$MODULE Book 10 · Lesson 5: Review — Small Talk, Reading, and Grammar {st-page_163_001.jpg|Four-panel composite showing scenes of using a vending machine, military officers shaking hands, looking at a dictionary in a library, and pointing at a map}
DESCRIPTION: Review lesson: small talk, reading skills (summaries, titles, outlining), gerunds and infinitives, "be able to", "it" for time and distance, time clauses, sequencing instructions, and present tense for scheduled future time.
INTRO: This lesson is pure review — nothing new, just making sure everything stuck. You'll practice small talk, reread short passages, and sharpen the grammar you've been learning. First, Tom runs into Harry and asks about the family — listen and repeat each line.
INTRO: Read this short paragraph about getting ready for a road trip. Afterwards you'll choose the best summary of it.
CARD: There are things that you should do before you go on vacation. Check your car. Fill it with gas. Take some common tools with you. Always have a jack, a wrench, and a spare tire. Don't forget your driver's license and extra change. Drive carefully and fasten your seatbelt. Do these things, and you'll have a good, safe trip.

$GRAMMAR Reading: A Store and a State
ID: l5-s5-r
READING
INTRO: Two more short readings — a store that sells everything, and the smallest state in the country. You'll pick a title for each one next.
CARD: **Paragraph 1.** One store at the Big Tree Mall sells everything. It's called Dilley's Department Store. You can buy clothes, furniture, books, and many other things there. It's my favorite store because you don't have to go from one store to another for things. You can get it all from Dilley's. Dilley's is very popular with lots of people.
CARD: **Paragraph 2.** Rhode Island is the smallest state in the country, but over 900,000 people live there. Most of these people live and work in the cities. Rhode Island is on the Atlantic coast and has good weather. The temperature in July is usually about 69 degrees. Because temperatures in some of the other states on the Atlantic coast are very high in the summer, many people go to Rhode Island for their summer vacations. It's a popular place in July.
CARD: Jim likes to travel. On his vacation last year he was able to go to London. While he was there he was able to fly to Ireland. He rented a car and was able to drive across Ireland from the east to the west. He wasn't able to get to Paris, but maybe this year he'll be able to go to Europe again.
RUBRIC: Treat the model answer as the factual key; accept any phrasing of the same fact in a full sentence — using "be able to" is the point, so an answer without it fails.
CARD: Janet went to the shopping center. She didn't have much time, but she was able to do a lot. At the clothing store she was able to find a blouse for her new skirt. Then she went to the variety store. There she was able to get pens and pencils for her daughter. In the department store, she was able to buy some towels and finish her shopping. Her car was in the parking lot near the department store. She was able to leave the mall quickly and get back home before her children arrived from school.
RUBRIC: Treat the model answer as the factual key; accept any phrasing of the same fact in a full sentence — using "be able to" is the point, so an answer without it fails.
# SKIPPED (book): Listening Skill "SAY THE OPPOSITE." — spoken antonym drill without printed words.

INPUT: speak
CHECK: llm
RUBRIC: Accept any correct question formed from the cue words with a gerund after the main verb, plus an answer using the parenthesized information; an infinitive instead of the gerund fails.
