ARIANE ROCKET.
The rocket Ariane, flight 16, a European venture that placed a
commercial observation satellite in orbit about 500 miles above the
Earth in 1986. on feb, 22 1986. Ariane is launched from a site in
South America. On nov. 13, 1986. The next Soyuz launch campaign
for Arianespace's Starsem affiliate has begun with the European
MetOp 1 polar-orbiting meteorological satellite, which is scheduled
to be orbited from Kazakhstan's Baikonur Cosmodrome in July.
This mission - the first of three flights targeted by Starsem in 2006 will use the upgraded Soyuz 2-1a version, which features a larger

payload fairing along with improved launcher navigation accuracy and control
capability.
MetOp 1 will be integrated in the Soyuz-ST's enlarged payload fairing, which has
an external diameter of 4.1 meters and a length of 11.4 meters.
The ST-type fairing enables Soyuz launchers to accommodate large
meteorological satellites such as MetOp 1, as well as medium-class GTO
telecommunications spacecraft on a dedicated launch, or payloads in a multiplemanifest configuration for missions to low Earth orbit, medium orbit, Sunsynchronous orbit and escape missions.
The MetOp 1 satellite arrived at Baikonur Cosmodrome in April, and was moved
into Starsem's state-of-the-art payload preparation facilities at the launch site.
With a launch mass of just over 4,000 kg., MetOp 1 builds on the heritage gained
from Europe's successful series of meteorological and Earth observation
satellites, including SPOT, ERS and Envisat - all of which were launched by
Arianespace
on
Ariane
vehicles.
The MetOp 1 spacecraft was built by EADS-Astrium, and carries a total of 12
instruments that were developed in cooperation with the French CNES national
space agency and the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA).
Developed by the European Space Agency for EUMETSAT (the European
Organization for the Exploitation of Meteorological Satellites), MetOp 1 will
operate from an altitude of about 837 km., providing data of unprecedented
accuracy to improve global weather forecasting and provide enhanced climate
monitoring capabilities.

READING STRATEGIES
There are different styles of reading for different situations. The technique you
choose will depend on the purpose for reading. For example, you might be reading
for enjoyment, information, or to complete a task. If you are exploring or reviewing,
you might skim a document. If you're searching for information, you might scan for a
particular word. To get detailed information, you might use a technique such as SQ4R.
You need to adjust your reading speed and technique depending on your purpose.
Many people consider skimming and scanning search techniques rather than reading
strategies. However when reading large volumes of information, they may be more
practical than reading. For example, you might be searching for specific information,
looking for clues, or reviewing information.
Web pages, novels, textbooks, manuals, magazines, newspapers, and mail are just a
few of the things that people read every day. Effective and efficient readers learn to
use many styles of reading for different purposes. Skimming, scanning, and critical
reading are different styles of reading and information processing.
Many people consider skimming and scanning search techniques rather than reading
strategies. However when reading large volumes of information, they may be more
practical than reading. For example, you might be searching for specific information,
looking for clues, or reviewing information.

Linking devices are neither nouns, nor verbs. They provide a text with cohesion
and illustrate how the parts of the text relate to each other. Here are some of the
functions which linking words provide.
Adding extra information to the main point, contrasting ideas, expressing cause
and effect, showing exactly when something happened (narrating), expressing
purpose (why?) and opinion, listing examples, making conclusions and giving
emphasis.

_________ Fatty foods contribute to obesity they should not be sold in the school
canteen. It is well known that obesity creates major health problems.
__________, a New Zealand research found children's weight is changing: "The
study found an increase in the number of obese children from 2.4 per cent in
1989 to 9.1 per cent in 2000. The number of those classed as overweight had
gone up from 11 per cent to 20.9 per cent." Who can refute these figures?
__________ Why is the school canteen still selling food that is high in both fat
and sugar? Other schools aren't. One school in the same area now only sells
thirty pies a day compared to the thousand they sold before introducing healthy
foods. Is it not possible for our school to do the same?
___________ the school should display a social conscience by promoting
healthy foods. Profiteering from selling junk foods to students is just not
acceptable. ___________, the school has a moral obligation to look after their
students. It is in students best interests to sell them healthy alternatives for lunch
that are low in fat, sugar and salt rather than the junk food currently sold. What is
wrong with selling pizza's rather than pies? The school can still make a profit.
Eating foods high in sugar can be disruptive to learning. It is often said that sugar
gives you energy, __________ this is only partly true. Researchers, in America,
found that coca cola spiked a person's energy levels almost immediately,
__________ after approximately a minute and a half their energy dropped to a
much lower level. ___________, sugar does not really give you energy.
__________, students' work levels may drop off because they feel tired.
__________, teachers have reported that some students are hyperactive after
lunch. Often, it is those students who have eaten doughnuts, chocolate, or had
fizzy drinks all of which have been bought from the school canteen.

Prefixes and Suffixes


Using context clues is one way to discover the meaning of an unfamiliar word.
Another way is word analysis that is, looking at the meaning of parts of words.
Many English words have been formed by combining parts of older English,
Greek, and Latin words. If you know the meanings of some of these word parts,
you can often guess the meaning of an unfamiliar English word, particularly in
context.
For example, report is formed from re-, wich means back, and-port, wich means
carry. Scientist is derived from sci-, wich means know, and -ist, wich means one
who. Re and ist are called affixes, that is, word parts that are attached to seems.
Affixes like re, wich are attached to baginnings of stems, are called prefixes.

Gua Didctica

Ingles 5

Sistema Abierto de Educacin Tecnolgica Agropecuaria

28

Affixes attached to the end, like ist, are called suffixes. Generally, prefixes
change the meaning of a word, and siffixes change its part of speech.
New words can be formed in English by adding prefixes to other words. If you
add them to other words they change the meaning.
Organize
Copy
Standard

Reorganize
Miscopy
Substandard

are added to the ends of words. Some suffixes form adjectives which refer to the
characteristic associated with the noun they are related to.
-al

-ary

-atic

-ly

-ish

-able

Sometimes the stress moves in the adjective:


Disciplinary= having the features of discipline.
Programmatic= referring to programmer
A further suffix:
Fortnightly= refers to fortnight
The there is this suffix which allows you to form adjectives from either adjectives
or nouns:
Smallish= fairly small
Foolish= like a fool
