ReplyDeleteHi chichicos!!
well, my group decided to do a game in which Nissi or Me, will ask to our partners give us a Subject, a verb and a complement. So one of both, Nissi or Me will have to contruct a sentence using one of those aspects of grammar (pasado perfecto, presente perfecto, pasado perfecto continuo, presente perfecto continuo, future, modal verbs) for example: If Nissi is aking to our partners the subject, the verb and the complement, i will tell her what kind of sentence she has to use to construct the sentence.
we will do just 8 sentences..
That´s all.. God Bless You!!
SOCIAL ISSUE: DRUNK DRIVERS
ReplyDeleteGUIDE: Good afternoon! We are meeting this afternoon because they have had some problems with alcohol. These individualscould have a successful process of rehabilitation with my help.
First, I would like youto share your stories with us. Who would like to start?
MAN 1: I would. Two weeks ago I was spending an enjoyable time with my friends in a bar. I needed to go out quickly, because my father was waiting for the car. So I drove fast, even though I had been drinking a few beers… you know, the party… my friends…
GUIDE: How many beers had you been drinking?
MAN 1: I drank 2 or 3 beers… I guess
GUIDE: Ok, continue please…
MAN 1: So, while I was driving I crashed my car into something. But I’m not sure what it was. I don’t know if it was an animal or a person. I continued on my way. However, since then I haven´t been sleep well. My conscience has been troubling me…
GUIDE: Had you had any kind of problem with alcohol before?
MAN 1: No, I hadn’t.
GUIDE: Surely, if the police haven’t found anyone hit by a car, we might think it was an animal. Thank you for sharing, sir. Who wants to go next?
MAN 2: I would, thanks. Well, I was playing soccer with some friends last Friday. When we finished the match, we were very excited because we had won the match. So we decided to celebrate by drinking some beers. After that, I received a call from my wife. She was angry because I hadn’t gone to pick her up from yoga class. So I finished drinking my last beer and I hopped on my motorbike.
GUIDE: Didn’t you try to call a taxi?
MAN 2: No, unfortunately I didn’t. I had spent all of my money on beers. Moreover, I had my own means of transportation. Where would I have left my motorbike???
GUIDE: Please, calm down sir! What happened after that?
MAN 2: So, I was driving home as quickly as possible. I picked up my wifeon my motorbike and then we went home. Suddenly, on the road a car appeared crashed into one of the wheels of my vehicle. I lost control, we both fell from the bike and my dear wife was fatally wounded. The driver of the other vehicle sped away from the scene. I was left with my wife bleeding on my hands. She died a few moments later… I should be dead instead of her.
GUIDE: I’mvery sorry. Have the police found the other driver?
MAN 2: No, they haven’t. They aren’t being very cooperative. They can’t do anything right!
GUIDE: Well, thanks for sharing your story with us. Ma’am do you have anything to say?
WOMAN: Yes sir! One month ago, I had gone with my friends to a party and we had been celebrating since 5 O’clock in the afternoon. My friend’s husband arrived to pick up his wife. She had been calling him all afternoon. After she left with him, I headed home as well.
The next morning, I received a call that would change my life forever. My friend had died and her husband was guilty of it, I know. Since that moment I have not been able to smile and her absence has really saddened me and I’ve coped with my sorrow by drinking.
GUIDE: I am very sorry to hear that. How long had you two been friends?
WOMAN: We had been friends for fifteen years, since we were just children.
GUIDE: I can see why you are like this.
WOMAN: Hey, wait a second… I am sure I have seen you somewhere before.
MAN 2: Me? No… I don´t think so. You must be confusing me with somebody else. Have you been drinking before coming here today?
WOMAN: No! Hmm… well… yes, I drank a little bit. But that’s none of your business. I hope you’re not the person who I think you are…
GUIDE: O.K Guys stop it! Behave! You have both lost your driver’s license. It has been suspended for one year…

A TERRIBLE NIGHMARE.
ReplyDeleteWitness: Would you like to know the truth?
Person Catholic: I had never been interested about this topic.
Witness: Why? God will carry you to the happiness. You should listen to me. You won’t regret it.
Person Catholic: I have only known one God.
Witness: Yes! In the world only exist a God, but you have not known his true name.
Person Catholic: Look! Look! I have always been catholic. Look! And in this moment I must go to the church. Please you have taken enough time. Don’t bother me.
Witness: Wait! Wait! I won’t take too much time. It is just a minute.
Person Catholic: I have been listening to you for a long time and I cannot lose more time.
Atheist: Hi! Why have you come here? You have lost your time!!
Witness: Miss, you should know the truth. Thus, you wouldn’t think in this way. Everything made in the name of God has been rewarding. Everything is rewarded, you should get away of the ways of hell.
Atheist: Ey! Ey! The hell has not existed. The hell has been invented by people without a job.
Person Catholic: Okay, I can’t stay here listen to you because I will always believe in the God that I have known since child and do not want to change my religion. Can you go? Please!
Witness: Oh! Jehovah, enlighten them! You have not thought in the consequences! What will world be if there are more people thinking in this way? What?
Atheist: In this home, the only thing that has illuminated is the sun and at night the electric light. Nothing more,
Person Catholic: Are you still here? Don’t you have anything better to do?
Witness: No, my mission in this world is to carry the message… I Understand.
- LATER TIME…
AT HOME OF DEISSY’S BOYFRIEND.
Person Catholic: I’m feeling happy because she can’t bother me here.
Atheist: Yes, this person is very heavy.
-RING -RING
Witness: Would you like to know the truth?
Atheist: Oh! Shit!
Jehovah’s Witness has decided to abandon the ways of God, due to so much rejection of incredulous society.

And this is our dialogue…
MISS IGNORANCE 2013
ESTEBAN: Welcome to the final of the 2013 ignorance contest. Now, I’m going to ask you for two questions. First MISS FOOL:
(Applauses)
Have you ever been a victim of domestic violence?
CAROLINA: MMM…Good Evening everyone! Yes, but I not. My mother was a victim of domestic violence. I was seven years old and my father had been drinking a lot of beers. I was very pretty, so I don’t think that it is a real problem. Actually, it was very funny because my mother’s shouts were hilarious, and she cried like a girl. It was very funny but I love both of them. THANK YOU!
(Applauses)
ESTEBAN: Now, MISS STUPID:
(Applauses)
Have you ever been a victim of discrimination?
LORENA: Yes, I hate black people. God says that they are the devil because of their color. For example, today I was playing with my cousins in the park, and one boy there was black. I immediately laughed of him, the kids told me that I was wrong, but actually discrimination is fine. THANK YOU!
(Applauses)
ESTEBAN: And the new Miss ignorance 2013 is……MISS STUPID...CONGRATULATIONS!
LORENA: I’m so proud that my opponent is smarter than me…sorry you are a looser!
Hello everyone,
ReplyDeleteWe wanted to present the topic "Urban Tribes" but using a different methodology. This time we want to teach you a game, it is called "Who am I?".
What do you need to play this:
- Pieces of paper
- Markers
- Tape
How to play:
You can play this game with just a friend or you can play it at a party, there is no limit for the participants number.
First, you're going to need a topic to play with. it can be just simple random words or you can previously agree a topic with your buddies; in this example we´re going to use "Urban Tribes" as a topic
Now you're going to keywords in the pieces of paper, mix them up, and let your partners to pick a word. THEY MUST NOT SEE THE WORD! Our key words for this activity are: PUNK, HIPPIE, METALHEADS, SKATERS. All of these are well known "Urban Tribes", and we´re going to use some of these tribe´s features as clues for our game.
Each player is going to stick the keyword on his/her forehead, using the tape, remember: NO ONE SHOULD SEE HIS OWN WORD.
When everyone has a word on his/her forehead, now, by turns, each player is going to say clues about the word that his mate has. The person who is listening to his mates will try to guess the word on his forehead.
This are the clues that we used for this excercise:
PUNK
- If you bother them, you will be in trouble
- they have worn a crest for decades
- for many years they have been representing the working class
HIPPIE
- they have thought about free love
- they should have continued working on their beliefs
- they had been living in comunities since the 60s
SKATERS
- they have used a paticular vehicle to move around
- streets and parks are filled with these guys
- sneakers are used by them
METALHEADS
- you should wear long hair to become one of them
- you will find them in a line to a noisy concert
- if you meet them, they would be wearing black leather jackets
Well that's all mates, we hope you enjoy this game as much as we did, and we want to invit you to play it with your friends and family. This game can also be a great tool to practice and improve your foreign language skills levels.
Thank you for reading, have a great day!!!
Best Regards.
