La Liga de Futbol Profesional de España habría rechazado los 222 millones que el París Saint-Germain (PSG)
intentó pagar hoy al FC Barcelona por la liberación del brasileño Neymar da Silva, para pasar a la plantilla del club
parisino.
Un equipo de abogados del delantero y del PSG acudió este jueves a la sede del organismo deportivo, entre ellos
el litigante Juan de Dios Crespo, especializado en derecho deportivo, acompañado de un notario público para
tratar de cerrar la operación, informó el diario deportivo Marca.
Según el medio especializado, la Liga española ha rechazado el pago de los 222 millones de la cláusula de
rescisión del contrato que Neymar tiene con el FC Barcelona, al considerar que la operación rompe con el “juego
limpio financiero” entre clubes europeos.
El presidente de la Liga de Futbol Profesional (LFP), Javier Tebas, había anunciado la víspera que se trata de una
operación de un “club-Estado”, debido a que el fondo soberano de inversiones de Qatar, es propietario del club
parisino.
De acuerdo con el rotativo, el jugador podría solicitar un “transfer provisional” a la FIFA al comprobarse que se
dispuso del pago de la cláusula de rescisión al Barça y que está pendiente de resolverse el trámite administrativo.
En tanto, el FC Barcelona (al que aún pertenece Neymar) espera la confirmación oficial de la LFP para hacer
efectivo o no el traspaso del jugador.
“The A Team” parece ser una canción muy optimista por el
tipo de música que la acompaña. Sin embargo, la canción
trata un tema muy obscuro*. Se trata de una triste realidad
que miles de personas viven diariamente: la
drogadicción. Cuenta la historia de una chica pobre que
lucha día a día para conseguir el dinero necesario para
subsistir. La protagonista pasa la mayor parte del tiempo en
la calle buscando dinero.
“The A Team” fue escrita cuando Ed Sheeran tenía 18 años,
después de visitar un refugio para personas sin hogar. Fue
ahí donde conoció la historia de una mujer, de la cual la
canción está basada. La canción menciona que la joven
pertenece al equipo de la “Clase A”. Esto se refiere a una
clasificación de drogas en el Reino Unido. Las sustancias de
clase A (heroína, éxtasis, cocaína, crack y LSD) son
consideradas como las más peligrosas.
La canción ha recibido un gran número de críticas positivas.
El 5 de diciembre de 2012, “The A Team” fue nominada para
un premio Grammy en la categoría “Canción del año”.
“The A Team”
(1) Copia las frases subrayadas y
escríbelas el inglés.
(2) Haz un resumen (summary) del
artículo en inglés.
EX: Traduce el segundo párrafo.
1. Para ahorrar agua, lo más importante es no malgastar. Por eso, cierra el grifo mientras te cepillas los
dientes, o mientras te enjabonas en la ducha. Además, es mejor cambiar el baño por la ducha.
2. Separa los residuos en distintos cubos de basura. Puedes decorar cubos de distintos colores para que sea
más fácil identificar qué debes poner en cada bolsa.
3. Antes de reciclar el papel, recuerda usarlo por las dos caras. Además, puedes comprar papel reciclado, así
salvarás árboles.
4. Utiliza el transporte público en lugar del coche. Es un ahorro para toda la familia, y contribuirás a evitar la
contaminación y el derroche de energía.
5. Usa bombillas de bajo consumo. No sólo ayudarás a ahorrar electricidad, sino que también reducen el
gasto en la factura de la luz.
6. Apaga los aparatos eléctricos de casa cuando no se estén usando. El estado en standby consume energía,
así que es mejor desconectarlos del todo. También puedes esperar a que la lavadora o el lavavajillas estén
llenos antes de enchufarlos, así no desperdiciarás electricidad ni agua.
7. No abuses de la calefacción o el aire acondicionado. Es un gasto energético y un peligro para la salud
abusar de una temperatura demasiado fría o caliente en casa, lo recomendable son unos 20º en invierno.
8. Reutiliza las bolsas de plástico, y utiliza mejor las que sean biodegradables. Guárdalas cuando vayáis a
hacer la compra, o usa bolsas de tela.
9. No abuses de la luz eléctrica, aprovecha la luz natural. Es más saludable ajustar nuestro horario para
aprovechar al máximo las horas de luz solar.
10. Usa cajar, telas, bricks...para hacer manualidades de decoraciones o juguetes. Cualquier objeto se puede
reciclar y convertir en algo increíble, ¡usa tu imaginación!
¿A qué número corresponde cada consejo?
Atención: hay dos consejos que no necesitas.

Conseils pour passer de bonnes vacances entre amis
1. Gérez votre argent
Si vous ne décidez pas d’un budget à l’avance, vous risquez les polémiques et les conflits. Avant de partir, choisissez un budget
raisonnable, histoire d’éviter d’arriver sur place en vous disant que vous allez siroter du champagne, alors que les autres
cherchent un café pas cher. Partir en vacances entre amis, c'est mettre carte sur table avant le départ et bien connaître la
situation de chacun.
3. Sachez faire des compromis
Même si vous êtes le seul à ne pas vouloir aller au parc aquatique, faire un caprice ne réglera pas le problème - et ne vous
rendra pas populaire auprès de vos amis. Parfois, il faut apprendre à suivre le mouvement, en sachant que l’on pourra faire ce
que l’on veut un autre jour. Partir en vacances entre amis nécessite de faire des compromis car il est bien difficile d'avoir
toujours les mêmes envies au même moment.
2. Partagez la note
Toujours sur le même sujet, l'argent. Evitez de devoir de l’argent - on qu’on vous doive de l’argent. Partagez les notes à parts
égales et tenez-vous en à votre budget. Cela vous évitera d’avoir à polémiquer, une fois rentrés, pour savoir qui doit 30 euros
à qui.
4. Faites des groupes
La moitié de votre groupe veut aller boire un coup et l’autre moitié veut aller se coucher? Vous n’êtes pas obligés de passer
toutes les vacances ensemble - mais il faut que personne ne soit mis de côté.
6. Evitez les sujets risqués
Il y a bien sûr les classiques (religion, politique, argent). Mais pendant que vous y êtes, évitez de profiter des vacances pour
annoncer à votre ami que vous déménagez de l’appartement que vous partagez, ou que c'est vous qui avez cassé son
ordinateur et accusé le chien... Même si vous avez envie de vider votre sac pendant que l'ambiance est bonne, elle ne le
restera peut-être pas, même après trois mojitos.
5. Isolez-vous
C'est fatigant d'être sociable 24 heures sur 24. Ne vous sentez pas coupable de vouloir faire la sieste quand tout le monde
part déjeuner, ou de faire bronzette quand tout le monde saute sur un bateau-banane gonflable. Vous serez même au
premier rang quand ils tomberont tous à l'eau ! Un voyage entre amis n'implique pas que vous soyez collés, chacun peut
s'octroyer un espace de liberté.
7. Buvez avec modération
L'alcool peut vous faire faire des choses stupides ! Surtout ces cocktails super forts qu'ils servent dans les stations
balnéaires et que l'on adore boire quand on part en vacances entre amis. Nous ne sommes pas en train de vous dire qu’il ne
faut rien boire du tout, mais faites attention de ne pas trop boire, ou vous risquez de vous fâcher avec tout le groupe, ou de
partir tout seul et vous perdre, ou de ne pas réussir à vous lever le lendemain pour cette excursion que vous aviez prévue…
La liste est sans fin.
8. Connaissez vos limites
Ce n'est pas parce que tout le monde veut faire du parachute, que vous devez en faire aussi. Vous n’êtes pas
obligé de toujours faire comme les autres, et encore moins de vous mettre dans une situation où vous n’êtes
pas à l’aise juste pour leur faire plaisir. Si vous n’avez pas envie de faire quelque chose, ne le faites pas car vous
risquez d’en vouloir à vos amis - ce qui n’est pas une bonne idée quand on part en vacances avec eux !

  • 79. La Liga de Futbol Profesional de España habría rechazado los 222 millones que el París Saint-Germain (PSG) intentó pagar hoy al FC Barcelona por la liberación del brasileño Neymar da Silva, para pasar a la plantilla del club parisino. Un equipo de abogados del delantero y del PSG acudió este jueves a la sede del organismo deportivo, entre ellos el litigante Juan de Dios Crespo, especializado en derecho deportivo, acompañado de un notario público para tratar de cerrar la operación, informó el diario deportivo Marca. Según el medio especializado, la Liga española ha rechazado el pago de los 222 millones de la cláusula de rescisión del contrato que Neymar tiene con el FC Barcelona, al considerar que la operación rompe con el “juego limpio financiero” entre clubes europeos. El presidente de la Liga de Futbol Profesional (LFP), Javier Tebas, había anunciado la víspera que se trata de una operación de un “club-Estado”, debido a que el fondo soberano de inversiones de Qatar, es propietario del club parisino. De acuerdo con el rotativo, el jugador podría solicitar un “transfer provisional” a la FIFA al comprobarse que se dispuso del pago de la cláusula de rescisión al Barça y que está pendiente de resolverse el trámite administrativo. En tanto, el FC Barcelona (al que aún pertenece Neymar) espera la confirmación oficial de la LFP para hacer efectivo o no el traspaso del jugador.
  • 80. “The A Team” parece ser una canción muy optimista por el tipo de música que la acompaña. Sin embargo, la canción trata un tema muy obscuro*. Se trata de una triste realidad que miles de personas viven diariamente: la drogadicción. Cuenta la historia de una chica pobre que lucha día a día para conseguir el dinero necesario para subsistir. La protagonista pasa la mayor parte del tiempo en la calle buscando dinero. “The A Team” fue escrita cuando Ed Sheeran tenía 18 años, después de visitar un refugio para personas sin hogar. Fue ahí donde conoció la historia de una mujer, de la cual la canción está basada. La canción menciona que la joven pertenece al equipo de la “Clase A”. Esto se refiere a una clasificación de drogas en el Reino Unido. Las sustancias de clase A (heroína, éxtasis, cocaína, crack y LSD) son consideradas como las más peligrosas. La canción ha recibido un gran número de críticas positivas. El 5 de diciembre de 2012, “The A Team” fue nominada para un premio Grammy en la categoría “Canción del año”. “The A Team” (1) Copia las frases subrayadas y escríbelas el inglés.

Además, es mejor cambiar el baño por la ducha. 2. Separa los residuos en distintos cubos de basura. Puedes decorar cubos de distintos colores para que sea más fácil identificar qué debes poner en cada bolsa. 3. Antes de reciclar el papel, recuerda usarlo por las dos caras.

El estado en standby consume energía, así que es mejor desconectarlos del todo. También puedes esperar a que la lavadora o el lavavajillas estén llenos antes de enchufarlos, así no desperdiciarás electricidad ni agua. 7. No abuses de la calefacción o el aire acondicionado. Es un gasto energético y un peligro para la salud abusar de una temperatura demasiado fría o caliente en casa, lo recomendable son unos 20º en invierno. 8. Reutiliza las bolsas de plástico, y utiliza mejor las que sean biodegradables. Guárdalas cuando vayáis a hacer la compra, o usa bolsas de tela. 9. No abuses de la luz eléctrica, aprovecha la luz natural. Es más saludable ajustar nuestro horario para aprovechar al máximo las horas de luz solar. 10.

  • 87. Conseils pour passer de bonnes vacances entre amis
  • 88. 1. Gérez votre argent Si vous ne décidez pas d’un budget à l’avance, vous risquez les polémiques et les conflits. Avant de partir, choisissez un budget raisonnable, histoire d’éviter d’arriver sur place en vous disant que vous allez siroter du champagne, alors que les autres cherchent un café pas cher. Partir en vacances entre amis, c'est mettre carte sur table avant le départ et bien connaître la situation de chacun. 3. Sachez faire des compromis Même si vous êtes le seul à ne pas vouloir aller au parc aquatique, faire un caprice ne réglera pas le problème - et ne vous rendra pas populaire auprès de vos amis. Parfois, il faut apprendre à suivre le mouvement, en sachant que l’on pourra faire ce que l’on veut un autre jour. Partir en vacances entre amis nécessite de faire des compromis car il est bien difficile d'avoir toujours les mêmes envies au même moment. 2. Partagez la note Toujours sur le même sujet, l'argent. Evitez de devoir de l’argent - on qu’on vous doive de l’argent. Partagez les notes à parts égales et tenez-vous en à votre budget. Cela vous évitera d’avoir à polémiquer, une fois rentrés, pour savoir qui doit 30 euros à qui. 4. Faites des groupes La moitié de votre groupe veut aller boire un coup et l’autre moitié veut aller se coucher? Vous n’êtes pas obligés de passer toutes les vacances ensemble - mais il faut que personne ne soit mis de côté.
  • 89. 6. Evitez les sujets risqués Il y a bien sûr les classiques (religion, politique, argent). Mais pendant que vous y êtes, évitez de profiter des vacances pour annoncer à votre ami que vous déménagez de l’appartement que vous partagez, ou que c'est vous qui avez cassé son ordinateur et accusé le chien... Même si vous avez envie de vider votre sac pendant que l'ambiance est bonne, elle ne le restera peut-être pas, même après trois mojitos. 5. Isolez-vous C'est fatigant d'être sociable 24 heures sur 24. Ne vous sentez pas coupable de vouloir faire la sieste quand tout le monde part déjeuner, ou de faire bronzette quand tout le monde saute sur un bateau-banane gonflable. Vous serez même au premier rang quand ils tomberont tous à l'eau ! Un voyage entre amis n'implique pas que vous soyez collés, chacun peut s'octroyer un espace de liberté. 7. Buvez avec modération L'alcool peut vous faire faire des choses stupides ! Surtout ces cocktails super forts qu'ils servent dans les stations balnéaires et que l'on adore boire quand on part en vacances entre amis. Nous ne sommes pas en train de vous dire qu’il ne faut rien boire du tout, mais faites attention de ne pas trop boire, ou vous risquez de vous fâcher avec tout le groupe, ou de partir tout seul et vous perdre, ou de ne pas réussir à vous lever le lendemain pour cette excursion que vous aviez prévue… La liste est sans fin. 8. Connaissez vos limites Ce n'est pas parce que tout le monde veut faire du parachute, que vous devez en faire aussi. Vous n’êtes pas obligé de toujours faire comme les autres, et encore moins de vous mettre dans une situation où vous n’êtes pas à l’aise juste pour leur faire plaisir. Si vous n’avez pas envie de faire quelque chose, ne le faites pas car vous risquez d’en vouloir à vos amis - ce qui n’est pas une bonne idée quand on part en vacances avec eux !

  1. From “Engaging Learners”
  2. Phonics grid image from Rachelhawkes.com
  3. Reading aloud - this is for those highly able students who believe they “can’t pronounce” things properly. In 3s (A and B are one). Take it in turns to read their section aloud, focussing simply on pronunciation of the underlined phonics, which the teacher explicitly goes through with the class before the activity. The others peer assess that student’s pronunciation only of the red phonics and gives an easy WWW/EBI i.e. WWW all zo sounds correct EBI you always remembered to pronounce 2 lls as a y. An obvious challenge is to take away the red marks but have the same key phonics as the objective. An obvious next step is to then use the text as a reading activity, and so on.
  4. Verbal translation activity is adapted from Gianfranco Conti’s Language Gym blog. My adaptation is that for an extra challenge, students have to change the words in red for something different whilst making sure it still makes sense. This is a kind of “closed” spontaneity for reluctant speakers.

My adaptation is that for an extra challenge, students have to change the words in red for something different whilst making sure it still makes sense. This is a kind of “closed” spontaneity for reluctant speakers.
  6. Students take turns to be A and B. A is patient, B is doctor. A rolls dice to choose a problem, B has to give appropriate advice and say how often (by rolling their dice). Orange arrows are for highly able – encouraging “closed” spontaneity”, variety of tenses, creativity and exclamations *I.e. pobrecito, etc. Storytelling etc.
  7. Board game – only have to print and laminate these once! Students work in 3s or 5s. One person is the answer master (with all translations written down). The other 2 or 4 work in teams or alone against each other. They roll a dice and have to translate the sentence attached to the number they land on - he next slide shows statements to be translated. They are given 10 seconds thinking time. If they can produce it on the spot and it’s correct, they get another go. If it’s wrong, the answer master reads them the correct answer and they are “frozen” – it’s the other team’s go. When possession comes back to them, they can reproduce the phrase (which they hopefully memorised) and carry on. If they are right first time, they carry on until they get one wrong. Lots of Highly Able possibilities: Highly Able as answer master (so that they can explain WHY it was wrong and advise on pronunciation, intonation and grammar) or Highly Able with a separate set of statements to be translated, with “weakest” students given answers to boost confidence and be given exposure to reading and hearing answers.
  8. Challenge bingo – tasks for students to self check within a lesson (criteria to be changed depending on unit/ content being learnt)
  9. Alternative for reluctant speakers – forces them to do at least one speaking objective to get a row.
  10. Blank grid for students to self complete – what do they think they need to improve? Self-management.
  11. Teacher reads sentences out in Spanish that have some details different to the translation on the board. Students have to write on WBs what the differences were.
