indicates an action which happens in the present, but it isn’t necessary for actions to happen right now. Simple present tense
indicates, unchanging situations, general truths, scientific facts, habits, fixed arrangements and frequently occurring events.
Examples
• Mr. Green works with my uncle
• She reads the newspaper every day
Verb: The verb that goes here is the base form of the infinitive = The infinitive without TO before the verb. Instead of the infinitive To
have it is just the have part.
Remember that the infinitive is the verb before it is conjugated (changed) and it begins with TO. For example: to have, to eat, to go,
to live, to speak etc.

Examples of Questions with Do and Does:
• Does she sing opera?
• Do you eat Chinese food?
• Do they walk every day together?
• Does she work for your father?
• Does he like your new car?
Short Answers with Do and Does
In questions that use do/does it is possible to give short answers to direct questions as follows:
NOTICE
The spelling for the verb in the third person differs depending on the ending of that verb:
1. For verbs that end in -O, -CH, -SH, -SS, -X, or -Z we add -ES in the third person. go –
goes catch – catches wash – washes kiss – kisses fix – fixes
For verbs that end in a consonant + Y, we remove the Y and add -IES. marry – marries
study – studies carry – carries worry – worries
For verbs that end in a vowel + Y, we just add -S. play – plays -enjoy – enjoys.
We use other question words like (Who, What, Why , How much / many, How often etc.) in present tense.
1) Question Words (who, what, why, how much / many, how often etc.) + do / does + subject pronoun (he, she, it, I, you, we,
they) + V1 ( First Form of Verb ).
Examples:
How often does he call you?
Why do you always do this?
How much does it cost?
2) Question Words (who, what, why, etc.) + V1 / V (-s,-es,-ies) + object pronouns ( me, you, him, her, it, us, them).
Examples:
Who gives him a scholarship?
What makes you angry?

Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgwEvMFhy2I
My work is very far from my home, almost 50 miles away. I have to wake up.
2. READING
Going to work in the morning
My job is a long distance from my home, almost 50 miles away. I have to wake
up early every morning, as I’m always in a rush. There’s never enough time
for a relaxed breakfast. At exactly 6:00 AM, I get into my car and start the long
drive. I usually like driving on the highway more than in the city. During the
morning rush hour, though, it’s not very enjoyable. The heavy traffic is a little bit
annoying. So I always listen to my favorite classical music CD’s in the car
– Chopin, Mozart, and Bach. That cheers me up a lot.
The drive to work takes about one hour. Going back home in the evening after
work takes even longer, maybe around 70 minutes. Lately I’ve been thinking about
trying to take the train to work instead of driving. That way, I could still listen to my music with headphones, and even read a novel
at the same time.
A. Read the paragraph and answer the following questions

3. GRAMMAR
Past of Verb To Be
The verb to be is an irregular verb, as can be seen in its forms in the past simple (which can be translated by: I was / was
/ was / was, you were / was / were / were, etc.).
This verb speaks of a state or a situation (for example, how you feel), and can be used to describe things. When you use it in the
past tense you need to make sure you use the forms that we have shown you in the previous table, and not the infinitive "be".
For example:
Affirmative
There was a concert last night.
There were three parties last night.
Negative
There wasn’t a good teacher in my school.
There weren’t any chairs in the room.

3. GRAMMAR
The past continuous tense shows a continuous action that began in the past. It is the past tense version of the present continuous, which
also describes ongoing actions. The present and past continuous are very similar, but the past continuous uses was and were, the past
tense of to be.
Past continuous tense structure
The past continuous tense formula involves the past tense of to be (was or were) and the present participle of the verb, the –ing
form.
Affirmative Form
I was studying in my house.
Keep in mind that you must conjugate to be to match the subject. Use was for first- or third-person singular subjects, such as I, he,
she, or it.
She was working on an email when the fire alarm rang.
The team was playing well until the second half.
Use were for all other subjects, including all plural subjects and the singular second-person subject, you.
You were becoming a great novelist before switching to screenplays.
The days were getting shorter as winter approached.
26
27
Past continuous negative form
To make an affirmative (positive) statement negative, add "not" before the verb + -ing. You can also use a contraction (wasn't /
weren't). We use contractions frequently in spoken English.
Examples:
Questions that can be answered with "yes" or "no" answers are formed by inverting the subject and correct form of the verb "be"
(was / were). (Inverting means we change the order of the subject and verb form:).
Affirmative statement: I was sleeping. (the subject "I" is first, then the verb form "was").
Affirmative question: ¿Was I sleeping? (to make a question, the verb form "was" comes first then the subject "I").
Examples:
Was I snoring?
Was he studying all night again?
Was the baby crying a lot today?
Were we talking too loud last night?
Were we eating lots of candy?
Were they playing nicely today or were they fighting?

The ancient Egyptian engineers planned the pyramids so that there were many rooms and tunnels. It was thought that the pyramid rooms
were for the pharaohs and all of their valuables. The engineers knew that thieves would try to steal the gold and jewels, so they made
traps and false rooms. They put doors which opened onto a wall. But it didn’t stop the thieves as many of the pyramids were robbed.
Anyone who tried to steal from the pyramids was immediately put to death.
The Egyptians believed that people would move on to another life, so they filled the pyramids with many jewels, gold, and even food.
They thought that the pharaoh would need these things in their next life. The body was cleaned and wrapped in bandages to protect it
and put it into a stone case. They also have many of their things buried with them and people drew beautiful pictures on the walls which
told the story of their lives. The ancient Egyptians used a language called ‘Hieroglyphics’ which was a mixture of drawings and signs. So,
we can discover how these kings and queens lived.
The pyramids were built as a resting place and to protect the Kings and queens of Egypt other important people

The Egyptian pyramids are some of the most fascinating structuresin the world.
Although they are popular tourist attractions today, the pyramids were
originally built as tombs for ancient Egyptian
king . At the time, it was customary to mummify dead rulers and bury them with their possessions. However, many pyramids have been
robbed throughout history, and most are empty today. The first known pyramid was built around 2600 B.C, for a king named Djoser. The
largest and most famous Egyptian pyramids – the Great Pyramids of Giza – were built between 2500 and 2400 B.C, and there is still a lot
of mystery surrounding their construction. It would have been very difficult to build such massive structures without modern technology.
Historians believe that at least 20,000workers were needed to complete the Great Pyramids.

Sports and Places
1. WARM UP
2. READING
Motocross or "MX" is a dirt-bike racing sport which riders compete on off-road courses like gravel, mud, or grassy roads. Motocross is
not all about competing with other players since the road itself exhibits huge obstacles to beat. The sport evolved in the United
Kingdom at the beginning of the 20th century from motorcycle trials competitions. It´s very important the use of face helmets will
cover your entire head from all sides. They have a face shield to cover your face from dust, sunlight or rain but most of them are
heavy and reduce your overall dexterity. Full face helmets are the best option for most challenging off-road and motocross courses.
Although motocross is enjoyable in every time of the year, the summer season can be considered as the best time for motocross
since the weather is warm and dry.
a) What do you think about this sport? I think this sport is very fun especially if you like adrenaline
b) What kind of terrain can you practice this sport on? In a rocky terrain and with mountains of sand
c) Where did this sport evolve? Ice diving lasts fifteen minute
d) What do you have to wear to practice this sport? I wear special warm clothes and a diving suit.

powerfull. They help us push our limits, get rid of fear, overcome ourselves and reach new goals. They are without a
doubt, a different way of getting to know oneself better and finding a deep wellbeing.

Superlative Adjectives
A superlative adjective expresses the extreme or highest degree of a quality. We use a superlative adjective to describe the extreme
quality of one thing in a group of things.
We can use superlative adjectives when talking about three or more things (not two things).
In the example below, "biggest" is the superlative form of the adjective "big":
Formation of Superlative Adjectives
As with comparative adjectives, there are two ways to form a superlative adjective:
short adjectives: add "-est"
long adjectives: use "most"
We also usually add 'the' at the beginning.
With some 2-syllable adjectives, we can use "-est" OR "most": bad → the worst

Camping Equipment
If you go camping and want to spend the night in
a tent, you will need certain items.
Today's tents are normally made of nylon, canvas or
other light material. They aren`t the most
expensive at the stores and they are the easiest to
fold together and carry around with you, especially if
you are backpacking. The material has to be
waterproof and is easy to put up. If you want to
sleep in a tent, you will need a sleeping bag. It
protects you from the outside cold and is warmer
than a blanket. Sleeping bags come in different
sizes, colors, and shapes.
Sleeping on the ground isn`t the most comfortable
way. Some campers have foam pads or air
mattresses, which they lie on and it is softer than the
ground. Clothing is an important aspect when you go
on a camping holiday. Be sure to take
clothes with you that will protect you from the sun, rain, and insects. Take along some lightweight trousers, comfortable shoes, and warm
shirts or a jacket for cold evenings. Always carry a raincoat or poncho with you. Hiking boots are good if you walk a lot. You will also need
other everyday items such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, and soap. Take along sunglasses, maps, and a compass or maybe even a GPS
device.
Campers should also have waterproof matches, extra batteries, a knife and a lantern or torch with them.
A. Write T (True) if the statement is correct, F (False) if it is incorrect and DK (Don´t Know) if the information doesn`t appear

3.READING
Aunt Helen`s House
I'm going to tell you about my Aunt Helen's house. It's not her main house,
that's in the city. No, this house is by the lake. There was a small town by the lake
called Miller's Ford, but all the people moved away when the fishing and mining
stopped about sixty years ago. But the houses stayed, of course. My Aunt
Helen uses that house as a vacation home, and she goes there for a few weeks
every year to relax. But staying in that house isn't a relaxing experience. I think
the house is haunted! I think there's a ghost there from many many years ago.
Helen says I'm silly and that I've got an over-active imagination. But there are
many things that happen in that house that cannot be easily explained.
One day, shortly after getting up, I went to find my Aunt Helen to say "good
morning" and I heard her talking in a room that she usually never uses. I think it used to be the nursery of the house when Miller's Ford
was a busy town in the 19th Century. I listened at the door and could hear Helen reading something out, or perhaps she was dictating a
letter. I couldn't hear any other person in the room with her so it wasn't a normal conversation. I didn't want to disturb my aunt, so I went
back downstairs and went to make breakfast in the kitchen, which I ate on the porch that overlooked the lake. It was a beautiful sunny
morning. Half an hour later, I heard my aunt's car arriving. She had been to the local store to buy some bread and milk. I couldn't believe
it!
"What are you looking so shocked for?" she asked me. "I thought you were in the old nursery, working on your letters, Auntie," I
replied. "I never go in that room," she said. "I haven't been in that room for fifteen years." A few other things like that happened over
the next few visits I made to that house and I grew to dislike it very much. Then, one day in my local library, I found a story in an old
newspaper with the title "The Constant Babysitter". The story was that a baby had died in one of the houses by the lake at Miller's Ford
and the babysitter was
blamed, a woman of 37 who was a family friend and had offered to look after the baby. But she spent all her time in the kitchen
writing her letters and didn't know that someone had climbed in the baby's window and taken her. The baby was never found. The woman
killed herself through depression after the baby's disappearance and local people then said her ghost stayed very close to where the baby
was left by the parents - in the nursery. I never went back to that house, despite my Aunt Helen's many invitations.
