ACTIVIDADES EN CASA PARA EL MES DE FEBRERO

STAY AT HOME AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH AND YOUR FAMILY. ACTIVIDAD 1. . Read the text and circle any words you do not understand. In groups, pool unknown words and use dictionaries to find their meanings. AMERICAN EATING HABITS Patrick Phillips USA for many people American food means only one thing – Mcdonald’s. But American food is more than fast food. It is the ethnic food that was brought to the US by immigrants, such as Italians, Mexicans, and Greeks. And since mosteveryone in the US is from somewhere else, there is a lot of food to choose from!

A.take-away is when you order the food and then take it away to eat either in the car, the park or at home. Chinese and Indian take‑aways are very popular. Take‑aways do not have to be cheap, and some are very expensive.

Breakfast and lunch are usually eaten on the run. People have yogurt or a pastry in the morning and then fast food at lunch. The evening is when Americans have more time to spend on eating, and that is when the biggest meal of the day is usually eaten. At home, the evening meal typically has some kind of meat, a vegetable, and bread. But Americans work long hours, so often they are too tired to cook, and bring home Chinese food or have a pizza delivered instead.Americans love to eat out. Restaurants have friendly waiters and serve large portions at affordable prices. Italian food is very popular. Pizza is served with a choice of three different crusts - thin, medium, or thick, and for toppings you can get anything you want, including double cheese or even tuna fish.Mexican food is also common. When you first sit down in the restaurant, the waiter brings you a bowl of tortilla [tor‑tee‑ya] chips and salsa, free of charge. A typical Mexican meal is burrito, a big tortilla stuffed with cheese and your choice of meat filling. You also get Mexican rice and beans with it. Yummy! Burrito, the name of a tasty Mexican meal, literally means “little donkey” in Spanish.And yes, there are hamburgers. But a proper hamburger is not what you find at McDonald’s. The meat on a real hamburger must be at least 2.5 cm thick, and be served on a thick, soft homemade bun. From there you can have what you want on it, such as cheese, onions, and ketchup. And if you don’t want French fries, you can have onion rings - slices of onion battered and fried to a golden brown.So next time you think of American food, don’t just think of McDonald’s, think of the world. American food comes from almost every country on Earth, and it tastes great!

Read the text again: “American Eating Habits”. Underline sentences in the present and past simple tense: Ahora vamos a repasar los temas gramaticales mencionados y realizar ejercicios. PRESENT SIMPLE PAST SIMPLE Recordemos que el tiempo presente simple lo podemos usar: • Para expresar hábitos y rutinas, hechos generales, acciones repetidas o situaciones, emociones y deseos permanentes: Observemos algunos ejemplos I smoke (hábito); I work in London (permanencia); London is a large city (hecho general) • Para dar instrucciones o indicaciones: You walk for two hundred meters, then you turn left. • Para hablar de eventos programados, presentes o futuros: Your exam starts at 09.00. • Para referirse al futuro, detrás de algunas conjunciones: after, when, before, as soon as, until: He'll give it to you when you come next Saturday. • Hechos generales Water freezes at zero degrees. Tengamos presente estas reglas para usar el presente simple: • En la tercera persona del singular, el verbo siempre termina en -s: he wants, she needs, he gives, she thinks. • Para las formas negativa e interrogativa, se emplea DOES (= tercera persona del auxiliar 'DO') + el infinitivo del verbo. He wants ice cream. Does he want strawberry? He does not want vanilla. • Verbos que terminan en -y : en la tercera persona del singular, se cambia la -y por -ies: fly --> flies, cry --> cries Excepción: cuando una vocal precede a la -y: play --> plays, pray --> prays • Añadimos -es a los verbos que terminan en:-ss, -x, -sh, -ch: he passes, she catches, he fixes, it pushes Recordemos que el uso del tiempo pasado simple lo podemos usar: El "simple past" lo utilizamos para hablar de una acción que concluyó en un tiempo anterior al actual. La duración no es relevante. El tiempo en que se sitúa la acción puede ser el pasado reciente o un pasado lejano. Observemos algunos ejemplos • John Cabot sailed to America in 1498. • My father died last year. • He lived in Fiji in 1976. • We crossed the Channel yesterday. Tengamos presente que siempre se utiliza el "simple past" para referirse a cuando ocurrió algo, de modo que va asociado a ciertas expresiones temporales que indican: Veamos estos ejemplos: • frecuencia: often, sometimes, always I sometimes walked home at lunchtime. I often brought my lunch to school. • un tiempo determinado: last week, when I was a child, yesterday, six weeks ago We saw a good film last week. Yesterday, I arrived in Geneva.
