 Assignment 1.1: introduction

 

Wat is het verschil tussen:

-          I have worked for Albeda College for four years.

-          I had worked for Albeda College for four years when I moved to Groningen.

 

 1.1           The Perfect tenses. (voltooide tijden)

 

Voltooide tijden hebben een voltooid deelwoord in het gezegde.

 

Er zijn twee voltooide tijden in het Engels:

a) present perfect (voltooid tegenwoordige tijd) ; hebben we al gehad

b) past perfect (voltooid verleden tijd); nieuw!

 

Wat valt je op aan het verschil in de naamgeving in het Nederlands en in het Engels?

 

Voorbeelden, gebruik en vorm van beide tijden:

 

 

Present Prefect

Past Perfect

Voorbeelden

I have always worked for Albeda College.

He has known Piet Boekhoud for years.

When I arrived the meeting had already started.

He told me that he had never met you before.

Vorm (gezegde)

have/has + voltooid deelwoord:

stam + ed; of

3e kolom onregelmatige werkwoorden

had + voltooid deelwoord:

stam + ed; of

3e kolom onregelmatige werkwoorden

Gebruik bij   

Handelig/toestand die in het verleden begonnen is en nu nog voortduurt

De eerste van twee of meer handelingen uit het verleden.

Let op

Het verschil met de somple past. Hij heeft 2 jaar geleden in R’dam gewoond = He lived in Rotterdam 2 years ago.

 

Gaat bijna hetzelfde als in het Nedrlands.

Assignment 1.2

 

Your lecturer is going to hand out a copy of a brochure called "Going to school in the Netherlands".

Before reading the brochure, let's do a little brainstorming as a warming up exercise

 

a) It's an association game.

"What do you immediately think of when you hear the title of the brochure?" All first thoughts are of course correct!

Write keywords (in English) on the blackboard. You may react to keywords written down by someone else.

 

 b) Discuss and explain the keywords in English.

 c) What do we think the contents (inhoudsopgave) will be? Again in keywords.

 

Your lecturer has handed out a copy of "Going to school in the Netherlands".

 

Read the first (text) page (not the cover) first for yourself and then together.

 d) Who – do you think – this brochure was written for? In other words: "What is the target group?"(= doelgroep)/ What are the target groups?"

 

 Assignment 1.3

 

a) The guide, which starts at the bottom of page one,  is not complete. Page 2 got lost.

Now quickly glance through (snel doorkijken) the whole brochure to complete the guide.

assignment 1.4

With this assignment we practice "asking questions"

 

a) Write down 5 global, simple questions about the Dutch education system.

  

b) Ask these questions to your neighbour. Can he/she answer them in (good) English?

 c) Any difficulties in formulating the (English) questions or answers?

 

 1.5 Let's have a group's discussion about the following statements (= beweringen).

 

The Dutch educational system  ………..

 

1) is not flexible enough

 

 

2) makes the gap (= gat) between "lower class" and "middle class" pupils (= leerlingen)/ students only bigger.

 

 

3) should spend more time on "learning to learn" than on actual knowledge.

 

 

4) should be completely financed by the government.

 

 

5) should be reorganised in such a way that pupils from 12 – ± 20 go to one school/college where they can learn whatever they want (like the English "Comprehensive School" = "midden-school" concept).
