Bienvenidos NB2 de Alhama de Murcia
Atentos a partir de ahora x q comienza la acción:
Grammar bank
Exercise 1C
A
It isn’t raining
Hey! You’re standing on foot
They aren’t playing very well today
What are you studying at the moment?
We’re thinking of you.
Is she wearing make-up?
They are making a big mistake.
IS you brother working in London now?
She’s talking to her father at the moment.
B
The girl in the painting is playing the guitar
My dog’s not dangerous. He isn’t biting
Why are you wearing sunglasses? It isn’t raining
You can turn off the radio. I’m not listening to it
I need to go to the bank. I DO not have any money
Be careful! The baby’s putting that pencil in her mouth
DO you usually cook at the weekend?
No, we usually eat out
What are you doing here?
I’m meeting Emma. Look there she is.
Exercise 1 D
A
It’s the person who serves you in a café
They’re people who make you laugh
It’s a machine which cuts the grass.
It’s an animal which lives in the sea and has eight legs
It’s a room where people try on clothes
He’s the person who helps you with your luggage
It’s a kind of food which keeps vampires away.
B
That’s the dog which always barks at night
She’s the woman who lives next door to me
That’s the shop where I bought my dress
He’s the actor who was in Friends
They’re the children who broke my window
This is the restaurant where they do great pasta
That is the switch which controls the central heating
He’s the teacher who teaches my sister
That’s the room where we have our meetings.

This is the life: Amy McDonald
That's part of what we did on Wednesday. Think about the answer at the bottom for Monday.
Oh the wind whistles down
The cold dark street tonight
And the people they were dancing to the music vibe
And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair
While the shy tormented youth sit way over there
And the songs they get louder
Each one better than before
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?
Where you'regonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
So you're heading down the road in your taxi for four
And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door
But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four
So you're sitting there with nothing to do
Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew
And where you're gonna go and where you're gonna sleep tonight
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
And you're singing the songs
Thinking this is the life
And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?

Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?

And you wake up in the morning and you're head feels twice the size
Where you're gonna go? Where you're gonna go?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
Where you're gonna sleep tonight?
What’s the song about?
Find a word that means:
1. To make a high or musical sound by blowing air out through your lips.
2. To quickly follow someone or something in order to catch them.
3. All the people who work on a ship or plane.
4. A group of people or things that are very different from each other and do not seem to belong together.(2 words)

Make or Do
Muchos hispano-parlantes tienen dudas con respecto al uso de estos dos verbos cuya traducción básica es "hacer, realizar". Veamos...
1. Usamos DO cuando hablamos de una actividad sin mencionar exactamente cuál es:
- What's Marta doing?
¿Qué está haciendo Marta?
- Are you doing anything special tonight?
¿Van a hacer algo en especial está noche?
2. DO se usa a menudo cuando hablamos de un trabajo o una tarea específica. También se lo utiliza con la estructura DO + ING (ando, endo):
- Have you done your homework yet?
¿Ya has hecho tus deberes?
- It was a pleasure doing business with you.
Fue un placer hacer negocios contigo.
- Could you do some photocopying for me, please?
¿Podrias hacerme unas fotocopias, por favor?
3. Por lo general, MAKE tiene el significado de crear, fabricar o construir.
- We made a new design for the product based on suggestions.
Hicimos (Creamos) un nuevo diseño del producto basado en sugerencias.
- The company makes photographic equipment.
La empresa hace (fabrica) equipamiento fotográfico.
4. A menudo MAKE se usa con sustantivos relacionados con la conversación, los sonidos y los viajes:
CONVERSACION Y SONIDOS
make a complaint, make an enquiry, make a noise, make a remark
presentar un reclamo, hacer una consulta, hacer ruido, hacer un comentario
VIAJES
make a journey, make a trip, make a visit
hacer un traslado, hacer un viaje, hacer una visita
[JOURNEY: sólo desplazamiento de un lugar a otro; TRIP: incluye la estadía]
5. A veces MAKE y DO pueden ser intercambiables:
- They made an endurance test to the new Airbus double-decker.
Le realizaron una prueba de resistencia al nuevo Airbus doble-piso.
- They did an endurance test to the new Airbus double-decker.
Le realizaron una prueba de resistencia al nuevo Airbus doble-piso.
No obstante, existen muchas otras expresiones que no siguen las pautas o lineamientos arriba mencionados porque a veces su traducción al español no se corresponde con el verbo hacer. Por ello, es mejor memorizarlos o utilizar un diccionario cuando se tienen dudas.
MAKE...
an appointment, an arrangement, an attempt, a choice,
fijar una cita, establecer un acuerdo, hacer un intento, optar,
a living, sense, certain, redundant, money, progress,
ganarse la vida, tener sentido, asegurarse, despedir, hacer dinero, progresar,

iniciarse, ofrecer una sugerencia, tomar una decisión, realizar una investigación,
a speech,a mistake, a sound, a loss

Jamie Oliver has a feast planned for G20 leaders
Part of the script is below
Jamie Oliver will serve up a dinner for the G20 leaders which honours the best of British food.
The meal, prepared by young chefs from the his Fifteen restaurant, will begin with organic salmon from Shetland, served with samphire and sea kale, a selection of vegetables from Sussex, Surrey and Kent, and Irish soda bread.
For the main course, the celebrity chef will offer slow-roasted shoulder of lamb from the Elwy Valley in north Wales, with Jersey Royal potatoes, wild mushrooms and mint sauce.
Dessert will be the classic Bakewell tart and custard.
The vegetarian option will include a goat's cheese starter and lovage and potato dumplings for the main course.
Oliver said: "I'm very, very proud of my country and its food traditions and I know that the guests at Downing Street will be in for a real treat."
The chef's wife Jools is due to give birth to their third child imminently, but he is still planning to lead his team at Number 10. It is the third time he has cooked there.
