2. MOTIVACION

READING.

READING

Maybe you have Heard the term “lifelong learning”, which means that although learning begins when we
are children, education continues throughout our whole life. This is one of the reasons why reading is
considered an important part of learning for everyone; it not only keeps us informed about the world
around us, but also helps us keep our mind sharp.

Reading offers benefits that you may not find in other media. If we compare it to TV, reading gives the
brain much better training. When we watch TV, we received information very fast in a short time, so we
have no time to pause and think. When reading, we can operate more actively and develop longer
attention periods; this means we can keep interested and engaged in certain topics, making the picture
of our world wider each book we read.

We don’t just read because it’s good for our brains, of course! For me, there is no greater pleasure than
finding good book. Reading allows us to travel anywhere in the world and in time without leaving the
comfort of our own chair. We can visit fantastic lands, go to space, and live all sorts of adventures,
without even getting our feet wet!

Reading is also an excellent way to keep and make new friends. What better way to get lively
conversation going than having people with interests in common read and discuss books, magazines or
the newspaper? I would recommend joining a book group or starting one. And, if you have
grandchildren, don’t forget they love listening to stories that you read aloud to them.

0. A. What is the main purpose of the text?

A. Talk about interesting books and programs

B. Describe the difference between TV and reading.
C. Explain why reading is the best learning tool.
D. Make a link between learning and TV

14. According to the text, TV

A. Keeps our brains working very fast.
B. Prevents people from thinking.
C. Gives us very good information.
D. Helps us be comfortable in our chairs.

15. The author thinks that reading is

A. As beneficial as other media.
B. Nice because you can do it at home.
C. Important to get attention from others.
The best activity anyone can ever do

16. What might some people think after reading this text?
A. They can go to reading club.
B. They need friends to read with.
C. They should start writing a book.
D. They have to read to children.

17. What might this writer say?

A. Reading helps us keep our mind moving, although it is not very good when you want to male
more friends.
B .Reading is very good to keep your mind active, open our view of the world and be better in
social situations.
C. Reading is similar to TV because they both give good, interesting information, and you can
know more about the world.
D. Reading makes us stay at home by ourselves while we enjoy having adventures and learning
about the world.

En otros casos, para expresar habilidad en el futuro utilizamos will be able to.

Obligation Have to / must

Have to and must are both used to express obligation. There is a slight difference

between the way they are used.

Have to shows us that the obligation comes from somebody else. It’s a law or a rule and
the speaker can’t change it.

Do you have to wear a uniform at your school?

John can’t come because he has to work tomorrow.
In Britain you have to buy a TV licence every year.

Must shows us that the obligation comes from the speaker. It isn’t a law or a rule.

You must come and visit us the next time you come to London.

No obligation

We use don’t have to to show that there is no obligation. You can do something if you
want to but it’s not compulsory.

Asking for, information phrases

1. Can you tell me…?
Could you tell me…?
This is the most common way to ask for information. You can use either can or could.
Can is probably a little more informal.

“Could you tell me how to get to the train station?”

2. Can anyone tell me…? / Could anyone tell me…?
Use these phrases when you are addressing a group of people, not an individual.

“Can anyone tell me what time the bank opens?”

Use this phrase if you’re not sure whether or not the person you’re speaking to knows
the answer.

4. Do you have any idea…?

These phrases, like #3, are used if it’s possible the person doesn’t know the answer.
