Hello, my name is Michelle and I want to welcome you to the
third component of this course: English Does Work Level 9.
In this component, we are going to learn to tell stories from the
past and how to structure them correctly in their beginning, their
development and their ending.
For this, we must learn how to order and connect our ideas with
help of transition words that tell us what happened before,
simultaneously and later in the story, or even tell us what event
concluded the story.
Also, to enrich our narration, we have some resources such as
the expressions “was/were going to” and “was/were supposed
to”, that tell us about things that were expected to be carried out
or that were planned in the past, but at the end will not be held
in the future.
Finally, we are going to learn some pronunciation concepts that
will improve our conversational skills.
Now, thanks for listening to me and let’s start learning this new
component.

Hola, mi nombre es Michelle y quiero darles la bienvenida al
tercer componente de este curso: English Does Work Nivel 9.
En este componente, vamos a aprender a contar historias del
pasado y cómo estructurarlas correctamente en su inicio, su
desarrollo y su desenlace.
Para esto, debemos aprender cómo ordenar y conectar
nuestras ideas con la ayuda de palabras de transición, que en la
historia nos dicen qué cosas ocurrieron anteriormente,
simultáneamente y posteriormente en la historia, o incluso nos
dicen qué evento concluyó la historia.
También, para enriquecer nuestra narración, tenemos recursos
como las expresiones “was/were going to” y “was/were
supposed to”, que nos hablan de cosas que se esperaban que
se llevaran a cabo o que se planificaron en el pasado, pero al
final no se van a realizar en el futuro.
Por último aprenderemos algunos conceptos de pronunciación
que mejorarán nuestras habilidades conversacionales.
Ahora, gracias por escucharme y comencemos a aprender de
este nuevo componente.
