So & such
This document compares the uses of "so" and "such" and how they can strengthen meaning. It notes that "so" is used with adjectives and adverbs like "so stupid" or "so quickly," while "such" is used with nouns like "such a story." Both "so" and "such" make the adjective or adverb stronger. Constructions like "so...that" and "such...that" can also strengthen meaning, often omitting the "that." Examples are provided to illustrate the different uses.
books
This document lists 6 famously ghostwritten books including The Baby-Sitters Club by Ann M. Martin which was ghostwritten by Peter Lerangis, Garden of Shadows by V.C. Andrews ghostwritten by Andrew Neiderman, and Imprisoned With the Pharaohs by Harry Houdini ghostwritten by H.P. Lovecraft. It also mentions Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell by David Michaels ghostwritten by Raymond Benson, the Sweet Valley series by Francine Pascal ghostwritten by several writers, and Living History by Hillary Clinton ghostwritten by three writers.
Adjectives review
This document discusses various topics but provides little context or information to summarize, as each section is either 1-2 words or uses ellipses without any surrounding text. No clear main topics, events or outcomes were included to summarize in 3 sentences or less.
Past events
The document discusses different types of relationships and how they are defined. It also discusses taking actions in the past and distinguishing between actions that occurred before or after another past action. Specifically, it provides examples of putting someone on a plane before telling one's wife, deciding to punish a husband before answering, and how a son changed after returning home from a trip. It also gives examples of questioning whether someone was present at arrival or had already left, and if someone was home or had just gotten home at the time of a phone call.
Autobiografías
The document lists 4 Peruvian authors: Mario Vargas Llosa (born 1936), Ciro Alegría (1909-1967), Julio Ramón Ribeyro (1929-1994), and José María Arguedas (1911-1969). All 4 authors were born in Peru and contributed to Peruvian literature during the 20th century. The document provides the names and life spans of 4 influential Peruvian writers from the 1900s-1900s.
Defining minimalism
1) The document is a worksheet for a BBC video about minimalist art. It provides exercises for students to complete before, during, and after watching the video.
2) The video features interviews with three art critics who discuss the origins and key aspects of minimalism. It emerged in New York in the 1950s-1960s and aimed to strip art down to its bare essentials using basic geometric shapes.
3) One example discussed is Carl Andre's "Equivalent VIII", a pile of bricks displayed at the Tate Gallery. Many viewers reacted negatively, questioning how it could be considered art. The worksheet asks students to discuss their own reaction to this work.
Culture
The document asks a series of questions about cities with culture, modernized cities, cities shaped like birds, cities with fewer past visitors, cities with buildings by the same architect, cities that attract business people, and cities that have belonged to different communities. It also contains questions about defining culture, who wrote Hamlet, where the Prime Minister of Canada lives, what time Americans finish work, and how Germans greet each other. The document ends with a note about group quizzes.
Pilots
Pilots learn a special form of English for aviation communication. This special English is taught to pilots to use for aviation purposes. The document discusses a pilot learning this special aviation English.
Formal informal
The document contains 4 conversations between different people. The first conversation between two people is informal, with one person asking how the other's day is going. The second conversation is more formal, with one person introducing another by their title and last name. The third conversation between two women named Jane and an unknown person is also informal, with one commenting on the hot weather. The fourth conversation involves one person addressing a group formally, apologizing for starting late and requesting to begin.
City life
Both statements argue opposing views on whether living in a big city or away from a big city allows one to feel alive, with the first stating big cities are necessary and the second stating they are not necessary. The short document presents two contradictory quotes on this topic without further context or resolution.
City life and_family_life
This document appears to be a worksheet for an activity where students find classmates who match certain criteria about where they have lived, family members, and family history. The worksheet includes 12 questions for students to find classmates who fit, such as someone who has lived in a small town, doesn't like big cities, is thinking of moving, or has family living abroad. The document provides prompts but no other context or answers.
Gui getting to_know_you
This worksheet contains questions to get to know someone by learning about where they live, their family, activities they enjoy, food and media preferences, transportation habits, travel experiences, and things that make them happy each day. It includes questions about one's name, occupation, languages spoken, free time activities, tastes in food and films from childhood to present, online reading habits, last film seen, commute, desire to live elsewhere, and three small things that make a day good. The goal is to have the person provide short autobiographical responses to gain insight into their life experiences and interests.
