Review – Unit 1 This is a guideline to help you revise the contents of unit 1.

For each item of

grammar or vocabulary, choose at least one strategy.

Present Simple
➢ Write sentences using Present Simple. The sentences can both be positive and negative.

➢ Play the role of interviewer and interviewee! Write questions about familiar topics
using Present Simple. Then, answer those questions as if you were an interviewee. You
can write the answers and/or speak them.

➢ Make your own grammar exercises on Present Simple. Examples of grammar exercises
are:
a. Gap-fill: Write sentences but leave a blank space (gap) in each. The gap must be
completed by the correct form of the verb in Present Simple.

b. Spot the mistake: Write sentences with mistakes in them. Then, mark the mistakes
and correct them as if you were the teacher.

c. Word order in questions: Write questions in Present Simple and scramble the words.

Passive Voice

➢ Write riddles (adivinanzas) describing different objects. Example: They are made of
paper. They are usually bought by tourists. They are used for showing the way to a
particular destination. (word: maps).

➢ Make your own grammar exercises. (Same exercises as for Present Simple).

Adverbs of Frequency

➢ Think about you and your family. Write sentences saying how often you do different
activities.

➢ Word Order: write sentences with frequency adverbs. Then, scramble the words.
Finally, order them to form correct sentences.

Vocabulary of Relationships (friendships, family, family history)

➢ Write definitions for words and phrases. You can consult a dictionary or the materials if
you need, but DO NOT copy definitions. Write your own.

➢ Write sentences illustrating the meaning of words and phrases.

➢ Play the role of interviewer and interviewee! Write questions and answer them. Use
the vocabulary in either the questions or the answers.

➢ Vocabulary grouping: group words or phrases according to topic or part of speech

(noun, adjective, verb, adverb, preposition).

➢ Make a list of words you find difficult to remember, use or understand.

Sequencing expressions (first, then, the next stage, finally, etc.)

➢ Write sentences describing a process you are familiar with. In each sentence, leave a
blank space. Then, scramble the sentences. Finally, order them and complete the blank
spaces with sequencing expressions.

➢ Group the sequencing expressions according to similar meaning.
