Activity 7 · Using formal and informal greetings

Model

Hello! I am Carlos Díaz. I am a medicine student at UNAH. I am from Choluteca. Cognates in my career: hospital, patient, doctor. In class I say: Can you repeat, please? How do you say «jeringa» in English? Thank you!

A model, not a template: your product is about you, your career and your own sources.

Learn before you do it

What a good product has

  1. Opening: greet the reader or say what your text is about (1 sentence).
  2. Body: the information the task asks for, in short sentences with the language of the lesson.
  3. Career and culture: one sentence about your career and one comparison with Honduras.
  4. Closing: a short final sentence. Then your Source card.

The language you need · Cognates + I am…

Cognates are words that look similar in English and Spanish. Use I am (I'm) to say who you are.

  • I am a student at UNAH.
  • Hospital, music and university are cognates.
  • Can you repeat, please?

  • Engineering & technology: I'm an engineering student. Computer, system and energy are cognates.
  • Business & economics: I'm a business student. Bank, economy and product are cognates.
  • Education, humanities & communication: I'm a journalism student. Television, radio and culture are cognates.

Cultural connection · II PAC

Event of this week: Asian / Pacific American Heritage Month (All of May). See it in your II PAC Cultural Passport.

Your cultural mission: Many languages live in the U.S. Which languages do you know? Write: «I speak Spanish and a little English».

Mirror Honduras: There are Chinese and Arab communities in Honduras too. What do you know about them?

Include one comparison between the U.S. and Honduras: one similarity and one difference.

Be respectful: say «In my experience…» or «In my city…», not «All Americans…» or «All Hondurans…». Need ideas? Ask SofIA Cultural.
