H5P: Spotting cognates: words I already know in English

Activity 2 · 1%
What you bring
From the forum: your own sentences and your classmates' feedback. Now the class explains every detail, and the Campus H5P checks that you understand a real text.
What this prepares you for
The assignment «My first words: "I am…" + classroom expressions» needs this language to build your product.

How the H5P works: the site and the UNAH Virtual Campus

  1. Here, on the site: study the class below. It has no grades: read, listen and go further as much as you want.
  2. On the UNAH Virtual Campus: log in, enter your English I class and open Activity 2 · H5P: Spotting cognates: words I already know in English. It is graded (1%).
  3. If you make a mistake, the feedback says «Review slide N». Come back to that slide here.
  4. Try again. Your best attempt counts in the gradebook.
  5. Pass mark: 65 %. 65 % or more = competency reached. Your teacher reads your result as a percentage or as a competency level (see below).
  6. Culture: the last text of the H5P is about the Cultural Corner of your period (III PAC). Study slide 6.

Aquí estudias la clase (sin nota). En el UNAH Virtual Campus realizas el H5P calificado. Si fallas, la retroalimentación te dice qué pantalla repasar aquí; luego vuelves a intentarlo y cuenta tu mejor intento.

Hello, English! Words I already know: the class

Slide 1Campus: All scenes

What you will learn

I can recognize words I already know and say who I am.

On the UNAH Virtual Campus, Activity 2 · Spotting cognates: words I already know in English asks you to read and complete 2 short real-life texts. These slides teach everything it checks.

En español

Puedo reconocer palabras que ya conozco (cognados) y decir quién soy.

Slide 2Campus: Scenes 1 and 2

The rule · Cognates + I am…

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

EnglishEspañol
I am Ana.Soy Ana.
I'm a student.Soy estudiante.
I'm from Honduras.Soy de Honduras.

Tips for Activity 2
  • Use I am to say who you are.
  • Actually is a false friend.

Los cognados se parecen en inglés y en español: hospital, computer, university. «I am» significa «yo soy / yo estoy». Cuidado con los falsos amigos: actually = en realidad.
