the sections “Focused Practice” and . “Communication Practice” in your textbook.

7.4 Infinitives of Purpose
First of all, let me tell you that a purpose can be expressed with an infinitive (to + base form of the verb)
or “in order to” + base form of verb. “To” + base form of verb is more common in informal speech and
writing. On the other hand, a negative purpose can be expressed with “in order not to” + base form of
verb. Additionally, “because” + a reason is more common in everyday spoken English.
This section begins with a magazine article about multi-use technology. Do the activities called “Before
you Read” and “After you Read”. Then answer the following comprehension questions which are based
on the article:
