Day to day ways to protect our environment

Be mindful of what you throw away. Can it be donated? Can it be saved? Recycled? Composted? The dumpster should be the last resort. So much of what we use can be reused, and not just thrown away. Find out what you can do with all of the things you usually throw out to ensure that you are not wasting things that can be saved. Waste doesn’t magically disappear when you throw it out.
Don't leave chargers plugged in. Another small way to reduce your energy consumption. phone chargers and laptop leads constantly left in the socket will continue to use a small amount of electricity, completely uneccesarily. Take a second to pull them out.
Make sure to turn off the sink when you brush your teeth. You could save five gallons of water a day if you do.
Paying bills onlne instead of on paper. it saves 23 pounds of wood and avoids 29 pounds of greehouse gass emissions per household, every year.

SELF-ASSESSMENT

Now I think I can express myself better, I can explain what I want too, I have learnt a lot of new vocabulary this term, expecially of crimes and I learned how to describe well a picture. Also I learned a lot of things of economy and the conomic sectors. In physical education I improved in badminton and I learned how to do an acrosport coreography. There are things that I like more and less than others and this term I like too much to do Kanya's project with Marina and Eva, because I have learnt many things that I didn't know, and also it wasn't a borring projet. Outaide the English class we have done the project as I thing before, but also we read a book of Marco Polo. I think I have to improve a little of grammar. About culture we have read about some criminals such as Franck Abagnale and David Hampton, and somethings about missunderstandings at travels.

Storytelling 3rd ESO B/C.
  • Once upon a time there was a horse and a dog who where best friends. They lived in a farm and had been together since they were born. The dog's name was Pechu an the horse's name was Leo. Pechu was big and brown, and Leo was white with brown spots. They had been planning to run away because the owner was very cruel with them and wanted to kill Pechu, because he was old and couldn't lead the sheep or protect the house. They decided to do it at night while the man was sleeping. They had planned on meeting in the forest but Leo didn't know that Pechu was locked in his kennel, so he waited and waited but Leo didn't appear so Leo thought that something was wrong so he trotted back as fast as he could...When he got to the house he saw Pechu in the kennel and the man holding an axe; Leo neighed raising his legs and furiously hit the door and broke it. The farmer was so sacred and nervous that he dropped the axe and hid under the table. Leo kicked the kennel so Pechu could got out it. As it was a stormy night, a sudden lighting struck the house and everything burnt. The man managed to scape but Leo and Pechu were long gone so they neversaw him again.

PRESENT SIMPLE/ PRESENT CONTINIOUS

PRESENT SIMPLE


Whe use the Present Simple to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do. Examples:
  • play tennis.
  • She does not play tennis.
  • Does he play tennis?
  • The train leaves every morning at 8 AM.
  • The train does not leave at 9 AM.
  • When does the train usually leave?
  • He never forgets his watch.
  • Every twelve months the Earth circles the Sun.
The Present Simple can also indicate the speaker believes that a fact was true before, is true now, and will be true in the future. It is not important if the speaker is correct about the fact. It is also used to make generalizations about people or things. Examples:
  • Cats like milk.
  • Birds do not like milk.
  • Do pigs like milk?
  • California is in America.
  • California is not in the United Kingdom.
  • Windows are made of glass.
Speakers occasionally use Present Simple to talk about scheduled events in the near future. This is most commonly done when talking about public transportation, but it can be used with other scheduled events as well. Examples:
  • The train leaves tonight at 9 PM.
  • The bus does not arrive at 12 AM, it arrives at 8 PM.
  • When do we board the plane?
  • The celebration starts at 10 o'clock.
  • When does english class begin tomorrow?
Speakers sometimes use the Present Simple to express the idea that an action is happening or is not happening now.
  • am here.
  • She is not here right now.
  • He needs help right now.
  • He does not need help with that.
  • He has his passport in his hand.

PRESENT CONTINIOUS



Use the Present Continuous with normal verbs to express the idea that something is happening now, at this moment. It can also be used to show that something is not happening now. Examples:

  • You are learning English now.
  • You are not swimming now.
  • Are you sleeping?
  • am sitting.
  • am not standing.
  • Is he sitting or standing?
In English, "now" can mean: this second, today, this month, this year, this century, and so on. Sometimes, we use the Present Continuous to say that we are in the process of doing a longer action which is in progress; however, we might not be doing it at this exact second. Examples:
  • am studying to become a dentist?.
  • am not studying to become a doctor?
  • am reading the book Harry Potter.
  • am not reading any books right now.
  • Are you working on any special projects at work?
  • Aren't you teaching at the school now?
Sometimes, speakers use the Present Continuous to indicate that something will or will not happen in the near future. Examples:
  • am meeting some friends after work.
  • I am not going to the party tonight.
  • Is he visiting his parents next weekend?
  • Isn't she coming with us today?
The Present Continuous with words such as "always" or "constantly" expresses the idea that something irritating or shocking often happens. Notice that the meaning is like present simple, but with negative emotion. Remember to put the words "always" or "constantly" between "be" and "verb+ing.". Examples:
  • She is always coming to class late.
  • He is constantly talking.
It is important to remember that noun-continious verbs cannot be used in any continuous tenses. Instead of using Present Continuous with these verbs, you must use present simple. Examples:
  • She is loving this chocolate ice cream. Not Correct
  • She loves this chocolate ice cream. Correct
The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only, never, ever, still, just, etc. Examples:
  • You are still drawing.
  • Are you still drawing?
Active/Passive. Examples:
  • Right now, Tom is writing the letter. Active
  • Right now, the letter is being written by Tom. Passive
