WEEK 5 (3): EJERCICIOS DE REPASO DE FUNCIONES Y ESTRUCTURAS

Dear Students!

Les propongo los siguientes ejercicios para que, junto con las actividades de lectura del anterior post, puedan preparar sin problemas el examen de la semana que viene:

1. Going to:
a) Primer ejercicio.
b) Segundo ejercicio.
c) Tercer ejercicio.

2. Will:
a) Going to vs. Will.
b) Buena página explicativa sobre el uso de MAYBE and PROBABLY en oraciones de futuro.

IMPORTANTE: Para evaluarles el trabajo, imprimar las respuestas a los ejercicios y las traen a clase.

Week 5 (2): Reading Activities

Dear Students!

Como lo más seguro es que tengan una actividad de comprensión de lectura en su examen, aquí les dejo unos ejercicios para que lo practiquen. Se trata de unos textos cortos en inglés, de nivel intermedio, acompañados de unas preguntas de opción múltiple con comprobación de si han acertado o no (para ello, pinchen donde pone "Grade me!", al final de la última pregunta).  Impriman los reportes de cada lectura, y tráiganlos para evaluarles yo su trabajo.

Como siempre, para buscar el vocabulario desconocido o difícil, recurran al diccionario online. IMPORTANTE: El día del examen no podrán usar diccionarios, por lo tanto estúdiense todo el vocabulario obligatorio, incluidos adverbios y verbos frasales. 

a) Biofuels and the Environment.
b) Airbus Crisis Over.
c) Ada Lovelace.

WEEK 5: March 9 and March 11

Dear students,

Week 5 is our first exam!

Para preparar bien el examen, les recuerdo las lecciones que hemos preparado hasta ahora:

1. Week 2: Unit 1, Lesson 1 "Life Goals" and Leson 2 "Going to Places".
2. Week 3: Unit 1, Lesson 3 "Favorites" and Unit 2, Lesson 2 "Disasters".
3. Week 4 (esta semana): Unit 2, Lesson 3 "If Wishes were Horses".

Sé que no hemos preparado la lección llamada "Disasters". Este material se los preparo y se los hago llegar cuanto antes.

En cuanto al resto, trabajen el blog y actividades de refuerzo que les enviaré lo más tardar el sábado.

Gracias, y buena suerte.
