Summary
This activity is designed to improve sentence accuracy and complexity. Most students can produce the key content words in a sentence. However, they have difficulty with accuracy because the functional words are difficult or can seem unimportant. This activity will help learners eliminate problems with these functional words by giving them immediate feedback on the mistakes they are making. It will also help students develop their use of more natural, varied and complex sentence structures.
TIP: Say the sentence out loud. Notice the types of mistake you make often. Focus on those types of errors. (singular/plural, subject-verb agreement, article use, prepositions, gerunds and infinitives, noun clauses, adjective clauses, word order, and word forms.)

So tell me Kate, why do we drink?
So let me get the really obvious answer out of the way. And then we'll get to the less obvious answer. The obvious answer is we do it because it's fun.
Scientists have recently learned that alcohol has a really large capacity to produce endorphins. Endorphins of course or the natural opiates of the body produces, so
obviously we want to do it.
But that kind of raises a second larger question that's a bit trickier, which is why has Evolution set us up to do this thing that is so obviously bad for us, right?
And people who have looked at this have sort have made the point that there must have been something it was doing that was really good that was balancing out the harms.
Or otherwise, evolution would have fixed this, right? It would have favored people who hated the way alcohol tasted, for example.
It didn't do that, so what could have been going on?
And this stuff dovetails nicely with some recent archaeological findings
So about 25 years ago, a site was identified in Eastern Turkey. Gobekli Tempeh it's called.
It is, we think, the earliest human temple to have been found. It's 10 to 12 thousand years old. That means it predates the very early part of the Agricultural Revolution.
It's not only twice as old as Stonehenge, it's made of these gigantic pillars of stone that would have taken hundreds of people working together to put together.
And what's perplexing about this site is it wasn't a place where anybody was farming. It wasn't a place where anybody was living.
As far as the archaeological record suggests, it was a place where people were partying.
These stones have these elaborate drawings of people playing music, and it looks like drinking alcohol.
And they've also found these enormous vats that look like they were made to hold really old school beer and wine.
It's basically an ancient Brewery.
It's basically not an ancient brewery. It is like an ancient club, right?
Yeah.
So archaeologists have tried to puzzle this out think that what was happening is that hunter-gatherers were coming from all directions periodically to have these big
alcohol-fueled feests.
And presumably the draw of the food in the booze got them to cooperate and put up these gigantic pillars of stone.
It probably lead a lot of authority to the people who organized the whole enterprise.
And it very likely motivated people to want to settle down and cooperate.
I mean you have these sort of fractious unrelated groups of people. It's not obvious why they would want to get together, but partying seems like actually a pretty good answer.
Why is it significant that long ago that people were getting together to drink and party.
Well, I mean if you think about it, one of the really important things that we have to do to succeed as humans is work together.
So, we are in some ways more bees or ants than we are like chimpanzees, right?
Chimpanzees are totally fractious and competitive, and you couldn't possibly put thousands of chimps together and like expect to have a party or like a bunch of stones.
Humans have to do this, right? Human civilization requires people to cooperate, and there's a line of thinking that, you know, alcohol may have helped us to do that.
It sort of socially disinhibited us just enough to sort of cooperate.
In a way, it may be similar to what religion did for early humans.
I mean, essentially just as religions gave people something to rally around, alcohol may have played a pretty similar function.
