UNIT TWO: YESTERDAY During this unit you are supposed to: Practice to be and other regular and irregular verbs in simple past Tell stories and events in past tense Develop listening skills Provide speaking and writing information

ACTIVITY ONE: General Reading THE INCA CIVILIZATION A

Look the pictures and answer 1.- Where are these buildings ? 2.- When were they build? 3.- What historical places have you visited? In the 1920s work began on building the Pan American Highway to connect the

countries of Peru, Bolivia and Chile in the west of Latin America. The road started in Lima in the north of Peru and then went across the Nazca Desert before reaching Bolivia an Chile. The only civilization which lived in the Nazca Desert was the ancient Inca Indians, over 2000 years ago.

The government of Peru ordered three

airplanes

for the road builders to use in

planning the new highway. It was difficult to plan the road across the desert and the road builders thought to plan the route from the air. One of the builders was flying at 3000 meters over part of the new highway when he noticed something very strange. There was a pattern of straight lines in the desert. He

asked the pilot to take the plane higher and fly over the center of the Nazca Desert. As they were crossing the desert at 6000 meters the pilot and his friend were surprised..

Texto Básico

Inglés II

Dra. Fanny Zambrano MSc. Adriana Cundar

What they saw was a geometric pattern of more than 13.000 straight lines. The lines looked like a big compass. But what was more, the ancient Inca lines were decorated with animals (fish, insects, birds) and Inca soldiers. The animals and soldiers were made from lines in the sand or enormous rocks. From the ground it was not possible to see the pattern that the lines and rocks made. But at 6000 meters in the air it was very clear. Scientists began to take photographs of the desert and investigate the strange lines. They discovered that the Inca lines made a perfect astronomical calendar which showed E

the position of the sun, the moon and the stars at different times of the year. Scientists thought that the ancient Incas used to consult the astronomical calendar to help the farmers decide the best times of the year to plant their products. But nobody knew the exact significance of the patterns of animals and soldiers. In 1970s an American pilot was visiting the Nazca Desert when he noticed something else. At the ends of some of the lines were deep holes in the ground. He thought they

were a type of oven. He also found some ancient drawings which looked like hot-air balloons. His theory was that the ‘ovens’ had been made to fire hot air into the balloons. He believed that the ancient Incas also used to see their astronomical calendar from the air, in hot-air balloons. Maybe the animals were just a decoration on the incredible astronomical calendar. Maybe nobody has discovered all the truth.

TIP: AFTER YOU READ A TEXT, GO BACK AND LOOK AT IT AGAIN IN DETAIL. LOOK CAREFULLY AT THE VERB TENSES USED AND CHECK THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHY A PARTICULAR VERB TENSE HAS BEEN USED. EXAMPLE: IN THE 1920S WORK BEGAN ON BUILDING THE PAN AMERICAN HIGHWAY IN THIS CASE THE TENSE IS PAST

Famous People A short Biography of Alfred Bernhard Nobel

Alfred Bernhard Nobel was born in 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden. When he was a young man, his father invented a submarine and then he started to manufacture explosives. Nobel became obsessed with explosives and during one of his experiments, his factory blew up and his brother died in the accident. Despite this, Nobel continued experimenting and invented a much safer explosive, which he called “dynamite”. This was used for blasting through rock.

Dra. Fanny Zambrano MSc. Adriana Cundar

He also invented another explosive, which was used for shooting bullets out of guns. In few years, Nobel became one of the world’s richest men. In 1896 Nobel died a very wealthy, but sad man. He had few friends, and many people thought of him as a man who manufactured destruction. He hoped that terrible weapons would prevent war, because nobody would use them. He was wrong. In his desire to apologize , he started a fund of over 9 million dollars to give prizes (NOBEL PRIZES) in five fields: Literature, Physics, Chemistry, Physiology, Medicine and Peace. In 1969 a sixth prize for Economics was added. The Nobel Prizes have become the highest award anyone can receive . 2.- Answer these questions about the text. 1.

The purpose of your immune system is to defend your body against infections and diseases. Bacteria or viruses can attack your body by several routes. They can be floating in the air you breathe. They may enter through a cut in your skin or mucous membranes. They may also arrive in contaminated food or water.

The parts of your body which compose the immune system include the thymus gland, which is at the bottom of your neck behind your breast bone. This is the site of formation of white blood cells and antibody production. The morrow inside your bones is also important, because it helps to make white blood cells. You also have lymph nodes in various places in your body and these help you to get rid of bacteria and also make antibodies. Your spleen, which is situated in the upper left abdominal cavity, helps to keep your blood clean and produces antibodies. Lastly your tonsils, lumps of tissue forming a ring around the walls of the throat, also help to protect you against infections. Your immune system works as an army of antibodies. Your organism can produce thousands of different kinds of antibodies against each kind of virus or bacterium. When viruses enter the body, the white blood cells, also called lymphocytes form antibodies. These antibodies are connected to the surface of the white blood cells. The white blood cells grow and divide into more cells. The antibodies attack the dangerous viruses. They are captured and made them inoffensive so that can be eaten by the white blood cells. This process can cure you of a common cold in a week or so. It can cure you of more serious diseases. However, if your immune system is damaged in some way, your body has no way to defend itself against even the most trivial illness. 2.- Answer the questions from the reading 1. what is the purpose

The doctor from the laboratory informed me that I was HIV positive. When I received this news I was shocked I didn’t know what to say or what to do. Later I started to panic, I was so angry and then I started to cry, I was very confused I thought it was not worth living. I became very depressed. At first I didn’t know how I became infected. I had no idea. I never used drugs I wasn’t a promiscuous person. I had slept only with one man. Jorge my husband. When I told him, he eventually confessed that he had been with a prostitute some years before we got married and that he has found out that she died some years later, he was scared to tell me. B

We both accepted little by little our reality. Many people who are HIV positive can live a healthy life for many years. At the moment we are not sick. We learnt to live day by day and to value life and have sympathy for other people like us who are infected and have terrible symptoms. People with HIV need understanding and support. A lot o people don’t know how to treat us and they reject us. Most of the people with AIDS die alone, hidden away, they are kept in secret. The Health Authorities should inform people correctly and help us to live as normal and comfortable as possible. 3.- Answer the questions from the reading

ACTIVITY ONE: General Reading PEOPLE IN LATIN AMERICA

The “WILD CAT” is really interesting.

Another happy ending “Maria la del Barrio”

There are literature books for only 5 dollars ”

Before reading, answer these questions in full: Who is Gabriel García Márquez? What are his most famous books? What kind of books do you read? How often do you read? What is a SOAP OPERA or TV. SOAP? Do you like TV?

Texto Básico Inglés II

Dra. Fanny Zambrano MSc. Adriana Cundar

How many hours a day do you watch TV? What is your favorite TV program? Gabriel García Márquez, has written a lot of books, his books have been all over the world, he won

a Nobel Prize for his book “ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF

SOLITUDE”, he has written about love, society and education. Here the results of his comments about literature, education and TV. The famous Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez, was once asked in a television interview:

“Do you think your books have influenced people’s opinions in Latin

America?” His absolute answer was “NO”, for a very simple reason, because not

many people read his books in Latin America. Márquez said that the way to influence people is through television, not through literature, because nearly everyone watches television but very few people read literature- He said that if he really wanted to influence the way people think, he should write a script - text for a film, movie or program – for a television soap opera. Then, he thought, he can reach tens of millions of people, rather than tens of thousands.

Márquez hasn’t been the first person to realize the powerful influence of TV soaps. The idea of soap operas was invented by advertisers in the United States of America. If we look back to the 1950s we can understand the origin of the phrase “soap opera” or “TV” soap. In the United States in the 1950s big businesses began to realize the

importance of television advertising. At that time there wasn’t many programs on television in the afternoons.

The soap powder manufacturers

thought that the

afternoons were a good time to advertise their soap powders to American housewives, so large soap companies paid people to write short, simple, ten minute dramas. It was important that these short dramas had a continuing story so that the housewives

turn on the television each afternoon to see the next episode. Of course, in the middle of the drama there was an advertisement for soap powder. So these afternoon dramas with a continuing story and familiar characters started to be called “soap operas”.

Since then TV soaps have become longer, more complex and much more expensive to make.

In the last forty years they have one of the most popular types of TV

entertainment.

MSc. Adriana Cundar

ACTIVITY THREE: GRAMMAR CHECK. 1.- PRESENT PERFECT TENSE Present Perfect connects the past and the present. It refers to a past action, but we are more interested in the present effects or results of the action., also, to give people some new information. Form the present perfect tense with have or has and the past participle of the main verb as in the example I have worked You have worked He has worked She has worked It has worked We have worked You have worked They have worked NOTE: Present perfect tense sentences usually don’t mention exact times of actions. The simple past tense is most often used to mention or imply an exact time of an action. a.- Change the sentences in simple past to present perfect as in the example: -

She ate a delicious pie at home

She has eaten a delicious pie at home

We finished all our homework------------------------------------------------------------

She saw that movie three times-----------------------------------------------------------

I told Ed what you said--------------------------------------------------------------------

They made the same mistake several times---------------------------------------------

b.- Present perfect tense in negatives and questions Form negative with present perfect by placing not after have or has. The contractions haven’t an hasn’t are generally used. Form questions with these perfect tenses by placing have (has) before the subject. Example: -

She has visited North America She hasn’t visited North America Has she visited North America? They have been married a long time They haven’t been married a long time Have they been married a long time?

c.- Change the following sentences from affirmative to negative and interrogative. Use both the full form and the contracted form. -

TOM’S STORY

I had a difficult experience where I have learnt a lot and has changed all my life. One day at school I stood up when and started to shout and I fell on the floor, my mouth was opened and all my muscles were really straight . Some friends tried to help me and the teacher called an ambulance. That’s what people have told me but I can’t remember any of it. I was in hospital for a couple of months. Doctors have done a lot of tests and they have discovered that I was really sick. Now I have to take ten tablets everyday, five in the morning, five at night. The last attack I had was two or three months ago. However, the tablets I have taken during these months now stop me from having a full attack. Now I just go pale and I don’t know where I am for few minutes. The doctors have told me not to stay on the computer for more than an hour and I can not play some computer games. At school, people don’t want to sit next to me because they think I am different. As I have grown I’ve become more apart from everyone because I don’t want them to see me having an attack and some partners in my class call me “druggie” since I take a lot of tablets. Now I know more about my sickness which is an abrupt change of brain function where people lose their conscious for a period of time. Living with epilepsy sometimes can be very difficult but now I just take it easy, I try to live and enjoy everyday. 2.- Answer the questions in full •

Also she has a broken leg, she needs a surgery to correct her femur bone. My poor friend has wounds all over her body specially on her arms and head.

ACTIVITY ONE: General Reading MEN AND WOMEN TALK ALL OVER THE WORLD

1.- What are typical activities women do? 2.- What are typical activities men do? 3.- Are men and women different? Why?

Texto Básico Inglés II

Dra. Fanny Zambrano MSc. Adriana Cundar

Marriage often is not easy. Love often is not easy. Sometimes friendship between a man and a woman is not easy. Probably a man and a woman love or like each other, but they argue. They get angry. Later they apologize, say “I’m sorry” and they have problems again and again. What’s the problem? Are men and women really very different? Deborah Philips says yes. Men and women have been very different all the time. Philips teaches at Georgetown University. She has written books about the way people talk. She believes that men and women talk and think in different ways. She explains about some of these differences in her book YOU JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND. The differences, according Philips are physical and also psychological . For example men are stronger than women, they can run faster, they are taller than women, they D

speak louder than women and even they drive better than women;

they like darker

colors. Women on the contrary, are shorter than men, are weaker than men and also people think that women are more talkative than men; women like brighter colors and most of the time they develop different activities. The distinction Philips says, begins when men and women are children. Very young

boys and girls are similar to each other. In other words, they like the same things and play in the same ways. They aren’t very different. But there is a clear phase where the there are changes. When children in the United States are five or six years old, boys usually play in large groups,

one boy gives orders. He is more important than the other members of the

band. For example he says: “take this”, “go over there”, and “be on this team”. He is the leader. Boys also brag. In other words, they say good things about themselves. They do this to have a higher position than the other friends. Position in the group is important to boys.

HIGH POSITION F LOW POSITION

Texto Básico

Inglés II

Dra. Fanny Zambrano MSc. Adriana Cundar

Girls in the United States usually play in small groups or with one other girl. A girl’s “best friend”, her very, very good friend, is important to her. Girls don’t often give orders, they give suggestions. For example, they say “let’s go over there”, perhaps “we should do this”, and “do you want to pay with that?”. Girls don’t usually have a leader, and they don’t often brag. Everyone has an equal position.

EQUAL POSITION

Little boys are usually active; they do things. Much of the time, little girls sit together and talk. When children grow up, nothing really changes. Men usually do things together. Or they talk about activities such as sports and things such as cars and world problem. They talk to give or get information. But for women, people and feelings are more important. Women often talk to show interest and love. Although a man and a woman speak the same language, sometimes they don’t understand each other. Men’s and women’s objectives and goals are two different worlds.

But maybe men and women can learn to understand each other if they

understand the differences they have between each other.

For women older than 45 hysterectomy is not a problem since they have stopped their fertile period but for those who are young the problem is much bigger and has more implications. Scientists have discovered a new procedure to avoid hysterectomy called TRANSERVICAL RESECTION OF THE ENDOMETRIUM ( TCRE 1 ), is a less drastic alternative, the hypothesis that the number of women who after require surgery is no more than 15%, also, 202 women with symptomatic menorrhagia were observed for six months after a TCRE procedure and they showed physical, psychological and social acceptance. TCRE is then an acceptable alternative to hysterectomy in the treatment of menorrhagia for many women with no other serious disorders but unfortunately, hysterectomy is still the most common surgical solution for patients specially in Latin American countries. But what does TCRE imply? Is one of the newest endometrial treatment with electro surgery, laser or other forms of thermal energy in the management of abnormal uterine bleeding of benign aetiology. 1 Magos AL.

All over the world there are lots of children who live in absolutely poverty, they work to support their families and most of them don’t go to school but worst of all, when they born, they don’t have anyone who cares of them.

The first five years of a child’s life are critical, the experts tell us. That’s when their characters are formed. That’s when taking care of them is the most important. They need someone to show them how to do things. Someone to love them. Unfortunately, for many of the world’s children, that’s just what they don’t get and society suffers as a result because a poor child has a lot less chance of being a good adult.

VOLUNTEERS 1.- What do you do during your free time? 2.- Do you help poor people? 3.- Do you do volunteer work? 4.- How often do you visit hospitals?

Some people go to work each day and then come home. They spend time with their B 2

family and friends. Perhaps they watch TV or go to a movie. Sometimes they exercise or read. This is their life. But for other people, this isn’t sufficient. They look around their neighborhoods and see people with terrible hardships:

sickness, loneliness,

homelessness, poverty. Other people see problems with the environment. Many people want to help, so, they do volunteer work. They give some of their time to help others.

Volunteers help in many ways. Some visit sick and lonely people. Some give their

friendship to children without parents. Some build houses for homeless people. Others sit and hold babies with AIDS. Here two examples: •

Andy Brinker hasn’t wanted to change the world but he is doing it with his work; last year, his best friend became sick. He had AIDS. Soon he was very sick, and he

B 1

didn’t have anyone to take care of him. Andy and other friends began to help. In 1999, Brinker started PROJECT OPEN HAND in New York. This group has cooked meals, has given medicine and has taken care to people with this and other

B 2

terrible diseases : tuberculosis, cancer, lupus, etc. for four years and the number of volunteers is growing everyday, next year they are going to start other project in Kansas .

•

At the Marine Mammal Center in northern California, Judy Simpson does volunteer work, she helps sick ocean mammals: seals, sea lions, whales.

The sick animals

become well and strong also motherless baby animals grow bigger and healthier. Simpson has helped to feed and take care of the animals and she hasn’t received any pay for her hard work. Her “pay” is the good feeling on the day when a healthy animal can return to the ocean.

Athea Williams, she is a young professional from New York, she has done a lot of volunteer work; for example, she has helped in schools for handicapped children and also she has lived in an orphan for two years. Tomorrow, she is going to start another period at a shelter where homeless people go to sleep at night. She is going to work there for one year. Three nights a week, she is going to help in the kitchen of the shelter with four other volunteers, they are going to cook for forty five people, they are going to cook meals with vegetables, chicken, fish and fruit; homeless people need this good food because many of them usually don’t eat well. Although food is important, they also have to be good listeners because most of these people have problems and they want someone to talk to, Athea thinks this is the most difficult work. As a volunteer she has talked to a lot of the homeless people and she says that some of them have had problems with alcohol or drugs, but others only have had bad luck; she remembers the story of one woman who worked for almost twenty years for a small company. Then she lost her job. She looked and looked for a new job but she didn’t find one. She was too old. She needed money for food, so she sold her furniture (sofas, chairs and tables), after, she didn’t have money for her apartment. She had to sleep in her car, then she sold her car. She was alone, afraid and homeless. Finally, she came to the shelter. After one year here, Athea is going to travel to Africa, because there is a hospital where there are not enough doctors, she is going to work as a nurse to do this, she is going to start a course on weekends to learn about Medicine, Anatomy and hospital work, she needs this knowledge to work better but for her, this is going to be the hardest experience because she has never lived without her family in other country. Twenty years ago, most volunteers were housewives, they volunteered time while their husbands were working but nowadays there are volunteers from all social classes, most of them aren’t rich or famous, they just enjoy their work because people need them. Today with problems such as AIDS and homelessness, the world needs volunteers more than ever before.

Mrs. Banks, a 61 years old farmer’s wife from Alabama, was immediately taken to the mortuary at the nearest hospital. That night, the undertaker (professional funeral organizer) who worked in the mortuary was really busy in the room where Mrs. Banks was. He didn’t think what was going to happen when he heard some strange sounds. When he looked round, he saw Mrs. Banks moving. The man was shocked and began to run to get help from the doctors at the hospital.

Doctors from the hospital ran to the mortuary. They discovered that Mrs. Banks was certainly unconscious for about eight hours but she wasn’t dead. She was instantly taken to hospital for more examination and treatment.

At 6:00 am. On New Year’s Day the local police informed the Banks family that Mrs. Banks was alive.

She has been in intensive care in the hospital for a few days. The general manager of the hospital announced today “she is making good progress. Doctors are going to let her to go home in two days, but she is conscious and receiving visitors”

UNIT SIX : FUTURE PREDICTIONS

During this unit you are supposed to: Make predictions Talk about future events Talk about possibilities Integrate different tenses Express their ideas according to a situation

ACTIVITY ONE: General Reading OUR CHANGING DIET

1.- Have you ever started a diet? 2.- how often do you eat fast food? 3.- what kind of food do you generally eat? 4.- Do you know the different groups of food? --------------------------------------------------------------------------Many people think that the typical North American diet consists of fast food: hamburgers, hot dogs, French fries, pizza, fried chicken and so on. They think Americans and Canadians also eat a lot of convenience foods, usually frozen or canned, and junk food: candies, cookies, potato chips and other things without much nutritional value. Unfortunately, this description is not totally inaccurate. The American diet is generally high in sugar, salt, fat and cholesterol, and these substances can cause health problems. -------------------------------------------------------------------------They are becoming more interested in good health and nutrition is an important part of health. North Americans

are eating less red meat and fewer eggs, and they are eating more chicken and fish. Chicken and fish contain less fat than meat and eggs. Many people are also buying

Texto Básico Inglés II

Dra. Fanny Zambrano MSc. Adriana Cundar

more fresh vegetables and eating them raw or cooked quickly in very little water in order to keep the vitamins. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The typical North American diet now includes food from many different countries. More ethnic restaurants are opening in big cities in the United States and Canada. Foods from China, Japan, Korea, Thailand, India and the Middle East are very popular. Even fast food places now offer “low fat” hamburgers, boiled or roasted instead of fried chicken, and salad bars with a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. ----------------------------------------------Because we now know about the importance of nutrition, we will probably continue to eat more fish and vegetables and less meat. We will still buy convenience foods in supermarkets, but frozen foods may be more nutritious and canned foods probably will have less salt and sugar. Our junk food will not be “junk” at all because instead of candy bars we will eat “nutrition bars” with a lot of vitamins and protein. In the future, our diet will probably be more interesting and healthful than it is now. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------People are always discussing new dishes, restaurants, diet plans and ideas about nutrition. The arguments about the best diets and foods will continue: are vegetarians really healthy?, is a highfiber diet with a lot of raw fruits and vegetables better than a diet of cooked foods? Is a little alcohol good for relaxation or is alcohol dangerous? Is some caffeine good for

energy, or is caffeine always bad? Can yellow vegetables really prevent cancer? Will eating garlic help avoid heart attacks? One thing we do know for sure: the key to good nutrition is balance. How do we achieve that balance? We can choose foods form a variety of sources, control the quantities that we eat, limit fats and of course, exercise.

TIP: LEARNING TO SUMMARIZE You can show your understanding of reading material by summarizing it. When you write a summary, you retell the main ideas and the important details in short form. You can use some words from the reading and some of your own words. What is important is to understand first and write clearly after. Example: Over the years, eating habits have changed a lot, for North Americans for example, their diet hasTWO: gone from folk food to junk food and now they are trying new ACTIVITY AFTER YOUR READ possibilities for example ethnic food.

ACTIVITY SEVEN: SPECIFIC READINGS READING ONE 1.- Read the second part of the article CHANGING DIETS and answer the quesions FOOD PERSONALITIES

People express their personalities in their clothes, their cars and their homes. We can choose certain foods to tell people something about us, our diets can also be an expression of our personalities.
