The Worry Tree: A Useful and Warm-Hearted Story

 

Paresh, an Indian carpenter I once hired to help me restore my old farmhouse had just finished a difficult and hard first day on the job. A flat tyre on his lorry made him lose an hour of work, his electric saw packed in, and now his ancient pickup truck refused to start. While I drove him home, Paresh sat in stony, thoughtful silence. 
On arriving, Paresh, in the way of all Indian gentlefolk, invited me in to meet his family. As we walked toward the front door, he paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands.

When opening the door to his home, he underwent an amazing transformation. His tanned face wreathed in smiles and he hugged his two small children and gave his wife a kiss.

After a cup of tea, he walked me to my car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked him about what I had seen him do earlier. 

'Oh, that's my trouble tree,' Paresh replied. 'I know I can't help having troubles on the job, but one thing for sure, troubles don't belong in the house with my wife and the children. So I just hang them on the tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again. Funny thing is', he smiled winningly, 'when I come out in the morning to pick them up, there aren't nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before.'


ACTIVITY 2
Lee la siguiente información sobre el tema que vimos en la clase pasada. WHEN CLAUSES WITH SIMPLE PAST TENSE.

Cuando hablamos de dos acciones realizadas en tiempo pasado casi al mismo tiempo, utilizamos WHEN para determinar que acción paso primero. Por ejemplo:

When they discovered that the books were lost, they inmediately looked for them.

Primero descubrieron que los libros habian desaparecido, y como consecuencia se pusieron a buscarlos.

La estructura a seguir para este tipo de oraciones es la siguiente:


WHEN + PRIMERA ACCIÓN EN PASADO + , + SEGUNDA ACCIÓN EN PASADO. 



When I was in high school, I liked to play volleyball.


Otra forma de expresar este tipo de situaciones es:


SEGUNDA ACCIÓN EN PASADO + WHEN + PRIMERA ACCIÓN EN PASADO.


I liked to play volleyball when I was in high school.


NOTA: En éste ejemplo el uso de la COMA (,) fue omitida.


ACTIVITY 3
De la página 9 del STUDENT BOOK realiza el ejercicio número 3 del WORD POWER. Forma FRASES VERBALES con el vocabulario que allí aparece y después escribe oraciones utilizando con WHEN + SIMPLE PAST + , + SIMPLE PAST ó SIMPLE PAST + WHEN + SIMPLE PAST.


Por ejemplo: 
When I went to México, I bought many souvenirs.
I bought many souvenirs when I went to México.



Esta tarea la entregarán el próximo sábado.
