UNIT1: Achieving Goals
Hello
there.
Today
I am studying about achieving goals, so I’ll look for examples where I
show you that I use it. The Idea is show that his topic can be used on our daily activities.
During
this I’m going to talk about:
- Verbs
and adjectives with preposition
- Passives
and perfect forms.
- Also about new vocabulary and new expressions.
- In class contributions:
In
this part, in class we did a lot of practice about the topics mentioned before.
One
example is the use of verbs and adjectives with preposition as I am going to
show here:
The
use of this is really important because there are some words that have a
special clue, I mean, the correct form of write SUCCEED or INTEREST … is by using
the preposition IN.
You’ll
always see these words together because is a ruler! And there are a lot of
words like these that we need to learn.
Another
aspect is the perfect forms as:
Present Perfect
|
We usually use this tense to show an
unspecified time in past
|
Example:
He has bought a car.
|
Past perfect
|
It is used to show two points in the past,
but one before than other.
|
Example:
I had visited Paris twice.
|
Future Perfect
|
It is used to show a point in the future
|
Example: For tomorrow I will have done all
my project.
|
These
are the three perfect forms; we can use it with negative statements and
questions like:
Present Perfect
|
Past perfect
|
Future Perfect
|
Negative: He has not bought the car.
|
Negative: I had not visited Paris.
|
Negative: I won’t have done all my project
for tomorrow
|
Question: Has he bought the car?
|
Question: Had I visited Paris before?
|
Question: Will I have done my project for
tomorrow?
|
Some
vocabulary I learned in this UNIT was:
- Set
achievable goals: this means that you set your objectives and you follow it.
- Face
challenge: It means that always there will be problems, situations, but we dond
have to be afraid.
- Couldn’t
have done it without help: That for you do something, somebody help you
- Have
the right attitude: Be positive, proactive and never give up.
- I
don’t know offhand: What it means is that you know something but in a specific
situation you forgot it. But the knowledge is somewhere in your brain.
- I
know it by heart: It means that you have a knowledge because you memorize it.
- I
haven’t the faintest idea: It means that you really don’t know something.
- Im pretty
sure: Means that you know something, and you are so sure.
This was some vocabulary and how i understood it.
- Out of class contributions and
- Grammar
In
this part for improve the topics; I looked on internet for some practice about
the perfect forms and the verbs with preposition, because it is vital because
you have to memorize all this words. I am going to adjunct some links where I
studied. .
Present
perfect
Past
perfect
Future
perfect
For
the verbs with preposition I found a list, some examples are:
For
the passive voice I looked for a review on You Tube.
This
part was the most dificult for me, so I did some practice and the links are:
- Reflective section
With this topic that I was
studying, I can't deny that there was a specific aspect that made my brain runs
out. This subject is the passive voice.
I
mean, the topic looks easy but for me it was not. For example, the biggest
challenge for me was work on long statements. (I could work on short sentences, but when I tried to do some larger or more difficult sentences, I
couldn't or was difficult to me.)
