Editorial

La mejor forma de aprender inglés es ”hablando inglés”, así que el objetivo principal de nuestro programa es el de-sarrollo de las habilidades orales del alumno. Para alcanzar dicha meta, el alumno se encontrará con las siguien-tes barreras: pronunciación, entona-ción, fluidez, escasez de vocabulario y falta de confianza para comunicarse sin temor a ser ridiculizado. Los siete pasos de nuestro procedimiento, como ya hemos explicado, se encargarán de derribar tales obstáculos, y en las ase-sorías académicas usted mismo lo irá comprobando. Sin embargo, debido a las dinámicas desplegadas dentro de las asesorías, ha sido necesario implementar ciertas vías, por medio de las cuales el alumno refuerce sus habilidades conversacio-nales, sobre todo los concernientes al incremento de confianza y de vocabula-rio especializado en diferentes áreas, ya que los grupos serán más grandes (y por lo mismo la interacción con otros alumnos, más desafiante), y los temas tratados serán más específicos. Así como es muy importante tomar en cuenta que la participación a estas ac-tividades brindan un alto porcentaje de aprendizaje por la utilidad de la infor-mación que se que se maneja y el voca-bulario clasificado que se adquiere al asistir a la mayor cantidad posible. Usted cuenta con la posibilidad de par-ticipar en cualquiera de las actividades especiales, avanzadas y de entreteni-miento, valiéndose de dos diferentes

formas de reservarlas: la primera es acudiendo a nuestros calendarios men-suales que encontrará usted en la re-cepción de cada una de las filiales de Camlex Corporation, y la segunda, co-mo consecuencia de las indicaciones del asesor, en caso de que así lo juzga-ra necesario. A continuación, la lista de actividades en sus tres categorías:

Formación Fonética

Pronunciación Entonación

Dialogo Lectura

Escritura

Avanzadas Mesa Redonda Panel Foro Debate Conversación por Nivel Conferencia Vocabulario Seminario

Entretenimiento Talleres

Club de Video Club Canciones Visitas Guiadas

Excursiones

Le invito a participar en estas activida-des preparadas para usted.

Verbos Frasales

Some particles can be separated from the verb so that a noun and pronoun can be inserted, and some particles can't be separated from the verb. In addition, some phrases are intransitive, meaning they cannot take a direct object.

Eat out (no object): have a meal in a restaurant.

"I'm too tired to cook tonight. Why don't we eat out?"

Egg on (separable): urge / encourage greatly toward doing some-thing (usually something negative).

"At first Bob and Chuck were just having a mild argument, but Bob's friends egged them on until they started fighting."

End up (1. no object): finally arrive at; arrive at an unexpected place.

"We got lost last night and ended up in the next town."

End up (2. no object): arrive somewhere as a result or consequence.

"You're working too hard. If you don't take it easy, you'll end up in the hospital!"

Face up to (inseparable): admit to; take responsibility for.

"You can't pretend that you're doing OK in this course, Joe. Sooner or later, you'll have to face up to the fact that you're failing it."

Fall through (no object): not happen. (Note: describes something that was planned but didn't happen.)

"We had originally intended to go to Mexico for our vacation, but our trip fell through when I got sick."

Page 19: Polanco´s Activities

Verbos Preposicionales

There are many verbs after which a particular preposition is used. The preposi-tional phrase is followed by an object (mostly a noun or a clause). If the object is a verb, the verb must be in the gerund form ('­ing' form). There are prepositional verbs with only one object and prepositional verbs which can have one or two ob-jects. 1. Prepositional verbs / Verb + preposition

Form:

The verb has one object and cannot be used with two objects. The preposition comes before the object. Have you applied for the job? In questions the preposition sometimes comes at the end of the sentence. What do you blame the insurance company of?

Use Sometimes the meaning of prepositional verbs can be explained from the mean-ing of the separate parts (e.g. run away). In other cases the combination of the verb and preposition gets a new meaning which cannot be explained from the separate parts (e.g. to look after).

Sleep in I slept in this morning.

Slim down You have slimmed down a lot since last spring break.

Slip up You must not slip up again.

Slow down You're going to fast. Please slow down.

Smash into The car smashed into the side of a bus.

Sober up Some coffee definitely won't sober them up.

Speak up Please speak up. I nearly can't hear you.
