Announcer
(On Saturday morning, the postman delivered the newspaper.)
Sara: comes out and
picks up the newspaper.
Antonio: what`s on the
news?
Sara: it is something
very interesting.
Antonio: let me please,
I to observe.
During the whole Saturday, the vaccination day was carried out at a
national level; the health ministry looked for children between 0 and 6 years
old, to get up to date with the vaccines, as well as the gestating mothers. In Monteria
all the health posts were enabled as well as the different headquarters of ESE
live health.
Sara: Good thing I'm
happy for the children and women who are pregnant, so they are already up to
date with their vaccines and they are not prone to so many diseases.
Antonio: Of course, my
love, it is important to carry out all the preventive controls in these stages
of development for both children and expectant mothers.
That’s why the little Sara was born strong and healthy because I always
accompanied you to all the medical checkups.

There is / There are
The phrases “there is" and "there are" indicate that
something or a group of things exist or do not exist. e.g.
a) There's a fly in my soup
b) There are several mistakes in this report.
Note that it is possible to say the following:
a) A fly is in my soup.
b) Several mistakes are in this report.
Using the pronoun there as a subject in these example sentences stresses
the fact that the "the fly" or "the mistakes" exist. By
using "there" in the sentences, the speaker makes a clear declarative
statement, drawing more attention to his statement.
The Verb To Be in the Simple
Past Tense: Was / Were
The past forms of the verb to be are was and were, and the conjugation
of the verb is as follows:
I / he / she / it = was
You / we / they= were
The forms was and were are used to describe a situation or situations in
the past that no longer exist, e.g.
There were two men on that corner, but they are gone now.
Terry was thin when he was young.
The concert last night was fabulous!

Idiomatic expressions and
words with colloquial meaning
In informal language words are used with a special or �colloquial� meaning. This
is the case of some underlined words from the reading above. For example, the
word squeeze in its broadest meaning means to crush or press something. Oranges
are squeezed to make orange juice. But in the following sentence:
Ten schoolchildren squeezed
into a Renault 4
The word squeezed means that ten children managed to get into a very
small car. That’s why they broke a world record and got into the Guinness
Records Book. This happens because in this context, the word squeezed is used
colloquially and has a different meaning.
Something similar happens with idiomatic expressions. The words in
idiomatic expressions do not take a literal or �dictionary� meaning; their
meaning comes from the situation or context they apply to. This is the case of
expressions like �in a hurry� which is used to indicate that someone has a real urgency to do
something. In the reading, the expression �he wasn’t in a hurry� means that the
robber didn’t have any urgency to get away from the bank. That’s why he was
riding a bike, instead of going away in a car or some fast vehicle.
Short reading about the topic
(Peter and Gina are in their living room after dinner)
PETER: What’s on the news?
GINA: Nothing good,
you can be sure.
PETER: Well, let’s see what the
bad news is, then. (Turns on the TV)
ANNOUNCER:
The police said the individual was about 5 feet 10 inches tall and wore
a mask.
There were reports he was seen driving away in a blue Monza.
Now on to some lighter news. In Medellin, Colombia, ten schoolchildren
squeezed into a Renault 4 car and broke a Guinness Record.
In Raynham, England a bank robber was arrested after trying to escape ON
A BICYCLE. I guess he wasn’t in a hurry.
In Motown Kentucky a 25-year old woman wants to strengthen her tummy
muscles. She drinks only fruit juices and lies down with two cinder blocks on
her tummy for five hours every day. I think she’s on a �crush� diet.
And there’s a man in Wellington, New Zealand who is completing 25 continuous days
at the top of a 40-foot pole. You might say that’s one way of getting away
from it all.
On to weather. Tomorrow should be fine with about 75 degrees??
(Gina switches off the TV)
GINA: Man, people
sure do stupid things to get into the Guinness Records Book.
PETER: And to get
their name in the news, too, apparently. What a lot of nonsense! By the way, I
got a letter from Aunt Agatha today and she says??
