    INTERMEDIATE I

    NAME:
    HOMEWORK 1
    DESCRIBING A CITY
    I live in Chiclayo, Lambayeque capital city, northern of Peru.

    I live in an urbanized area. It’s called Bancarios. It’s closed to the stadium.

    Chiclayo is not a really big city, so you can go anywhere quickly. Also the
    people is kind and gentle. That’s why Chiclayo is known as the friendship city.

    Chiclayo hasn’t got many entertaiment places, so you can go to the cinema or
    shop in Real Plaza shopping center.

    But if you get bored of the city, you can enjoy an outdoor day on the beach.
    Pimentel is the closest one. But there are many more.

    Also there are a lot of cultural places around the city, for example Huaca
    Rajada, Chotuna – Chornancap, Ventarron and their own museums.

    And definetely you have to taste the thypical gastronomy. You must prove Frito
    on Saturday, Causa on Sundays, Espesado on Mondays and Cabrito on
    Tuesday.

    TASK 1
    FEELING AT HOME WHEN LIVING ABROAD
    1. What can contact with an unfamiliar lifestyle cause some people to feel?
    It could be like an emotional roller-coaster. Because at first it could be
    exciting and fascinating. Then the initial enthusiasm could turns into
    anxiety. But finally it would be an amazing life experience.

    2. During wich phase do people have the most negative feeligns?


    It happens during the negotiation phase (3 – 6 months).

    3. During wich phase do people start recognizing the good qualities of a


    new culture?
    It’s during adjustment phase(6 – 12 months)

    4. How long does it take for people to get used to a new culture?
    It could take around 12 months or maybe more.

    5. Does keeping in touch with family and friends make people feel more
    homesick?
    No, it doesn’t. Otherwise, it could be an useful and helpful tip, that can
    make them feel that they are not missing out on important events.

    6. Why does the writer suggest doing activities like riding a bike in the new
    neighborhood?
    Because that tip could be helpful to explore new surroundings, and it
    could help anybody to move themselves quickly and better through the
    city.

    7. What does the writer mean by small things like this can make you feel
    less foreign?
    It means that a new routine could help to get use to the new lifestyle
    and cope with it.

    8. How can you make new friends when living abroad?


    I can make new friends getting involved in the local community and
    their activity.

    HOMEWORK 2

    Imagine you have received the following e-mail from a friend. Write a
    reply. Use the TIP and the plan on page 133.
    Hey Phill!

    It was nice to hear from you again. And it turned better because of the
    amazing new. I'm really glad you are going to study here.

    Personally, I believe it could be possible to get a part - time while you are
    studying, if you try hard. If you let me give you an advice, I'm going to say that
    you should live in Bancarios, because it's close to the downtown as well as all
    the universities. And that would be helpful for you. I think there are a place to
    work as a waiter in a restaurant called Marako's Grill and another one in Casa
    Andina. I'm going to get more information to be sure and I'll text you.

    Do not worry about anything! If you get bored, you can go to the cinema or
    shop in Real Plaza shopping center or go to dance to some disco. But if you
    want to enjoy an outdoor day. There are a lot of beaches, pools and country
    recreation places. I'll show you good places to hang out.

    I have to go now. But e-mail me when you get a chance.

    Keep in touch, Luis Fernando.

    TASK 2
    Report what happened to the class.

    FIRE BROKE OUT AT THE HOUSE OF MY MOM'S NEIGHBORS

    It was 2 o’clock in the afternoon. I was going to visit my mother and little
    sister. I was walking down the street and calling my mother, but she
    didn’t answer the call, when i saw a lot of people pile up on the street.
    Suddenly, there were shout and cries and a lot of confused noise, i was
    petrified.
    Immediately I rushed to find what was all that, when i saw a lot of smoke
    and firefighters close to my mom’s house. I couldn’t see well because
    the people and smoke, so i though the worst. My heart broke in pieces.
    I started to call to my mom and her husband, but they didn’t answer. As i
    was calling to my mom, I heard one of my mom’s friend was talking to
    me. I ask him what happened.
    He told me that he was with my mom, my mom’s husband and my little
    sister when they heard a noisy sound, and inmediatly the glass of the
    Windows broke. They got scared because sounded like a wall or a house
    was collapsing.
    They was went down the stairs and tried to leave the home, but the door
    was stuck. While he was trying to open the door, my mom said that they
    could scape for the window hole. So they did it.
    As soon as they left the home, they rushed out to get a safety place.
    That was when they could see that a big fire broke out at the neighbor's
    house. My mom took my little sister and went to my house because they
    couldn’t have a lunch and ask him if he could wait for me and tell me
    what happened.
    While he was telling me that, a firefighter said the cause of the fire was a
    gallon of gas. Because the house would have been an informal gas
    distribution business.
    I could see how the people were rescued with a fire ladder truck. But
    unfortunately they could not save all the persons who lived there, and
    three deaths were reported. Two kids and one old woman, who were
    close to the gallons when the first one exploded.
