Bloque1 ingles4

Generalintroduction

This Book is designed based in the communicative approach, as a complement for the learning process in an active English class. It contains meaningful, lively, and contextualized suggestions for activities in and out the classroom, for giving the students a guide to use the language as much as they can according to their own interests and circumstances.

Grammar and new vocabulary is always presented in a normal conversation or through short, authentic texts which are the basis for a wider oral practice and written exercises; so, gradually with the communicative activities, students become aware of the use of structures and vocabulary integrating them to their whole English baggage. The selected fragments of authentic texts have information about actual subjects and modern technology, giving the students the possibility to know more about the theme by looking for it in the web.

Pairs and team-work is fundamental to provide both exposure and consistent language practice, as well as participate honestly in the different types of evaluation. This requires the student to organize, imagine, create, act, propose and be active, reflexive and critical.

Following the dgb Syllabus, the book is formed by four sections with three lessons each one. The lesson is not thought to fulfill in the time of a single class. It can be used for teacher and students according to their lessons plans and projects of class.

The four sections are:

BLOCK 1 Describe a behavior in an hypothetic situation

BLOCK 2 Describe life experiences

BLOCK 3 Talk about likes and dislikes

BLOCK 4 Describe people, activities and objects

Generalintroduction

The authors know that didactic material is only a help for teachers and students, so, they wish this book be a useful item in the learning process. If you want to contact them, you just go to:

Para recordar, afirmar y utilizar lo que has practicado en los semestres anteriores, iniciaremos las actividades de este curso con un ejercicio de comprensión de texto en el cual te basarás para responder los cuestionamientos e iniciar conversaciones orales con tu equipo de trabajo. Es importante señalar que aquello que no recuerdes lo puedes preguntar con la mayor franqueza, ya sea a tus compañeros o al maestro. Durante el transcurso del bloque practicarás también la manera de decir lo que harías si estuvieras en algunas situaciones hipotéticas; es decir, conocerás y usarás la estructura que en inglés se conoce como Condicional tipo 2 o Condicional Irreal.

Como un proyecto de trabajo para este bloque, realizarás en equipo una propuesta para el mejoramiento de tu localidad, la cual presentarán ante el grupo, explicando la razón por la que piensan que esos cambios serían positivos. Las formas de elaboración y presentación del proyecto se acordarán con el maestro.

Before reading, answer this question:

Do you know who Shakira is? If not, comment with your classmates and your teacher.

Fragment of an interview with Shakira

Shakira, the graceful one, is a prodigy who wrote her first song at age eight, a Colombian girl who speaks three languages and loves only in Spanish.

She’s a perfectionist who spends hours in the studio, she needs to be close the nature but her passion is the crackle of electric guitars. She is the blush ofyouth,but she is farolder thanherage.Asher countrymanNobelPrizewinning author Garcia Marquez wrote: “Shakira’s music has a personal stamp that doesn`t look like anyone else’s and no one can sing or dance like her at whatever age with such an innocent sensuality, one that seems to be of her own invention”.

But Shakira –born Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll– is not only the famous pop artist, she also has a very important interest. She is investing her own financial resources in the goal of educating impoverished children by building schools and community centers in some of the poorest neighborhoods in her native Colombia, and convincing other Latin American leaders in invest in earlychildhood education.

Lost BlackBerry found & returned – Imhonest Story #1

On 10/29, I accidentally left my Blackberry in the men’s roomoftheRenaissanceHotelinCharlotte,NC.Therewasno sign of it when I returned, and no one had handed it on tothefrontdesk.WhenIarrivedhome,3hourslater,Ihadan e-mail from “Imhonest.com”, that someone found it and called them. In seven days I had my BlackBerry back. Two things should be noted from this situation. Firstly, I subscribed to the “Imhonest.com service“ and attached the label to my phone because I truly believe that most people are honest, and would turn it if I misplaced it. Secondly, the cost of this service is so low it is worth the risk of testing someone’s honesty. Fortunately for me, both cases proved to be true.

First idea of the atom

Some 2,400 years ago, the Greek philosophers Democritus and Leucippus first proposed the idea of the atom. They suggested that if you slice an item, such as a loaf of bread, in half, and then in half again and again until you could cut it no longer, then you would reach the ultimate building block. They called it an atom.

Today we know that an atom is even more infinitesimal than that. To grasp the scale of the atom, look at the dot in letter i. If you magnify this dot a million times through an electron microscope, you will see an array of a million ink molecules. If you could somehow blow up this image a million times, you would see the fuzzyimageofthelargestatoms.Andastinyasatomsare,theyare composed of still tinier subatomic particles.

CarAccidentStatistics

( ) More than 3 million people get injured due to car accidents every year, with more than 2 million of these injuries being permanent. There are more than 40,000 deaths due to car accidents every year. The majority of car accident victims are the drivers, then the passengers of the car, followed by pedestrian, and lastly cyclists. In more than half of car accident fatalities, the deceased were not wearing their seat belts at the time of the crash.

( ) These car accident statistics are sad enough on their own, the saddest part being that they could be avoided if the drivers put more attention to driving and less to other activities. The majority of car accidents could be avoided if only the drivers drove more responsibly.
