Imperatives
The imperative mood is a verb form used to give orders, advice, instructions, warnings, and to make invitations, offers, and requests, among 
other uses. To form the imperative, use the base form of the verb. For negatives, use don’t (do + not) before the base form. See the examples 
below.
Order
Stand up!
Be quiet!
Advice
Wear sunscreen.
Study for your test.
Instruction
Cook the meat before adding the vegetables.
Don’t (do not) press the yellow button.
Warning
Watch your step!
Be careful with the wires.
Invitation
Come and have breakfast with us.
Drop by some time. 
Offer
Have some cake.
Get a free ticket. 
Request
Help me with my homework, please*.
Please*, do the dishes. 
 * In requests, please should be added to the beginning or end of the 
sentence to make it more polite. 
The auxiliary verb do can be added before an affirmative imperative to
Do sit down, please.
Do stay where you are.
Do take an umbrella. It is going to rain.

Reflexive pronouns
Reflexive pronouns are used to refer back to the subject of a sentence or clause. Therefore, they must be used when the subject and object 
are the same. 
Subject pronouns Reflexive pronouns
I myself
you yourself
he himself
she herself
it itself
we ourselves*
you yourselves*
they themselves*
*Note that -self becomes -selves in the plural form. 
The TV (It) turned itself off. 
You need to believe in yourself.
He did it himself.
We taught ourselves to play the piano.
When used in the beginning or end of sentences, reflexive pronouns give emphasis to the subject. Study the examples below.
Myself, I don’t appreciate exotic food.
I don’t appreciate exotic food myself. 
They also indicate that something is done without help. In such cases, reflexive pronouns can be placed right after the subject or at the end 
of the sentence. When placed at the end of the sentence, the preposition by is added before the pronoun. See examples.
Helen herself designed the logo. It was a huge success. 
She designed the logo by herself. It was a huge success.
True or false cognates
True cognates are words from different languages that look similar and have the same meaning. False cognates are words from different 
languages that look similar, but have different meanings. They are also called false friends. 
True cognates False cognates
animal, moral, hospital, capacity, logical, tourist, dentist,

Profile perfect
By Karen Ann Monsy | January 7, 2011
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Orkut — all over the place, aren’t you? 
Now find out how a single snap can say it all. 
Researchers suggesting people pay more attention to the kind of 
pictures, specifically profile shots, they post on their Facebook/Twitter 
accounts are on the rise.
According to freelance photographer Tiffany Schultz, “People don’t 
think much about their profile pictures — but they should because 
social networking sites are becoming such a huge part of our lives 
today”. Included in Tiffany’s list of absolute no-nos are the self-shot 
kinds (you know the ones: images taken with a mobile camera — and 
part of the person’s arm extending upwards into the frame) as well 
as the badly cropped ones (complete with some poor anonymous 
chappie’s arm flung around your shoulder).
According to research, the photographs we share online are one of the most important methods of 
building relationships on social networks. In fact, they create a more powerful connection than even 
the words we pick to describe ourselves.
Facebook and Twitter are generally seen as personal networking sites but profile pictures on 
LinkedIn and other corporate networking sites are equally important. “Potential employers may 
not be able to access your entire profile, but they can definitely see your profile picture,” Tiffany 
cautioned. The question is: what exactly do you want them to see?
Dr Asi Sharabi, social psychologist for Cosmopolitan, feels a person’s expression in his/her 
profile picture is a dead giveaway about his/her current status. A pouting pose, for example, would 
project a provocative, sensual symbol that indicates someone seeking intimacy or a partner; one of 
yourself on a carefree holiday indicates a possible tendency for escapist fantasies or over-stressing 
in daily life; on the other hand, a shot of yourself looking away from the camera would indicate a 
headstrong and confident approach to life.
Here are a few tips from Tiffany for how best to create that memorable profile shot:

They’re you. So make the most of them.”

Why You Are So 
Stressed About 
Stress
By ANNA ALTMAN
July 16, 2014 11:41 am
NPR conducted 
a study about how 
stressed out we are as a 
country, and the results, 
released last week, show that one in four 
Americans reported feeling stressed in the 
last month and one in two has experienced a 
major stressful event in the last year. 
Smithsonian Magazine, recommending the 
study, reports that this likely underestimates 
the actual stress load on Americans: “The 
survey only measures stress that people are 
conscious of, NPR explains, but research 
shows that people can suffer unaware from 
other forms of stress.”
In short, according to Smithsonian, “stress 
is becoming the national psyche.”
So we are barraged with new studies and 
ideas about stress and how it may be harming 
us – but many of them are contradictory.

through your mind when you start a new job. 
Before you start your new position you need to get in the right frame of mind, so you can do the

The first step in preparation for this new journey is to let all your fears go. Don’t walk into a new

had when you applied for the position. This was something that you obviously wanted to do and was

My teen daughter’s addiction to technology is ruining our 
family life – what should I do?
Question: I am the mother of three daughters (15, 13, and 11). Although I try to set limits, technology 
is ruining my family life. My oldest daughter in particular is addicted to Facebook, Skype, texting, etc. 
– whenever I try to reduce or eliminate her access, she finds a way to be in touch with her friends. Plus, 
when she does interact with friends via technology, she gets anxious, which leads to increased use. What 
do you suggest?
Anxious about Addiction
Answer: Dear Anxious,
As a teenager, your daughter is pursuing key developmental tasks through her media use – 
seeking experience, establishing individual identity, and connecting with peers. But the amount 
of time she is devoting to it, the exclusion of family, and the anxiety she is experiencing when 
interacting via technology – and the fact that she responds to it by increasing her use – are causes 
for concern and could be symptoms of addictive behavior. Although the formal diagnosis has not 
been established in this country, Internet Addiction Disorder is a recognized and serious problem 
in parts of Asia and Europe, and it is causing real problems for American adolescents and their 
families.
Address this issue quickly, directly, and with compassion. First, at a time when things are 
good and you are not in open conflict about your daughter’s media use, sit down and have a 
conversation with her. Ask how she feels about her media use. Listen to her. She may be unhappy 
or uncomfortable and may say so if she doesn’t feel criticized or attacked. Then, when the 
opportunity presents, tell her that she seems anxious when she communicates online, and that 
you are concerned for her. Ask her what she thinks might help.
It’s possible that she’s feeling lots of pressure to be constantly available. If she acknowledges 
that that’s the case, enlist her help in finding peace for herself and your family, but be prepared to 
help her with concrete guidance and boundaries. Offer to take the blame if her friends criticize 
her for not being available at all times – she can complain that mom takes the phone away to 
charge it between 9 pm to 6 am, or for even longer if she uses it too much. This way, she can save 
face while reducing her anxiety, as well as learning to manage her media use in the context of 
everything else she needs to do in a day.
It is possible, though, that she will resist any and all of your attempts to address the situation 
with her. If nothing you try works – if she really can’t stop and it continues to wreak havoc for 
her and your family – you may need to seek professional help.
Enjoy your media and use them wisely,
The Mediatrician®

Drinking Wine Can Rot Your Teeth

Drinking wine can damage your teeth. That’s the conclusion of a report from the Johannes

food and drinks. It, ----04---- , means the teeth will stain quicker ----03---- someone drinks coffee.

consumption of white wines might lead to severe dental erosion.” The researchers did have some 
good news for wine lovers. They said food that is rich in calcium can help limit the damage. 
The report stated: “The tradition of enjoying different cheeses for dessert or in combination with 
drinking wine might have a beneficial effect on preventing dental erosion because cheese contains 
calcium in a high concentration.” Other factors can also help reduce the amount of erosion wine 
causes. Less frequent sips and swallowing the wine a little more quickly can help save your teeth.

TEXTING MAY BE TAKING A TOLL
They do it late at night when their parents are asleep. They do it in restaurants and while crossing 
busy streets. They do it in the classroom with their hands behind their back. They do it so much 
their thumbs hurt. Spurred by the unlimited texting plans offered by different carriers, American 
teenagers sent and received an average of 2,272 text messages per month in the fourth quarter 
of 2008, according to the Nielsen Company — almost 80 messages a day, more than double the 
average of a year earlier. 
The phenomenon is beginning to worry physicians and psychologists, who say it is leading to 
anxiety, distraction in school, falling grades, repetitive stress injury and sleep deprivation. Dr. Martin 
said he found that many were routinely sending hundreds of texts every day. “That’s one every few 
minutes,” he said. “Then you hear that these kids are responding to texts late at night. That’s going 
to cause sleep issues in an age group that’s already plagued with sleep issues.” 
The rise in texting is too recent to have produced any conclusive data on health effects. But 
three years, said it might be causing a shift in the way adolescents develop. “Among the jobs of 
adolescence are to separate from your parents, and to find the peace and quiet to become the person 
you decideyou want to be,” she said. “Texting hits directly at both those jobs.” 
Psychologists expect to see teenagers break free from their parents as they grow into autonomous 
adults, Professor Turkle went on, “but if technology makes something like staying in touch very,

immersed in studying the climate are projecting substantial disruption in water supplies,

Napoleon Bonaparte’s ambition to control all the area around the Mediterranean Sea led him 
and his French soldiers to Egypt. After losing a naval battle, they were forced to remain there for 
three years. In 1799, while constructing a fort, a soldier discovered a piece of stele (stone pillar 
bearing an inscription) known as the Rosetta stone. This famous stone, which would eventually 
lead to the deciphering of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics dating to 3100 B.C., was written in 
three languages: hieroglyphics (picture writing), demotic (a shorthand version of hieroglyphics), 
from right to left and in other directions as well.

Twenty-three years after discovery of the Rosetta stone, Jean François Champollion, a French 
philologist, fluent in several languages, was able to decipher the first word – Ptolemy, name of an 
Egyptian ruler. It was written inside an oval called a “cartouche.” Further investigation revealed 
that cartouches contained names of important people of that period. Champollion painstakingly 
and an Englishman, Thomas Young, worked independently of each other to unravel the deeply 
hidden mysteries of this strange language. Young believed that sound values could be assigned to 
the symbols, while Champollion insisted that the pictures represented words.

Drought brings Amazon tributary to lowest level in a century 
26 October 2010.
One of the most important tributaries of the Amazon river has fallen to its lowest level in over a 
century, following a fierce drought that has isolated tens of thousands of rainforest inhabitants and 
raised concerns about the possible impact of climate change on the region. 
The drought currently affecting areas of Amazonia has been described as the one of the worst in the last 
40 years, with the rio Negro or Black river, which flows into the world-famous rio Amazonas, reportedly 
hitting its lowest levels since records began in 1902 on Sunday. In 24 hours the level of the rio Negro 
near Manaus in Brazil dropped 6 cm to 13.63 metres, a historic low. The Solimoes and Amazonas rivers 
have also seen their waters plunge since early August, isolating village dwellers who rely on the Amazon’s 
waterways for transport and food and marooning wooden boats on brown sand banks.
Authorities say around 62,000 families have been affected by this year’s receding rivers. The 
problem has been particularly intense up river from state capital Manaus towards the border with 
Peru and Colombia. But the area around the city has also been badly hit. In Iranduba, 15 miles from 
Manaus, authorities are reportedly planning to build a small road through the rainforest in order to 
reconnect their community with the outside world.
ferried around 830 tons of food aid to isolated regions near the Amazon towns of Tefe and Tabatinga. 
“Medium and large boats have not been able to reach various places across the Amazon,” he said. 
“Our planes take the supplies to the airport and from there the transport has to be done in small boats 
or on foot – these are the only ways of reaching some communities.”
Meteorologists andactivists are divided on the drought’s causes – some point to hurricanes in 
the Atlantic which may have drained humidity from the Amazon while others blame forest fires 
for reducing rainfall or speculate that early effects of global warming may already be reshaping the 
drought, said that while the rise and fall of the Amazon’s rivers was a normal process, recent years had 
seen both extreme droughts and flooding become worryingly frequent. “If this situation continues the 
state of Amazonas will live in a permanent state of emergency. The changes in people’s lives would be 
horrific.”
