FEELINGS
PREGUNTA GENERADORA: Por qué son importantes las emociones y los sentimientos, cree que es
importante expresarlas?
CONCEPTUALIZACION:
FORMACIÓN PARA LA VIDA:
Los estudiantes deberán leer uno de los clásicos de la literatura, “El patito feo” y con base en
la historia y el tema visto: feelings, tendrán que hacer una lista de valores relacionando estas dos
temáticas. Con base en los sentimientos y en la historia, los estudiantes harán de manera creativa
una presentación en inglés a sus compañeros de colegio sobre la importancia de prevenir el bulling.
Once upon a time down on an old farm, lived a duck family, and Mother Duck had been sitting
on a clutch of new eggs. One nice morning, the eggs hatched and out popped six chirpy ducklings.
But one egg was bigger than the rest, and it didn´t hatch. Before she had time to think about it,
the last egg hatched.
A strange looking duckling with gray feathers that should have been yellow gazed at a worried
mother. The ducklings grew quickly, but Mother Duck had a secret worry.
- "I can´t understand how this ugly duckling can be one of mine!" she said to herself
Well, the gray duckling certainly wasn´t pretty. As the days went by, the poor ugly duckling
became more and more unhappy because his brothers didn´t want to play with him.
He felt sad and lonely. He secretly wept at night. He felt nobody wanted him.
-"Nobody loves me, they all tease me! Why am I different from my brothers?"
Then one day, at sunrise, he ran away from the farmyard. He stopped at a pond and began to
question all the other birds.
-"Do you know of any ducklings with grey feathers like mine?"
But everyone shook their heads in scorn.
- "We don´t know anyone as ugly as you."
The ugly duckling did not lose heart, however, and kept on making inquiries.
He fled as far away as he could, and at dawn, he found himself in a thick bed of reeds.
-"If nobody wants me, I´ll hid here forever."
There was plenty a food, and the duckling began to feel a little happier, though he was lonely.
One day at sunrise, he saw on a pond a group of beautiful birds. White, with long slender
necks, yellow beaks and large wings.
- "If only I could look like them, just for a day!" said the duckling, admiringly.
Finally he got the courage to fly to the pond, where the beautiful birds were swimming. That
was when the duckling saw himself mirrored in the water.
- "Goodness! How I´ve changed! I hardly recognize myself!"
When the beautilf birds saw him, they realized he was one of their kind, and soon made
friends.
-"We´re swans like you!" they said, warmly.
-"Where have you been hiding?"
-"It´s a long story," replied the young swan, still astounded.
Now, he swam majestically with his fellow swans.
One day, he heard children on the river bank exclaim: "Look at that young swan! He´s the
finest of them all!" And he almost burst with happiness.
WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?
THE ARTICLE
BNE: Australians are the happiest people in the world. This is according to a new survey from
the market research company GfK NOP. Interviewers asked 30,000 people in 30 different countries
about their levels of happiness. Forty-six percent of Australians said they were “very happy”. Following
them was the USA (40 percent), Egypt (36 percent), India (34 percent) and the UK and Canada (32
percent). Hungary finished top of the “miserable” list. Thirty-five percent of its citizens said they were
“very unhappy”. Second most miserable were Russians, at 30 percent.
The research showed that money and age affected how happy people are. The study did not
show that money can buy happiness, but it did reveal a link between a lack of money and
unhappiness. Unhappier people were in lower income groups or unemployed. The study also
suggested the older we become, the less happy we are. Globally, teenagers are the happiest people.
The least happy age group is 50-59 – only 16 percent of those in their fifties said they were very
happy. The things that make us happy include good health, financial security and a happy marriage,
not cars and clothes.
1. READING COMPREHENSION- TRUE / FALSE: Look at the article’s headline and guess
whether these sentences are true (T) or false (F):
3. HAPPY OPINIONS: Do you agree with these opinions on happiness? Talk about them with
your partner(s).
a. Money makes you happy.
b. The older you become, the happier you are.
c. You can take lessons on how to be happy.
d. Men are happier than women.
e. Married people are happier than single people.
f. People in warmer climates are happier than people in colder climates.
g. It’s hard to be happy in today’s world.
h. Every country should have a Minister of Happiness.

1 As an instructor at one of the top universities in the Asia-Pacific region, I have some
really smart students. One of my smartest students ever is in my current essay writing class. Her
name is Esther. Last week, the deadline for submission of final assignments for my essay was Friday,
and I was surprised and disappointed when, at five p.m., the only student who had not submitted her
5
assignment was Esther. I tried calling her, but she was out.
Next morning, I did what most Internet addicts do on first getting up – I checked my e-
mail. There was Esther’s assignment, sent as an e-mail attachment. Received at 11:59 p.m. She has a
great sense of timing, Esther. I used the ‘insert comment’ function of Microsoft Word to embed
1 extensive comments on her assignment, and, resisting the temptation to mark her down for the
0 anxiety she had caused, gave her a well-deserved ‘A’. I returned her assignment electronically, and an
hour or so later received a message from her thanking me for the comments and the grade.
A student in the same section, although not in the same grade as Esther, also submitted
his assignment as an e-mail attachment. This student (let’s call him Luke) is considerably weaker than
Esther. I was therefore astonished when I opened the e-mail attachment and found an essay far
1
5 more elegantly crafted than anything Luke had ever produced for me before. It was clear that
someone else had written the piece. However, when I confronted Luke he was adamant – of course it
was his own work! He even managed to look hurt at the implication that someone else had written it.
I showed the essay to a colleague who immediately recognised it as a piece from the
World Wide Web. He downloaded and printed a copy for me which I included, along with the URL, in a
2 message to Luke. Next morning, he was outside my office waiting, shamefaced, to apologise.
0 These two stories illustrate two of the ways that the Internet is transforming my
5
teaching. I’m sure that many readers have similar stories. If the Internet has not yet touched you on
your teaching, it’s a reasonable bet that it will do so in the not too distant future.

USO DE WILL
"Will" es un modal auxiliar. Significa que combina con el infinitivo de los verbos no-modales
(en muchos casos para expresar el futuro). "Will" no es variable. No cambia con las distintas
personas.
Tiene una forma contraída " 'll ", la cual se utiliza en los textos escritos menos formales y en
el inglés hablado:
Sujeto + will + infinitivo (sin "to").
Ejemplos:
I will see my friends next week. (Veré a mis amigos la semana que viene.)
He will get ill if he doesn't eat properly. (Se pondrá enfermo si no come bien.)
John and Mary will get married soon. (John y Mary se casarán pronto.)
USO DE WOULD
Uno de los usos de would es para expresar deseos, cosas que nos gustaría que ocurrieran.
Para ello, pondremos un infinitivo precedido de ‘to’ justo detrás de ‘would like’.
Sujeto + would/wouldn’t + like + infinitivo con ‘to’ + (Complemento)
Ejemplos
He would like to be a doctor – A él le gustaría ser médico
I woud like to have a bigger flat– Me gustaría tener un apartamento más grande
