Activity N° 5

Present Continuous (Interrogative form)

En el Presente Continuo o Present Continuous, se encuentran dos tipos de

preguntas: aquellas cuyas respuestas son positivas ó negativas, y las otras que
deben detallar la información que se está solicitando.

Yes/No Questions: preguntas de sí o no - preguntas cerradas

Este tipo de preguntas se realizan colocando el verbo To Be en primer

lugar, luego el pronombre ó sujeto, verbo con -ing y después el complemento.

Observa cómo se realiza una oración en Presente Continuo y luego cómo

se formula una pregunta y la respuesta:

Ejemplo:

Sentence Question Short

answers

She is reading a book / Is She reading a book? Yes, she

is. / No, she isn´t.
 Observa que lo único que cambia de una oración a una pregunta es
el pronombre y verbo To Be; la estructura queda de la misma manera.

Ahora bien, aquí hay un cuadro donde puedes observar cómo realizar las
preguntas y las respuestas con cada uno de los pronombres:

NOTA: Es importante que se tome en cuenta que cuando la pregunta se

formula con Are you? se contesta: Yes, I am / No, I am not.

A-Answer in the affirmative or negative form

1) Is Carlos eating pizza? No, ……………………………

2) Are you writing a letter? Yes, …………………….
3) Is the cat sleeping on the sofa? No, ………………………
4) Is Sophia listening to music? Yes, ………………...
5) Are they washing the car? No, ………………….…
6) Are we studying English? Yes, …………………….

WH– Questions: preguntas informativas o abiertas.

En este tipo de preguntas la información que se va a suministrar debe

ser más completa. Aquí se utilizan los adverbios interrogativos tales como:
What (qué, cuál), Where (dónde), Who (quién), Why (por qué), When
(cuándo) etc.

Hay una diferencia de cuando nos preguntan ¿Está ella comiendo pizza? y
la respuesta es positiva ó negativa (como las preguntas anteriores); que
cuando preguntan ¿Qué está comiendo ella?, la respuesta es una información
en específica y no se responde de forma positiva o negativa.
Observa los siguientes ejemplos:

* What is she eating? (¿Qué está comiendo ella?)

She is eating pizza. (Ella está comiendo pizza)

* Where are you running? (¿Dónde estás corriendo?)

I am running in the park. (Yo estoy corriendo en el parque)

B-Answer the questions,there is an example to help you.

Example: What is he buying? (¿Qué está comprando él?)

He is buying candies. (Él está comprando caramelos).

1) What are they watching? (movies)

……………………………………………………………………………..……………..
2) Where is Karina swimming? (in the pool)
…………………………………………………………………..………………
3) What are you studying? (English)
……………………………………………………………………………………………….
4) Who is driving the car? (My father)
………………………............…………………………………..……………………
5) Where is the dog sleeping? (on the sofa)
……………………………………………………………………………………..

Nota: No confundas los tipos de preguntas, es importante que

aprendas a identificarlas. Todo depende de cómo comiencen a
formularse y allí podrás reconocer la forma en que vas a contestar.

Past Simple/Regular and Irregular verbs

El pasado simple en inglés funciona en español a veces como el pretérito

(leí, tomé, comí, etc), y a veces como el imperfecto (leía, tomaba,

comía, etc), dependiendo del contexto.

Para los verbos regulares en inglés, el pasado simple se forma

añadiendo ‘ed’ al final del verbo. Esta forma es la misma para todos los

pronombres personales (I, you, he, etc).

EJEMPLOS

WORK SE TRANSFORMA A WORKED

WATCH SE TRANSFORMA A WATCHED

PLAY SE TRANSFORMA A PLAYED

Activity Nº13

Past Simple/REVISION

El verbo to be es un verbo es irregular, pero lo situamos en una

columna separada ya que nunca lleva el auxiliar did para formar

oraciones negativas o interrogativas:

✓ Was/ were: verbo to be (ser, estar) en pasado, se utiliza tanto para

oraciones afirmativas, como interrogativas y negativas. “was” para

primera persona "I" y tercera del singular "he, she, it" Ejemplos: I

was sad. Estaba triste. Were you in the library? ¿Estabas en la

biblioteca?

✓ -ED. Terminación que se añade a los verbos regulares en pasado

simple. En forma afirmativa. Ejemplo: "They walked to the school"

Ellos caminaron al colegio.

 ✓ Did: Verbo auxiliar que se utiliza para el pasado simple en oraciones

interrogativas y negativas, el verbo principal (regular o irregular) se

pone en infinitivo. Ejemplos: Did you go to the swimming pool

yesterday? ¿Fuiste a la piscina ayer? Yes, I did. (si, fui) No, I

did not go. No, no fui.

Presta atención: ¿Cómo se escriben los verbos regulares

en pasado simple?

 Who was Diego Armando Maradona?

Diego Armando Maradona was born on October 30, 1960, in Villa Fiorito, a

province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The fifth of eight children raised by

Diego Sr. and Doña Tota, Maradona grew up in a poor but close-knit

household. He received his first soccer ball as a gift at age 3 and quickly

became devoted to the game.

At 10, Maradona joined Los Cebollitas, a youth team of Argentinos Juniors,

one of the biggest clubs in Argentina. Showing his prodigious ability at an

early age, Maradona led Los Cebollitas to an incredible 136-game unbeaten

streak. He made his professional debut for the senior team shortly before

his 16th birthday.

The pinnacle of his career came as a member of the Argentinean national

team that won the 1986 World Cup. His performance there included two

memorable goals in a quarter-final victory over England. The first was

scored illegally with his left hand, which Maradona later claimed was the

work of "the hand of God" and the second required no supernatural help

other than an otherworldly ability to dribble past an onslaught of

defenders to find the back of the net. Altogether, Maradona played in four

World Cups, and scored an impressive 34 goals in 91 international

appearances for Argentina.

Maradona, who was recovering from emergency brain surgery, passed

away in his Argentinian home from a heart attack on November 25, 2020.

He was 60.

 Who was Edgar Allan Poe?

Edgar Allan Poe was an American writer, poet, critic and editor best known

for evocative short stories and poems that captured the imagination and

interest of readers around the world. His imaginative storytelling and tales

of mystery and horror gave birth to the modern detective story.

Many of Poe’s works, including “The Tell-Tale Heart” and “The Fall of the

House of Usher,” became literary classics. Some aspects of Poe’s life, like

his literature, is shrouded in mystery, and the lines between fact and

fiction have been blurred substantially since his death.

Early Life and Family

Poe was born on January 19, 1809, in Boston, Massachusetts.

Poe never really knew his parents — Elizabeth Arnold Poe, a British actress,

and David Poe, Jr., an actor who was born in Baltimore. His father left the

family early in Poe's life, and his mother passed away from tuberculosis

when he was only three.

Separated from his brother William and sister Rosalie, Poe went to live

with John and Frances Allan, a successful tobacco merchant and his wife, in

Richmond, Virginia. Edgar and Frances seemed to form a bond, but he had a

more difficult relationship with John Allan.

A-Read Poe´s short story or poem and then write a short paragraph

about it.
 Who was Martin Luther King?

On January 15, 1929, Martin Luther King Jr. is born in Atlanta, Georgia, the

son of a Baptist minister.

In 1955, Luther King helped organize the first major protest of the

African American civil rights movement: the successful Montgomery Bus

Boycott. Influenced by Mohandas Gandhi, he advocated civil disobedience

and nonviolent resistance to segregation in the South.

King became the youngest person to win the Nobel Peace Prize.In the late

1960s, King openly criticized U.S. involvement in Vietnam and turned his

efforts to winning economic rights for poor Americans. He was

assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 4, 1968.

A-Read and answer the questions

• What do you think about King´s ideals?

• Do you believe in the non violence resistance as a way to protest?

• Do you think that discrimination is a current issue?

• Do you know people with the same ideals as Luther King?

 Who was Marie Curie?

Marie Curie was a Polish-born physicist and chemist and one of the most

famous scientists of her time. Together with her husband Pierre, she was

awarded the Nobel Prize in 1903, and she went on to win another in 1911.

Marie Sklodowska was born in Warsaw on 7 November 1867, the daughter

of a teacher. In 1891, she went to Paris to study physics and mathematics

at the Sorbonne where she met Pierre Curie, professor of the School of

Physics. They were married in 1895.

The Curies worked together investigating radioactivity, building on the

work of the German physicist Roentgen and the French physicist Becquerel.

In July 1898, the Curies announced the discovery of a new chemical

element, polonium. At the end of the year, they announced the discovery of

another, radium. The Curies, along with Becquerel, were awarded the Nobel

Prize for Physics in 1903.

Pierre's life was cut short in 1906 when he was knocked down and killed by

a carriage. Marie took over his teaching post, becoming the first woman to

teach at the Sorbonne, and devoted herself to continuing the work that

they had begun together. She received a second Nobel Prize, for

Chemistry, in 1911.

The Curie's research was crucial in the development of x-rays in surgery.

During World War One Curie helped to equip ambulances with x-ray

equipment, which she herself drove to the front lines. The International

Red Cross made her head of its radiological service and she held training

courses for medical orderlies and doctors in the new techniques.

Despite her success, Marie continued to face great opposition from male

scientists in France, and she never received significant financial benefits

from her work. By the late 1920s her health was beginning to deteriorate.

She died on 4 July 1934 from leukaemia, caused by exposure to high-

energy radiation from her research. The Curies' eldest daughter Irene was

herself a scientist and winner of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry.

 Who was Adam Smith?

Adam Smith (1723-1790) was a moral philosopher and economic thinker who

is widely considered to be the father of modern economics.

Smith was born to a widowed mother in the port town of Kirkcaldy on

Scotland’s east coast. His father, a lawyer and comptroller, died two

months before he was born. After graduating at the age of 14 from one of

Scotland’s top secondary schools, Smith entered the University of Glasgow

and studied under the influential philosopher Francis Hutcheson. Smith

then attained a scholarship to Balliol College, Oxford, where he spent six

years studying European literature and where he developed contempt for

elite English education and teachers, who, he complained, had “given up

altogether even the pretense of teaching.”

Smith began rising to public recognition in 1748, when he started a series

of lectures in Edinburgh on rhetoric, belles lettres, and jurisprudence.

Around the same time, he met and began a life-long friendship with David

Hume, who was also a former student of Hutcheson. At the age of 28,

Smith became professor of rhetoric and moral philosophy at the University

of Glasgow. His lectures formed the basis of The Theory of Moral

Sentiments (1759), which was met with great acclaim in Britain and across

the Continent.
In 1763, Smith was able to visit France while serving as a traveling tutor to

a young English aristocrat. Smith traveled throughout France and

Switzerland, meeting d’Alembert, Voltaire, Rousseau, Helvétius, Morellet,

Turgot, Quesnay, and Benjamin Franklin.

Smith’s greatest legacy is his moral justification for a free commercial

society. He showed that a system of free exchange that puts the individual

consumer at its center is far better at increasing broad prosperity than

the prevailing mercantilist, protectionist system. His writing had a

profound impact on generations of economic theorists. His work helped lay

down the moral and economic foundations for a great part of the modern

world.

Answer the quetions,according to the text.

I. When and Where was Smith born?

II. Who were Smith ’main influences?

III. Can you mention Smith’s professions?

IV. Why was Smith recognized in the economic modern world?

 The sharing economy

If we look around us at the things we have purchased at some point in our lives,

we would no doubt notice that not everything we own is being put to good use: the

thick woollen coat which we thought looked trendy despite the fact that we live in

a tropical country, the smartphone that got put away when we bought ourselves

the newest model, the car that only gets used at the weekends, or even the guest

room in our house that somehow got turned into a storeroom.

Those underutilised items may seem useless to some, but could be an asset to

others. With the advent of the internet, online communities have figured out a

way to generate profit from the sharing of those underused assets. Using

websites and social media groups that facilitate the buying and selling of second-

hand goods, it is now easier than ever for peer-to-peer sharing activities to take

place. And this is known as the sharing economy.

These democratised online platforms are providing a chance for people to make a

quick buck or two. To give an example, busy parents previously might not have

bothered with setting up a stall at the local market or car boot sale to sell their

children's old equipment, but with online marketplaces, parents are now able to

sell on those hardly worn baby clothes that their children have outgrown and the

expensive pushchairs and baby equipment they have invested in, so as to put some

cash back into their pockets.

Businesses have also caught on to the profitability of the sharing economy and are

seeking to gain from making use of those underutilised resources. A business

model that has rapidly risen in popularity sees companies providing an online

platform that puts customers in contact with those who can provide a particular

product or service. Companies like Airbnb act as a middleman for people to cash in

on their unused rooms and houses and let them out as lucrative accommodation.

Another example is Uber, which encourages people to use their own personal cars

as taxis to make some extra cash in their free time.

This move towards a sharing economy is not without criticisms. Unlike businesses,

unregulated individuals do not have to follow certain regulations and this can lead

to poorer and inconsistent quality of goods and services and a higher risk of fraud.

Nevertheless, in the consumerist society we live in today, the increased

opportunities to sell on our unwanted and underused goods can lead to a lesser

impact on our environment.

A-Say if the sentences are true or false

a. We don't always use everything we buy.

True…………….. False………………………

b. By offering our goods and services online, we can make a profit.

True……………….. False……………………….

c. Things that are useless to you will also be useless to others.

Agile working

The world we live in is changing and it is changing rapidly. Whether this is driven

by technology, globalisation or in response to specific crises, there is no doubt

that the workplace of today needs to constantly adapt to ongoing changes in order

to remain efficient and competitive.

In more traditional work settings, the definition of a good employee was someone

who came to the office on time at 9 a.m., sat at their desk and worked hard,

taking direction from their managers and following the rules. This model employee

would be there rain or shine, always appearing busy until it was time to go home at

6 p.m. But with the development of smartphones and internet technologies, many
companies are starting to form virtual teams with team members living in

different time zones, and employees are now finding themselves answering emails,

attending meetings and working on reports from home outside their usual working

hours. People now need to work smarter and not just harder.

It is not only the time and location of the modern workplace that is changing. The

role of the manager is evolving too. Many organisations are moving away from an

approach where managers constantly supervise their staff and tell people exactly

what is to be done. Instead, they are adopting a more project-based approach,

where managers have the responsibility of clarifying project goals and enabling

teamwork and collaboration. The roles that the individuals play might differ from

project to project, and agile managers can serve to support team members in

adapting the way they contribute to a team.

These changes in modern work practices mean that organisations need to adopt

agile working approaches so that they can find the most appropriate and efficient

way of getting things done. The consumer goods company Unilever describes agile

working as ‘an approach to getting work done with maximum flexibility and

minimum constraints’.

Agile working is not just about allowing employees to work from home and decide

their own working hours. Another example of agile working might be workspaces

designed to suit the different kinds of work taking place. This is an environment

that helps people to be at their best and most productive. An agile workspace

might include open areas with small tables for people to gather and work together

and standing desks to improve energy levels and productivity. It might include

quiet zones for a bit of thinking time and social areas for staff to chat and relax

together. Like most things with agile working, there is no one-size-fits-all

approach. Agile workspaces have to be adapted to the individuals and their roles in

the company because agile working is about valuing people and their activities and

not having them limited by the physical workplace.

Basically, agile working is about being ready to change the way we work – whether

it be our working hours, our physical workplace, the technology we use, the nature

of our roles and the way we work together, or the way our work is done. By

encouraging such agility and flexibility, we can adapt to the ever-changing world

around us, while creating a more dynamic workforce and improving our

performance and productivity.
