1. The alphabet 2. The numbers 3. Colors 4. Days and months

1.1 Teaching the alphabet Not knowing letter names is related to children's difficulty in learning letter sounds and in recognizing words. Children cannot understand and apply the alphabetic principle (understanding that there are systematic and predictable relationships between written letters and spoken sounds) until they can recognize and name a number of letters. Children whose alphabetic knowledge is not well developed when they start school need sensibly organized instruction that will help them identify, name, and write letters. Once children are able to identify and name letters with ease, they can begin to learn letter sounds and spellings. Children appear to acquire alphabetic knowledge in a sequence that begins with letter names, then letter shapes, and finally letter sounds. Children learn letter names by singing songs such as the "Alphabet Song," and by reciting rhymes. They learn letter shapes as they play with blocks, plastic letters, and alphabetic books. Informal but planned instruction in which children have many opportunities to see, play with, and compare letters leads to efficient letter learning. This instruction should include activities in which children learn to identify, name, and write both upper case and lower case versions of each letter.

Listen the pronunciation of each word. Listen carefully the different sound

SPEAKING ď&#x192;&#x17E; Students will repeat first each word then they will repeat the each single word and the corresponding word for each letter. This is just some vocabulary that students can learn while learning the alphabet. ď&#x192;&#x17E;

ACTIVITIES FOR EVALUATION THE CLASS developing the Listening skills, Speaking, Writing, and learning Vocabulary as well. First activity Students will Sing the alphabet song ( practice Listening) Teacher will play a song Students will play a game they will play the ABC game. Our children will find the letter on worksheets or pictures. The teacher will give the letter and students will find the letter and circle it. Teacher will provide to the students a page like this one. Another alphabet game Its fun for kids and can be fun for adults too.. Start with the letter A. “A is for apple”, “B is for banana”, “C is for cat”, and continue on with all the letters. For example, the play could consist with the alphabet game with fruit or animals. This way they are learning to sorals or fruits and also practicing their alphabet.

Note -

which format to use is a question of formality, politeness and personal choice; generally, the longer formats, such as B or C, are more polite (since they show more respect for the reader). Shorter formats, such as D or E, are used in less formal situations, for example a memo, a letter between friends or an impersonal business letter. Format F is rather official and is typically seen on an invoice or an official or technical document. Format A is extremely formal and mainly used on printed items, for example a wedding invitation. The numerical formats may use a full stop (.) or hyphen (-) instead of a slash (/), for example: 14.3.2011 or 03-14-11.

2.3 Learning to introduce myself Introducing yourself doesn’t mean that you are going to tell you name, it requires the appropiate information of the context you are in. Introducing yourself in class.

Hi! My name is Mark Smith, I´m from Canada and I have been living there all my life, I like to practice tennis but I really love go to the gym. I’m studing a major in History and I would like to be very famous one day. Bye! Go now, introduce yourself using your information: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ This an introduction very easy to do it and remember, don’t forget to be polite with older people. However, in real life you have to make an ongoing conversation, that´s why you can use questions and answer at the same time. For example:

George: Hello Bush! Have you heard about the new Fire department in the city? It´s a big station nextto central park.

Bush: Yes, I have. That station is going to be very helpful in our city, yesterday they firefihters body stinguish a burning in the forest, fortunatelly they were very professional and the burning was put out easily. George: Fantastic, the equipment they have is modern and very useful at all.

Bush: Now, my son wish to be a fireman but I’m worry about that´s look no safe! George: Don´t you worry man, they are professional and they know what to do, he will be a hero one day...

In an ongoing conversation a second person will ask you questions, you will answer these questions and make questions involving topics to create interest in listen what other person is talking about. Practice context: Create you own conversation and use the given space: Chuck: ____________________________________________________________. Lila: ______________________________________________________________________________________________________. Chuck: ___________________________________________________________________________________________. Donald: _____________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________.

Lila: _________________________________.

Formal and informal conversation Formal coversation It is very important to take in account very important phrasology that is used in formal conversations, you have to learn the differences between formal and informal dialogues: 

In formal conversation you have to call every person by their first name and last name.



Don´t forget to say Miss, Mr. Sir. Senior, or call people by their professions: engenier, teacher, doctor, lawyer and so on.



Don’t forget to use appropiate vocabulary for each context you are in.



Make eyes contact and pay attention in what this person is speaking.



Avoid use your cellphone while you´re keeping a conversation.



Catch the moment when you will use funny phrases.



Be self-confident and respect different opinions.

Practice in pair this conversation throught the phone: A. Hello, my I speak to Mr. Booth, please? B. Hello, hold on please, I got you throught. A. Thank you! B. Sorry, his line is engaged. Can you call again later? A. No, sorry I can´t. can you leave him a message? B. Yes, of course! A. Tell him I was glad to meet him and I’ll come back as soon as possible. B. All right, he´ll be glad to hear about that. Bye! A. Bye!

Mathew: Could you show ______ the way on the _________? Policeman: Yes, have a look here is not very far! Mathew: _____________ that´s very kind of you! Policeman: You´re _________________. Mathew: Bye!

Did you know that one day I should save you life? Karen: Well, just do it! I have to go, bye fireman! Smith: Bye, preatty! CHECK THE CHART AND PRACTICE THESE GREETINGS: General greetings (Formal) Hello! How are you? How are you doing? How is everything? How’s everything going? How have you been keeping?

Grammar Focus: Simple Present Structure (Positive) Subject + Base Verb (+ s/es in third person) + Object Examples: I get up early in the morning My wife brushes her long hair before work. My son goes to school the whole week.

The school bus leaves at 7 every morning My daughter loves puppies. Windshield are made of glass Time expressions with simple present tense The simple present tense is used to talk about things that happen regularly, repeatedly or all the time. As a result of this, we often use some adverbs of frequency with the simple present tense to state how often somebody does something.

Adverbs commonly used with the simple present tense are: always, usually, often, sometimes, occasionally, rarely and never. Note that the adverbs of frequency usually go before the verb. 

He often visits his grandparents.



I often buy comics.



He never gets angry.



We usually go to Singapore in April.



I sometimes read foreign periodicals.



I usually get up early.



They rarely watch TV at night.



She always carries an umbrella.



She frequently buys detective stories.

Structure (Negative) Negatives in simple present use do not or does not. They also use be + not. Do Not/Does Not Subject + Do/Does +not + base verb

Examples:    

He does not get up early. He does not shine his shoes in the morning. She studies English. She does not study English.

After do not or does not the verb is always in the base form. Be + Not

Negative sentences can also use the verb to be and not. They look like these examples: I am not a firefighter. She is a very skillfull firefighter. They are not from the fire department. Questions Yes / No questions (closed questions) In English, there are two basic types of questions: Yes / No questions and Wh- questions. Yes / No questions are also called closed questions because there are only two possible responses: Yes or No. When forming a Yes / No question, it must include one of these verbs: BE, DO, HAVE, or a MODAL VERB. It is impossible to ask a Yes / No question without one of these verbs.) The following is the word order to construct a basic question in English using Do or Does

Do/Does

Subject

I / you / we / they

Does

he / she / it

Do I play? Do you play? Does he play? Does she play? Does it play? Do we play? Do they play?

Verb

The Rest of the sentence

Some questions when asking someone about sports Do you play any sports? Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your favorite sport? Do you like to exercise? Why? What sport are you good at? Do you like to watch sports on TV? What's your favorite baseball team?

Table tennis

Speaking practice Practice the dialogue – Susan and Christine talking about what sport to practice. Susan: So, do you want to play tennis this weekend? Christine: I'm afraid I can't play tennis. Susan: NO, are you joking? I'm sure you can play tennis. EVERYBODY can play tennis. Christine: Well, I can't. BUT I can play golf. Susan: Really, I can play golf, too. - but not very well. Christine: I have an idea. Why don't we play tennis this weekend and then next weekend golf? Susan: OK, that's a good idea. Let’s go. Grammar focus: Adjectives Adjectives are used to describe or give information about things, ideas and people: nouns or pronouns. For Example: Cristiano ronaldo is a good player (The adjective good describes the noun "player".) Mustáfina is an excellent gymnast. (The adjective excellent describes the noun gymnast) The most common question an adjective might answer is "What kind of ...?" The good news is that in English the form of an adjective does not change, once you have learnt it that's it and it does not matter if the noun being described is male or female, singular or plural, subject or object. Some adjectives give us factual information about the noun - age, size colour etc (fact adjectives - can't be argued with). Some adjectives show what somebody thinks about something or somebody - nice, horrid, beautiful etc (opinion adjectives - not everyone may agree). If you are asked questions with which, whose, what kind, or how many, you need an adjective to be able to answer. There are different types of adjectives in the English language:      

Numeric: six, one hundred and one etc. Quantitative: more, all, some, half, more than enough etc. Qualitative: colour, size, smell etc. Possessive: my, his, their, your etc. Interrogative: which, whose, what etc. Demonstrative: this, that, those, these etc.

Note - The articles a, an, and the are a special kind of adjective called articles, and the possessives my, our, your, and their are sometimes known as possessive adjectives. Colour Adjectives can be used to describe colour.

red, yellow, blue, green, purple, orange, etc. For Example: "The blue bag." or "The blue bags". Opinion

Adjectives can be used to give your opinion about something. good, pretty, right, wrong, funny, light, happy, sad, full, soft, hard etc. For Example: He was a silly boy. / She was a silly girl. Size

Adjectives can be used to describe size. big, small, little, long, tall, short, same as, etc. Example "The big man." or "The big woman".

Age Adjectives can be used to describe age. old, young, ancient, modern, current, old fashioned For Example: Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire, England

. Shape Adjectives can be used to describe shape.

round, circular, triangular, rectangular, square, oval, etc. Example: "It was a square box." or "They were square boxes." Origin Adjectives can be used to describe origin.

For Example:"It was a German flag." or "They were German flags." Material Adjectives can be used to identify the material something is made of.

ď&#x201A;ˇ "A wooden cupboard." or "Wooden cupboards." ! Note - In English we often change nouns into adjectives.

glass - a glass vase / metal - a metal tray etc. Distance Adjectives can be used to describe distance.

long, short, far, around, start, high, low, etc. Example: "She went for a long walk." or "They went for lots of long walks." Temperature Adjectives can be used to describe temperature.

cold, warm, hot, cool, etc. Example: "It was a hot day" or "We eat ice cream on hot days." Time Adjectives can be used to describe time.

late, early, bed, nap, dinner, lunch, day, morning, night, etc. Example: "She had an early start."

Purpose Adjectives can be used to describe purpose. (These adjectives often end with "-ing".) For Example: "She gave them a sleeping bag." or "She gave them sleeping bags."

Note - Have you noticed how the adjective stays the same, whether it is describing a masculine, feminine, singular or plural noun?

When using more than one adjective to modify a noun, the adjectives may be separated by a conjunction (and) or by commas (,). Example: "Her hair was long and blonde." or "She had long, blonde hair." More examples:

Adjective

Pretty

Serious

Fast

For Example:

She is a pretty girl.

He was a serious boy.

It could be a fast car.

Note - Adjectives that go immediately before the noun are called attributive adjectives. Adjectives can also be used after some verbs. They do not describe the verb, adverbs do that. Adjectives after a verb describe the subject of the verb (usually a noun or pronoun). Example: "Lynne looks tired." The subject (in this case Lynne) is being described as tired not the verb to look. An adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun. Directions: Circle the adjective or adjectives in the sentences given below. Then, enclose in parentheses the noun it describes. Example: The (car ride) was bumpy. That food tasted bitter. I was ashamed that I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pass my test. The story was very brief. I felt very comfortable in my new home.

UNIT 5. What are you doing? Unit objective: At the end of the unit, the students will be able to organize ideas in English correctly. Contents: 1. Clock time 2. Time of the day 3. Every day activities 4. Working at home

CLOCK TIME Identifying words that tell how we measure time. Students will use words such words as day, month, year, hour, second, minute, decade, and century. Focus on the words day, hour, minute, and second. Explain to students that the concept of the 24-hour day dates back to the time of the ancient Egyptians. Make sure students understand that a day = 24 hours, an hour = 60 minutes, and a minute = 60 seconds. Listening What time is it? - I Excuse me. Can you tell me the time, please? Yes, of course. It's seven o'clock. Thank you. No problem. What time is it? - II What time is it? It's half past three. Thanks. You're welcome. Key Vocabulary Excuse me. Can you tell me the time, please? What time is it? It's half past... It's quarter past... It's ten to... It's quarter to...

LISTENING! The next thing you can do is listening to this time telling the time. Notice how many different forms they use to ask for the time. Speaking with a classmate create a conversation asking about the time and giving the correct information, you can take as example the conversation below. Writing Direction: write the correct information in each space English exercise "Tell the time"



8.25 =» it's - 8.15 =» it's - 10.45 =» it's - 00.30 (minuit et demie) =» it's

In English we use "past" to say times after the hour until half past, or 30 minutes past the hour. In English we use o'clock only at the full hour. Example: It's eight o'clock

We use "to" to say times before the hour from 31 minutes until the full hour. We can also just say the numbers in groups of two. Example: It's seven twenty-five When speaking about the different ti- Be careful! In English we use at night mes of the day we often use: in the NOT in the night morning, in the afternoon, in the evening

5.3 Daily activities The routines that we follow every day in life are called daily activities, those can be at: home, work, school and so on. What do you do at work? I go to work at 6:00 am every morning. I usually drive to work.

I always check my emails when I get to work, but I don't always reply to them immediately. I take a taxi or a train if I have a lunch meeting. I never take the bus because it is too slow. When I am at my desk I usually work on the computer, even during morning tea. At 12:00 pm most days I have lunch. At 3:00 pm we have afternoon tea, and that is when we usually talk and eat cake.

When you are in the office you probably have a lot of papers. It is important for you to file your papers, and so that you can find them again you need to organise your files. When I work I have to make telephone calls. If an important issue happens I ask my secretary toorganise a meeting. Once a month I report to my boss, but maybe you have to report to your boss more often. I usuallywrite a document that my boss can read. 

There are chores we like to do and chores we don't like to do. Most people don't like to take out the trash.

Grammar focus: The Present Continuous Tense We use the Present Continuous Tense to talk about activities happening now. Example: The kids are watching burning flame movie.

More examples: I am sitting down, because I am tired. I am not learning German, because this is an English class. Who are you writing to? We can also use the Present Continuous Tense to talk about activities happening around now, and not necessarily this very moment. Examples:

Sally is studying really hard for her exams this week.

I am reading a really interesting firefighter magazine now. We aren't working hard these days.

The Present Continuous Tense is also used to talk about activities happening in the near future, especially for planned future events. Examples I am seeing my dentist on Wednesday. Polly is coming for dinner tomorrow. Are you doing anything tonight? We aren't going on holiday next week.

Carnivals Rio de Janeiro

Venice

Cologne, Germany

Rio de Janeiro Carnival The Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro is a world famous festival held before Lent every year and considered the biggest carnival in the world with two million people per day on the streets. The first festivals of Rio date back to 1723.

The typical Rio carnival parade is filled with revelers, floats and adornments from numerous samba schools which are located in Rio (more than 200 approximately, divided into 5 leagues/ divisions). A samba school is composed of a collaboration of local

neighbours that want to attend carnival together, with some kind of regional, geographical common background. One of the many main purposes of the Rio carnival parade is for samba schools to compete with their sisters samba-schools; this competition is the climax of the whole carnival festival in this city, related to the samba-schools environment. Each school chooses a theme to try to portray with their entry. The samba schools work to build the best floats, costumes, lyrics, aesthetics, to represent their themes (in Carnival terminology called "enredo"), and to include the best music they can from their drumming band called the bateria. There are many parts to each school's entry including the six to eight floats and up to 4,000 ( four thousand ) revelers per Samba-school of the so-called Special group. There is a special order that every school has to follow with their parade entries. Each school begins with the "comissão de frente" (literally "Commission of the Front" in English), that is the "wing" or group of people from the school that appear first. Made up of ten to fifteen people, the "comissão de frente" introduces the school and sets the mood and style of their presentation. These people have choreographed dances in fancy costumes that usually tell a short story. Following the "comissão de frente" is the first float of the samba school, called "abre-alas" (“Opening Wing" in English). From the concepts below try to find the synomyms or the word that better suit. Samba:a rhythmic style of dance/sport/competition from Brazil festival Parade synonym: march-past/ concealment Climax to reach the greatest/lowest point or level of activity Fancy synonym: decorative/unornamented Festival synonym: celebration/wake Check the statements that are true. _____ The Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro is a world famous festival. _____ The typical Rio carnival parade is filled with revelers, floats and adornments from numerous samba schools. _____ "comissão de frente" (literally "Commission of the Front" in English), that is the "wing" or group of people from the school that appear last.

Healthy Diet for Firefighters of El Salvador

Have you ever heard of the Food Pyramid? No, it’s not a giant pile of food in Egypt! The Food Pyramid is a clever chart to show the five groups of foods that have all the nutrients that keep your body healthy and make you grow. It includes the different foods from all five groups and how much of each type of food you should eat. The foods that make up the widest part of the pyramid’s base–breads, cereals, rice and pasta–should be the biggest part of your diet, followed by several servings of fresh fruits and vegetables every day. And as you ‘climb’ up the pyramid you get to dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt) and meat, fish, beans, nuts and eggs. And finally, fats, oils, and sweets are at the very top of the pyramid–which means that you should eat very little of these foods! Remember that it’s very important to eat these good foods, and also exercise regularly. And one of the most important meals of the day is breakfast! If you eat a healthy breakfast before leaving for school you’re sure to have better grades, pay more attention at school, and stay healthier than those kids who don’t eat breakfast. Learn more about the Food Guide Pyramid for Kids or the Food Pyramid for Adults.

7.3 BEVERAGES While all beverages hydrate, some also provide important nutrients your body needs. Some relax you. Some energize you. Some simply satisfy your natural taste for sweetness – with calories or without. Some help you perform your best. And some can even help you manage health concerns. Any beverage can be part of a weight-maintenance diet. Sing the song with your classmates: Lyrics: I’m thirsty! I'm thirsty! Do you like water? Yes, I do! Do you like coffee? No, I don't! Do you like wine? Yes, I do! Do you like beer? No, I don't! I'm thirsty (repeat) Do you like lager? Yes, I do! Do you like cockteil? No, I don't! Do you like cola? Yes, I do! Do you like apple juice?

I'm thirsty (repeat) Do you like milshake? Yes, I do!

Do you like chocomilk? Yes, I do! Let's go get something to drink!



Practice your speaking skill:

Working in pairs, talk with your classmates you likes and dislikes about drinks. Use this: I’m thirsty I would like to take a juice but I don´t like lemonade!

Read the next information: Drink water and low fat milk Fluids are needed for the body to digest food, cool down, and move nutrients and waste. Drinks are the largest source of fluids. Most adults need 9 to 12 cups of fluid per day. Your fluid needs depend on your age, gender, body size and activity level. Tips for choosing healthy drinks and Healthy Drinks, Healthy Kids provide guidance for choosing drinks and suggest you and your family: 

Drink water throughout the day



Drink milk at meals



Limit fruit juice to ½ cup per day

Drinks containing sugar and fat are often higher in calories. Using these drinks can contribute to weight gain. Limit your intake of these drinks to help you manage weight and reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Avoid drinks with added sugar such as fruit flavoured drinks, soft drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks, sweetened hot or cold drinks and alcohol. Choose true or false: a) Fluids are no needed for you to have good health?.................................................YES……….NO b) Most of the adults don not need more tan a cup of water at day?.....................YES……….NO c) What is necessary to get good health?...........................................................................YES……….NO d) For children drink water, milk and fruit juice is hazardous?..............................YES……….NO e) Drinks which cointain sugar and fat are often higher in nutrients?................YES…….….NO f) Limiting yourself to take drinks with a lot sugar and fat will prevent to get a disease?......................................................……...................................................………......................YES……….NO g) Drinks with added sugar such as fruit flavoured drinks, soft drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks, sweetened hot or cold drinks and alcohol are very healthy............................ …….......................................................................……..................................................................YES……….NO

If you notice in the song there are some specifics likes and dislikes about drinks, now rewrite a paragraph of this song, but this time choose your preferences: _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Remember: Rather and Prefer are words used to show a choice from different options. Start with some examples:  

Would you rather eat pizza or pasta? I would rather eat pizza. Would you prefer to eat pizza or pasta? I would prefer to eat pizza.

The structure of these sentences are the same except for one small difference: Would Rather is followed by a base verb and Would Prefer is followed by an infinitive. Subject + Would + Rather + Base Verb I would rather live in a warm country. I would rather go to a different restaurant. Subject + Would + Prefer + To + Verb I would prefer to live in a warm country. She would prefer to meet on Monday. Not comes before the verb with both rather and prefer. I would rather not go to work today. I would prefer not to play a game. Now, you have have more knowledge at the moment to choose something that you like, don’t forget to practice gramatical structure in order to achieve comprehensiona and understanding.

10 Surprising, Healthy Eating Habits from Around the World

The United States doesn’t have the highest obesity rate in the Americas (that dubious honor goes to Mexico), but over one-third of US adults are currently obese, and that number isn’t dropping. It’s a pretty eye-opening statistic, especially when compared with data from countries like Japan and India, where obesity rates fall below five percent. Why the difference? While national obesity rates depend on many factors, they probably have a lot to do with lifestyle and culture, including what people eat and how they eat it. The good news is that everyone can borrow healthy eating habits from countries around the world — and leave some less-wholesome practices on foreign soil. Keep in mind that these habits come from traditional diets found in these countries — with globalization, some foods and eating habits have migrated around the world (for better or for worse). For example, les steaks hachés sounds like a typical French food, but it’s actually the meaty part of Le Big Mac (and hardly part of traditional cuisine). 1. Japan

One unexpected habit to steal from Japanese eating culture is the emphasis placed on food’s appearance. Small portions and colorful, seasonal vegetables make for a visually appealing — and healthy — plate. The small portions may help to keep calories in check, while bright veggies provide a range of healthy vitamins and minerals . Skip: Fish high in heavy metals. Mercury, an element that can cause nervous system damage, is particularly prevalent in predatory species like tuna, king mackerel, and swordfish . Avoid sushi such as maguro (tuna) and nama-saba(mackerel) and go for safer options like sake (salmon), ebi (shrimp), and ika(squid) instead. Check out this list before stepping up to the sushi bar.

2. China

Pick up sticks: Chowing down with chopsticks can help slow eating speed, which may ultimately decrease the amount of food eaten. Research has shown slower eating may lead to reduced caloric intake, and one Japanese study found that the odds for being obese and having cardiovascular disease were higher among people who ate faster . Skip: MSG (though maybe not for everyone). Monosodium Glutamate has been linked with a number of negative health effects, including headaches and numbness, in certain people . Though the research is still somewhat inconclusive, avoid the unpleasant side effects by preparing Chinese food at home or ordering from restaurants that don’t use MSG. 3. United States

Go local: The “Standard American Diet” (SAD) is indeed sad, but some regional dietary patterns offer healthier alternatives. Look to San Francisco for inspiration — Frisco residents are known for chowing down on locally grown food. Fruits and veggies grown nearby often contain more nutrients and fewer pesticides than produce that must travel long distances from farm to table . Skip: Chemicals you're unsure of. Pizza, cheeseburgers, and French fries are obvious “skip” foods, but there are a number of potentially harmful chemicals in American food. Read nutrition labels carefully — in general, the shorter the ingredient list, the fewer chemicals and additives in a given food. READING Scan the text to check your answers.
