Crossing Bridges 1

Dear Student
Welcome to our Institute!

We are pleased to introduce you to the new English textbook: “Crossing Bridges”, written by our two institutions. Our aim has
been to produce friendly material that makes you feel more comfortable with your learning process by relating or contrasting
your own world and context with that of the foreign language.
The book you have in your hands is not only the result of the work carried out by a number of highly experienced teachers
but it is also based on research findings among former students in order to learn what they would like to find in their textbook
when learning this language.
We do hope to have been able to capture some of their ideas about the content, the activities, cultural readings and others
so as to contribute with more knowledge about the world in general but also about the world of English.
Succeed in English with joy!

handshake – hug – kiss – bow liar to you? When is it OK to be informal or
formal?
We use greetings to say hello and goodbye in English. Greetings are

important in all cultures. We can use different greetings for a friend,
family or a business associate. For friends, use informal greetings.
We use formal greetings with people you do not know very well
or business. Actions are also important in greetings. In Chile and
England we give a handshake for formal greetings. In Chile, for informal
greetings we kiss more than in England. In Japan, people bow to show
respect.
Grammar:
Example: 3c. Look at the greetings on the cover page and classify

How does our memory work?
"Memory is the process of maintaining information over time.” (Matlin,
2005)
Storage
“Memory is the means by which we draw on our past experiences in
order to use this information in the present’ (Sternberg, 1999). The janitor organises his day according to the urgency of the

information to our previous knowledge. Our short-term memory (STM)
has a very limited capacity. Between seven and nine pieces of information
at the same time.
Storage
We need to store in our long term memory (LTM) by "chunking", using
different strategies. It’s easier to remember "I have breakfast in the
morning" than to remember every word separately.
Repeat to remember - remember to repeat.

by the National Fund for Regional Development and Enap (the
Chilean government owned oil company). It will cost about six
million dollars.
The plan begins with three turbines, 80 metres tall and which
should contribute some 10 MW in total. This is the equivalent to
the consumption of 6,000 homes, and an annual production of
39.420 MW. The generated power will be interconnected to the
Punta Arenas grid by the Pecket Energy distribution company.
Authorities recalled that Punta Arenas, in 2013, was heading for a
major heating and energy emergency. The reason was Argentina’s
decision to cut gas supplies at the moment that local deposits
were running out. Enap drilled successfully and ensured the region
gas for the next twenty years. With this alternative energy project,
the horizon now reaches 2040.
With the first stage of the Cabo Negro wind farm, the 2% alternative
energy contribution can increase to 18% of local consumption.
