Unit 3 Lessons from History

The unit 4 for me was very interesting because it was about history around the world, for example one day we talked about Troy, the real history and obviously about the movie.

That topic helped me to understand vocabulary like: elderly, throughout and ancient.

Also we learned important things or rules about the different past forms. For example:

·         I wrote one blog yesterday, because I needed to pass the English course. This sentence is one example of use of simple past, use it, to talk about completed actions in the past.

·         Past continuous is used to talk about actions in progress at a particular time in the past. Example: I was watching TV when my mom called me.

·         To talk about actions which continued up to the past moment being talked about use past perfect continuous.

Form: Had + been + present participle

·         The form of past perfect is: had + present participle. It is used to talk about completed actions that happened before another action in the past.

·         I had just finished my exam when the teacher called me.

When we saw the page number 35, we discussed about the appearance of some things with the only objective to learn and use vocabulary like: leather (used to make shoes), wool (produced by goat), silk (used in expensive clothes), porcelain (used to make some trimmings to the house) and wood (trees).

At the end we discuss one topic related with the most important invention in the world, we had to choose between paper, the wheel, the television, the telephone, internet, car, gunpowder and the light bulb, and give some reasons that why it was the best invention for you?

My opinion was:

"I think the car is the most important invention, because with it is more easily arrive in different places. One disadvantage of it is the pollution that it produces and obviously if people don't use in the right way maybe it can hurt some people, it can cause accidents."
