GUIDE 2 - Ingles LLL
Have you ever wanted to be able to climb over three-meter walls? How about jumping from
one building to another? My name is Logan Smith, I’m 13 years old, and I can do all those things
because my hobby is Parkour.
In Parkour, or free-running, you must get from one place to another as quickly as you can. If
There is something in your way, you go over it. Under it or
Around it. It’s great fun. But it can be dangerous, so if you want to learn, you’ll have to find a
good teacher. The first thing you learn is how to fall well. I began learning Parkour three years
ago. I fell over a lot first, but I learned fast, and I have improved since then. I haven’t fallen for
about three months.
I’ve lived in this town since I was two years old. It’s a bit boring, because there aren’t many
places children can go to play. But that changed when I started learning Parkour. Now the whole
town is my playground.
Example:
A. She has lived here since 2011.
B. She has lived here for 3 years.
It is also common to follow since with a phrase that describes a specific time:
Example:
A. I’ve been playing the piano since I was five.
B. It’s the hottest summer since records began.
If you want to ask someone questions about the length of time something has existed or been happening, the
most common way is to use How long …?
The word AGO is used to say how long before the present something happened. It always comes at the end of
the sentence
Example:
A. She called me about an hour ago.
B. Dinosaurs lived millions of years ago. Taken From https://dictionaryblog.cambridge.org/2015/12/30/since-for-and-ago-talking-about-periods-of-time/#:~:text=They%20are%20both%20used%20to,waiting%20since%2010%20o'clock.
