PUPPIES FOR SALE
A farmer had some puppies he needed to sell. He painted a sign advertising the pups and set about Nailing it to a post on the edge of his yard. As he was driving the last nail into the post, he Felt a tug on his overalls. He looked down into the Eyes of a little boy.
Mister," he said, "I want to buy one of your puppies."
"Well," said the farmer, as he rubbed the sweat off the back of his neck, "these puppies come from fine parents and cost a good deal of money."
The boy dropped his head for a moment. Then reaching deep into his pocket, he pulled out a handful of change and held it up to the farmer. "I've got thirty-nine cents. Is that enough to take a look?"
"Sure," said the farmer.
And with that he let out a whistle,"Here,Dolly!" he called.
Out from the doghouse and down the ramp ran Dolly followed by four little balls of fur. The little boy pressed his face against the chain link fence. His eyes danced with delight.
As the dogs made their way to the fence, the little boy noticed something else stirring inside the doghouse. Slowly another little ball appeared; this One noticeably smaller. Down the ramp it slid. Then in a somewhat awkward manner the little pup began hobbling toward the others, doing its best to catch up....
"I want that one," the little boy said, pointing to the runt.
The farmer knelt down at the boy's side and said, "Son, you don't want that puppy. He will never be able to run and play with you like these other dogs would."
With that the little boy stepped back from the fence, reached down, and began rolling up one leg of his trousers. In doing so he revealed a steel brace running down both sides of his leg attaching itself To a specially made shoe. Looking back up at the farmer, he said, "You see sir, I don't run too well myself, and he will need Someone who understands."
The world is full of people who need someone who understands.

HELLO GUYS, NEXT CLASS IS OUR FIRST EXAM, SO IF YOU DON´T WANNA LOOK LIKE HIM 


 I RECOMEND YOU TO STUDY.

HOMEWORK

2.- READING.

Wait For The Brick

A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door! He slammed on the brakes and drove the Jag back to the spot where the brick had been thrown. The angry driver then jumped out of the car, grabbed the nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, "What was that all about and who are you?
Just what the heck are you doing?
That's a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money.
Why did you do it?"
The young boy was apologetic. "Please mister ... please, I'm sorry... I didn't know what else to do," he pleaded.
"I threw the brick because no one else would stop..."
With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the youth pointed to a spot just around a parked car.
"It's my brother," he said.
"He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up."

Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."
Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He hurriedly lifted the handicapped boy back into the wheelchair, then took out his fancy handkerchief and dabbed at the fresh scrapes and cuts. A quick look told him everything was going to be okay.

"Thank you and may God bless you," the grateful child told the stranger.
Too shook up for words, the man simply watched the little boy push his wheelchair-bound brother down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long, slow walk back to the Jaguar. The damage was very noticeable, but the driver never bothered to repair the dented side door. He kept the dent there to remind him of this message: Don't go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention!
God whispers in our souls and speaks to our hearts. Sometimes when we don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at us.It's our choice: Listen to the whisper ... or wait for the brick!


3.- INFORMATION. Lee la siguiente información sobre el tema que vimos en la clase pasada.

Present Perfect con "ever"

La utilización del Present Perfect con "ever" hace referencia a "si has hecho o no hecho algo alguna vez en tu vida". Es igual que cuando en español decimos:

"¿Has visto alguna vez (en tu vida)esta película?" Nota: No decimos "en tu vida" pero se sobreentiende.

Contestamos: "Sí" o, "nunca".

En inglés, como no se puede negar dos veces, no podemos utilizar "never" con "not", así que utilizamos "ever" si el verbo que antecede está en negativo. Si esta en afirmativo, sí es posible.

Por ejemplo:

Pregunta: Have you ever heard it? Lo has escuchado alguna vez.

Respuesta 1) I have never heard it. Nunca lo he oído.--> El verbo está en afirmativo, por tanto, es posible "never".

Respuesta 2) I haven't ever heard it. Nunca lo he oído.--> Esta vez, como el verbo está en negativo, no puedo poner "never", así que pongo "ever".

Más ejemplos:

-Have you ever been to Paris? ¿Has ido alguna vez a Paris?

Yes, I have. Sí, he ido.

-Have you ever seen that film? ¿Has visto esa película alguna vez?

No, never. No, nunca.

- Has he ever read a book? ¿Ha leído él un libro alguna vez?

Yes, he has. Sí.

Ever - Significados y usos




Pregunta:

¿Qué significa "has she ever done..."?

ella lo ha hecho ? pero el "ever" ¿que función cumple acá? 



********
Respuesta:

"Has she ever done..." significa ---> Lo ha hecho (ella) alguna vez.

"Ever" significa alguna vez cuando lo utilizamos en una pregunta.

Más ejemplos:

- Have you ever been to London? ¿Has estado alguna vez en Londres?

- Has she ever written a letter in English? ¿Ha escrito ella alguna vez una carta en inglés?

- Have they ever worked here? ¿Han trabajado ellos alguna vez aquí?


Since - for



¿No sabes cuándo utilizar “since” y “for”? En este artículo aclararemos todas las dudas. Te aconsejo que leas varias veces la teoría para que se te graben grabados los conceptos y que luego practiques mucho haciendo ejercicios.


Pronunciación:


  • Since” [sins] Nada de decir “sains” , que lo suelo escuchar mucho y no es correcto. Es [sins]. Según el alfabeto fonético es "sIns".


  • For” no presenta problemas de pronunciación.

Significado:



  • Since” [sins] significa “desde” una fecha concreta: día, mes, año, período del año (verano, invierno, el año pasado) , momento determinado.
  • For” significa “durante”. Prolongación en el tiempo. 

Usos:

Since” y “for” suelen asociarse con el “Present Perfect” (Have/has + participio pasado del verbo). No obstante, es posible utilizarlos con otros tiempos verbales.

Ejemplos:

-I've lived here since 2003. [aiv lIvhir sins tuzaunsandzri] “He vivido aquí desde 2003” o “Vivo aquí desde 2003.” Nota: Fíjate como 2003 es una fecha concreta

- I've lived here for 5 years. [aiv lIvhirfor faiviers] He vivido aquí (durante) 5 años. Nota: En muchas ocasiones en español omitimos “durante”.

Problemas que presentan “since” y “for”:


  • No saber utilizar la estructura del “Present Perfect” y del “Present Perfect Continuous”. Si en español no utilizas la estructura “He/has...vivido” al hablar, el “Present Perfect” te puede resultar difícil de comprender. Mira aquí lo que he dicho antes de este tiempo y aquí. También es importante entender el "Present Perfect Continuous"
  • Traducir literalmente del español al inglés, sin entender las diferencias entre “since” y “for”.
  • Problemas con la traducción al inglés de la estructura en español: “hace + periodo de tiempo+ que hago algo”

Para evitar que te confundas repetiremos la regla muchas veces y practicaremos yendo del español al inglés (que es lo que hace tu cabeza).

Regla de utilizacion de “since” y “for”.
Since” [sins] significa “desde” una fecha concreta : hora, día, semana, mes, año, período del año (verano, invierno, el año pasado, etc.) o momento determinado (cuando viniste, al sonar la campana, etc.). “For” significa “durante” (periodo de tiempo, prolongado o corto), pero ¡ojo!: Muchas veces en español no ponemos la palabra “ durante” porque se sobreentiende.

Ejemplo 1: She has been married since 1998. Ella ha estado casadadesde 1998.
Ejemplo 2: Since she came here I've been very nervous. Desde que ella vino, yo he estado muy nervioso/a. Nota: “She came” expresa un momento determinado en el tiempo.
Ejemplo: 3. She has been married for ten years. Ella ha estado casada diez años.Nota: Fíjate como no necesito decir “durante” en español.
Ejemplo 4: I have been studying English for ten years. Nota: En español podemos decir: “Hace diez años que estudio inglés”, o “He estado estudiando inglés (durante) diez años.”
Ejemplo 5: I have been living here for twenty years. “Hace veinte años que vivo aquí”, es más habitual que decir: “He estado viviendo aquí veinte años”.

HOMEWORK


ANSWER THE EXERCISES IN THE STUDENT BOOK ON PAGES 62 AND 63. AND THE EXERCISES IN THE WORKBOOK ON PAGES 30, 31 AND 32.


1.- Read the following text. Recuerda leerlo las veces que sean necesarias. Busca las palabras que desconozcas e investigalas. Encuentra la definición que mas se apegue al contexto del texto.

THE 4 WIVES

There was a rich merchant who had 4 wives. He loved the 4th wife the most and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to delicacies. He took great care of her and gave her nothing but the best.
He also loved the 3rd wife very much. He's very proud of her and always wanted to show off her to his friends. However, the merchant is always in great fear that she might run away with some other men.
He too, loved his 2nd wife. She is a very considerate person, always patient and in fact is the merchant's confidante. Whenever the merchant faced some problems, he always turned to his 2nd wife and she would always help him out and tide him through difficult times.
Now, the merchant's 1st wife is a very loyal partner and has made great contributions in maintaining his wealth and business as well as taking care of the household. However, the merchant did not love the first wife and although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her.
One day, the merchant fell ill. Before long, he knew that he was going to die soon. He thought of his luxurious life and told himself, "Now I have 4 wives with me. But when I die, I'll be alone. How lonely I'll be!"
Thus, he asked the 4th wife, "I loved you most, endowed you with the finest clothing and showered great care over you. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!" replied the 4th wife and she walked away without another word.
The answer cut like a sharp knife right into the merchant's heart. The sad merchant then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you so much for all my life. Now that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No!" replied the 3rd wife. "Life is so good over here! I'm going to remarry when you die!" The merchant's heart sank and turned cold.
He then asked the 2nd wife, "I always turned to you for help and you've always helped me out. Now I need your help again. When I die, will you follow me and keep me company?" "I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!" replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only send you to your grave." The answer came like a bolt of thunder and the merchant was devastated.
Then a voice called out : "I'll leave with you. I'll follow you no matter where you go." The merchant looked up and there was his first wife. She was so skinny, almost like she suffered from malnutrition. Greatly grieved, the merchant said, "I should have taken much better care of you while I could have !"
Actually, we all have 4 wives in our lives
a. The 4th wife is our body. No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good, it'll leave us when we die.
b. Our 3rd wife ? Our possessions, status and wealth. When we die, they all go to others.
c. The 2nd wife is our family and friends. No matter how close they had been there for us when we're alive, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.
d. The 1st wife is in fact our soul, often neglected in our pursuit of material, wealth and sensual pleasure.
Guess what? It is actually the only thing that follows us wherever we go. Perhaps it's a good idea to cultivate and strengthen it now rather than to wait until we're on our deathbed to lament




2.- READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ABOUT THE GRAMMAR YOU SAW LAST CLASS.



Presente Perfecto (Present Perfect Tense)


El Presente Perfecto en el idioma inglés es un tiempo verbal que se utiliza para referirnos a acciones que suceden en un pasado reciente y que guardan alguna relación con el presente. Su equivalente en el idioma español es el Pretérito Perfecto:
I have sent the letter.
Yo he enviado la carta.
(Indica que la acción acaba de suceder)
Para poder construir la forma afirmativa del Presente Perfecto debemos utilizar como auxiliar el verbo TO HAVE en Presente Simple y acompañado por el verbo principal en su Pasado Participio (ya sean verbos regulares o verbos irregulares):
I have bought a new dress.Yo he comprado un nuevo vestido.
You have studied the lesson.Tú has estudiado la lección.
He has broken the window.Él ha roto la ventana.
She has lost the keys.Ella ha perdido las llaves.
Recuerden que a las 3º personas del singular deben colocar la “S” en el auxiliar ya que se trata del Presente Simple.
Por su parte, la forma negativa se forma poniendo la negación NOTentre el auxiliar y el verbo principal, por ejemplo:
I have not bought a new dress.Yo no he comprado un nuevo vestido.
You have not studied the lesson.Tú no has estudiado la lección.
He has not broken the window.Él no ha roto la ventana.
She has not lost the keys.Ella no ha perdido la llave.
También puede utilizarse la forma contraída de la negación colocando HAVEN’T o HASN’T según corresponda.
