In this lesson you will learn:



Some classroom expressions. The symbols of your textbook.

Read the text and answer the exercise below.

Symbols and their meanings

In many parts of the world people use symbols or signs to communicate. You can see
many on the streets, public places like movie theaters, toilets, airports and others.
In this book you can see symbols too. For example,

this means you have to put

a check where the instructions indicate. When you see this symbol

you have to

match columns, pictures, etcetera.

Other symbols in this book are

listen and complete. This hand

, which mean underline,

indicates that you have to point at something

and when you see these two faces

you have to work in pairs.

Now look at these symbols. Draw a line to match

them with their meanings.

Useful information

1. Es probable que los alumnos no sepan como deletrear

los nmeros. Para ayudarles, puede sugerir que realicen
algunos juegos con los nmeros y la forma como se deletrean. Organice el grupo en equipos; proporcione a cada
uno pedazos de papel con los nmeros escritos y la forma
como se deletrean, luego, pdales que se renan en pares.
Para finalizar anmelos para que escriban en sus cuadernos el nmero y la manera como se deletrea.
2. Explique a los menores que estas abreviaturas pueden
ayudarlos entender el significado de una palabra en el
diccionario y como usarla.

1. Students probably wont know how to spell the different

numbers. To help them, you can first make sets of numbers
and their spellings on different pieces of paper. Give a set
to small groups of students and have them try to match
the numbers with what they think are their spellings. Then
they can write them in their books.
2. You can explain to the students that these codes can help
them understand a words meaning in a dictionary and
how to use it.
