My Education Plans
Recently, I began taking a special training course. In the course, I'll learn what to say
during a job interview. When the course ends next month, I'm going to apply for a full-
time job at a department store. If they hire me, I'll be able to earn a
good salary and make extra money working overtime, too.
I plan to save money and study at a university in a couple of years. Some of my
friends aren't planning to study, but I think it's important to go. It's not enough just to
have a high-school education.
When I was in high school, I had to learn many subjects I didn't like. But when I go to
study at the university, I'll be able to choose the courses I want. I'm interested in
learningbusiness. Maybe one day I'll have my own company. Then, I can
interview people and givethem jobs!
Planeo ahorrar dinero y estudiar en una universidad en un par de años. Algunos de mis
amigos no planean estudiar, pero creo que es importante ir. No es suficiente tener una
educación secundaria.
Cuando estaba en la escuela secundaria, tuve que aprender muchas materias que no me
gustaban. Pero cuando vaya a estudiar a la universidad, podré elegir los cursos que quiero.
Estoy interesado en aprender negocios. Tal vez algún día tenga mi propia compañía.
¡Entonces, puedo entrevistar a la gente y darles trabajo.

-Well, I was able to stop, but the other driver wasn't.

I'm in London on business. I plan to choose a location for another T-shirt factory near

sites such as the Kanheri caves that served as a center for Buddhism in western India
during ancient times. Its architectural features include a variety of European
influences, such as the German gables, the Dutch roofs, the Swiss formwork, the
romantic arches. , Tudor frames and traditional characteristics of India. Well soon we'll

I made a reservation at Prima Vera Restaurant as soon as I heard about it. I was
expecting Prima Vera to be a very special place, and I was looking forward
to eating there. I came on time for my 1 p.m. reservation, but I had to wait forty-
five minutes!The manager didn't even apologize. While I was waiting, I looked
at Prima Vera'smenu. What prices! Strawberries and cream cost $15! Finally, my
table was ready, but it was dirty. The rolls weren't fresh, and the grilled fish was
cold. "Perhaps the desserts are better," I thought. I ordered a slice of chocolate
nut cake. While I was eating it, I broke a tooth! I found a small stone in the
cake! I complained to the waiter, and phoned my insurance company.
Hice una reserva en el restaurante PrimaVera tan pronto como me enteré. Esperaba que
Prima Vera fuera un lugar muy especial, y estaba deseando comer allí. Llegué a tiempo
para mi 1 p.m. Reserva, pero tuve que esperar cuarenta y cinco minutos! El gerente ni
siquiera se disculpó. Mientras esperaba, miré el menú de Prima Vera. ¡Qué precios! Las
fresas y la crema cuestan $ 15! Finalmente, mi mesa estaba lista, pero estaba sucia. Los
rollos no estaban frescos, y el pescado a la parrilla estaba frío. "Quizás los postres son
mejores", pensé. Pedí una rebanada de pastel de chocolate y nueces. Mientras lo comía, me
rompí un diente! ¡Encontré una pequeña piedra en el pastel! Me quejé al camarero y llamé a
mi compañía de seguros.
Oyentes, ¡no vayan al restaurante Prima Vera! Comer en casa. ¡Te prometo que lo
disfrutarás mucho más!

USE:
We use the Past Simple to talk about a completed action in the past. We use the
Past Progressive to talk about an action that continued over a period of time in the
past.
We can also use the Past Simple and the Past Progressive together in the same
sentence, to show that one short action or event happened during a longer action
or event. If we mention the shorter action first, we usually join the two parts of
the sentence together with WHILE.
EXAMPLES:
"Tom arrived while we were talking about him."
"She came in while I was doing my homework."
If we mention the longer action first, we usually join the two parts of the sentence
together with WHEN.
EXAMPLES:
"We were talking about Tom when he arrived."
"I was doing my homework when she came in."
UTILIZAR:
Usamos el Pasado simple para hablar sobre una acción completada en el pasado. Usamos el
Pasado Progresivo para hablar sobre una acción que continuó durante un período de tiempo
en el pasado.
También podemos usar Pasado simple y Pasado progresivo juntos en la misma oración,
para mostrar que una acción o evento corto ocurrió durante una acción o evento más largo.
Si mencionamos la acción más corta primero, generalmente unimos las dos partes de la
oración junto con WHILE.
EJEMPLOS:
"Tom llegó mientras estábamos hablando de él".
"Ella entró mientras yo estaba haciendo mi tarea".
Si mencionamos la acción más larga primero, generalmente unimos las dos partes de la
oración junto con CUANDO.
EJEMPLOS:
"Estábamos hablando de Tom cuando llegó".
"Estaba haciendo mi tarea cuando entró".
ADVERBS: COMPARISON
USE:
Used to compare two subjects performing the same action. The comparative and
superlative forms of most adverbs are made in the same way as long adjectives:
COMPARATIVE
FORM:
[SUBJECT 1 + VERB + MORE + Adverb + THAN + SUBJECT 2 (+DOES/CAN etc)...]
EXAMPLES:
"I can sing more beautifully than you (can)."
"Ted writes more slowly than Brenda (does)."
SUPERLATIVE
FORM:
[SUBJECT 1 + VERB + THE MOST + Adverb (OF ALL)]
EXAMPLES:
"Of all the students in her class, Sarah does her homework the most carefully."
"Jimmy behaves the most childishly of anyone in the class."
Adverbs which have the same base form as adjectives also have the same
comparative and superlative forms. These are constructed by adding-er (for the
comparative) and -est (for the superlative) to the base form.
EXAMPLES:
Fred can run faster than Martin can, but Sharon runs the fastest."
"My wife got up earlier than I did this morning, but our daughter got up the
earliest."
IRREGULAR COMPARATIVES and SUPERLATIVE FORMS
There are also a small number of irregular comparative and superlative forms of
adverbs:
ADVERBIOS: COMPARACION
UTILIZAR:
Se utiliza para comparar dos sujetos realizando la misma acción. Las formas comparativas
y superlativas de la mayoría de los adverbios se hacen de la misma manera que los
adjetivos largos:
COMPARATIVO
FORMAR:
[TEMA 1 + VERBO + MÁS + Adverbio + QUE + TEMA 2 (+ HACE / CAN etc) ...]
EJEMPLOS:
"Puedo cantar más bellamente que tú".
"Ted escribe más lentamente que Brenda (lo hace)".
SUPERLATIVO
FORMAR:
[TEMA 1 + VERBO + MÁS + Adverbio (DE TODOS)]
EJEMPLOS:
"De todos los estudiantes en su clase, Sarah hace su tarea con mucho cuidado".
"Jimmy se comporta como el más infantil de todos en la clase".
Los adverbios que tienen la misma forma de base que los adjetivos también tienen las
mismas formas comparativas y superlativas. Estos se construyen agregando-er (para el
comparativo) y -est (para el superlativo) a la forma base.
EJEMPLOS:
Fred puede correr más rápido que Martin, pero Sharon corre más rápido ".
"Mi esposa se levantó más temprano que yo esta mañana, pero nuestra hija se levantó más
temprano".
COMPARATIVOS IRREGULARES Y FORMAS SUPERLATIVAS
También hay un pequeño número de formas comparativas y superlativas irregulares de
adverbios:
Alan: John
John: Alan! Were you waiting long?
Alan: No, just a few minutes. How was your flight?

stopover in Bangkok for about an hour.

John: This is it.
Alan: That's it? No luggage. Where are your clothes?
John: The airline lost my suitcase and all of my clothes with it.
Alan: Oh no! Well we'd better get you some clothes today. We have a very
important meeting tomorrow morning.
John: I know. Where can I get a new suit?
Alan: I think I know of a couple of shops nearby. Don't you want to get some
breakfast first?

Alan: Oh!
John: Alan, let's just see about the suit.
Alan: Juan
Juan: Alan! Estabas esperando mucho tiempo
Alan: No, sólo unos minutos. Como estuvo tu vuelo

en Bangkok durante aproximadamente una hora.
Alan: Donde esta tu equipaje
Juan: Eso es todo.
Alan: ¿Eso es? Sin equipaje ¿Dónde está tu ropa?
Juan: La aerolínea perdió mi maleta y toda mi ropa con ella.
Alan: ¡Oh no! Bueno, será mejor que te traigamos algo de ropa hoy. Tenemos una reunión
muy importante mañana por la mañana.
Juan: Lo sé. ¿Dónde puedo conseguir un traje nuevo?
Alan: Creo que sé de un par de tiendas cercanas. ¿No quieres desayunar primero?

Alan: Oh!
Juan: Alan, veamos el traje.
Rita's Trip Abroad
"Ladies and gentlemen, our flight is arriving shortly in Washington, D.C." Rita was
looking out the window. Around her people were talking excitedly. Rita was nervous. It
was not only her first time abroad, but it was also her first time outside her small
village in Mexico. Shewas visiting her aunt and uncle for the summer. She couldn't wait
to go sightseeing. But shewas a little worried about her English. She knew some
English from school, and she hoped it was good enough.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the capital of the United States."
Rita checked to make sure she had everything: her passport, the
immigration form, and her round-trip ticket. She followed the people out of the
plane. She waited with the other foreigners while the immigration officials asked each
person many questions. Rita was nervous, but the immigration officer patiently
repeated each question slowly and clearly.
Rita found her suitcase, and started walking toward the exit. Many people were
waitingoutside. She was looking around, when she suddenly heard someone
shout her name.
"Rita! Rita!" It was her aunt and uncle!
"We're so happy you're here!"
Rita smiled. She knew that she was going to have a good time that summer in
America.
Rita encontró su maleta, y comenzó a caminar hacia la salida. Mucha gente estaba esperando
afuera. Ella estaba mirando a su alrededor, cuando de repente escuchó a alguien gritar su nombre.
Rita sonrió. Ella sabía que iba a pasar un buen rato ese verano en Estados Unidos.

belief, or a threat, etc. about the future. This is why WILL often follows
expressions like "I hope...", "Do you think...", etc.

recuerda quién es.
