As you know,in English there are some things that we say we do

and some things that we say we make.

Let's listen to three people talking about the things they do and the things they make.

I have to make breakfast for my family.

Then I make the beds.I do the laundry 2 and I do the ironing 3 too.

And I also have to tell the kids to do their homework for school.

It's not an easy life!I'm an office worker.I have a lot of work to do too.

I make phone calls all the time.I also make a lot of appoointments.

Of course,I try to do a good job and not make too many mistakes.

At least I try to do the right thing.I make a good living,

but I don't make a lot of money.

I'm a farmer.My wife and I do a lot of chores on our farm.

I have to do a lot of plowing 4.

While my wife does the housework.I do all the heavy work around the farm.

Now let's listen to Mike and Connieas they wonder about how people lived on farms a long time ago.

I wonder how they lived on farms years ago.

How did they do the laundry without washing machines?

How did they do the ironing without electricity?

How did they make phone calls without telephones?

Come on.Let's find out.I made an appointment to interview someone at three.

Now listen and repeat.without washing machines how did they do the laundry

How did they do the laundry without washing machines?

With no washing machines?

How did they do the laundry with no washing machines?

With out electricity how did they do the ironing

How did they do the ironing without electricity?

with no electricity HOw did they do the ironing with no electricity?

Notice that you can say"without washing machines"or "with no washing machines".

You can also say"without electricity"or "with no electricity"

The meaning is about the same.

Now you're going to hear something people either do,

like laundry,or make like phone calls.Then you'll hear "without"or "with no.

Combine the two to ask a question staring with How did people...?

For example,you hear...The laundry...without.And you say...

How did people do the laundry without washing machines?

Or you hear...Phone calls...with no.And you say...

How did people make phone calls with no telephones?

All right,let's begin.The laundry...without.

Phone calls...with no.How did people make phone calls with no telephones?

The dishes...without.How did people do the dishes without dishwashers 7?

Clothes...with no.How did people make clothes with no sewing machines?

The ironing...without.How did people do the irnoing without electric irons 8?

Dinner...with no.How did people make dinner with no electric stoves?

To end this lesson.

Listen to this converstaion which uses the following idiomatic 9 expressions:

to pitch 10 in.to do without,to give it my best shot 11,and to pass something up.Ready?Listen.

Tell me,what was it like to grow up on a farm?

It was hard,There were a lot of chores to do.

But everyone helped.Everyone pitched 12 in.That's how we did all the work.

But we were poor.and we couldn't buy everything we wanted.

We had to do without many things that other people had.

Did you ever want to be a farmer yourself?

I tried it for several years.I gave it my best shot.but it didn't work.

I couldn't make money as a farmer.so I sold the farm...unfortunately.

Why do you say "unfortunately"?

Because after I sold my farm,they found oil in the ground.

But it was too late for me.I passed up my chance to be rich.

Now repaet these expressions.Pitched in Everyone pitched in.

do without We had to do without many things.

gave it my best shot I give it my best shot.passed up I passed up my chance to be rich.

Now you'll hear a question followed by two responses.

Repeat the response that makes sense in each situation.For example,you hear...

Did you decide to accept the new job?No.I decided 13 to pitch in.

No.I decided to pass it up.And you say...No.I decided to pass it up.or you hear...

No.I'm too busy.I'll have to pass up lunch today.

No.I'm too busy.I'll have to pass up lunch today.And you say...
