Listening skills: Summarizing information you hear When you summarize what you hear, you say or write a much shorter version of it. In your version, you need to include the most important information you heard. Listen for the ideas speakers say first, say more than once or say a little more loudly than other ideas, and make notes on those in your own words. Finally, use your notes to write sentences. ⑤ In your groups, take turns to present the points you made notes on to the rest of the group. Make notes on what the other students in your group tell you. ⑥ Use your notes from Exercises 4 and 5 to write a summary of what you heard in the interview. 50

7 Read the Language box and choose the correct options. The zero and first conditionals In the interview, the expert used the zero conditional for a fact: If you will addict/ are addicted to something, your brain releases chemicals that make you feel happy when you do it. The expert also used the zero conditional to show cause and effect: • If you're not sleeping enough or eating healthy food, that also ² will have / has a bad effect on your health and well-being. • Then the expert used the first conditional to describe the future effects that a specific change in the present will have on teenagers. To form the first conditional, you use: If + present simple, will (not) + base verb. If teenagers who are addicted to the internet use their devices less often, their sleep and health will improve/improve. If you only 4 will spend / spend one or two hours online a day, you'll slowly become less addicted to the internet. REMEMBER! • Don't use if and will in the same part of a first conditional sentence: e.g.: If I will study... • The part of the sentence with if can be the first or the second part of the sentence. Remember to use a comma between the two parts of a first conditional sentence when it starts with if. 8 Read the sentences and write O next to the zero conditional sentences and 1 next to the first conditional sentences. 1 If they want our help, we'll help them... 2 If you spend too much time in the sun, you get sunburn. 3 If you want to make tea, you need hot water. 4 If you forget your notebook again, your teacher won't be very happy.. 5 We won't get there in time if we don't leave right now.. 6 If you take a lot of photos, you can look back at them to remember the day. 9 Use the words and the information to write zero conditional and first conditional sentences. 1 fact: computers / get hot / use them for a long time 2 cause and effect: you / not sleep enough / feel tired 3 future effects: you / not drink enough / have a headache later 4 future effects: we / do our homework well / get a good grade 5 fact: you post photos on social media / people can see them 6 cause and effect: you / feel bored / go outside and do something with your friends to feel better 10 Work in pairs.
