ACTIVIDADES Y ESTRATEGIAS DE APRENDIZAJE

Reviewing well: Estructuras del orden para formular preguntas en pasado.

¡Mucho cuidado con el orden! También, algunas lecturas sobre gente que ha
hecho la diferencia en sus comunidades.
Activity 1. SUMMARY
a. What is the past simple affirmative ending for regular verbs? The past simple
affirmative ending for regular verbs – ed. For example: open- opened;
finish- finished;
b. What do we do when a verb ends in -y? When a verb ends in –y, we change –y
for i and then we add –ed. For example study- studied; try – tried.
c. Irregular verbs don’t end in -ed. Find the past simple form of four irregular verbs
in the text.
Examples of irregular verbs:
Infinitives Past tense
Go (ir) went (fui, fuimos, fueron...)

 Find (encontrar) found (encontré, encontraron…)
Get (conseguir) Got (conseguí, consiguieron…)
Fly (volar) Flew (vole, volaron…)

Activity 4. Practice pronunciation - READINGS: AMAZING PEOPLE
Let’s find out how these amazing young people changed their communities
FROM BEGGING TO BUILDING
Sandra Ferreira de Souza grew up on the streets of São
Paolo, Brazil. She couldn’t work because she was so
young, so she begged for money to survive. She became
pregnant when she was just a teenager. An organisation
Lua Nova, which helps pregnant women in Brazil, gave her
somewhere to live. After she had her baby, Lua Nova
helped Sandra to learn about building, so that she could
get a job.
Sandra and other women like her learnt a lot. She can now
make bricks and sell them, and she can build a house.
Some people think that women can’t be builders, but
Sandra knows that they are wrong. In fact, some people
prefer women builders because they think that women are
more careful. Sandra now lives with her three children in a
house that she built herself.
ECO-FRIENDLY INVENTOR

William Kamkwamba was born in Malawi, Africa in very

poor conditions. He grew up without electricity or running
water. After he was 14, he couldn’t go to school because
his family were poor. However, there was a local library, so
he went there instead. He could read books and teach
himself things.

William was very interested in reading about how windmills

could make electricity and pump water. So he decided to
build a windmill.
William’s windmill was very successful, and he won a
scholarship to a university in South Africa. Now he can
teach young people how to make their own windmills and
repair water pumps.
