79

EXPRESSIVE PURPOSE
That I make short descriptions about wild animals using action words
and adjectives in an oral way

EVALUACIÓN: INDICADOR O INDICADORES DE DESEMPEÑO:

• Mantiene una conversación simple en inglés.

An adjective describes how something 'is'. For this reason, we usually use the
verb 'to be' when using adjectives. Adjectives are used to describe nouns.
Example: He is a good doctor.
Rule: Adjectives describe nouns. The adjective is always invariable.
Example: beautiful trees, they are happy
Be careful!
• Adjectives don't have a singular and plural form OR a masculine, feminine
and neutral form.
• Adjectives are always the same! Never add a final -s to an adjective.
• Adjectives can also be placed at the end of a sentence if they describe the
subject of a sentence. Example: My doctor is excellent.

READ THE FOLLOWING ADJECTIVES. USE THE DICTIONARY TO DEFINE THEM

WORKSHOP Nº31

Topic:Telling short stories with images about future plans.

Time: Week: Month to 2012 Hours: 12

WARM UP!

Color the following picture:

 128

EXPRESSIVEPURPOSE

That I tell short stories using a sequence of images in a written way

EVALUACIÓN: INDICADOR O INDICADORES DE DESEMPEÑO:

• Escribe descripciones cortas, basadas en una secuencia de

ilustraciones.

Telling stories is common in any language. Think of all the situations in which
you can tell a story:

• Talking about your past to a friend

• Giving details about something that happened during a job interview
• Relating information about your family to your children
• Telling colleagues about what happened on a business trip

In each of these situations - and many others - you provide information about
something that happened in the past. In order to help your audience
understand, you need to link these ideas together. One of the most important
ways to link ideas is to sequence them. Sequencing refers to the order in which
events happened. These are some of the most common ways to sequence in
writing or speaking:
Beginning:
Firstly,
First of all,
To start off with,
Initially,

Continuing:
Then,
After that,
Next,
As soon as / When + full clause,
... but then
Immediately,

Ending:
Finally,
In the end,
Eventually,
Lastly,
129

Once upon a time a mouse was having a very bad time. She could
find no food at all. She looked here and there, but there was no food, and she
grew very thin.
At last the mouse found a basket, full of corn. There was a small hole in the
basket, and she crept in. She could just get through the hole.
Then she began to eat the corn. Being very hungry, she ate a great deal, and
went on eating and eating. She had grown very fat before she felt that she had
had enough.
When the mouse tried to climb out of the basket, she could not. She was too fat
to pass through the hole.
" How shall I climb out?" said the mouse. "oh, how shall I climb out?"
Just then a rat came along, and he heard the mouse.
"Mouse," said the rat, "if you want to climb out of the basket, you must wait till
you have grown as thin as you were when you went in."

With the following pictures write a complete story in your notebook. Take into
account of the way to write a story. Follow the sequence.

WORKSHOP Nº32

Topic:FUTURE TENSE (going to)

Time: Week: Month to 2012 Hours: 12

WARM UP!
Color and complete. Imagine you are having dinner with your friends in 15
years.
132

EXPRESSIVEPURPOSE

That I…talk to my classmates and teacher about future plans, so that

Ican be understood, in an oral way.

EVALUACIÓN: INDICADOR O INDICADORES DE DESEMPEÑO:

• Participa en diálogos sencillos, que expresen planes futuros.

The future continuous is formed using the present continuous form + a future
time.

We use the future continuous when we intend or plan to do something at a

specific time in the future.

Forexample:

• l'm picking him up at the airport this afternoon.

• l'm flying to England tomorrow.

~ Earth is a small, rocky planet which supports a variety of life! As far as we

know, Earth is unique from all other planets in this respect.

~ Temperatures at the Earth's center (called the "core") may be as high as 7500
K - That's hotter than the surface of the Sun!

~ The Earth is the densest major body in the solar system. This means that it's
the most "compact" of all the planets. For example, you have two loaves of
133

bread, both of the same amount. You smash one loaf of bread flat. Even
though both loaves are of the same amount, the smashed bread is *denser*
because it is more compact.

~ The Earth is 4.5 to 4.6 billion years old, but the oldest known rocks are less
than 4 billion years old. Rocks older than 3 billion years are rare. The oldest
fossils of living organisms are less than 3.9 billion years old!

~ The Earth is orbited by one moon.

Answer the following questions:

1. What is the Earth?

2. How do you imagine life is going to be on Planet Earth in 30 years?

Imagine you can travel to another planet in the 2025, choose three planets and
write the reasons you are going to travel there

Planet 1:
134

Planet 2:

Planet 3:

1. Read the word bank and write sentences about your future plans,
imagine you are 30 years older. What planet are you going to visit? Look
the example (do it in your notebook)

TRAVEL ATMOSPHERE RADIATION

BLACK HOLE SPACE SHIP COMET
CONSTELATION DAY NIGHT GALAXY
PLANET LIFE LIVE HUMAN LIFE EXTINTION

Example:

In 30 years I am going to travel to Venus because I want to know the

comets.

2. Imagine you are going to travel to the Moon, to Mars and to Jupiter
in 30 years, present your classmates why is it important to travel there,
talk about the characteristics of each planet. Use books or internet to do
it.

EXPRESSIVE PURPOSE

That I…Use the future tense to speak about classmates and teachers
future plans in order to improve my speaking skills.

EVALUACIÓN: INDICADOR O INDICADORES DE DESEMPEÑO:

• Participa en diálogos sencillos, que expresen planes futuros.

We say something is going to happen when it has already been planned.

For example:

Q) Are you going to fly to Germany?

A) No, we're going to drive.

We also use it to show something has already been decided.

For example:-

"We're going to buy a new car next year."

We also use going to when we can see something is about to happen.

For example:

"Look at that cloud. I think it's going to rain."

"Watch out! He's going to crash into that tree!"

EVALUACIÓN: INDICADOR O INDICADORES DE DESEMPEÑO:

• Escribe descripciones cortas, basadas en una secuencia de

A brochure (also referred to as a pamphlet) is a type of leaflet. Brochures are

most commonly found at places that tourists frequently visit, such as museums,
major shops, and tourist information. Brochure racks or stands may suggest
visits to amusement parks and other points of interest. Another type of brochure
is interpersonal brochures, which are brochures based on other people. Then
there are pamphlets that you can find in health clinics and hospitals that give
help and advice to do with your health.

We have to recognize three simple steps to make a brochure:

1. Choose the topic you are going to write about and a very beautiful picture
that is related with the topic.
2. Write about your topic, in this case it’s your future plans.
3. Describe the activities you are going to do (in this part of your project,
you can combine pictures with descriptions)

In grammar, the superlative is the form of an adjective (or adverb) that

indicates that the person or thing (or action) modified has the quality of the
adjective (or adverb) to a degree greater than that of anything it is being
compared to in a given context. English superlatives are typically formed with
the suffix -est (e.g. healthiest, weakest) or the word most (most recent, most
interesting).

In the following chart you’ll find a list of persons with their corresponding
adjective, write a complete sentence with the words you have, you should use
your notebook.

THE MOST ENERGETIC PERSON I KNOW

Smart The smartest energetic The most energetic

Funny The funniest interesting The most interesting

Nice The nicest Patient The most Patient

Big The biggest Stubborn The most Stubborn

A: I think your grandmother is very ENERGETIC.

B: she certainly is. She’s the most energetic person I know.

Your friend Carlos your grandfather your cousins

Our English teacher your nephew Andrew your younger brother

(patient) (stubborn) (polite)
149

Your older sister your upstairs neighbor your downstairs neighbor
