ACTIVITY 1
“INVENTIONS AND TECHNOLOGY IN OUR LIVES”

2. OUR ENGLISH
RULES

3. En Tacna se desarrolla el comercio de
importación y exportación de
artefactos de última tecnología por
ser una ciudad limítrofe. A lo largo de
los años, Tacna ha crecido
económicamente por el comercio
mutuo con el país vecino de Chile.
Muchos artefactos eléctricos modernos
se pueden adquirir a menor costo en
Tacna. Al ser artefactos innovadores,
desplazan a los tradicionales y
facilitan el quehacer diario de las
personas. Por ejemplo, existen
exprimidores de naranja eléctricos,
aspiradoras de piso automáticas,
televisores más sofisticados, parlantes
inalámbricos, entre otros. ¿Puedes
identificar inventos que nos ayudan
en acciones de nuestra vida diaria?
¿Tienes algún invento favorito?
¿Podrías extraer información
específica sobre algún invento al
leer un texto escrito en inglés?
Elaborar una Ficha informativa a
partir de un texto en inglés para
brindar información específica
sobre el invento favorito de dos
personas
Comprender textos breves y
sencillos en inglés identificando
palabras y frases simples, para
completar, en este idioma, una
ficha informativa sobre el invento

Look around you. Look around your house, your neighbourhood, and
your community. Can you see technology all around you? Generally,
we think that technology is sophisticated and that it is not present
in our lives. But technology is everything that helps us solve
problems every day and makes our lives easier. Maya and Victor will
talk about their favourite pieces of technology
Hi! I’m Maya Penn. I’m from The U.S. My favourite piece
of technology is my sewing machine. I like my sewing
machine because I can make clothing with it. I love
drawing and designing clothes, eco-friendly clothes, of
course. Also, my other favourite piece of technology is
my laptop. I like my laptop because I can draw and
create animation on my computer. It is really fantastic. I
think technology is all around us.
Hello! I’m Victor Barraza. I’m Peruvian. My
favourite piece of technology is my bicycle
because I can go to different places with it. I am
the inventor of eco-friendly bicycles. They are
made of bamboo. I love riding my eco-friendly
bike every day. Another of my favourite piece of
technology is my smartphone. I live in Lima, but
my parents live in Tingo María. I like my
smartphone because I can speak and make
videocalls with my parents and friends.
Technology is really great.
