Hi Students.Here's a simple way to review Simple Future

http://www.grammar.cl/Notes/Future_Will_vs_Going.htm

When to use WILL

We use WILL in the following circumstances:

1. For things that we decide to do now. (Rapid Decisions)

This is when you make a decision at that moment, in a spontaneous way.

I'll call a taxi for you.
I think we'll go right now. (I just decided this right now)
Which one? Um, I will have the chicken sandwich please.

2. When we think or believe something about the future. (Prediction)

This can be based on personal judgement or opinion.

The President will not be re-elected at the next election.
I think it will rain later so take an umbrella with you.
I think you will find the movie interesting.

Notice how you often use "I think..." before the subject + will.

3. To make an offer, a promise or a threat.

You look tired. I'll finish the dishes for you.
I will do my best to help you.
If you say anything I will kill you!
I will have it ready by tomorrow.
I'll drive you to work if you want.
Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. (won't = will not)

4. For a habit that is a predictable behaviour

My daughter will fall asleep as soon as she is put into bed.
He will give up if he starts losing. He always does that.

5. You use WON'T when someone refuses to do something.

I told him to clean his room but he won't do it.
She won't listen to anything I say.
Compare Will vs. Going To

If someone asks: "Are you busy this evening?"

If I respond: "Yes, I'm going to the movies." I use going to because it is a plan I made earlier (before I was asked the question). - In this case we cannot use Will.

If I haven't made plans, then you can say either: "I will probably watch TV." OR "I'm probably going to watch TV."

Both will and going to are possible in this situation because we are predicting what will happen (since we haven't made any plans).

The structure BE GOING TO is normally used to indicate the future in English. We use this structure:

1. When we have already decided or we INTEND to do something in the future. (Prior Plan)

The decision has been made before the moment of speaking.

I'm going to India next year.

We talked about it yesterday and I'm going to quit my job tomorrow.

2. When there are definite signs that something is going to happen. (Evidence)

Something is likely to happen based on the evidence or experience you have.

It's so cold! I think it is going to snow

3. When something is about to happen:

Get back! The bomb is going to explode.

Hi,people
Here your next task for the 1st trimester 2017.
Poetry deals with the emotions, just as music. An autobiographical poem is personal—it reveals something about the person writing the poem. It does not have to rhyme. Below is a simple plan to write your own autobiographical poem. Just follow the steps and—before you know it—it’s done.

I am (first name)

Son/Daughter of (I've also used brother/sister of...)

Black Friday and Bogof

Studeeeeeents.Hi!!!
Here we are again.
This time you have a very interesting task.
Go through it and do it well.
Hugs

English activities____ Teacher Valderez____ Reading Comprehension 2016

N°___________ Name_____________________ Group___________

( )Funny really but whenever I hear the word 'trolley' I think of those buses that ran on electricity with long poles coming out of the top, which were supposed to link to overhead electrical wires and invariably became disconnected. And by the way there is an expression 'off your trolley' meaning mad or crazy. But back to the supermarket. As you wander up and down the aisles (the pathways between the shelves), it is easy to be seduced into buying more than you want. There are so many offers like - Buy three for the price of two (but you really only want one) Buy two and get a third one half price (but honestly you really only want one). Special offer today only!

( )I expect you are wondering what on earth is the meaning of the title I've given this newsletter. Well, you'll have to be patient because I'm not going to tell you what it means until the end of the essay. Nowadays we have to rely on advertising to pay for our television programmes.. Every so often there is a break in the programme and up pop what we call the 'commercials' (advertisements), which sponsor any particular show we're watching. Invariably there are products advertised for losing weight... Young women are seen gorging (eating excessively) even stuffing themselves with the sort of food we all hanker after(want). But unlike the rest of us, these waif like (very thin) young women remain ridiculously slim. Of course in the old days you just bought what was available in the shop and there wasn't much choice.

( ) Special price for all these -when they are gone, they are gone! Well that's obvious, isn't it? Once near where I live a giant sized supermarket opened that had previously been just a big supermarket. The owners thought that people might be confused at the changes ( I certainly was!) and so to help guide the shoppers, they employed extra staff who carried bright blue sashes across their front announcing: 'I am your aisle guide'. Finally the time has come to pay and you go to join a queue for one of the checkouts, carefully examining who has the most items, the biggest basket or who looks the brightest and most nimble (quick) fingered check out operator.

( )And now I have to explain, as promised, the meaning of BOGOF. It is an acronym whereby the first letter of each word is used to create another word and it means: Buy One and Get One Free.

( ) Today you go into a supermarket no, it's grander than that, you enter it. Invariably at the entrance you are attacked by a draught of hot air as you see before you the bright lights, the hustle and bustle (people moving this way and that) and hear the noise of people talking and machines buzzing. It's like a world out of Dante's Inferno or Milton's Paradise Lost. Then you are faced with a dilemma. Should you stride in without bag or basket as you only want one or two things? Should you pick up a wire basket and risk that it might get overloaded with things you didn't think you were going to buy and then end up with one arm longer than the other as you stagger round the store? Or should you go for a trolley (the basket on wheels). Then which size trolley? The sports model that is more manoeuvrable or the heavy weight 4 wheel drive variety?

Questions about the text

1. You must choose a title to the text. – The author is Alan Townend.

2.Find in the text:

2.1. the meaning of the expressions:

a) Off your trolley-

b) What on Earth

2.2 a sinonym for

Aisles-

Rely on-

Wonder

From time to time /now and them /once in a while

Support -

Stuffing-

Wish-

Hire-

PIN-

3.Answer to the questions:

3.1. What makes a person to be seduced into buying more than what it is needed?

3.2. Why should one rely on ads ?

3.3 What did the owners of a big supermarket do to avoid people to be confused?

3.4 What does PIN stand for? Is it an anacronym or an abbreviation (sigla)?

3.5 Which are the doubts in step into the place?

3.6. Can you give a current example of a Bogof . It must be your own idea.

4. Now put the text in the correct order
