ORIENTACIONES PARA LOS PADRES DE FAMILIA

Esta guía de aprendizaje de Inglés para el trabajo en casa se preparó con el fin de ayudar a su
hijo o hija a reconocer los posibles problemas futuros del mundo mediante predicciones debido
a las condiciones que se realicen en el presente con la ayuda del uso del primer condicional o
'First conditional'. Su hijo (a) deberá dedicar una hora para desarrollar toda la guía. El trabajo
aquí descrito se relaciona con la página 148 del libro del estudiante 'English please 9th', que
está disponible en la plataforma Colombia Aprende. Sin embargo, no es necesario el uso de
esta durante la realización de la guía ya que el libro sólo se usó como referencia para crear las
actividades propuestas.
