CONDITIONALS


GRAMMAR IN USE

Conditionals are clauses usually introduced with if.



There are three types of conditional sentences: first conditional, second conditional, third conditional.

First conditional is used to express real or probable situations in the present or future.

We will go to the seaside if the weather is fine.

Second conditional is used to express imaginary or impossible situations in present or future.



// / spoke Spanish I would go to Spain.

Third conditional is used to express unreal condition in the past.

// / had left earlier I would have caught the train.

Learn and remember

Remember

We can use the following expressions instead of if:


as long as, supposing, provided, etc.

We will go to Britain provided we have money. What would you do supposing he were here.

We can use unless instead of if...not in First condi­


tional clauses.

She will be sorry unless you taste the cake.

• We can use were for all persons in Second condi­


tional clauses.

// she were here, I would be happy.

Zero condinionals



Zero conditionals are used to express the universal truth.

// it is very cold, the water freezes.

Mixed conditionals

All types of conditionals can be mixed and any tense combinations are possible.

// you had eaten proper food I would be healthy and happy now.

GEOGRAPHY. WEATHER AND CLIMATE. NATURAL DISASTERS

1. Learn to obtain more information

Asia occupies nearly one-third of the world's land, and contains more than half the people. It is clearly bordered by ocean in the north, east and south. The western bound­ary in Russia is generally considered to be the Ural moun­tains. The Caucasus mountains also separate European Russia from Asia, and the Straits of Bosphorus form part of the boundary. The Sinai Peninsula is a transitional area between Asia and Africa.

Asia is a very hot continent in summer, but much of it is very cold in winter. It extends from the heights of

Everest to below sea level in the Dead Sea, and contains tropical forests, jungles, tundra and ice caps.

Asia is a continent of extremes in more ways than its weather and climate: there are some very ancient civili­zations in both China and Mesopotamia, highly industrial­ized areas as in Japan, and some extreme poverty in India and elsewhere.

Africa is the second largest continent, and extends an equal distance both north and south of the equator. It is a warm continent, as no land is more than 36° north or south.

There are forests on the equator and vast expanses of tropical grassland all around the tropical forest area. The Sahara and Kalahari deserts occupy large areas. The Sahara is much larger than the Kalahari because Africa is wider in the north and it is drier.

Africa was virtually unknown to the outside world until the 19th century. Many African countries are still quite poor,though there is much wealth in the Republic of South Africa.



North America is the third largest continent, and is surrounded by oceans. The southern tip contains the Central American republics which link North to South America.

The islands of the West Indies are east of Central America.

North America contains large expanses of forest, grass­land and desert. Much of the continent is sparsely popu­lated, and although inhabited for a long time by the na­tive Indians, has been settled by white people during the last 400 years. Canada and the USA are rich countries, but Central America contains areas of poverty.

South America is broadest in the tropics and there­fore is a fairly warm and wet continent. It does, however, contain the Atacama desert which is the driest area in

the world. It also contains the longest range of moun­tains in the world, the Andes, which run from the north to the south of South America.



There has been much intermarriage between Indians, negroes imported as slaves to work the plantations, and the Europeans. As a result, the people of the South Amer­ican countries are very mixed and there are few racial problems.

Antarctica is a large land mass almost completely covered by ice, and surrounded by the great Southern Ocean. There are no real settlements in this continent, but a few scientific research stations are situated there. The climate is so inhospitable that normal life would be impossible.

The Arctic is a region of sea almost completely sur­rounded by land. It is so cold that the sea around the North Pole is permanently frozen.

Europe consists of many fairly small countries, but is well populated and well developed. The Mediterranean and Baltic Seas enable oceanic influences to extend far inland, and thus it is a climatically mild continent. It is really a large peninsula protruding from Asia, and is bro­ken up by many mountain ranges such as the Alps and Carpathians.

Australasia consists of Australia, New Zealand and the thousands of islands in the Pacific Ocean. These is­lands can be divided into three main groups — Melane­sia, Micronesia and Polynesia. Islands to the north repre­sent a transitional area with Asia.

New Zealand has a maritime climate, as nowhere is far from the coast, but Australia is a very dry country. It is in an area of latitude known as the horse latitude and the Great Dividing Ranges in the east prevent any wet weath­er from extending far inland. Because of this, Australia is sparsely populated in the interior and likely to remain so.

Australian settlement was mainly from Britain and began in the nineteenth century.

More than half of all the land in the world is uninhab­itable — because it is rock, desert, tundra (treeless Arctic plain), dense jungle, swamp or is covered with ice.

Nearly one half of the world's population lives on one-thirtieth of the total area of land. There are immense areas which are very sparsely populated — such as the Northern Territory of Australia; other areas — such as Japan and India — are very densely populated.

THE OCEANS



Water covers more than 70 per cent of the earth's surface, and the average depth of the world's oceans is nearly 4000 m (13000 ft); some parts are over 11000 m (36000 ft) deep.

The oceans are shallowest around the edges of the land. These areas, where the water is less than 200 m (650 ft) deep, are called the continental shelves. The deep ocean floors have a landscape as varied as the land above the water. There are trenches much deeper than the Grand Canyon in the USA, and vast plains of sand and mud.



The oceans and seas of the world have salty water. About 3.5 per cent of the total volume of this water is actually made up of salts which are dissolved in the water.

2. Fill in the blanks.

  1. In a ... climate, the winters are not normally very cold.

  2. The rainforests are in areas with a ... climate.

  3. During the day the temperature can rise to 52 °C and
    at night it gets very cold in areas with a ... climate.

  4. In a ... climate, it usually rains for 5 months of the
    year and is dry for 7 months.

  5. There aren't any trees in a region with a ... climate.




  1. In a ... climate it rains nearly all the year round.

  1. In the summer, the hottest temperature in a ...
    climate is less than 10 °C.

3. Read the text about the weather in East Texas.
Speak about the weather of the place you live in.

THE WEATHER IN EAST TEXAS In East Texas, near the Gulf of Mexico, the climate is hot and often very humid. Temperatures in summer are between 30° and 40 "C. 25 °C is a normal winter temper­ature, it is sometimes cold, but only for two or three days at a time. It snows perhaps once every twenty years. It quite often rains heavily for two or three days or more, but most of the time it is sunny with bright blue skies. Occasionally there are droughts — periods when there is no rain for a long time. It is not usually very windy, but there are hurricanes every few years.

4. Compose the dialogues on the following situa­
tions.

  1. Two students are talking about the weather in En­
    gland. One of them is saying that the weather is not
    just bad, but terrible. The other doesn't agree.


  2. It is a cold, foggy winter day. The weather report says
    the fog is going to get worse. Mrs Collins is phoning
    Mr Collins. He is at work. She is worried about him
    because bad accidents often happen on the roads, espe­
    cially after it gets dark.

  3. You are going on a long drive tomorrow. Your friend,
    Jane, warns you about the weather conditions.
