With what purpose? The purpose of this unit is to provide you with the tools to explain others about what is happening in the present moment, to talk about clothes, weather, anecdotes, pastimes, customs, food, health and wellbeing. You’ll be able to talk about the information needed on past experiences, and to say who did what and to whom. Also you’ll be able to talk about different kinds of celebrations, like the ones that celebrated in your family, community or nation. You will be capable to do all this in a spoken and in a written way. What am I going to learn? In this unit you will learn to share information with the people around you about facts of the present and the past. You will also develop listening, speaking, reading and writing skills to speak in the present and past. You’ll reinforce the use of the Wh-questions, as they are very common in daily English. What to wear… (Qué usar –vestir-) Present progressive… (Presente progresivo o presente continuo) El presente progresivo o presente continuo indica que las acciones están pasando en el presente. También se le conoce como presente continuo. Usamos el presente progresivo para hablar de cosas que están pasando en el momento. Por ejemplo: I´m studying… (Yo estoy estudiando) You´re working… (Tú estás trabajando) She´s playing the guitar… (Ella está tocando la guitarra) El presente progresivo se forma con la forma presente del verbo “to be” (am, is, are) + el verbo con terminación “ing”. También se acompaña de alguna o algunas palabras que indican que algo está sucediendo en el presente como “today” (hoy) y “now” (ahora). A estas palabras se les conoce como expresiones de tiempo. Reglas para agregar ing a un verbo Ejemplos Cuando el verbo termina en –e, se elimina la -e y se agrega -ing make - making Cuando el verbo es de una sola sílaba y termina en vocal y consonante, se duplica la última consonante y luego se agrega – run - running ing. Cuando el verbo termina en –y, sólo se agrega –ing. lay - laying Cuando el verbo termina en –ie, cambia la terminación por –y, die - dying entonces se agrega –ing. En todos los demás casos, sólo se agrega -ing talk - talking ACTIVIDAD: ✓ Realiza la actividad 2 sobtre el uso verbos en presente progresivo usando ing de las Pags. 25 y 26 del libro de texto, corrobora tus respuestas en el Apéndice 1.

Alex: Professor Gomez, our sports teacher, once asked me to be part of the soccer team because he was sure I was a very good player.

My great-grandfather Yesterday Raul came back home at 5 o‘clock and saw his mother cleaning a drawer. Many things were on the table; papers, clothes and some books. Suddenly one book caught his attention. In fact, it was not exactly a book. It was a very old family album.

M12. Mi vida en otra lengua 16

He took the album and looked through it. It was a big surprise for him because it was the first time he met his forefathers. When he opened it, he felt excited and astonished. All the photos he looked at were in black and white, with strange people in different places. In one, he saw two men in the middle of a field, one taller than the other. One of them was his grandfather. In the photo, his grandfather was younger than when Raul met him as senior adult. In another he saw children playing in a yard: one girl and two boys. When he turned the page one photo caught his attention. This photograph was older than the other. Yes, no doubt, the man in the photo was his great grand-father dressed with his soldier costume, perfectly combed with a big black mustache standing next to his great grand-mother, a beautiful woman wearing a long dress without make-up and with long black hair. She looked like a young adult and was carrying a baby in her arms. Raul was in front of his greatgrandparents! Raul remembered that when he was a child and before going to bed, his mother told him anecdotes about his greatgrandfather. He participated in the Mexican Revolution and that made Raul’s mother feel very proud of him and her family. From that moment on, Raul also felt proud of his grandfather. Answer the next questions: (contesta las siguientes preguntas) 1. What did Raul find? 2. Where did he find it? 3. How did he feel about it? 4. When did his mother tell him anecdotes? 5. Who was his great-grandfather? Adjectives: comparatives and superlatives. (Adjetivos: comparativos y superlativos) We use comparative adjectives when we compare two things, persons or ideas. After comparatives we add -er ending to the adjective. Examples: 1. The blouse is too large. I need a smaller size. (La blusa es muy larga. Necesito una talla más chica.) 2. Today you woke up earlier than yesterday. (Hoy te levantaste más temprano que ayer.) Usamos adjetivos comparativos para (como su nombre lo dice) comparar dos cosas, personas o ideas. Ejemplos: We can also use more or it’s opposite less. The comparative uses the word than to establish the link between the two things that are being compared, but sometimes you don’t need to write it because you can understand it with the information you are given. Example: Don’t go by airplane. It’s more expensive than train. (Between airplane and train, train costs less money than the airplane.) Para formar un comparativo agregamos la terminación –er al final del adjetivo. También podemos utilizar las palabras “more… than” (más… que) o su opuesto “less… than” (menos… que). Ejemplo: No vayas en avión. Es más caro que el tren. (Entre avión y tren, el tren cuesta menos dinero que el avión).

It involved many nations —including all of the great powers— forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, with more than 100 million people serving in military units. In a state of “total war”, the major participants placed their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities at the service of the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by significant events involving the mass death of civilians, including the Holocaust and the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare, it resulted in 50 million to over 70 million fatalities. These deaths make the war the deadliest conflict in human history. Even when President Lazaro Cardenas declared Mexico neutral during World War II, President Manuel Avila Camacho allied Mexican troops, known as Squadron 201, with the United States.

Simple future form Read the following information and answer the questions: Fortune cookies A fortune cookie is a crisp cookie usually made from flour, sugar, vanilla, and oil with a “fortune” wrapped inside. A “fortune” is a piece of paper with words of wisdom or a vague prophecy of a particular event that might occur in your future. The message inside may also include a Chinese phrase with translation or a list of lucky numbers used by some as lottery numbers, some of which have become actual winner numbers. Some 3 billion fortune cookies are made each year, almost all of them in the United States. But the crisp cookies wrapped around enigmatic sayings have spread around the world. A surprisingly high number of winning tickets in Brazil’s national lottery in 2004 were traced to lucky numbers from fortune cookies distributed by a Chinese restaurant chain called Chinatown. Now the researcher Yasuko Nakamachi in Japan believes she can explain the origin of fortune cookies. Her first pieces of evidence are the generations-old small family bakeries making obscure fortune cookie-shaped crackers by hand near a temple outside Kyoto. She has also turned up many references to the cookies in Japanese literature and history, including an 1878 image of a man making them in a bakery decades before the first reports of American fortune cookies. Fortune cookies are often served as a dessert in Chinese restaurants, but are absent in China. The exact provenance of fortune cookies is unclear, though various immigrant groups in the United States claim to have popularized them in the early 20th century, basing their recipe on a traditional Japanese cracker. Fortune cookies have been summarized as being introduced by the Japanese and popularized by the Chinese.

guests and will write the invitations. Then she will plan the games and the refreshments. So Maria’s parents are always asking her about what she is going to study, where she is going to do it, what kind of job she wants, and they never seem to stop! The words in bold correspond to another way of talking about the future. The form: Be + going to + verb in present simple is probably the most common way to express future actions and it is frequently used when you’re talking about intentions. An intention is a plan in the future that you have already thought about. Example: She is going to work in a hospital when she gets her degree.

The achievement of a goal depends on the situation you are living in, on if it’s something possible to do or have or if it is something almost impossible to commit, but most of all this things depends on the courage, will and attitude to do it. There is no rule of time in achieving a goal, but more or less this is the way a short, medium and long-term purpose can be done. A short-term can be done in fewer than two months. A medium term goal can take from three months to three years to achieve. Medium term goals can be achieved if you have worked and done short term ones. A long-term goal requires three or more years to get it. This goal can be reached with the work and dedication of medium and short-term goals. Ana’s purpose depends on how much she earns in her job, how much she saves every month and how much the computer, that she wants, costs. If she considers these things and is constant and careful, she will feel a great satisfaction at the end if she
