Neither, neither … nor and not … either

Neither as a determiner

Neither allows us to make a negative statement about two people or things at the same time. Neither goes before singular countable nouns. We use it to say

 ‘not either’ in relation to two things. 

Neither can be pronounced /ˈnaɪðə(r)/ or /ˈni:ðə(r)/.

Neither parent came to meet the teacher. (The mother didn’t come and the father didn’t come.)

Neither dress fitted her. (There were two dresses and not one of them fitted her.)

We use neither of before pronouns and plural countable nouns which have a determiner (my, his, the) before them:

Neither of us went to the concert.

Neither of the birthday cards was suitable.

Spoken English:

In formal styles, we use neither of with a singular verb when it is the subject. However, in informal speaking, people often use plural verbs:

Neither of my best friends was around.

Neither of them were interested in going to university.

In speaking, we can use neither on its own in replies when we are referring to two things that have already been mentioned:

A:

Mike, which would you prefer, tea or coffee?

B:

Neither thanks. I’ve just had a coffee.

Neither … nor

We can use neither as a conjunction with nor. It connects two or more negative alternatives. This can sound formal in speaking:

Neither Brian nor his wife mentioned anything about moving house. (Brian didn’t mention that they were moving house and his wife didn’t mention that they were moving house.)

Neither Italy nor France got to the quarter finals last year.

The less formal alternative is to use and … not … either:

Italy didn’t get to the quarter finals last year and France didn’t either.

Not … either

                          

Not with neither and nor

When a clause with neither or nor is used after a negative clause, we invert the subject and the verb after neither and nor:

He hadn’t done any homework, neither had he brought any of his books to class.

We didn’t get to see the castle, nor did we see the cathedral.

Conjunctions

Neither do I, Nor can she

We use neither and nor + auxiliary/modal verb + subject to mean ‘also not’:

A: I hate snakes. I can’t even look at a picture of a snake.

B: Neither can I.

Not: I can’t also.

A: Jacqueline doesn’t drive.

B: Nor does Gina.

Not: Gina doesn’t also.

So am I, so do I, Neither do I

Not … either

We can use not … either to mean ‘also not’, but we do not change the word order of the auxiliary or modal verb and subject:

A: I haven’t ever tasted caviar.

B: I haven’t either. (or Neither have I./Nor have I.)

A:I didn’t see Lesley at the concert.

B:I didn’t either. (or Neither did I./Nor did I.)

In informal speaking, we often say me neither:

A:I can’t smell anything.

B:Me neither. (or I can’t either.)

Neither: typical errors

We use neither, not none, when we are talking about two people or things:

Books and television are different. Neither of them should replace the other.

Not: None of them …

We don’t normally use both (of) + not to make a negative statement about two people or things:

Neither of these shirts is/are dry yet.

Not: Both of these shirts aren’t dry yet.

Take care to spell neither correctly: not ‘niether’ or ‘neighter’.

Fill in either, neither or both.

Прослушайте интервью. В заданиях А8–А14 укажите номер выбранного вами варианта ответа.   The Portobello Festival differs from festivals in Cannes and Venice as it

1)  does not attract celebrities.     2)  is not so fashionable and well-known.     3)  is running its second season only.

The festival was initially founded to

1)  let independent filmmakers demonstrate their work.     2)  help different filmmakers earn money.     3)  advertise video equipment but not to show films.

According to the festival’s director they made the festival free because

1)  there are no expensive prizes and launch parties.     2)  they get enough money for placing advertisements.     3)  sponsors and funds provide good financial support.

One characteristic feature of the Portobello Festival is that

1)  700 films are shown each festival season.     2)  student films are shown together with professionals’ works.     3)  only short films are chosen for the festival annually.

The festival’s director believes that their films are

1)  worthy to be shown on TV.     2)  the world’s top hits.     3)  of better quality than TV films.

The famous filmmaker whose first film was shown at the festival is

1)  John Malkovich.     2)  Guy Ritchie.     3)  Jonathan Barnett.

Speaking about future plans, the festival’s director

1)  sounds optimistic about the festival extension.     2)  believes the festival should turn to other arts mostly.     3)  thinks the festival will be united with Glastonbury or Edinburgh events.

A STORYTELLER

In my early 20s, after a year and a half in England, and four months in France, I returned to the United States and got a job at a camp in northern Virginia. My   1 ______ that summer was Dan from Mississippi, and I am from Rhode Island. We worked together with a group of boys from 12 to 14 years old.

Saturday jobs: memories of weekend working Research has shown a sharp fall in the number of teenagers who do Saturday jobs. It seems such a shame – my Saturday job as a kitchen porter was something of a rite of passage. I'll never forget long hours A__________, scouring grease off huge saucepans and griddles. Working atmosphere there helped me grow a thicker skin, develop quicker banter and, most importantly, taught me the value of hard work. It also resulted in a steady supply of cash, B__________. I'm not the only one who has strong memories of weekend work. DJ Trevor Nelson said everyone should be able to have a Saturday job: "It taught me a lot, C__________." The link between the type of Saturday job a celebrity performed and their later career is sometimes obvious. Dragon's Den star and businessman Peter Jones, for example, showed early promise by starting his own business. "I passed my Lawn Tennis Association coaching exam, D__________," he explains. "At the start I was coaching other kids, E__________, for which I could charge £25–30 an hour. While my friends on milk rounds were getting £35 a week, I was doing five hours on a Saturday and earning four times as much." Skier Chemmy Alcott got a job working for the Good Ski Guide, on the advertising side. "It became clear to me what my personal value to companies could be. It led directly to me finding my head sponsor … and it offered me an eight-year contract. That gave me the financial backing F__________." As part of its response to the Saturday job statistics, the UK Commission for Employment and Skills said a lack of early work opportunities makes it harder for young people to acquire experience for their CVs.

JOB is a group of homogeneous tasks related by similarity of functions.
When performed by an employee in an exchange for pay, a job consists of duties, responsibilities, and tasks (performance elements) that are

(1) defined and specific, and

(2) can be accomplished, quantified, measured, and rated.

From a wider perspective, a job is synonymous with a role and includes the physical and social aspects of a work environment.

Often, individuals identify themselves with their job or role (foreman, supervisor, engineer, etc.) and derive motivation from its uniqueness or usefulness.

A job, or occupation, is a person's role in society. More specifically, a job is an activity, often regular and often performed in exchange for payment ("for a living"). Many people have multiple jobs (e.g., parent, homemaker, and employee). A person can begin a job by becoming an employee, volunteering, starting a business, or becoming a parent. The duration of a job may range from temporary (e.g., hourly odd jobs) to a lifetime (e.g., judges).

An activity that requires a person's mental or physical effort is work (as in "a day's work"). If a person is trained for a certain type of job, they may have a profession. Typically, a job would be a subset of someone's career. The two may differ in that one usually retires from their career, versus resignation or termination from a job.

Types of jobs

Jobs can be categorized, by the hours per week, into full time or part time. They can be categorized as temporary, odd jobs, seasonal, self-employment, consulting, or contract employment.

Jobs can be categorized as paid or unpaid. Examples of unpaid jobs include volunteer, homemaker, mentor, student, and sometimes intern.

Jobs can be categorized by the level of experience required: entry level, intern, and co-op.

Some jobs require specific training or an academic degree.

Those without paid full-time employment may be categorized as unemployed or underemployed if they are seeking a full-time paid job.

Moonlighting is the practice of holding an additional job or jobs, often at night, in addition to one's main job, usually to earn extra income. A person who moonlights may have little time left for sleep or leisure activities.

КСТАТИ:

Разница между словами till и until

Предлоги (иногда союзы) till и until являются взаимозаменяемыми в 99% случаев. Они имеют аналогичный перевод и практически идентичное значение за исключением легкой разницы в семантическом оттенке:

 Не имеет значения, как вы скажете: I'll stay till the baby is awake или I’ll stay until the baby is awake – оба варианта будут грамматически корректными.

Единственный случай, где с точки зрения хорошей грамматики не рекомендуется ставить till – это в начале предложения. Здесь уместнее будет использовать until.

Until you are completely ready, don’t even pay attention to what Greg says.

Иногда союз till имеет легкое семантическое значение того, что произойдет ожидаемое, определенное событие, тогда как until может нести в себе, опять же повторюсь, легкое значение внезапности, неожиданности наступившего действия:

He ran and ran till he felt bad. – Он все бежал и бежал, пока не почувствовал себя плохо (Бежал долго – вот и почувствовал себя плохо – вполне ожидаемо).

He ran until he felt bad. – Он бежал, пока вдруг не почувствовал себя плохо. (Это было неожиданно)

Союз until считается более книжным, официальным. Он чаще используется в письменной и строго официальной речи. Till имеет более бытовой, разговорный оттенок и в современном английском употребляется немного реже.

Подготовка к школьному этапу олимпиады по английскому языку

READING

Time: 20 minutes

Task 1. Read the text below. For each question, mark the correct letter A, B,

C or D on your answer sheet.

Indian Films

Actor Amitabh Bachchan talks about his experiences.

I have spent over 30 years in the Indian film industry and have worked with

almost three generations of directors and actors. There was a time when life in the

movies was very different. It was slower and everything seemed simpler. Now,

there are so many things to be dealt with: the light needs to be right, the equipment

needs to be returned, and actors have to be somewhere else. There also used to be a

sense of magic about the movie industry and the stars were special. Now they are

just one of a crowd.

However, in my experience, the new generation of film-makers take their

work seriously and they are all very confident. Sometimes, when a young director

is talking to me about a scene, I can see technical difficulties. For example, in the

film “Aks” we needed wild dogs for a particular scene and I asked Rakesh Mehra

how we would do that. He said it was not a problem. He found an address on the

Internet and we shot the scene in Romania. More often, Rakesh is anxious about

getting the actors’ dates right or sorting out the financial side.

Most of today’s young directors have trained in the United States. They have

learnt how to plan their productions in great detail and they are extremely well

prepared. Before filming starts, they have already made decisions about the

16 costumes, make-up, camera angles and so on. For an actor it means there’s

someone taking care of everything. It makes the filming go smoothly. I have little

doubt that the future of our film industry is in very good hands.

16. What is Amitabh Bachchan trying to do in this text?

A suggest how Indian actors could improve their technique

B compare Indian films with those made in the USA

C encourage people to watch more Indian films

D describe changes in the Indian film industry

17. What does Amitabh Bachchan say about the Indian film industry today?

A Every stage of filming has to be supported financially.

B The film stars are famous around the world.

C The people involved in filming have a lot to do.

D It is difficult for young actors to start their careers.

18. What happened when Amitabh Bachchan and Rakesh Mehra worked

together on “Aks”?

A They disliked working with one another.

B They argued about the best actor to use.

C They disagreed about acceptable levels of cost.

D They had to overcome some difficulties.

19. What is Amitabh Bachchan’s opinion of young directors?

A They have a professional attitude towards their work.

B They are careful not to annoy any of the actors.

C They like to discuss their decisions with others.

D They make sure that actors are well trained.

20. How would Amitabh Bachchan describe the Indian film industry?

A The films we made when I was younger were so much better – more money

is available today but the acting is worse.

B Indian film-makers know what they are doing – the industry is growing in

strength and I think it will continue to do so.

C Our new generation of film-makers depends too much on technology – they

don’t realise what makes a really good film.

D There are some great young actors – they have to film scenes unprepared

and this makes them very special.

Task 2. Look at the ten sentences below about the “Reach Out!” camps.

 Read the text to decide if each sentence is true or false, according to the text. If it is true, mark A on your answer sheet. If it is false, mark B on your answer sheet.

21. Each “Reach Out!” summer camp lasts for over a week.

22. “Reach Out!” camps are held in many countries around the world.

23. Camp members are encouraged to explore environmental and social topics.

24. The timetable is given to the camp members in advance of their stay.

25. Camp members do some activities in the fresh air immediately after

breakfast.

26. Lessons in how to talk in front of a large audience are offered at the camp.

27. After lunch there is a choice of things for camp members to do.

28. On Action Day, camp members get the chance to visit local organisations on

their own.

29. At this year’s camps, Helen Yates will play songs by musicians from

different countries.

30. Helen Yates has lots of interesting information about famous world leaders

to share.

“Reach Out!” Camps

“Reach Out!” is an organisation that runs week long summer camps, designed to give young people the skills to be the leaders of the future. The camps help to create confident young people who wish to improve not only themselves, but the  world around them. Varying in age from 12 to 17, young people come to attend the camps in Canada and the USA from across the world. They spend their time learning leadership skills, considering and discussing important issues such as

pollution and health, and helping in the local community. They also meet many

other young people who have the same interests and beliefs and they frequently

make friendships that will last a lifetime.

There is no average day at the camp and changes are made to the timetable, which is handed out daily, to allow room for exciting events as they come up. However, camp members generally get up at 7.30 a.m. and, once they’ve eaten breakfast, start their day with some outdoor games to get them warmed up for the busy day ahead. There are classroom workshops in the morning on skills such as public speaking, then there’s an hour for lunch at noon. From 1-2 p.m., camp members have the opportunity to select from various activities. In recent years these have included dancing, song writing, yoga and basketball.

During the members’ time at camp, there is a day known as Action Day. This is when small groups go out with an adult group leader to work with organizations in the neighbourhood. “Reach Out!” arranges the day several weeks before the actual event and matches the interests and skills of the camp members with organizations needing their help. This can involve organizations dealing with healthcare, housing, journalism or the environment, to name just a few.

Evenings are spent watching documentary films or listening to guest speakers. One of the speakers this year will be Helen Yates, who has worked on social projects around the world and who writes and sings her own songs about the social issues she is most concerned about. Helen has shared the stage with many of the world’s political and religious leaders and has many interesting stories to tell young audiences about them. Helen’s goal is to encourage the young people she meets to go out and make the world a better place.

Task 1

For items 16–25, read the passage below and choose option A, B, C or D which bestfits according to the text.

The Forbidden City

The Forbidden City is the former imperial palace in the center of Beijing, China.Construction began in 1406, and the emperor’s court officially moved in by 1420. TheForbidden City got its name because most people were barred from entering the 72-hectaresite, surrounded by walls. Even government officials and the imperial family werepermitted only limited access. Only the emperor could enter any section at will.

The architecture of the Forbidden City conforms rigidly to traditional Chineseprinciples. All buildings within the walls follow a north-south line, and the mostimportant ones face south to honor the sun. The designers arranged the other buildings,and the ceremonial spaces between them, to impress all visitors with the great powerof the Emperor, while reinforcing the insignificance of the individual. Thisarchitectural concept was carried out to the smallest detail. For example, theimportance of a building was determined not only by its height or width but also by thestyle of its roof and the quantity of statuettes placed on the roof’s ridges.

In recognition of the importance of its unparalleled architecture, UNESCOadded the palace to its World Heritage List in 1987. Today, visitors from all over theworld do not wait for an imperial invitation to walk about this palace, now a museumof imperial art.

One of the most impressive landmarks of the Forbidden City is the Meridian Gate, the formal entrance to the southern side of the Forbidden City. The gate, with its auxiliary wings on either side of the entryway, is 38 meters high at its roof ridge. When you stand in front of this majestic structure, you understand how awed people felt when they stood there listening to imperial proclamations.

As you walk through the gate, you come into a large courtyard, 140 meters long and 210 meters wide. Running through the courtyard is the Golden River, which is crossed by five parallel white marble bridges. These bridges lead to the Gate of Supreme Harmony, which, in turn, leads to the heart of the Forbidden City.
