Chapter 1

Using Adjectives to Describe

Adjectives are words that are used to describe nouns (people places or things) Some adjectives

describe in a way that is neutral ey do not tell how writers feel about the things they are describing

Other adjectives tell a lot about how writers feel about the people places or things they are describing

e adjectives tell us whether the writers feel positive or negative

Adjectives Tat Are Neutral

Adjectives TatConvey aPositive Meaning

Adjectives TatConvey aNegative Meaning

greensofthardsmoothrough

Exercise 1

1 ink about the adjectives listed above that convey positive meanings Rewrite the list ordering

the adjectives from the adjective that seems the most positive to you to the adjective that seems the

least positive to you

2 ink about the adjectives listed above that convey negative meanings Rewrite the list ordering

the adjectives from the adjective that seems the most neutral to you to the adjective that seems the

most negative to you

Exercise 2

Both of the sentences below describe Ottawa the capital city of Canada Underline the adjectives in th

sentences en basing your decision on the adjective determine whether the writer of each sentence i

neutral or expresses an opinion

1 Within Canada Ottawa is considered a large city

2 Ottawa the capital city of Canada is a lively city hosting a variety of festivals and celebrations

throughout the year



6 Chapter 1

Exercise 3

As a class brainstorm a list of 10 to 15 adjectives that could be used to describe someonersquos home en

decide whether each adjective is neutral or expresses a positive or negative opinion

Understanding Collocation In English there are words that fit with some words better than they fit with other words is is called

collocation

Certain adjectives collocate with certain nouns but do not collocate with other nouns For example

we can say that ldquoe man has blond hair rdquo but we would not say that ldquoe man has a blond car rdquo e

adjective blond is collocated with very few nouns We might say that ldquoe man has a tan car rdquo

Exercise

e adjectives in the chart below collocate with the word city Decide whether each adjective is neutral

or expresses an opinion en discuss your understanding with your classmates

Adjective Is NeutralExpresses aPositive Opinion

Expresses aNegative Opinion

Chapter 1

Distinguishing Facts from Opinions in Reading

An important reading skill is to be able to distinguish facts from opinions Paying attention to the

adjectives that a writer uses to describe can help you determine whether a statement is a statement of

fact or opinion In addition to adjectives writers and speakers sometimes use special words or phrases

for emphasis in opinion or feeling statements ese words include the following

truly there can be no doubt that

honestly without a doubt

absolutely certainly

incredibly

Watch for these words and phrases in your reading

Exercise 1

Read the following statements and identify which statements express facts and which statements

express opinions Mark an ldquoFrdquo beside each fact and an ldquoOrdquo beside each opinion

1 e Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world ____

2 e Bay of Fundy is a unique and fascinating place with its magnificent body of water and

incredible variety of wildlife ____

Vocabulary Learning Strategy Using Word Cards

Intentionally focusing your attention on words that are used frequently in English can help you increase

the size of your vocabulary Using word cards is one way to focus your attention on vocabulary items in

English

1 Take a small card (approximately 5 cm x 4 cm) and write one of the new vocabulary words from

Reading 1 on one side of the card

2 On the other side of the card do the following

a) Draw a picture that represents the meaning of the word or write the meaning of the word in

English (If you have difficulty expressing the meaning of the word in English you may write

the translation of the word in another language)

b) Write a sentence in English that uses the new word in a meaningful context If you have

difficulty composing a sentence using the word check with an English learnersrsquo dictionary for a

good sample sentence

3 Create a card for each word that was new to you in the vocabulary exercise for Reading 1

4 Until you are comfortable using the words on your word cards review the cards every day changing

the order in which you review them Saying the words out loud as you review them may help you

remember them

Chapter 1

The Queen Charlotte Islands

British Columbia The Galapagos of Canada

[1] e distant and little-known Queen Charlotte

Islands (also called Haida Gwaii which means

Islands of the People) are the homeland of the

Haida a nation of Indigenous people in British

Columbia About 6000 people live on the islands

mostly on Graham Island and about half of

these people are Haida e islands are also home

to an incredibly rich diversity of biological life

Situated 80 nautical miles [150 kilometres] off

the coast of British Columbia this group of 150

islands has developed its own species of flora1 and

fauna2

From black bears to deer mice many of theanimals are different from their ldquocousinsrdquo who live

on the mainland of British Columbia e Queen

Charlottes are home to an estimated 15 million

nesting seabirds a quarter of British Columbiarsquos

population of peregrine falcons and salmon

[2] e islandsrsquo forests and bays have been home to the Haida people for more than 10 000

years e Haida were masterful carvers of totem poles3 masks and other sacred

objects After contact with European explorers the Haida were decimated by European

diseases eir magnificent villages were deserted and the forest took over

[3] Today to protect the islandsrsquo unique history the Canadian government and the Council

of the Haida Nation has preserved the southern part of Moresby Island which is the

second largest of the Queen Charlotte Islands Now the southern part of the island

is called Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve and Haida Heritage Site e park is

beautiful and is dominated by huge cedar spruce and hemlock No logging is allowed

in the park e most interesting areas of the park however are the old Haida villages

which can be reached only by boat For most people just about the only way to visit the

park is by arranging to join a guide on a boating excursion For example Butterfly Tours

offers eight-day kayaking tours which visit abandoned villages and the islandrsquos outercoast Tourists could also consider another of Butterfly Toursrsquo boating excursions to the

Islands on an 80-foot [25-metre] motorized sailboat Tourists take kayaks out from

the sailboat to the islands during the days and return to the sailboat in the evenings for

meals and the comfort of private heated rooms for the night

Writing

Grammar Focus on Simple and Compound Sentences

Many students learning English as an additional language are overwhelmed by what can seem like anendless variety of sentences in English In fact in English there are four basic sentence types simple

compound complex and compound-complex sentences As you work through this textbook you will

learn about and practise using these four sentence types In this chapter you will practise writing and

editing the first two types simple sentences and compound sentences

The Simple Sentence

1 A simple sentence is an independent clause An independent clause contains a subject and a verb

that work together to create a complete thought

Example e woman spoke

Subject Verb

2 A simple sentence can be longer with a subject a verb and an object Some verbs require an object

so that the thought is complete

Examples e carnival has many highlights

Subject Verb Object

Now the southern part of the island is called Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve

Subject Verb Object


3 A simple sentence can also include prepositional phrases that add information

Examples No logging is allowed in the park

Subject Verb Prepositional Phrase

e Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world

Subject Verb Object Prepositional Phrase

A prepositional phrase contains a preposition and a noun but does not contain a verb A

prepositional phrase is not a complete sentence

4 A simple sentence can contain a compound subject and a compound verb Notice that the sentence

below contains two subjects that both work with the verb and the object

Example e islandsrsquo forests and bays have been home to the Haida people

Subject Subject Verb Object

for more than 10 000 years



Chapter 1

Exercise 1

Tell which of the following are prepositional phrases and which of the following are simple sentences

Write ldquoPPrdquo beside the prepositional phrases and ldquoSSrdquo beside the simple sentences

2 During the annual film festival __________

3 e builders quickly constructed the magnificent structure __________

4 On the prairie __________

5 We had a cool drink __________

6 Alongside the river __________

7 Enormous trees have survived __________

8 At the appropriate time __________

Exercise 2

Decide which of the following are complete sentences Write ldquoCrdquo beside those that are complete and ldquoI

beside those that are incomplete For those that are not sentences write what is missing

9 Off the coast of Newfoundland in Eastern Canada __________

10 Grows along the eastern shore of Labrador __________

Exercise 3

Write five simple sentences about where you live in Canada Ask a classmate to check your sentences to

make sure that they are complete



20 Chapter 1

The Compound Sentence

A compound sentence consists of two simple sentences (two independent clauses) that have been

joined by a coordinating conjunction

e following coordinating conjunctions can be used to join two simple sentences

for nor or soand but yet

Relationship of Clauses Joined by the Common Coordinating Conjunctions

and additional information

Example He visited Newfoundland and she visited Prince Edward Island

but contrasting information

Example He wanted to go to Newfoundland but she wanted to go to Prince Edward Island

or alternative ideas

Example We could go to Newfoundland or we could go to Prince Edward Island

so cause and effect

Example I wanted to see the Atlantic Ocean so I went to the East Coast

Note A comma is often used before the coordinating conjunction to separate the two independent

clauses

e following examples from the readings in Chapter 1 are compound sentences

About 6000 people live on the islands mostly on Graham Island and about half of these

Simple Sentence Conjunction Simple Sentence

people are Haida

eir magnificent villages were deserted and the forest took over




Chapter 1

Exercise 1

Combine each pair of simple sentences (independent clauses) to form one compound sentence

Note Some words should be changed or deleted to make the new sentences natural

Example Two simple sentences In some countries costs are stable In some countries costs tend to rise

quickly

Combined sentence In some countries costs are stable but in some countries costs tend to rise

quickly

1 Travelling can be expensive It is important to have a good plan

2 I wanted to visit the new exhibit at the museum My friend wanted to visit the art gallery

3 I thought the bus would cost a loonie My partner knew that it would cost a toonie4 Poutine is a popular food in Quebec Whalesrsquo tails are popular in Manitoba

5 I thought I would visit the beach Another choice was the waterfalls

6 During her trip she went hiking in the bush During her trip she rode her bike along parts of the

Cabot Trail

7 It is easy to get lost in big cities It is important to have a good map

Exercise 2

Look back to the fact and opinion statements about a Canadian wonder that you wrote earlier in this

chapter Using the same information rewrite the sentences as compound sentences Edit your sentence

to make sure that you have two independent clauses in each

these lists as an outline for your composition

Descriptive Writing Creating an Image

When describing writers express their thoughts in ways that create images for their readers e

organization of the ideas is important to create clear visual images the use of vocabulary is important

to create images that appeal to the senses rough the words that are chosen writers can make a place

seem attractive to the reader Writers can also create a mood that the reader will associate with a place

In the two readings in this chapter the writer tries to build clear images of the Carnaval de Queacutebec and

the Queen Charlotte Islands She also tries to build images that will appeal to the readerrsquos senses One

of the ways that the writer accomplishes this is by choosing adjectives that not only convey a positive

feeling but also create a mood

In the reading ldquoCarnaval de Queacutebecrdquo the writer uses adjectives with several nouns

high spirit

lively crowd welcoming environment

What feelings or moods do these adjectives create

What kind of person might be attracted to this place



24 Chapter 1

In the reading ldquoe Queen Charlotte Islandsrdquo the writer also uses adjectives but she uses them to

create a very different mood

distant and little-known Queen Charlotte Islands

incredibly rich diversity of biological life

masterful carvers

magnificent villages unique history

huge cedar spruce and hemlock

abandoned villages



What feeling or mood do you want to create about the place that you are describing Find four

descriptive adjectives that you could use to help you create this mood for your readers

Note When you write your description it is your choice whether or not to include adjectives that

convey a feeling or a mood Some writers choose to use adjectives to create a mood other writers

choose not to use adjectives to create a mood ese writers create a mood through selecting

information about the place or event that will appeal to their readers
