Hello, mates!

My name’s David and I’m 12 years old. I am from London, the capital city of the UK. Today I’m writing about the things I like or don’t like. It isn’t easy because there are too many things to talk about. That’s why I have to concentrate my opinions on two or three topics.

To start with, let’s talk about food and drinks. I don’t like fish very much, but       I like meat. I really like fast food (pizza, hamburgers, chips, hot-dogs…), but my favourite snacks are pizza and hamburgers. Pizza is delicious with coke, but I prefer lemonade and orange juice to coke. I also like mineral water (sparkling or still), milk and white coffee. Tea is ok, but I hate alcoholic drinks! When it comes to fruit… I really adore strawberries, but pears are not my cup of tea. I like grapes and I love oranges! Apples are very good. You know the old saying: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. I’m not a fan of vegetables, but my parents and teachers say they’re very important. I think they’re right. I really hate broccoli, but carrots are ok. I detest cucumber salad, but I like mixed salad (lettuce and tomatoes). I’m crazy for mushrooms, but I really don’t like onions.

         And now… school! I love playing with my friends in the playground. I don’t like History very much and I hate my Maths lessons! Anyway, I like Gym and Art, but I prefer Science because I’m crazy for animals. I really like Music and I love my Portuguese lessons, but my favourite subject is English, of course!

         And you? What do you like?

LA RADIO

La Radio es un medio de comunicación masiva que se transmite a través del sonido. Combina el lenguaje oral con la música y otros efectos sonoros. Su función primordial es informar, entretener y orientar. Es un medio que se caracteriza por la compañía que ofrece a cualquier hora del día y por su inmediatez y espontaneidad.

El lenguaje radiofónico es eminentemente oral, pues sus mensajes están destinados a ser escuchados. Este hecho le atribuye una característica especial: su fugacidad, es decir, no poseer una permanencia en el tiempo. Debido a esto, la radio debe repetir sus mensajes o recurrir a elementos sonoros que mantengan la atención del oyente.

Características del lenguaje Verbal radiofónico.

a) La concisión: los mensajes radiofónicos deben ser breves y precisos para evitar el cansancio del auditor.

b) La claridad: el mensaje debe ser claro y sencillo y han de transmitirse con una correcta pronunciación y una entonación expresiva que mantenga la atención del oyente.

c) El dinamismo: la agilidad y rapidez oral mantienen la atención del oyente, lo que requiere una preparación previa de los mensajes radiofónicos.

Características del lenguaje NO Verbal radiofónico.

a) La música: cumple un rol fundamental, ya que puede ser usada tanto para ser escuchada y gozada por el oyente, como para marcar cambios de programa, ambientar mensajes verbales, atraer la atención del auditor, introducir secciones y destacar distintas emisoras.

b) Los efectos sonoros: son aquellos que reemplazan sonidos naturales (animales, fenómenos atmosféricos, de la vida cotidiana, etc.) con el fin de ambientar determinados espacios radiales.

Clasificación de los programas radiales:

De carácter libre: Programas de opinión y conversación. El tema es tratado por los conductores y sus invitados de manera espontánea y libre. Así encontramos: espacios de entretención, deportivos, entrevistas, misceláneos, musicales, políticos, etc.

Con pauta establecida: Informativos, como los noticiarios. Altamente estructurados, validan su información mediante “cuñas” (intervenciones extraídas directamente del personaje entrevistado).

GUION RADIAL: 

El guión es el instrumento que sirve para planificar cualquier programa radial,  especialmente para prever todo el material sonoro que será necesario para su producción.  Además  para que locutores y técnicos de sonido se entiendan y sepan qué es lo que configura un espacio en cada momento.

•El guión es necesario para organizar mejor nuestra información y mezcla radiofónica.  Uno puede hacer uso de las columnas o de los recuadros de acuerdo a su comodidad. Al redactar nuestros textos se debe facilitar la lectura de manera espontánea y natural.

•La redacción en radio debe ser sencilla y de acuerdo a la cotidianidad de sus oyentes.  Igual debe ser cuando se redactan noticias.    Las puntuaciones deben ser por entonación.  Es mejor colocar puntos suspensivos en vez de comas,

Ejemplo de guión:

ORTOGRAFÍA Y ALGO MÁS...

Talking about Likes and Dislikes

Hi students!

Let's talk about how to express LIKES and DISLIKES in English Language.
(hablemos sobre como expresar GUSTOS y DISGUSTOS en el idioma inglés)

We can express LIKES with the verbs like /enjoy /love, and DISLIKES with the verb hate /don't like.
(podemos expresar GUSTOS con los verbos like -gustar, enjoy -disfrutar y love -amar; y DISGUSTO con el verbo hate -odiar o usando don't like -disgustar)

1. We use the Present simple tense to talk about things we like and people we like.
   (usamos el tiempo presente simple para hablar sobre cosas y gente que nos gusta)

Example:
I like Pizza.
She likes dogs.
Tom likes Madonna.

2. We use the Present simple tense to talk about activities we enjoy doing.
   (usamos el tiempo presente simple para hablar sobre actividades que disfrutamos hacer)

   *Look at the structure: S + verb (like/enjoy/love) + activity (verb-ing)
     (mira la estructura)

Example:
I like simming.
Susan enjoys listening to music.
Ricky likes travelling.

3. We use the Present simple tense to talk about people and things we don't like.
   (usamos el tiempo presente simple para hablar sobre personas y cosas que nos desagradan)

Use don't/ doesn't instead do not / does not when you speak, and for informal writing.
 (usa don't/ doesn't en lugar de do not / does not al hablar, y para escribir informalmente)


Example:
I don't like fast food.
I don't like rude people.
she doesn't like sport.
My cousin doesn't like dancing hip-hop.


Exercise:
Write 5 things or people you like and 5 activities you like doing on weekend.

Example:
0. I like intelligent people. (people)
    I like action movies. (things)
    I like listening to pop music. (activity)

*Five things or people you like:                                  *Five activities you like:

2.                                                                                     2.
3.                                                                                     3.
4.                                                                                     4.
