Week 4

v  We learned vocabulary:
®    Misery: sadness
®    Meager: poor
®    Beaten: defeated
®    Sordid: immoral, dishonest
®    Poverty: having little money or few material things.
®    Hopelessness: being without hope
®    Dilapidated: falling apart, in terrible condition.
v  We made some translations about some sentences like:
*      How is the weather?
*      It was cold
®    Hizo la maleta enseguida
*      He packed he suitcase right away.
®    Le hace falta un billete
*      He needs a bill.
®    Le hablé hace una semana
* I spoke to him a week ago.
v  We talked about a biographical paragraph that describes a person´s life, and sometimes focuses on one particular aspect. All paragraphs have three parts: the topic sentence, the supporting sentences, and the concluding sentence.
®    Topic sentence: introduces the main idea and the controlling idea, controls what you write in the rest of the paragraph.
®    Supporting sentence: is in the second part of the paragraph and gives details or examples that develop your ideas about the topic. This is usually the largest part of the paragraph, since it discusses and explains the controlling idea.
®    The concluding sentence is the last part of the paragraph. It can do one or more of the following: summarize the paragraph, offer a solution to the problem, restate the topic sentence, or offer an opinion.
v  We analyzed a part of our readings of the week “The ambitious guest”.
