LEARN THIS! Countable and uncountable nouns
- Countable nouns are things that you can count. They have a singular and
a plural form.
Example: an egg two eggs
- Uncountable nouns are things that you can’t count, you can only weigh or
measure. They only have a singular form and take a singular verb.
Example: I like tea. This cheese is delicious.
- Some nouns can be countable or uncountable, depending on how we’re
using them
(countable) We need four large lettuces.
(uncountable) Do you want more lettuce?
(countable) Can I have a coffee, please? (=cup of coffee)
(uncountable) I don’t drink coffee.

- We often use the indefinite article when we mention something for the
first time and the definite article when we mention it again.

the olives are in the fridge.

Which one?
What can we do about junk food adverts for children?
The World Health Organization (WHO) believes that
junk food adverts are responsible for a lot of obesity in
children. It is very worried about this problem.
American children are used to food and drink adverts
on TV. The average teenager watches sixteen every day!
But now the food companies are also making
computers games with junk food adverts. These games
are very popular with children. The adverts are usually
for food that is full of fat and sugar, for example
burgers, biscuits, sweets and fizzy drinks. Most children
are very keen on these foods, but of course they are
bad for you. And after they watch the adverts, the
children eat on average 45% more junk food.
The food industry says that is not a problem. The WHO
is disappointed with this attitude, because obesity in
children is increasing every year. The WHO wants to ban
junk food advertising for children in all countries. In
Quebec, Sweden and Norway, they are already banned.
What do you think?
1. After children watch adverts for
junk food, they eat more of it.
2. Junk food companies say that
there is a problem.
3. In some countries they don't have
any TV adverts for junk food.

15.

LEARN THIS! Adjectives + preposition
We use preposition with some adjectives. Some adjectives go with
certain prepositions. There are no grammatical rules for which
preposition is used with which adjective, so it's a good idea to try
to learn them together. To help you do this, write new vocabulary
in your notebook in a sentence or phrase.
I’m good at maths but I’m bad at art.
I’m interested in history.
France is famous for cheese.
