BEWARE OF PLANTS

Bueno, no es para tanto, no hay ninguna planta carnívora que nos pueda atacar. Otra cosa son la gran cantidad de sustancias que producen y que pueden provocar diferentes efectos, como, por ejemplo, confusión.

¿Y a que viene esto? Pues hace unos días os recomendé una pagina bilingüe sobre plantas, pero a veces, el vocabulario que utiliza me atrevo a decir que no es correcto, por ejemplo, los nudos del tallo los traduce como nudos de cuerda (knots)o los nervios de las hojas como nervios (nerves). Es algo parecido a los falsos amigos, false friends, una acepción en castellano de una palabra no tiene exactamente su traducción literal en la acepción inglesa, por ejemplo a los nervios de las hojas, en inglés se les denomina veins (venas).

Para intentar solucionar esta posible confusión ahí tenéis una laminas con el vocabulario usual, a veces incluye demasiados, más de los que hemos visto en clase, pero no era sencillo modificar las laminas.

Si os interesa estos diccionarios visuales aquí tenéis sus enlaces, este tiene su versión en español
podéis cambiar de idioma sobre la marcha, y este otro tiene la posibilidad de escuchar el sonido de las palabras y es la versión online del diccionario que tenemos en la biblioteca

PLANTS EVERYWHERE

Well yes, there are plants everywhere and many flowers too (although not as big as that of picture, a rafflesia, the biggest flower in the world, but it stinks of rotting flesh!) And that, as you must know, is not the same: there are plants without flowers, such as mosses and ferns, and on the other hand, the flowers are a part, not the whole plant, only the reproductive organs of gymnosperms and angiosperms.

Happy Easter and happy spring for all!

INVERTEBRATES AS PETS?

A spider, a scorpion or a stick insect are often seen in pet shop or even at home of a classmate. Sometimes with questionable taste and little information because they can be dangerous.
If you click HERE you will enter in an interestig page about INVERTEBRATES
This page will help you to perform the task which I indicated in class:
You must to write for each invertebrate group 3 sentences in English about their characteristics. These may be ... "Sponges have ..." or "Sponges are ..." or "Sponges can ..." or " Sponges live..." or "Most have ..." or "Some ... have ... but others ....."

Vertebrate pets

A dog, a cat, a budgie, a goldfish, even a rat!, if you have a pet it will surely be a vertebrate, es decir que si tienes una mascota seguramente sea un vertebrado.

Aquí tenéis una simpática página de la bbc sobre mascotas y como veréis, sobre mucho más.

La actividad que tenéis que hacer es sencilla:Choose two pets of 2 classes of diferents vertebrates, click on the interactive guide and make a short essay about what most caught your attention. In English of course.

Si no os interesan las mascotas puedes pinchar sobre "amazing animals" o "extreme... " o donde prefiráis.

IT IS TURKEY TIME

We approach the Thanksgiving Day, and the American turkey (los pavos) are, as we say here, so pissed off like ours at Christmas. As you have seen in many American films, they are the protagonists of the table.
But, do they come from Spain and brought to America by the conquistadors, or on the contrary come from that continent to Spain? Is it coincidence that Turkey, country, in English, it is the same word that turkey, bird?.
This and more, like its scientific name and way of life, you can find in the links I provide you. Later, tell me the answer in class.

to be pissed off: cabrearse, mosquearse

to approach: acercarse, aproximarse

brought past participle of to bring: Traer
