Cómo hacer una lluvia de ideas
How to Brainstorm
Piensa en lo que le pasa a un cuerpo cuando un carro frena de repente o choca. El carro se detiene, pero las personas adentro siguen moviéndose hacia adelante a la velocidad que iba el carro. Algunos ángulos para considerar:
Think about what happens to a body when a car suddenly stops or crashes. The car stops, but the people inside keep moving forward at the speed the car was going. A few angles to consider:
-
¿Qué hace realmente un cinturón de seguridad? (Te mantiene contra el asiento.)
What does a seatbelt actually do physically? (It holds you back against the seat.)
-
¿Qué pasaría sin uno? (Serías lanzado hacia adelante contra el parabrisas, el tablero, o fuera del carro.)
What would happen without one? (You'd be thrown forward into the windshield, dashboard, or out of the car.)
-
¿Por qué "restrain" es la palabra perfecta para esto? (Un cinturón de seguridad detiene el movimiento - exactamente lo que significa restrain.)
Why is "restrain" the perfect word for this? (A seatbelt holds back motion - exactly what restrain means.)
Respuesta de ejemploExample response
modelLos cinturones de seguridad son importantes porque restrain a los pasajeros para que no salgan disparados hacia adelante durante una frenada repentina o un choque. Sin estos restraints, incluso un accidente a baja velocidad podría lanzar a una persona contra el parabrisas o fuera del carro. Los restraints salvan vidas al mantener a los pasajeros seguros en sus asientos para que las demás características de seguridad del carro, como las bolsas de aire, puedan hacer su trabajo.Seatbelts are important because they restrain passengers from being thrown forward during a sudden stop or crash. Without these restraints, even a low-speed accident could throw a person into the windshield or out of the car. Restraints save lives by keeping passengers safely in their seats so the rest of the car's safety features, like airbags, can do their job.
your turnEscribe tus propias 2 - 4 oraciones. Trata de usar tanto restrain (el verbo) como restraints (el sustantivo) al menos una vez.Write your own 2 - 4 sentences. Try to use both restrain (the verb) and restraints (the noun) at least once.
Qué hace una buena respuesta
What Makes a Strong Answer
Una buena respuesta va a: (1) explicar qué hace físicamente un cinturón de seguridad, (2) describir qué podría salir mal sin uno, y (3) usar tanto restrain como restraint de manera natural.
A strong response will: (1) explain what a seatbelt physically does, (2) describe what could go wrong without one, and (3) use both restrain and restraint naturally.
