Read carefully and pay attention to details. Then, answer the questions THE EVOLUTION OF AUTOMOBILES Adapted from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_automobile

 

17th and 18th centuries Around the 17th century, Ferdinand Verbiest, a member of a Jesuit mission in China, built the first steam-powered vehicle around 1672 as a toy for the Chinese Emperor. It was of small enough scale that it could not carry a driver but it was, quite possibly the first working steam-powered vehicle ('auto-mobile').

Ferdinand Verbiest's car.

  Steam-powered self-propelled vehicles large enough to transport people and cargo were first devised in the late 18th century. In 1784, William Murdoch built a working model of a steam carriage. The first automobile patent in the United States was granted to Oliver

Evans in 1789, and in 1801 Richard Trevithick was running a full-sized vehicle on the roads in Camborne, England.

19th century Many vehicles started to be built around the world with innovations as hand brakes, multispeed transmissions. Some were commercially successful in providing mass transit. However, trains and locomotives had most of the market and inventors and engineers shifted their efforts to improvements in railway locomotives. What some people define as the first "real" automobile was produced by French Amédée Bollée in 1873, who built self-propelled steam road vehicles to transport groups of passengers. The American George B. Selden filed for a patent on May 8, 1879. His application included not only the engine but its use in a 4-wheeled car. Karl Benz, the inventor of numerous carrelated technologies, received a German patent in 1886. 

20th and 21st centuries Steam-powered automobiles continued development all the way into the early 20th century, but the dissemination of petrol engines in the late 19th century marked the end of steam automobiles except as curiosities. In 1870, in Vienna, Austria, inventor Siegfried Marcus put a liquid-fuelled internal combustion engine on a simple handcart which made him the first man to propel a vehicle by means of gasoline. Today, this car is known as "the first Marcus car".

 "Marcus Car" is in Vienna's museum. The first company formed exclusively to build automobiles was Panhard et Levassor in France. Panhard was quickly followed by Peugeot two years later. By the start of the 20th century, the automobile industry was beginning to take off in Western Europe, especially in France, where 30,204 were produced in 1903. From 1905 through to the beginning of World War I, development of automobile technology was quick, due in part to hundreds of small manufacturers competing to gain the world's attention.  

Nowadays, cars are produced in massive scale and have many different characteritics depending on the company which produce them. Now, we have electric cars and hybrids that work on both, gasoline and electricity.  

And the future.... The car industry is evolving to offer more efficient , environment friendly and faster cars than ever. We will have to wait and see if someday cars will fly.

     

NOW, ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: 1. The first real automobile was created by  Respuesta Amédée Bollée

2. Who built a working model of a steam carriage in William Murdoch

1784?  Respuesta

. first steam pow ered vehicle

3. In 1672 the  Respuesta

 was invented.

4. Panhard and Peugeot are  Respuesta tw o important companies

5. The competition between small car companies was  Respuesta from 1905 to the beggining of World War I

PARTICIPLES It is not easy to understand what is a verb in participle. Here is a video that will help you understand this topic:   A participle is a word formed from a verb which can be used as an adjective. It changes its function and work as a different type of word. There are two types of participles: the present participle (ending ing) and the past participle(usually ending -ed, -d, -t, -en, or -n).   Here are some participles being used as adjectives:

Verb To rise

Present participle the rising sun

Past participle the risen sun

To boil

the boiling water

the boiled water

To break

the breaking news

the broken news

To cook

the cooking ham

the cooked ham

  Participle Phrases It is really common to see participles in participle phrases. A participle phrase also acts like an adjective. In the examples below, the participle phrases are shaded and the participles are in bold: The man carrying the bricks is my father. (The participle phrase carrying the bricks describes the the man.) She showed us a plate of scones crammed with cream. (The participle phrase crammed with cream describes the scones.)

Whistling the same tune as always, Ted touched the front of his cap with his forefinger as she dismounted. (The participle phrase Whistling the same tune as always describes Ted.) Stunned by the blow, Mike quickly gathered his senses and searched frantically for the pepper spray. (The participle phrase Stunned by the blow describes Mike.)   Here you are some extra examples:

PRESENT PERFECT We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the Present Perfect with specific time expressions such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that day, one day, etc. We CAN use the Present Perfect with unspecific expressions such as: ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, etc.

Examples:         

I have seen that movie twenty times. I think I have met him once before. There have been many earthquakes in California. People have traveled to the Moon. People have not traveled to Mars. Have you read the book yet? Nobody has ever climbed that mountain. A: Has there ever been a war in the United States? B: Yes, there has been a war in the United States.

Here you are the structure for the present perfect.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WEAR!!!! Read about this five easy steps and decide what to wear without having a breakdown:   1. Decide what mood you are in. The night before, you might feel like wearing a dress and super-high heels, but you might be too tired in the morning to carry on all day with painful shoes and a skin-tight outfit. If you're happy and active, wear something flirtatious, classy, and springy, like a floral A-line skirt over a brightly colored shirt and sandals. If you're tired and sleepy, wear your favorite comfortable oversized hoodie with yoga pants and flip-flops or skinny jeans and converse sneaks. 2. Know your body. Every item in your outfit should flatter you. Prepare for this in advance by making sure your entire wardrobe fits you well, so it is easy to choose outfits. If you do not want to attract attention to your mid-section, but you want to show off your legs, wear a high-waisted short. However, if you want to show off your midsection but hide your legs, wear a tight one-shouldered top with wide leg jeans. 3. Make sure you have timeless clothing items and basics in your closet. You should probably have all the rainbow colors of tees, v-neck shirts, long sleeve tees, and tank tops. As for bottoms, you should always have a classic jean skirt, light and dark jeans, and light and dark skinny jeans. With dresses, the little black dress is never out of style, and a signature long dress is a good idea. Flip-flops, sneakers, a boot, and a black heel is a shoe supply, and one necklace that matches everything is your best accessory. 4. Make sure you wear an outfit suitable for that day. If it's a bright and sunny day, don't wear a heavy sweater. You probably shouldn't wear a top in winter either. Although make sure that if you're working at an office, you shouldn't wear anything inappropriate or revealing. Unless you know exactly what is going on that day, you should probably make sure you have items with you that will go with your outfit and situation perfectly.

5. Be yourself. Straying away from your personal style might raise some eyebrows, so make sure you stick to what you would wear. It’s perfectly fine to change your look, just do it gradually, to avoid being accused of wearing a costume. However, being yourself doesn't mean you shouldn't take risks; risks set you apart from being boring and being spontaneously fashionable.    

NOW, ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: 1. When you are tired and sleepy, you should wear Respuesta

yoga pants

  2. A highg-waisted short atracks attention to your Respuesta

3. What is never out of style? Respuesta

legs

a black dress

  4. You shoudn't wear anything Respuesta

innapropriate

 at the office. 5. Is weather important to choose what you are going to wear? Respuesta yes, it is.

    

DECIDE IF EACH STATEMENT IS TRUE OR FALSE   1. Taking a risk is wrong. Respuesta

false

2. Skinny jeans are for people who are tired. Respuesta

true

3. Personal style is important when you are deciding what to wear. Respuesta true

4. Earrings are the best accessory. Respuesta

false

     5. You can't change your look. Respuesta

false

YOU ARE GOING TO LISTEN TO A GUIDE TALKING ABOUT A HISTORICAL BRIDGE. PLEASE, COMPLETE THE INFORMATION WITH THE CORRECT OPTION. YOU WILL HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE PRESENT PERFECT AND THE PAST SIMPLE. 

Haybridge Hall Welcome to Haybridge Hall and thank you for choosing to use our Guide-O-Matic to help you make the most out of your stay here. This guide is available in six other languages. Just ask at the ticket office. The general history of the house is as follows: Haybridge Hall was constructed at the end of the 15th Century and was originally called ow ned

Hawken Hall after the first family who Respuesta

 it. Jack Hawken was a local businessman who Respuesta

had become

 wealthy thanks to success with wool exports. The house Respuesta

has changed

 very little in the last 500 years with the exception of the Dawson Conservatory which can be found behind the ticket office. This was added in 1941 when the British Army was using Haybridge Hall as a headquarters for the 8th Army. Churchill is said to Respuesta have spent

 two nights at Haybridge in the main guest bedroom in the build up to the Normandy Landings in June 1944.

managed

The Hawken family onlyRespuesta

 to hold onto this fine property for around a decade before they had to sell up and the name Haybridge was used by the aristocrats who Respuesta

bought

 it. The Yardley family was not from this area, but from the north of England. They owned Haybridge for some 200 years and Respuesta

turned

the surrounding area into productive farmland where various crops, from wheat to potatoes, were grown. The Yardley family left Haybridge in 1722 and the property was left empty for some sixty years or so, falling, in the meantime, into quite a state of disrepair. It was during this period of neglect that the small church built on the grounds of the house in the early 16th Century, crumbled into ruins. Little is known about this church although one drawing of it survives. A local artist, Timothy Warsden, sketched the church in 1728, a mere six years after the moved

Yardley family Respuesta

 out. Haybridge Hall's destiny seemed to have been that of long-term neglect and eventual destruction but the renowned local author William Hoaten bought Haybridge in 1784 spent

and Respuesta

 three years and a considerable amount of money renovating the mansion. By this time, the amount of land belonging to the property had been considerably reduced and consisted of the few acres you see today. stayed

The Hoaten family Respuesta

 at Haybridge until the beginning of the Second World War when the British Army took over the property. After the war, the surviving members of the Hoaten family decided it would prove too costly to move back into Haybridge Hall and so the property came to be owned by the charitable organisation English Heritage, who runs it to this day. English Heritage undertook an extensive renovation operation in the 1970's, costing over ten million dollars. The aim of this work was to return Haybridge Hall to something of its glory days when it was owned by the Yardley family for two centuries. Specialist builders and craftsmen from all over the world were employed in an attempt to reconstruct the best possible example of a 17th Century country house. Haybridge Hall remains to this day one of the finest examples of British renaissance architecture and the furnishing within gives an authentic idea of what country life was like three to four centuries ago in this country. Last year, over 60,000 visitors took the same path through Haybridge Hall that you yourself are taking today.

You are going to read the summary for a new book in the market. Please, pay attention to details and then, answer the questions. HOUSES MADE OF WOOD AND LIGHT By Michele Dunkerley with Jane Hickie Taken from: http://utpress.utexas.edu/index.php/books/dunhou#sthash.APgw1WVp.dpuf

American architect Hank Schubart was regarded as a genius for finding the perfect site for a house and for integrating its design into the natural setting, so that his houses appear to be as native to the forest around them as the trees and rocks. Salt Spring Island, one of the Gulf Islands in British Columbia, Canada, offered him a place to create the kind of architecture that responded to its surroundings, and Schubart-designed homes populate the island. Built of wood and glass, surrounded with light, and oriented to views, they display characteristic features: random-width wood, exposed windows, rusticated stonework. Over time, Schubart’s homes on Salt Spring Island came to be considered uniquely Gulf Islands homes.   This inviting book offers the first introduction to the life and architecture of West Coast modernist Henry A. Schubart, Jr. (1916–1998). While still in his teens, Schubart persuaded Frank Lloyd Wright to accept him as a Taliesin Fellow, and his year’s apprenticeship in the master’s workshop taught him principles of designing in harmony with nature that he explored throughout the rest of his life. Michele Dunkerley traces Schubart’s career from his early practice in San Francisco at the noted firm Wurster, Bernardi & Emmons, to his successful firm with Howard Friedman, to his most lasting professional achievements on Salt Spring Island, where he became the de facto community architect, designing more than 230 residential, commercial, educational, and religious projects from many different materials, including metal, stone, glass, and wool. Drawing lessons from his mentors over his decades on the island, he forged an everyday architecture with his mastery of detail and inventiveness. In doing so, he helped define how the island could grow without losing its soul. Color photographs and site plans display Schubart’s remarkable homes and other commissions.

How to Avoid Getting a Divorce Your marriage looks like its over and your spouse has told you s/he wants a divorce. Perhaps s/he's even moved out. Maybe s/he's even having an affair. How do you stop fighting? How do you get him/her to change his/her mind and stay?

Step 1:  Act confident. Your spouse fell in love with a happy and balanced person whose world lit up every time s/he walked into the room. It's understandable you're unhappy that s/he's pulling away from you, but the more you cling, need, and desperately try to hang on, the more unhappy you are (since it's obvious by now that s/he's leaving you), and the less and less you are the person s/he once fell in love with. Be honest with yourself: Would you want to spend the rest of your life with someone who's been acting the way you have been acting lately? If you're friendly,attentive, and fun to be around, s/he will want to be around you. S/he will start to gravitate (slowly but surely) back to you. Try to be confident, but not arrogant, even if it is difficult for you. Step 2:  Empathize with your partner. Cater to their emotional needs first, then the material ones. Does you partner want to empty the bank account and buy a sports car? Say "I agree, it would be great fun to buy a flashy car. Let's go to the auto show this weekend, pretend we're filthy rich, and go for some test drives." Notice how you bypassed (for the time being) emptying the bank account and instead focused on his(her) feelings. This brings you closer together. Does your partner say you don't do enough chores around the house? Say "Yes, I agree, I don't do anywhere near as much work around the house as you do. I understand how upset that must make you feel at times." Notice how you bypassed (for the time being) actually doing the chores, and instead focused on her(his) feelings. Step 3:  Address the physical and material needs and desires after establishing a common ground. If you've gone to the car show and had a great time, speak to each other if your partner wants to spend money you don't have. If you begin to argue and your partner says "You never care about what I want!", turn away from the spending issue and speak with them about how you want them to be happy, and that's why you married them in the first place, but that in the long run, neither of you will profit from being in debt. Let them know that you would like to make them feel loved and appreciated in a different, more sensible way.   Step 4: Talk to your partner about your future. It does not help to pretend there is no problem. That will not make it disappear. Make time to speak with your partner openly. Prepare

yourself for being emotionally vulnerable and lay it all on the table.Communicate your feelings and your willingness to acknowledge theirs. If you love them and want them to give you a chance and stay with you, tell them that. Offer to have counseling sessions or anything else you (or they) think might help you. Step 5: Be honest and ask for honesty in return. Tell your partner that even if they are not in love with you at the moment, the least you owe each other is respect. Respect means being honest to each other. If you want to know and you think you can handle it emotionally, ask them whether they are having an affair. Before you ask, think about how you will respond to the possible answers. If they are having an affair, tell them how much that hurts you, even if it feels counterintuitive. Tell them that you care about fidelity and that you vowed to be faithful to each other. Ask them to end their affair if you want to rebuild a strong bond with each other.   Step 6: Be open to change. Agree to make changes in your routines or interaction if you feel it will help. Make clear that you will try your best, but it might take you some time to get used to them. Then really try your best and show that you are sincere. Ask the same in return. Step 7: Make up your mind to let it go if none of the above helps. If your partner is having an affair and unwilling to give it up, don't stay. You can only save your marriage together. If your partner simply does not want to, there is not much you can do, but you owe it to them and your relationship to genuinely try before throwing in the towel.  

NOW, ANSWER THE QUESTIONS: 1. What do you have to do to make that person want to be around you?  Respuesta you have to be fun, friendly and attentive

The emotional needs

2. What is more important?  Respuesta

3. According to the text, is money an issue to discuss when you're thinking in getting a No, it is more important to talk about feelings

divorce?  Respuesta

4. What do we do when we ask for honesty?  Respuesta Think about possible answ er your partner might give you

5. What happens when all this steps don't fix the situation?  Respuesta It's better to let go

6. To fight with your partner is a good way to avoid divorce.  Respuesta

true

7. If people change is possible to fix a relationship.  Respuesta

true

8. An affair is a reason to leave the marriage. Respuesta

Enunciado de la pregunta Let's read about weather and then, answer the questions

WEATHER BY MIKE RAYNER

It's hardly surprising that weather is a favourite topic for so many people around the world – it affects where we choose to live, what we wear, our moods, and perhaps even our national characteristics. A sunny day can relieve the deepest depression, while extreme weather can destroy homes and threaten lives. The effects of weather Palm trees bent double in hurricane force winds, cars stranded in snow drifts, people navigating small boats down flooded city streets – images we are all familiar with from news reports of severe weather spells. But many of the effects of the weather are less newsworthy.  ‘I’m feeling a bit under the weather’ is a common complaint in Britain, especially on Monday mornings, and it seems that weather really can be responsible for moods. Studies have shown that changeable weather can make it hard to concentrate, cloudy skies slow down reflexes, and high humidity with hot, dry winds makes many people irritable and snappy. Some suggest that the weather also leaves its mark on character, giving people from the same region similar temperaments, although it seems that economic, political and social factors are likely to have a much stronger effect than the weather.

  What causes changes in the weather? If you live in a place like Britain, where the weather seems to change daily if not hourly, you could be forgiven for thinking that the weather is random. In fact the weather is controlled by systems which move around areas of the globe. In the UK the weather depends on depressions, often called ‘lows’, and anticyclones, also known as ‘highs’. These systems start in the Atlantic Ocean, and make their way across the British Isles from the west to the east. Highs bring sunny weather, while lows bring rain and wind. The weather systems in tropical climates are very different from those in mid and high latitudes. Tropical storms develop from depressions, and often build into cyclones, violent storms featuring hurricanes and torrential rain. In modern times, human activity seems to be altering weather patterns. Gases produced by heavy industry change the temperature of the Earth’s surface, and affect cloud formation. Some researchers say that factories in Europe and North America may have been one of the causes of the droughts in Africa in the 1980s. Extreme weather Although people in Britain often moan about the weather, we should spare a thought for the inhabitants of parts of the world where extreme weather regularly wreaks havoc on the environment and population. Sandstorms, tornadoes, blizzards and flash floods regularly kill thousands of people and leave many others homeless.

 

 

While most of us try to avoid extreme weather, some adventurous souls actively seek out places where extreme weather conditions exist. Sports such as surfing, kiteboarding, iceclimbing and white-water rafting are becoming increasingly popular with people seeking relief from the monotony of daily routine.  Extreme sports are about exhilaration, skill and danger, and often harness the weather to provide adrenaline addicts with their kicks. Even more extraordinary are storm-chasers – weather enthusiasts who risk their lives following tornadoes and thunderstorms at high speed to witness the damage they cause at close hand.

  NOW, ANSWER THE QUESTIONS: No, only some of them are bad

1. Are all the effects of weather bad?  Respuesta

Yes, it can
