Segundo examen de pendientes de Bachillerato, 1º y 2º Nocturno

El examen se hará el día 26 de Abril, a las 16,45. Pondré un anuncio en el tablón de la entrada del instituto, pero ya está fijada fecha y hora.
Ya sabéis que este examen hará media con el anterior. Mucha suerte y mucho estudio a todos.

If I were a boy

You are going to listen to Beyonce song"If I were a boy".

Then, fill the gaps in the copy. Find all the conditionals and translate them to Spanish

TELL A STORY

You are going to watch a short film. They don't speak, but some written displays are shown.
After watching the first part you should:

- Write all the English written language you saw.
- Decide how the story is going to end.

Now watch the sencond part. Then, relate with your own words, the story you saw in the video.

PASSIVE WITH REPORTING VERBS

Impersonal use
This is the part Spanish people don't like at all. However, this form is often used in English, especially in things like newspaper reports.
Structures:

It + passive reporting verb + that + clause

subject + passive reporting verb + to infinitive

Both these structures are used, but the first one is probably the most usual because it can be used with almost any sentence:

It is said that twenty people have died in the explosion.
Twenty people are said to have died in the explosion.

It is believed that the prime minister is on the point of resigning.
The prime minister is believed to be on the point of resigning.

It was agreed that the strike would end at midnight.

It has been estimated that 200 new jobs will be created.

The equivalent structure in Spanish is often the reflexive:

Se dice que...
Se supone que...

Some of the verbs you can use with this structure are believe, calculate, claim, consider, discover, estimate, feel, hope, know, prove, report, say, show, think, understand, etc.
