Indicaciones / Dear student,

Instructions The following tasks will help you to reinforce information about the first
topic that we study. Building interaction in the company using simple
grammar structures.
Task 1: Read the following information.

Make a review of the material we studied in class about Day to Day

Work like:

We use some adverbs to describe how frequently we do an activity.

These are called adverbs of frequency and include:

Frequency Adverb of Frequency Example Sentence

100% always I always go to bed before 11pm.

90% usually I usually have cereal for breakfast.

80% normally / generally I normally go to the gym.

70% often* / frequently I often surf the internet.

50% sometimes I sometimes forget my wife's birthday.

30% occasionally I occasionally eat junk food.

10% seldom I seldom read the newspaper.

5% hardly ever / rarely I hardly ever drink alcohol.

0% never I never swim in the sea.

* Some people pronounce the 'T' in often but many others do not.

THE POSITION OF THE ADVERB IN A SENTENCE

An adverb of frequency goes before a main verb (except with To Be).

Subject + adverb + main verb

I always remember to do my homework.

He normally gets good marks in exams.

An adverb of frequency goes after the verb To Be.

 Subject + to be + adverb

They are never pleased to see me.

She isn't usually bad tempered.

When we use an auxiliary verb (have, will, must, might, could, would, can, etc.),
the adverb is placed between the auxiliary and the main verb. This is also true for
to be.

Subject + auxiliary + adverb + main verb

She can sometimes beat me in a race.

I would hardly ever be unkind to someone.

They might never see each other again.

They could occasionally be heard laughing.

We can also use the following adverbs at the start of a sentence: Usually,
normally, often, frequently, sometimes, occasionally

• Occasionally, I like to eat Thai food.

BUT we cannot use the following at the beginning of a sentence: Always,

seldom, rarely, hardly, ever, never.

We use hardly ever and never with positive, not negative verbs:

• She hardly ever comes to my parties.

• They never say 'thank you'.

We use ever in questions and negative statements:

• Have you ever been to New Zealand?

• I haven't ever been to Switzerland. (The same as 'I have never been
Switzerland').

We can also use the following expressions when we want to be more specific
about the frequency: every day - once a month - twice a year - four times a day -
every other week
DAILY ACTIVITIES AT HOME

What are some of the daily activities that you do at home?

I wake up at 7am every morning.

I press the snooze button five times every morning before I turn off the alarm
and get up.
I have a cup of coffee and make breakfast. I usually read the newspaper while
I have breakfast. My children like to have a shower after they have breakfast
but I like to have a shower before I get dressed.
My wife brushes her long hair, and I have short hair so I comb my hair. How do
you do your hair in the morning?
It is important to brush your teeth, and some women like to put make-up on.
After I have finished work, I go home to cook dinner. In my house I usually
make dinner. The family eat dinner together at 7:30pm.
After dinner I make sure that my children do their homework, and then I chill
out on the sofa and watch television.
On television I usually watch the News. My wife usually comes to tell me to take
the rubbish out, or wash the dishes.
Our children feed the dog and the cat before they go to bed and I tell them to
go to the bathroom too.
If I am sick I have to take my medication, but then I get into my pyjamas and
set the alarm so I wake up in the morning.
The last things I do is lock the door, turn off the lights, and go to bed.

DAILY ACTIVITIES AT WORK

What are some daily activities that you do at work?

I go to work at 8.45am every morning.

I usually drive to work.
I always check my emails when I get to work, but I don't always reply to them
immediately.
I take a taxi or a train if I have a lunch meeting. I never take the bus because it
is too slow.
When I am at my desk I usually work on the computer, even during morning
tea.
At 1pm most days I have lunch.
At 3pm we have afternoon tea, and that is when we usually talk and eat cake.
When you are in the office you probably have a lot of papers. It is important for
you to file your papers, and so that you can find them again you need to
organise your files.
When I work I have to make telephone calls. If an important issue happens I ask
my secretary to organise a meeting.
Once a month I report to my boss, but maybe you have to report to your boss
more often. I usually write a document that my boss can read.

What is Electrical Engineering?

Electrical engineering surrounds us everywhere in modern society. The electrical
engineer
supplies us with the ability to harness electricity which has transformed our lives. It gives
us light, heat, entertainment, communication systems and comfort. Electrical engineers
create and design products and information systems using scientific principles combined
with natural curiosity, problem-solving and innovation. It covers a wide range of careers
including energy and power development and supply, automation and communications
engineering, microelectronics and technical informatics.
What do Electrical Engineers do?
Electrical engineers work with electricity in a variety of areas - aircraft and automobiles;
broadcasting and communications systems; lighting and wiring in buildings; machinery
controls; power generating and transmitting; and radar and navigation systems. They
can be involved with the design of new products as well as testing equipment and
solving problems.
Electrical engineering offers a wide range of challenging career paths, including the
following sub-disciplines:
• Power engineering: dealing with the generation, transmission and distribution of
electricity as well as the design of a range of related devices, such as transformers,
electric generators, electric motors and power electronics.
• Control engineering: focusing on the modelling and designing of dynamic control
systems used in, for example, the flight and propulsion of airplanes and the cruise
control present in many modern cars.
• Computer engineering: dealing with the design of computers and computer systems.
• Telecommunications engineering: focusing on the transmission of information across
a channel such as a coax cable, optical fibre or free space.
Career Opportunities of Electrical Engineering
As part of the electrical engineering team, you can play an important role in the future
development of a sustainable environment. There is a wide range of challenging career
paths available and as an electrical engineer, technologist or technician, you can work
for:
• Industrial research and development labs
• Energy supply corporations
• Software and services companies
• Civil service
• Technical monitoring agencies
• Research institutes and educational institutions.
As an electrical engineering graduate you can:
 • Design electrical systems for a wide range of devices including video game consoles
and DVD players.
• Create the systems that can operate industrial robots or control aviation machines.
• Develop the latest in modern applications such as broadband modems or new wireless
technology.
Did you know?
An Irish engineer, Nicholas Callan of Dundalk, invented the induction coil. This forms the
basis for transformers which are used everyday to deliver electricity safely to our homes.
