on the on the on those two questions that we that we had 140 00:17:27,970 --> 00:17:33,210 okay your opinions and then i suppose that if we all speak at the same time it's going to be 141 00:17:33,210 --> 00:17:39,529 confusing so i'm gonna be kind of asking you by name okay so uh maite what about the first 142 00:17:39,529 --> 00:17:47,490 question will you think about your energy consumption so compared to other um countries 143 00:17:47,490 --> 00:17:55,250 i think spain will be above the average right but if we talk about the personal consumption i think 144 00:17:55,250 --> 00:18:04,569 in my case i am doing a responsible use of the energy as i am environmentally concerned right 145 00:18:04,569 --> 00:18:12,309 so apart from the use of car which is not a good option when we have all other alternatives 146 00:18:12,309 --> 00:18:22,009 um i'm doing a good consumption of the energy oh so you do use a car yeah okay and you feel bad 147 00:18:22,009 --> 00:18:32,150 about it yeah okay careful with where it's like uh alternative okay because uh it's like a long 148 00:18:32,150 --> 00:18:40,210 oh okay alternative okay more than old more than old alternative for alternative okay alternative 149 00:18:40,210 --> 00:18:46,410 it's like i know right nice terrific uh yeah probably we are above average you know compared 150 00:18:46,410 --> 00:18:54,549 to the whole world certainly we are uh so uh beautiful Beatriz what about you how would you 151 00:18:54,549 --> 00:19:02,490 define your energy consumption what little tricks do you follow to reduce your consumption 152 00:19:02,490 --> 00:19:08,670 the problem is not myself it's my my kids this is the main problem 153 00:19:08,670 --> 00:19:18,569 for example the in the domestic use of the washing machine i don't know how many 154 00:19:18,569 --> 00:19:24,890 i don't know if you call how many what how many loads how many washes how many washes yes okay 155 00:19:24,890 --> 00:19:33,329 so i try to to use two maximum a day but sometimes it's more than that because all my family members 156 00:19:33,329 --> 00:19:40,509 practice a lot of the sports and it's almost impossible to control that and then i as maite 157 00:19:40,509 --> 00:19:48,170 said i am also very conscious about the responsible use of the energy so i want to switch off the 158 00:19:48,170 --> 00:19:57,069 lights and you know well i have i own a car and i have to confess so i have to admit that i use a 159 00:19:57,069 --> 00:20:05,890 car too much because i live outside madrid in arabica so sometimes i am not very responsible 160 00:20:05,890 --> 00:20:13,700 in the use of car in the use of public transport yeah yeah yeah yeah so again you use your car 161 00:20:13,700 --> 00:20:20,359 more more frequently than you think it would be uh recommendable so yes yes yes and uh ricardo 162 00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:26,940 because i asked i asked uh uh beatriz about this but she didn't answer are there any tricks 163 00:20:26,940 --> 00:20:34,279 any specific tricks that you follow to uh to try to reduce your your consumption like i don't know 164 00:20:34,279 --> 00:20:39,920 what is it like making sure that you turn off the lights or is there any other specifics that you 165 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:50,460 watch out for well in my case i don't drive so i use public transportation and i try to 166 00:20:50,460 --> 00:20:52,960 go 167 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:54,740 to the job 168 00:20:54,740 --> 00:20:56,740 every day if it's possible 169 00:20:56,740 --> 00:20:59,059 walking 170 00:20:59,059 --> 00:20:59,859 by foot 171 00:20:59,859 --> 00:21:03,240 so you try to walk to your 172 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:03,720 work 173 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:06,619 I try to walk to my 174 00:21:06,619 --> 00:21:07,720 work 175 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:10,980 and I think 176 00:21:10,980 --> 00:21:12,799 this is a good idea to save 177 00:21:12,799 --> 00:21:13,900 energy because 178 00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:17,099 this allows 179 00:21:17,099 --> 00:21:18,319 me to be 180 00:21:18,319 --> 00:21:25,019 in, I don't know how to say them. 181 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,740 Because I don't go to the gym. 182 00:21:32,740 --> 00:21:36,900 So, but if I walk every day, this is good for me 183 00:21:36,900 --> 00:21:41,380 because I can do some exercise 184 00:21:41,380 --> 00:21:45,859 and using the public transportation is the same. 185 00:21:45,859 --> 00:21:49,319 And concerning the electricity at home, 186 00:21:49,319 --> 00:22:01,720 well i try to to save uh electricity but the the the most expensive i i spent a lot of energy 187 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:12,279 concerning the heater because my home my place is uh is very cold and in winter i spent a lot of 188 00:22:12,279 --> 00:22:21,220 energy uh to be warm this is this is a problem and on the other hand i spent also uh a lot of 189 00:22:21,220 --> 00:22:27,880 energy when i travel because i travel two or three times per year uh a long distance by plane 190 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:35,799 and i think this is the the the most consumption of energy that uh traveling by plane that's your 191 00:22:35,799 --> 00:22:40,200 that's the highest consumption right yeah the highest highest consumption the highest energy 192 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:46,460 consumption all right well it seems at least you are aware and you are like uh aware of your 193 00:22:46,460 --> 00:22:51,559 consumption now you need to find ways to offset your carbon print right that's the kind of thing 194 00:22:51,559 --> 00:22:58,319 that we would say ways to balance to compensate to offset your carbon print i don't know if uh 195 00:22:58,319 --> 00:23:04,200 mariano or yone are you are there any specific things that you do to compensate your carbon 196 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:14,289 print or are we not that environmentally friendly yet okay in my case i i'm trying to work on food 197 00:23:15,650 --> 00:23:23,730 uh to to my place so i discarded my car just a year um yeah for me it's healthier to do that 198 00:23:23,730 --> 00:23:30,769 so i'm happy doing that it's more environmentally and environmentally friendly friendly and it's 199 00:23:30,769 --> 00:23:34,450 It's better for me to do some activity in the morning. 200 00:23:34,750 --> 00:23:37,329 So it's a pleasant way to do it. 201 00:23:37,650 --> 00:23:41,710 And actually, I'm living not far away from where I'm working, 202 00:23:41,910 --> 00:23:46,109 so I can afford working 20 minutes every day. 203 00:23:46,609 --> 00:23:48,430 But you live there permanently, right? 204 00:23:48,549 --> 00:23:50,289 So be careful with the use of tenses 205 00:23:50,289 --> 00:23:52,849 because if you wouldn't use the present continuous, 206 00:23:53,109 --> 00:23:56,170 you would say, I live in the present. 207 00:23:56,170 --> 00:23:58,210 I live quite close to where I work, 208 00:23:58,210 --> 00:24:05,589 yeah so i i don't mind walking there for example okay oh and we lost we lost your name she just 209 00:24:05,589 --> 00:24:12,809 she just got disconnected or something when you're here i'm here oh you are oh sorry oh i think it's 210 00:24:12,809 --> 00:24:18,210 because now it's like more of us here and i could not see all the names or something like that 211 00:24:18,210 --> 00:24:27,069 all right all right all right yes yes i had to enlarge my uh screen to see you all that's why 212 00:24:27,069 --> 00:24:33,789 how interesting okay so janae well then your turn come on well for instance i live 213 00:24:34,750 --> 00:24:46,109 four minutes from my job so i always walk to my work and what else i do well i use the bike 214 00:24:46,109 --> 00:24:54,950 very healthy yes uh i actually i i almost don't use the car at all 215 00:24:54,950 --> 00:25:01,970 you don't see very uh none of you mentioned like your priority was always i mean you were saying 216 00:25:01,970 --> 00:25:07,130 that yes you still use the car uh and that's probably the thing that you are pointing out 217 00:25:07,130 --> 00:25:13,509 as the thing that you like the less right that you would prefer not to but none of you mentioned 218 00:25:13,509 --> 00:25:16,349 the possibility of 219 00:25:16,349 --> 00:25:18,230 getting like an electric car or something 220 00:25:18,230 --> 00:25:20,069 like that?

So maybe, you know, like consumption of different equipments or different kinds of equipment have changed with time. 350 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:45,139 all right so let's go ahead and we're going to try the listening exercise i'm going to try the 351 00:34:45,139 --> 00:34:49,719 listening exercise this was not working before when i was just with my tea in the room but uh 352 00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:55,880 it's pretty working now okay so let's go ahead and try uh which is exercise number three here 353 00:34:55,880 --> 00:35:02,539 let's have a look at the questions now listen to an energy expert speaking about the statistics 354 00:35:02,539 --> 00:35:07,119 and the different reasons for the level of energy consumption 355 00:35:07,119 --> 00:35:10,440 in the USA, transport being a big issue, 356 00:35:11,539 --> 00:35:14,039 and people not doing more to save energy in their homes. 357 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:15,480 All right, let's go ahead and listen. 358 00:35:20,269 --> 00:35:22,610 I will play it and then stop it. 359 00:35:23,170 --> 00:35:25,269 Then I'll ask you if you could actually listen. 360 00:35:25,590 --> 00:35:27,150 And if you could, we'll play it again, okay?

379 00:36:29,820 --> 00:36:30,980 But we can see you now. 380 00:36:31,619 --> 00:36:33,280 All right, let's go ahead and focus on the questions. 381 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,179 This is fun. 382 00:36:37,099 --> 00:36:39,179 Track 18, Grammar. 383 00:36:39,900 --> 00:36:44,219 The disparity in energy use between different countries is linked, of course, 384 00:36:44,219 --> 00:36:46,460 to their level of economic development, 385 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:48,860 but that's not the only factor. 386 00:36:49,559 --> 00:36:53,420 Both Germany and the USA are highly industrialized nations, 387 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,559 but in the United States, 388 00:36:55,559 --> 00:36:59,619 much more energy is being consumed by each person. 389 00:37:00,579 --> 00:37:03,519 In part, that's because it's a bigger country, 390 00:37:03,659 --> 00:37:04,920 so people travel more, 391 00:37:05,159 --> 00:37:07,099 but it's also down to attitudes. 392 00:37:08,500 --> 00:37:11,840 American energy consumption could easily be reduced 393 00:37:11,840 --> 00:37:15,019 if greater priority was given to energy efficiency. 394 00:37:16,019 --> 00:37:19,980 Actually, I'm confident that efforts will be made in this direction, 395 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,360 particularly by industry. 396 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:26,920 Cleaner fuels, cleaner industrial processes, and so on, 397 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,400 because the evidence for climate change is now so strong. 398 00:37:31,460 --> 00:37:35,360 The big question is, will developing countries do the same? 399 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,840 Transport's a big issue. 400 00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:39,679 Air travel in particular. 401 00:37:39,679 --> 00:37:43,739 People in developing countries have been restricted by the cost up to now, 402 00:37:44,099 --> 00:37:50,980 but as they get richer and air travel becomes cheaper, its impact on energy consumption is bound to grow. 403 00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:58,659 The statistics for energy use in the home show that the main area which needs to be addressed is heating and cooling. 404 00:37:59,599 --> 00:38:02,320 The solution is relatively cheap and simple. 405 00:38:02,780 --> 00:38:05,800 It just means homes being insulated properly. 406 00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:13,260 People complain about their energy bills, but it's pretty clear to me at any rate that energy is still too cheap. 407 00:38:13,900 --> 00:38:21,579 Otherwise, people would do something about reducing them, instead of leaving lights on at home and driving gas-guzzling cars. 408 00:38:38,969 --> 00:38:46,250 Okay, so guys I'm gonna again break you into smaller groups so that you can discuss these questions over here 409 00:38:46,250 --> 00:38:51,909 Okay, the three questions that we have here about the energy of consumption in the US 410 00:38:52,489 --> 00:38:56,369 About transport being a big issue in the future and people not doing enough 411 00:38:56,369 --> 00:39:02,650 Okay, so I'm gonna break you into two groups and do that and then we'll come back together 412 00:39:03,210 --> 00:39:04,849 in a minute 413 00:39:04,849 --> 00:39:06,849 Let's see 414 00:39:08,969 --> 00:39:23,530 There we go. So you will have a message over here now asking you to join a smaller group. 415 00:39:24,150 --> 00:39:28,909 Go ahead and join. That's it. And then I'll give you a couple of minutes. 416 00:39:29,710 --> 00:39:36,849 Yay. Terrific. Terrific. Go for it. That's it. 417 00:39:38,349 --> 00:39:43,050 OK, so I'm going to go drink some water. I know you cannot listen to me, but still being recorded. 418 00:39:43,050 --> 00:44:20,510 it so that's why oh somebody was surprised to be taken back to the main 419 00:44:20,510 --> 00:44:29,710 room or what okay all right okay that's it I think we are all back here yes we 420 00:44:29,710 --> 00:44:34,909 are all right so uh yeah let's go ahead and 421 00:44:34,909 --> 00:44:41,989 let me see something over here okay all right so I was saying it's uh let's go 422 00:44:41,989 --> 00:44:49,550 ahead what's your what's your opinion about the first the first question over 423 00:44:49,550 --> 00:44:56,090 here okay yeah what are the reasons he gives for this Diana go ahead just came 424 00:44:56,090 --> 00:45:00,230 in but you could hear that to the listen you can listen to the exercise right now 425 00:45:00,230 --> 00:45:05,929 but you've been discussing about it okay oh but you don't have a microphone is 426 00:45:05,929 --> 00:45:11,670 deal all right so we'll we'll just let you like listening okay and for next day 427 00:45:11,670 --> 00:45:21,250 we'll try to she's cracking her ass okay good so we'll we'll just have you as a listener so let's 428 00:45:21,250 --> 00:45:26,630 see uh your name what about the first question what are the reasons that she gives about why 429 00:45:26,630 --> 00:45:33,949 the level of energy consumption in the u.s is so high it it says because it's a bigger country 430 00:45:33,949 --> 00:45:45,170 and people travels more and also because the attitudes are not proper okay so 431 00:45:45,170 --> 00:45:51,570 they are not very typically speaking they are not so yeah so aware or so 432 00:45:51,570 --> 00:45:56,630 properly as to energy consumption and so on right yeah I think that makes sense 433 00:45:56,630 --> 00:46:01,309 do you find that to be reasonable you think that is that does this fit with 434 00:46:01,309 --> 00:46:17,269 your preconception yes well not not for everybody but for the most yeah also not 435 00:46:17,269 --> 00:46:21,869 just a preconception but some things are like facts it's a big country right yeah 436 00:46:21,869 --> 00:46:27,170 that's real yeah and also it's very interconnected like people from New York 437 00:46:27,170 --> 00:46:34,349 York maybe wanting to you know like travel quite frequently it's not the same thing as for example 438 00:46:34,349 --> 00:46:40,869 uh people from Finland traveling to Spain well that happens but it's not the interconnection 439 00:46:40,869 --> 00:46:48,309 is not as big as New York LA for example right so I think that makes sense so second question 440 00:46:48,309 --> 00:46:53,690 we've got here is transport why would that be a big issue in the future Paloma did you get that 441 00:46:53,690 --> 00:46:55,690 No, sorry, I was late. 442 00:46:55,690 --> 00:46:58,690 You could not leave, you were not in, right, when we were doing that? 443 00:46:58,690 --> 00:47:02,690 So let's go back to the beginning. Beatriz, what about that? 444 00:47:02,690 --> 00:47:07,690 What about the second question? Why is transport going to be so important? 445 00:47:07,690 --> 00:47:12,690 Well, in developing countries the air travel becomes cheaper 446 00:47:12,690 --> 00:47:18,690 and people usually are fond of travelling by plane. 447 00:47:18,690 --> 00:47:25,730 and this is one of the reasons they mention that's it that's i think that's the main reason 448 00:47:25,730 --> 00:47:31,969 to mention uh now if we can think about this for a second we were talking about cars before right 449 00:47:31,969 --> 00:47:37,429 and not using the car so much and so on and you could find alternatives like you could like 450 00:47:37,429 --> 00:47:44,630 walk to work sometimes or use your your motorbikes or whatever but what about air travel is there an 451 00:47:44,630 --> 00:47:55,519 alternative to air travel will you thank anyone guys is there a reasonable alternative to air 452 00:47:55,519 --> 00:48:03,039 travel but but what do you mean i don't understand the question i don't uh what i mean is that like 453 00:48:03,039 --> 00:48:09,119 for example or we were just discussing a few minutes ago that uh we actually have alternatives 454 00:48:09,119 --> 00:48:17,059 to traveling by car because most of the times it's like short range uh trips like commuting to work 455 00:48:17,059 --> 00:48:23,059 or going to here and there and we have for example public transport alternatives so you can take the 456 00:48:23,059 --> 00:48:30,019 underground or you can take an electric motorbike like caesar and so on right so there are alternatives 457 00:48:30,019 --> 00:48:34,980 but what about air travel are there so many alternatives to travel or if you need to go to 458 00:48:34,980 --> 00:48:42,980 new york i mean anything else yeah in spain to go to barcelona you can decide by plane or by train 459 00:48:42,980 --> 00:48:46,699 in near distances 460 00:48:46,699 --> 00:48:47,920 but 461 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:49,920 I don't know if 462 00:48:49,920 --> 00:48:52,239 maybe helicopter or maybe 463 00:48:52,239 --> 00:48:53,800 in future drones 464 00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:55,820 for shorter distances 465 00:48:55,820 --> 00:48:58,340 but for longer distances 466 00:48:58,340 --> 00:49:01,000 I don't know 467 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:01,760 I was thinking 468 00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:02,980 certainly seems not 469 00:49:02,980 --> 00:49:05,619 possible, feasible in a way 470 00:49:05,619 --> 00:49:07,639 you know this Swedish teenager 471 00:49:07,639 --> 00:49:09,960 Thunberg, you know trying to 472 00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:11,679 sail from New York to 473 00:49:11,679 --> 00:49:19,920 portugal i don't think this could i don't satisfy the demands of people in general so i let you 474 00:49:19,920 --> 00:49:28,400 want to stay here did she finally get to use a donkey to come from from the south or was that 475 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:35,679 like a whatsapp kind of joke that just went around that she was going to use a donkey to go from 476 00:49:35,679 --> 00:49:42,579 andalucia over to madrid to come over here was that fake i never i never i just saw that like 477 00:49:42,579 --> 00:49:48,219 very quickly i don't think that was really real probably they were pondering about that i think 478 00:49:48,219 --> 00:49:54,400 in the end she went from extremadura on an electric car or something like that and finally 479 00:49:54,400 --> 00:50:02,440 she managed to get to madrid okay but it's a bit easier okay i see uh i was thinking while you were 480 00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:09,179 thinking that maybe the since there is not like a clear alternative to air travel maybe we have to 481 00:50:09,179 --> 00:50:16,480 look into ways of traveling less of having less and lesser need to travel like what we are doing 482 00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:25,480 today okay like Beatriz is not driving to town today because she's uh like uh just connected 483 00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:31,480 and so on so uh I guess that as we develop technologies that bring us together we will 484 00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:38,260 need to travel less as well not maybe an important factor okay and then the last question we have is 485 00:50:38,260 --> 00:50:44,139 people not doing more to save their energy at home at home so why would that be make there 486 00:50:44,139 --> 00:50:53,099 what are some reasons for this so as per the audio uh it says like the energy is too 487 00:50:53,099 --> 00:51:01,860 cheap and simple so we don't care about reducing our energy bills would you 488 00:51:01,860 --> 00:51:12,309 agree with that no no not at all it's not so cheaper here in Spain right there 489 00:51:12,309 --> 00:51:20,989 are some other countries that they have a relatively cheaper energy and yeah it's 490 00:51:20,989 --> 00:51:30,590 it's um yeah for sure energy could be easily used and uh it's not um it doesn't make us to make a 491 00:51:30,590 --> 00:51:39,090 major um effort right to use or to consume that but yeah we have no other alternative right 492 00:51:39,090 --> 00:51:43,809 as for now okay we don't have an alternative probably i guess not 493 00:51:43,809 --> 00:51:49,670 they were saying this this got this girl she was talking about the u.s right she was supposed to 494 00:51:49,670 --> 00:51:57,269 talking mainly about the u.s right and i remember when i first uh rented my own place over there 495 00:51:57,269 --> 00:52:02,710 because when i lived in in la i lived in university so i didn't i was not concerned 496 00:52:02,710 --> 00:52:08,650 with electricity bills or utilities bills and so on but when i first rented my own place that was 497 00:52:08,650 --> 00:52:16,610 in in dallas in texas and i remember my first electricity bill over there for one month you 498 00:52:16,610 --> 00:52:22,849 know how much it was and this was like 10 years ago or like yeah like 12 years ago 499 00:52:22,849 --> 00:52:32,690 you can't imagine 400 400 and that's because of of air conditioning that was it it was the 500 00:52:32,690 --> 00:52:42,949 air conditioning unit okay i experienced it too i live in in pandal it's a mojave desert 501 00:52:42,949 --> 00:52:51,170 you can't imagine how heat is over there and yes the bill was so expensive completely so that's why 502 00:52:51,170 --> 00:52:56,309 i'm saying that i don't quite agree with this that she's saying about the bill not being high enough 503 00:52:56,309 --> 00:53:03,869 to not being expensive expensive enough to to to deter people from from uh you know from consuming 504 00:53:03,869 --> 00:53:11,489 energy okay like 400 a month for air conditioning it's you know i mean it's air conditioning right 505 00:53:11,489 --> 00:53:16,929 but still it's like a basic need if you are like in the mojave close to the mojave or if you are 506 00:53:16,929 --> 00:53:24,889 in texas with 120 uh fahrenheit or something like that so it's not it was not like flexible 507 00:53:24,889 --> 00:53:30,690 all right guys let's have a quick look into the into the language jose luis uh sorry but leaving 508 00:53:30,690 --> 00:53:36,449 us i have to i'm very sorry because i didn't know about this meeting and i have to go don't you 509 00:53:36,449

because she's actually 514 00:54:12,730 --> 00:54:20,469 been using zoom for work for quite some time already okay so sorry sorry about this but 515 00:54:20,469 --> 00:54:28,630 sorry okay don't you worry i mean i am bye bye bye bye bye i'm very glad though that we had the 516 00:54:28,630 --> 00:54:34,929 because i know it was everything was like uh a very very last minute right like i sent you an 517 00:54:34,929 --> 00:54:40,090 made like uh 20 past six or something like that but we were not sure that this could be working 518 00:54:40,090 --> 00:54:48,289 so we have to activate the licenses and get all this going and and as you can imagine these last 519 00:54:48,289 --> 00:54:54,730 two days at the school they've been a little bit crazy you know because we we have some uh 520 00:54:54,730 --> 00:55:00,869 i'm trying to interpret uh the meaning of uh of this diana is making i don't know what it means 521 00:55:00,869 --> 00:55:07,090 like going crazy going crazy or something like that you know there is a chat so you can't write 522 00:55:07,090 --> 00:55:13,250 something over there if you want all right maybe that probably means like i have fingers and i can 523 00:55:13,250 --> 00:55:20,730 type but yeah uh or maybe that means that she's typing and i am not checking the chat 524 00:55:20,730 --> 00:55:29,489 that's it okay uh i don't know if i can actually can you guys oh here it is i can see oh there it 525 00:55:29,489 --> 00:55:35,750 is okay all right like she was doing that yes yes it was i'm not used to controlling this 526 00:55:35,750 --> 00:55:39,150 i can hear everyone but kind of find the reason why my microphone is not working 527 00:55:39,150 --> 00:55:45,449 i don't know how to help privacy oh you were all reading the chat it was only me who was not 528 00:55:45,449 --> 00:55:51,909 reading the chat now i feel stupid okay well you you'll figure out it's been crazy all over 529 00:55:51,909 --> 00:55:58,570 yes definitely so it's been it's been crazy like uh particularly i've been trying to organize the 530 00:55:58,570 --> 00:56:05,309 the job of 120 something teachers and see how they could all do some kind of online activity 531 00:56:05,309 --> 00:56:12,690 because as you may fear most teachers at the school are not quite ready to do this that we 532 00:56:12,690 --> 00:56:19,489 are doing now even if it's not that complex which i think is not that complex but sometimes you know 533 00:56:19,489 --> 00:56:26,909 like people don't have this tendency to use the technologies and so on so so it's been it's been 534 00:56:26,909 --> 00:56:34,230 it's been demanding it's been demanding to try to help them to do this i'm very happy though that 535 00:56:34,230 --> 00:56:39,570 there is like some 30 something of them who actually volunteer to uh to try to do the lessons 536 00:56:39,570 --> 00:56:45,530 with zoom like what we're doing now some of them are more reluctant but you know it's a ongoing 537 00:56:45,530 --> 00:56:52,809 process i guess so i talk too much sorry i talk too much let's go ahead and um and let's work on 538 00:56:52,809 --> 00:56:57,969 these sentences which is what we have on page four okay basically they're asking you to reflect 539 00:56:57,969 --> 00:57:02,570 on the grammar and see how the different passive tenses are being used okay let's have a couple 540 00:57:02,570 --> 00:57:08,949 minutes okay would you like to work in pairs so i break you into uh breakout rooms to work on 541 00:57:08,949 --> 00:57:16,730 this exercise oh well diana can't not but i can always well let's i'll just give you a couple 542 00:57:16,730 --> 01:00:12,139 minutes on your own okay and then we'll go ahead and discuss it so we check guys it's not too 543 01:00:12,139 --> 01:00:21,400 difficult is it so let's have a quick round um uh what about the first one um what about the 544 01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:28,219 first one ricardo could you read it to us and tell us what tense it is yes i can hear you uh 545 01:00:28,219 --> 01:00:36,179 the first one is uh it's in present simple that's it present simple passive okay yeah so 546 01:00:36,179 --> 01:00:40,619 different countries is the use between different countries is linked to the level of economic 547 01:00:40,619 --> 01:00:42,139 Okay, so present simple. 548 01:00:42,579 --> 01:00:43,739 What about the second one? 549 01:00:44,139 --> 01:00:47,659 Mariana cannot read, so we'll skip to you, okay? 550 01:00:47,940 --> 01:00:49,019 Anita, what about number two? 551 01:00:51,300 --> 01:00:53,239 It's present continuous. 552 01:00:53,659 --> 01:00:56,820 It's present continuous, passive present continuous, okay? 553 01:00:57,300 --> 01:00:58,599 Then number three, Mariana? 554 01:01:00,059 --> 01:01:01,579 Okay, it could be reduced. 555 01:01:02,219 --> 01:01:05,260 It's like a modal verb. 556 01:01:05,619 --> 01:01:06,119 That's it. 557 01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:07,019 An hypothesis. 558 01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:08,280 Okay. 559 01:01:09,619 --> 01:01:10,159 It's a modal. 560 01:01:10,159 --> 01:01:11,559 It's a modal, yes. 561 01:01:11,559 --> 01:01:14,420 and then the second part 562 01:01:14,420 --> 01:01:16,380 is greater priority was given 563 01:01:16,380 --> 01:01:17,280 was given 564 01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,579 it's in the past simple 565 01:01:19,579 --> 01:01:22,579 so just to make the hypothesis 566 01:01:22,579 --> 01:01:25,239 on the 567 01:01:25,239 --> 01:01:28,099 second case I think 568 01:01:28,099 --> 01:01:29,679 it's the past simple 569 01:01:29,679 --> 01:01:32,599 so the point 570 01:01:32,599 --> 01:01:34,659 here if you notice what we've seen so far 571 01:01:34,659 --> 01:01:36,360 is that you can have the passive in the simple 572 01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:38,519 present, in the present continuous, in the 573 01:01:38,519 --> 01:01:40,480 past simple, if we move on 574 01:01:40,480 --> 01:01:46,679 to the next one people in developing countries have been restricted which one is that your name 575 01:01:46,679 --> 01:01:55,210 which sense is that i escaped one i escaped number four i'm confident that effort will be made which 576 01:01:55,210 --> 01:02:01,369 is just the future with will right so it's the future simple passive and then number five 577 01:02:01,369 --> 01:02:09,429 are you there your name which sense is that yeah actually i don't know all right good so people in 578 01:02:09,429 --> 01:02:13,809 developing countries have been restricted is that a simple or a perfect 579 01:02:13,809 --> 01:02:22,210 tense that's a perfect tense so it's a present perfect passive okay because I 580 01:02:22,210 --> 01:02:28,929 have restricted I have restricted that would be the present perfect active okay 581 01:02:28,929 --> 01:02:36,750 but being restricted that is the present perfect passive okay okay and then the 582 01:02:36,750 --> 01:02:40,710 main area which needs to be addressed is heating and cooling. That's probably the 583 01:02:40,710 --> 01:02:46,070 most interesting because that's the one which you are maybe less used to. This is 584 01:02:46,070 --> 01:02:53,429 a what? It's a passive infinitive. That's it, okay? The main area which needs to be 585 01:02:53,429 --> 01:02:59,670 addressed is heating and cooling. The results are to be found in this book, 586 01:02:59,670 --> 01:03:05,170 the whatever, okay? So it's a passive infinitive. We are less used to 587 01:03:05,170 --> 01:03:09,309 distance but it's very useful okay and then the last one the solution is 588 01:03:09,309 --> 01:03:16,389 relatively cheap and simple it means homes being insulated properly that is 589 01:03:16,389 --> 01:03:22,030 just the present participle passive okay the present continuous passive so the 590 01:03:22,030 --> 01:03:26,469 point of this guys is just for you to reflect for a second on how we can have 591 01:03:26,469 --> 01:03:31,030 the passive tense passive voice sorry we can have the passive voice with all 592 01:03:31,030 --> 01:03:35,329 the different tenses that's about it okay now if you look for a moment to 593 01:03:35,329 --> 01:03:40,269 question to sentence number four number four number two number four number five 594 01:03:40,269 --> 01:03:45,769 okay in number two we have in the United States much more energy is being 595 01:03:45,769 --> 01:03:50,650 consumed by each person in number four we have they will be made in this 596 01:03:50,650 --> 01:03:55,969 direction particularly by the industry only number five we have people in 597 01:03:55,969 --> 01:04:01,309 developing countries have been restricted by the cost up to now so in 598 01:04:01,309 --> 01:04:08,150 those three cases we have the agent okay in the other cases we don't okay we 599 01:04:08,150 --> 01:04:13,010 don't say who insulated something for example in sentence number seven okay we 600 01:04:13,010 --> 01:04:17,849 don't do that okay so some of sometimes the passive as you know we say who is 601 01:04:17,849 --> 01:04:23,730 the agent who is the doer sometimes we don't and why don't we well we don't say 602 01:04:23,730 --> 01:04:33,710 who the agent is why is that what do you think because everyone infers that it's the people in 603 01:04:33,710 --> 01:04:41,070 general because it's obvious okay or if it's not obvious it's maybe unknown or not important okay 604 01:04:41,070 --> 01:04:48,389 so we just don't say that nice so let's go ahead um and have a quick look on this activity over 605 01:04:48,389 --> 01:04:54,250 here is number five what they're asking you to do is to rewrite these sentences in the passive 606 01:04:54,250 --> 01:05:03,590 okay so let's have a quick go let's have a minute and and work with them work on them 607 01:05:03,590 --> 01:05:09,809 actually i'm going to break you i'm going to break you i like breaking you into smaller groups 608 01:05:09,809 --> 01:05:14,030 diana don't worry you'll be in a group with people who can actually uh speak as well okay 609 01:05:14,030 --> 01:05:32,320 so you can go one by one and um and do that there we go not not groups of two there we go 610 01:05:32,320 --> 01:05:38,719 Did you go ahead and join this small this mode session? 611 01:05:39,519 --> 01:05:42,440 You'll have three people in each group 612 01:05:45,159 --> 01:05:47,159 Terrific terrific. Yes 613 01:05:48,659 --> 01:08:02,090 Bravo 614 01:09:20,100 --> 01:09:26,199 All right, so here we are all of us back here so guys 615 01:09:28,460 --> 01:09:33,699 These are some of the answers let's go over them one by one if you have alternatives or questions we can 616 01:09:34,199 --> 01:09:45,649 discuss that again. So electricity consumption is suspected to double by 2050. Fine. Simple 617 01:09:45,649 --> 01:09:53,890 passive. I mean percent positive. 25% of the world's electricity is generated by coal power 618 01:09:53,890 --> 01:10:01,750 plants. So this is like a general statement, okay. If CO2 emissions are to be reduced, alternatives 619 01:10:01,750 --> 01:10:08,989 to fossil fuels need to be found. Perfect. And then an alternative to this sentence could be 620 01:10:08,989 --> 01:10:15,449 the following. Alternative to fossil fuels need to be found if CO2 emissions are to be reduced. 621 01:10:16,210 --> 01:10:22,550 And I know that you know that both of these are correct. My question is, how are these two 622 01:10:22,550 --> 01:10:30,229 sentences different or similar to you? Do they sound exactly the same to you, or would you see 623 01:10:30,229 --> 01:10:35,810 a slight difference over there your own thinking okay there is no right or wrong answer what do 624 01:10:35,810 --> 01:10:42,649 you think they sound exactly the same to you or is the meaning or the emphasis is slightly different 625 01:10:42,649 --> 01:10:58,029 what do you think anyone except diana who cannot talk no do they sound the same or not 626 01:10:58,029 --> 01:11:08,520 well you place the first part you enhance in a way that you just say alternatives to 627 01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:15,140 fields need to be found. The CO2 emissions have to be reduced, so it 628 01:11:15,140 --> 01:11:22,319 depends on what you want to stress. That's it. So the conclusion that you get 629 01:11:22,319 --> 01:11:27,279 from here and from what Mariana was saying is that different parts of the 630 01:11:27,279 --> 01:11:34,039 sentence have different weight. Like the first part of the sentence is what we 631 01:11:34,039 --> 01:11:39,739 call the theme and it introduces you to to what the sentence is about but then 632 01:11:39,739 --> 01:11:46,079 the second part of the sentence is actually what somehow you want to make 633 01:11:46,079 --> 01:11:52,159 more prominent so the first part is like giving you the topic the theme and the 634 01:11:52,159 --> 01:11:56,720 second part of the top of the sentence is what we call the read and typically 635 01:11:56,720 --> 01:12:00,880 in the English sentence the most important information the information 636 01:12:00,880 --> 01:12:06,399 that you want to highlight, we put it at the end. That's the most memorable part 637 01:12:06,399 --> 01:12:12,100 of the sentence in English. So, listen to me while I read the sentences and maybe 638 01:12:12,100 --> 01:12:18,399 you grasp it. Like, if CO2 emissions are to be reduced, alternatives to fossil 639 01:12:18,399 --> 01:12:23,140 fuels need to be found. Y te quedes ahí con esa idea final de que 640 01:12:23,140 --> 01:12:29,560 alternatives need to be found.

What's the change that we had over here? Okay. Es 675 01:14:10,090 --> 01:14:15,930 un caso distinto, ¿no? Aquí tenemos, if a solution can be found to the problem of electricity 676 01:14:15,930 --> 01:14:22,010 storage, comparado con, if a solution to the problem of electricity storage can be found. 677 01:14:22,010 --> 01:14:34,239 Y ahora, lo mismo que os he preguntado antes, ¿cómo son esos dos principios de frase distintos? ¿Qué ha cambiado ahí? ¿Hay alguna que os suene mejor? 678 01:14:40,380 --> 01:14:47,739 Maite me parece que se nos ha congelado. ¿Os suenan exactamente igual? ¿Las veis igual de naturales? 679 01:14:49,340 --> 01:14:53,020 Vamos a ver más ejemplos, pero fijaos en la gramática de esto. 680 01:14:53,739 --> 01:15:00,579 Si una solución puede encontrarse al problema del almacenamiento de energía, ¿no?

692 01:15:49,060 --> 01:15:49,640 Es larga. 693 01:15:50,819 --> 01:15:51,619 Do you feel it? 694 01:15:51,619 --> 01:15:53,779 ¿No la sentís como que es larga? 695 01:15:54,239 --> 01:15:57,579 If a solution to the problem of electricity and storage can't be found, 696 01:15:58,039 --> 01:15:59,260 y para cuando llegas al verbo, 697 01:15:59,699 --> 01:16:05,979 Está muy al final, ya no te acuerdas de qué había, de qué, si esto era una solución o un problema o qué era. 698 01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,460 So, ¿qué hace la gramática inglesa en este caso? 699 01:16:10,020 --> 01:16:14,279 Te da la posibilidad de coger este complemento, este complemento de solución, 700 01:16:14,460 --> 01:16:17,420 que es solución al problema del electricity storage, 701 01:16:18,500 --> 01:16:21,220 y llevarlo al final de la frase principal. 702 01:16:21,779 --> 01:16:24,399 Para lo que es la frase principal, quede más compacta. 703 01:16:25,100 --> 01:16:27,300 Y entonces te queda, if a solution can be found, 704 01:16:27,300 --> 01:16:35,239 Y aquí tienes la conjunción, el nombre, el sujeto en este caso, solution, y el verbo, can be found. 705 01:16:36,020 --> 01:16:41,140 Y el resto de los complementos, que esto en realidad es un complemento del nombre, es qué tipo de solución, una solución a qué. 706 01:16:42,180 --> 01:16:46,100 Esto, que es muy largo, si os dais cuenta, es tan largo casi como el resto de la frase. 707 01:16:46,960 --> 01:16:50,079 Para que no despiste, se lo pueden llevar al final. 708 01:16:51,100 --> 01:16:51,380 Okay?
