Estimados alumnos: Aquí os presentamos las actividades que debéis realizar durante el verano los alumnos que hayáis suspendido el curso que os corresponda. Los materiales que aquí incluimos han de entregarse cuando se venga a hacer el examen de septiembre. Para facilitaros la tarea, adjuntamos hojas o documentos con las respuestas: unas veces va en un documento aparte y otras, en el mismo archivo, al final del mismo. NO COPIÉIS: no tiene sentido; mirad las respuestas una vez hecho el ejercicio. La idea de poner las respuestas es para que vayáis viendo si vais mejorando y vuestro progreso. Hay algo que deberéis hacer por vuestra cuenta: las redacciones deberán ser revisadas por una persona que os pueda ayudar; además, debéis utilizar el diccionario tanto como sea necesario para hacer estas actividades. Podéis consultar también las páginas web recomendadas, las que conozcáis que tengan ejercicios de vuestro nivel con respuestas, o las de vuestros libros de texto para ampliación. En la parte del examen de septiembre de redacción, se espera de vosotros que empleéis un vocabulario suficiente, sabiendo separar bien las frases mediante puntos y comas o, en el caso de frases compuestas, que sepáis enlazarlas con las conjunciones aprendidas a lo largo del curso. La lógica, cohesión ( concordancias), c oncordancias), coherencia ( que tenga sentido) así como un uso de la gramática adecuado y de los tiempos verbales serán importantes a la hora de calificar. El valor de todas estas actividades supondrá hasta un punto en el examen de septiembre siempre que el resultado de vuestro examen sea de , AL MENOS, UN CUATRO . Así se contempla en nuestra programación del Departamento. Buen verano. Un saludo a todos.

Optional Reading Read the text and answer the questions that follow . Dondé’s Faux Art I
Daniele Dondé is often called the “King of Copies”. That is because he paints copies of paintings by famous artists. The originals of these paintings hang in the world’s most famous art museums and are extremely valuable. Dondé’s copies are obviously much less valuable than the originals, yet many people claim that they are just as good. In fact, it is often difficult to see the difference between Dondé’s copies and the original paintings.
II
Dondé is responsible for a new trend in the art world known as faux art . It aims to make great masterpieces available to people at prices that they can afford. Unlike forgery, faux art is not created in order to deceive people. Copy masters like Dondé do not attempt to fool people into thinking that the copies are the original paintings. Instead they make it very clear that their paintings are “legal fakes”.
III
Dondé was first attracted to the idea of faux art after he decided to sell a collection of his family paintings. To his dismay, many of the paintings turned out to be forgeries. He decided to discover who had deceived his family. Surprisingly, when Dondé finally found the forger, Sergio Uggi, he didn’t hand him over to the police. Instead, he offered Uggi the chance to work for him. Dondé wanted Uggi to stop creating fakes for dishonest gallery owners who were trying to cheat collectors. Dondé encouraged Uggi to copy valuable masterpieces in order to make them accessible to the general public. Uggi agreed and became the first legal artist in Dondé’s faux art movement.
IV
Today, Dondé works with over 20 copy masters. He displays their work in exhibitions in major cities all over the world. The paintings are appreciated by art lovers and collectors alike.
V
Dondé began the faux art movement in an attempt to put an end to the kind of injustice that had been done to his family. He wanted to stop artists from providing dishonest art de alers with high quality fakes that could be used to deceive people. He could not have imagined that faux art would turn out to be one of the biggest and most popular art movements in the world.

Choose the correct answer. (3 points)
Dondé’s copies … . a. can be seen in famous art museums b. are almost identical to the original paintings c. are more expensive than the original paintings d. are not accessible to the general public

Pet Airways I
Most commercial airlines are fairly similar in appearance and service. In Business Class, food may be tastier, seats wider and attention more personal, but otherwise there is little variation. However, one new company has revolutionised commercial air travel.
II
Until 2009, pet owners who needed to fly with their pets had to place the animals under their seat or send them as cargo along with their suitcases. Dan Wiesel and Alysa Binder, owners of a dog called Zoe, found this unacceptable, and as a result, they set up Pet Airways. Established in 2009 for pets only, Pet Airways flies its passengers to several destinations within the United States. It uses planes that have been specially modified to accommodate animal carriers in a temperature-controlled and well-lit cabin. Animals – dogs, cats and some smaller animals – are monitored by trained attendants every fifteen minutes during the flight, and given “bathroom breaks” when necessary.
III
Pet Airways requests information on the breed, height and weight of the pet when reservations are being made, so that an appropriately-sized carrier can be prepared. It also requires proof of the animal’s good health and vaccinations. At least one hour before the flight, pets must be taken to the check-in desk with their luggage – one small bag is allowed. And while owners may supply a towel or T-shirt with their scent to comfort their pet, the airline prohibits tranquillisers, as these may be dangerous to the animal’s health. Similarly, owners are advised not to feed pets for four hours before a flight, and only water is offered on board. During the journey, owners can track their animals’ location, which is regularly posted online. Pets may be picked up in the airline’s lounge 30 minutes after landing.
IV
The cost of a journey varies according to length and other variables, but a typical one-way ticket is $250, which compares favourably with the approximately $100 that other airlines take to fly animals in less comfortable conditions. This payment includes insurance, and pets may even join a travel scheme offering special discounts and free air miles.
V
Pet Airways has been well received not only by pets and their owners, but also by airline executives and vets, who mention the comfort and safety provided for the animals. Some also point out the reduction in travel-related stress – that of the pets and their owners!

Extreme Cellists I
Most string musicians are found in the orchestra at concert halls; not many cellists play while exploring cities or hiking through the countryside, but this is exactly what the Extreme Cellists do. This British trio claims to bring together extreme sport and performance art – usually cello music played outdoors – to raise money and awareness for various charities.
II
All the group members are classically-trained musicians. Clare Wallace teaches music and sings. James Rees also teaches, while Jeremy Dawson works as a statistician in addition to singing in a cathedral choir. Not surprisingly, their website also lists the soccer teams they support!
III
At their first appearance on Original Extreme Cello Day in 2003, the cellists climbed up a mountain to give their first performance, then down into a cave to deliver their second. Later, they arrived in the city of Sheffield and climbed up to the roof of a building for the third concert; they performed the fourth on a station platform, the fifth in a forest, and then played their last concert in a greenhouse in a city park. This is all even harder than it sounds because the musicians had to carry their cellos, each weighing about 13.5 kilograms, from venue to venue.
IV
Other appearances followed quickly, giving the group a chance to play various classical works, as well as modern pieces by the Beatles and other contemporary musicians. The more challenging of their outings included trekking over 300 kilometres coast to coast, climbing the four highest mountains in the United Kingdom and performing on the top of each to raise money for the Mountain Rescue charity. The group has also played at all 42 Anglican cathedrals in England, often on the roof, and on every street appearing on the London Monopoly board.
V
Who knows what these players will do next? Whatever it is, it will surely be a good way to raise money for worthy causes, pleasing listeners at the same time.

Reading Read the text and answer the questions that follow. Turn the Music Down! I
According to a recent study, the number of teenagers with hearing loss has jumped 33 per cent since 1994. Many researchers claim that this widespread hearing loss amongst teenagers has been caused by their constant exposure to music played through headphones. Whereas in the past, teenagers used to listen to music at high volumes from stereo systems, today’s teenagers generally listen to music from their iPods and MP3 players via headphones. Although this means that they no longer disturb the people around them with their music, it also means that the high volumes are being directed straight into their ears.
II
In theory, people who listen to music through headphones can enjoy their music in peace and don’t have to hear any other outside noise at the same time. Yet in practice, headphones don’t always work so well and listeners often find that they can still hear some of the noise they wanted to cancel out. As a result, they tend to gradually increase the volume in an attempt to get rid of the unwanted background noise. This is what causes permanent damage to their hearing.
III
Experts advise that anyone who wants to protect their hearing should begin by simply turning down the volume. In addition, they recommend buying some good-quality headphones. These headphones produce a c lear sound which makes it less necessary for listeners to increase the volume in order to remove interference from the outside world.
IV
Yet hearing loss may not be the most serious consequence of headphone use. Some people claim that many more road accidents are caused as a result of cyclists or pedestrians listening to music through headphones. They argue that an awareness of your surroundings is extremely important in terms of road safety and that headphone use dramatically reduces this awareness. It is true that thanks to headphones, people can listen to music any time and everywhere. Yet headphone use may ultimately result not only in impaired hearing, but also in an increased number of road accidents. Perhaps the price is too high to pay.

Cyber Seniors I
In the past, many older people did not use computers. Yet in recent years, an increasing number of older people in the United States have begun to use computer technology. In fact, seniors are one of the fastest-growing groups of Internet users in that country. Many of these seniors are taking computer classes that are provided by community centres around the USA.
II
Some seniors are interested in learning about computers because they want to use e-mail to keep in touch with their loved ones who live far away. Others wish to learn how to shop online so that they can stay independent for longer.
III
Yet mastering computer skills at a later stage of life is not always simple. Many seniors are afraid of computers and think they are too old to learn. In addition, as people age they often lose some of their ability to solve problems and to process new information. This makes it much more difficult for them to learn new things. Finally, many seniors have physical problems which make computer use more challenging.
IV
Teachers of elderly students must be specially trained. They must be made aware of seniors’ physical problems and taught to sympathise with them. Many training programmes include “sensitivity training”, where students practise using computers wearing dirty sunglasses, with cotton balls in their ears and with two of their fingers taped together. Interestingly, many of the participants in these training programmes are teenagers. These teens claim that they benefit tremendously from the experience. They say that they get a lot of satisfaction from the real improvements they make in the older people’s lives.
V
And the teens are not the only ones who benefit. It appears that teenagers are particularly good at teaching computer skills to the elderly and find it easy to motivate their senior students. This may be because teens are very comfortable with computer technology and enjoy using it. It may also simply be because teens and old people get along well. Whatever the reason, it would seem that if we wish to help the older generation master technology, it’s a good idea to get teenagers to do the job.

1. Seniors may have difficulty mastering computer technology because they ... . a.
do not believe they are capable of learning
b.
don’t enjoy using it
c.

d.
