List some English false friends for speakers of another language. What do they mean in English? What does the equivalent word mean in the other language?
carpet ---alfombra no carpeta-- folder
casuality --- víctima no casualidad --- coincidence
diagust----- asco no disgustado----- worry

Which of the two statements below do you agree with most? Why?
a. Students can decide for themselves which words they would like to learn.
b. It’s the teacher’s job to decide which words students need to learn.
I agree with both because finally students decide wich words use in their contest, in their real life, they make tthe conection with the idiom, the teacher is a guide in this process and we can choose some basic or useful words but we need know ower students for help them to learn.
