TO OUR STUDENTS
The Ministry of Education aims at providing Ecuadors students with

both the foreign language knowledge and the skills needed to succeed
in todays globalized world as English is the international language
that will allow them to access knowledge and information and that will
become an instrument of personal and professional empowerment to
build a more prosperous, equitable society.
For the first time, the Ministry of Education will provide free English
textbooks to students. This will contribute to the learning process in a
positive manner, for every student will have an additional resource to
aid them in their language acquisition process.
These textbooks as well as the teaching-learning approach adopted
are guided by the Common European Framework of Reference for
Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment, which is an internationally
recognized standard for the explicit description of educational
objectives, content elaboration, and methods as well as a basis for
the reflection on current educational practices.
Since the communicative language approach will shape the teaching
and learning practices in Ecuadorian classrooms, both teachers and
learners are enthusiastically invited to make use of the
English language for meaningful communication
and as a tool to open windows to the world,
unlock doors to opportunities, and expand
their minds to the understanding of new
ideas and other cultures.

Read the article as you listen.
Todays parents are worried. Their children

and their iPods are inseparable. Wherever they
go, teenagers listen to music on their iPods. The
problem is not the iPods but the kinds of music
teenagers listen to. Most teenagers are into rap
and other kinds of hip-hop music. Why is this a
problem? Listen to the lyrics of many rap songs.
Theyre often about drugs, sex, and violence.
But does music influence young peoples
behavior? For example, do teenagers who listen to
rap songs about violence become violent? Do those
who listen to rock, heavy metal, and rap become
drug users?
There are many different opinions. Some say
16 Comprehension
singers and their songs affect the behavior of

young people. They say that music with violent
lyrics is the reason some young people commit
crimes, and some teenagers do drugs because
their favorite singers do the same thing. The
singers say it is ridiculous to blame them and their
songs for what teenagers choose to do. They say
it is the responsibility of parents to raise their kids
well. Singers are not babysitters. In one of his
raps, Eminem asks, Where were the parents at?
In other words, Eminem is blaming the parents, not
the singers or their songs, when kids go wrong.
The debate continues. What about you? Do you
think todays music is bad for you?

My country, Australia, is the only country thats a continent.

Its in the Southern Hemisphere. Its a beautiful country with
many things to see and do.
Most Australians live in towns and cities near the ocean.
Sydney is the largest city in Australia. Its on the east coast,
and its almost always sunny and warm. Sydney Harbor is
beautiful.
The Great Barrier Reef is also on the east coast. Its the
largest reef in the world. You can see lots of cool fish. But watch
out for the sharks!
The middle of the country, the Outback, is hot and dry. Not
many people live there. But there are some cool places to see.
Many people visit the Outback to see Uluru, a huge rock in the
desert. Its 345 meters tall and 3 kilometers wide!
Australia has lots of unusual animals. One animal were
famous for is the kangaroo. There are over 40 different kinds of
kangaroos. Kangaroos hop very quickly on their strong legs, and
they carry their babies in a pouch.
Another unusual animal we have is the Tasmanian Devil. It lives
in Tasmania, an island thats part of Australia. The Tasmanian
Devil has very sharp teeth and a strange, loud scream. It hunts
at night, and eats almost any animal it can find.

and open presents on their birthdays. And for young
children, there is a special celebration in February
called the 3-5-7 Festival. This is for boys aged 3 and
5, and girls aged 3 and 7. Children wear traditional
clothes on this day. They eat special sweets called
thousand-year candies so they will live a long life.
The twentieth birthday is also important in Japan. This
is when Japanese teenagers become adults. Each
city has a special event for all 20-year-olds in January.
Mexico
At birthday parties in Mexico, kids break piatas.

Piatas are made of paper and have candy and fruit
inside. The birthday boy or girl puts on a blindfold and
tries to hit the piata with a stick. When the piata
breaks, the other kids run to pick up the candy.
On their fifteenth birthday, Mexican girls are called
Quinceaeras. They have a big, expensive party
with dinner, music, and dancing. The birthday girl
wears a beautiful dress and jewelry. She dances first
with different young men, then with her father and
other relatives.
Vietnam
In Vietnam, everybody celebrates his or her birthday
on the same dayNew Years Day. It doesnt
matter what day you were born. On New Years
Day, everyone is one year older. Everyone wears
new clothes, and there are fireworks and parades.
Young people get red envelopes from their parents
and other adults. Inside the envelopes is lucky
money. At the end of the day, young people open
the envelopes and count their money!

Unit 1, 11 Practice, page 10
For the student: Form two lines, line A and line B. The lines should face each other so that
every student is standing across from a student in the other line.

Take turns asking and answering the three questions from the grammar chart: Whats your
name? How old are you? Whos your favorite singer? (All pairs will be speaking at the same
time, so it will be very noisy in the room!) After both students in each pair have asked the
questions, everyone in line A should move down one. The student at the beginning of Line A
moves to the other end of his or her line.
Line A:

For the teacher: Make sure that the students

are seated in rows. Each row is a team.
Assign ordinal numbers for each row; for
example, row 1 is the first row.
For the teacher: Tell the students to form

a circle. Say a sentence, making one up
or choosing from the list below. Make a
humming sound for the missing word. Go
around the circle and randomly call on a
student to give the correct object pronoun.
If that student answers correctly, he or she
remains standing. If not, the student sits
down.
Have the students in each row count off,

each row beginning with number 1. Give a
command to a student from any row, using
ordinals to identify the student.
For example: The sixth student in the first
row, raise your hand. If the student responds
quickly and correctly, he or she earns a point
for the team.

For the teacher: Form two teams. Draw a
tic-tac-toe grid on the board. Explain how
to play. You will say something about Rufus.
Members of the two teams compete to
correct your statement. The team that gives
the correct answer runs to the board and
fills in a box in the tic-tac-toe grid. Use these
statements.
1. Rufus has four sisters.

(Rufus doesnt have four sisters. He has four
brothers.)
2. Mr. and Mrs. Garcia have four cats.
3. The cats have blue eyes.
4. Mr. and Mrs. Garcia have a small house.
5. The house has a backyard.
6. The house has six bedrooms.

I live in Marwood, a village in

Devon, Great Britain. It doesnt have
any stores, and it is a boring place. I
never go out at night because there is
5
nothing to do!
I have one sister. Shes nineteen, and
shes a college student.
My parents are divorced. My sister
and I live with our mom. I have lots of
friends, but they dont live in Marwood. 10
They live far away from us. I have a
motorcycle, and I ride it in the country
on weekends. I cant ride it on the road
because I am only fifteen years old.
15
I go to high school. I study a lot of
things, but my favorite subject is art.
One day I want to work in a museum.
