During the summer break I usually travel somewhere with my family.Explicación: Al parecer es un tema relacionado a los homófonos (Son palabras que suenan exactamente igual (en este caso, en inglés), pero su significado y uso son diferentes). 1. Principal es el director/directora de una institución. Principle significa norma. 2. Ate es el pasado del verbo "eat" (comer). Eight es el número 8. 3. Cereal es un alimento del desayuno. Serial significa algo que se repite. 4. Stationary es algo fijo o inmóvil. Stationery son los materiales de papelería. 5. Affect es un verbo que significa influir o afectar. Effect es un sustantivo que se refiere al resultado. 6. Brake es un freno. Incluso, (según el contexto) se puede referir al verbo “frenar”. Break es un descanso o pausa. Pasa lo mismo, se puede referir al verbo “romper”.
