Visita al Colegio de Arquitectos

La semana pasada los alumnos de 6º fuimos al Colegio de Arquitectos.
Al llegar nos recibieron tres personas, un hombre llamado Miguel, y dos mujeres llamadas Maribel y Pilar.
Nos condujeron a una sala. Alli nos explicaron muchas cosas sobre el Sol, la energía. el calor y la luz.
Después con una cámara térmica nos demostraron la reacción provocada al mezclar objetos fríos y calientes.
Luego nos propusieron una curiosa y divertida actividad. Debíamos diseñar un edificio basándonos en lo que habíamos aprendido.Al final de la visita nos hicieron una foto con la cámara térmica.

Present Perfect

In English class we have been learning and practicing the present perfect tense.  We use the present perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now. The exact time is not important. You CANNOT use the present perfect with specific time expressions such as: yesterday, one year ago, last week, when I was a child, when I lived in Japan, at that moment, that day, one day, etc. We CAN use the present perfect with unspecific expressions such as: ever, never, once, many times, several times, before, so far, already, yet, just, etc.

Check this site to know more and do the exercises. It's good practice for the english exam

Practice your present perfect for recent actions using already, just, and yet:
