2.    Read the following text. Then answer the questions below.

As prices and building costs keep rising, the ‘do-it-yourself’ (DIY) trend in the U.S. continues to grow.
‘We needed furniture for our living room,’ says John Ross, ‘and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.’ John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. ‘I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by my-self.’
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a ‘do-it-yourselfer’, you can go to Diy classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.

3.    Read the following text. Then complete the activities below.

People smoke for a variety of reasons: because they are shy, nervous or don’t feel at ease in society, to appear sophisticated and older, to be part of a group. The truth is that smoking doesn’t solve these problems; it only masks and adds to them as 15-year-old Jeanette found out too late:
            «I can remember very clearly the day I started smoking. I was 12 and my parents had let me go to a Christmas party with my friend Cath. I was extremely shy and at the beginning I just sat in a corner of the room. However, Cath was quite different. She looked about 16 and acted in a very sophisticated way. After we had been at the party for about half an hour, Cath came over to me with Roger and Graig from the year above us at school. We talked for a while. Then Roger suggested we went outside for some fresh air.
            Once we were outside, Roger took a pack of cigarettes and lit one. The same happened with Graig and Cath. I was shocked because I knew that Cath had never smoked before. Roger asked me if I wanted a cigarette and I said: «No, I don’t smoke. » The boys started laughing saying that only kids didn’t smoke and asking me how old I was. I was so embarrassed that it was hard to say «no». And that’s how I started.
            It became a habit after that. I thought smoking was a sign of being grown-up and that anyone who didn’t smoke was a baby. I’m ashamed to admit I pressured many of my friends to begin smoking exactly as I had been influenced to do it.
            As I was shy, I used smoking as a cover for it. Whenever I felt anxious I smoked a cigarette. Now, three years later, I smoke about 20 cigarettes a day and I stink of smoke. I have a bad cough and I’d love to stop, not only because I know I’m harming myself, but also because it is costing me a fortune. To tell the truth, I don’t even like smoking. I hate it but I simply can’t stop. »

Cough – send out air from the lungs violently and noisily

A Surgeon Again

On September 19, 1985, Dr. Francisco Bucio was getting dressed for work. His roommate Angel Alcantara, was combing his hair. Both Francisco and Angel were doctors in Mexico City. They lived and worked together on the fourth floor of General Hospital. Suddenly the hospital began to shake. “Earthquake!” Francisco said. The hospital shook and shook. Then the hospital collapsed. Francisco and Angel fell four floors to the ground below. Three floors of the hospital fell on top of them. The doctors were trapped under a mountain of steel and concrete.
            “Angel!” Francisco called to his friend. Angel moaned in pain. Then he was silent. Francisco knew that his friend was dead.
            Francisco wanted to cry because Angel was dead. But he told himself, “Keep calm.” Then he realized that his right hand was hurt. “Oh no, oh no,” Francisco cried. “I can’t lose my right hand. My right hand is my future.” 
            For the next four days Francisco was trapped under the hospital. Every twelve hours Angel’s watch beeped exactly at 7:30. “Angel’s watch helped me,” Francisco said. “I knew what day it was. And I wondered about Mexico City.”
            On the third day Francisco became very thirsty. He dreamed of rivers with no water. He dreamed of ships on dry land.
            Then, on the fourth day, rescue workers found Francisco. His right hand was trapped under concrete. The rescue workers wanted to cut off Francisco’s hand. Francisco’s brothers said “No!” 
            When rescue workers carried Francisco out of the hospital, he still had his hand. But four fingers were badly crushed. Doctors had to cut off all four fingers on Francisco’s right hand. Only his thumb remained. During the next months Francisco had five operations on his hand. His hand looked better, but it didn’t work well. Francisco wanted to be a surgeon. But he needed his right hand to operate on patients.
            Then Francisco heard about a surgeon who was an expert in hand surgery. Six months after the earthquake, the surgeon operated on Francisco. He cut off two of Francisco’s toes and sewed the toes on Francisco’s hand. The toes became new fingers for Francisco, and the new fingers worked well. Francisco could operate on patients. Dr. Francisco Bucio was a surgeon again.
            “Now I know how patients feel,” Dr. Bucio said. “I can sympathize and understand. I had six operations, and so much pain, too much pain. Sometimes people joke. They say I’m the surgeon who operates with his feet. OK, my hand isn’t beautiful, but I like it. It works, and I thank to God for that everyday” 





FIRST PERIOD.  (1ST P)
(Third part)


In this section, we are going to learn about the progressive tenses. Do you remember something of it? ___________________________________________________________

En el siguiente cuadro resumen identificará la manera de como los tiempos progresivos actúan en sus formas afirmativas, negativas e interrogativa.







Como se puede observar los tiempos progresivos se emplean para describir acciones continuas o que se llevan a cabo al instante (presente); o que se realizaron en algún momento del pasado y no se determinó su inicio ni su final (pasado), necesitan del verbo TO BE, el cual actúa como verbo auxiliar con el significado de ESTAR; es así como para el presente la forma es AM- IS – ARE y para el pasado es WAS y WERE. El siguiente cuadro ilustra mejor la manera como se emplean según el tiempo verbal.

PRESENT

PAST

FUTURE

I   AM

You / we / they ARE

You – we – they    WERE

Para el futuro progresivo con todos los sujetos se aplica la misma forma

He / she / it    IS

I – he – she – it     WAS

I – he – she – it            WILL BE

You – we – they           

 

Cabe resaltar que es necesario el uso de un verbo principal terminado en ING ejemplo: PLAY = PLAYING; WORK = WORKING; DANCE = DANCING el cual es llamado “gerundio” para que se forme una oración. We were dancing last night. Estuvimos bailando anoche. They are playing basketball at the arena. Estan jugando baloncesto en el coliseo.

SECOND PERIOD.  (2ND P) 


See the video about relative clauses at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz_nwx9IeZc

1.       Relative pronouns: we use relative pronouns to give additional information about something or someone. The most commons are: WHO and THAT  are used for people; WHICH is used for animals and things; WHOSE is used for possession of people animals or things; WHOM is used for people in non-defining clauses.

Examples:

Who: I told you about the lady who lives next door. Te hablé de la chica que vive al lado

That: this is the smart watch that I want. Este es el reloj inteligente que quiero.

Which: this is the laptop which I bought.  Este es el portátil que compré.

Whose:  do you know the girl whose father is a doctor? ¿Conoces a la chica cuyo padre es doctor?

Whom: I was invited by the teacher whom was at the meeting. Fui invitado por el profesor que estaba en la reunión.

a.    Cross out the incorrect words.


Example: a mobile phone which / who can send e-mails
a)       a computer that / what knows your voice
b)      the man which / who lives next door
c)       the girl that / which always sits next to me
d)      the bus that / who I take to get to school
e)      a meal which / who you can cook easily at home



b.       Join the pair of sentences, using which, that or who

a. I’ve got a brother. He lives in Scotland.     I’ve got a brother who lives in Scotland.
b. Henry has got a hat. It is red, green and blue.  ______________________________
c. Claire is a writer. She is very famous.  _____________________________________
d. It is a salad. It tastes delicious.  __________________________________________
e. This is a picture. It was painted by Joseph Turner.  ___________________________
f. He is a teacher. He is very popular.  _______________________________________
g. It’s a machine. It makes pasta.  __________________________________________

c. Read this story and underline the relative clauses.
Here is a true story teaching us guard our secrets carefully. It`s about a man whose house front collapsed one day. As a result, his secrets were embarrassingly revealed for all the world to see. Collin Campbell, who lives in the English Midlands, wasn`t very pleased when a lorry rolled down a hill and crashed into his house. The damage it did was spectacular. The front of the house collapsed, which was bad enough in itself. Even worse, a life-sized model of Elvis Presley, which was standing in an upstairs bedroom, became visible to passers-by. Collin said “it was something I bought on impulse. I didn`t want anyone to see him. Now people are laughing at me. In future I’ll always be the man buying Elvis Presley”.

2.  Read the following topics related with natural disasters, then translate.
A. Thunder storms: every Thunderstorm produces lightning. There is wet thunder and dry thunder, the difference being whether or not rain is produced. Warm humid conditions favor thunderstorms. Only 10% of thunderstorms are classified as severe.  Your chance of being struck by lightning is 1 in 600.000.
B. Earthquakes: they are caused by the release of built up pressure caused by the shifting of tectonic plates. Earthquekes usually occur on fault lines, or areas where tectonic plates meet. The size of an earthquake is measured using the logarithmic based Richter scale.
C. Hurricanes: a hurricane is a tropical storm with winds over 74mph. hurricanes occupy the most intense level of the three levels of tropical storms. Hurricanes rotate or circulate counter – clockwise in the northern hemisphere. Hurricanes can only occur over the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean sea, and gulf of Mexico.
D. landslides: landslides are the movement of land down a slope by gravity. Landslides are mother nature’s way of redistributing land. They can be triggered by rain, floods, and earthquakes as well as man- made factors such as slope grading or mining. Landslides have the potential to happen anywhere a steep slope is present.
E. tornados: a tornado is defined as a violently rotating column of air extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. Tornados are found in almost every part of the world. Tornados are most common in the United States, just east of the Rocky Mountains in an area called Tornado Ally. Waterspouts are weak tornados over water and can move inland and become tornados.  
F volcanoes: Volcanoes are lava filled mountains that erupt when the pressure becomes to great for them to hold it inside. The contents that a volcano spews forth is called magma when it’s below the surface and lava once it reaches the surface. Only a fraction of the world’s ae actually on land, the rest are on the ocean floor. Indonesia has the most volcanoes of all the countries in the world.

Let’s review something about them. Review is “repasar”

 

La forma positive es el adjetivo en su forma base ex: tall: alto; beautiful: linda

La forma comparativa es colocar dos elementos en comparación ex: Carlos is taller tan Juan.

La forma superlativa representa el grado mayor de los adjetivos que tienen como finalidad exagerar las bondades o cualidades de una persona, objeto u ambiente. Ex: Carlos is the tallest of the class.

Existen formas cortas y largas de los adjetivos

In the following chart you will find the rules for the superlative form. Copy in your notebook.


  

 Para los adjetivos largos sólo hay que anteponer la palabra MOST, Ex: handsome             the most handsome.  El más simpático

1.    In this section we are going to learn about five basic structures thar are really important to create sentences.

What do you remember about how to create a sentence? Write what you know.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________




As As you can see, there are five basic structures which you may create sentences. Let’s learn about them. 

A.      Subject + verb: estructura básica, solo se requiere un sujeto y un verbo sin importar el

tiempo verbal.  Example: my dad talked.  Mi papá habló. En este caso está en pasado.

                                  S         V

B.      Subject + verb + object: Una de las estructuras más empleadas en inglés. Necesita de

un sujeto, un verbo en cualquier tiempo verbal y un complemento objeto. 

Example: the students are learning by WhatsApp. El profesor está enseñando vía WhatsApp.

                         S                   V                     O            en este caso está en presente progresivo.

 

C.      Subject + verb + adjective: estructura que requiere de un sujeto, un verbo en cualquier tiempo verbal y un adjetivo al final.

Example: my school is beautiful. Mi colegio es hermoso.

                       S          V     ADJ      En este caso se empleó el verbo TO BE en presente.

So, she decided to wait outside and stood patiently in the warm evening sunshine. The restaurant quickly filled up with customers, but none of them were Katia’s friends. Where are they? She thought. At half past seven she was still waiting, so she called her best friend Isa. Why doesn’t she answer her phone? Katia asked herself. Then she called Jonty, Alex and Yoko, but they didn’t answer either. What’s going on? She wondered.  At 8 o’clock Katia went home. Her friends had forgotten her birthday and she felt lonely and miserable. She opened the front door and walked into the dark house. The living room door was closed. How strange, she thought because she always left it open. Nervously, she opened the door.  Suddenly the lights went on and all her friends jumped up and shouted surprise! So, they hadn’t forgotten and, in the end, it was the best birthday ever.

We had a beautiful hotel room in the Latin Quarter, and it wasn’t even expensive. We had a balcony with a wonderful view.

We visited many famous tourist places. My favorite was the Louvre, a well-known museum. I was always interested in art, so that was a special treat for me. The museum is so huge, you could spend weeks there. Henry got tired walking around the museum and said “Enough! I need to take a break and rest.”

We took lots of breaks and sat in cafes along the river Seine. The French food we ate was delicious. The wines were tasty, too. Steve’s favorite part of the vacation was the hotel breakfast. He said he would be happy if he could eat croissants like those forever. We had so much fun that we’re already talking about our next vacation!

THIRD PERIOD.  (3RD P)

       Second part.

In this section, we are going to learn about the use of the verbs DO – GO – PLAY. do you remember their meaning? write them _______________________________________

There are three verbs that we collocate with sports and other free time activities: go, do and play, but they are not interchangeable:

·                     Go is used with activities and sports that end in -ing. The verb go here implies that we go somewhere to practice this sport: go swimming. (para actividades que terminan en “ING” y que implican desplazamiento.)

·                     Do is used with recreational activities and with individual, non-team sports or sports in which a ball is not used, like martial arts, for example: do a crossword puzzle, do athletics, do karate. (Para actividades recreativas e individuales)

·                     Play is generally used with team sports and those sports that need a ball or similar object (puck, disc, shuttlecock...). Also, those activities in which two people or teams compete against each other: play football, play poker, play chess. (para deportes en conjunto, competencia, o que necesiten un elemento o implemento)

 

In this table there is a list of sports and activities that collocate with these verbs:

Some exceptions to the rules: excepciones:

 

·                     You use do with three activities that end in -ingdo boxing, do body-building and do weight-lifting because they don't imply moving along as the other activities ending in -ing.

 

·                     Golf: if there is an idea of competition, you use the verb play. However, you can say go golfing if you do it for pleasure: Tiger Woods plays golf. We'll go golfing at the weekend. 

 

Exercises: you have to develop these activities and send them to my email: wepaqi@gmail.com; to my WhatsApp: 3105871081 or let the paper at school.

THIRD PERIOD.  (3RD P)

       Third part.


In this section we are going to learn about some useful expressions that can be used in different situations. Could you remember some? _____________________________________________

BE ABLE TO “ser capaz de”

 

It is simply the verb be plus an adjective (able) followed by the infinitive. We look at be able to here because we sometimes use it instead of can and could. We use be able to: to talk about ability

 

     The basic structure for be able to is:

 

subject

main verb
be

adjective
able

to-infinitive

+

I

am

able

to drive.

-

She – he - it

is not      (isn’t)

able

to drive.

?

Are

you – we – they

able

to drive?

?

Is

He – she – it

 able

To drive?

Notice that be able to is possible in all tenses, for example:

 

  • I was able to drive...   I will be able to drive...   I have been able to drive...

Notice too that be able to has an infinitive form:

  • I would like to be able to speak Chinese.

Be able to is NOT a modal auxiliary verb. We include it here for convenience, because it is often used like "can" and "could", which are modal auxiliary verbs.

Be able to for ability

"Able" is an adjective meaning: having the power, skill or means to do something. If we say "I am able to swim", it is like saying "I can swim". We sometimes use be able to instead of "can" or "could" for ability. Be able to is possible in all tenses - but "can" is possible only in the present and "could" is possible only in the past for ability. In addition, "can" and "could" have no infinitive form. So, we use be able to when we want to use other tenses or the infinitive. Look at these examples:

  • I have been able to swim since I was five. (present perfect)
  • You will be able to speak perfect English very soon. (future simple)
  • I would like to be able to fly an airplane. (infinitive)

USED TO:

We use “used to” for talking about states or actions that were true or happened in the past, but are no true or do not happen now.

I used to play hide and seek when I was a child “solía jugar a las escondidas cuando era niño”.


En resumen, el usar “be able to” (ser capaz de) es sinónimo de “can” o “could” (poder); en consecuencia, es la habilidad que se posee para realizar alguna actividad. para ello se requiere del verbo TO BE conjugado en presente junto con el adjetivo “able”. este se puede conjugar en distintos tiempos verbales. Para el caso de “used to” este se emplea para situaciones en pasado que se acostumbraban a realizar pero que ya no se hacen.
