What I learned about UNIT 8?

The topic of this unit was Inventions and Technology. In this new unit I learned to discuss a new product using new vocabulary like: High-tech, State-of-the-art, cutting-edge, high-end, top-of-the-line, first-rate, innovative, revolutionary and novel. Also, I learned to use Conditionals, it was a topic that we checked in the last semester it is very difficult, so we did a lot of exercises and we took some quizzes in class. I learned the use of Wish in clauses and Unless. The teacher said that I had to participate in the collaborative writing project. In wich I had to wrote about : "How our lives would have been different if we had lived in a past time period". With my team we wrote about life in England during the 19th century we had to investigate a lot information to do this project but at the end it was finished in a good way because we work together to did the project. The teacher gave us some tasks to complete in wich we had to write some paragraphs to answer some questions, also we made a conversation to describe an electronic product. I wrote a short description for an object that I wanted to invent in which I wrote about: What would happen if I had my invention now?, What could I have done if I had had my invention in the past?; so, my invention was "An umbrella light". Finally, I think that I can use all the information about this unit to talk about unreal and real situations. I believe that is very important to know how we should describe some products until to buy or use them. Now, I am able to discuss some topics like: the impact of key inventions in history (the wheel, the automobile and the printing press). This unit had a lot difficult topics in class we worked hard to learn it. Bibliography: Top Notch 3; English for today's world. Joan Saslow, Allen Ascher.
