Competence 2. Speaking
Instructions:
 1. Create a three minute audio recording about the last trip that you took, using
the Past Simple.  Explain how you felt on the trip, what activities you
participated in, etc.  Although you will focus on the Past Simple, do not
simply make a list of any number of things you did on your trip.  Instead, talk
about your trip as if you were telling an anecdote.  Submit the recording to
your instructor.
This trip was highly anticipated by my sister and me, because the illusion that the
day would come began about a month when we made the purchase of tickets for a
concert. During all those days we talked about everything that turned our heads
when we imagined ourselves in the place and everything we had planned to do.
Arriving on the day of the trip, we had to be at the airport an hour in advance to be
able to board the plane on time but being in the waiting room we were announced
that the flight had been delayed and we would have to wait for its arrival. My sister
and I felt very excited despite the delay, that we just wanted to get to the concert
time and enjoy the moment. Finally, we arrived at my grandmother's house to get
some rest and get ready for the night, we went out to dinner, and it was time to
head to the concert venue. We felt very nervous because we participated to win a
photo with singer, and we were about to get to know him. The concert started and
we did not stop dancing and singing because seeing it live was an unforgettable
experience.
The next day, a friend invited us to witness the motorcycle competition where he
was going to participate, at the Autodromo Monterrey, in a Super Cup event where
our friend was one of the favorites to win first place. We were invited and
participated as part of our friend's team in the support area. When he started his
race, it was incredible to see the great speeds they take on the track and well, our
friend was in second place, but it was great to see him run.

2. Create a one-and-a-half-minute audio recording of a voicemail message that

you are leaving for your client, Jason Mitchell.  Context: The order he placed
will not be ready on time.   He doesn't have your contact information, so you
need to give him that in the voicemail message.
Mr. Jason Mitchell, good afternoon. Waiting you are very well. I am Giselle
Arrieta and I contact you informing you that your order will take a couple of
more days to arrive at your home since we have fallen behind with the
delivery routes. If you have any questions or any other comments, I leave
you my email: giselleg513@gmail.com,and my phone number is
5611692290. I am at your service. Hugs.

Competence 3. Reading
Instructions:
Read the following story and answer the questions in complete sentences.
A Business Trip
Michelle is a regional accounts manager for a new beverage chain in Mexico, and
she is currently spending three months at her organization’s headquarters in
California.  The purpose of her visit is to train to become an international accounts
manager.  Michelle is shadowing (following) a current international accounts
manager to learn how she works with clients and colleagues, how she analyzes
data, and how she solves problems both “at home” and in different countries.
Michelle also needs to perfect her English while in California.  She already knows a
lot of English because she attended a bilingual elementary school until she was
eleven-years-old.   However, she still needs more practice, especially with
business English.  Michelle’s pronunciation is very clear, but she gets very nervous
when people speak fast.  When this happens, sometimes she forgets words that
she already knows, and can’t respond.  This frustrates Michelle. 
Michelle attends ESL (English as a Second Language) classes three days a week
in California. She wants to learn specific vocabulary that will help her explain the
chemicals, such as phosphoric acid, that are found in some soft drinks (sodas). 
She also needs to learn how to explain why the beverages that her company
produces are a healthier option than soda.  A lot of the words she is learning relate
to chemistry and food science. Michelle’s goal is to complete a sales pitch in
English about organic energy drinks. 
Michelle has two colleagues from Mexico, Miguel and Ana, who are also training in
California.    They did not go to a bilingual elementary school, so they feel less
confident making conversation in English.  They are practicing more basic
vocabulary and survival English.  Miguel and Ana understand more than they are
able to say.  Miguel and Ana both took trips to the United States when they were
kids, and they watch some American (US) television shows. They understand a lot
of words, even though they are not ready to speak in complete sentences.  They
are not very comfortable speaking English right now, but they are learning very
fast.  Miguel and Ana get nervous when people speak too fast, and sometimes
they can’t respond. 
When Miguel, Ana and Michelle go out to dinner in California, Miguel and Ana read
the menu independently, but Michelle usually orders for the whole table.  Next time
they go out to dinner, Miguel and Ana want to surprise Michelle by ordering without
her help.
