ADDITIONAL INFORMATION



1.    Put the words below the pictures of the following items. Write the most you can.

See the video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXjZbHuvalk 


1.    Read the following text, and then answer the questions.

         Are Mobile Phones Taking Over Our Lives?

Next time you’re in a public place, take a look around you, and count how many people are using their phones. I can tell you now that it is probably more than half, whether you’re on public transport, in a café or simply walking down the street.
I’m not saying that I am not an example of this, but it always amazes me how people can spend so much time on their phones without actually talking to anyone in particular. With the constant upgrade of technology we can now do practically anything on a device which can fit in the palm of our hands. But has it gone too far? Do we spend too much time on our mobiles and not enough time talking to people ‘in real life’?
For example, I recently visited London and travelled on the tube while I was there. Apart from the people asleep, almost everybody else was on their phones, and because of the nature of the tube, it is difficult not to see exactly what they are all doing. Of course, being underground it is difficult to get any signal, which rules out texting or using the internet, but there is still plenty you can use your phones for. People were playing games, reading articles and listening to music, and I am sure that as soon as they emerged from the train station they would start texting or calling or checking their emails. There is a constant connection to everyone in the world, as long as you have a mobile phone in your hand.
Recently, my smart phone broke and had to be sent off to the warehouse for repair for a week or so. In the meantime I had to use a really old, basic phone just to keep me in touch with my family and friends. All I could do on this phone was sent text messages, make calls and play one game. And I loved it. I loved being free from the internet, and I really didn’t mind not having constant updates about what my friends were doing or what the latest celebrity story was. It was quite refreshing and it allowed me to spend more time taking in my surroundings – I could enjoy my time in London more, for example, and I could watch the people around me and really see what was going on.
However, I knew that as soon as I got my smart phone back I would be one of those people once again, obsessed with finding out what everyone is doing and wasting my time playing games or checking social network sites. Perhaps I should just go back to using the basic phone and forget I ever got my smart phone back.

      As an instructor at one of the top universities in the Asia-Pacific region, I have some really smart students. One of my smartest students ever is in my current essay writing class. Her name is Esther. Last week, the deadline for submission of final assignments for my essay was Friday, and I was surprised and disappointed when, at five p.m., the only student who had not submitted her assignment was Esther. I tried calling her, but she was out.
      Next morning, I did what most Internet addicts do on first getting up – I checked my e-mail. There was Esther’s assignment, sent as an e-mail attachment. Received at 11:59 p.m. She has a great sense of timing, Esther. I used the ‘insert comment’ function of Microsoft Word to embed extensive comments on her assignment, and, resisting the temptation to mark her down for the anxiety she had caused, gave her a well-deserved ‘A’. I returned her assignment electronically, and an hour or so later received a message from her thanking me for the comments and the grade.
      A student in the same section, although not in the same grade as Esther, also submitted his assignment as an e-mail attachment. This student (let’s call him Luke) is considerably weaker than Esther. I was therefore astonished when I opened the e-mail attachment and found an essay far more elegantly crafted than anything Luke had ever produced for me before. It was clear that someone else had written the piece. However, when I confronted Luke he was adamant – of course it was his own work! He even managed to look hurt at the implication that someone else had written it.
      I showed the essay to a colleague who immediately recognized it as a piece from the World Wide Web. He downloaded and printed a copy for me which I included, along with the URL, in a message to Luke. Next morning, he was outside my office waiting, shamefaced, to apologize.
      These two stories illustrate two of the ways that the Internet is transforming my teaching. I’m sure that many readers have similar stories. If the Internet has not yet touched you on your teaching, it’s a reasonable bet that it will do so in the not too distant future.

      Just what is it that motivates someone to try to break into computer systems? Some people just enjoy the adrenaline thrill of proving they can do it. Some years ago some electronic New York City subway signs were changed. They said ‘Hackers Quarterly’ instead of the name of the station.
This is the work of harmless but slightly annoying geeks. These types of hackers are often classified as ‘Cyberpunks’. They are usually male, between 12 and 30, white, educated and very bored. If they cause a tiny bit of disruption, they feel cool and superior.

          HACKING FOR PERSONAL PROFIT
  A hacker in France managed to reprogram the exchange rates of ATM machines so he could get thousands of dollars for his euros. Although this is serious, it was something he simply did to make a small profit.

          INVADING PRIVACY
 You might be surprised who can read your e-mails. A woman in Canada thought she had found the perfect boyfriend over the Internet. She had recently had a tattoo done of Bugs Bunny, had split up with a boyfriend, had learnt to cook Japanese food and was thinking of going to India. She joined an online dating service and started e-mailing this guy. After a few days, he mentioned he had separated from his girlfriend, he casually mentioned he loved Japanese food, had always adored Bugs Bunny... The guy had managed to read her e-mails to her friends and family. Because she had chosen the same password for lots of different things he was even able to look at her bank account to see if she would be a rich girl to marry or not. This is why you must never choose the same password for everything.

          CRIMINAL HACKERS
   Criminal hackers go one step further. They use their knowledge to spy on different companies and get paid for it. Many have connections with organised criminal groups. With so much of our world being controlled by computers, it would be easy for a hacker to create total chaos. If they could disrupt electricity stations, water supplies or even air traffic control, they could do serious damage.

SECOND PERIOD.  (2ND P) 




1.  see the video about frequency adverbs at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG0N1TMtyDw
We use frequency adverbs to talk about how often we do an activity. Among others we have:

Examples: I always get up early every day.  Helen usually goes to school on foot.
                  My mom is never sad.     Anderson and Paul are sometimes out of class.
Notice: if we use the verb to be the adverb goes after it; but if we use another verb, the adverb goes before the verb. Normally, they are used in present simple tense. Remember the use of  “S” in third person.
But there are other expressions that we can use, such as time expressions, among others we have:  Every morning, one a week, three times a year, every two years, etc; we have also adverbial expressions like these: from time to time, now and then, several times, again and again, hardly ever=(almost never).
Examples: we go to school every day. I wear a scarf from time to time.  Wilson began to work twenty two years ago.

















2. Read the following text about Jon`s time off, and complete the chart below

     John works a lot; so, when he has time off he likes to unwind and  relax. From time to time, he goes away on the weekend. When he goes, it is usually to the country side for a few days. He loves nature and the peace and quiet, so when he is there he always takes long walks in the forests. He frequently brings his kids with him so in the mornings they go fishing. A few times a year, he also goes to the beach. He often goes to a resort abroad where he can really de-stress.  He can seldom take his kids with him as they always have school when he wants to go. It´s normally difficult to arrange time of that works out the same as the school holidays. Every time he has time off he says "it´s never enough!"

In SECOND PERIOD.  (2ND P)

     
                second part 
    
   see the video at: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6obtWX7sCLE     

1.    In this section you are going to learn about simple past and past progressive tense and their use. I hope you practice with your family at home.

El uso de los tiempos verbales es de suma importancia, teniendo en cuenta que es con ellos que se construyen frases en inglés. No obstante, más allá de saberlos de memoria está en reconocer cómo usarlos.

Write the verbal tenses that you remember with at least one characteristic. Remember the meaning of “write” is ;  “at least” is: al menos.

Now we will see a chart in order to learn how to use them

PAST SIMPLE

FORM

USE

EXAMPLES

 

        Affirmative: subject + past verb

     Actions completed at a specific time in the past (finished action + finished time)

        Key words: when, yesterday, last… ago, in 2009

      I played cards with them. (regular verb)

      We went for a walk last week. (irregular verb)

 

      Negative: subject +didn`t + verb

      She didn’t come with me last night.

      The students didn’t understand the mistake.

     Question: did + subject + verb + ?

 

       Did you like the match?

      Did the concert finish at 10?

     Remember: that in the affirmative we use the -ed form in regular verbs and the specific form for the irregular ones. In negative and interrogative, we only need the infinitive

 

PAST CONTINOUS

FORM

USE

EXAMPLES

     Affirmative: subject + was/were + Verb + ing

      Actions in progress at a particular time in the past.

       Key words: while, as, at 9 o’clock…

     They were watching TV while I was studying English.

     Negative: subject + was/were + not + verb + ing

      He wasn’t paying attention.    

     Question: was/were + subject + verb + ing + ?

Adjectives to Describe a Person.

People vary in terms of their physical appearance and personalities, and the words that are used to describe them are just as varied. Some words are better suited to describing the physical appearance of someone, some are best used to describe the person’s style, and others are ideal for describing the person’s character traits. It is important to have these words in your written and spoken vocabulary because you may, at some point in your life, face a situation that requires you to describe someone.

THIRD PERIOD.  (3RD P)

       Third part.


In this section we are going to learn about present perfect tense. do you remember verbs like (have – had; be – been; speak – spoken). What other verbs can you write in past participle? Write them ____________________________________________________________________

PRESENT PERFECT TENSE

We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now. The exact time is not important. We CAN use the Present Perfect with unspecific expressions such as: ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc.

We use this tense in the following situations

TOPIC 1: Experience

You can use the Present Perfect to describe your experience. It is like saying, "I have the experience of..." You can also use this tense to say that you have never had a certain experience. The Present Perfect is NOT used to describe a specific event.

Examples: Michelle has studied two foreign languages. he has never been to France.

TOPIC 2: Change Over Time

We often use the Present Perfect to talk about change that has happened over a period of time.

Examples: You have grown since the last time I saw you. I’ve learnt so much this year. 

TOPIC 3: Accomplishments

We often use the Present Perfect to list the accomplishments of individuals and humanity. You cannot mention a specific time.

Examples: Man has walked on the Moon. Doctors have cured many deadly diseases. 

TOPIC 4: An Uncompleted Action You Are Expecting

We often use the Present Perfect to say that an action which we expected has not happened. Using the Present Perfect suggests that we are still waiting for the action to happen.

Examples: Bill has still not arrived at work. James hasn’t finished his work yet.

TOPIC 5 Multiple Actions at Different Times

We also use the Present Perfect to talk about several different actions which have occurred in the past at different times. Present Perfect suggests the process is not complete and more actions are possible.

Examples: The army has attacked that city five times. I have had four quizzes this year.

En resumen, el tiempo presente perfecto se emplea en cinco situaciones especiales, como son: experiencia, cambios en el tiempo, logros, acciones incompletas que se esperan finalizar y acciones múltiples en distintos momentos. el verbo TO HAVE actúa como auxiliar y se convierte en haber. y el verbo principal debe ir siempre en participio pasado. recuerde que hay verbos regulares e irregulares. El siguiente cuadro explica la estructura y tiene un verbo regular.

FOURTH PERIOD.  (4TH P)

       first part.



In this section, we are going to learn about some modal verbs. Can you remember some of them? ____________________________________________________________________

HAVE TO – MUST – SHOULD

We use have to / must / should + infinitive to talk about obligation, things that are necessary to do, or to give advice about things that are a good idea to do.

Have to mainly expresses general obligations, while must is used for specific obligations or necessities: I have to brush my teeth twice a day. I must tell you something. Important: To express obligation, duty or necessity in the future or the past, must and need are not used.

have to is more frequent in conversation; must is used in formal writing, especially in writing notices.

have changes in the third person singular (he – she – it) by has

examples:  I have to brush my teeth twice a day.   I must tell you something.

In their negative forms, mustn't and don't have to have completely different meanings:
Mustn’t expresses prohibition

You mustn't drive. You are prohibited to drive. You are not allowed to drive.

•  Don't have to expresses the absence of obligation or necessity:

You don't have to drive. You are not obliged to drive (but you can if you want to).

she has to work hard this week.

Nevertheless, should is used to give advice, a recommendation or a suggestion. Expresses that a situation is likely in the present or in the future (prediction) also an obligation that is not as strong as Must.




Los verbos modales have to y must expresan obligación y necesidad. mientras que should se refiere mas a un consejo, recomendación o sugerencia. En cualquier caso, deben llevar el verbo en su forma infinitiva. Have to: tener que;     must: debe;   should: debería.
