exercise 12 Choose the best alternative. In your own words, explain to your partner why you chose what you did or translate the phrase into Finnish. Refer back to the rules if need be.
1. Ooops! I forgot to inform you that we have an exam today. Unohdin kertoa
2. What do you mean you regret trusting me to take care of things? Kadut luottaneesi
3. I remembered to tell you all the important gossip. Muistin kertoa
4. So you might stop complaining! Lakata valittamasta
5. I also remember bringing you food when you were sick. Muistan tuoneeni
6. In addition, I stopped to buy you flowers at the flower kiosk. That was pretty romantic, wasn’t it? Pysähdyin ostamaan
7. What are you doing? Stop throwing those flowers at me! Lakkaa heittämästä
exercise 13 Fill in according to what you hear. Translate the sentences into Finnish. Track 32
1. Having read a lot about the environment, I learned that animals and plants living at the edges of a habitat are most vulnerable.,
2. Having been found in Australia, a skeleton dating from 1280 CE is displayed in a museum in Melbourne.
3. Having taken place without any warnings in Chernobyl in 1986, a nuclear disaster prompted many new regulations and guidance on power plants.
4. Having been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1945, A.I. Virtanen helped improve a method of preserving milk.
1. Luettuani paljon ympäristöstä opin, että asuinalueensa reunoilla elävät eläimet ja kasvit ovat kaikkein haavoittuvaisimpia.
2. Australiasta löytymisen jälkeen luuranko vuodelta 1280 on esillä museossa Melbournessa.
3. Ydinonnettomuuden tapahduttua ilman mitään varoituksia Chernobylissä 1986 katastrofia seurasi monia uusia sääntöjä ja ohjeita ydinvoimaloille.
4. Saatuaan Nobelin kemianpalkinnon 1945 A. I. Virtanen auttoi parantamaan maidon säilytystapaa.
exercise 14 Choose the best alternative.
1. My friends and I used to be active members of our school’s science club.
2. I used to think I would become a chemist.
3. People who are used to waking up early in the morning find it easy to start school at 8 am.
4. When we were little, every one of us used to dream about becoming the next great inventor.
5. I’m still not used to reading books in English.
6. I think I’d better get used to studying in other languages.
exercise 16 More advanced. Choose the best alternative. Trying to predict the future can be difficult if not impossible. What appears to be the next success story now might be thrown in the bin tomorrow. However, there are inventions that have the potential to alter the world we now know. The DEKA prosthetic arm will allow amputees to raise their hands above their heads. This lets them perform much more complicated tasks than ever before. The Smart Pipe is designed to reduce the amount of wasted clean water by monitoring water flow and leaks in public water systems. The leaking is estimated to have cost millions of dollars annually in the US. In the future you might end up seeing delivery people and construction workers wear Titan Arms. In addition to helping them lift heavy things, Titan Arms could be used by people with back injuries caused by lifting heavy things or even by people recovering from a stroke. Slingshot is a device made to clean water from almost any source. One device would be sufficient to serve the needs of 300 people. After a decade of being developed, the Slingshot technology is now to be taken to parts of Africa and Latin America.
