Unit 6 Exploring the world



This topic was interesting because we discussed about different places and cultures around the world. We learned about some traditions and lifestyle of people that live in places like Africa, Bhutan, United States and Brazil. For example in Bhutan, people live in harmony with nature and their environment also live in harmony with each other, with no discrimination of any kind.
The grammar activities for this unit was the use of present tense and I learned this:
·         Present Perfect is used to talk about an action in the past when the time is not important to known.
·         Use the present perfect continues when focusing on the activity itself.
·         To describe an action that happened in the pas5t but has the result in the present you need to use present perfect.

When we were discussing, we compared some places and cultures, for this reason we studied some rules like:
·         Add er and est to form the comparatives and superlatives of one syllable adjectives and adverbs.
·         For two syllable adjectives ending in y, form the comparative and superlative by removing the y and adding ier or iest.
·         Use more and most to form the comparative and superlatives of adjectives with two or more syllables.

At the end, I learned a little bit of vocabulary.
·         Drizzle: To rain gently in fine.
·         Sweltering: Oppressively hot and humid; sultry.
·         Breeze: A light current of air; a gentle wind.
·         Overcast: covered or obscured, as with clouds or mist.
·         Mild: Warm and full of sunshine
·         Daunt: to intimidate
