13. Would you like to work for Elon Musk?
Grammar focus on Conditionals Type 1 (Real present)
TYPE 1 REAL PRESENT
Условные предложения состоят из 2 частей – придаточной (условия) IF-CLAUSE и главной (результата) MAIN CLAUSE.
Схема довольно простая, самое главное – не забывать, что в придаточном предложении мы не используем глаголы в будущем времени
IF + PRESENT SIMPLE/CONTINUOUS, PRESENT PERFECT/CONTINUOUS,
FUTURE, IMPERATIVE, CAN/MAY/MUST/COULD/MIGHT/SHOULD + BARE INFINITIVE
If you revise for the exam, you will pass
• Вместо if можно использовать такие слова, как: UNLESS, PROVIDED/PROVIDING THAT, SO/AS LONG AS, ON CONDITION (THAT), etc
As long as you are home by 11, you can go to the party
• Когда предложение начинается с условной части, мы ставим запятую между ними
If I get home early tonight, I will make dinner.
Но не ставим, если предложение начинается с главной части
I will make dinner if I get home tonight.
• Мы можем звучать более разговорно, если используем HAPPEN TO вместо PRESENT SIMPLE
If you happen to see Bob, tell him to get hold of me.
• И наоборот, более формально, если будем использовать SHOULD
If you should see Bob, tell him to call me.
• И даже еще более официально, если мы используем инверсию, которую вы часто видите в деловой переписке
Should you see Bob, don’t hesitate to tell him about me.

Unit 2:
Feedback and Discipline
“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”
– Jim Rohn
Have you ever thought about the importance of feedback and discipline in our career?
Feedback is essential for growth and improvement. It provides us with valuable insights into our performance, behaviour, and actions. Whether it’s constructive criticism or positive feedback, we should use it as a tool for self-improvement helping us understand what we’re doing well and where we need to make changes.
Discipline is another key factor in achieving success. It requires self-control and determination. Discipline helps us stay focused on our goals.It’s about making the right choices and taking the necessary actions to move forward. Start by setting clear goals and creating a plan to achieve them. Stay organised, prioritise tasks, and hold yourself accountable for your actions. Remember that discipline is not about punishment but about creating a structure that supports your growth and development.
