Listen to this conversation.
A reporter is interviewing Mr. Green,
one of the guides
at the Stamford Museum and Nature Center.
Listen to what they say.


a little bit about..., the more recent history, be located in..., be moved to..., be added to...

Could you tell me a little bit about
the more recent history
of the Stamford Museum and Nature Center, Mr. Green?
Certainly.
The museum collection was first located in
the Stamford Trust Company building.
But by 1945,
it was receiving so many visitors that
a new location was needed.
So that year, it was moved to a house in Courtland Park.
Tell me about the house.
It consisted of two floors.
The two large rooms downstairs
became an exhibit area.
The second floor became
the offices and an apartment for the director.
Was anything done to increase the activities there?
Yes. An indoor art gallery and an outdoor patio
were added to
the house.
But in time,
the patio was closed to
provide more space for exhibits.
Thank you, Mr. Green.
You've been very helpful.

Now take your pencil and a piece of paper.
Imagine that you are the reporter
and that Mr. Green is answering your questions.
Don't write down everything that he says,
just the most important details.
There will be pauses
after each group of words
for you to write.
Ready? Let's begin.

watched on TV , the qualifiers

Welcome to Book Ten.
This is Lesson One.
You're going to
hear a conversation
between two friends.
They're talking about
a movie
that they both watched on TV
last night.
As you listen to them,
notice the qualifiers
they use.
Remember,
qualifiers are expressions
like all of, most of, half of, and so on.
Ready? Listen.   


most of..., half of..., more than half of..., alll of..., think about..., agree with ..., part of..., any of...
How about you? As usual

So did you enjoy that movie last night?
Well, I liked most of it.
More than half of it was excellent,
I thought.
But I didn't enjoy all of it.
Some of it was too long and boring.
How about you?
What did you think about it?
I agree with you.
Most of the movie was good,
but part of it
seemed slow and uninteresting.
Oh, did I tell you?
My parents watched it too.
What did they think?
As usual,
they couldn't agree.
My mother thought
all of it was wonderful.
My father didn't like any of it.   

Now listen and repeat.

most of it   
I liked most of it.
I liked most of it.

half of it   
More than half of ...
it was excellent.   
More than half of ...
it was excellent.   

all of it   
I didn't enjoy
all of ...
it.
I didn't enjoy
all of ...
it.

some of it   
Some of ...
it was too long and boring.   
Some of ...
it was too long and boring.   

part of it   
Part of ...
it seemed slow and uninteresting.   
Part of ...
it seemed slow and uninteresting.   

all of it   
My mother thought
all of ...
it was wonderful.   
My mother thought
all of ...
it was wonderful.   

any of it   
My father didn't like
any of ...
it.
My father didn't like
any of ...
it.


the qualifiers:
a hundred percent of = all of..., 
zero percent of = not any of...
fifty percent of = half of...
more than fifty percent of = most of...
less than fifty percent of = some of...  ,  or part of...

As you know,
the qualifier for
a hundred percent of
something
is all of it.
For zero percent of something,
the qualifier is not any of it.
Fifty percent is half of it.
More than fifty percent is most of it,
and less than fifty percent is
some of it or part of it.
Now, you're going to hear a question
followed by a number with percents.
Use the number to
decide
what answer to give with a qualifier.
For example, I say,
"Did you like that movie?"
Then you hear. . .
Fifty percent.
And you say . . .
I liked half of it.
Or I say,
"Did you eat that pie?"
Then you hear. . .
Ten percent.
And you say. . .
I ate some of it.
Or you could also say. . .
I ate part of it.
Both are correct.
All ready? Let's begin.

Did you like that movie?   
Fifty percent. 
I liked half of it.
Did you eat that pie? 
Ten percent.   
I ate some of it.
Did you enjoy that mystery story?   
Seventy-five percent.
I enjoyed most of it.
Did you watch that TV program last night? 
Zero percent. 
I didn't watch any of it.
Did you do your homework? 
Ten percent.   
I did some of it.
Did you invite your friends to your graduation? 
A hundred percent. 
I invited all of them.

interview sb. to..., find out..., in their lives

Now let's listen to an interview.
A magazine reporter is interviewing a married couple to
find out
what they want more of
and what they want less of
in their lives.
Let's listen.   


do an interview for..., on people's lives, want more of..., want less of..., at home,
more money, more free time , more parking places , more kitchen appliances , more friends , a little more love,
less trouble with..., want more sleep, less pressure to ...,
fewer problems about ..., fewer arguments about...,
How about you? what about you?

Hello there.
Uh . . . excuse me, sir. .. ma'am.
I'm doing an interview for a magazine article
on people's lives.
I'm trying to find out
what people want more of
and what they want less of
in their daily lives.
How about you, sir?
Let's see. . .
What do I want more of?
Well, I want more money, of course.
And more free time to play golf.
Yes. And I want more parking places
when I drive to work
and less trouble with my boss.
Oh, yeah, I definitely want more sleep at home
and less pressure to
help with the housework.
I guess that's about all.
And what about you, ma'am? 
Well, what I want is . . .
more kitchen appliances to
make my life a little easier.
And fewer problems about
when I can drive his sports car.
I'd like more friends
to go to the movies with.
And I'd really like fewer arguments about
how much money we spend.
And maybe a little more love in my life.   
What was the last thing you said?
We'll discuss that when we get home, dear.
Well, thank you for the interview . . .
and for some very interesting answers.

Now listen and repeat.

more money   
I want more money.   
more free time
I want more free time.
more sleep 
I need more sleep.
more help 
I need more help.

less pressure
I'd like less pressure.
less trouble   
I'd like less trouble.
less crime   
I want less crime.
less work   
I want less work.

fewer financial problems
I'd like fewer financial problems.   
fewer arguments
I'd like fewer arguments.
troubles   
I want fewer troubles.
fewer accidents
I want fewer accidents.


more of C.N./ UC.N. ：more (free) time, more love
less of UC. N.：less crime ,  less work, less trouble , less pressure,
fewer of C.N： fewer arguments, fewer (financial) problems ,

Remember that
we use more of
with either countable or ...
uncountable nouns.
We use less of
with uncountable nouns,
like less crime and less work,
and fewer of
with countable nouns,
like fewer problems and fewer arguments.
Now you're going to hear some things
that you might like more of,
less of,
or fewer of.
Decide which form is most appropriate
and use that form in a sentence that begins
with I want.
For example,
you hear.. .
Free time to do what I like.
And you say . . .
I want more free time to do what I like.
You hear. . .
Crime where I live.
And you say . . .
I want less crime where I live.
Ready? Let's begin.

Free time to do what I like.
I want more free time to do what I like.
Crime where I live.
I want less crime where I live.
Time for my favorite sports. 
I want more time for my favorite sports.
Financial problems in my life.
I want fewer financial problems in my life.
Trouble with my car.
I want less trouble with my car.
Pressure at work. 
I want less pressure at work.
Arguments with my boss.
I want fewer arguments with my boss.
Love in my life.
I want more love in my life.

Well, most of us
want more love
in our lives,
don't we?
And less trouble.
And fewer problems.
But I think that's more than enough work
for now.

This is the end of Lesson One.

Now you're going to hear some things that you might like more of, less of, or fewer of. Decide which form is most appropriate and use that form in a sentence that begins with I want.

Welcome to Lesson Two.
You're going to hear a conversation

They're talking about
what the mother
can or can't do
because of her age,
and if she needs help or not.
Notice
when they use the form too

Or they may use enough

or before a noun
like enough strength
and enough time.
Now listen.

Here, Mom, let me help you
with those shopping bags.
I know, I know.
You think
I'm too old to
carry anything heavy.
You think
I'm too weak to
do anything.
No, that's not what I mean.
But you aren't strong enough to
carry those heavy bags by yourself.
I still have enough strength to
do my own shopping.
Besides, I know you're too busy to
help an old lady like me.
That's not true, Mom.
I always have enough time to
help you.
And I don't think
you're too old to
do anything.
Well, I suppose I am old enough to
know when I've made a mistake.
These bags are too heavy.
Maybe I will let you carry them for me!
Gee, thanks, Mom.
But don't drop anything!

adj. enough to... ：not strong enough to...,
have enough n. to... ：have enough strength to

Now listen and repeat.

too old to carry anything heavy
You think
I'm too old to
carry anything heavy.
You think
I'm too old to
carry anything heavy.

too weak to do anything
You think
I'm too weak to
do anything.   
You think
I'm too weak to
do anything.   

not strong enough
you're not strong enough to carry
You're not strong enough to
carry those heavy bags.
You're not strong enough to
carry those heavy bags.

enough strength
I still have enough strength
I still have enough strength to
do my own shopping.
I still have enough strength to
do my own shopping.

Now you're going to
hear a statement
that uses either ...
too and an adjective,
like too weak,
or ...
not and an adjective plus enough,
like not strong enough.
After you hear the statement,
agree with it,
using the other form
and a different adjective.
For example, you hear. . .
I'm too weak to
stand up.
And you say. . .That's right.
You aren't strong enough to
stand up.
Or you hear. .
.I'm not old enough to retire.
And you say. . .That's right.
You're too young to retire.
OK? Let's begin.


too weak to... = not strong enough to...
too young to... = not old enough to...
too poor to... = not rich enough to...
too short to... = not tall enough to...
too fat to... = not thin enough to...
too old to... = not young enough to...

I'm too weak to
stand up.
That's right.
You aren't strong enough to
stand up.
I'm not old enough to retire.
That's right.
You're too young to retire.
I'm not rich enough to
buy a jet plane. 
That's right.
You're too poor to
buy a jet plane.
I'm too short to
reach the top shelf.
That's right.
You aren't tall enough to
reach the top shelf.
I'm not thin enough to
wear that belt.
That's right.
You're too fat to
wear that belt.
I'm not young enough to
travel for half price.
That's right.
You're too old to
travel for half price.


have enough strength to... = strong enough to...
have enough money to... = rich enough to...

Now let's make a change.
When you hear a statement
using enough and a noun,
like enough strength,
change it to
an equivalent expression
using an adjective and enough,
like strong enough.
For example you hear.. .
She doesn't have enough strength to
carry those bags.
And you say. . .
She isn't strong enough to
carry those bags.
Or you hear. . .
He doesn't have enough money to
buy a new car.
And you say . . .
He isn't rich enough to
buy a new car.
All ready? Let's begin.


not have enough strength to... = not strong enough to...
not have enough money to... = not rich enough to...
not have enough intelligence to... = not intelligent enough to...
not have enough cleverness to... = not clever enough to...
not have sweetness to... = not sweet enough to...
not have enough difficulty to... = not  difficult enough to

She doesn't have enough strength to
carry those bags.
She isn't strong enough to
carry those bags.
He doesn't have enough money to
buy a new car.
He isn't rich enough to
buy a new car.
He doesn't have enough intelligence to
pass that test.
He isn't intelligent enough to
pass that test.
They don't have enough cleverness to
understand the instructions.

doesn't have enough sweetness to
drink.
This orange juice
isn't sweet enough to
drink.
This situation doesn't have enough difficulty to
cause a problem.
This situation isn't difficult enough to
cause a problem.

2.change an adjective to an adverb
　change an adverb to an adjective
　：

an elegant cocktail party, opera singer , fashion designer , meat each other ,

Now listen to this conversation,
which takes place
at an elegant cocktail party.
A famous opera singer and a famous fashion designer
have just met each other
and greatly admire each other's work.
Notice
how they compliment each other.
Let's listen.


be a superb singer,  = sing your roles superbly well, 
be such an elegant fashion designer = your designs are so elegantly made.
be such a graceful woman = Your clothes are so gracefully designed.
He says beautiful things. = He says them beautifully.

Luciano, I must tell you.
I think you're a superb singer.
You always sing your roles superbly well.
My dear Yuko, you are too kind.
I've always thought
you were such an elegant fashion designer.
Your designs are so elegantly made.
But of course,
since you're such a graceful woman,
it's not surprising that
your clothes are so gracefully designed.
Really, Luciano, these compliments are too, too beautiful.
And you say them so beautifully too.

Now listen and repeat.

He's a superb singer.
He sings superbly.

She designs elegant clothes.
Her clothes are elegantly designed.

She's a graceful woman.
She does things so gracefully.

He says beautiful things.
He says them beautifully.


change an adjective to an adverb：
be a beautiful singer = sing beautifully
be a graceful swimmer = swim gracefully

Notice
how an adjective like graceful or beautiful
can be changed to
an adverb
like gracefully and beautifully.
A few adjectives,
like good or fast,
have irregular adverb forms.
Good becomes well
and fast stays the same: fast.
Now you're going to hear a sentence
that uses an adjective.
Change the sentence
so that
the adjective becomes an adverb.
For example, you hear.. .
You're a beautiful singer.
And you say . . .
You sing beautifully.
Or you hear. . .
She's a graceful swimmer.
And you say. . .
She swims gracefully.
All right. Let's begin.


change an adjective to an adverb：
be a beautiful singer = sing beautifully
be a graceful swimmer = swim gracefully
speak very good English. =  speak English very well.
be a superb dancer. = dance superbly.
be a very fast talker.  =  talk very fast.
be careful workers. =  work carefully

You're a beautiful singer. 
You sing beautifully.
She's a graceful swimmer. 
She swims gracefully.
They speak very good English. 
They speak English very well.
You're a superb dancer.
You dance superbly.
He's a very fast talker. 
He talks very fast.
They're careful workers.
They work carefully.


change an adverb to an adjective：
dance elegantly = be an elegant dancer
speak intelligently = be an intelligent speaker

Now let's do the opposite.
You'll hear a sentence
that uses an adverb.
Change the sentence
so that
the adverb becomes an adjective.
For example, you hear.. .
You dance elegantly.
And you say . . .
You're an elegant dancer.
Or you hear. . .
She speaks intelligently.
And you say . . .
She's an intelligent speaker.
All right, let's begin.


change an adverb to an adjective：
dance elegantly = be an elegant dancer
speak intelligently = be an intelligent speaker
drives dangerously.  = be a dangerous driver.
swim fast.  = be fast swimmers.
sing fabulously.  = be a fabulous singer.
write well. = be a good writer.
work carefully.  = be a careful worker.

You dance elegantly.

They swim fast. 
They're fast swimmers.

Decide
if the adjective should stay  the same

Say the sentence correctly,

Some people may not recognize this.

we do speak the same language.
