Rose and Johnny

Read and listen to the audio. Then, answer the questions.
Rose: I just moved to this city. I used to live in the countryside! Even though life is different
here, I like it. I love being able to see skyscrapers and use the subway. My new friends and I
spend a lot of time outdoors where they teach me how to skateboard. I love painting, and since
I moved here I’m learning how to paint graffiti. I hope that, someday, I will study Arts at the
University because I paint well! One of the things I love the most about the city is that there are
a lot of museums. Sometimes, I believe that people from big cities argue a lot. I hate arguing!
Problems are bad; I hate them! Being stressed out is bad for your health! Sometimes I miss my
old town and my best friend, his name is Jonny! Today I received one of his birthday presents: a
vintage Mexican postcard.
Johnny: I love being with my brothers. I have seven brothers! We live in a small town in Utah’s
desert. We do a lot of volunteer work; three of my brothers do gardening at our local biggest
park; four of my sisters go reading to a rest home. In my case, two of my brothers and I visit all
everyone at our local hospital. My favorite sister is Roxanne; she doesn’t like to talk a lot, she’s
shy but she’s a good listener. We love helping others and making new friends. My friend Rose
just moved to the city, I miss her. However, life in the city is chaotic! I rather live here!
Today my mom told me that Rose sent me a weird synthetic sweater. The city is changing her
taste! What a weird present!

La Feria vs Six Flags
The oldest two amusement parks in Mexico City
are La Feria de Chapultepec and Six Flags. People
have different opinions about them, especially
because they are so different, but they share certain
qualities. Still, they both are incredibly fun.
Let's start by saying La Feria is not as new as Six
Flags. Actually, La Feria was the first amusement
park in Mexico, so it's older. However, they both are
fun and offer a lot of rides. The roller coasters are the
main attractions in amusement parks. La Montaña
Rusa in La Feria is not as high as Superman in Six
Flags. However, people love both of them, because
they are not boring.
One of the most important differences between
the two parks are their costs. La Feria is not as
expensive as Six Flags. Which it tells us how different
they are in size. For example, La Casona del Terror
in La Feria isn't as big and scary as El Festival del
Terror in Six Flags.
51
1. La Feria isn't as new as Six flags. 2. La Feria is as fun as Six Flags.
3. Superman is as high as La Montana Rusa. 4. La Feria is as expensive as Six Flags.
5. La Casona del Terror isn’t as big as Festival del Terror.

Changing the world

Read and listen carefully to the text. Then, underline the main verbs with (-ing).
Every day people try to change their life for the better. Especially because our worst
enemy is ourselves. However, changing is sometimes hard! Specialists believe we don't
have to quit drastically our bad habits: what we need to do is to nurture new habits in
order to kill the old ones. Old habits die hard.
The first question we must ask is: Do you get up early? The most successful people
enjoy getting up early. Therefore, they have more time to exercise, read, help others
or just work harder to achieve their dreams.
Another question... How many hours do you spend exercising in a week? Scientists
have proved our brains work better when they have more oxygen. Unfortunately, the
only way to introduce oxygen in our minds and bodies is by working out and sweating
a little. Therefore, you must spend time exercising. You won't regret it.
There are no more excuses. From now on, you will spend time exercising, so you can
stop eating junk food. These first two new habits will bring you more benefits. Later
you'll finish reading all your books and as a consequence, you won’t mind helping
others. Change today! We could change this world!
73
Talk to a partner about trying to change one’s life for the better.

My advice to solve problems and make up a friendly environment for every student is
simple. We are pretty sure they work because our best students follow them.
Today I'm sharing with you the story of Jacobo, a student who almost failed high
school last year. He avoided skipping classes to obtain better grades and next year
he's going to college. Also, he finally finished taking extracurricular classes to win
a scholarship, so soon he will get his first monthly scholarship check. Also, he spent
more time reading in order to pass his Spanish course, and pretty soon he's going to
visit Mexico City to receive a prize for writing the best short story in the state.
It might sound complicated, but lately, our students have improved a lot. Every day,
they enjoy practicing active listening, teamwork, leadership and patience to reach
their personal and academic goals. What are you waiting for?
Answer the questions a practice them with a partner. Switch turns.

There are two forms of adjectives and adverbs used to
show varying degrees of comparison:
Comparative is used when two things are being

compared with each other:
Adjective Comparative – words end in “er” (bigger, stronger, longer,
etc.)
Superlative is used when more than two things

are being compared with one another:
Superlative – words end in “est” (biggest, strongest, longest,
etc.)
Adverb a word that is used to modify an adjective, verb, or adverb.
Regular forms for three or more syllable words.

Comparative – use "more" (more understandable, more comfortable, etc.)
Superlative – use "most" (most understandable, most comfortable, etc.)
Adverbs that end in "ly" always use "more" or "most", such as "more quickly" or
"most quickly".

Superlative forms of adjectives and adverbs
Many adverbs end in -ly, but many don’t. Generally, if a word can have -ly added to its
adjective form, place it there to form an adverb.
She thinks quick/quickly.
How does she think? Quickly.
She is a quick/quickly thinker.

Quick is an adjective describing thinker, so no -ly is attached.
Examples She thinks fast/fast.

The word fast answers the question how, so it is an adverb.
But fast never has -ly attached to it.
We performed bad/badly.
Badly describes how we performed, so -ly is added.
Write down five sentences using adverbs that end in -ly. See the examples given
above.

My favorite person is definitely my friend Karl. We met in

secondary school, in a writing class. He is good with words, so I
think someday he will become a famous writer because he's so
critical. He always helps me with my English homework because
he is completely good at languages. He is able to speak English
fluently. When he was a kid he used to live in France where he
was able to speak French; now he forgot it. However, he is a great
speaker. When he talks, everybody pays attention: definitely, the
crowd goes silent with his words. He wants to become a lecturer in
a prestigious university. Because of him, I understand how important speaking is for
humans. Now, I take acting lessons. I hope that someday, I will be able to speak a lot
of languages too.
Roberto and Alfredo are identical twins, and they both are energetic and empathetic.
However, they are incredibly different because their personalities are just the opposite.
For example, one loves sports, and the other loves books. Roberto is able to play
soccer, baseball and basketball like a professional. On the other hand, Alfredo barely
can pass his P.E. class. However, Alfredo is able to read 300 pages a day, and he is
able to get perfect grades in every subject. Roberto wants to be a personal trainer or
a paramedic, Alfredo wants to be a journalist. Sometimes I think if we mix them, we'll
get a perfect human being. Roberto would be able to do anything in life!

Two pranksters put upside down the city

Last night, a couple of young men were walking freely downtown. Nobody could see
what they had underneath their hoodies. It was until they stopped at Diamond, the
most famous jewelry in town, when they pulled off their shirts and with a seeming
loaded gun asked for all the cash, diamonds as well. The shopping assistant who
just started working that morning got terrified. Also, she was celebrating her 18th
birthday. This is called bad luck, a bad day as well. In spite of the assistant’s cries of
pain, nobody heard. Therefore, the robbers left with two millions of pesos in their
backpacks.
However, the day wasn't over for these two youngsters, because the jewelry called the
police right after the thieves left as well as the youngsters stopped at a local park.
Therefore, in a brief amount of time, six minutes to be precise, two police officers
arrived and interviewed the terrified shopping assistant. Later, they rode their bikes
and found the youngsters still in the local park,
practicing tricks with their bicycles. The fight went
on, if we can call it a fight, because the youngsters
surrendered immediately. So today, we believe we
have a couple of real heroes, don't we? Moreover,
the two cops received a medal, and a couple of
prizes from the jewelry as well.

25. There are vegetables such as potatoes, we shouldn’t eat a lot.
A simple guide to healthy eating

When talking about food, everything is important. In other words, we have to take care
of everything we eat. Especially since eating healthy could let us have long healthy lives.
However, not everybody knows the importance of food, but today we are going to discover
it. Let's start by saying there are five food groups, such as vegetables and legumes, fruits,
grain foods, leans meats and poultry, and dairy products. Let’s learn about vegetables and
fruits.
Vegetables and legumes
Studies say we don't eat enough vegetables a day. That is to say, we don't eat them in a
balanced way. For example, sometimes we eat a lot of potatoes when we shouldn't eat
more than half a potato every day. However, it's never late to add more vegetable portions
in different dishes like salads, juices, or a steamed bowl. Another thing we commonly miss
are legumes like lentils, peas, and beans. We must eat them! They help us build muscles.
Fruits
Everybody likes fruits because of their sweet flavor. In addition, they are not just sweet;
they are healthy for their nutrients beyond vitamins. This is to say, they have more than
only vitamins they also have antioxidants. However, we have to be cautious not to abuse
fruits. For instance, they have a lot of sugar, so we have to eat them carefully. They help us
to strengthen our skin.

"Listen to silence. It has much to say."
Rumi
What is silence?
Sometimes living becomes stressing: our world can be chaotic. There is a lot of noise, pay
attention: there is a classmate shouting, a car breaking the wind and a distant dog is barking:
this noise will never fade away. Do you feel it? However, we have a superpower against noise:
its name is silence. We all have silence within us, did you know it? Have you felt it? Silence has
multiple benefits in a lot of aspects. If we become more silent we could achieve to be the very
best version of our selves. Silence is the only constant in every philosophy and religion around
the world. From Chinese Taoism to the Amazonian tribes, silence is pure gold. How much silence
do you have? How much power can you achieve? In a universe full of mysteries, silence is the
greatest first step we must achieve in order to be happy. Do you want to be happy?
Today’s challenge is to generate silence.
Activity 1. Answer the next questions.

- What is the most stressing thing in your school life?
- Do you like having everything under control?
Before we go on, remember: being a student is complicated for everyone. There isn't
a perfect school life, so you must relax and understand that everything will work on
its own way. However, there are certain rules we have to understand. For example:
controlling everything can harm our nervous system and cause stress.
Activity 2
Find your happy place. You need to have more than one. One can be at school, a place
surrounded by nature. There you can practice breathing exercises.
1. Get comfortable. You can lie on your back in bed or on the floor with a pillow
under your head and knees. Or you can sit in a chair with your shoulders,
head, and neck supported against the back of the chair.
2. Breathe in through your nose. Let your belly fill with air.
3. Breathe out through your nose.
4. Place one hand on your belly. Place the other hand on your chest.
5. As you breathe in, feel your belly rise. As you breathe out, feel your belly
lower. The hand on your belly should move more than the one that’s on
your chest.
6. Take three more full, deep breaths. Breathe fully into your belly as it rises
and falls with your breath.
You can practice this technique anytime you feel stressed out. Some people do it
every morning or before going to bed. Choose what suits best for you.
149
“Don’t wait until the absolute last minute
to deliver on anything. Work ahead on your
existing assignments, and plan ahead with
your editorial calendar.”
William Shakespeare
Why is complicated to
communicate our feelings?
People feel in different ways. This is one of our main problems.
We have learned to communicate in different ways. Some of us
are passive, some others are aggressive and the rest is assertive.
However, since we shared a lot of activities every day at school.
However, we can diminish our problems if we learn to communicate
in an assertive way.
Activity 1.
- What is to be an aggressive person? Are you aggressive?
- What is to be a passive person? Are you a passive person?
- Would you like to become a person that communicates assertively?
What is to be assertive?
Being assertive means being able to stand up for your own or other people’s rights in a
calm and positive way, without being either aggressive or passively accepting ‘wrong’.
By being assertive we should always respect the thoughts, feelings, and beliefs of
other people.
Would you like to become assertive? Follow this easy guide to become assertive!
- Express your wishes, thoughts, and feelings and encourage others to do the same.
- Listen to the views of others and respond appropriately, whether in agreement
with those views or not.
- Accept responsibilities and be able to delegate to others.
- Regularly expressing appreciation of others for what they have done or are doing.
- Be able to admit your mistakes and apologize.
- Maintain self-control.
- Behave as an equal to others.
Activity 2
- Imagine you have a conflict with someone.
- Make teams of three people. Two must be the opponents and the third part will
regulate the dialogue.
- In team, describe the qualities of the people within the conflict.
- Do you want to solve your problem?
- If you said yes: every part will write their emotions in a polite way.
- Approach each other and perform a dialogue based on respect and self-control.
- Remember, in a conflict both parts are humans and both parts deserve to be
heard.
- If you reach the point where you express all your emotions you can forgive each
other.
- Then, your friendship can be back because you have learned a big lesson:
misunderstandings exist.

UNIT 1
SUBJECT: ECOLOGY
I love green
Life as we know is beautiful but it could change. However, we must help. Today is all about
understanding we all are connected. No matter how distant we feel, we are connected. I
am linked with a lion; you are linked with a giraffe. Sometimes we feel we can’t do anything
for nature. Do you know how? I will tell you.
FIRST
In your own words, define the next words.
Ecosystem:
Community:
Balance:
SECOND
Now, mix the previous concepts and explain how they are connected with you. Follow
my example.
Why our ecosystems are important? They are like our house, so how must we treat our
house? First, we should see each other as a community: your neighbor, your dog: we all
are a community. As members of a community, we must understand where we are.
THIRD
Now, research on the internet the variety of ecosystems in Mexico. Find out in which
ecosystem you inhabit. Then, discover what the main ecological problems in your town
are. In teams, write a plan where you can help your ecosystem. You have to consider the
three main concepts of today: ecosystem, community and balance.
UNIT 2
SUBJECT: PHYSICS
An experiment with light
The results of this experiment are pretty surprising. People always wonder how the arrow
changes its direction.
Supplies Needed
- Piece of paper
- Marker
- Glass
- Water
154
Experiment Instructions
FIRST
Get a piece of paper, and draw two arrows on it. One arrow near the top and one arrow
near the bottom. Make the arrows point in the same direction.
SECOND
Fill a glass with water.
THIRD
Slowly lower the piece of paper behind the glass of water.
FOURTH
Look through the glass of water and watch what happens.
What happens?
The scientific concept that is at work in this experiment is called refraction, which means
the bending of light. Refraction occurs when light travels from one medium into another.
During the experiment, the light traveled from the image through the air, then through the
glass cup into the water, and finally out of the glass cup and into the air once more before
it reached our eyes.
This means that the light bends once when it traveled through the glass cup into the water,
and then it bends again when it traveled out of the glass cup and into the air. As a result,
the light paths cross and the image appears to be flipped horizontally (left/right).
UNIT 3
SUBJECT: CALCULUS
There's a variety of things you can do with these flashcards. You can study, play a memory
game. In addition, you can find its equivalent terminology in Spanish and they can help
you study for your future Mathematics exams. Good Luck! Don't fail!
