Computers and Girls

The girls in this sixth grade class in East Palo Alto, California, all have the same access to computers as boys. But researchers say, by the time they get to high school, they are victims of what the researchers call a major new gender gap in technology.

Janice Weinman of the American Association of University Woman says, "Girls tend to be less comfortable than boys with the computer. They use it more for word processing rather than for problem solving, rather than to discover new ways in which to understand information."

After re-examining a thousand studies, the American Association of University women researchers found that girls make up only a small percentage of students in computer science classes. Girls consistently rate themselves significantly lower than boys in their ability and confidence in using computers. And they use computers less often than boys outside the classroom.

The instructor of this computer lab says he's already noticed some differences. Charles Cheadle of Cesar Chavez School says, "Boys are not so afraid they might do something that will harm the computer, whereas girls are afraid they might break it somehow."

Six years ago, the software company Purple Moon noticed that girls’ computer usage was falling behind boys. Karen Gould says, "The number one reason girls told us they don't like computer games is not because they're too violent, or too competitive. Girls just said they're incredibly boring."

Purple Moon says it found what girls want, characters they can relate to and story lines relative to what's going on in their own lives. Karen Gould of Purple Moon Software says, "What we definitely found from girls is there is no intrinsic reason why they wouldn't want to play on a computer; it was just a content thing."

The sponsor of the study says it all boils down to this, the technology gender gap that separates the girls from the boys must be closed if women are to compete effectively with men in the 21st century.

After reading the text above answer the following questions:

1.     In this sixth grade classroom, you would find…

a)     only boys allowed to use the computers

b)     only girls allowed to use the computers

c)      no computers in the classroom

d)     both boys and girls allowed to use the computers

2.     A computer program used for writing is called a _______ .

a)     calculator

b)     spreadsheet

c)      web page

d)     word processor

3.     By the time students are in high school,….

a)     many boys have lost interest in computers

b)     both boys and girls are very interested in computers

c)      computer science classes are filled with girls

d)     many girls have lost interest in computers

4.     Incredible: Girls said computers are incredibly boring.

a)     easy to believe

b)     ordinary

c)      difficult to believe

d)     funny

5.     Competitive: Girls say they don't like computer games not because they're too violent or too competitive.

a)     trying to do better than others

b)     working alone

c)      having no winner

d)     having killed

2. READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT AND DO THE EXERCISE BELOW, THEN TRANSLATE IT.

What Is The Solar System?

The Solar System is made up of all the planets that orbit our Sun. In addition to planets, the Solar System also consists of moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, and dust and gas.

Everything in the Solar System orbits or revolves around the Sun. The Sun contains around 98% of all the material in the Solar System. The larger an object is, the more gravity it has. Because the Sun is so large, its powerful gravity attracts all the other objects in the Solar System towards it. At the same time, these objects, which are moving very rapidly, try to fly away from the Sun, outward into the emptiness of outer space. The result of the planets trying to fly away, at the same time that the Sun is trying to pull them inward is that they become trapped half-way in between. Balanced between flying towards the Sun, and escaping into space, they spend eternity orbiting around their parent star.

After reading the text above, write if the statements are TRUE, FALSE or NOT GIVEN.

1)    The Solar System consists of Sun, planets, moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, and dust and gas. ____

2)    The Sun contains around 58% of all the material in the Solar System. ___

3)    The larger an object is, the less gravity it has. ___

      second part. 

see the video at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JixwKwIHvw 

1. In this section you are going to learn about the COUNTABLE and UNCOUNTABLE nouns. But first, we have to remember some important aspects to develop this topic.

Aprenderemos sobre los sustantivos contables e incontables y recordaremos algunos conceptos para su desarrollo.

a.       Remember: countable nouns are those which I can perceive with the most of the senses and I can count for example: chairs, students, houses, people; what other can you remember? make a list:  escribe algunos que recuerdes.

 

b.       Uncountable nouns are those which don`t have plural form. Like: money, rice…; can you remember other ones?   Make a list. Recuerdas otros, escríbelos.

 

Remember also the use of THERE IS / THERE ARE

 

TENSE /FORM	SINGULAR	PLURAL	MEANING
PRESENT	THERE IS	THERE ARE	HAY
PAST	THERE WAS	THERE WERE	HABÍA

 

EXAMPLE: There is some water in the glass.  Hay algo de agua en el vaso

                    There are some students out of class. hay algunos estudiantes fuera de clase

Podemos usar there is con sustantivos contables agregando A o AN (A cuando la palabra siguiente empieza por consonate y AN en vocal) (un – una)

There is an orange on the table: hay una naranja sobre la mesa            

Quantifiers: they are words or group or words that expresses quantity and they can be used as in countable as in uncountable nouns. (expresan cantidad y se usan con los sustantivos contables e incontables).

Some of the most useful quantifiers are:

QUANTIFIERS
FORM	COUNTABLE NOUNS	UNCOUNTABLE NOUNS
AFFIRMATIVE	A lot of books  (un montón) Many books      (muchos) Some books      (algunos) Few books         (pocos)	A lot of milk    (bastante) Some milk       (algo)  A little milk     (pocos)
NEGATIVE	A lot of books Many books any books         (ninguno/a) no books	A lot of milk much milk any milk no milk
INTERROGATIVE	A lot of books  Any books	A lot of milk any milk
	How many books are there?	How much milk is there?

Examples:

There are a lot of good musicians in the festival: hay una Buena cantidad de Buenos músicos        en el festival.

There was little milk in the fridge: había poca leche en la nevera.

There weren`t any dogs in the garden: no había ningún perro en el jardín.

There isn’t a lot of clean air at the room. No hay mucho aire puro en el aula.

How many C.Ds does she have? Cuantos cds tiene ella?

How much sugar do you want? Que tanto azúcar deseas?

Note: how many is used for question in countable nouns and how much is for uncountable.

 

Exercise: develop these activities in your notebooks and give them to the teacher.

In this section we are going to learn about the future.

Simple Future has two different forms in English: "will" and "be going to." Although the two forms can sometimes be used interchangeably, they often express two very different meanings. These different meanings might seem too abstract at first, but with time and practice, the differences will become clear. Both "will" and "be going to" refer to a specific time in the future. what will you do when you finish school? ________________________________________

USE 1 "Will" to Express a Voluntary Action

"Will" often suggests that a speaker will do something voluntarily. A voluntary action is one the speaker offers to do for someone else.

I will send you the information when I get it.

THIRD PERIOD.  (3^RD P)

       Third part.

In This section, we are going to learn about comparatives and superlatives. They are formed by adjectives. Write what you remember _____________________________________________

Comparative adjectives are used to compare differences between the two objects they modify (larger, smaller, faster, higher). They are used in sentences where two nouns are compared.

Superlative adjectives are used to describe an object which is at the upper or lower limit of a quality (the tallest, the smallest, the fastest, the highest). They are used in sentences where a subject is compared to a group of objects.

Here, you will find the explanation about their use. Mire y analice el cuadro detenidamente. 

Adjective form	Comparative	Superlative
Only one syllable, ending In E. example: wide, fine, cute.	Add – R:                                      wider, finer, cuter.	Add – ST                                  widest, finest, cutest.
Only one syllable, with one vowel and one consonant at the end. examples: hot, big, fat	Double the consonant, and add – ER:            hotter, bigger, fatter.	Double the consonant, and add – EST:                     hottest, biggest, fattest.
Only one syllable, with more than one vowel or more than one consonant at the end. examples: light, neat, fast	Add – ER:                                 lighter, neater, faster	Add EST: Lightest, neatest, fastest.
Two syllables, ending in Y. examples: Happy, silly, lonely.	Change Y to I, then add – ER Happier, sillier, lonelier	Change Y to I, then add – EST Happiest, silliest, loneliest.
Two syllables or more, not ending in Y. examples: modern, interesting, beautiful	Use MORE before the adjective. more modern, more interesting, more beautiful.	Use MOST before the adjective. most modern, most interesting, most beautiful.
There are some irregular adjectives, which have their own characteristics Good , bad,	Put the corresponding own words Better, worse	Put the corresponding own words Best, worst.

Como se puede observar en el cuadro, los comparativos y los superlativos se forman con los adjetivos. Para el caso de los comparativos hay que tener en cuenta las silabas que los componen, ya que de ello depende el que se agregue R – ER o IER si el adjetivo contiene una sílaba, o dos siempre y cuando termine en Y antecedido de vocal; en caso de tener dos silabas o más se debe escribir MORE antes del adjetivo. Para el caso de los superlativos, la situación es similar, sólo que esta vez se debe agregar  ST – EST o IEST si el adjetivo tiene una sílaba o anteponer la palabra MOST en caso de tener dos o más sílabas. Pero qué es un comparativo: es la identificación de diferencias entre dos elementos de la misma clase, ejemplo el clima de las ciudades, la altura de dos personas, etc.  Look at the example:

Which animal is bigger, and which is smaller, the mouse or the elephant?

Which of these animals is the tallest?  ¿Cuál es el más alto? 

the giraffe is the tallest of all the animals. “La jirafa es el más alto de todos los animales”.

en este caso, se tiene un grupo de animales y la idea es decir cual de todos es el mas alto.

Vocabulary: Travel, trip or journey? 

En inglés, hay diferentes palabras para referirse a los viajes: porque no es lo mismo un día de viaje que un fin de semana o un viaje más largo. ¿Cuál es la diferencia entre trip, travel y journey?

Si queremos preguntarle a alguien cómo le ha ido su viaje, hay que recordar que trip es un sustantivo, y travel es un verbo. Por lo tanto, nunca podremos decir:   How was your travel? 

Tenemos que usar la palabra trip How was your trip?

Esta confusión es bastante habitual entre los hispanohablantes.

Por su parte, journey, es un nombre que se refiere a un trayecto más corto. Expresa un desplazamiento desde un punto a otro. Podríamos preguntarle a alguien:

How was your journey? Y te estarías refiriendo, por ejemplo, a un trayecto en coche de Bogotá a Paipa. Es decir, le preguntas que qué tal el trayecto.

Si preguntamos: How was your trip? Se presupone que han pasado varios días en un destino.

Por su parte, la palabra voyage no se usa apenas en inglés y, si se usa, tiene una connotación relacionada con las aventuras.
