Tennis is a sport that is practiced in a plain, divided by a network. The dispute between two players (singles) or between two pairs (doubles) playing with rackets and balls and you must hit the ball with the racket to go from side to side of the field passing over the network.

The first references of tennis taking place in France, named "Jeu de Paume" because at first they hit the ball with his hand. But later they began to use rackets. It originated in Europe in eighteenth century and expanded in the beginning by the Anglophone countries, especially among the high classes. Today's tennis has become universal, and is played in almost every country in the world. Since 1926, with the creation of the first tour, is a professional sport. It is also an Olympic sport since Seoul 1988.

THE PLACE FOR PRACTISE OR PLAY:

Tennis is played on a rectangular track. The measurements depends on the mode you play (singles and doubles). For individuals is 23.78 meters long and 8.23 meters. To double the length is the same and the width is10.97 meters. These limits are marked by lines, which are considered part of the course. A mesh net-shaped track divided into two halves. The net height at the poles is 1.06 meters, and in the middle 0.914 meters. On each side of the network there are two rectangles, measuring 6.40 meters long and 4.11 meters wide.

REGLAMENT:

A tennis match is composed of sets: the first to win a certain number of sets is the winner. Each set consists of games. In each game there is a player who draws, which alternates. In turn, the games are composed of points. The first who wins 4 points is the winner of the game; there are six games.

THE FIRST CONDITIONAL by Sandra Gutiérrez

Las oraciones condicionales tienen dos partes:
1. La oración subordinada con if que expresa una condición.
2. La oración principal que expresa el resultado (si la condición se cumple o no).
Hay tres clases de condicionales, cada una de las cuales contiene dos tiempos verbales diferentes.
La primera condicional habla de las posibles acciones o acontecimientos que pueden ocurrir o no. La oración condicional comienza con if y va generalmente en presente simple, mientras que la oración principal va generalmente en futuro con “will” y describe lo que ocurrirá si la condición se cumple, o no llega a cumplirse.
IF + SUJ + VERB + REST OF SENTENCE /// SUJ + WILL+ VERB+ REST OF SENTENCE
-If Alice works hard, she will pass the test.
-If you play with matches, you will burn your fingers.
Tanto la oración principal como la subordinada pueden ir en primer lugar, pero si la oración subordinada va en primer lugar, hemos de poner una coma entre ambas.
-If she likes the dress, she will buy it.
La primera condicional puede usarse también para hacer sugerencias y dar instrucciones o mandatos. En este uso se puede sustituir “will” por un modal o un imperativo.
-If you go to Rome, you might visit the Coliseum.
-If you need my help, call me!
La primera condicional expresa asimismo relaciones objetivas o habituales que son verdaderas e inmutables. En estas condicionales el verbo suele ir en presente simple en ambas oraciones y puede sustituirse “IF” por “WHEN” o “WHENEVER”.
If / When you freeze water, it turns to ice.
If ... not suele sustituirse por unless. Unless tiene un sentido exclusivo (sólo en el caso de que …)
-That dog won´t bite if you don´t kick him.
-That dog won´t bite unless you kick him.

Going to or will by Sandra Gutiérrez

When we want to talk about future facts or things we believe to be true about the future, we use 'will'.

The President will serve for four years.
The boss won't be very happy.
I'm sure you'll like her.
I'm certain he'll do a good job.

If we are not so certain about the future, we use 'will' with expressions such as 'probably', 'possibly', 'I think', 'I hope'.

I hope you'll visit me in my home one day.
She'll probably be a great success.
I'll possibly come but I may not get back in time.
I think we'll get on well.

If you are making a future prediction based on evidence in the present situation, use 'going to'.

Not a cloud in the sky. It's going to be another warm day.
Look at the queue. We're not going to get in for hours.
The traffic is terrible. We're going to miss our flight.
Be careful! You're going to spill your coffee.

At the moment of making a decision, use 'will'. Once you have made the decision, talk about it using 'going to'.

I'll call Jenny to let her know. Sarah, I need Jenny's number. I'm going to call her about the meeting.
I'll come and have a drink with you but I must let Harry know. Harry, I'm going to have a drink with Simon.

Thanksgiving Day

In the USA, Thanksgiving Day is on the fourth Thursday in November.
The first Thanksgiving in the USA a feast in 1620 shared by the Pilgrims (who had recently Plymouth Colony in what is now Massachusetts) and the Wampanoag Indians, who their corn , pumpkinand wild turkeys This first feast was not until more than ten years later. Thanksgiving was a national holiday in 1863 by President Abraham Lincoln.

On Sept. 6, 1620 the Pilgrims left Plymouth (England) for the New World on a ship the Mayflower. They 110 men, women and children. The voyage 65 days. When they , the Pilgrims afraid of the local Native American Indians. But the Patuxets a peaceful group and anything bad to them.

The first winter very hard for the Pilgrims: of the 110 Pilgrims who England, only 50 the first winter. But on March 16, 1621, an Indian into the settlement. His name Samoset. He soon with another Indian named Squanto, who could speak English and the Pilgrims how to plant Indian corn. The harvest in October very successful and the Pilgrims enough food for the winter. It was time to celebrate.

Nowadays, Thanksgiving Day in America is a time to offer thanks, of family reunions and holiday meals. A time of turkeys, pumpkin pie and Indian corn. A time of holiday parades, football games on TV and giant balloons.

Will (Posted by Javi Gombao)

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'll get a pen.
We will see what we can do to help you.
Maybe we'll 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'll go to the gym tomorrow.
I think I'll have a holiday next year.
I don't think I'll buy that car.

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?

Be

The verb be is an exception with will. Even when we have a very firm plan, and we are not speaking spontaneously, we can use will with be. Look at these examples:

I will be in London tomorrow.
There will be 50 people at the party.
The meeting will be at 9.30 am

THE MAN WHO SOLD THE WORLD

http://www.youtube.com/watch?hl=en&v=fregObNcHC8&gl=US

We passed upon the stair,we spoke of was and when
Although I wasn't there,he said I was his friend
Which came as some surprise I spoke into his eyes
I thought you died alone,a long long time ago

Oh no,not me
I never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

I laughed and shook his hand,and made my way back home
I searched for form and land,for years and years I roamed
I gazed a gazley stare at all the millions here
We must have died along,a long long time ago

Who knows? not me
We never lost control
You're face to face
With the man who sold the world

XAVIER VICEDO

both...and , neither...nor: USE

Voy a explicar los usos de “neither”, “nor” ,“either” y “or”. La principal dificultad que presenta este tema es que tanto “either” como “neither”suelen significar lo mismo en el contexto de la frase.

NEITHER AND NOR

La traducción literal es: "ni" o "tampoco" dependiendo de como se use en cada frase. "Neither" se utiliza conjuntamente con “nor” que es una conjunción; es decir, sirve para unir dos oraciones. En este caso significa: “ni”

               Por ejemplo: “Ni sucio ni limpio”. “Neither dirty nor clean”.

Puede también significar “tampoco”:

                 Por ejemplo: “I don't want to eat it. Neither do I.

EITHER

“Either , como“neither” tiene varios significados y usos. Veremos que en muchas ocasiones el uso de “either” es opcional, es decir, la misma idea se puede expresar con “neither” o con “either, dependiendo de como lo prefieras.

Either lo utilizamos conjuntamente con “or” que es otra conjunción. En este caso significa “o” , “o bien” .

                    Por ejemplo: “ You can have either car or moto.”

OTROS USOS.........
Tanto neither como either pueden ser analizados o cumplir otras funciones dentro del contexto de una frase. Por ejemplo los dos pueden ser adjetivos, pueden cualificar una cosa o pueden ser pronombres, es decir para sustituir un nombre.

EJERCICIO FÁCIL:
1- Traduce estas frases e indica la función de cada uno ( con neither and nor)

Ni esto ni lo otro.

No me gusta ni el café ni el té.

Ni sabe ni le importa.

Used to

Used To

FORM

[used to + VERB]

Example:

I used to go to the beach every day.

It is better not to use "used to" in questions or negative forms; however, this is sometimes done in informal spoken English. It is better to ask questions and create negative sentences using Simple Past.

USE 1 Habit in the Past

"Used to" expresses the idea that something was an old habit that stopped in the past. It indicates that something was often repeated in the past, but it is not usually done now.

Examples:

Jerry used to study English.
Sam and Mary used to go to Mexico in the summer.
I used to start work at 9 o'clock.
Christine used to eat meat, but now she is a vegetarian.

USE 2 Past Facts and Generalizations

"Used to" can also be used to talk about past facts or generalizations which are no longer true.

Examples:

I used to live in Paris.
Sarah used to be fat, but now she is thin.
George used to be the best student in class, but now Lena is the best.
Oranges used to cost very little in Florida, but now they are quite expensive.

"Used to" vs. Simple Past

Both Simple Past and "Used to" can be used to describe past habits, past facts and past generalizations; however, "used to" is preferred when emphasizing these forms of past repetition in positive sentences. On the other hand, when asking questions or making negative sentences, Simple Past is preferred.

Examples:

You used to play the piano.
Did you play the piano when you were young?
You did not play the piano when you were young.

ACTIVE / PASSIVE

Examples:

Jerry used to pay the bills. Active
The bills used to be paid by Jerry. Passive
