In this module we will be able to demonstrate the phenomenon of globalization, understood as a historical process, which has
made of global integration in the economic, political, technological, social and cultural fields, which has made the world an
increasingly interconnected place. Economic globalization has been and is a phenomenon that inevitably influences the different
areas of daily life of the inhabitants of a nation, presenting favorable and unfavorable effects.
(En este módulo podremos evidenciar el fenómeno de la globalización, entendida ésta como un proceso histórico de integración mundial en
los ámbitos económico, político, tecnológico, social y cultural, que ha convertido al mundo en un lugar cada vez más interconectado. La
globalización económica ha sido y es un fenómeno que influye inevitablemente en los distintos ámbitos de la vida diaria de los sujetos
habitantes de una nación, presentando efectos favorables y no favorables).

Thus, in this guide you will be able to recognize information about buying habits and traditions typical of Colombia and some
countries, consumption needs and practices. The above will allow you to value the Colombian culture, but at the same time
recognize that it is inevitable that, with the advent of new customs and new ideas of different parts of the world, the
characteristic culture of our country is influenced. The cultures of other countries may be different from ours, but it is important
to always respect other cultures.
(Así pues, en esta guía podrás reconocer información sobre hábitos y tradiciones de compra propias de Colombia y algunos países,
necesidades y prácticas de consumo. Lo anterior te permitirá valorar la cultura colombiana, pero a la vez reconocer que es inevitable que, al
advenir nuevas costumbres y nuevas ideas de diferentes partes del mundo, la cultura característica de nuestro país resulta influenciada. Las
culturas de otros países pueden ser diferentes a la nuestra, pero es importante respetar siempre las demás culturas).

Now, that you have answered the question, I invite you to check your answer.
(Ahora, que ya respondiste la pregunta, te invito a verificar tu respuesta).

The Present Perfect Tense is a verbal tense that, as we saw in the third term, we use to talk about something that happened in the
past, but has relevance in the present, either because it happened very recently or because it is an action that has not yet finished.
(El Tiempo Presente Perfecto, es un tiempo verbal que como ya lo vimos en el tercer período, usamos para hablar de algo que sucedió en el
pasado, pero tiene relevancia en el presente, ya sea porque ocurrió hace muy poco tiempo o porque es una acción que aún no ha finalizado).

Look at the grammar chart on the formation of the Present Perfect and you will see that the correct Answer is b, since in this the
auxiliar have is being used followed by the past participle tried of the main verb.
(Observa el cuadro gramatical sobre la formación del Presente Perfecto y podrás comprobar que la respuesta correcta es la b, ya que en ésta
Se está utilizando el auxiliar have seguido del participio pasado tried del verbo principal).

Reporter: Hello. One of our favourite hobbies is shopping for clothes, music, and accessories.
Although some people spend sensibly, some buy things just to impress other people. We often
buy more than we need, and we often don’t use the things we buy. So, we interviewed some
shoppers in our nearest mall and asked them why they think we buy more things than we need.

2 . Read the rest of the report and write S1 (shopper 1), S2 (shopper 2) or S3 (shopper 3), as they answer the
question: Why do we buy more things than we need? There is an extra answer.
(Lee el resto del informe y escribe S1 (comprador 1), S2 (comprador 2) o S3 (comprador 3), según respondan a la pregunta:
¿Por qué compramos más cosas de las que necesitamos? Hay una respuesta adicional).

Reporter: And do you really need a new watch? reasons. The first reason is that shopping makes us

shopping for today?
Shopper 3: No, I haven’t. I’ve already bought some
perfume, but I still need to get a book.
Reporter: Can you tell me why you think we buy
more stuff than we need?
Shopper 3: Oh wow, what a difficult question. I
think that maybe advertising controls our minds.
Every day advertising on TV or the radio sends us
messages to buy things, and we believe what they
say and buy what they sell. I haven’t really thought
about this much, but I know I sometimes buy things
I don’t really need.

Adverbs of manner

Adverbs of manner tell us how someone behaves or does something,

and are usually formed by adding -ly to an adjective (e.g., foolish, foolishly).
They usually come either after the main verb or after the object in a sentence.
(Los adverbios de modo nos dicen cómo alguien se comporta o hace algo,
y generalmente se forman agregando-ly a un adjetivo. (Ejemplo: foolish=tonto
fooloshly=tontamente). Por lo general, vienen después del verbo principal o
después del objeto en una oración).

2. Read this Blog post about foolish shoppers. Focus attention on the adverbs of manner that appear in the
blog post (carelessly, extravagantly, irresponsibly and responsibly) and find their meaning.
(Lee esta publicación de blog sobre compradores tontos. Centra la atención en los adverbios de modo que aparecen en
la publicación de blog (carelessly, extravagantly, irresponsibly and responsibly) y encuentra su significado.

(Utiliza el cuestionario para entrevistar a un compañero de clase y saber si es un comprador compulsivo).

4. Have you ever wasted your money? Use the expressions in the example and the Word Bank to justify your
spending to a partner. Then, as a class, discuss spending habits using information from exercises 2 and 3.
(¿Alguna vez has malgastado tu dinero? Utiliza las expresiones del ejemplo y del banco de palabras para justificar tu gasto
a un compañero. Luego, como clase, discute los hábitos de gasto utilizando la información de los ejercicios 2 y 3).

5. Look at the list of how Colombian teenagers spend their money. Now, make a list for yourself. Order it from 1
(the product you buy the most) to 5 (the product you buy the least).

(Mira los ejemplos y escribe una nota de autorreflexión sobre cómo has gastado tu dinero durante tu vida).
 Group work. (Trabajo en equipo)

1. In groups, design a questionnaire to ask students five questions about their shopping habits. (For an example
of a questionnaire, see exercise 2). Use these prompts:
(En grupos, diseña un cuestionario para hacer a los estudiantes cinco preguntas sobre sus hábitos
de compra. (Para un ejemplo de un cuestionario, ver ejercicio 2). Utiliza estas indicaciones):

a. you / ever / buy / useless items / in your life?

e. you / ever / save / money to buy presents for your family?
