entrance. Here, people pay $17 and they get
a warm jacket with a hat, some gloves and shoes to

this room for several minutes, so they can adjust to
the low temperature. Finally, they enter the restaurant.

Hi Rose,
How are you? We’re fine and we’re having a great holiday. We saw some
extraordinary sculptures yesterday. Some of the sculptures stand on a pin!
Can you imagine that?
Willard Wigan, the sculptor, makes very small sculptures. In the attachment,
you can see Wigan’s sculpture of Bart and Homer Simpson. It’s very, very
small, so you need to look at it through a microscope. Wigan’s sculptures are
very difficult to make because he mustn’t move his body while he is working.
He even controls the movement of his heart with meditation. He uses a
paintbrush with only one hair to paint the sculptures and he works on each
one for months. We saw miniature sculptures of the Statue of Liberty and
Elvis Presley.
In 2007, a famous tennis player bought some of Wigan’s sculptures for
£11 million. That’s a lot of money for these miniatures.
Mum is resting right now. She sends her love.
Speak to you soon.
Love,
Dad

The Story of a Fashion Company

The story of Benetton is the story of one family’s determination. Leone Benetton
and his family lived in Treviso, Italy. Leone wanted his son, Luciano, to become a
doctor. But in 1945, Leone died and the family was very poor. Ten-year-old
Luciano couldn’t go to school. He had to work – so he sold newspapers.
Luciano’s sister, Giuliana, made beautiful sweaters with bright colours. Luciano
had an idea – he could sell Giuliana’s sweaters. He rode around the town on his
bicycle, selling her sweaters. Their brothers joined them, and so the company
Benetton was born.
In 1960, Luciano went to Rome to sell his sister’s sweaters. He sold so many that
the family decided to open a factory. Four years later, the Benetton factory
produced 100,000 fashionable sweaters a month. In 1969, the family opened a
trendy shop in Paris – the first of many new shops in Europe.
In 50 years, the name Benetton became a world symbol for the latest fashions.
Today, Benetton is famous not only for sweaters but also for different types of
clothes, sunglasses, watches, handbags, shoes and cosmetics.

U SING Y OUR B LADES

Have you ever thought about rollerblading as a form
of transport?
We all know rollerblading is a very popular sport and
people usually rollerblade at weekends. They skate in
parks, near beaches and in other empty spaces.
But some people have decided to use their rollerblades
to go to school, to university or to work. I use mine to
get from place to place quickly. The nice thing about
rollerblading is you can hang your skates over your
shoulder and get on the nearest bus or train.
In Europe, many large cities have got Blade Night –
a night in the week when rollerbladers meet to skate.
I was in Munich, Germany three months ago and on
Blade Night, there were thousands of people skating.
It was really exciting.
I read an article in the newspaper about a wedding on
rollerblades. A couple in China got married wearing
their rollerblades. After the wedding, they skated to
the reception lunch with their family and friends
following them on rollerblades. The police stopped
the cars to allow the wedding party to skate past safely.
I think that’s cool!

Contrast entre el Present Simple i el Present Continuous
El Present Simple parla d’accions habituals mentre que el Present Continuous indica allò que està passant en el
moment en què es parla.

(Normalment faig pots de ceràmica però ara estic fent una escultura.)
Recorda que les expressions temporals ajuden a distingir un temps verbal de l’altre.
Els verbs ”estàtics”
Utilitzem els verbs estàtics per expressar sentiments, gustos i desitjos. Fan referència a estats, en lloc d’accions,
per això no s’acostumen a utilitzar en la forma progressiva.

El Past Simple
El Past Simple s’utilitza per expressar accions que van tenir lloc en el passat i per explicar històries. Per això

try ➝ tried cry ➝ cried
• Si és d’una síl·laba i acaba en 1 vocal + 1 consonant que no sigui w o x, es dobla la consonant:
plan ➝ planned stop ➝ stopped però fix ➝ fixed

prefer ➝ preferred però listen ➝ listened
• Si acaba en una l, la dobla:
travel ➝ travelled

El Present Perfect Simple

El Present Perfect Simple s’utilitza per parlar de:
• accions passades els efectes de les quals són visibles en el present.

• accions que han tingut lloc al llarg del temps sense dir quan.
Mary has read many books. (La Mary ha llegit molts llibres.)
• accions que van començar en el passat i encara continuen. Per això, de vegades es tradueix el verb en present.
I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday. (No he menjat res des d’ahir. / No menjo res des d’ahir.)
• accions que acaben de tenir lloc. Llavors s’afegeix just entre l’auxiliar i el participi.

Aquest temps es fa amb have o has + el participi del verb principal (acabat en -ed si és regular). Cal recordar que

En interrogativa es posa have o has + el subjecte + el participi, i a les respostes breus només es posa el pronom
