INTRODUCCIÓN (WARM UP)

Watch the following video https://madridingles.net/phrasal-verbs-turn/

¿QUÉ VOY A APRENDER? (PRESENTATION)

The meaning of turn is 'girar', 'dar la vuelta' or 'darse la vuelta´

By adding different prepositions to the verb form turn we get to express other meanings than the literal one.

For example:

     When the movie is over, turn off the lights –

The phrasal verb turn is part of the group of separable verbs, that is, we can put a word between the verb and the preposition.

 Turn the lights on - Enciende las luces

As we see, the object of the verb in this case is expressed between the verb and the preposition. It is equally correct to say it this way:

 Turn on the lights - Enciende las luces

• turn on – encender                                                        turn into – volverse, transformarse
•  turn over – girar algo plano como una tortilla               turn up – subir el volumen

STOP YOUR CHILD TURNING INTO A COMPUTER JUNKIE

It´s a warm summer´s day in the school holidays but the children are not out playing, they are in a darkened room, glue to the TV set, zapping aliens on their Nintendos or surfing the Internet.

As their friends ride their bikes, go swimming, play football and walk the dog, the only games your children play are those on the computer, and their only pet is the mouse.

For thousands of children the computer and the TV now dominate their lives, turning them into electronic junkies with virtual childhoods where real relationships are replaced by artificial ones.

Many children, too, begin their viewing early and finish late. Programmes designed to entertain young viewers begin in the early morning, so parents may still be in bed when their children are already up and channel hopping. According to an American study for the U.S National Institute of Education, ten hours TV watching a week is a healthy level and any more than that results in under performance at school and an unhealthy lifestyle.

Now, with the number of junior junkies growing dramatically, comes the first book aimed at weaning kids off their electronic addiction through a rigorous four-week programme.

Joan Anderson, author of Getting Unplugged (Jhon Wiley), says that children who watch too much television from an early age have difficulty concentrating, do less well at school, are less active and find it difficult to form relationships because they spend so much of their time in an imaginary world.
