VALUES

Name: GINA VÁZQUEZ Class: A2-G14

Write about two different topics you discussed in class in this unit. Include new words,
expressions or concepts your teacher highlighted or recommended during the unit.

TOPIC 1
WOULD YOU DO THE RIGHT THING?
In the class titled "Would You Do the Right Thing?", we explored the concept of ethics in various
situations, focusing on author Philip Pullman's commentary on the illegality of unauthorized
downloading. Throughout the discussion, emphasis was placed on the use of Multi-word verbs,
such as "keep on," "take care of," "hand in," and "put off."
1. Multi-word Verbs:
We directed our attention to the vocabulary of Multi-word verbs to express actions more
precisely. For example:
- Keep on: Despite warnings, some students "keep on" downloading illegally.
- Take care of: It is vital to continue "taking care of" intellectual property to ensure a fair and
equitable environment.
- Hand in: Students should learn the importance of "handing in" their work ethically, without
resorting to illegal downloading.
- Put off: The temptation to download illegally should not "put off" individual responsibility.

2. Present and Future Unreal Conditional:

We explored the use of unreal conditional structures in the present and future to discuss
possible ethical scenarios.
- Present Unreal Conditional: If everyone "did the right thing," respect for intellectual property
would increase.
- Future Unreal Conditional: If people "were to ignore" ethical considerations, the consequences
"would be" detrimental to the creative industries.
3. Grammar:
The use of unreal conditionals in the present and future was highlighted. Additionally, the
importance of constructing grammatically correct sentences when expressing hypothetical
situations was emphasized.
- Correct: If individuals "took care of" intellectual property, the creative industries "would thrive."
- Incorrect: If individuals "takes care of" intellectual property, the creative industries "would
thrive."
In summary, the class addressed ethics in the digital age, emphasizing the importance of using
Multi-word verbs to express actions specifically, employing unreal conditional structures to
analyze potential ethical consequences in the present and future, and paying attention to
grammar to construct sentences correctly. Philip Pullman's commentary served as a starting point
for reflection on the legality and morality of illegal downloading.

TOPIC 2
I‘M TOO EMBARRASSED TO COMPLAIN
In the class titled "I Am Too Embarrassed to Complain," we delved into the phenomenon of
reluctance to complain, focusing on vocabulary related to noun formation. Additionally, we
examined the use of quantifiers "too" and "not enough" in grammar to express dissatisfaction or
discomfort.
1. Vocabulary - Noun Formation:
During the lesson, the significance of expanding vocabulary through noun formation was
emphasized. For example, we looked at how nouns can be formed from adjectives, verbs, and
other words to enrich the expression of ideas. A specific reference was "The Biggest
Complainers in Europe," where we analyzed how specific vocabulary can convey emotional and
cultural nuances in complaining.
Example:
- Adjective: Embarrassed
- Formed Noun: Embarrassment
- Example in Context: She experienced a moment of embarrassment when she realized her
mistake.
2. Grammar - Quantifiers Too/ Not Enough:
In this section, we explored how to use the quantifiers "too" and "not enough" to express levels
of satisfaction or dissatisfaction. We discussed how these grammatical structures are crucial for
conveying the degree of comfort or discontent in various situations.
Examples:
- Use of Too:
- The coffee was too hot to drink.
- He spoke too quickly for me to understand.
- Use of Not Enough:
- There is not enough time to complete the assignment.
- The soup was not hot enough for my liking.
 In conclusion, the topic addressed the importance of effectively expressing complaints through
vocabulary expansion and the precise use of grammatical quantifiers. These elements are
essential for communicating experiences and feelings in a more nuanced and enriched manner.
