A Indefinite pronouns

Sandy Tse is feeling wonderful.

22 mins

Planet B has an all-star cast, a fantastic plot and remarkable special effects.
Something they could have improved is to make it longer! I would love to
see it again, but no one in my family is interested (none of them like sci-fi
films). If anybody is going to see it this week, please let me know!

Disappointing visit to the Global Studio Park
Almost (1)! everyone/everybody on the Internet said that the Global Studio Park is a
must-see. After my visit today, I must say that the theme park is definitely not worth visiting.
My family and I sensed that (2)! something was wrong when we arrived at the
theme park. There was (3)! no one/nobody at the entrance. I felt that I was in a spooky
film! When we went to the ticket office, we could hardly see (4)! anyone/anybody there
except the three ticketing officers. When we presented our e-tickets, we were shocked that
the staff knew (5)! nothing about the e-tickets! It took about ten minutes until
(6)! someone/somebody —the manager—came to our rescue.

The High-Res Theatre, supposedly the highlight of the whole

theme park, is an absolute disappointment. It calls itself an
international-standard theatre, but (7)! anyone/anybody
who has been there can tell that this is a lie.
(8)! Everything was a mess! For example,
(9)! none of the loudspeakers was working.
As a result, we watched the film with no sound. We complained
to the staff and asked them to do (10)! something about it, but they just said there
was (11)! nothing they could do.
The restaurant was equally disappointing. In fact, (12)! anything you could think
of was disappointing! Prices were sky-high, the food was bland, the soup was lukewarm …
the list could go on and on! The one thing that really made me angry was the workers’ poor
attitude. (13)! Someone/Somebody dropped a bottle of ketchup and it spilt all over the floor.
We rushed to the counter and told the workers about it, but (14)! none of
them bothered to listen to us. In the end, after half an hour or so, the same manager who dealt
with our e-tickets swept and mopped the floor himself.
I told my friends about this experience just now. They were all surprised how bad the Global
Studio Park is. (15)! None of them is interested in going there now. Come to
think of it, perhaps this was the reason why there wasn’t (16)! anyone/anybody at the park
entrance! Given the poor facilities and services, it’s no wonder that (17)! no one/nobody
was going there! I think we should be aware of (18)! everything we read on the
Internet. We had better ask (19)! someone/somebody for a second opinion before trying
(20)! something new next time.

B Defining and non-defining noun phrases

My Finest Moments:
Denise Probert
‘The film I’m proudest of is the action comedy Get Me When
I’m Gone. The director, Barnaby Cheung, was wonderful to
work with. I also love to re-watch Tick Tock, the sci-fi thriller
I was in last year. Tracy Harpman, the screenwriter, is really
good at writing stories that people find fascinating.’

• We use a defining noun phrase to say exactly which person or thing we are talking about. It can
modify a subject or an object.
Subject
The cartoon character Woody is my sister’s favourite.
Object
I’ve just bought the bestseller The Story of Darren Dave.
• We cannot remove a defining noun phrase from a sentence as it contains essential information.
Without such information, it will not be clear which person or thing we are referring to.

✘ Famous actress has won several major awards. (Which famous actress?)
Local magazine Film World has just selected three films that everyone should see this month.

• We use a non-defining noun phrase to give additional information about the person or thing
we are talking about. It can modify a subject or an object. We use a comma before and after a
non-defining noun phrase. When it is at the end of a sentence, we only use a comma before it.
Subject
Woody, the cartoon character, is my sister’s favourite.
Object
I’ve just bought The Story of Darren Dave, the bestseller.
• A non-defining noun phrase only gives additional information about the person or thing we are
talking about. We can remove it from a sentence and the sentence will still make sense.
Raya and the Last Dragon, a Disney animated film, is a must-see.
à Raya and the Last Dragon is a must-see.

Name of festival Supporting members of staff

popular event at school) • Mr Chung (School Facilities Manager)
Film programme Location
• Students’ favourites Basketball court (fenced area of main
• Films selected by the Film Society building roof)
• Films selected by teachers
• Films made by students
Dear Principal Man,
I am writing to you on behalf of the Film Society. We would like to propose that the school hold a film festival this
winter. The programme could be (1)! everything —a mixture of students’ favourites, films selected by the
Film Society, films selected by teachers as well as films made by students themselves.
Northwich School Film Festival (2)! , the most popular event at school, will be very exciting
for all teachers and students. To find out the students’ favourite films, we would first (3)! draw (draw)
up a shortlist of films we could show. Then, (4)! someone/somebody in each house group would collect the students’
votes. (5)! None of the shortlisted movies would be unsuitable for showing in our school.
We have spoken to Mrs Lam (6)! , the Head of Media Studies . She is supportive of
our proposal. She suggested that all the students should (7)! make (make) short films in class.
(8)! Anyone/Anybody who wants to join will have to submit their film for inclusion in the festival. Of course, it is
fine if they would rather not (9)! show (show) their film. Don’t worry, (10)! no one/nobody will
be forced to do so if they do not feel comfortable! Mrs Lam also said that she will (11)! have (have)
the final say on the films to be shown.
Besides showing student films, we should also give them the chance to take part in organizing and running the festival.
We can put up posters to recruit volunteers. Students need not (12)! volunteer (volunteer) if they do not
want to. I am sure many will just want to enjoy the films.
The festival would take place several evenings a week during December. As the weather is cool and
pleasant in December, one option would be to hold it outdoors. The fenced area of the main building roof
(13)! , the basketball court, could be a possible location. School Facilities Manager
(14)! Mr Chung has confirmed that the school already has the necessary
equipment.

With so many people on the roof, (15)! something important to think about would be the fire escape
routes. The school safety committee has approved the location for up to 250 people. As long as we strictly control the
number of participants, we should have (16)! nothing to worry about.

Please let us (17)! know (know) if there is (18)! anything else you would like to
know about our proposal.
