This activity will help learners eliminate problems with these functional words by giving them immediate feedback on the mistakes they are making. It will also help students develop their use of more natural, varied and complex sentence structures.

TIP: Say the sentence out loud. Notice the types of mistake you make often. Focus on those types of errors. (singular/plural, subject-verb agreement, article use, prepositions, gerunds and infinitives, noun clauses, adjective clauses, word order, and word forms.)

Discussion 논의 Questões de discussão Discusión

Morpheus says that “real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain.” Do you agree with that definition of reality? Why or why not?
Describe (or draw? or use A.I. to generate?) what your residual self-image would look like if you entered the Matrix.
Morpheus also says, "Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony."
What does he mean? What is the irony?
The Matrix was released in 1999. Does it hold up, or does it look old? Does the story seem cliché, or does it still seem inventive and profound?
Do you believe our world is real or a simulation? Why?
Can you offer any evidence that our world is real? What is it?
Can you offer any evidence that our world is a simulation? What is it?
A.I. eventually ensalves humanity in the Matrix. Do you think A.I. is heading in the same direction today? Why?

Script 대본 Roteiro Guion

Morpheus: You wanted to know what the Matrix is, Neo? Trinity. Try to relax. This will feel a little weird.

Morpheus: This is the construct. It’s our loading program. We can load anything from clothing, to equipment, weapons, training simulations, anything we need.

Neo: Right now we’re inside a computer program?

Morpheus: Is it really so hard to believe? Your clothes are different. The plugs in your arms and head are gone. Your hair has changed. Your appearance now is what we call residual self image. It is the mental projection of your digital self.

Neo: This... this isn’t real?

Morpheus: What is real? How do you define real? If you’re talking about what you can feel, what you can smell, what you can taste and see, then real is simply electrical signals interpreted by your brain. This is the world that you know. The world as it was at the end of the twentieth century. It exists now only as part of a neural-interactive simulation that we call the Matrix.

Morpheus: You’ve been living in a dream world, Neo. This is the world as it exists today. Welcome to the desert of the real.

Morpheus: We have only bits and pieces of information but what we know for certain is that at some point in the early twenty-first century all of mankind was united in celebration. We marveled at our own magnificence as we gave birth to A.I.

Neo: A.I.? You mean artificial intelligence?

Morpheus: A singular consciousness that spawned an entire race of machines. We don’t know who struck first, us or them. But we know that it was us that scorched the sky. At the time they were dependent on solar power, and it was believed that they would be unable to survive without an energy source as abundant as the sun. Throughout human history, we have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony. The human body generates more bio-electricity than a 120-volt battery and over 25,000 BTUs of body heat. Combined with a form of fusion, the machines have found all the energy they would ever need.

Morpheus: There are fields, endless fields, where human beings are no longer born. We are grown. For the longest time I wouldn’t believe it, and then I saw the fields with my own eyes. Watch them liquefy the dead so they could be fed intravenously to the living. And standing there, facing the pure horrifying precision, I came to realize the obviousness of the truth.

Morpheus: What is the Matrix? Control. The Matrix is a computer generated dream world built to keep us under control in order to change a human being into this.

Neo: No. I don’t believe it. It’s not possible.

Morpheus: I didn’t say it would be easy, Neo. I just said it would be the truth.

Neo: Stop. Let me out. Let me out. I want out.

Trinity: Easy, Neo. Easy.

Neo: Take this thing off me. Take this thing…
