I overslept this morning i don t know how it happened
We’ve Overslept OR We Overslept?
Hi again, this one is a bit tricky.
Context: A man wakes up and finds out that the alarm clock is not working. He wakes his wife, saying:
a) We’ve overslept. b) We overslept.
I’d go for a) but what if the action (ie oversleeping) doesn’t have any negative effects or the effects can still be undone? Isn’t b) more appropriate in this context?

Context: A man wakes up and finds out that the alarm clock is not working. He wakes his wife, saying:

I’d go for a) but what if the action (ie oversleeping) doesn’t have any negative effects or the effects can still be undone? Isn’t b) more appropriate in this context?
Pieanne I’d go for the present perfect. «Look!/Wake up! We’ve overslept»: the focus is on the present result.
Yes that’s what I’ve pointed out but what if there was no real need at all to get up at the time the alarm clock had been set to?
If you say «we overslept» in such a context, your wife might ask «when did we oversleep?»
A sentence in the simple past makes sense only when your listener knows the time in which the said event happened. So «I overslept this morning» makes sense even if you utter it suddenly, but «I overslept» without any time adverbial makes no sense when it is suddenly uttered.
On the other hand, «I’ve overslept» makes sense even if you utter it suddenly without addition of time adverbials. It is because, if you use the present perfect tense, your listener knows that what you are talking about is an event happened in the immediate past.
Paco2004 If you say «we overslept» in such a context, your wife might ask «when did we oversleep?»
Since we are both in bed and I’ve just woken her she’d say «when did we oversleep?» only if she was joking.
I’m afraid we might need advice from a native speaker here.
I overslept this morning i don t know how it happened
Monday, 14 th March
I overslept this morning. I don’t know how it happened. I’m sure I A21 set the alarm last night as usual. At least, I think I did. I remember having a cup of tea, turning the TV off and putting the cat outside. Then the phone rang. It was my granddaughter, Zoe. She had been A22 appearing in her school play and she wanted to tell me all about it. I must say it sounded wonderful! I A23 regret not going, but if I went to see everything my grandchildren did, I would never have any time for myself.
Anyway, whatever the reason was, my alarm didn’t A24 go off this morning, so I was late meeting Rita for coffee. She said she didn’t mind, though, because she had a good book to read. We chatted for half an hour and then went to have a wander round the shops. Everything seems so expensive these days, or it does to those of us who have « A25 retired from work. It’s not easy living on a pension. In the end, I just bought some wool for a jumper I’m making and Rita bought a new hat.
We had A26 missed our usual bus home, so we decided to have lunch in one of those fast food places. I’d never been in one before, but Rita said she had, with her grandson. I let her order the food and we sat down to eat. Well, I’ve never had anything so disgusting in my whole life! The chips were so salty I couldn’t eat them. The other thing was like a bread roll with a beefburger and cheese on it. It turned A27 out to be a ‘special cheeseburger’, although it didn’t seem very special to me. It tasted like cardboard. I don’t think I’ll be going in a place like that again.
Tomorrow is my eldest son Darren’s birthday and we’re planning to have a nice picnic in the
countryside. I can’t believe that he’s about to A28 turn fifty. How old does that make me? Don’t ask!

1. The girl was late. She …
1) Got into an accident with three cars and a bus.
2) Got into a traffic jam.
3) was copying papers for three hours.
A: What took you so long? The manager’s furious.
B: There was an accident on the motorway, and the traffic was unbelievably slow. It took me three hours to get here.
B: Right. Hope she will forgive me.
A: Anyway, it’s good that you’ve arrived safe and sound.
A: Late again, Jim.
B: Sorry, Ms West. I overslept. My alarm didn’t go off this morning. I promise, it will never, ever happen again.
A: Unfortunately, it’s not a new story, Jim. It happens almost every week, even twice a week sometimes.
B: I know but I did set the alarm last night, honestly. I don’t know what happened.
A: Perhaps you should buy a new one. Now…, take your seat and open your book at page twelve. We’re discussing the article on traffic congestion.
A: Oh, my goodness, the traffic is so slow. It’s driving me mad! We’ve been in this traffic jam for an hour already.
B: Calm down. I think there’s an accident ahead. We can’t do anything about it.
B: Sure. But turn down the music. It’s too loud.
A: Why don’t we take a different route? I’ll look at the map and see what we can do.
A: I can’t believe how bad the weather is today!
B: Yes, according to the weather report, we will be flying through a pretty nasty storm.
A: Won’t they cancel the flight? I don’t really like flying in this kind of weather.
B: Cancel? No. Boarding has already been announced. Don’t worry. Usually the pilot gets enough altitude to fly above it. I am sure everything will be fine.

Вы готовите тематическую радиопередачу с высказываниями пяти разных людей, обозначенных буквами А, В, С, D, Е. Подберите к каждому высказыванию соответствующую его содержанию рубрику из списка 1–6. Используйте каждую рубрику из списка только один раз. В списке есть одна лишняя рубрика. Вы услышите запись дважды.
1. Advantages of public transport.
2. People should use personal cars less.
3. Why a personal car is a necessity.
4. One personal car per family.
5. Doing very well without a personal car.
6. Cars have made change lifestyle.
| Говорящий | A | B | C | D | E |
| Утверждение |
Speaker A. Environmental problems are important today. People in big cities suffer from pollution but it’s partially their own fault as their cars produce huge amounts of carbon dioxide which is the main cause of pollution. The number of personal cars is rising and when they get stuck in traffic jams, the amount of gases increases several times. People will experience problems until they learn to care more about the environment than their own comfort.
Speaker В. I’ve lived all my life in the city centre and I’ve always enjoyed the city lifestyle. However, now I’m considering moving to the countryside. It’s a difficult decision but my son has started to fall ill too often. The doctors say that the polluted environment is the main reason. We live in one of the busiest streets. The traffic is very heavy there and there are often huge traffic jams. The doctors strongly recommend that we move to a healthier place.
Speaker С. I live in the suburbs. We moved there several years ago as the houses are much cheaper there than in the city centre. However I don’t want to change my job so I have to commute to the centre five days a week. A personal car is a must for me. Fortunately, my children’s school is on the way to the office and I drive them there every morning. When the classes are over, my wife drives them home — she can’t do without her car either.
Speaker D. I live in the city centre, in a historical house. I like the place very much and would never move anywhere else. Neither me nor my neighbours drive personal cars — there’s no need as living in the centre is very convenient: it takes me only fifteen minutes by bus to get to work. There are good shops and supermarkets nearby. And when I go out in the evening, I don’t have to bother about where to park my. car. Life is easier on foot.
Speaker E. I believe that city dwellers should use personal cars less if they want the environment to be healthy. I never use my car if I can get to the place by bus or train. Trains and buses come and go according to the schedule and I’m never late to work or appointments. Also, buses go along special routes and escape traffic jams. I also enjoy reading on a bus or looking through the window — it’s relaxing.
B−6: I’ve lived all my life in the city centre and I’ve always enjoyed the city lifestyle. However, now I’m considering moving to the countryside.
C−3: A personal car is a must for me. Fortunately, my children’s school is on the way to the office and I drive them there every morning.
D−5: Neither me nor my neighbours drive personal cars — there’s no need as living in the centre is very convenient
E−1: Trains and buses come and go according to the schedule and I’m never late to work or appointments. Also, buses go along special routes and escape traffic jams. I also enjoy reading on a bus or looking through the window — it’s relaxing.

| Jennifer fell ill in the | lesson. |
Doctor: Well. you’re Jennifer Black, aren’t you? the sixth form?
Jennifer: Yes, Doctor, it’s me.
Doctor: Your teacher said you suddenly fell ill in the PE lesson. What exactly happened?
Jennifer: To tell the truth, I’ve been feeling unwell all morning. When I tried to get up I felt very weak and stayed in bed for an extra fifteen minutes to cope with the weakness and the pain in my stomach. I was nearly late for the first class because of that.
Doctor: OK, but during the PE class. did you do any tiring exercises? Too much running or any difficult exercises?
Jennifer: ‘I didn’t have any breakfast actually.
Doctor: Was it because you were going to be late for school? Did you skip breakfast as you didn’t have time for it?
Jennifer: No, it’s not that. I don’t normally eat breakfast because I want to lose weight. I want to be slimmer.
Doctor: Yes, I see. Can you describe in detail what you usually eat during the day? How many meals do you have? Lunch? Dinner? Supper?
Jennifer: One. At about 4 o’clock. I don’t know what to call it. I have a glass of juice and some salad, and a yogurt. Sometimes I skip the yogurt.
Doctor: Look here, Jenny, can’t you understand that you are ruining your body? This
dieting will end up in an eating disorder, which will cause serious stomachaches, which you mentioned you’ve already been having, heart problems, kidney problems. You may become an easy target for any infection or disease. For now, I strongly recommend the medical examination called endoscopy. You’ll swallow a small flexible camera, so we will be able to see your stomach from inside.
Doctor: We’ll have to, unfortunately. I’ll call the hospital and make an appointment for you. And I’ll let you know about the exact date and time tomorrow, OK?
Jennifer: OK. Will you call me?
Doctor: It would be better if you drop in. I want to check your blood pressure just to be sure. And now we are going to design your new diet. You must follow it.

A. Nothing brings back memories like a particular smell. Whether it’s of Christmas pine, your grandma’s fresh-baked gingerbread, or cookies, the scents of Christmas are truly special. In the days leading up to this day, the house fills with the wonderful rich, spicy smells of vanilla, cinnamon and ginger coming from the kitchen, promising delights to come.
B. Some of the most pleasant scents after a hard day are vanilla, lavender, and scents with cinnamon or ginger. Each combination of aromas can influence you positively. For example, vanilla’s sweet scent can help you if you feel sad, lonely, or depressed. It is a naturally warming aroma. Cinnamon is good in case you feel tired; it also has a wonderful effect on your nerves, calming you down.
C. The ability to smell is linked to our ability to remember things. When you first smell a new thing, you connect it to an event, a person, or even a moment. As a result, later the smell of cookies might remind you of spending time at your grandmother’s house when you were a small child. When you come across the smell a second or third time, the link is already there, ready to bring out a certain mood.
D. There are certain smells we can identify from a mile away — almost as if they’re preprogrammed into our minds. One of them is vanilla. Today, vanilla is in our coffee, perfumes, tea, home products, body lotion, and everywhere! Both the scent and taste of vanilla are very strong and long-lasting. It is considered one of the most popular scents and flavours in the world.
E. Our sense of smell does 80% of the job when we taste various foods. Without a sense of smell you can’t taste the difference between an apple and a potato or a glass of juice and a cup of cold coffee. This is why, when our nose is blocked by a cold, most foods seem tasteless. Our sense of smell becomes stronger when we are hungry.
F. There are many good reasons to believe that we all have our own particular smell. Research has proved that our smell might distinguish us from others just as our face does. Our smell is as personal as our fingerprints. For centuries the police have used this phenomenon to catch criminals. Maybe one day they will use our scent too.
