ESTRATEGIAS BÁSICAS DE COMPRENSION DE TEXOS

 

CONECTORES  / CONJUCTION

Hasta el momento, hemos revisado estrategias de comprensión de lectura en las que hemos reconocido cognados, falsos cognados, idea principal e ideas secundarias, información específica, partes de la oración y la función de los afijos.

En este objetivo revisaremos los conectores, los cuales son palabras que nos ayudan a unir oraciones, frases e ideas contenidas en un texto. Los conectores se clasifican de acuerdo a su función.

PARTS OF THE SPEECH

El proceso de comprensión de la lectura es similar tanto en la lengua materna como en la lengua extranjera debido a que en ambos se utiliza la información semántica y contextual. Ahora bien, muchas de las fallas en la comprensión de un texto en lengua extranjera se debe a la falta de claves lingüísticas, de vocabulario o de manejo de estructuras gramaticales, que sin duda facilitarían la relación entre el lector y el texto (Barnett, Marva, 1989; Yang, Leanrui, y Wilson, Kate 2006).

Las oraciones se forman usando palabras que pertenecen a diferentes categorías gramaticales (partes de la oración) dependiendo de su función.

Un elemento relevante es el reconocer las partes que conforman una oración.

En inglés, muchas palabras pueden funcionar como varias partes de la oración.

 

 

 

 

 

Podemos distinguir 8 partes de la oración:

1. NOUN

2. PRONOUN

3. VERB

4. ADJECTIVE

5. ADVERB

6. CONJUCTION

7. PREPOSITION

8. INTERJECTION

 

 

 

 

NOUN - (Naming word)

A noun is the name of a person, place, thing or idea.

Examples of nouns: Daniel, London, table, dog, teacher, pen, city, happiness, hope

Example sentences: Steve lives in Sydney. Mary uses pen and paper to write letters.

PRONOUN - (Replaces a Noun)

A pronoun is used in place of a noun or noun phrase to avoid repetition.

Examples of pronouns: I, you, we, they, he, she, it, me, us, them, him, her, this, those

Example sentences: Mary is tired. She wants to sleep. I want her to dance with me.

ADJECTIVE - (Describing word)

An adjective describes, modifies or gives more information about a noun or pronoun.

Examples: big, happy, green, young, fun, crazy, three

Example sentences: The little girl had a pink hat.

VERB - (Action Word)

A verb shows an action or state of being. A verb shows what someone or something is doing.

Example sentences: I like Woodward English. I study their charts and play their games.

ADVERB - (Describes a verb)

Examples: slowly, quietly, very, always, never, too, well, tomorrow, here

Example sentences: I am usually busy. Yesterday, I ate my lunch quickly.

PREPOSITION - (Shows relationship)

A preposition shows the relationship of a noun or pronoun to another word. They can indicate time, place, or relationship.

Examples: at, on, in, from, with, near, between, about, under

Example sentences: I left my keys on the table for you.

CONJUNCTION - (Joining word)

A conjunction joins two words, ideas, phrases or clauses together in a sentence and shows how they are connected.

Examples: and, or, but, because, so, yet, unless, since, if.

Example sentences: I was hot and exhausted but I still finished the marathon.

INTERJECTION - (Expressive word)

An interjection is a word or phrase that expresses a strong feeling or emotion. It is a short exclamation.

It may be a status symbol, BUT   carrying a mobile phone makes you fat and is helping to fuel an EXPLOSION   in obesity. Dr Andrew Prentice, a NUTRICIONAL   expert has warned. A mobile phone robs a person of 16 kilometres a year of walking, Dr Prentice TOLD   the British  association of Science, at Leeds University, England.

HE   added that, in conbinatio with all the other aspects of a lazy modern lifestyle such as TV ‘zappers’, powersteering, escalators and lifts, the mobile Phone was at least PARTLY   to blame for the ‘starting’ increase in the number of people who have become grossly overweight. DURING   this century the average weight of adults in Britain has increased by almost 10 kilograms, and the number of officially bese people has more than doubled since 1980, Dr Prentice said. YET   ! another warning that these wonderful devices also have their disadvantages.

Types of Computers.

There are a lot of terms used to describe computers. Most of these words imply the size, expected use or capability of the computer. While the term computer can apply to virtually any device that has a microprocessor in it, most people think of a computer as a device that receives input from the user through a mouse or keyboard, processes it in some fashion and displays the result on a screen. 

1. PC.  The personal computer (PC) defines a computer designed for general use by a single person. While a Mac is a PC, most people relate the term with systems that run the Windows operating system. PCs were first known as microcomputers because they were a complete computer but built on a smaller scale than the huge systems in use by most businesses. 

2. Desktop.  A PC that is not designed for portability is a desktop computer. The expectation with desktop systems is that you will set the computer up in a permanent 11 location. Most desktops offer more power, storage and versatility for less cost than their portable brethren. 

3. Laptop. Also called notebooks, laptops are portable computers that integrate the display, keyboard, a pointing device or trackball, processor, memory and hard drive all in a battery-operated package slightly larger than an average hardcover book. 

4. PDA.  Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are tightly integrated computers that often use flash memory instead of a hard drive for storage. These computers usually do not have keyboards but rely on touch screen technology for user input. PDAs are typically smaller than a paperback novel, very lightweight with a reasonable battery life. A slightly larger and heavier version of the PDA is the handheld computer. 

5. Workstation. The fifth type of computer is a workstation. A workstation is simply a desktop computer that has a more powerful processor, additional memory and enhanced capabilities for performing a special group of task, such as 3D Graphics or game development. Adapted from.
