SOME STUDENTS INVESTIGATE

Some students of the INSTITUCION EDUCATIVA LOS FUNDADORES have been motivated to investigate a little more about the ceramic of the region. It was a topic worked in class with the english teacher with the purpose of knowing the context and who showed this as an ancestral, economic and cultural activity. 

Pottery has been the center of domestic activites in some particular communities as Portachuelo. Mud was an element that the indigenous utilized for doing many figures as pots, lamps,pans, plates, casseroles, callanas, etc. In past time, a mine of mud was discovered in the place mentioned above, it is located in one of the four indigenous reservations of Riosucio Caldas. It is Cañamomo and Lomaprieta.

Here we can find to XIMENA TREJOS PINEDA and JUAN FELIPE RESTREPO, smart and dedicated students of eleventh grade, asking about the Mud's process and visiting the special place where all the pottery elements are carried to sell in the market every weekend.

FABLE THE HARE AND THE TORTOISE

The hare and the tortoise

Tortoise one day met a hare who made fun of her. "My, my, you move so slowly, you will never get far!" The tortoises, upset by the hare's manner, said, "Let's have a race and see who is faster." The hare laughed and said, "You must be joking! But all right, we'll see who reaches the other side of the hill first." Off he ran, leaving the tortoise far behind. After a while, the hare stopped to wait for the tortoise to come long. He waited and waited till he felt sleepy. "I might as well take a nap," he thought. "Even if she catches up with me, I can easily win the race." So he lay down under a shady tree and closed his eyes. When the tortoise passed the sleeping hare, she walked on slowly but steadily. By the time the hare woke up, the tortoise was near the finishing line. He ran as fast as he could, but he could not catch up with the tortoise.

Ej: come = coming. 2) Se suele emplear contrayendo el sujeto y el verbo to be. Ej: I am coming => I'm coming, you are making => you're making. 3) En la forma negativa se pueden contraer, bien el sujeto y el verbo, bien el verbo y la negación.

Se ha podido interrumpir momentáneamente. Ej: They are playing tennis 3.- Para acciones futuras. En este caso debe llevar una frase adverbial de tiempo.

Para los tiempos pasado y futuro progresivos o continuos solo se reemplazara el auxiliar to be y el resto de las estructuras quedaran  igual.
