Damos inicio a nuestro curso de inglés en su nivel elemental. En
la lección de hoy vamos a aprender a hablar sobre las mascotas.
Para poder expresarnos en estos casos aprenderemos tres nuevos
adjetivos, todos comenzando con la letra "I":
Interesting, Independent, Intelligent (interesante, independiente,
inteligente).
Elementary - pets
Study points
In this lesson, you will learn to talk about your pets. We will
learn three new adjectives, all beginning with
"I":
- Interesting,
- Independent,
- Intelligent.
Watch
We are now going to watch a short movie. Emilia and Nina are
talking about pets. What adjectives did they use to talk about
their animals?
Learn
Did you get those adjectives? How many did you find? Let´s
look at some of them:
- Independent. Cats are very independent. This means they are
happy to be on their own.
- Affectionate. Dogs are affectionate; this is the same as
saying dogs are friendly.
- Intelligent. Another word for intelligent is clever. Monkeys
are very intelligent.
- Interesting. Turtles are interesting. Turtles are quite
different from other pets. This makes them interesting.
We can also use these words to describe people.
He is interesting. She is very intelligent. James is
independent.
So what do we do if we want to say that two things are equal?
Cats are affectionate. So are dogs. Cats are as affectionate as
dogs. This means they are both equally friendly.
Does Nina think cats are as affectionate as dogs? Yes, Nina
thinks cats are not as affectionate as dogs.
When we want to say two things are equal, we use "as"
for an adjective and "as". Here are some more examples,
this time about people.
John is not as tall as me. He is not as friendly as his
brother.
Try
It is now your turn to practice speaking. I will show you part of
the movie. Watch the people, and then listen to me. Repeat what I
say,
"I like cats but they are not as friendly as
dogs."
"Cats aren´t as affectionate as dogs".
"Cats aren´t as intelligent as dogs".
Review points
In today´s lesson we have been talking about pets. We have
learn how to make comparison like:
"Cats are as clever as dogs".
"Cats are not as friendly as dogs".
We´ve also learn some useful adjectives. We can use these to
describe pets or people.
"An interesting person."
"An affectionate dog".
