Conceptualización: Desarrollo de contenidos y ejemplos
PASSIVE VOICE WITH MODALS
El objetivo de esta lección es que aprendas
a reconocer la voz pasiva en inglés cuando
va acompañada de verbos modales (can,
may, must, etc) y que tengas un manejo
adecuado de su estructura.
Modal Be Past
verb Participle
Pancakes can be made on a stove.
Bikes may be ridden here.
Rules must be respected.
Veamos algunos ejemplos.
The file cannot be saved.
(El archivo no puede ser guardado)
Respect must be earned.
(El respeto debe ser ganado)
GRAMMATICAL FORM
Si observas bien los dos ejemplos
anteriores, te darás cuenta que no es nada
del otro mundo; de hecho, lo único que
cambia es que agregamos el verbo modal
entre el sujeto y el verbo to be.
Este tiempo gramatical tiene tres
estructuras básicas:
_ Afirmativa
A car may be stolen.
(Un carro puede ser robado.)
- Negativa:
CUADERNO INTEGRADO DE TRABAJO
Questions cannot be asked during the
conference.
(No se pueden hacer preguntas durante la
conferencia.)
- Interrogativa:
Could this old bicycle be fixed?
(¿Podría esta vieja bicicleta ser reparada?)
Ahora bien, te preguntarás: ¿Para qué me
sirve usar verbos modales con la voz
pasiva?
La respuesta es muy simple: Los verbos
modales sirven para modificar la intención
de la oración.
No es lo mismo decir:
1) Phones can be used in class.
(Los teléfonos pueden ser usados en
clase).
A decir…
2) Phones must be used in class.
(Los teléfonos deben ser usados en clase).
El ejemplo 1 te da a entender que tienes
permiso de usar tu teléfono si quieres,
mientras el ejemplo 2 te indica que es
obligatorio usar tu teléfono en clase.
Ahora veamos los usos de estos modales.
CAN
"Can" expresa capacidad, posibilidad y
permiso en el presente.
This recipe can be made with margarine.

THE THREE Rs OF THE ENVIRONMENT
People everywhere in the world produce a
lot of rubbish but there is not enough space,
and landfills are filling up quickly. If we want
to save our planet, then the so-called three
Rs are essential for learning how to deal
with the waste we produce. The three Rs
are reduce, reuse, and recycle. Here are a
number of tips on what you can do to save
the environment.
Reduce
A good place to start is by buying things that
don’t have a lot of packaging. Then there
are items you may not use very often, so
you might as well borrow them from
someone instead of buying them.
Nowadays, newspapers can be read online
so buying the paper edition is not
necessary. The same goes for emails and

WEAK
hence it is usually not necessary to print
them out. Generally, the use of electricity
can be greatly reduced by, for example,
turning off lights that are not used.
Reuse
When you go shopping, refuse plastic bags
and bring a bag with you instead. If you’re
not buying a lot, a bag is not necessary to
begin with. Reusable bags should be
heavier and more durable. If you prepare
your lunch at home, put it in a plastic lunch
box. I always keep shoe boxes as they are
great to store stuff. Many cities have
collection points for used clothes. If you
have clothes that are still in good shape,
you can bring them to the collection points
rather than throwing them away.
Recycle
Recycling is a process that makes it
possible to create new products out of old
ones. Paper, aluminum, glass and plastic
can often be recycled.
Glass has been used for thousands of years
and is relatively easy to recycle. Aluminum
can be repeatedly recycled quickly and
easily. Paper is recyclable but it cannot be
recycled forever. The small fibers in paper
eventually become very weak so that they

INSTITUCIÓN EDUCATIVA SIMÓN ARAUJO CUADERNO INTEGRADO DE TRABAJO

can’t be recycled into good paper anymore.
Also, not every type of paper is recyclable
as some high-quality paper is too expensive
to recycle.
READING COMPREHENSION

B. Read the text again. Are the statements
True (T), False (F) or Not Given (N/G)?

Polution and the environment

Pollution is the degradation of natural environment by external substances introduced directly or

indirectly. Human health, ecosystem quality and aquatic and terrestrial biodiversity may be
affected and altered permanently by pollution.

Pollution occurs when ecosystems cannot get rid of substances introduced into the
environment. The critical threshold of its ability to naturally eliminate substances is
compromised and the balance of the ecosystem is broken.

The sources of pollution are numerous. The identification of these different pollutants and their
effects on ecosystems is complex. They can come from natural disasters or the result of human
activity, such as oil spills, chemical spills, nuclear accidents ... These can have terrible
consequences on people and the planet where they live: destruction of the biodiversity,
increased mortality of the human and animal species, destruction of natural habitat, damage
caused to the quality of soil, water and air...

Preventing pollution and protecting the environment necessitate the application of the principles
of sustainable development. We have to consider satisfying the needs of today without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. This means that we should
remedy existing pollution, but also anticipate and prevent future pollution sources in order to
protect the environment and public health. Any environmental damage must be punishable by
law, and polluters should pay compensation for the damage caused to the environment.
