THURSDAY: A VISIT TO ASIA.
She went to Asia with her mother. They were going to fly
to Hong Kong. After staying at Hong Kong for three nights,
they would travel on their cruise ship to Shanghai and
Beijing. Anyway, we will see the big wall, Tiananmen
Square and the forbidden city. It's going to be so cool! She
told her neighbor Jane. From China, the cruise ship would
go to Pusan in South Korea and finally in Tokyo. "The trip
will last three weeks. It will only cost $ 2,800 each, if we
control our desire to make purchases," she ri. "I hope your
trip is more fun than mine was," Jane said. They gave us a
reduction that we could use for a future trip. "Mom and I

surgical masks with us."
MONDAY: HAS/HAVE.
Presente simple
En este momento, el verbo HAVE tiene dos conjugaciones:
HAVE o HAS.
HAVE se usa con los siguientes pronombres personales: I,
You, We, They. Ejemplos:
-Dinner at 8 pm on Saturdays.
-You have the best collection of British music.
-We always have tea after lunch.
-They have a new pool.
HAS is used with the third person singular in English; that
is to say, the pronouns: He, She, It (animal, thing or
place). Examples:
-He has some interesting paintings in his living room.
-She has 4 brothers, 3 sisters and 4 cousins.
-My city has a few tall buildings downtown.
This difference in the present simple only applies
to sentences in the affirmative. It does not apply to
interrogative or negative sentences.
Present perfect simple or continuous
As in the previous explanation, the difference in the use of
HAVE and HAS depends on the pronoun we are using:
HAVE (They, We, You, I) and HAS (It, She, He)
In the present perfect, the translation changes
significantly. This is because in the present simple HAVE
and HAS is a verb that can mean: Have, Possess, among
others. On the other hand, in the present perfect HAVE
and HAS is an auxiliary that means: he, you, he, we, you,
you. Examples:
-Have I have learned 2 languages this year.
-You have improved your dancing skills.
-We have come to visit an old friend.
-They have lived here in Boston since they got married.
Has
Has worked in the factory for 3 months.
You have bought a new pair of red shoes.
It has been snowing for 2 weeks.
In the present perfect simple and present perfect
continuous the difference applies to affirmative sentences
(as in the examples above), interrogative and negative
sentences. Examples:
Questions:
Have you read 5 books this month?
Have you read 10 books this year?
Negative:
He hasn't cleaned his old guitar.
TUESDAY: DESCRIBING PEOPLE.
The description of a person is not only based on their
physique, but also on what they do or what clothes they
wear on their body.
I love you. I want to marry you. I want to be with you for the rest
of my life. You are the most wonderful woman I have ever met.
You are not a "load." You are not a "troublemaker."
We are not a bad "fit." We are a perfect match. I do not look down
on you. I look up to you. I admire you. I think you are smart,
brave, and independent. Don't tell me to go find another woman. I
don't want another woman. I have found the perfect woman.
Every day, I think about your beautiful smile, your happy laugh. I
think about the long walks we used to take, holding hands all the
way. Remember how we used to sit on the grass in the park and
watch the parrots?
"But you told me it was okay to call up Carol," said Gary. "I asked
you if it was okay to talk to her, because it was her birthday and
I've wished her a happy birthday every year for the last 10 years."
"But you had already promised me that you would never call her
again. You promised me that. So, you lied to me."
"But I had forgotten that I told you that. You know that I forget
things. I'm not going to argue with you; you have a memory like
an elephant. But you've got to believe me, I completely forgot. And
more important, Carol is just a friend."
"But I'm not in love with her. She can love me all she wants, but
I'm not in love with her. I never was!"
"Well, you say that. Maybe it's true. Maybe it isn't. But the
important thing is that you never know what the future will bring.
You say that nothing will happen between you and her, but you
don't know that for sure, because you don't know the future."
"Yes, you're right. No one knows the future. I could fall in love
with her again, and she and I might run off and get married and
have nine or ten kids."
