8 TEEN SCIENCE. W 0 ho do you look like? Are you good-looking like your mum, well-built like your dad, fair-haired like your brother or sister, or really, really tall like your great-great-grandparent? Do people say you re just like your father, or just like your mother, or that you take after your grandparent in every way? Or do people ask where you come from because you look so different from the rest of your family? Twin sisters Hayleigh and Lauren with their parents and baby twin sisters Y 0 our genes are responsible for your appearance and your health. Half your genes are from your mother, the other half from your father. You are not identical to your mother or your father, but you probably look a bit like both of them. Or you may resemble one of your ancestors, for example a great-great-grandparent. But even if you are like other members of your family, you are unique. Your genes are different from everyone else s genes. The only people who have exactly the same genes are identical twins. Some of the features you inherit from your parents are hair, eye colour, skin colour and facial features like the size and shape of your nose. 0 0 You probably have the same hair colour as one of your parents, but this is not always true. Two dark-haired parents can have a blond or red-headed child. This happens when there was a blond or red-headed ancestor. It is common for red-headed children to have freckles, even if the parents don t have them. The strongest, or dominant gene in eye colour is brown. If both parents have brown eyes, their children probably have brown eyes too. It s also common for two browneyed parents to have a blue-eyed child, but unusual for two blue-eyed parents to have a brown-eyed child. As well as eye colour you can inherit poor eyesight from your parents. So if you re short-sighted you re probably not the only person in your family who wears glasses. 0 Tall parents usually have tall children and short parents usually have short children. But this isn t always true in fact, children are getting taller thanks to improved diets and healthier lifestyles. 0% of men with bald fathers will lose their hair. But the gene for baldness can come from the mother s family too boys should look at their mother s father. They may take after him. There are many different skin colours: from black, dark brown, brown, light brown to white. Most families share the same skin colour, but black parents can give birth to a lighter-skinned child if they have pale-skinned ancestors. 60 Usually, a black and a white parent have dark-skinned children because black is a dominant gene. But twin sisters Hayleigh and Lauren are exceptions. One twin is black, and the other is white. Hayleigh looks exactly like her black father and Lauren is the image of her white mother. This was only possible because their father had a white relative in his past. Finally, if you are left-handed, or if you have dimples in your cheeks or chin, you can thank your genes. 9 M0_EXFC_SB_0ESP_9796_U0.indd 9 0//9 6:8 7

9 Grammar Reading Dynamic and state verbs GRAMMAR FOCUS Most verbs have dynamic meanings. They describe actions: something happens. You can use them with simple or continuous forms. I work as a fashion editor for HIP magazine. Today I m working at the COACHELLA music festival. Some verbs have stative meanings. They describe states: nothing happens. You cannot use them with continuous forms. I believe the temperature is º. (NOT I m believing) A few verbs (e.g. think, have, look) have both dynamic and stative meanings. The meanings are different: I think I must have the best job in the world. (think = believe state) I m thinking about going to see them. (think = consider dynamic). Read and listen to the text. Then answer the questions. Who does Jo Mack work for? Where is she now? What is she doing there?. Listen to the interview with Anna. Do the underlined phrases have state or dynamic verbs? Jo: Hi! I m reporting on festival fashion for HIP magazine. I like your hat. Anna: Thanks. I don t usually wear hats. But it s really Anna hot, so I m wearing this baseball cap. It belongs to my boyfriend. He doesn t need it because he isn t here today. He s revising for his exams! Jo: Oh, that s a shame. Anna: No, it s OK. My boyfriend hates festivals. He prefers listening to music at home.

15 Unit Exercise (example answers) A man is shopping for clothes. A woman is waiting for him. The man is wearing a comfortable red cotton sweatshirt/top and classic grey jeans. The woman is wearing a simple red and white patterned summer top and fashionable blue skinny jeans. The woman is feeling bored. She isn t excited about buying new clothes. Exercise shows hard think probably looks 6 next 7 sure 8 imagine 9 make 0 seems though background as don t Personally Exercise (example answer) The photo shows a group of three friends out shopping. They are in the changing rooms. In the background there are two girls behind the curtains, but they are looking out and are talking to each other. It looks as if they are showing each other what they are going to try on next. They are smiling and I think they are having a good time. A boy is sitting on the floor between the two cubicles and he looks bored and miserable. He is wearing jeans and trainers and he has a bag between his legs and something in his hands, but I can t make out what it is. I think that the three friends decided to go shopping. I imagine that the boy probably bought trainers or hiking boots and is ready to go home. The girls are enjoying themselves and I m not sure, but I don t think they realise how bored the boy is. He is probably the boyfriend of one of the girls and the other girl is her best friend. Personally, I would never go shopping with my girlfriend and her friend. In my opinion, that s crazy and boring. EXTRA ACTIVITIES Students bring their own photos to class. They take turns to describe them.
