Hi everyone! First I want to congratulate you for the good job you did last class. Today we will start Unit 5d.Let´s go to page 69 ex. 5. Can you read the newspaper headlines?
💬 Have you ever heard or been in any of these serious situation?
Speaking ⇒ Tell me about the story (remember to send me a voice message).
Now, let´s analyse this headline: "Many injured in a bus accident"
I have underlined the word "injured". Do you know the meaning? What´s the difference with the verb "damage" in the headline "Storm destroys 20 houses?
To understand the difference, you will go to exercise 2.
Activity 2: Study carefully the difference between these easily confused words by analysing the examples given. The terms you will study are:
💢 damaged vs. injured
💢 survive vs. rescue
💢 look vs. watch vs. notice
Once the difference is clear to you, you will write 6 sentences using a different term in each of them.
Activity 3: READING ⇒ Let´s read now about a serious accident.
On page 68 of the student´s book, there is a newspaper article. Take your time to read it in silence and then complete exercise C (read the sentences and write T, F or NM for not mentioned).
I will take a sentence from the article: " The inured passangers were taken to local hospitals"
💬What do you notice in the verb? Is the verb in any of the tenses you know? Is it past continous? No!
This sentence is in the PASSIVE VOICE. What does it mean? We normally read sentences that are in the ACTIVE VOICE
⇲ "Somebody took the injured passangers to local hospitals" (this would be the sentence I took from the text but in the active voice, which is the voice normally chosen by speakers or writers to communicate)
💬 Now, why is the passive voice chosen in the newspaper article? The answer is because we don´t know who performed the act of taking the passangers to local hospitals. It´s more important the fact that THE PASSANGERS were taken than WHO took them.
Let´s analyse the uses of "PASSIVE VOICE"
ACTIVE VOICE ↬ 1. We took the passengers to hospital
2. The postman delivers letters everyday
