Lesson 1.1
Vocabulary: Describing

Objective: To use adjectives to describe different objects.

 Lesson 1.2
Grammar: Galapagos is smaller than Quito

Objective: To make comparisons with regular shorter adjectives + “er”

Comparative adjectives are words used to compare the difference between 2 things. Example:
Smaller-bigger
To make a comparative word you must change the adjective to the comparative form. small-smaller
Rules:
1. With regular one syllable adjectives, we add -er to make the comparative form.
Example:
Fast-Faster

2. With adjectives that end with a single vowel followed by a single consonant, the consonant
is doubled and -er is added.
Example:
Big-Bigger

3. With two syllable adjectives that don't end in -y, and all three syllable adjectives we add
more before the adjective.
Example:
Beautiful-More beautiful

4. Irregular adjectives don't follow these rules. So, you must memorize them.
Example:
Good-Better

Objective: To form basic adverbs by adding “-ly”to adjectives.

Adverbs are words that modify the meaning of verbs, adjectives and other adverbs and serve to
give more specific details about what you want to express.

There are several ways to form adverbs, but the general rule is to add to an adjective the ending "-
ly", "-ily" and "-ically" depending on the consonant with which it ends.
Add-ly to any adjective to form an adverb. Example: Slow- slowly. Sincere- sincerely

Change –e to –y in adjectives ending in a consonant +le, to form an adverb. Example:

Responsible-responsably. Probable-probably.
Change –y to –i in two syllables adjectives to form an adverb. Example: Happy-happily. Lucky-
luckily
When an adjective ends in –l doublé the –l to form an adverb. Example: Careful-carefully.
Beautiful-beautifully
There are some exceptions to the –ly ending to form adverb. Example: Good-well. Fast-fastly

Grammar: Who wants an ice cream?

Objective: To ask wh-questions about the subject.

Wh Questions
Considered as adverbs in the correct grammar sense but also as pronouns, adjectives and
exclamations in some cases.
We use Wh question words to give specific information concerning specific requests. We call them
Wh question words because those specific adverbs begin with the letters Wh. There are 6 Wh
words. There is also the adverb How that is also considered as a specific question words but not a
Wh word.
There are 6 Wh question words. Each one expresses a specific notion or answer which is specified
in the question. Those words are: What-Where-When-Why-Who-Wich.
What: What is used in a question to express a notion about something or the nature of that thing.
It refers to an object, a pastime or hobby, a sport, a quality, to enumerate only a few. But it never
refers to a person. In using what we are looking for a thing. Example:
● What color is your shirt?
● What time is it ?

● What is your telephone number ?

● What is your favourite dish?
Where: Where is used in a question to express a specific place, a specific address that the person
wants to know. It can also be used to know the intention of one’s moving or traveling. Example:
● Where are you going on you vacation ?
● Where do you play golf ?
● Where do you live?
● Where are you moving to ?
When: When is used in a question to express what a person wants to know about the specific time
or moment of an action that is occurring or that has occurred. Example:
● When are you going to school ?
● When was the Second World War fought ?
● When did you get married ?
Why: Why is used in a question to refer to the reason of an occurred action or event. It also refers
to the cause of the occurred event or action. This event or action has been done or is taking place.
Past tense and compound verbs are used in the question.
Example:
● Why did you break this window ?
● Why were you late ?
● Why are you skating ?
● Why are you crying ?

Who: Who is used in a question to refer to a person (subject ) that is doing an action. Who can
only be used in questions requesting the name of a person. Example:
● Who is this Doctor ?
● Who is she ?
● Who is the new student ?
● Who did you talk to yesterday ?
Which: Which is used in a question to express a choice or a preference about the likes and dislikes
of a person. Often, in the question, the person will have the choice of two or more things.
Example:
● Which do you prefer in your coffee, milk or cream ?
● Which colours do you want for your bedroom ?

How: How is known as being an adverb. Nevertheless, it is still used as a question word. In the
question it expresses the manner in which an action is done, a person is feeling and/or a means of
transportation.
● How are you feeling today ?
● How can you run 10 miles without being tired ?

● How are you going to the party tonight ?

Lesson 3.3
Reading: Rebel guys
Objective: To identify specific information in a simple factual text.
Students can identity a lot of information about the behavior, attitude of adolescents and
teenagers.
A) Read the article quickly and choose the best title for the text.

Nowadays, the antisocial behavior of children or teenagers is considered a serious

problem all over the world. It is caused by economic, social and cultural factors. They
affect especially marginal sectors of urban areas in many cities, where children are
exposed to violence either as observers or as victims. This results in serious cases of
juvenile delinquency.
Our country is also affected by this situation. Although most legal systems prescribe
specific procedures for dealing with young criminals such as detention centers, the first
step to control this group is to promote campaigns planned to sensitize youth about the
negative effects of violence in their familiar nucleus and community. It is also important
to focus on the family and its main role in the prevention of juvenile delinquency and the
necessity of communicate without violence.
The Ecuadorian government should generate plans focused on education, employment
and leisure programs, as well as assisted guides for those girls and boys who come from
broken families or have dropped out school.
It is not enough to have laws that repress disorientated adolescents, but also provide
measures to show equality and justice by creating an atmosphere of hope and peace for
our children.

Lesson 1.2
Grammar: She called me while I was taking a shower

Objective: To distinguish between simple past and past continuous.

THE SIMPLE PAST
The simple past is used in two circumstances:
1. To describe an event that already occurred.
2. To describe a block of time that already occurred.
Examples:

1) I worked late last night at the store. (One-time event)

2) My father worked 10 years for the same company. (Block of time)
The past continuous is a verb tense that differs from the simple past. The past progressive refers
to an action that took place in the past and has a continuous, progressive aspect.
To create the past continuous, you need verb (to be) that matches the subject.
+ The form of the main verb ending in [-ing]
Examples:

Lucy was travelling through Europe.

Robert was studying for the history examen.
Both past simple and past continuous can be used when one action interrupts another one.
Examples:
The boy was doing homework when his friends arrived and invited to play.
She called me while I was taking a shower.
