English Summary (All in One)

Welcome to our ultra hyper express English summary for our English I class.

We’ll do a fast review about the contents seen on these months, and one or two example in each one of them.

Ok, let’s go! (I don’t know why I try to give some… enthusiasm. All of you are be waiting for the match between Bolivia and Peru)

Unit One: Hello and Good-bye.

Chapter One: Hello and Good-bye

We learned in this chapter, expressions to say “Hello” and “good-bye”, like Hello, Hi, Good bye, See you later, Thanks, Good morning/afternoon/evening/night, etcetera.

Chapter Two: Names

Concepts like first name, last name, middle name and nickname are introduced in this chapter.

Also, we review the alphabet and the first Grammar note: verb “to be”. For example, “I’m presenting an express summary now”.

The Grammar note includes the following content:

Verb To Be - First Person
Affirmative form	Negative form
I'm	I'm not
You're	You're not
We're	We're not

Chapter Three: Personal Information

I think you don’t need more review about the numbers between zero and nine, or yes?

Important item in this chapter are the use of “at” (@) and “dot” (.) to spell e-mail addresses.

Here, we have another Grammar note: Use of “What’s” and “is”, “*’s” and “It’s”

The Grammar note includes the following contents:

What's your name?	My name's Ariel
What's your e-mail address?	It's ariel@gmail.com
What's your number phone?	It's 82203260

Where's my school pass?	It's on the desktop
Where are the student’s works?	They're on your office

Chapter Four: “What’s the word for this in English?”

This chapter doesn’t show us a Grammar note, but I think it’s very important in case of a… emergency. If we forgot a word, always we can use this sentence: “What’s the word for this in English?” It’s better than “Profesor… ¿cuál es la palabra para esto?” in the middle of a conversation or presentation.

Also, we have another sentence: “Can I borrow your (noun)?” and alternatives for saying “Thanks” and “I’m sorry”

Unit 3: Favorite People.

Chapter One: Celebrities.

Unit 4: Everyday life

Chapter One: In the morning

Chapter Three: Do you come here every day?

Here we learn strategies for a better conversation, like try to say more than “yes” or “no”.  Also, we learn about the use of “well”, if you need time to think, or if your answer isn’t just “yes” or “no”.

It’s easy. Just to refresh our memory. Now, it’s midnight. It’s a cold night and I want to sleep.

The Grammar note shows us some suggestions with “Let’s” and how to telling time:

What time is it?	It's nine o'clock
What time does the next class start?	It starts at nine thirty

Chapter Three: It’s a great place to live

The last chapter of our summary shows us another strategy for the conversations.

You can say “Me too” or “Me neither” to show you and your interlocutor have something in common. And if you want to show you agree or that you’re listening, you can say “Right” and “I know”.

Well... It's everything. Thanks for your time and attention. Good evening, and again, thanks.
