Presentation
Our country, like other nations in the world, is driving a significant Education Reform, whose primary
objective is to ensure that all children and young people exercise their right to high-quality education
and receive contents and skills that allow them to obtain the learning needed to face the challenges
of the XXI century.

In the design of the corresponding Reform, the


elaboration of the plans and study programs for
compulsory schooling is established as an obligation,
so that it finds a dimension of pedagogical and
curricular concretion in the classrooms. In the New
Educational Model, given the relevance that society
sees in education as an enhancer of personal and
social development, a key element is the creation
of new curricula for compulsory public education
in general and High School Education (HSE), as
well as the programs by subject. As pointed out by
Reimers and Cárdenas (2016), it is in the definition
of 'competency' incorporated to the curriculum where
the articulation, pertinence, and correlation with the national educational goals established by the
educational systems, such as the Mexican one, are observed. There is evidence that the current
Educational Model of Higher Secondary Education does not respond to the present or future needs
of young people.

Currently, teaching is directed strictly by the teacher: it is impersonal, homogeneous and prioritizes
the accumulation of knowledge and not the achievement of deep learning outcomes fragmented in
academic semesters, classes, subjects, and memory is prioritized, with the consequent accumulation
of disconnected contents; knowledge governed a strict calendar of activities in which students are
told, rigorously, what to do and what not to do, and new technologies incorporated into old practices.

All this produces disjoin knowledge with limited applicability, relevance, pertinence, and
validity in the daily life of the students, as well as post- evaluation amnesia instead of significant
and profound learning.

Nowadays, young people from HSE move towards adult life in a world that evolves from a
knowledge society towards a learning and innovation society (Joseph Stiglitz, 2014, Ken Robinson,
2015, Richard Gerver, 2013; and Marc Prensky, 2015, among others). They process vast amounts
of information at high speed, understand and use, simultaneously, the technology that is part of

6
their daily environment, and that is relevant to their
interests. Because of this, High School Education must
overthrow the misconnection with the curriculum, school
and students, since it could lead to educational problems
such as low results, failures and school dropouts.

As a result, it is necessary to understand firstly young


people have different learning backgrounds and abilities
(they are not a homogeneous group) that need to be
strengthened to develop analytical, critical, reflective,
synthetic and creative thinking, in opposition to the
scheme that points only to memorization. It also becomes pivotal to change the evaluation schemes
that leave many students behind and that do not measure the gradual development of learning and
competencies to successfully respond to the current dynamism that young people need to face to
overcome the challenges of the present and the future.

Secondly, a relevant and dynamic curriculum is required, which focuses on youth and their
learning, and emphasizes that they are the architects of their education, instead of the current one
that is segmented and limited by disciplinary fields. Therefore, the school needs to transform itself to
incorporate the new ways in which young people learn and continue to do so in the classroom and
teaching practice (Gerver, 2013; Prensky, 2013); if the school does not do it, it will be increasingly
relegated from reality every day.

Curriculum and syllabus suffered a transformation in the Integral Reform of High School Education
in Mexico is known as (RIEMS) to fulfill its original rationale; however, the results of national and
international evaluations show that the endeavored has not been sufficient and that progress has not
been made in the development of core competences which are fundamental for the development of
people and society.

Therefore, Public Education Department, through the Deputy of High School Education, proposed
to modify the syllabus basic training component of General and Technological Baccalaureate in all
disciplinary fields that forms the HSE curriculum.

The work was carried out based on an integral and cross-disciplinary vision, implied of this
continuum in opposition to the disjunction with traditionally approach. Students are in the center
of the educational activities with a Learning Network (“Key Learning Points") set up for each field

7
of discipline. This network operates in the classroom through a Learning Community in which the
change of roles is fundamental: to pass from a passive student to a proactive one and with critical
thinking; and from an instructor teacher to one that is a "learning guide."

This change is vital because students learn better, when they are engaged, this doesn´t happen,
when lessons are centered, mainly, when the teacher take the word and students and do not receive
feedback from students and they became passive.

Another factor to consider is subject and content transformation allows the connection with
school and young people real world development. It is important to mention, the Public Education
Department in the national consultation process the Collegiate Teacher Academies throughout the
country attended to the call, and all the experiences, observations, and recommendations from the
academy were for the New High School Education Curriculum designing.

The world consensus indicates the purpose of education is not only to memorize curricular
content, but also students have to develop “soft skills” to set goals and achieve them. They
must be instructed in such way they “can learn to learn”, to think critically, to act and to live with
others to achieve significant challenges, regardless of the area of knowledge they are studying
(Prensky, 2013).

The contents of the subjects are relevant because they encourage and guide the development of
skills, abilities, and skills; however, in the current curriculum, fundamental aspects that allow young
people to respond to the challenges of the present and prepare for the future have been left aside.

Several authors have devoted many pages to listing the skills, and abilities they must develop to
respond to the challenges of the present. In this sense, they coincide in need to promote collaboration,
creativity, communication, entrepreneurial spirit, problem-solving skills, social responsibility, the use
of technology, perseverance, honesty, determination, flexibility to adapt to changing environments,
leadership, and innovation.

In society, there is a perception that education is increasingly essential


for the development of people and organizations. Based on an international
survey referred to in the study Teaching and Learning in the XXI century:
Goals, Educational Policies and Curricula in Six Countries (2016), a
higher percentage of developing economies, compared to those
already produced, consider that a good education "is important to
get ahead in life" (Reimers and Chung, 2016).
8
Finally, to promote the realization of this perception about the social relevance of education, it is
imperative that the experience of young people in school be relevant. For this reason, the Higher
Secondary Education, through an up-to-date curriculum, puts students' learning at the center of
institutional efforts, promotes the achievement of the four functions and the four purposes of this
educational level.

CECyTEBC is an institution that assumes responsibility, is committed to youth, and creates an


educational setting that provides students with a higher education level, with quality and appropriate
conditions for their learning development. It offers students educational options, where they can
find the path to improvement and the necessary support that enables them to enter the labor
market as professional technicians, as well as the possibility to plan and continue their academic
education in any university nationwide.

The document you hold in your hands is the result of the effort and commitment from the teaching
staff of our high school, to provide quality materials for your learning. With the elaboration of the
English Guide II, we reinforce our commitment to continue to strive to provide our students with
quality learning materials that allow them to continue and further their studies, as well as to be able
to conclude this important stage of their development in a satisfactory manner.

At the end of the second semester, the students will use the elements of language to express
the activities they are doing now, in the past, and to share or request personal information
from other people with simple phrases and tasks that require a simple and direct exchange
of information of their environment and immediate needs. In addition, they will continue
practicing the language skills to achieve an efficient interaction with students and to promote
the collaborative work with others.

LESSON 3: GRAMMAR

Adverbs of frequency
They tell us how often an activity is carried out and are represented by a percentage.
In a sentence an adverb of frequency may have different positions depending on
the same adverb of frequency and/or the verb being used in the sentence, as you
may observe in the following information.
 
If the main verb is the verb “to be”, the adverb of frequency is placed right after it.
Structure: Subject + verb “to be” + adverb of frequency + complement.

Example: She is always late.


 
If the main verb is any verb except the verb “to be”, the adverb of frequency has to
be placed before it.

Structure: Subject + adverb of frequency + main verb + complement.

Example: He never arrives on time.

The adverbs of frequency “occasionally, sometimes, often, frequently and


usually” can also go at the beginning or end of a sentence.

Example: Sometimes, they come and stay with us.

They come and stay with us sometimes.

“Rarely and seldom” can also go at the end of a sentence often with "very".

Example: We see them rarely.

John eats meat very seldom.

24
UNIT 1• Daily Routines

When we use an auxiliary verb or modal auxiliary (am, is, are, have, will, must,
might, could, would, can, etc.), the adverb is placed between the auxiliary and
the main verb.

Structure: Subject + auxiliary verb / modal auxiliary + adverb of


frequency + complement.

Example: She can sometimes beat me in a race.


I would hardly ever be unkind to someone.
I might never see each other again.
They could occasionally be heard laughing.

We cannot use always, seldom, rarely, hardly ever, never at the beginning of a


sentence.
We can never use these adverbs at the beginning of a sentence.

The adverbs of frequency percentage can be observed in the following board.

Frequency Adverb of Frequency Example


100% always I always go to bed before 11 p.m.
90% usually I usually have cereal for breakfast.
80% normally / generally I normally go to the gym.
70% often* / frequently I often surf the internet.
50% sometimes I sometimes forget my wife's birthday.
30% occasionally I occasionally eat junk food.
10% seldom I seldom read the newspaper.
5% hardly ever / rarely I hardly ever drink alcohol.
0% never I never swim in the sea.

LESSON 6: GRAMMAR

Imperative verbs or action verbs


Imperative verbs instruct people to do something. They usually come at
the beginning of sentences that are used to give commands, a warning or
recommendation, and (if you use “please”) to make a request.

EXAMPLES

Orders
“Sit down now!” “Come here!”

Warnings
“Watch out!” “Look out!”

Recommendation
“Eat an apple – it’s much better for you than a biscuit!”
“Don’t tell him you’re resigning now! Wait until Monday when he’s in a
better mood.”

Travelling long-distance
Do try to sleep well the night before
Do try to walk about the plane during the flight
Don’t wear restrictive clothing

Requests
“Please wait here.” “Please hold the line.”

With “let’s” before the verb


“Let’s stop now.” “Let’s have some lunch.”

Second Semester
English II

Characteristics

Imperative verbs command others to do something, many people call them, ''bossy
verbs.''

They come at the beginning of imperative sentences in the simple present form
without any inflection; this is, in its base form.

These verbs can also be paired with the word ''don't'' with the same use of the
verb. So, we can say, ''Talk loud when you present your project,'' or ''Don't talk while
someone else is presenting.''

They can also be paired with the word, ''please.'' We can say, ''Get me a glass of
water,'' or ''Please, get me a glass of water.''

We were happy to live in the valley and enjoy nature. The days were usually hot
and sunny.

My father worked in the field and farmed the land, and my mother cooked our food,
cleaned the house, washed our clothes and walked us to school. I was very happy
living there. My brothers were always very shy. They were at home all the time.

When I was a teenager, I was very tall, was 1.70 m almost as tall as my father was.
My brothers were short, maybe because my mother was short too. When I was 17
years old, we moved to Tijuana and started a new life. I really miss my old home I

Simple Past
https://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/simplepast.html

The simple past (also called past simple, past indefinite or preterite) is used to show
that a completed action took place at a specific time in the past. It is also frequently
used to talk about past habits and generalizations. Read the following for detailed
description and examples.

The simple past is formed using the verb + ed for Regular Verbs:


Questions are made with did and negative forms are made with did not.

· Statement: You called Debbie.
· Question: Did you call Debbie?
· Negative: You did not call Debbie.

Regular Verb Simple Past Test Past Participle


jump jumped has jumped
Irregular Verb Simple Past Test Past Participle
arise arose arisen

Simple Past Uses


USE 1 Completed Action in the Past
To express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in the past.
Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the specific time, but they do
have one specific time.

EXAMPLES

· I saw a movie yesterday. I didn't see a play yesterday.


· Last year, I traveled to Japan. Last year, I didn't travel to Korea.
· Did you have dinner last night? She washed her car.

45
Second Semester
English II

USE 2 A Series of Completed Actions


To list a series of completed actions in the past. These happen 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,
and so on.

EXAMPLES

· I finished work, walked to the beach, and found a nice place to swim.


· He  arrived from the airport at 8:00, checked into the hotel at 9:00,
and met me at 10:00.
· Did you add flour, pour in the milk, and then add the eggs?

USE 3 Duration in the Past


It can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. A duration is a
longer action often indicated by expressions such as: for two years, for five minutes,
all day, all year, etc.

EXAMPLES

· I lived in Canada for two years. Shauna studied English for five years.


· They sat at the beach all day. They did not stay at the party the entire time.
· We talked on the phone for thirty minutes.
· A: How long did you wait for them?
· B: We waited for one hour.

USE 4 Habits in the Past


It can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past. To make it clear
that we are talking about a habit, we often add expressions such as: always, often,
usually, never, when I was a child, when I was younger, etc.

EXAMPLES

· I studied German when I was a child.


· He played the violin.
· He didn't play the piano.
· Did you play a musical instrument when you were a kid?
· She worked at the movie theater after school.
· They never went to school, they always skipped class.

UNIT 2 • Our Past

RULES TO FORM THE PAST TENSE OF REGULAR VERBS

The general rule states to add –ed to most of the regular verbs to form their past
tense, but there are some exceptions to this rule as follows:

I). - If the verb ends in “e” just add “d”

Example: erase-erased bake-baked

II). - If the verb ends in consonant + vowel + consonant, double the last consonant
and add “ed”, only if the last syllable has the stress sound. (except w, x, y)

Example: stop – stopped tip – tipped


*notice that: open- opened listen – listened (stressed sound in the first syllable)

III). - If the verbs ends in “y” preceded by a consonant, change the “y’ to “i” and
add –ed.

Example: study – studied try – tried


*notice that: play – played obey – obeyed

*You can browse the web for videos about practicing pronunciation of the
regular verbs.

to get to San Ysidro. The nice houses and clean
streets fascinated her. When she got to San Ysidro,
she wanted to eat something because she was very
hungry, so she ordered a hamburger and can of soda
at a fast food restaurant. Then she took the train to
Los Angeles.

Alonzo Sanchez made a trip to Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. He flew from Phoenix,
Arizona via Los Angles, Ca. He got off from one plane and got on to another. It took
him 6 hours to get to his destination. When he arrived to his hotel, it was time to
check in so he registered and paid with a credit card. Then he took a shower, got
dressed and went down stairs to eat at the restaurant. After he ate, he met some
friends at the lobby and made arrangements to go out and have a couple of drinks
in a bar nearby. He got back late that night.

The following day he woke up, had breakfast and took a tour to “El Eden”, where the
movie “Terminator 1“was filmed. Later that day he also went to “Mismaloya Beach”
where Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton had a romance there while filming the
movie “La Noche de la Iguana”.

On the third day, he took a trip by boat to the islands around Puerto Vallarta. He ate,
danced and drank during the trip that lasted all day. He returned to his hotel around
7 p.m. and slept until 8 a.m. the next day. He spent another 3 days walking around
the city and visited the municipal Market where he bought souvenirs for his friends
in Arizona. He walked around the beach boardwalk every night. He was very happy
there and he hopes to come back sometime next year.

LESSON 1: GRAMMAR

Past Continuous

USE 1 Interrupted Action in the Past

Use the past continuous to indicate that a longer action in the past was interrupted.
The interruption is usually a shorter action in the simple past. Remember this can
be a real interruption or just an interruption in time.

EXAMPLES

· I was watching TV when she called.


· When the phone rang, she was writing a letter.
· While we were having the picnic, it started to rain.
· What were you doing when the earthquake started?

56
UNIT 3 • Past Continuous

USE 2 Specific Time as an Interruption

In USE 1, described above, the past continuous is interrupted by a shorter action in


the simple past. However, you can also use a specific time as an interruption.

EXAMPLES

· Last night at 6 PM, I was eating dinner.


· At midnight, we were still driving through the desert.
· Yesterday at this time, I was sitting at my desk at work.

IMPORTANT NOTE
In the simple past, a specific time is used to show when an action began or finished.
In the past continuous, a specific time only interrupts the action.

EXAMPLES

· Last night at 6 PM, I ate dinner.

· Last night at 6 PM, I was eating dinner.

USE 3 Parallel Actions

When you use the past continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it
expresses the idea that both actions were happening at the same time. The actions
are parallel.

EXAMPLES

· I was studying while he was making dinner.


· While Ellen was reading, Tim was watching television.
· Were you listening while he was talking?
· What were you doing while you were waiting?

USE 4 Atmosphere

In English, we often use a series of parallel actions to describe the atmosphere at


a particular time in the past.

EXAMPLES

· When I walked into the office, several people were busily typing, some were
talking on the phones, the boss was yelling directions, and customers
were waiting to be helped. One customer was yelling at a secretary and
waving his hands. Others were complaining to each other about the bad
service.

58
UNIT 3 • Past Continuous

USE 5 Repetition and Irritation with "Always"

The past continuous with words such as "always" or "constantly" expresses the
idea that something irritating or shocking often happened in the past. The concept
is very similar to the expression used to but with negative emotion. Remember to
put the words "always" or "constantly" between "be" and "verb+ing."

EXAMPLES

· She was always coming to class late.


· He was constantly talking. He annoyed everyone.
· I didn't like them because they were always complaining.

LESSON 4: READING AND WRITING

Read the following story. Then answer the questions on the following page.

Hannah met Jamie in the summer of 2004. It was Hannah’s 21st birthday, she
and her friends went to a club, they wanted to dance. They didn’t like the music so
Hannah went to speak to the DJ. ‘This music is awful,’ she said. ‘Could you play
something else? The DJ looked at her and said ‘Don’t worry; I have the perfect song
for you.’

Two minutes later he said: ‘The next song is by Coldplay. It’s called Yellow and it’s
for a beautiful girl who is dancing over there.’ Hannah knew that the song was for
her because she was wearing a yellow dress. When Hannah and her friends left the
club the DJ was waiting at the door. ‘Hi, I’m Jamie,’ he said to Hannah. ‘Can I see
you again?’ So Hannah gave him her phone number.

The next day Jamie phoned Hannah and invited her to dinner. He took her to a
very romantic French restaurant and they talked all evening. After that Jamie and
Hannah saw each other every day. Every evening when Hannah finished work, they
met at 5:30 at a coffee bar on High Street. They were madly in love.

One evening in October, Hannah was at work. As usual, she was going to meet
Jamie at 5:30. It was dark and it was raining. She looked at her watch. It was 5:20!
She was going to be late! She ran to her car and got in. At 5:25 she was driving
along High Street. She was going very fast because she was in a hurry. Suddenly,
a man ran across the road. He was wearing a dark coat and Hannah didn’t see him
until it was too late. Although she tried to stop, she hit the man. Hannah panicked.
She didn’t stop and she drove to the coffee bar as fast as she could. However, when
she arrived Jamie wasn’t there. She phoned him, but his mobile was turned off, so
she waited for ten minutes and then went home.

Two hours later a police car arrived at Hannah’s house. A policewoman knocked
at the door. ‘Good evening, Madam,’ she said, ‘Are you Hannah Davis? I’d like to
speak to you. Can I come in?’

LESSON 12: READING

Find the word could in the text below, underline it. Then complete the sentences.

My Father’s School Days

My father’s secondary school was about a mile and a half from his house, so
he used to go to school on his bike. When the weather was bad, he could take
the bus, but he didn’t like to do that. It was always crowded and full of cigarette
smoke. His mother used to give him money for the bus, so he liked to save the
money and ride his bike instead!

At lunchtime he could stay at school and eat his packed lunch. Instead, he used
to ride to his grandmother’s house and have lunch with her and his grandfather.
It used to be a good way to break up the day. He would eat his lunch quickly, so
he could race back and play soccer with his friends before classes began again.

It was a strict school. It was the 1970s and the older teachers had experienced
even stricter and more traditional teaching than he had. They didn’t see the
need to change things. My father says that they weren’t allowed to run in the
corridors or around the school, and they had to stand up when the teacher came
into the classroom.

My father was afraid of the principal and his two prefects. They had complete
control and yet there was no corporal punishment. Punishments used to be
extra written work––anessay––or detentions. It’s amazing to think that you
could be told to stay behind after school for an hour, and there would be no way
to warn your parents. The written punishments could be tough and my father
remembers getting quite a few. His class, in general, was always in trouble and
they were always in detention.

1. Nacho’s father could get to school_______________or___________________.

2. At lunchtime, he could eat ________________or with ___________________.

3. After lunch, he could ______________________and with his friends.

4. Prefects could keep him after school ________________________________

A man lived on the fourteenth floor of a


building. Every day he took the elevator
to the ground floor to go to work. When
he returned, he took the elevator to the
tenth floor and walked up the stairs to his
apartment on the fourteenth floor. Example:
Maybe the elevator could have been
He hated walking, so why did he do it? broken on that floor, so he could have
only been able to arrive to his apartment
by walking.

Maybe the man could have had a friend


to visit on the tenth floor, so he left the
elevator in order to go to his friend’s
house for a while, and then he was able
to continue by walking to his apartment.
