Reading Activity

After thinking about it, she realizes that her cousin Beatriz had her keys, so she decides
to whatsapp her.

Writing task: WhatsApp one of your colleagues from your
course and try to find a solution! For example you can start
your whatsapp conversation by saying: " Let's try to find a
solution to Emily's problem". Your partner can answer: "I think
that Emily can go to a bar and wait for Beatriz..." //" I don't
agree with you..." and so on!

When you finish, do the following activities and check if you

found the same solution.

Look at the expression "No way!" in the text. How would you translate it in your mother
tongue?

We use "no way" (informal) with different meanings depending on the context.

1) When we refuse to do something; e.g -"Let's go skiing"-> "No way!I hate snow!"

2) When we don't believe what somebody is telling us; e.g -"María is pregnant!" ->
"No way!I thought she didn't like babies!"

Here we are in context number 2. Beatriz can't believe that Emily has got her keys.

Were you right? Look at the rest of the conversation and find the missing words.

1.1 Grammar: Imperatives

In the previous dialogue, somebody gives a NEGATIVE ORDER to the other and
then makes a SUGGESTION. Try to find the "linguistic tool" that Beatriz uses.

To make a negative order Beatriz uses: Don't + be

To make a suggestion, Beatriz uses: Let's + infinitive

So, let's explain how it works ;)

 IMPERATIVES

Enlace a recurso reproducible >>

https://www.youtube.com/embed/ojLG9XrWjKY

Do it yourself

If you want to give a positive order you only use the infinitive.

True False

True

To use the negative imperative, you can say: Do not smoke here!

True False

True

Of course you can! (DON'T is the contraction of DO NOT) It's formal though, in a
casual conversation, you would say: "Don't smoke here!"

When you use an adjective, it is compulsory to use the verb "to be" to make sense.

True False
 True

For positive and negative sentences with an adjective you MUST use the verb "to
be". For example: Be quiet! / Be careful! And the negative: Don't be stupid! / Don't be
afraid!

To make a suggestion, we use "Let's", which is the contraction of LET + US.

True False

True

Let's is the contraction of let + us which means that the person who says te
sentence includes herself/himself in the action.

E.g. Let's go for a beer! ( I mean "me + you").

In the following video, there are some sentences that use the
imperative. Listen to each one of them. Then, try to repeat them one
by one. It is really important to LINK the words while you speak. Try
to recognize the affirmative/negative imperatives.

In your head, think about their meaning. If you are not sure about
what they mean, find out here.

Finally, write down the new words in order to learn their spelling.

1.2 Mum said

Here is a number of orders that parents usually give their children. Try to find the 15

Match each verb with the right noun and give orders!

1. eat
2. take
3. come
4. close
5. use

a. fork
b. vitamins
 c. breakfast
d. back
e. mouth

1.C. Eat your breakfast!

2.B. Take your vitamins!

3.D. Come back here!

4.E. Close your mouth!

5.A. Use your fork!

Do it yourself

Read and complete the two sentences with two more verbs in the picture:

1. up ! The bus is here.

2. Don't forget to !

1. When we ask someone to hurry up, we ask this person to do things faster.

2. We can share many things in life, from a simple meal to our lives themselves!

This exercise was inspired by a video about a woman who wanted to condense every
sentence that a mother says to her children ... in a song! Listen to this song.

Try to recognize the orders from the previous exercise. You need to look at the subtitles.

2. Where are you ?

Focus on

This section is about how to give/receive instructions, how to find a place and
how to tell somebody where you are in town.

Imagen de bluman en Flickr. Licencia CC

First of all, you need to use verbs to express directions.

Imagen de creación propia

Then, you will need connectors to link the instructions.

Now that Emily knows that Beatriz has got her keys, she needs to get them
back!

Emily calls Beatriz to know where she is because she doesn't know how to
get there.

Listen carefully to their conversation. Try to follow the instructions and to

visualize her way. There is a map to help you.
