Q1. What does “it” refer to in sentences (a) and (c)?
a But it is vital not to take any chances.
b But not to take any chances is vital.
c It is important to remember that Ebola doesn’t respect
national boundaries.
d To remember that Ebola doesn’t respect national boundaries
is important.
“It” refers to “not to take any chances” in sentence (a).
“It” refers to “to remember that Ebola doesn’t respect national boundaries” in sentence (c).
Q2. What is the difference between the sentences in each group?
a But it is vital not to take any chances.
b But not to take any chances is vital.
c It is important to remember that Ebola doesn’t respect
national boundaries.
d To remember that Ebola doesn’t respect national boundaries

The first sentences in each group use “it” as an empty subject at the beginning of the sentences.
形式主语
Q3. Why does the author choose to use sentences (a) and (c)
instead of (b) and (d)?
a But it is vital not to take any chances.
b But not to take any chances is vital.
c It is important to remember that Ebola doesn’t respect
national boundaries.
d To remember that Ebola doesn’t respect national boundaries
is important.
The reason why sentences (a) and (c) are chosen is that the sentences are kept balanced and the key information of the sentences is emphasised.
Task 1: Look for more sentences with similar structure and summarise its use.
1. I felt it was my duty as a doctor to go there and offer my help.
2. It is so inspiring to have colleagues like Wilton ...
3. ..., it is absolutely essential for us all to collaborate to create a global community with a shared future of peace and prosperity.
It as an empty subject
Task 2: Rewrite the underlined parts using it as
an empty subject.
it is no longer quite so difficult for women and minorities to get roles in American film and television.
it is now a more realistic hope for minority actors
to become a leading actor in Hollywood.
According to the “2017 Hollywood Diversity Report”, to get roles in American film and television is no longer quite so difficult for women and minorities. This is another small but important advance against gender and racial discrimination.
The report analysed 200 films released in 2015 and 1,206 TV shows from 2014 to 2015, and discovered that to become a leading actor in Hollywood is now a more realistic hope for minority actors.
it is more common than before for women to write and direct Hollywood films
it is seen as acceptable by film studios to cast white actors as Asian characters
In more good news, to write and direct Hollywood films is more common than before for women.
The bad news is that there is still a long way to go. Leading roles are more likely to be given to white actors. Asian American actors, in particular, still face problems. Even now, to cast white actors as Asian characters is seen as acceptable by film studios. But at least the report shows that things are moving slowly in the right direction.
Task 2: Rewrite the underlined parts using it as an
empty subject.
Task 3: Describe the city using the information
provided and it as an empty subject.

03. Practice
Read the passage and answer the questions.
Pay attention to the expressions in bold.
Nowadays, people all over the world are becoming more and more connected, as if the world were getting smaller—as if we were living in a “global village”.
Technology is largely responsible for bringing people together. Channels of communication, such as the mobile phone and the Internet, have made it possible to speak instantly with someone on the other side of the planet, enabling us to form close connections with people of completely different cultures. The television, meanwhile, is a window on the world, giving us quick and easy access to other cultures and lifestyles.
Cultural exchange helps us to be more inclusive and to overcome culture shock. But inclusiveness doesn’t mean that our cultures will merge into one another. Rather, it’s about countries and people making a joint effort to come together to create a more harmonious and understanding world, so that we can all enjoy the mutual benefits.

Listen to the conversation and choose the main idea.
More and more foreign words and expressions are entering the English language, especially those about food.
Chinese food is popular in the UK, and many Chinese words and expressions are entering English dictionaries as a result.
Intercultural communication is increasing, and people all over the world have a better understanding of each other.
World sports are bringing people together in the same way that food is.
Listen again and complete the table.

04. Production
Work in pairs. Talk about another phenomenon of the global village using the expressions in this section.
Now think about any difficulties you encountered during your discussion and what you did to overcome them.
It is now possible for people from different countries to work together seamlessly without being in the same physical space. It is clear that digital tools like Zoom and Slack have made this possible. It is amazing how the global village has connected professionals worldwide, allowing them to collaborate in real time regardless of location.

The Global Village and Me
Technology has made our world a global village. It is amazing that I can video call my friend in Canada anytime. Last year, I worked on a school project with students from Japan online. It was a wonderful experience to learn about their culture. I hope to meet them in person one day. I believe it is important for our young people to connect and build a better world together.
