INDIA
India, officially the Republic of India (IAST: Bhārat Gaṇarājya),[20][21][c] is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country (with over 1.2 billion people), and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the south-west, and the Bay of Bengal on the south-east, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west;[d] China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Myanmar (Burma) and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islandsshare a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia.
JAMAICA
is an island country situated in the Caribbean Sea, consisting of the third-largest island of the Greater Antilles. The island, 10,990 square kilometres (4,240 sq mi) in area, lies about 145 kilometres (90 mi) south of Cuba, and 191 kilometres (119 mi) west of Hispaniola, the island containing the nation-states of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Jamaica is the fourth-largest island country in the Caribbean.[6]
Previously inhabited by the indigenous Arawak and Taíno peoples, the island came under Spanish rule following the arrival of Christopher Columbus in 1494. Named Santiago, it remained a possession of Spain until 1655, when England (later Great Britain) conquered the island and renamed it Jamaica. Under British rule, Jamaica became a leading sugar exporter, with its plantation economy highly dependent on slaves imported from Africa, followed later by Chinese and Indian indentured labour. All slaves were fully emancipated in 1838, and independence from the United Kingdom was achieved on 6 August 1962.

RESTAURANT PRESENTATION
David Guerra 9°B
I am so tired , please get in to this restaurant to eat something, and in that way we could gain energy to finish the celebration here in Ireland, I know that here we could learn something about this beautiful country, because I am sure that each one has something to tell about this.
Juan Diego Pineda 9°A
Yes, I will tell you about the history of ST Patrick, as you know this is celebrated in March 17th each year; it is the feast day of Ireland patron, Saint Patrick. This is celebrated in Ireland and all over the world by people of Ireland heritage; it has become a celebration of Irish culture. Saint Patrick was a Cristian missioner and a priest, he died in March 17th. what about you Elena ?
Elena Borserini 9°A
I will talk about the clothes; they mainly use green clothes, because Saint Patrick used a green shamrock as a symbol to explain the holy trinity to Irish pagans, that is the reason why the green color has expanded itself all over the world.
Lina Barrera 9°B
Let me say this, the colour green has been associated with Ireland since at least the 1640s, when the green harp flag was used by the Irish Catholic Confederation. Green ribbons and shamrocks have been worn on St Patrick's Day since at least the seventeenth century.
Sebastian Garnica 9°B
Ok but let me talk about the most important thing for me that is the music, because without music there is no happiness in the party, the music here in Ireland is very different from other as the Harp is one the main musical instrument taking the attention of all people over the world.
Carlos Escobar 9°A
No, no , no, you’re wrong Sebastian, the food is the most important in this party, if you don’t eat, you won’t have energy, I will recommend a delicious dish which is the holy food in this celebration, let´s order corned beef and cabbage.
Miguel Fuentes 9°A Yes, and let´s order green beer which is the most especial beverage here in Ireland, this drinking is very popular, you can find it in every bar here in Dublin. Let’s eat and enjoy!!

Grammar Vocabulary
Adjective – a word used to modify or describe a noun or pronoun.
Adverb – a word that is used to modify an adjective, verb, or adverb.
There are three forms of adjectives and adverbs used to show varying degrees of comparison: the positive, the comparative, and the superlative.
The positive form is used when there is no direct comparison being made to anything specific, but is used to offer a broad or general comparison.
The comparative form is used when two things are being compared with each other.
The superlative form is used when more than two things are being compared with one another.
Regular forms for one and two syllable words.
positive – no change (big, strong, long, etc.)
comparative – words end in "er" (bigger, stronger, longer, etc.)
superlative – words end in "est" (biggest, strongest, longest, etc.)
Regular forms for three or more syllable words.
positive – no change (understandable, comfortable, etc.)
comparative – use "more" (more understandable, more comfortable, etc.)
superlative – use "most" (most understandable, most comfortable, etc.)
Adverbs that end in "ly" always use "more" or "most", such as "more quickly" or "most quickly"..
Remember that these are general rules and many adjectives and adverbs have irregular forms.

MAKE AND LET
'Let' can mean 'allow' or 'give permission': David's mother let him use her car.
◦ We can also use 'let' to mean 'allow' in the sense of 'make something possible': This student card lets you book discount flights.
◦ Let's + infinitive is often used to make a suggestion: Let's go to the cinema tonight.
◦ (Although 'let's' is a contraction of 'let us', we don't use 'let us' in this situation). We don't use 'let' in the passive.
Make:
'Make' can mean 'force someone to do something that he or she doesn't want to do': His mother made him clean his room.
◦ It can also be used to mean 'cause someone to do something' (the thing can be good or bad): That film made me cry.
◦ If we use 'make' in the passive, we use the infinitive with 'to' instead of the bare infinitive: She was made to work on Saturday, even though she hated working at weekends.
◦ We can also use subject + make + object + adjective. This means 'cause the object to be the adjective' (the adjective can be good or bad): Her story made me really happy.

◦ We can also use subject + make + object + adjective. This means 'cause the object to be the adjective' (the adjective can be good or bad): Her story made me really happy.
◦ The traffic jam made us late.

•
The passive voice emphasizes the action
itself. The action is more important than the person who does the action. Example:

May 19th - 22nd / 2015Compound Nouns
A compound noun is a noun that is made with two or more words. A compound noun is usually [noun + noun] or [adjective + noun], but there are other combinations (see below). It is important to understand and recognize compound nouns. Each compound noun acts as a single unit and can be modified by adjectives and other nouns.
There are three forms for compound nouns:
- open or spaced - space between words (tennis shoe)
- hyphenated - hyphen between words (six-pack)
- closed or solid - no space or hyphen between words (bedroom)
Here are some examples of compound nouns:

will
ONE OF THE MOST COMMON WAYS TO TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE IS WITH WILL, FOR EXAMPLE: I WILL CALL YOU TONIGHT. WE OFTEN CALL THIS THE "FUTURE SIMPLE TENSE", BUT TECHNICALLY THERE ARE NO FUTURE TENSES IN ENGLISH. IN THIS CONSTRUCTION, THE WORD WILL IS A MODAL AUXILIARY VERB.
HERE ARE THE THREE MAIN WAYS THAT WE USE WILL TO TALK ABOUT THE FUTURE.
NO PLAN
WE USE WILL WHEN THERE IS NO PRIOR PLAN OR DECISION TO DO SOMETHING BEFORE WE SPEAK. WE MAKE THE DECISION AT THE TIME OF SPEAKING. LOOK AT THESE EXAMPLES:
- HOLD ON. I WILL GET A PEN.
- WE WILL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP YOU.
- MAYBE WE WILL STAY IN AND WATCH TELEVISION TONIGHT.
IN THESE EXAMPLES, WE HAD NO FIRM PLAN BEFORE SPEAKING. THE DECISION WAS MADE AT THE TIME OF SPEAKING.
WE OFTEN USE WILL WITH THE VERB THINK:
- I THINK I WILL GO TO THE GYM TOMORROW.
- I THINK I WILL HAVE A HOLIDAY NEXT YEAR.
- I DON'T THINK I WILL BUY THAT CAR.
IN THESE EXAMPLES, WE HAD NO FIRM PLAN BEFORE SPEAKING. THE DECISION WAS MADE AT THE TIME OF SPEAKING.
PREDICTION
WE OFTEN USE WILL TO MAKE A PREDICTION ABOUT THE FUTURE. AGAIN, THERE IS NO FIRM PLAN. WE ARE SAYING WHAT WE THINK WILL HAPPEN. HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES:
- IT WILL RAIN TOMORROW.
- PEOPLE WON'T GO TO JUPITER BEFORE THE 22ND CENTURY.
- WHO DO YOU THINK WILL GET THE JOB?
EXERCISES
WRITE IN WILL OR WON'T.
1. DON'T GET UP, I ________ANSWER THE PHONE.
2. IF YOU EAT TOO MUCH YOU __________PUT ON WEIGHT.
4. DON'T STAY OUT TOO LATE, YOU _________GET UP ON TIME.
4. I DON'T THINK SHE ____________PASS THE EXAM, SHE ISN'T VERY GOOD.
5. YOU MAY AS WELL GO HOME NOW, I__________BE BACK FOR HOURS.
6. GO TO BED AND YOU ___________FEEL BETTER TOMORROW.
7. IT'S MARY'S BIRTHDAY NEXT MONTH. SHE___________BE 18.
8. THEY ARE ON HOLIDAY FOR TWO WEEKS SO THEY __________BE HERE TOMORROW.
9. __________THEY WANT DINNER?
10. IF THE WEATHER IS OK, THE PLANE __________ LEAVE ON TIME
2. IF YOU EAT TOO MUCH YOU __________PUT ON WEIGHT.
4. DON'T STAY OUT TOO LATE, YOU _________GET UP ON TIME.
4. I DON'T THINK SHE ____________PASS THE EXAM, SHE ISN'T VERY GOOD.
5. YOU MAY AS WELL GO HOME NOW, I__________BE BACK FOR HOURS.
6. GO TO BED AND YOU ___________FEEL BETTER TOMORROW.
7. IT'S MARY'S BIRTHDAY NEXT MONTH. SHE___________BE 18.
8. THEY ARE ON HOLIDAY FOR TWO WEEKS SO THEY __________BE HERE TOMORROW.
9. __________THEY WANT DINNER?

PHRASAL VERBS

- LOOK FORWARD – ANTICIPATE WITH PLEASURE (LOOK FORWARD TO MEETING SOMEONE)
THERE ARE NO RULES THAT MIGHT EXPLAIN THE MEANING OF PHRASAL VERBS. ALL YOU CAN DO IS LOOK THEM UP IN A GOOD DICTIONARY AND STUDY THEIR MEANINGS.

Series of Completed Actions
We use the Simple Past to list a series of completed actions in the past. These actions happen 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on.
Examples:
- I finished work, walked to the beach, and found a nice place to swim.
- He arrived from the airport at 8:00, checked into the hotel at 9:00, and met the others at 10:00.
- Did you add flour, pour in the milk, and then add the eggs?
Duration in Past
The Simple Past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. A duration is a longer action often indicated by expressions such as: for two years, for five minutes, all day, all year, etc.
Examples:
- I lived in Brazil for two years.
- Shauna studied Japanese for five years.
- They sat at the beach all day.
- They did not stay at the party the entire time.
- We talked on the phone for thirty minutes.
- A: How long did you wait for them?B: We waited for one hour.
Habits in the Past
The Simple Past can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past. It can have the same meaning as "used to." To make it clear that we are talking about a habit, we often add expressions such as: always, often, usually, never, when I was a child, when I was younger, etc.
Examples:
- I studied French when I was a child.
- He played the violin.
- He didn't play the piano.
- Did you play a musical instrument when you were a kid?

Longer Actions in Progress Now
