END OF TERM TEST

Exams week is here!. Don't panic, organize your time according to your needs and study and review very hard so you can do your best. Following you will find the answer sheet for the exercises on the passive voice.

Answer sheet Passive voice

You might find useful:

A table of tenses (in the active voice) so you can refresh how they are formed.

Two tables of how tenses change in the passive voice. At your choice:

A complete chart where you'll find all tenses as well as modals.
A sumarized one with the present, past and future (simple,progressive,perfect) tenses.


Besides the above , I have done a short exercise on passives with two objects. Read the instructions carefully before doing the exercise, otherwise your final mark can be affected. And "yes", the mark of the exercise will be part of your final mark. It will be counted as an exercise or task.


If you need any help or you have any problem during the weekend while you're studying e-mail me and I'll try to give you a hand.


See you in the test!

2012: THE MAYAN ARMAGEDDON

There has long been speculation that on December 21, 2012, the world as we know it will end. Some predict that we'll be wiped out by a natural disaster like a giant tidal wave, an Earth-wide earthquake or a tremendous volcanic eruption. Others believe that on that day in December, the Earth will collide with a mysterious "Planet X," causing magnetic pole shifts, gravitational reversals or a black hole so big that our solar system will simply disappear. 

What's more, believers say that this news is not really news at all; on the contrary, they argue, we have known about the coming apocalypse since the ancient Maya predicted and recorded it on their Long Count calendar more than 2,200 years ago.

But Mayas were not the only ones, the Egyptians, also looked into astronomy to predict future events and saw the year 2012 as the year when   civilizacion will disappear. 

Listen to the documentary on the Mayas' prediction for the end of the world.

Now listen to the documentary on The Egyptian's vision of the date.
