital

3. (Track 1.3)Listen to story of The Ellis Island Immigrant
Hospital.

Ellis Island and the neighboring Statue of Liberty remain two of
New York’s most-visited landmarks. Over 4 millions tourists sail to
Ellis Island every year, often to see the rooms where many of
their ancestors first entered the United States. But Ellis Island has
a hidden side—while the half of the island nearest Manhattan
is home to once-thriving former immigration halls, the other is
home to an abandoned hospital.

Opened in 1902, the Ellis Island Immigrant Hospital served as a
detention facility for those deemed unfit for entry into New
York. Upon arrival from Europe, immigrants were subjected to a
brief medical examination (often as quick as 30 seconds), and
chalk marks made upon their clothing signified whether they
were able to enter the U.S. or sent to the other side of the
island for treatment and monitoring. The hospital had wards for
patients suffering from contagious diseases such as
tuberculosis, diphtheria, and cholera, as well as an autopsy
room and vast sterilization facilities for the medical staff.
Somewhere around 3500 unfortunate patients died on the
island, while 350 babies were born there.

The hospital was closed in the 1930s, and has gradually fallen
into decay ever since. In recent years, limited tours by the Save
Ellis Island organization and an art installation have allowed a
small number into the crumbling ruins of Ellis Island’s dark side.

3. (Track 2.3)Listen to story of The oldest amusement park in the world.

The origins of Dyrehavsbakken can be traced back to 1583
when Kirsten Piil discovered a natural spring in what is now
known as Jægersborg Dyrehave or Dyrehaven, a large
forest park north of Copenhagen. Residents of Copenhagen
were attracted to the spring water due to the poor water
quality in central Copenhagen during this period. Many
believed the natural spring to have curative properties, and
therefore Piil's discovery drew large crowds, especially in the
springtime. These large crowds attracted entertainers and
hawkers, whose presence are the origins of the amusement
park today.

For a period the area that the spring was located on, was
not open to the public due to it being on royal hunting
grounds. In 1669, King Frederick III decided to set up an
animal park in the area and his son, Christian V, extended
the size of the park by 3-4 times after he became king in
1670. The area was named Jægersborg Dyrehave, its
present name, in 1671. The park was off-limits to the general
public under Christian V and this did not change until 1756,
under Frederick V.

7

Open to the general public once again, Dyrehavsbakken began to flourish. The
entertainers, hawkers, and innkeepers returned to the area, and Bakken's growing
reputation throughout Europe attracted other entertainers and artists, including
Pjerrot, the clown who still is a fixture at the park today. Bakken continued to grow
even throughout the Napoleonic Wars. Its popularity was later aided by easier
accessibility due to the development of steamships (1820) and railroads (1864), as
well as good publicity from poets and authors.

As the popularity of Bakken grew, its conditions worsened. As a result, some of the
business owners, or "tent owners" as they are still called today, created the
Dyrehavsbakken Tent Owners’ Association of 1885. The association improved
garbage collection, restroom facilities, water supply, publicity, and helped bring
electricity to the park. The association is still around today, and all businesses
operating in the park are required to join.

The entertainment options also improved over time. Cabarets such as Sansouci,
which opened in 1866, and Bakkens Hvile, which opened in 1877, became
increasingly popular. The 20th century brought other popular ventures, such as the
Circus Revue and automated moving rides. Over time, more modern rides and
entertainment options have been introduced.

Grammar Point : Past Continuous Tense

The past continuous tense, also known as the past progressive tense, refers to a
continuing action or state that was happening at some point in the past. The past
continuous tense is formed by combining the past tense of to be (i.e., was/were)
with the verb’s present participle (-ing word).
There are many situations in which this verb tense might be used in a sentence. For
example, it is often used to describe conditions that existed in the past.

The sun was shining every day that summer.
As I spoke, the children were laughing at my cleverness.
It can also be used to describe something that was happening continuously

in the past when another action interrupted it.
The audience was applauding until he fell off the stage.
I was making dinner when she arrived.
The past continuous can shed light on what was happening at a precise time in
the past.
At 6 o’clock, I was eating dinner.

Listening – Importance of Good Nutrition

3. (Track 3.3)Listen to story of Importance of Good Nutrition.

Your food choices each day affect your health — how you feel today, tomorrow,
and in the future.
Good nutrition is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle. Combined with
physical activity, your diet can help you to reach and maintain a healthy weight,
reduce your risk of chronic diseases (like heart disease and cancer), and promote
your overall health.
The Impact of Nutrition on Your Health
Unhealthy eating habits have contributed to the obesity epidemic in the United
States: about one-third of U.S. adults (33.8%) are obese and approximately 17% (or
12.5 million) of children and adolescents aged 2—19 years are obese.1 Even for
people at a healthy weight, a poor diet is associated with major health risks that
can cause illness and even death. These include heart disease, hypertension (high
blood pressure), type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and certain types of cancer. By
making smart food choices, you can help protect yourself from these health
problems.
The risk factors for adult chronic diseases, like hypertension and type 2 diabetes,
are increasingly seen in younger ages, often a result of unhealthy eating habits
and increased weight gain. Dietary habits established in childhood often carry into
adulthood, so teaching children how to eat healthy at a young age will help them
stay healthy throughout their life.
The link between good nutrition and healthy weight, reduced chronic disease risk,
and overall health is too important to ignore. By taking steps to eat healthy, you'll
be on your way to getting the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy, active,
and strong. As with physical activity, making small changes in your diet can go a
long way, and it's easier than you think!

Grammar Point : Present perfect tense

The present perfect tense is formed with a present tense form of "to have" plus the
past participle of the verb (which can be either regular or irregular in form). This
tense indicates either that an action was completed (finished or "perfected") at
some point in the past or that the action extends to the present:

I have walked two miles already [but I'm still walking].
I have run the Boston Marathon [but that was some time ago].
The critics have praised the film Saving Private Ryan since it came out [and
they continue to do so].

The choice between Present Perfect and Simple Past is often determined by the
adverbial accompanying the verb. With adverbs referring to a period gone by, we
would use the simple past:

I studied all night/yesterday/on Wednesday.
With adverbs beginning in the past and going up to present, we would use the
present perfect:

I have studied up to now/lately/already.
An adverbial time-marker such as "today, this month," or "for an hour" can take
either the simple past or present perfect:

I worked/have worked hard today.
We tend to use the Present Perfect when reporting or announcing an event of the
recent past:

The company's current CEO has lied repeatedly to her employees.
But we tend to use the Simple Past when reporting or announcing events of the
finished, more distant past:

Washington encouraged his troops. Because the time limits for Present
Perfect are relatively elastic (stretching up to the present), it is somewhat
less definite than the Simple Past:
Brett has worked with some of the best chefs of Europe [in the course of his
long and continuing career].
Brett worked with Chef Pierre LeG out [when he lived in Paris].

automobile

The first stationary gasoline engine developed by Carl Benz was a one-cylinder two-
stroke unit which ran for the first time on New Year’s Eve 1879. Benz had so much
commercial success with this engine that he was able to devote more time to his
dream of creating a lightweight car powered by a gasoline engine, in which the
chassis and engine formed a single unit.

The major features of the two-seater vehicle, which was completed in 1885, were
the compact high-speed single-cylinder four-stroke engine installed horizontally at
the rear, the tubular steel frame, the differential and three wire-spoked wheels. The
engine output was 0.75 hp (0.55 kW). Details included an automatic intake slide, a
controlled exhaust valve, high-voltage electrical vibrator ignition with spark plug,
and water/thermo siphon evaporation cooling.

The first automobile

On January 29, 1886, Carl Benz applied for a patent for his “vehicle powered by a
gas engine.” The patent – number 37435 – may be regarded as the birth certificate
of the automobile. In July 1886 the newspapers reported on the first public outing of
the three-wheeled Benz Patent Motor Car, model no. 1.

Long-distance journey by Bertha Benz (1888)

Using an improved version and without her husband’s knowledge, Benz’s wife
Bertha and their two sons Eugen and Richard embarked on the first long-distance
journey in automotive history on an August day in 1888. The route included a few
detours and took them from Mannheim to Pforzheim, her place of birth. With this
journey of 180 kilometers including the return trip Bertha Benz demonstrated the
practicality of the motor vehicle to the entire world. Without her daring – and that
of her sons – and the decisive stimuli that resulted from it, the subsequent growth of
Benz & Cie. in Mannheim to become the world’s largest automobile plant of its day
would have been unthinkable.

Grammar Point : Present Continuous

The present continuous tense is used for actions happening now or for an action
that is unfinished. This tense is also used when the action is temporary.
How to Form the Present Continuous Tense
The present continuous tense is formed with the subject plus the present particle
form (-ing) of the main verb and the present continuous tense of the verb to be:
am, is, are.
One simple example of this tense is: He is swimming. "He" is the subject, "is" is the
present tense of the verb to be and "swimming" is the present participle verb form.
Some other forms of this verb tense are:
 I am singing at church today.
 The boys are playing ball after school.
Examples of the Present Continuous Tense
The following are basic examples of the present continuous tense. The verb tense
in each sentence is underlined.
 She is crying.
 He is talking to his friend.
 The baby is sleeping in his crib.

"La Liberté Éclairant le Monde" or "Liberty Enlightening the World" is the official
name given to the Statue the Liberty by sculptor Frederic Auguste Bartholdi and is
a symbol of freedom to the entire world. In recognition of the friendship established
during the American Revolution, French statesman and writer Edouard de
Laboulaye proposed presenting a monument to America as a gift from the people
of France. The statue was a joint effort between the two countries - Americans
would build the pedestal and the French would build the statue - in honor of the
centennial of the Declaration of Independence.
Bartholdi was commissioned to design the sculpture, which he modeled after his
mother, Charlotte. Gustave Eiffel, who would later design the Eiffel Tower, designed
Lady Liberty’s skeleton - four huge iron columns that support a metal framework
holding the thin copper skin. Bartholdi chose copper because it was attractive, yet
durable enough to withstand the long voyage, and virtually impervious to the salt-
laden air of the New York Harbor. Bartholdi began by creating the statue’s right
arm and torch, which were exhibited at Philadelphia’s Centennial Exposition in
1876. In 1877, the 42-foot-high sculpture was placed in Madison Square Park at
Madison Avenue and 23rd Street to raise funds for the construction of the Statue of
Liberty’s pedestal. The arm and torch remained in the park for seven years.
In France, the completed head and shoulders of the statue were publicly
displayed to encourage donations. Various forms of entertainment and lotteries
were among the many methods used to raise money. In the United States, in
addition to the right arm and torch being displayed to inspire generosity, the
American Committee for the statue solicited contributions, and used art and
theater benefits, auctions, and prize fights to help fund the project. and
construction was finished in April 1886.

20

Meanwhile, the Statue was completed in France in July 1884 and arrived in New

Meanwhile, the Statue was completed in France in July 1884 and arrived in New
York in June of 1885 in over 300 pieces, packed in 214 crates. The re-assembly took
four months and the Statue was placed upon a granite pedestal on Bedloe’s
Island, renamed Liberty Island in 1956.construction was finished in April 1886.
. On October 28th, 1886, a decade after the centennial, President Grover
Cleveland unveiled and dedicated the Statue of Liberty to thousands of
spectators. In 1903, Emma Lazarus’ poem “The New Colossus” - "Give me your
tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…" - was inscribed
on a bronze tablet laid in the statue’s pedestal.

Grammar Point : The present perfect continuous

The present perfect continuous tense (also known as the present perfect
progressive tense) shows that something started in the past and is continuing at the
present time. The present perfect continuous is formed using the
construction has/have been + the present participle (root + -ing).

I have been reading War and Peace for a month now.
In this sentence, using the present perfect continuous verb tense conveys

21

that reading War and Peace is an activity that began sometime in the past and is
not yet finished in the present (which is understandable in this case, given the
length of Tolstoy’s weighty tome).
Recently and lately are words that we often find with verbs in the present perfect
continuous tense.
Mia has been competing in flute competitions recently. (And she will continue to
do so.)
I haven’t been feeling well lately. (And I am still sick now.)
Have you seen my wallet and keys recently? (Because I sure don’t know where

3. (Track 6.3)Listen to story of The Amazon Rainforest.

The Amazon is the world's largest tropical rainforest. It covers an area of nearly 2.8
million square miles, which is nearly the size of the continent of Australia. The
Amazon Rainforest gets its life from the majestic Amazon River, the world's second
largest river, which runs directly through the heart of the region. The rainforest itself
is simply the drainage basin for the river and its many tributaries. The vast forest
itself consists of four layers, each featuring its own ecosystems and specially
adapted plants and animals. The forest floor is the lowest region. Since only two
percent of the sunlight filters through the top layers to the understory, very few
plants grow here. The forest floor, however, is rich with rotting vegetation and the
bodies of dead organisms, which are quickly broken down into nutrients integrated
into the soil. Tree roots stay close to these available nutrients and decomposers,
such as millipedes and earthworms, use these nutrients for food. The understory is
the layer above the forest floor. Much like the forest floor, only about 2- 5 percent
of the sunlight reaches this shadowy realm. Many of the plants in the understory
have large, broad leaves to collect as much sunlight as possible. The understory is
so thick that there is very little air movement. As a result, plants rely on insects and
animals to pollinate their flowers. The layer above the understory is the canopy. This
is where much of the action in the rainforest occurs. Many canopy leaves have
specially adapted leaves which form "drip tips". Drip tips allow water to flow off the
leaves which prevents mosses, fungi, and lichens from occupying the leaves.
Leaves in the canopy are very dense and filter about 80 percent of the sunlight.
The canopy is where the wealth of the rainforest's fruits and flowers grow.
Bromeliads, cup-like plants, provide drinking pools for animals and breeding
locations for tree frogs. The emergent layer is above the canopy, and is the top
layer of the rainforest. Trees in the emergent layer break through the canopy and
may reach heights of 200 feet. Leaves in the emergent layer are small and
covered with a special wax to hold water. Seeds are blown to other parts of the
forest. Trees which rise to the emergent layer are massive. Many are braced by
huge buttress roots. Trunks can be 16 feet in circumference. Many animals that
survive in the emergent layer never touch the ground.

Grammar Point : Use the Semicolon

A list of grammar rules has to include the scariest of punctuation marks. It might
look funny, but don't be afraid of the semicolon; it's the easiest thing in the world to
use! Say you want to join two ideas but can't figure out or can't be bothered to use
a coordinating conjunction. The two ideas can be separate sentences, but you
think that they are so closely connected; they really should be one. Use a
semicolon.

The enormous Meenakshi Amman temple is a symbol of Madurai city and an
outstanding example of Dravidian architecture. This large Hindu temple
dedicated to Lord Siva and Goddess Parvathy or Meenakshi. The lord Siva also
called as ‘Sundareswarar‘ in Madurai. This large temple complex covers an
area of 17 acres.
There are 14 ‘gopuras’ or pyramidal gates rise to a height between 40 and 50
meters. The four of tallest gopuras of the temple stand as entrances and smaller
gopuras direct to the main shrines.
The gateway towers of the temple facing four directions. Visitors usually prefer
Eastern entrance of the temple as it open to the main shrine. The Multi-Storeyed
gopuras of Meenakshi temple also carved with figures of animals, Gods and
demons.

Grammar Point : Future tense

The FUTURE TENSE indicates that an action is in the future relative to the speaker or
writer. There are no inflected forms for the future in English (nothing like those -
ed or -s endings in the other tenses). Instead, the future tense employs the helping
verbs will or shall with the base form of the verb:

 She will leave soon.
 We shall overcome.

The future is also formed with the use of a form of "go" plus the infinitive of the verb:

 He is going to faint.

English can even use the present to suggest the future tense:

 I am leaving later today."

Note that the auxiliary will can be combined with "be" and a progressive form of
the main verb to create a sense of the future that does not harbor any hint of
insistence (which is possible with the auxiliary alone). For instance, if stress is placed
on the word will in "When will you arrive?", the sentence can sound impatient,
insistent. In "When will you be arriving?" there is less of that emotional overtone.

The construction form of to be + infinitive is used to convey a sense of planning for
the future, command, or contingency.

 There is to be an investigation into the mayor's business affairs.
 You are to be back on the base by midnight.
 If he is to pass this exam, he'll have to study harder.

To create a sense of imminent fulfillment, the word about can be combined with
the infinitive.

 He is about to die.

35

Other adverbs can be used in similar constructions with various effects:

3. (Track 9.3)Listen to story of The Fairbanks House.

Among the first settlers to land on the shores of the New World were the Pilgrims,
who arrived in 1620. In 1630, a larger group of around 1,000 Puritans settled in the
British settlement known as the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Puritans kept coming to
the Massachusetts Bay Colony over the following years, and in 1633, Jonathan
Fairbanks, the man who would go on to build the beautiful Fairbanks House,
arrived with his family.
The Puritan family stayed in Boston for about three years, but Fairbanks’ six children
needed more space, so he decided to move his family to Dedham, where he
quickly started constructing the new house.
Just like the other Puritans who for religious reasons came to North America during
the first half of the 17th century, Jonathan Fairbanks brought the traditions of
house-building from his native England. With the use of local materials, he
constructed the now famous Fairbanks House.
Nowadays, there are only a few colonial houses standing we can see throughout
New England, but they are sufficient to know that the first colonists to New England
(the Fairbanks family were among the first to settle in Dedham) primarily built one
or two-story timber-framed houses with a massive central chimney and low
ceilings.
Like most of the houses constructed then, the Fairbanks House was built of oak and
cedar with a large central chimney. Construction began in 1637 and according to
dendrochronology testing, (a scientific dating method using the analysis of tree
ring patterns), it took about four years before it was completed.
Apart from the fact that this house is ne3a9 rly four centuries old, what is also
fascinating about is that it remained in the hands of the Fairbanks family through

Apart from the fact that this house is
nearly four centuries old, what is also
fascinating about is that it remained in
the hands of the Fairbanks family
through eight generations. In 1904, the
last member of the Fairbanks family
moved out, but the house in a way
remained in the possession of the
Fairbanks when it was turned into a
historic house museum by the Fairbanks
Family Association about a year later.

Unit 6 Exercise 2
The red-bellied piranha is preceded by its fearsome reputation. Most of us know
them as fish that can tear the flesh off bones in a matter of seconds. This, however,
isn’t necessarily true. Red-bellied piranhas are mostly scavengers, so their diet
consists mainly of dead and dying animals. They also eat insects and plants. They
are more likely to be preyed upon themselves, in fact, which is why they live in
groups for protection. In cases where humans have been attacked by shoals of
red-bellied piranhas, the victims are usually injured or are children. Also, most of
these attacks occur during the dry season when food is scarce. These attacks are
rarely fatal, often only resulting in multiple cuts on hands and feet.
