Rainbows

Is there a pot of gold hidden at the end of the rainbow? If you believe the old Irish stories about how leprechauns hide their gold at the end of the rainbow, you might be tempted to try to find the end. No one has ever found the end of a rainbow!
The ancient Greeks believed that a rainbow was a path between Heaven and Earth. Rainbows were made by Iris who was a messenger of the gods. In Norse mythology, the rainbow was also a link between the homes of gods and humans.
In myths and stories from many cultures, the rainbow is an actual bow belonging to a god. For example, in Hindu myths the rainbow is Indra’s bow. Indra is the god of thunder, lightning & rain.
In Amazonian cultures of South America, rainbows were made by evil spirits who wanted to harm people. They would try to make people sick. Remember to keep your mouth closed when looking at a rainbow to stop the evil spirits!
Today we know that when rays of light from the sun pass through drops of water rainbows are made. The rays of sunlight are bent in just the right way to produce to different colours. The colours of the rainbow are red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet (purple).

Rain and Hail

Dark clouds were in the sky. The sun went down. The weather got cold. The wind started to blow. Leaves blew off the trees. Paper flew through the air. People buttoned their jackets. The rain started to fall. At first it was quiet. Then it got louder. It was a storm. The rain was very loud. The man couldn't hear his TV. He turned up the volume. Now he could hear his TV. He looked outside his door. He looked at the rain. It was pouring off his roof. It was a flood. Then he saw lightning. Then he heard thunder. It was a very cold night. The rain changed to hail. The hail was very noisy. He turned up the TV volume again. Now he could hear his TV again. He watched TV for a while. Then he looked outside again. All the cars were white. The street was white. The ground was white. The hail covered everything. The hail looked just like snow. He wanted to make a big snowman. But you can't make a snowman out of hail.

1.- READING. Here is the text you are supposed to read.

If I Could, I Would (2nd conditional)

Sometimes it is fun to think about things that we know will probably never be true. We can ask ourselves questions that don’t really have answers. If you won a million dollars in the lottery, what would you do? It would be nice to win the lottery but the chances of that happening are very small. If I won a million dollars, I would travel but I would also give some money to charity. And you? What would you do?
If you had a time machine to travel with, would you visit the past or would you visit the future?
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live? Would you like to live in more than one place if you had the chance? It would be interesting to experience different cultures for awhile but it would be difficult to decide which cultures because there is so much diversity in the world. If I could live anywhere I wanted, I might have trouble deciding!
What abilities would you have if you had superhuman powers? Would you want to be very strong? If I had super powers, I would like to be able to fly. Would you like to be able to fly too?
If you could talk to animals, what would you say? If you were an astronaut, where would you like to go? If you had one wish, what would it be? If you could ask me a question, what would you ask?

Vocabulary help:

• abilities (noun) plural of ability – If you have the ability to do something, then you are able to do it.
• astonaut (noun) – someone who travels in space
• awhile (adverb) – for a short time
• charity (noun) – organization that gives money, food or help to people in need
• diversity (noun) – many different types of people or cultures,
• time machine (noun) - an imaginary machine that lets you travel back in time, or into the future

2.- INFORMATION

El Condicional en Inglés

En el condicional imaginamos que pasaría bajo ciertas condiciones imaginarias.

If I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world.
Si tuviera yo mucho dinero, viajaría por todo el mundo.

(No tengo mucho dinero pero estoy imaginando que haría si tuviera mucho.)

En oraciones condicionales, ponemos el verbo en el pasado en la parte de la oración que empieza con la palabra if (aunque no refiere al pasado). Si el verbo es negativo, usamos el verbo auxiliar didn't igual como con verbos en el pasado. En la segunda parte de la oración (la parte sin la palabra if) usamos el verbo auxiliar would. Si la oración es negativa, usamos would not o la contracción wouldn't.

If I had a lot of money, I would travel around the world.
If I had a lot of money, I wouldn't work.

Podemos poner la parte de la oración que empieza con if primero o segundo, pero si lo ponemos primero, tenemos que poner una coma después de esa parte de la oración.

If I had a lot of money, I wouldn't work.
I wouldn't work if I had a lot of money.

 

NOTA #1:
El verbo to be es un poco diferente en oraciones condicionales. Esto es un aspecto de gramática que está cambiando. Antes en los libros de gramática decían que se tenía que decir . . .

If I were rich, I would travel around the world.

En oraciones condicionales como ésta, el verbo to be siempre tenía que ser were, aun en la primera y tercera persona singular (I, he, she, it). Antes se consideraba mala gramática decir was en este tipo de oración. Esto está cambiando y ahora hasta en libros de gramática ponen las dos alternativas (was y were).

If I was rich, I would travel around the world.
If I were rich, I would travel around the world.

NOTA #2:
No olvides que could es el pasado del verbo auxiliar can. Usamos could en lugar de can para indicar una situación imaginaria.

If I could fly like a bird, I would sell my car.
Si pudiera volar como un pájaro, vendería mi carro.

También podemos usar could en lugar de would en oraciones condicionales para significar podría.

If I had wings, I could fly like a bird.
Si tuviera alas, podría volar como un pájaro.
