Muy buenos días chicos y chicas! Hoy vamos a trabajar con la tercera historia de

nuestra guía, "Jimmy´s Rock Collection".

Primero que nada vamos a leer la historia, igual que como veníamos haciendo con las

anteriores, y vamos a hacer las actividades propuestas en la guía.

Después de leer la historia, la primer actividad es completar el cuento escribiendo las

palabras que estén entre paréntesis conjugadas de la manera correcta al presente

simple en los espacios en blanco, es decir agregando la letra "s/ es/ ies" según sea el

caso, y para ello podemos usar de ayuda la historia completa.

Seguido a ello, vamos a encontrar una actividad en donde tendremos definiciones y

deberemos ubicar al lado de cada definición, la palabra que corresponde, usando las

palabras del cuadro de texto que está en la parte superior de esa hoja.

Luego llegamos a la parte de gramática pura y debemos corregir las oraciones

propuestas, en el primer caso debemos ordenar las palabras para formar oraciones

lógicas, es decir, que tengan coherencia y cohesión (sentido); luego pasar las oraciones

propuestas al modo interrogativo; en el siguiente punto pasar las oraciones al modo

negativo; y por último, convertir las oraciones que están en modo interrogativo a

oraciones en modo positivo.

Una vez que finalizamos con la guía de actividades, vamos a realizar el cuestionario

que corresponde a la historia, que estará habilitado hasta el sábado 16 de Mayo.

Simple Present, Story 3

Jimmy’s Rock Collection Jimmy collects rocks. His rock collection is huge. He

has many different kinds of rocks in his collection.

Some of them even glow in the dark! One of his

rocks is from outer space!

Jimmy works in an office, but when he is in front of

his computer, he usually dreams about rocks. Jimmy

thinks about rocks more than he thinks about his

girlfriend!

After work, Jimmy often goes for long walks. He

always takes a bag of tools with him: safety glasses,

hammer, cleaning brush, magnifying glass, rock

book, and a camera.

Jimmy usually finds many interesting rocks on his walks. His safety glasses

protect his eyes while his hammer breaks the rocks into smaller pieces. He

cleans the rocks with his cleaning brush, and then studies the rocks with his

magnifying glass. Then he uses his rock book to learn more about his rocks.

When Jimmy cannot bring an interesting rock home, he usually takes a photo

of the rock. There are lots of photos in Jimmy’s rock collection!

When Jimmy gets home, he always goes to the basement. In his basement, he

organizes his new rocks. Sometimes, he studies his old rocks. He often sings

while he works with his rocks.

Jimmy spends most of his time with his rocks. He is crazy about rocks, and he

knows this. But Jimmy’s girlfriend does not understand this. It worries her. She

loves Jimmy and wants to be his wife. She wants Jimmy’s rock collection to

include another rock—a big diamond ring for her!
