questions, answers and common expressions. It is also involves important aspect
such as distinguish between countable and uncountable nouns in English

 WEEK 2 AND 3

Competence: Say what usually happens in different situations

Conditional sentences consist of two parts:

The if-clause (which is a condition) and the main clause (which is a result)
For example:
 If it rains, we will cancel the trip.
If it rains …. is the if-clause (the condition)

An if-clause begins with IF and has a subject and a verb.

We will cancel the trip …. is the main clause (the result)

If introduces a condition. This is something that may or may not happen, depending on the
circumstances. We do not know exactly if it is going to rain so we say… IF it rains,
And what is the result of this condition? We will cancel the trip. There is always a condition and
a result.

The IF-clause introduces a condition. The main clause is the result of that condition.

 Projec Part I ( Guia I)

Choose three professional careers and describe the possible problems you can face after
graduation, and then write recommendations to solve those problems.

A doctor is a person who care about other people’s health.

graduation and postgraduate studies, sometimes they face several
problems to find a job.

They could find jobs with a very low salary

They might face jobs in very distance places without water,
electricity, or public services; in some other cases, they must
prescribe some specific medications in spite of people illnesses.

They definitely can`t be free when they want to share time with their family because they must attend to
very complicated shifts.

To solve this kind of issues Doctor should try to find jobs in other countries and take their family with them,
If I were a doctor, I would try very hard to find a well-paid job, I wouldn’t be far from my family too
much.
Families ought to support doctors because they have many other things to focus on.
