TODAY IN CLASS:  
-Comentario sobre los writings que me han enviado y que he corregido: Usamos ever y never en inglés, en las preguntas y negaciones. Las palabras ever y never se usan para hablar de las frecuencias de las actividades y, como en otros casos (some y any, por ejemplo), elegimos una u otra dependiendo del tipo de frase :
>Never = nunca – se usa para negar.
>Ever = alguna vez – se usa para preguntar.
No hay realmente una versión afirmativa. Para dar una idea positiva de la frecuencia, usaríamos un adverbio de frecuencia (always, sometimes, often,...)

E-mail is such a (0) PAINLESS way to write letters. I´ve never found it easy to

PAIN
put pen to paper, not even to say “thank you” for presents sent by (1) THOUGHTFUL

THOUGHT
relatives. They must have thought I was so (2) UNGRATEFUL.

GRATITUDE
Now there´s no stopping me! I type away (3) ENDLESSLY on my computer, all types of messages

END
to all types of people. E-mail has all the benefits of a word  (4) PROCESSOR and

PROCESS
none of the tedious (5) DISADVANTAGES of writing by hand. It´s better than the letter

ADVANTAGE
because you can edit it, quickly and (6) EFFORTLESSLY, and it´s instant like the phone

EFFORT
but without the need to talk! And sending and e-mail is so (7) WONDERFULLY fast: just

WONDER
press the button and it´s gone. By contrast, the Web is (8) EXTREMELY overrated(=sobreestimado)

EXTREME
and sometimes so slow that it´s (9) IMPRACTICAL. What´s more, Web sites are not 

PRACTICAL
updated and a lot of the information is (10) USELESS. I think it´s a joke in that respect – and not a very good one.
