1) Read the following passage about “TITANIC” and follow the instructions below Titanic On April 10th 1912, the Titanic set sail on its first trip, from England to New York At the time it was made, it was said to be the safest ship ever built However, at 11:40 p.m on April 12th 1912, it hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic, and three hours later, at 2:20 a.m., it sank There were 2200 people on board, but only 705 survived; 1503 people died, most from freezing to death in the cold water Why did the accident happen and why did so many people die? There is no one single reason; it was the result of many factors • The ship received warnings about icebergs ahead, but didn't slow down; instead it continued to sail at full speed • The lookout sailor didn't have any binoculars with him, so he wasn't able to see the iceberg until it was too close to miss • Although the ship carried 2200 passengers, there were only 20 lifeboats, enough for a maximum of 1200 people • Because the Titanic was thought to be unsinkable many passengers didn't take the danger seriously and didn't hurry to the lifeboats Many of the lifeboats left only half full • The survivors were picked up by another ship, the Carpathia, which received the emergency radio message Another ship in the area, however, which was actually closer to the Titanic than the Carpathia, didn't hear the emergency call because the radio operator had gone to bed How could the disaster have been prevented? Make five sentences like these: If the water had been warmer, more people would have survived 1) _ 2) _ 3) _ 4) _ 5) 2) Put the verbs in brackets into the correct tense: If I (be) you, I would phone your mother tonight Unless we (leave) now, we’ll be late If I hadn’t woken up early, I (be) late for work If you (have) a toothache, go to the dentist _ you _ (give) me a call if you have time tomorrow?
