The Dead Sea
Dead Sea, which lies
between Jordan and Israel, is lowest lake in world. It is about 397 metres below sea level and
it contains saltiest water in world. This is because several rivers carrying
minerals (including salt) flow into
lake, but none flow out of it.
Surface water
evaporates, but all minerals remain behind.
Salt makes it easy
for swimmers to float – you can even read
book while floating on your back. In fact
lake contains six times more salt than ordinary
sea water so swimmer’s body is six times more buoyant than
usual.

Dear Sir/Madam,

to host the

When I originally signed up, I chose the basic plan which
you advertised for 5.99 euros per month.
happy with your service throughout the year, I notice that
you have upgraded me to your 'plus' plan which

month without informing me, and you have deducted this
amount from my credit card without my permission.

I am now paying nearly double for extra services that I
don’t even need.
, I notice that
you are currently offering an even cheaper starter plan on
your website which costs 3.99 euros per month. Surely I
should have been

While I appreciate the fact that it is common practice to
offer cheap rates as an incentive to new customers, I find
it that a company
would increase a recurring fee and impose an upgrade without
consulting the client first.

The Dentist's
Nobody likes going to the dentists, do they? When I was
young and living in the UK, I remember being given gas
before having a tooth
.
Mr. Fox, a kind, gentle dentist with wonderful a sense of
humour and half-moon spectacles balancing on the
of his nose,
would hold a rubber mask over my mouth and nose until I
.
I’d come round with a wad of bloody cotton wool in mouth, my
head spinning.
How strange and barbaric that all sounds now, but 40 years
ago tooth extractions by gas were common. As were huge metal
connected to
rubber and glass
bottles.
“How are things at school?”, Mr. Fox would ask, knowing full
well I couldn’t speak
with my mouth
wide open and his fingers inside. “What’s your favourite
subject?”
“Ahhayimpruhh anhiraharu”, I replied. Mr.Fox nodded and
smiled, as if he understood every word. Perhaps he did!
The best thing about going to the dentist, apart from
an afternoon
school, was that
my mum would always buy me a present afterwards, for being
‘such a good boy’. An Airfix model aeroplane, for example,
that would take me weeks to paint and then
or a jigsaw puzzle or small game. My bedroom ceiling was
full of World War II planes,
there as swinging
reminders of bravery at the hands of Mr. Fox.
Because of my love for chocolate, cakes and
, I’ve never been
a stranger to dentists. As fate would have it, I even live
with one! Now, when I look around the modern cubicle at the
shiny hi-tech and
, and miniature
cameras and video screens, I often think back to Mr. Fox and
the silly schoolboy songs I used to sing to myself to help
me through the nervous moments in his huge, old, leather
dentist’s chair.
Now complete the following sentences with an expression from the
previous exercise.
1. If we want to stay
, we're going to
have to keep innovating and changing with the times.
2. Unfortunately, our competitors have
. They have a very
large percentage of market share.
3. I'd really appreciate any advice you have for me. I don't
want .
4. We were making good money for the first five years, but
the financial crisis hit us hard and within a year we were
and owed the bank
a lot of money.
5. There is always worry over who will get
in the oil
markets.
6. Everyone made small talk, but nobody spoke about the fact
that people were going to lose their jobs. That was the

- Sirve para formar los tiempos compuestos cuando acompaña al participio
de los verbos.
I have played
/ He jugado I had played / Había jugado
- Cuando va seguido de un infinitivo, equivale
a la expresión española 'tener que'.
I have to go / Tengo que ir I have to read that book / Tengo que leer ese libro
Diferencia entre have + to + infinitivo
y 'must'
'Must' en su sentido de obligación, se usa para
dar órdenes o para hacer que alguien o uno mismo cumpla con un cierto
compromiso:
You must stop smoking
/ Tiene que dejar de fumar
(Dice el médico)
Cuando se trata de
órdenes externas impuestas, (leyes, normas, etc) o dictadas por
terceros, es más usual el empleo de 'to have to'
The doctor says I have to stop smoking /
El médico dice que tengo que dejar de fumar.
En forma negativa, 'must not' expresa una
prohibición. En cambio, 'don't have' to indica que algo no es necesario, es
decir, que no existe obligación.
You mustn't listen to other people's
conversations. No debes escuchar las conversaciones de otras personas. You don't have to listen to the speech if you don't want to. No tienes que escuchar el discurso si no quieres.
