Tema 22: La Televisión
When in 1932 BBC's TV public service began not many people had the opportunity to watch it; there weren’t many TV sets available and they were very expensive, they were as expensive as a small car. Today, a great number of families all over the world have more than one TV set in their houses. Many years ago the central figure of a sitting-room was the table around which family life moved. Sitting around the table parents and children had their meals, talked about their interests, read papers or stories but, above all, listened to the others, there was communication! Today the central figure is… the TV screen! The bigger, the better! (¡cuanto más grande… mejor!). Many families today spend more hours watching TV than talking to each other or playing games, or reading or writing and therefore TV becomes their main source of information, communication and… education?. Whether this is good or bad, it is a question that each of us should answer.
1. Did Volvamos a la actividad 1. La pregunta nº 5 está formulada utilizando el pasado del verbo To Be: What was Christine Bleakley’s job before being a presenter in “The One Show”? ¿Cuál era el trabajo de Ch. Bleakley antes de unirse al equipo del “The One Show”? Pero esta pregunta podríamos haberla formulado de otra manera, utilizando el pasado del verbo To Work: ¿Dónde trabajaba….?

Ahora vamos a ver por qué hemos elegido la primera opción. Muy fácil; cuando utilizamos el verbo To Be (otro auxiliar o un modal) en una oración interrogativa o en una negativa nos limitamos a cambiar el orden de las palabras de la frase (interrogativa) Christine was a floor manager vs Was Christine a floor manager? o a añadir la partícula negativa “NOT” detrás de la forma verbal: Christine was a floor manager vs Christine was not a floor manager Sin embargo cuando tenemos un verbo ordinario, sea este regular o no, hemos de introducir el verbo “To Do” para hacer las transformaciones negativas e interrogativas. Algo que sabemos hacer en presente: Sujeto + Do/Does + not + forma base para la transformación negativa Do/Does + Sujeto + forma base del verbo + ? para la interrogativa pero que no hemos visto en pasado, aunque es facilísimo.

Tema 24: Newspapers 1. Prehistoric newspapers TEACHER: Jim, Do you think that there were newspapers in Prehistoric times? JIM: No, madam. There weren’t newspapers in Prehistoric times. TEACHER: ... And, how did people learn about what was happening in their settlements and in other settlements?. JIM: Well, I think that information was oral, one-to-one... TEACHER: OK, Jim, that is a good guess. And how do you think they informed the people in other settlements, Gina? GINA: I don’t know, madam, but I imagine that the pictures they painted on the ceiling of their caves were their way of informing others about the land and the animals, and the family life...
2. The romans It’s 59 BC. You are a Roman citizen but you do not live in Rome. You are a warrior that is going to settle in Rome after long years of war in other countries. You are so happy! Living in Rome must be wonderful, a lot of fun! With all those games, and feasts and festivals! But... how can you, a newcomer, learn about social events or political news if you have no friends or family to inform you?

AH! Rome is always Rome! And even as early as 59 B.C. they have their written information... The Acta Diurna! so that you can move around, meet people and have fun!
3. From the 15th Century on... The Acta Diurna was published till the fall of the Roman Empire. In the 15th century Gütenberg invented the printing press and, this invention, marked the beginning of a rapid growth of printed materials. In the 16th century Venetians posted a news paper bulletin called the Gazetta. In the 17th century other papers appeared in Germany (Relation in 1605), France (Gazette in 1631), Belgium (Nieuwe Tijdingen in 1616)and England, (the London Gazette, founded in 1665). But the first daily newspaper did not appear till 1702. It was an English paper the Daily Courant. All these papers informed people of events happening in the different European countries, but the news were not “really new”. It was not till the invention of the telegraph in 1844 (19 century) that information about important facts arrived nearly as soon as they were taking place. could be transferred within a matter of minutes, allowing for more timely, relevant reporting. th
The last years of the 19th century and the first half of the 20 th represented “the golden age” of newspapers. By 1950 papers had to fight their “personal war” for customers against radio and television, two very powerful opponents. Papers started to use colour pictures in their reports and logos and banners. The technological revolution that started in the second half of the 20 century is creating new challenges. Newspapers have to compete not only with the radio or the TV but with the internet and mobile phones. Nowadays we can find thousands of online (virtual) newspapers that we can read at a click of our computer th
The amount and immediacy of information on the Internet is unparalleled, but newspapers in print are still a popular and powerful medium for the reporting and analysis of events. Many people in the world read a newspaper every day! And many, recycle them after reading!

4. This is how a newspaper works Newspapers do not appear by magic. But we never or rarely see photos of “reporters” and “journalists” as we do with television presenters. Reporters gather and write stories about different topics and events and they pass them on to the editors who see the finished stories, make corrections or suggestions and ultimately send them on to the copy desk where other people re-read the stories and make any necessary grammar or spelling corrections before sending the “ultimate version” to the “managing director” who revises them and sends them to press. To test a piece of news editors usually rely on the “Five Ws and one H” test. A good report must give an answer to all these six questions:
Estas seis preguntas deben tener una respuesta clara en la entradilla de la noticia.
