Here you have a brief explanation of the integrative activity 1: My curriculum vitae.
First of all, check the following platform resources in order to know and practice the grammar notions and vocabulary that will help you answer the activity:
-Vocabulary S1
- I am… You are…
- A singular thing
- Describing myself and others
- Qualifying Adjectives
- Possessive adjectives
- Practice exercise. “Classmates”
- Practice Exercise. Descriptions
- Actividad formativa 2. Introducing my friend
In this activity you will have to download the file called Application form; in it, you will answer the requested personal data, such as your name, age, address, etc. If you don't want to share some real data, such as your address and phone number, don't worry, you can make it up. Remember that the important thing is to practice.
Example of the first part:
Last name: Sánchez * First name: Alma Middle name: Rosa **
* in this aspect only your first surname is requested.
** If you do not have a middle name, leave this blank empty.
In the last part you will write about your personality qualities and your physical appearance. As well as, give a brief description of the characteristics of your home.
Example qualities and physical appearance:
I am smart, funny and sociable. (personality qualities)
I’m tall and thin. (physical appearance)
I have blue eyes and straight hair. (physical appearance)
Example description of my house:
My house is blue with white. (Use colors to describe your house)
It has a great garden with beautiful flowers and a big tree. (Something special your house has outside)
***Do not describe all your house, only what a person can see from outside***
An important aspect regarding the descriptions that are requested is that you have to pay attention to the use of adjectives because they are written before the noun:
WRONG: eyes blue
CORRECT: blue eyes
After you have finished your activity, read aloud what you wrote and record it. Don't forget to share the audio link in the Word document.
It is important that you use the vocabulary from the unit to enrich your activities. In addition, consider that you are sharing data in English, so it will be incorrect for you to write in Spanish, instead of writing English. It is also important to clarify that there are some data that are not translated, such as proper names: names of people, countries, cities, streets, etc.
Watch the virtual sessions (Open spaces for learning), so that you can ask any questions you have regarding this activity. The programming of it can be seen in the News forum.

Les comparto una serie de errores que comúnmente se cometen en las actividades de esta semana. Lo anterior es con el fin de que ustedes no los cometan y logren la calificación máxima.
MY CURRICULUM VITAE
Errores comunes:
- Escribir en last name los dos apellidos. Sólo se está solicitando el apellido paterno.
- Escribir uno de tus apellidos en middle name. Recuerden que si no tienen un segundo nombre dejen el espacio vacío.
- Escribir la fecha de nacimiento en el orden incorrecto. Recuerden que el orden correcto es: mes+día+año.
- Escribir fecha de cumpleaños en lugar de fecha de nacimiento. La diferencia entre birth date y birthday es que en el primero debe incluir el año.
- Escribir en español la nacionalidad, ocupación y fecha de nacimiento.
- Traducir nombres propios (nombres de personas, de calles, ciudades, estado)
- Olvidar poner la fotografía.
- En las descripciones, escribir el adjetivo antes del sustantivo. Recuerden que en inglés se escriben al revés que en español: BLUE EYES.
- Incluir en la descripción cuestiones que te gustan o no te gustan hacer. Este aspecto no es requerido en esta actividad.
- No incluir el audio. Si no incluyen el audio en tu actividad, repercute en su calificación de manera significativa por lo que es un elemento muy importante a evaluar.
- No revisar el audio para corroborar de que funciona perfectamente.
- Hablar español en el audio, esto sobre todo se nota cuando mencionan los números.
THIS IS MY GREAT FAMILY
Errores comunes:
- Escribir en las descripciones I have en lugar de I am cuando para expresar la edad. Lo correcto es decir: I am 20 years old / She is 20 years old.
- En tercera persona escribir She/he have en lugar de She/he has. El verbo HAVE es un verbo irregular por lo que hay que tener cuidado cómo se utiliza en terceras personas.
- En las descripciones, no incluir toda la información requerida (la cual es parte de la unidad 1): nombre, edad, ocupación, parentesco, descripción física y personalidad.
- No utilizar signos de puntuación.
- No revisar la escritura de las palabras.
- No incluir las fotos de tu familia y sus miembros. Recuerden que las fotos pueden ser ficticias.
- No escribir las 4 descripciones. Recuerden que si no tienen suficientes parientes que describir, pueden inventar la información pues el objetivo de la actividad es que practiquen la gramática y el vocabulario.
- Escribir descripciones de más de 4 personas.
- Describir animales. Sabemos que algunos de ustedes consideran a sus mascotas como miembros de la familia, pero el vocabulario y la gramática que se debe utilizar en esta actividad no permite que los animales sean descritos.
- No incluir el audio. Si no incluyen el audio en tu actividad, repercute en su calificación de manera significativa por lo que es un elemento muy importante a evaluar.
- No revisar el audio para corroborar de que funciona perfectamente.
- Hablar español en el audio, esto sobre todo se nota cuando mencionan los números.
Y el mayor error de todos es no revisar los recursos, no contestar los ejercicios ni las actividades formativas, no practicar en el foro aprendiendo, no leer la rúbrica de evaluación, no ver la sesión virtual, no preguntar tus dudas... Es indispensable realizar todas estas actividades porque de esta manera estarán practicando todos los contenidos y con ello estarán seguros de lo que contestan en sus plantillas.
El traductor es una herramienta útil para buscar cómo se escriben las palabras que no conocen, pero no se debe utilizar para traducir textos completos porque, además de que su actividad presentará errores gramaticales, ustedes dejan de aprender ya que la aplicación estaría haciendo el trabajo mental por ustedes. Los invito a utilizar un diccionario para la traducción de las palabras que desconocen.
Recuerden: Cada actividad requiere el uso de estructuras gramaticales y vocabulario específicas, por lo que los invito a que siempre tengan este aspecto en consideración.
Espero que esta información les sea de utilidad. Quedo al pendiente de ustedes.
