3. Telling Time

(picture by: www.google.com)


There are two common ways of telling the time.
1) Say the hour first and then the minutes. (Hour + Minutes)
6:25 - It's six twenty-five
9:11 - It's nine eleven
2:34 - It's two thirty-four
2) Say the minutes first and then the hour. (Minutes + PAST / TO + Hour)
For minutes 1-30 we use PAST after the minutes.
For minutes 31-59 we use TO after the minutes.
2:35 - It's twenty-five to three
11:20 - It's twenty past eleven
8:51 - It's nine to nine
2:59 - It's one to three
When it is 15 minutes past the hour we normally say: (a) quarter past
7:15 - It's (a) quarter past seven
When it is 15 minutes before the hour we normally say: a quarter to
12:45 - It's (a) quarter to one
When it is 30 minutes past the hour we normally say: half past
3:30 - It's half past three (but we can also say three-thirty)
O'clock
We use o'clock when there are NO minutes.
10:00 - It's ten o'clock
5:00 - It's five o'clock
12:00
For 12:00 there are four expressions in English.
twelve o'clock

Note:
Articles (a, an and the) can be difficult for the English student to master, especially if
articles dont appear in the first language. If you review these basic rules and practice, you can
improve your use of articles.
Example:
Lets start with a sentence.
The teacher assigned a book to read.
There are two articles in this sentence, the and a.
Now, why did I say a book instead of the book? Whats the difference in meaning?
Here, I said a book because I was talking about:
a single book (just one); and
I know that you dont know which book it is.
The teacher assigned a book to read.
The article a
1 use with a non-specific noun; or
2 when you have never talked about that noun before with the listener.
So, in the sentence:
The teacher assigned a book to read.
It means that the listener doesnt know which book was assigned, and it doesnt really matter yet
which specific book was assigned. Its just one, non-specific book. Whats important is that is
must be read.

Role Play
A visitor arrives on the MV Transitor
Situation: Work in pair. The first person be a visitor and the second person be a guide. The
visitor arrives on the MV Transitor. He asks the locations of many rooms to the guide.

4. Grammar: Degree of Comparison


a. Positive Degree is used to compare two things or people that have the same quality.
The pattern is:
22

Noun 1 + be + as adjective as + noun 2

Example:
Tanjung Perak harbor
Noun 1

is
be

as good as
as adj as

Ketapang harbor
Noun 2

Philippine
Noun 1

is
be

as far as
as adj as

Vietnam
Noun 2

b. Comparative Degree is used to compare two things that the one has more quality or
a greater degree than the other one. Those are specific rules for this second type. If
the adjective consists of two syllables or least, it must be added ersuch as cleverer,
smaller, and harder. On the other hand, an adjective which consists of more than two
syllables must be preceded by more such as more beautiful, more careful, and more
important.
Here is the pattern for an adjective with one or two syllables.
Noun 1 + be + adjective + er than + noun 2
Example:
Singapore
Noun 1

is
be

nearer than
Adj+er than

Denmark
Noun 2

Here is the pattern for an adjective with more than two syllables.
Noun 1 + be + more adjective + than + noun 2
Example:
Red sea
Noun 1

is
be

more beautiful than


Adj+er than

Black sea
Noun 2

23

c. Superlative Degree is used to show a thing or a person which has the greatest degree.
The rules for this stage are adding est for an adjective with two syllables or least and
preceding by most for an adjective with more than two syllables.
Here is the pattern for an adjective with one or two syllables.
Noun 1 + be + the adjective + est+ noun 2
Example:
The Arctic Ocean
Noun 1

is
be

the smallest
Adj + est

ocean.
Noun 2

Here is the pattern for an adjective with more than two syllables.
Noun 1 + be + the most adjective + noun 2
Example:
Sailing
Noun 1

is
be

the most wonderful Activity


The most +Adj
Noun 2

5. Speaking Material
Practice this following dialogue with your partner. (The students are given the
fractions 2/6 and 5/6 to be compared)

24

Student A

The ships cargo of 5/6 ton is bigger.

Student B

Why do you think so?

Student A

Because 5 is bigger than 2.

Student B

But...

Student A

So, the cargo of 2/6 ton is less than 5/6 ton.

Student B

But that doesn't always work.

Student A

What?

Student B

Just... Just because the top, the numerator is bigger, that doesn't
always work.

Student A

Okay.

Student B

Like, if you had 1/2 versus 3/8, just because the 3 is bigger than 1

doesn't mean that 3/8 is bigger than 1/2.Because..because.. half of 8


is 4 and so 4/8, and 3/8 is less than half, and 1/2 is half , so...
Student A

Yeah but 5/6 ton is bigger than 2/6 ton.

Student B

Yeah, but we have to PROVE it.

Student A

We can... we can draw a picture?

Student B

Okay... (draws 2 circles, splits both into sixths, colors one 5/6 and
the other one 2/6)

Student A

That piece is definitely bigger.

Student B

Is there another way you can prove it?

Student A

:
NUMBER LINE!

Student B

Oh, yeah!

Student A

Okay, so... here's zero, and here's 1, and this goes here (draws 1/2 in
the middle).

Student B

:
But where does 2/3 go? I mean 2/6 go?

Student A

(silent)

Student B

Well... we know it's going to go somewhere here because it's less


than half.

Student A

Oh! Put in half!

Student B

Oh yeah, half is also 3/6 (draws 3/6 above 1/2)

Student A

So 2/6 goes right before 3/6. And... 5/6 goes really close to the end.

Student B

Yeah.

Student A

(looks at teacher) I know this because it's almost 6/6 and 6/6 is 1
whole!

5. Speaking Material
Reading text. What can seafarers do in the free time?
Well at sea, especially to be a sailor, the boredom can strike you a lot. Movies, videos,
and other stuff are not enough to kill the time. Lets see the things that we can do to spend
our extra time at sea:
1. Working on our hobby
Seafarers mostly have a lot of hobbies like poetry, drawing, sketching, reading books,
etc. So these are the best mates to pass the time. This will also give a boost to your
hobby. So, what is your hobby? We do have some facilities to support your hobby at
vessel.
2. Preparing for your next exams
At sea you can prepare yourself for your next exams. For example, if you are planning
to go for officers exams, then you can start preparing for that on ship only. It is the
best place to start with, as nothing can be best than this to see what practically thing
looks like.
3. Doing various events at sea
On ship organizing various events like table tennis tournaments or other events like
barbeque, stuff like that greatly helps in passing your time and also helps people to
mingle with each other easily. A good evening with each other playing cards, watching
movie together greatly helps to de-stress yourself.
4. Exploring the Sky
Sea is a place where you get uninterrupted view of the sky. So, if you are a sky lover
too, then buy yourself a decent telescope and search the sky. Set your instrument at the
bridge and then start exploring all the important arrangements of start at sea. Not much
people do that, but surely it is a great way to spend time.
5. Cooking
Many sailors are seen in the galley whenever they have free time. Some of them can
put the chef to shame when it comes to cooking. So, if you are one of those who loves
to try out something new, then why not go out there and try something exciting.

Degrees of Comparison
It is usedused when we compare one person or one thing with another.
In some cases the comparative is formed by:
1. Adding the suffix er to a one syllable adjective.
2. Sometimes two syllable words become comparative with an er suffix as well.
3. At other times the words more or lessprecede a two or three syllable adjective to show
degrees of comparison.

Examples:
The MV Freedom is higher than the MV Kennedy.
The cargo on board the MV Freedom is heavier than the cargo on board the MV Kennedy.
The MV Kennedy is more expensive to charter than the MV Freedom.
Adjectives with Irregular Forms

61

Some adjectives have irregular forms when made into comparative or superlative adjectives.
They do not add an er or est and they dont add the words more or most. In fact, in some
cases, a whole new word is used.Here are some examples with the adjective first, then the
comparativeadjective and then the superlative adjective:
Bad - worse
Good - better
Far - farther
Little - less
Much - more
Example :
The new engine is better than the old engine.

Which vessel is the bigest?


Look at these following vessels!

Ship A is the bigest ship


Ship C is the smallest ship
Superlative
A superlative adjective compares three or more nouns. This takes the comparison of nouns to
the highest degree. Here are the rules of superlative adjectives:
a. One syllable words - add est to the word.
b. Two and three syllable words - use most or least.

62

Example:
1. This vessel is the slowest in the port.
2. This vessel is the most expensive to charter in the port.
3. This vessel is the best in the port.

To make you more understand in asking and giving response about the weather, please take a
look on this following conversation

Ann : Oh, it feels so cold this morning.


Mary : It sure is. Early this morning my cars windshield was covered with frost. I had to spray
it with water before I could head to school.
Ann : Who would have thought it could be this cold in early December, especially in
California.
Mary : I know. The temperature was 35 degrees Fahrenheit when I woke up this morning. I was
freezing as soon as I got out of bed. The cold weather just hit me by surprise.
Ann : I cannot remember when it was this cold in early December.
Mary : Brace yourself for the rain this afternoon. Cold and wet, Yuck!
Ann : It is going to rain this afternoon?
Mary : Not only this afternoon, but also the rest of the week.
Ann : Oh, it is going to be miserable. I have a full class schedule today and tomorrow. To walk
from class to class, I will have to juggle my books and my umbrella trying not to get wet.
Mary : You carry too many books. Why dont you leave some of them in your locker?
Ann : My locker is a long way from my English classes. This is the reason why I carry all my
books with me. Is it going to rain hard or just drizzle?
Mary : The news said that it would start to drizzle around noon, and then it would rain really
hard by three oclock.
Ann : No hope for better weather this week?
Mary : There is a slim chance of sunshine by Saturday. However, it will be foggy, windy, and
rainy before the sun comes out this weekend.
Ann : I am glad that it rains even though I do not like rainy weather. We have a very dry
season so far this year.
Mary : Yes, I can hardly remember when it rained last time. Well, as long as there is no thunder
or lightning, I can bear it.
Ann : We rarely have thunder or lightning in California.
71

Mary : We are very lucky that California has one of the best weather conditions in America.
When it is hot, it is not humid; when it rains, there is no thunder or lightning, and the cold
weather during the winter season is quite mild compared to the weather of the other states.
Ann : Yes, we are lucky. However, sometimes when I look at the Christmas pictures, I just
wish we had some snow. It looks so pretty when everything is covered by a blanket of pure white
snow.
Mary : Living in southern California all my life, I have never seen snow. I would not mind
playing in the snow once in a while.
Ann : Yes, it would be fun to make a snowman or go skiing.
Mary : We have never seen snow; we have never made a snowman, and we have never gone
skiing. We better do something about this.
Ann : May be we should plan a trip to Aspen, Colorado during winter break. I heard that the
skiing season is fantastic up there.
Mary : I dont think we can afford a trip to Aspen. It is very expensive up there.
Ann : I am just wishing. I know what I will be doing during winter break. I will be working
very hard to save money for a new car.
Mary : With the cars that we drive, it is better that we live in a place where there is no snow.
Ann : You are right, we are better off with no snow. Ok, I have class right now; see you later
in the library.
Mary : See you later.

Read the following article.
10 Simple Things That Make Seafarers Happy On Board Ships
1. The Internet:On shore, internet has become pretty much a
necessity along with food and drinking water! Life without the
Internet is uninhabitable for some right.
2. The Satellite Telephone: If you recognize the INMARSAT satellite
telephone code on your mobile, drop whatever youre doing and
take that call! It is not a device we use to make routine calls to
inform everyone that were all right or to use it for frivolous
conversation.
3. The Recreational Room: This is the college/boarding room common room we all
grew up with! Equivalent to the airport lounges after a hard tenure of travel, this little
bit of real estate is where we congregate for a prolonged session of debate, films, and
general tomfoolery! Be it a tea break during work hours, or the usual accepted time of
sitting together post dinner; a well laid out smoking/recreation room keeps the sailors
in binding on an everyday basis. This is where the films, music and other visual
entertainment is stacked, bringing together seafarers of different ranks to sit together
through a few hours. This is also where the cards are played, sports tournaments are
planned and ideas are hatched, and, if the company policy allows, alcohol is
consumed..
4. Parties: The ubiquitous parties on board are the sorts of thing every seafarer loves.
Be it Christmas, New Year, someones birthday or maybe just a good day; a good
party on board makes each and everyone happy.
5. Sleep: No seafarer can ever deny that the most prized asset in the arsenal is a sound,
long sleep! Overworked most of the times and in need of some rest, a seafarer looks
forward to the time when he can go back to his cabin after a hard day/night at work
for some rest and recuperation. Those who work onboard will know most of the
times, going to the cabin inadvertently means going off to sleep (unless there are
more pressing matters at hand).
6. Appreciation for good work: It is not really necessary that it involves grand words of
praise; however, a simple thank you or good job can go a long way in making
seafarers feel the work they did was of immense value to someone else, thereby
automatically increasing eagerness to work and efficiency in work.
93

7. Bonuses/Perks: We as human beings, seafarer or not, are tuned to accepting reward


in the right spirit. Necessarily not monetary at all times, any form of reward increases
output and is almost always taken in high spirits. A little extra in the month end
allotment, or something from the side of the charterers always makes a seafarer feel
involved in the processes of the company. Quite logically, appreciation combined
with perks definitely ups the allegiance of an individual to his company in terms of
work as well as loyalty.
8. Timely Sign-off and Shorter contracts: An employer, who puts the interest of a
seafarer, especially when it involves his long due visit home, surely signifies great
work ethos. The topic of shorter contracts also falls under the same purview, for short
contracts ward off negative thoughts on behalf of the seafarer such as counting days
to go home, when will the vessel be alongside etc. Timely Sign-off is a matter of
concern of every seafarer. Just like other humans, seafarers also have made plans and
given commitments to their loved ones. Respecting the promises they have kept is all
a seafarer asks for the shipping companies and owners.
9.

A Day Off: A luxury that is not applicable to maritime professionals, a day off on
board is something that brings with it immense joy and anticipation. A rare
occurrence onboard, an off day gives most seafarers a much-required day away from
work and responsibilities. Waking up late and lazing around in the cabin all day are
small pleasures that come by once in a while and end up as a major refreshment of the
body and mind for the seafarer.

10. Good Food:Weve all read the quote The way to mans heart is through his
stomach. Well, it definitely holds strong on board. Seeing a good meal laid out on
the table gives every man immense joy. And what sailor wouldnt be happy with a
steaming plate of freshly prepared food right before/after his watch!
6. Speaking Skill
a) Make group that consist from three students.
b) Each group has to discuss each topic and evolves the topic to broad area. After
discussing the topic, each group has to present the material in front of the class. The
other group can ask the question to the presenters.
