ACTIVITY 4
Angelina Jolie
Helping other people is what truly motivates Angelina. In 2001, she (said): “We cannot
close ourselves off…and ignore the fact that millions of people are out there suffering.” In
addition to acting awards, she (received) wide recognition for her humanitarian work. She
(became) the first winner of the UN’s Citizen of the World Award. It seems likely more
accolades will follow.
Angelina didn’t (limited) her career to acting. In 2000 she (involved) her humanitarian
work while she was (filmed) in Cambodia. She is now a UN Goodwill Ambassador, she
(visited) refugee camps in poor countries. She was (donated) large sums of money to help the
underprivileged people. She has effectively (used) her stardom to highlight world problems.
Angelina was born in LA in 1976. She (loved) movies and (started) acting classes to
follow her dream of movie stardom. She (was) rebellious and (became) a punk with dyed
purple hair and tattoos. Her movie career (took) off in 1997 and within a few years she (won)
an Oscar. Her 2001 role as Lara Croft in the blockbuster “Tomb Raider”(shot) her to
international fame.
Unfortunately, Jolie’s personal life (came) to overshadow her other pursuits. The tabloids
were (obsessed) with her relationships, especially the one with Brad Pitt. The couple (was)
referred to not as Brad and Angelina but as “Brangelina”. The media seem more (caught) up
with what they (ate) and (drank) than the important humanitarian work Angelina (did).
Cristiano Ronaldo
Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (was) born in 1985. He is widely (regarded) as one of
the best players in the world. The legendary Dutch genius Johan Cruyff (said) he's one of the
best ever. Ronaldo (became) a soccer superstar playing for English team Manchester United,
Spain's Real Madrid and for Portugal. While he was (played) in Midfield, he (was) regularly
scoring spectacular goals.
Ronaldo (started) kicking a ball around when he (was) three. His skill (was) obvious then
and by ten years old, two of Portugal's top clubs (wanted) to sign him. He (joined) Sporting
Lisbon and (became) the only player in their history to play for the Under-16, Under-17,
Under-18, B team and first-team within one season. His skills soon were (attracted) Europe's
big teams.
Manchester United (decided) Ronaldo (was) the perfect replacement for David Beckham
and (signed) him in 2003. While he was (set) the English Premier League alight in his time
there with his silky skills, he (helped) the team win nine trophies, including the UEFA
Champions League. He also (picked) up the FIFA World Player of the Year award in 2008.
In 2009, Ronaldo (joined) his boyhood heroes Real Madrid and (became) the most
expensive footballer in history. His transfer fee (was) over $131 million. He (broke) Real's
scoring record in his second season, with 53 goals in all competitions. In 2012, Diego
Maradona (said) Ronaldo (was) "the best player on the planet."
Princess Diana
Diana and Charles divorced in 1996. While she was fighting with depression, she suffered
from eating disorders for many years. She finally found happiness with an Egyptian film
producer, Dodi Al-Fayed. Their romance was closely followed by the paparazzi, which led to
the fatal car crash that killed her in Paris in 1997. At her funeral, British Prime Minister Tony
Blair called her the “People’s Princess". To many, she was simply the “Queen of Hearts".
Diana was teaching in a kindergarten in London when she caught the interest of Prince
Charles. She won the hearts of a nation with her shy smiles and natural beauty. While she was
getting married, The whole world watched the fairytale royal wedding in 1981. A year later,
she gave birth to Prince William, the first of her two sons.
Lady Diana Spencer was born in 1961. She had a normal, quiet upbringing. It never
prepared her for the fame and glamor of being a British princess. Within a few years, she
changed from being a shy teenager to the most photographed person on the planet. She hit
newspaper headlines around the world, but the biggest one was for her death at the age of 36.
Diana was nervous at first in public, but she soon developed a charming manner. She took
a strong interest in many charities and important causes. She highlighted the suffering of the
homeless, lepers, and AIDS victims. She also campaigned for the abolition of landmines and
many countries prohibited them.
Fernando Botero
While he was living in New York in the 1960s, he found a new inspiration in the Italian
Renaissance. He began to experiment with creating volume in his figures by expanding them
and compressing the space around them. This became his unique and trademark style. In 1997,
Colombian terrorists destroyed his sculpture ‘Bird’ in Medellin. Seventeen people passed away
in the attack.
Botero grew up looking at paintings in his local Catholic church. These were in the
centuries-old Baroque style and influenced his style. He was never rich enough to visit galleries
and see other works. He held his first exhibition when he was 20, in the capital Bogota. He
used the money he received to go to Europe to study art.
Botero’s works now hang in galleries all over the world. He guarantees millions of dollars for
each painting he does. His works instantly become collector’s items and many people buy them
as investments. In 2005, Botero painted a series of 50 paintings that graphically showed the
horror of the events in Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison. This was typical of Botero using art for social
commentary.
Fernando Botero was born in 1932 in Medellin, Colombia. He painted in the neo-figurative
style and called himself "the most Colombian of Colombian artists". He largely painted large
people – figures that were much larger than life in all parts of their body. His critics often call
them “fat people”. Botero didn’t know the reason why he painted such obese forms.

ACTIVITY 5
Siento que debo mejorar mi dedicación al estudio, siendo más constante en la práctica del
inglés.
Esta actividad me proporcionó una valiosa oportunidad para consolidar mis conocimientos
gramaticales en inglés. Al trabajar específicamente con el pasado simple y el pasado
progresivo, pude reforzar mi comprensión de la estructura de las oraciones en este idioma. Esta
actividad contribuyó de manera significativa a mi desarrollo académico al fortalecer mis
habilidades lingüísticas y mi confianza al utilizar el inglés.
Desde esta óptica, aprender un idioma no solo amplía las habilidades comunicativas, sino
que también fortalece la capacidad de adaptación, promueve la empatía al entender diferentes
puntos de vista y fomenta la autodisciplina al embarcarse en un proceso de aprendizaje
continuo. Además, el dominio de un idioma extranjero puede proporcionar nuevas
oportunidades laborales, académicas y sociales, lo que contribuye a la realización personal y
profesional del individuo.
Me sentí desafiada por esta actividad ya que me tocó utilizar mi poco conocimiento en
inglés, pero también me sentí motivada ya que fui capaz de poner en práctica lo que he
aprendido.
