 4. Deadpool
Deadpool is a very interesting character. His history is quite tragic, but
he’s quite funny and crazy. He loves chimichangas and is probably one
of Marvel’s most popular characters right now. He usually talks to the
audience, which is fun. He loves telling jokes and making buildings
explode. This doesn’t sound like your typical hero. He isn’t as popular
as Spider-Man or Superman, but his fans love him.
3. Superman
Superman is the most famous superhero. He’s the one that inspired
many other superheroes. He is an alien from planet Krypton. He fights
against super villains in Metropolis city. Superman is vulnerable when
he is in front of kryptonite.
2. Spider-Man
Spider-Man is the hero that changed it all. He isn’t a billionaire or
an alien. He isn’t as old as the other superheroes in this list. Peter
Parker was a fifteen-year-old boy with regular problems when he got
superpowers. He had to fight crime after doing his homework. He has
a very sad history, but never loses his optimism.
1. Batman
Number one is the Batman. After losing his parents he receives
their fortune and decides to fight criminals. His mind is his greatest
weapon… and of course, his money. Technology plays a very
important role for the Batman to be as powerful as any other
superhero.
Track 7. Listen to the conversation and answer the question. What
movie are they talking about?
Lucas: Wow, this is an amazing movie! I love action movies.
Gina: It is okay, but I’m not enjoying it as much as you are!
Lucas: Seriously? There are so many action sequences! It has been
exciting since the very beginning.
Gina: I prefer horror movies, to be honest.
Lucas: Oh, I see.
Gina: I wanted to watch this movie because Black Widow is my
favorite comic character. But I think I prefer her in the comic book.
Lucas: Well, that’s true. The movie is not as good as the comic.
Gina: Have you ever read Death Note?
Lucas: Mmm, no, I don’t think I have.
Gina: That’s one of my favorite comic books! It’s really exciting!
There’s a TV series and a movie.
Lucas: Maybe we can watch Death Note when we finish watching
Black Widow.
Gina: That sounds like a great plan!

Mexico’s cultural spots
Mexico is a big and beautiful country. There are many interesting
cultural locations for tourists to visit. It's impossible to talk about all
of them in just one text. For that reason, we will explore the top 5
cultural places in Mexico City.
1. National Museum of Anthropology
This museum is near Chapultepec Park. It has some of the world's most
important pre-Hispanic treasures. The museum is enormous so that
you can visit it more than once and never see the same exhibitions. If
you don’t have much time, you can take a tour with a guide.
2. La Ciudadela
This artisan market is over 50 years old and is full of color. You can
find bones, jars, and jaguar heads made with clay, wood, Huichol
decoration, traditional games, baskets made of palm leaves, vases,
pots, and Talavera plates; alebrijes, and replicas of pre-Hispanic
pieces of art. La Ciudadela is the place to visit if you want wonderful
decorations or souvenirs.
3. Chapultepec Zoo
It is Mexico’s national zoo and one of Latin America's best. Chapultepec
Zoo opened in 1924 by the Mexican scientist Alfonso L. Herrera. You
can see around 250 different wildlife species. Some animals you can
find here include the Mexican wolf, jaguar, axolotl, giant panda, and
giraffes.
4. The Floating Gardens of Xochimilco
UNESCO named Xochimilco a World Heritage Site in 1987. It's one of
the most important tourist destinations in Mexico City. Here you can
float through canals in traditional trajinera boats. During the tour, you
will find boats with mariachis, trios, and marimbas, who will offer to
play you a few songs. You will also find a lot of delicious food to eat.
5. Templo Mayor
The Templo Mayor is a museum and archaeological site. This place
was the most important temple in Tenochtitlan. Here you will
discover the largest Mexican sculpture ever found: the goddess of
the Earth, Tlaltecuhtli. You will also see a giant circular monolith that
represents the Moon goddess, Coyolxauhqui.
Track 10. Juan and Miguel are planning a vacation. Listen and
answer the questions.
Juan: I think everything’s ready for our trip.
Miguel: Not everything. I haven’t bought the bus tickets

Track 15. Read the text and answer the questions.
Have you ever thought about what shopping malls look like in other
countries? Some are spectacular, and you can do many more activities
besides shopping.
Let's start with the West Edmonton Mall in Edmonton, Canada, where
you can find 800 stores and services. This mall is 5.3 million square
feet! It includes the largest indoor amusement park and the largest
indoor waterpark in the world. You can also play on its miniature golf
course, watch a movie in the cinema, or visit the bowling alley.
Despite its enormous size, the West Edmonton Mall is not the largest
in the world. Can you guess where in the world the largest mall is? If
you thought the United States, you guessed wrong! The largest mall
22
in the world is in Iran.
The Iran Mall in Tehran is 15 million square feet! It has three hotels, a
huge library, art galleries, a theme park, a museum, a bazaar, 12 IMAX
cinemas, a car showroom, and 700 stores. It includes everything,
from sports, to culture, from nature to technology. There are also
swimming pools, tennis courts, an ice rink, and 15 sports fields. In
the middle of the mall is the Mahan Garden, a symbol of the historical
Persian Gardens.
What's the largest mall in your country?
Track 16. Steve and Angie are having lunch in the food court. Listen
to the conversation and answer the question.
Steve: I’m so hungry!

Steve: Oh no! I hate sushi. Maybe we can have a salad.
Angie: Really? A salad? That’s a side dish! I don’t like salads.
Steve: Mmm, how about a burger?
Angie: Yes! Let’s go there!
Clerk: Welcome to the Burger Palace. May I take your order?
Angie: Hi! I’d like to have the cheeseburger with fries.
Steve: Me too, please.
Angie: Make it two, please.

Steve: I’d like the chicken sandwich and fries, please.
Clerk: Would you like the Chicken Sandwich Mega Super Combo?
Steve: No, thank you. I don’t want any desserts.
Clerk: Ok. Let me repeat your order. It’s going to be a Cheeseburger

 Camping
Due to safety reasons, some people are afraid to camp in the open
air, so they set up their tent in the middle of their living room. If you
do it at night, you just need to turn off the lights, get flashlights, and
share scary or funny stories. You can even toast some marshmallows
to make it more realistic, no matter that you camp in the morning.
Bowling
Bowling is a fun activity that people enjoy a lot. Bowling alleys are
usually crowded at weekend afternoons, and they usually offer
discounts on weekday mornings. Some people have decided to
create their own mini bowling alley. All you have to do is make a ball
(with paper cardboard, etc.) and improvise some pins (empty bottles
work very well). Just make sure you have the space and do not break
anything around the house!
Picnics
This one is really easy. You need a blanket to lay down on the floor,
paper plates and cutlery, napkins, sandwiches, snacks, and drinks.
Once you've got your spread set up, consider finding some nature
sounds using YouTube or an app to make it feel like you're enjoying
your picnic in the great wild. You can change then every time you do
a picnic.
Gardening
Having your own herbal garden is not as difficult as you think. You
don't need to have a big yard or a balcony. You only need some plant
pots and some seeds. The easiest herbs and plants to grow indoors
are tomatoes, carrots, basil, cilantro, mint, rosemary, and parsley.
When your herbs are ready to use, you can use them when making
food everyday. You can check your plants' progress daily. This is a true
moment of pride that you will never forget.
Whether you decide to stay inside or go out to do these activities, the
most important thing is to enjoy and have fun.
Track 22. Miriam and Julio are talking on the phone. Listen to their
conversation and answer the question.
Julio: Hi Miriam, how are you?
Miriam: Hi Julio! I’m doing well thanks. I’m on my way to the
market.
Julio: This early in the morning on Saturday?
Miriam: Yes, I always go shopping on Saturday mornings to the
market. Everything’s fresh and there aren’t many people.
Julio: Um, good point. I was calling to see if you
wanted to have lunch today.
Miriam: Oh, I’m sorry, I’m afraid I’m busy. I’m cooking for my family
today. How about breakfast tomorrow morning?
Julio: Sorry, I’m playing soccer tomorrow morning.
What if we go to the cinema tonight?
Miriam: I would prefer going to the cinema on Friday afternoon.
I have some coupons we can use, but they are only valid on Friday
afternoons.
Julio: Okay. That sounds like a plan. What if we go listen to a band
that plays in a bar nearby after the movie?
Miriam: Sounds great!

Julio: Yes, I love listening to live music at night.
Miriam: I can do lunch tomorrow if you are free.
Julio: Sorry, I can’t. I do some volunteer work every
Sunday afternoon.
Miriam: Wow, really? That’s great! What kind of volunteering do
you do?
Julio: I plant trees and pick-up garbage in parks and green areas.
It’s really nice, you should come one.
Miriam: That sounds exhausting! I do exercise everyday in the
morning, I don’t think I have any energy left.
Julio: Well, what if we go have lunch on Friday, then the cinema,
then the bar. Is that okay?

Presenter:Welcome back to Radio QTPI. I have a special guest today,
Lisa Johnson, a full-time environmental activist. Welcome Lisa.
Lisa: Thank you for having me.
Presenter:Lisa, can you tell the people what is the issue that concerns
you the most.
Lisa: Sure. A big issue we face nowadays is the huge amount of
single-use plastic waste we create every day. I think that most people
are not aware of how much of this garbage comes out of their homes,
schools and workplaces every single day.
Presenter:Lisa, could you tell out audience what you mean by single-
use plastic?
Lisa: Of course! Single-use plastics are used only once before
they are thrown away or recycled. These items are things like plastic
bags, straws, coffee stirrers, soda and water bottles and most food
packaging.
Presenter:So these items are absolutely everywhere!
Lisa: Exactly. We produce more or less 300 million tons of
plastic each year and half of it is disposable! This kind of plastic is not
biodegradable and usually goes into a landfill where it is buried, but
it also ends up in the ocean. We produce hundreds of millions of tons
of plastic every year, most of which cannot be recycled.
Presenter:Wow! That’s terrible.
Lisa: It is. This is why I’d like people to be informed so they
reduce as much as possible single-use plastic in they daily lives.
Presenter:Can you share some ideas with us, Lisa?
Lisa: It’ll be my pleasure. There are many simple actions you can
do. If you want to make a difference, you have to change something
you do every day. If you use bar shampoo, you avoid using a plastic
bottle. You can find these shampoo bars in many supermarkets. The
amount of shampoo bottles floating in the ocean is impressive. But
this is nothing in comparison to the amount of plastic water and soda
bottles. If you carry reusable water bottles, you can reduce waste.
Presenter:I’m proud to say I always have my reusable water bottle
around. It’s really practical.
Lisa: That’s great! Another good suggestion I can make is to
avoid buying snacks in convenience stores. They are usually wrapped
in plastic and you can see those wrappers everywhere you go. If
you don’t eat snacks packed in plastic, you avoid the plastic wrap.
You can bring some snacks from home in reusable bags or reusable
containers.
Presenter:And I’m sure that makes the snacks healthier too.
Lisa: That’s true!
Presenter:Well Lisa, thank you so much for coming today.
Track 25. Read the text very quickly and see if any of the ideas you
discussed are mentioned in it.
What are you doing to save the planet?
Protecting our planet is everybody's responsibility. According to the
EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), there are many things we
can do to help make a difference in our environment every day.
Students, parents, and teachers can make a difference in reducing
waste at school. If you practice the "3 R's" of waste reduction—
reduce, reuse, and recycle—we can all do our part.
Here are some recommendations that are easy to do:
- Think green before you shop. If you reuse or recycle your materials
from last year, you will save money and help the planet.
- Buy and use school supplies made from recycled products, such as
pencil cases made from old blue jeans and binders made from old
boxes.
- If you bring your lunch to school, bring it in containers that you can
reuse instead of ones that you throw away. Carry food in reusable
plastic or cloth bags, and bring drinks in a reusable bottle instead of
bottles or cartons that you use only one time.
- When you buy food, take only what you need. Too often, extra
condiment packets and napkins go to waste.
- Remember to recycle your cans and bottles after you finish eating.
- Make posters that remind students of the importance of this
practice.
Remember that big changes start by changing the small things you
do every day.

Interviewer: Hello everybody, and welcome to "A better world",
Today's guest is an environmentalist who fights for change. Hello,
Robert, and welcome!
Robert: Thanks, Amanda.
Interviewer: Robert, please tell us about the environment and what
we can do to save it.
Robert: Well, first, it is very important to understand that every action
has consequences. For example: If we pollute the air with our cars
and factories, our planet gets hotter, and natural disasters happen.
-> Aquí puede aparecer una imagen de calentamiento global, o un
globo terráqueo con una fábrica y un coche, y luego un ejemplo de un
desastre natural (como un huracán)
If we create deforestation, the whole ecosystem of a region changes,
which causes animals and people to get endangered,
If we pollute the water, ocean species die, and ecosystems change.
Interviewer: Wow... Those actions have big consequences!
Robert: Yes, Amanda, but there are good actions that have good
consequences for our planet!
Interviewer: Really?
Robert: Yes! For example, if you use public transportation, or ride your
bike to school or work, you can reduce pollution. If you take a reusable
bag to the supermarket, you reduce plastic waste. If you don't waste
paper, you can save lots of trees!
So, my recommendations are:
1. Walk, use a bike public transportation. It's healthier and it saves the
environment. -> Se menciona el uso de transporte público y bicicleta.
Use reusable bags for everything. -> Se menciona el uso de bolsas
reutilizables en el supermercado.
Use less paper. You can read things digitally.
Interviewer: Those are good recommendations that will have a
positive impact in our world. Thanks a lot, Robert!

government declared the Constitution in 1813. They built it just after
the conquest of Tenochtitlan. The National Palace, the Metropolitan
Cathedral and the Templo Mayor surround the square, and it is the
place where most important events in the city happen.
2. Templo Mayor
When the Spaniards conquered the Aztecs, they partly destroyed
the Templo Mayor and the Great Pyramid of Tenochtitlan. Then
they made new buildings, covering it completely. When building
the metro in the 1960s they discovered the temple. Since then, the
government has worked to keep the place and show the history of
the place in its museum.
3. The National Museum of Anthropology
It is one of the most important museums in the world. It is located
in the Chapultepec Park; Pedro Ramírez Vazquez was the architect
responsible for designing and building it in 1964. You can see lots of
examples of different pre-hispanic cultures around the country in its
many rooms.
4. Chapultepec Castle
Chapultepec is Mexico City’s main and largest park. You can find
Chapultepec Castle in this park. It was the home of Emperor
Maximilian I, and it is now home to the National Museum of History.
5. Independence Monument
It is also known as ‘El Ángel de la Independencia’. In 1900 President
Porfirio Díaz ordered the construction of the monument. ‘El Ángel’
suffered some damages during an earthquake in 1957, but they
mended it so that we can still admire it to this day.

A: Where are you going next vacation?

trip. I really wanted to go.
A: Really? I’ve been there before. Mexico is an amazing place to visit.
You would love it.
B: I know. When were you there?
A: I’ve been to Mexico three times in my life. I’ve had lots of fun.
B: And what was your favorite place?
A: It is hard to say. I have visited Cancún, Mexico City, and Guadalajara.
B: Is it true that people in Mexico eat insects?
A: I don’t know. In Mexico I have eaten tacos, quesadillas, esquites,
and lots of street food, but never insects. Oh! And I have drunk tequila.
B: Did you visit Teotihuacan?
A: No. But I have seen the Chichen Itza Pyramid. It is a wonder. Hope

What is the silliest thing you’ve done?
We all like doing things correctly, right? But let’s admit it, sometimes
we do silly things that make us laugh. Or even better, we have seen
our friends do stupid things in a number of situations. Let me give
you and example: a friend of mine once got on the metro, he was
going home after a hard day at school. He found a seat and decided
to take a nap because he was tired. When he woke up, he found that
he was going in the wrong direction and was only one station from
the terminal. So he just laughed, got off the train and went back.
Obviously, he got home like an hour late. Why don’t you tell us your
stories?
Jaky
You won’t believe this, but my cousin has damaged his microwave
twice because he tries to cook a cup of instant soup, expecting it to
boil, but he forgets to add the water! LOL!
MissKath
I don’t like to admit this, but it’s happened to me three times. They
clean the glass doors at my office so well that I don’t notice they are
closed. So I’ve crashed three times against the doors. I’m only worried
one of these days I’ll break it.

Last week, when I was at the gas station there was a woman in front
of me. She was trying to fill the tank of her car but she couldn’t find
the tank cap. After a few minutes watching her, I had to go and tell
her that her car was electric! It doesn’t use gasoline!
