A. Answer the questions below. Use the examples as models of the grammar and
vocabulary you have to use.

1. Why didn’t you study English before? (List at least 5 reasons in a

composition.)

Example:

One of the reasons why I didn’t study English before it is because I thought it
was too difficult. I didn’t understand my English teacher at school and that
was frustrating.
 I did not study English before because it seemed boring to me, I did not understand
my English teachers, I thought I was not going to use it in my professional life, I had
never liked studying another language, I thought I would not be able to learn to
pronounce it

2. How different would things be if you had learned English before? (Name and
explain at least 5 things.)

Example:

If I had learned English some years ago I would have accepted a job a
multinational company offered me five years ago. One of the requirements
was to speak English and my level back then was very low.

If I had learned English before, I would have more job opportunities, it would have
been easier to study my professional career since I am a software programmer, it
would have been easier for me to understand the programming code, I would have
traveled to Canada to work.

B. Record an audio file of yourself answering the following questions. Use the
examples as models of the grammar and vocabulary you have to use.

1. Why are you studying English? (List and explain at least 4 reasons.)

Example:

I’m studying English because I finally decided that if I want to improve my

professional profile becoming bilingual is essential.

2. In what ways are you going to benefit from this learning?

Example:
Being competent in English is going to increase the opportunities of landing a more

is the most important language.

“Decidí aprender a escribir bien hace unos siete años. recuerdo haber visto
las secretarias de la escuela escribiendo sin ver el teclado. Tuvieron
