Important patterns:

It is---- that---- Grammars: 1. Read the sentences below and pay attention to the use of the attributives. Then find more examples from the reading passage. 1) Robert realized that it had taught him a valuable lesson. 2) What’s the hardest experience you have ever had?

3) I remember my rotten toes that had to be removed. 4) Once we were settled, Shackleton explained his plan to save us. 5) I will never forget watching the little boat disappear through the booming waves into the stormy ocean. 2. Underline the attributes in the following passage which is a description of a visit to Elephant Island where Shackleton’s men camped for four months.

In sight of Shackleton’s landing place, our boat hit a rock. Even tourists who like to visit sites of historic places rarely land here and we could understand why. We left our boat, walking through the freezing water to the shore. What Shackleton and his men must have felt doesn’t bear thinking about. Yet apparently they fell on the beach where they had struggled to land in relief and gratitude. A soft-eyed seal and her baby stared at us as we walked up the beach to the old campsite. Standing on the beach which looked grey and forbidding we stared out at the sea that surrounded the camp on two sides. It must have seemed like a terribly unfair punishment being forced to live on one

of the coldest, most unfriendly places on earth. No trees, no vegetables---only penguins and seals to eat. It was no wonder that Frank Wild, the kindest of men, describes “crying like a baby” when he saw Shackleton return at last with the rescue party. 3.
