Unit 9 Review

Welcome to the Unit 9 Review! In this unit we looked at celebrations — birthday parties, family meals and special days with friends. We practised the words we use when we talk about parties, food and plans, and we revised two important grammar areas: countable and uncountable nouns, and the going to future.

Here are some of the most useful celebration words. party, present, cake, candles, balloons, guests, music, decorate, celebrate, invite, blow out. You can use them to describe what happens at a party, or to plan one. For example: We had a great party on Saturday. Mum made a chocolate cake. I got a lovely present from my sister.

We use countable nouns when we can count things one by one: a cake, two cakes, three balloons, ten guests. We use uncountable nouns for things we cannot count as single items: water, rice, music, money. We use some and any with both kinds, but we use many with countable nouns (many friends) and much with uncountable nouns (much water).

We use going to + verb to talk about plans and things we have already decided to do. The form is: am / is / are + going to + verb. Look at these examples: I'm going to bake a cake. She's going to invite her friends. Are you going to come to the party? We are going to buy some balloons.

For your writing task, you will write a short blog post about a celebration you are planning. Use celebration words, talk about food and drinks, and use going to to talk about your plans.

Using capital letters — A good writer starts every sentence with a capital letter and capitalises the names of people, places and days (Sarah, London, Saturday).

ملخص الوحدة التاسعة: الاحتفالات

يا هلا بيك في ريفيو الوحدة التاسعة! الوحدة دي كانت عن الاحتفالات - أعياد الميلاد، الولائم العائلية، والأيام المميزة مع الصحاب. اتعلمت كلمات كتير حلوة وراجعنا كام نقطة جرامر مهمة. تعالوا نفتكرهم مع بعض.

كلمات الاحتفالات

اتعلمت مجموعة كلمات تتصف بيها أي حفلة بسهولة:

party = حفلة
cake = كيكة
candles = شموع
balloons = بالونات
guests = ضيوف
present = هدية
decorate = تزيّن
celebrate = يحتفل
invite = يدعو
blow out = يطفي (زي ما بتقول "blow out the candles")

الأسماء المعدودة وغير المعدودة (Countable and Uncountable)

النقطة دي مهمة جداً. الاسم المعدود هو اللي تقدر تعده واحدة واحدة، وبيقبل الجمع بسهولة: a cake, two cakes, three balloons, ten guests. الاسم الغير معدود هو اللي ما تقدرش تعدده وحدة وحدة: water, rice, music, money.

مع النوعين بتقدر تستخدم some وany. لكن:

مع المعدود بتستخدم many: مثلاً "many friends".
مع الغير معدود بتستخدم much: مثلاً "much water".

مستقبل going to

لو عايز تتكلم عن حاجة ناوي تعملها في المستقبل، استخدم going to. الصيغة بسيطة جداً: am / is / are + going to + verb

شوف الأمثلة دي:

I'm going to bake a cake (أنا ناوي أعمل كيكة)
She's going to invite her friends (هي ناوية تدعو صحابها)
Are you going to come to the party? (إنت جاي الحفلة؟)
We are going to buy some balloons (إحنا هنشتري كام بالون)

الحروف الكبيرة (Capital Letters)

اتعلمت إن الكاتب الكويس بيدأ كل جملة بـ capital letter، وكمان أسماء الناس والأماكن وأيام الأسبوع لازم تبدأ بحرف كبير: Sarah, London, Saturday. متنساش القاعدة دي في الكتابة.

مهمة الكتابة

دلوقتي وقت المهمة! هتكتب blog post قصير عن احتفال بتنظمه. استخدم كلمات الاحتفالات اللي اتعلمتها، اتكلم عن الأكل والمشروبات، واستخدم going to عشان تقول خططك. ابدأ جملك كلها بحرف كبير ومتنساش تكتب التفاصيل الحلوة.

PREPARE — gather your ideas

Before you write, think about the celebration you are going to plan. Ask yourself these questions and make a short list:

• What celebration is it? (a birthday, a dinner, a graduation…) • When is it? (Saturday evening, next Sunday…) • Who are you going to invite? (friends, family, cousins…) • What food and drinks are you going to have? (cake, juice, sandwiches, water…) • What are you going to do? (dance, play music, play games…)

Use celebration words, food and drink words, and going to for your plans.

WRITE — your blog post

Write a short blog post (about 60–80 words) about the celebration you are planning. Start with:

"I am going to have a party…"

In your blog post: • use celebration words (cake, balloons, music, guests, present) • talk about food and drinks with some and any • use going to to talk about your plans • remember to use capital letters at the start of every sentence and for names (Sarah, London, Saturday)

REVIEW — check your writing

Read your blog post again and check your work:

✓ Does every sentence start with a capital letter? ✓ Did I use going to for my plans? (I am going to… / She is going to…) ✓ Did I use some / any with food and drinks? ✓ Are names of people and places capitalised? (Sarah, not sarah) ✓ Did I use many with countable words and much with uncountable words?

Fix any mistakes. Well done!
