del artículo the.

que puede ir seguido o no de sustantivo:
Whose Whose key is this?
Whose are these?
3.3. Present continuous (meaning future)
Se utiliza el presente continuo para hablar de algo que se está haciendo o que está
ocurriendo ahora, pero también para expresar futuro.
Presente Am
Is + -ing
Are
I’m working now.
Futuro You’re not working tomorrow.
El presente continuo para hablar de futuro se utiliza cuando se quiere expresar que
algo está en los planes de alguien, es decir, que alguna cosa está prevista.
Sin embargo, en horarios de trenes o autobuses, programas de espectáculos, etc.
se utiliza el presente simple.
Inglés para profesionales de la comunicación I
UNIT 3 – Pay attention to...
También se puede utilizar be + going to para hablar sobre planes futuros.
Ej.: I’m going to go to the cinema tonight.

Se utiliza el pasado continuo para describir una acción que se estaba
desarrollando en un momento concreto del pasado; también se utiliza para
describir la primera escena de una historia.
Se diferencia del pasado simple porque éste se utiliza para referirse a una acción
que empezó y terminó en el pasado.
Una acción en este tiempo verbal (past continuous) puede ser interrumpida
por otra acción que se expresará en simple past.
Por ejemplo: I was having a shower when the telephone rang.

The digital revolution (from BBC)
What is Digital Revolution?
Digital Revolution (working title) is an open source documentary, due for transmission
on BBC Two in 2010, that will take stock of 20 years of change brought about by the
World Wide Web.
Why 'working title'?
The production is a work in progress; the website is a work in progress; even the name
is a work in progress, and will change before the series is transmitted as a final product
for TV. Trust me when I tell you that no small amount of anguish and wailing has
already gone into attempting to name the series, and when the time's right, we'll share
that anguish and ask you for your ideas for the title; but for now we're going with
Digital Revolution.
Open source documentary - what do you mean by that?
This is open source with lower case o and s. We're making a documentary about the
web and we figure it would be foolish to attempt this without engaging the web itself:
its active community of contributors (and detractors).
That would be Time's person of the year 2006: YOU
It is our ambition to open up the production process as much as possible; to share as
much of our thinking as possible, as the production team strive to create a cohesive,
accurate and relevant documentary about the World Wide Web. We'll be blogging as we
go; we'll share our theories; we'll be putting up rushes from the filming; we'll be asking
for advice and stories from you as we go along.
Basically, we want you to get involved.
Inglés para profesionales de la comunicación I
UNIT 3 – + Information
Why should I?
The BBC intends to tell the story of the web in four one-hour programmes on BBC Two.
This story will reach a wide audience, an audience who may not necessarily have
thought very deeply about this modern phenomenon beyond email and YouTube. We're
telling the story and we want to get it right. It's a unique opportunity for collaboration
between the production and the web; how much you engage with this process is up to
you.
What do you want from us?
Stories.
Stories of the web's development and the phenomenal changes it has brought to the
world. If Jay Rosen is right in the video below, and the web is people - people
connected by computers, then to find out anything about the web we need to engage
with people to tell its stories.
Once again, we're back with you.
The content on this blog is meant to open up debate - debate with you. Tell us where
we're getting it right about the big issues, and - more importantly - tell us when you
think we're wrong.
But, let's remember to play nice! We're all learning here, and if you feel you have
something you'd like to add, please resist the temptation to shoot us down with a hail of
flaming invective (and we'll resist the urge to become hurt, defensive and pouty).
Our ideas aren't fully formed but are in progress and we would love constructive
feedback from you, including examples, stories, pictures, links, videos, tweets and
illustrations that you think would make the point better.
How can I get involved?
This blog is the hub of our activities, and the best place to comment and share
information, but we're also across a number of platforms. We're on Twitter as
@BBCDigRev. We're sharing our online research on delicious.
Inglés para profesionales de la comunicación I
UNIT 3 – + Information
There are also activities across the web answering the question 'The web is...?' including
YouTube/thewebis and a The Web is Flickr group.
What's the process?
The production has several stages; likewise the shape of our interactivity will take
different forms as we progress.
1 - Pre-production
We've been in early development for some time, but as of 10th July the production
launches proper. The director and production team for programme one start Monday
13 July, and from that point onwards we will be blogging the production's current story
and thinking. We'll also feature guest bloggers, who we hope will stir things up, add
another angle to the debate, get us all thinking harder.
At this stage, your input, your comments, and your links will be read by the production
team and will shape the direction the story takes. And everything will be part of our
online interactive documentary that launches alongside programme transmission.
2- Filming
Once the production teams are in the field there will be less debate around scripts and
stories, as the business of collecting the content will be led by the scripts written earlier
in the process. The team will be on location and will be sharing their discoveries and
sending back their rushes, which will be placed onto the blog asap to give you the fast
track line to our interviews as they are recorded. We'll also be on twitter from locations,
asking for anything from extra questions for our contributors, to the best spots to get a
good shot of Silicon Valley, to where to lay our lips upon the life-giving froth of the best
cappuccino in town.
3 - The edit
Come November the majority of the material for the programmes will have been
collected and the serious business of editing the many hours of footage into cohesive
one hour pieces begins. At this point, we'll be inviting you to comment on the direction
we're taking and also to have a full and frank discussion about the series title.
Inglés para profesionales de la comunicación I
UNIT 3 – + Information
4 - The series transmits
In early 2010 the four programmes will air on BBC Two. We'll post shortform clips
from the series that link off to all the comments, debate and discussion on the blog and
elsewhere around the web.
Who are you? Who's doing the talking here?
The production teams are still being recruited and we will add to this list of players as
they come on board, but for now, we are:
Aleks Krotoski (presenter)
Aleks Krotoski is an academic and journalist who writes about and studies technology
and interactivity. She is on the final push to complete her PhD thesis in Social
Psychology at the University of Surrey at the end of 2009, examining how information
spreads around the social networks of the World Wide Web. Aleks also writes a column
for The Guardian newspaper, and hosts Tech Weekly, their technology podcast. She
blogs on the Guardian Unlimited network, and maintains several of her own blogs on
topics that range from her academic work to a proto-interest in Americana and country

Woodward and Bernstein: the Watergate
On June 18, 1972, a Washington Post front page story reported the previous day's break-in at the
Democratic National Committee's office in the Watergate complex in Washington, DC. Five men were
arrested while attempting to photograph documents and place bugging devices in the offices. The
White House dismissed the crime as a "third-rate burglary," and much of the nation's media soon
dropped interest in what some jokingly referred to as "the Watergate caper." But two of the reporters
who worked on that first Washington Post story, Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, continued
tracking down sources and pursuing leads on what became the biggest story of twentieth-century
American politics.
Robert Woodward, born March 26, 1943, in Geneva, Illinois, was raised in nearby Wheaton. The
son of a Republican lawyer and judge, Woodward attended Yale University on an ROTC scholarship,
graduating with a BA in History and English in 1965. He then served as a communications officer in
the US Navy from 1965 to 1970. After leaving the service, he contemplated attending law school, but
then decided to seek reporting jobs with The Washington Post or The New York Times. Turned down
for a lack of experience, he spent a year as a reporter for the Montgomery County Sentinel in
Maryland before getting a position at The Washington Post in 1971. At the time of the Watergate
break-in, Woodward had been at the Post less than nine months and had worked as a reporter for less
than two years.
Carl Bernstein was born February 14, 1944, in Washington, DC, and raised in nearby Silver Spring,
Maryland. His parents were social activists and members of the American Communist Party. He began
working as a copy boy at The Washington Evening Star at age sixteen, and after finishing high school
attended classes part-time at the University of Maryland. He eventually began contributing stories at
the Star and in 1965 moved to New York City to work as a reporter at the Elizabeth Daily Journal in
New Jersey. After one year at the Journal, Bernstein returned to Washington, DC, and took a reporter
position at The Washington Post.
At first the two reporters worked independent of one another. Woodward discovered that one of the
burglars, James McCord, Jr., was a former CIA employee, recently employed as a security coordinator
for the Committee for the Re-election of President Nixon (CRP). He also tracked a phone number in
one of the burglar's address book to White House consultant Howard Hunt. Bernstein was able to
confirm the burglar's calls to Hunt through telephone records, and also traced a check in one of the
burglars' bank accounts to the CRP. With support and guidance from Post editors Barry Sussman,
Harry Rosenfeld, Howard Simons, and executive editor Ben Bradlee, Woodward and Bernstein
combined their efforts to further explain the break-in, seeking information from hundreds of
administration officials, campaign workers, White House staffers, and other sources.
