PLANTS

 Plants are extraordinary living things. Although they seem simple, they are actually, in some ways, more complicated than us.
For instance, a whole new plant can be grown from just a single leaf. No animal can accomplish that! The way that plants distribute their seeds is amazing too. Plants can shoot seeds from their pods, send them flying on the wind, or grow spines that attach seeds to animals’ fur, spreading new generations everywhere.
Plants are also amazingly adaptable, finding ways to grow even in impossible environments, both hot and cold. Plants manufacture their own food from sunlight, absorb nutrients from the ground, and fool insects into spreading their pollen. Truly, they are some of nature’s finest creations.

En el siguiente cuadro encontrarán un resumen de las clases de condicionales que existen en inglés y su uso o aplicación.



 

En inglés existen varias situaciones que son consideradas como condicionales. Estas se dan debido a posibles eventos que pueden ser reales o ficticios, para ello empleamos unas estructuras especiales según la condición, estas van desde el cero hasta el tercer condicional; es preciso aclara que cada condición conlleva un resultado; el condicional cero, se emplea para hechos y sucesos científicos reales; el primer, para posibles situaciones que se pueden dar en el futuro; el segundo para situaciones improbables o hipotéticas; el tercer se emplea para hablar de situaciones imaginarias del pasado que nunca sucedieron.  Para cada caso se establece una base gramatical precisa, que es la que hace posible la relación y aplicación según la situación presentada. Así:

CONDITIONAL

The mystery of the Red Truck.

It has been confirmed that late on the night of the sixth of July, a large red truck 1 into the bakery on Maryland Street. After an initial investigation by police, it is now clear that the truck had no driver at all. The locals are asking a simple question: “Where was the driver?” If the police want to solve this mystery, they will need the CCTV footage from the street. One of the locals said: “We’re all quite worried about a truck with no driver. This truck has never been seen in the neighborhood before. If we’d seen that truck before, we 2 this mystery now.” Many locals share the same concerns. They want to know what’s happening in their town. A witness at the crime scene told police: “There was a loud noise coming 3 the truck while it was going towards the building and its speed.... it was unbelievable. If it had been going slower, I would’ve had a chance to see the driver. But all I saw was the truck speeding into the bakery as fast as it could.’’ The police have already 4 with eleven other residents but no one knows any further details about the incident. Superintendent Amanda Slippers remarked: “This is a tough case. The truck license plate belongs to this town, 5 nobody has seen it here. According to the town records, the owner of the truck moved away from here years 6. No one knows where to. If we located the owner, we'd probably solve this mystery.’’ If a truck moves, then it has a driver. Well, maybe we should change this basic assumption on account of this mysterious red truck.                      Sally Nicholls, a local reporter

SECOND PERIOD.  (2ND P)

       third part.



1. Black Friday



Every year, the day after Thanksgiving is the unofficial beginning of Christmas season. So, on the Friday after Thanksgiving, also called Black Friday, Americans begin their Christmas shopping.


2. Outlet mall



 An outlet mall sells everything at a reduced price. Many of them are large and outdoors, and Americans will often spend a full day walking around outlet malls and looking for discounts. It’s a great place to look for sales.


3. Yard sale / garage sale



” This is when people sell their old clothes, furniture and other items in front of their houses—in their yards or garages. These sales are great places to find cheap used goods. 


4. To Bargain (verb)



You can ask a seller if it’s OK to pay less for an item you want.

This is not usually OK in America—except at yard sales. So, if you see a t-shirt for $4 at a yard sale, you can ask for a lower price and bargain with the person selling stuff. For example:


5. “A steal”



It’s wrong to steal—to take something without paying for it. But if someone tells you their new dress was “a steal,” that’s a very good thing. That means they did not pay much for it. They paid so little that it almost felt like stealing. Actually, the meaning of “a steal” is similar to “a bargain.”


6. 50% off / $10 off



If a store is having a sale, many of their items will cost less than normal. This is called a discount. Usually you’ll see signs like:

50% off: The price is now 50% less than it was originally.


7. Overpriced

 


When a store wants you to pay too much for something, that thing is overpriced. 

 

·         Don’t buy that couch here, it’s way overpriced. I think you can find a cheaper couch elsewhere.


8. Stingy



It’s not always the store that charges too much. Sometimes, the price is fair but you don’t want to spend much money.

If you’re unwilling to spend money—even when you should spend money—you’re stingy. Stingy is the opposite of generous.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. 


1.    In this part we are going to learn about the passive voice. For it we need the use of the verb TO BE and the main verb in past participle.

La voz pasiva es una estructura muy empleada en inglés, en la cual lo que se enfatiza es el objeto, más que al sujeto. Es indispensable el empleo del verbo TO BE y del verbo principal en pasado participio.

What do you remember about the verb TO BE? And how many verbs can you write in past participle?

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

2.    Let’s see the following chart in order to learn about the passive voice. 



Como se puede observar para cada tiempo verbal existe una forma en voz pasiva. Nótese el uso del verbo TO BE, el cual, si la oración está en presente, el verbo TO BE va en presente y así de acuerdo con la oración. Otro aspecto es que el verbo make (hacer) para el caso del ejemplo se convirtió en made (hecho). Es decir, pasó a participio pasado. 

En este ejemplo en particular el sujeto HE (él) pasó a ser parte del complemento de la oración, mientras que el objeto THE DOOR (la puerta) se convirtió en el sujeto. Es decir, la oración normal diría: él abrió la puerta; pero en voz pasiva, dándole prioridad al objeto quedaría así: la puerta es abierta por él. Tenga siempre en cuenta pasar el verbo principal a participio pasado. Según el ejemplo anterior: OPEN = OPENED. Ya que es un verbo regular. Cabe resaltar, que de igual manera es importante emplear la palabra BY (por).

 

 EXERCISES:

1.    Write the words in the correct order to create sentences.

 

a. stolen – my – wallet – been – has. My wallet has been stolen mi billetera ha sido robada

b.  repaired – our – being – television – is. __________________

Music videos

British teenagers like to watch their music online. Watching music on video streaming sites on the internet is now more popular than listening to the radio with young British people. Popular videos can quickly become extremely popular internationally. Justin Bieber’s song ‘Baby’ was the most watched music video on YouTube until 2012. Then, PSY’s ‘Gangnam Style’ became the first video to get a billion views. Now, it’s quite common for videos to pass the billion mark. Things can change quickly on YouTube!

 

Downloading music

Downloading music is a popular choice for young Brits. The BPI (an organization which promotes the interests of British music) says that people in the UK prefer downloading singles rather than albums. In the UK you can download a single for about £1 and an album for around £10. Using file-sharing websites to download music is often illegal of course but some people still continue to get their music this way. Record companies and many musicians are very unhappy that people can listen to their music without paying for it.

 

Live music

The O2 in London is the second largest live music arena in Europe. There you can see world-famous bands such as One Direction, Justin Bieber, Scissor Sisters, Prince, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, and Take That. This massive stadium has space for 20,000 people. It also has 548 toilets! Tickets are not cheap. You can pay more than £50 to see a concert at The O2.

What about free live music? There are music festivals across Britain every year that are completely free of charge. Last year more than 150,000 people went to the Tramlines free music festival in Sheffield in the north of England. The two-day festival is held every July. Last year there were 900 performances in total including local bands as well as music from all over the world.

 

Music on TV

The X Factor is a British television music competition to find new talented singers. The 'X Factor' of the title refers to the difficult-to-define quality that makes a star. The show began in 2004 and is still popular. X Factor singers perform on a stage in front of the judges and a live audience. After the performance the audience at home can vote by phone for their favourite acts. Many winners then go on to get a UK number-one single. But you don’t have to win The X Factor to become famous: One Direction, the massively popular British boy band, competed in 2010 but they didn’t win, they came third!

 

What kind of music?

What are you and your friends listening to these days? Hip hop, dance, rock, heavy metal, rap, urban, reggae … individual tastes are very varied amongst British teenagers. If a type of music exists then there’s somebody who likes it. But a shopping Centre in Birmingham, central England, recently discovered what kind of music some local teenagers don’t like. This is what happened: shoppers and shop owners complained to the police about teenagers behaving badly in the shopping Centre. When a new sound system started playing Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, the antisocial behavior stopped. The young people causing problems had gone! Classical music was clearly not popular with these particular teenagers.

in this part, you are going to learn about graffities, the origins, kinds of them, and purposes. do you like them? ______________________________

GRAFFITI:

Graffiti has existed since people learned how to scratch symbols in rocks. Graffiti is any image, symbol or letters made on public property. While some people still make scratches in rocks, concrete or buildings, most graffiti is now made with spray paint or markers.

Is graffiti vandalism? Some graffiti is ugly. Some graffiti, called tagging, is just the name or initials of a person. It is often unreadable. The only purpose of tagging seems to be to quickly spray your initials on as many different surfaces as possible. Nobody likes tags except the taggers.

Is graffiti art? Some graffiti is artistic and takes time, skill and talent to create. It can be nice to look at. The purpose of some graffiti is to spread social messages or political messages. Some cities have places where walls or other surfaces can be used by people to create pieces of graffiti art.

THIRD PERIOD.  (3RD P)

       Third part.


In this section, we are going to learn about phrasal verbs. Do you identify verbs like: sit down, stand up, come in…? what others do you remember? Write on the blank  __________________________________________________________________________

Phrasal Verbs

 

A phrasal verb is a special kind of verb that consists of two (or three) parts. The first part is always a verb. The next part is a word such as across, after, away, back, down, in, into, off, on, out, over, or up. In a phrasal verb, this second part is called a particle.

 

Rule 1. A phrasal verb must have at least two parts: VERB + particle.

 

Rule 2. Phrasal verbs present a huge vocabulary challenge because most phrasal verbs are idioms. As such, the meaning of a phrasal verb as a unit is usually very different from the meanings of the individual verb and the particle: the meaning of come across is not equal to the meaning of come and across.

 

Rule 3. Like other common words, a phrasal verb can have more than one meaning: The airplane took off is not the same as Their business took off or I took off my shoes.

 

Let’s learn some of the most common verbs are used as phrasal verbs.

      In this final section, we are going to do an exercise about reading comprehension. Read a and answer the questions below. 


EARTHSHIPS
 

   When people hear about sustainable, off-the-grid living, they usually picture primitive homes divorced from the comforts of the 21st century. And rightfully so, as most sustainable solutions proposed until now have fit that description. Earthships, however, offer all of the comforts of modern homes and more in a sustainable way.

The Earthship was designed as a structure that would be free of the constraints of centralized utilities, on which most modern shelters rely. Earthships must be able to create their own utilities, and to utilize readily available sustainable materials.

Even the most arid of climates can provide enough water for daily use through only a rain-harvesting system. Water collected in this fashion is used for every household activity except flushing toilets. The water used for flushing toilets has been used at least once already: frequently it is filtered waste-water from sinks and showers, and described as "Greywater". That used ‘grey water’ is then pumped into the greenhouse to water the plants. After being cleaned by the plants, the water is pumped up into the bathrooms for use in the toilets. After being flushed, the now ‘black water’ is pumped to the exterior garden to give nutrients to non-edible plants.

Earthships are designed to collect and store their own energy from a variety of sources. The majority of electrical energy is harvested from the sun and wind. Photovoltaic panels and wind turbines located on or near the Earthship generate DC energy that is then stored in several types of deep-cycle batteries. The space in which the batteries are kept is usually a special, purpose-built room placed on the roof. Additional energy, if required, can be obtained from gasoline-powered generators or by integrating with the city grid.

Each Earthship is outfitted with one or two greenhouses that grow crops year-round, no matter what the climate is. The most brilliant piece of engineering in the Earthship is their ability to sustain comfortable temperatures year-round. This phenomenon results from the solar heat being absorbed and stored by ‘thermal mass’ — or tyres filled with dirt, which make up the structure of the Earthship. The thermal mass acts as a heat sink, releasing or absorbing heat when the interior cools and heats up, respectively.

Much of the materials used to build Earthships are recycled. For starters, the structure is built with used tyres filled with dirt! The walls (above the tyres) are created by placing plastic and glass bottles in concrete. Earthships are exorbitantly cheaper than conventional houses. The most basic Earthships cost as little as $7000 with the most glamorous models costing $70,000 and up, depending on how flashy you want to be with your decorating. With all of your basic needs provided for and NO bills each month, you’re free! You don’t have to work a job you hate just to survive. So you can focus your time on doing what you love, and bettering the world around you.

The most powerful thing Earthships do is force people to think differently about how they live. If housing can be this awesome, and be beneficial to the environment, then what else can we change? What else can become simpler, cheaper and better at the same time?
