A. Answer the questions below. Use the examples as models of the grammar and
vocabulary you have to use.

1. Why didnt you study English before? (List at least 5 reasons in a

composition.)

Example:

One of the reasons why I didnt study English before it is because I thought it
was too difficult. I didnt understand my English teacher at school and that
was frustrating.
 The main reason I had not studied English before was because I saw
it unnecessary.

Another reason why in my school, did not come from the same subject
"verb to be" and I found it boring

I did not understand and did not pay much attention to that class.

I was frustrated that I could not learn the things that left us jobs.

The tools with which the classes dictated were not dynamic, they were
boring.

2. How different would things be if you had learned English before? (Name and
explain at least 5 things.)

Example:

If I had learned English some years ago I would have accepted a job a
multinational company offered me five years ago. One of the requirements
was to speak English and my level back then was very low.

First, if I had learned English before, I would not feel so bad when I
needed to speak or understand English and I succeeded.

I would not have missed opportunities to meet people from other

countries.

I would have helped foreign tourists on several occasions when they

asked me something in English and I do not know what they are telling
me.

If I had taken English before, it would not be so difficult to do these

virtual courses.

It would have served me well in my civil engineering studies.

B. Record an audio file of yourself answering the following questions. Use the
examples as models of the grammar and vocabulary you have to use.
 1. Why are you studying English? (List and explain at least 4 reasons.)

Example:

Im studying English because I finally decided that if I want to improve my

professional profile becoming bilingual is essential.

2. In what ways are you going to benefit from this learning?

Example:

Being competent in English is going to increase the opportunities of landing a more

satisfying and better-paid job. We live in an international open market and English
is the most important language.
