PRESENTACIÓN

El Colegio de Estudios Científicos y Tecnológicos del Estado de San Luis Potosí, la


Academia de Inglés y su colegiado de profesores quienes comprometidos con la calidad
educativa, han implementado acciones que apoyan el desarrollo académico de sus
estudiantes al elaborar la Guía V de aprendizaje de Inglés, en conformidad con el Programa
Vigente y los lineamientos establecidos por la Reforma Integral de la Educación Media
Superior (RIEMS) y el Marco Curricular Común (MCC)

“Por ello, las nuevas versiones de los programas destacan los aprendizajes que permitan a
los jóvenes articular conceptos, procedimientos y actitudes que favorezcan el desarrollo de
sus capacidades, tanto para continuar en la educación superior y transitarla con éxito, como
para incorporarse al trabajo con una formación que les permita ejercer plenamente su
ciudadanía, tomar decisiones de manera responsable y mejorar su calificación profesional” .

“Actualmente el idioma inglés es el que se prefiere en la ciencia en general, y más del 80%
de la información en Internet la encontramos en inglés. El aprendizaje de este idioma debe
contribuir al desarrollo intelectual del alumno, esto es, al conocer una lengua extranjera se le
proporciona al individuo ventajas y herramientas para un eficiente desenvolvimiento personal,
profesional y académico. Se espera que gradualmente se vaya despertando en el alumno el
interés por aprender el idioma, al desarrollar diversas habilidades en cada asignatura, y
mediante este proceso se pueda llegar al objetivo de que el estudiante comprenda y se
comunique en un inglés básico” 1

identificación es capital, pues su eficaz aplicación permite al lector ser más eficiente.

IDENTIFICACIÓN DE LAS ESTRATEGIAS DE LECTURA

Las estrategias de lectura y los propósitos del lector, están estrechamente relacionados, su
identificación es muy importante porque su aplicación permite al lector ser más eficiente.

TIPOS DE LECTURA

Mirada superficial. Cuando se hojea una publicación con el fin de determinar si nos interesa o no.
Esta incluye toda la información gráfica y tipográfica- tipo y tamaño de letra, dibujos, fotos o
diagramas, etc. (surveing).

Lectura global. Para obtener una idea general; consiste en un recorrido rápido del texto a fin de
formar una idea de cómo está organizado (la primera plana del periódico, por ejemplo) (skimming).

Lectura rápida o de exploración. Para encontrar información específica; solo una idea, un hecho,
un detalle específico, una pista para después continuar en velocidad normal. Es encontrar cierta
información entre varios elementos (fechas, datos bibliográficos, etc.) (scanning).

Lectura detallada. Que se realiza normalmente con propósito de estudio (search reading).

Lectura de anticipación. Que consiste en tratar de adivinar lo que continuará en el texto, es la


síntesis de visión y comprensión, ( Prediction)

Inferencia. Cuando se trata de deducir, de sacar una conclusión, de pasar de una hipótesis a otra,
(inference)

Referencia. Consiste en la capacidad de relacionar una palabra con otra, un párrafo con otro
descubriendo así la red de significación de un texto. (reference)

APLICACIÓN DE LAS ESTRATEGIAS DE LECTURA
I.- Predicción

Apoyo Visual: Distribución del texto, forma en que está presentada la información: títulos,
subtítulos, división en párrafos, en un solo bloque, etc., reconocimiento tipográfico, todos los
elementos gráficos que conforman un texto, tipo y tamaño de letra, dibujos, fotos, etc.

De contenido a partir de: título o subtítulo, la primera línea del texto, una lectura global del
texto, para obtener una idea general. (skimming)

II.- Determinar el valor comunicativo del texto

Propósito del lector: el tipo de lectura está en función de las necesidades del lector.

Función del texto: determinar el valor comunicativo de un texto sin lo cual no es posible su
comprensión cabal. El lector debe determinar si este texto proporciona: información,
instrucción, sugerencia, etc.

Situación de comunicación: permite la ubicación del texto, respondiendo a las preguntas:


¿qué?, ¿quién?, ¿dónde? y ¿cuándo?

Diferenciar entre hecho (objetivo) y opinión (subjetivo): discriminar entre los hechos y las
opiniones.

III.- Estrategias para extraer información

Estrategias de vocabulario: Uso de cognados6 y falsos cognados, deducción del significado


de palabras desconocidas haciendo uso del:
Contexto: sinonimia, antonimia, hiperordinación, subordinación
Formación de palabras: compuestos y derivados con afijos, sufijos y prefijos.

Palabras que se repiten dentro de un texto

Uso de referentes, tales como pronombres que se refieren a algo ya mencionado o que se
va a mencionar.

Uso de conectores, son palabras que establecen relaciones entre las oraciones
(enunciados) y párrafos que forman el texto.

6
Palabras que tienen igual escritura y significado a las palabras en español, los falsos cognados difieren en el significado.

Página
Página de

Extracción de información específica (scanning), localizar en qué párrafo se encuentra la
información y leerlo con más atención.

Anticipación: El alumno se detiene en un párrafo y anticipa qué dirá el que sigue.

Transcodificar información: Consiste en pasar información esquematizada en diagramas,

Changing roles: stay –at – home dads

British mechanic Neil Walkingshaw was looking for a way to care for his newborn child when
he approached his boss with a proposal in early 2000. Reluctant to hire a babysitter once his
wife’s maternity leave ended and she returned to work, Walkingshaw asked if he could switch
to part-time hours in order to spend half of each day at home looking after his son. His
employer refused, saying the paperwork would be “too messy” and that it would be difficult to
get anyone to share Walkingshaw’s job. Knowing that the company he worked for had
granted similar requests to female employees, Walkingshaw sued on the grounds of sex
discrimination. On November 20, 2001, an industrial tribunal ruled that Walkingshaw had
been discriminated against and awarded him 3600 pounds. The ruling is believed to be the
first of its kind, and demonstrates just how much views on parental roles have changed over
the years.

Studies have also found that the presence of the father in the home can contribute to lower
juvenile crime rates, a decrease in child poverty, and lower rates of teenage pregnancy.
Differences in parenting styles between men and women are also believed to contribute to
children’s ability to understand and communicate emotions in different ways. The research
supports claims by some groups that the absence of a father in the family is the single biggest
social problem in modern society.

In recent years, organizations like the U.S. –based National Fatherhood Initiative have begun
to argue that the presence of the father is vital to a child’s development. These organizations
aim to encourage fathers to take a more active role in their children’s lives. The movement
also calls for the creation of a new image of fatherhood, one that goes beyond the traditional
view of the father solely as provider, and also includes the equally crucial roles of nurtures,
moral example, disciplinarian and teacher.

What is Mechatronics?

It is a Japanese word which combines the words: mechanics and electronics. The
mechatronics consists of the following four areas:

Processing information area:


Taking as an example an automatic machine, the area of information relates to a control unit.
Typical control units are personal computers, microcomputers and programmable controllers
and so on. Also the content related to the elements and logic circuits, are used including the
inside of a servo amplifier or D / A converter.

Sensors Area(s):
The existence of an object, the latest speed detection and visual sensors using cameras are
widely used in several areas. Taking a CNC machine tool as an example, can be cited, a
proximity switch, magnetic scale rotary machine (rotary).

Area of actuators:
When an object moves, actuator must be determined to consider the speed, accuracy and
stability required at the time. Therefore, requires knowledge of the correct actuator. As a
typical actuator various types of electric motors, are cited for example, DC servo motor, servo
AC motor and so on. In the actual plant or machinery, air cylinders and / or water are widely
used

Machine area:
In a production plant, the machine itself is a machine tool or general purpose machine tools.
Since the machine itself is regarded in other words as the mechanism of the interface or
mechanical interface.

Exercise 1:

Informative texts
They are those texts which reveal the most important events that occur in the different fields
of science and technology, arts, sports, etc.

You can find this type of texts in newspapers and magazines; informative texts allow us to
know important events what happened? who? how? when? where? and why?

Descriptive texts
They are those in which descriptions are used to make the message be understood better.
There are three types of description:

1. Physics: It occurs by means of an illustration with the names of each of the parts that
comprise the described object.

2. Process: Provides the sequence or the phase in which a process or phenomenon occurs,
in some occasions is represented by a diagram and using arrow keys.

3. Function: In this type of description is detailed the function or activity carried out by
different parts of the subject matter; usually includes a process or physical description.

The digestive tract is a long tube, with important glands

embedded, that transform the complex food molecules into
simple and easily usable substances by the body.

These simple nutritional compounds are absorbed by the

At the exit of the stomach, the digestive tract extends with the small intestine, about seven

that degrade foods and it transforms them into simple soluble substances.

The process of making bread


1. All the ingredients are weighed and placed in a vertical mixing. Starch and water are added
to produce the mass. This mass is then fermented for a few hours to allow the activation of
starch and the swelling of the mass. This period of fermentation is known as "sleep or rest
time".

2. The mass is returned to the mixer, where the rest of flour and water are added, along with
the fat, margarine, sugar, milk, salt, and/or eggs. The ingredients should be mixed and
scattered evenly in the dough to form gluten (elastic protein product, which is when the starch
has been separated from the mass per wash).

3. Then the mass is divided and rounded, and it is immediately tested. Mass parts pass
through the styler, containing a series of rollers which will remove any excess gas and air to
ground. The dough pieces are formed in a cylindrical mold or bar (bread) and placed in
containers.

Página

4 Containers are placed in a test temperature and humidity controlled cabin, and are dropped
off by an hour. The containers are brought to an oven so that the dough is baked. This is the
most important part of the production process.
The oven temperature will transform the mass in a light, pleasant and appetizing product.

5. When the bread is removed from the oven, it should be cooled before that they are cut and
packaged.

6. Then, the loaves of bread will be packaged in automatically and taken to a warehouse
where he is kept in shelves to immediately respond to the demands of the market.

History of the Olympics


Creating the Modern Olympic Games

According to legend, the ancient Olympic Games were founded by Heracles (the Roman
Hercules), a son of Zeus. Yet the first Olympic Games for which we still have written records
were held in 776 BCE (though it is generally believed that the Games had been going on for
many years already). At this Olympic Games, a naked runner, Coroebus (a cook from Elis),
won the sole event at the Olympics, the stage - a run of approximately 192 meters (210
yards). This made Coroebus the very first Olympic champion in history.

The ancient Olympic Games grew and continued to be played every four years for nearly
1200 years. In 393 CE, the Roman emperor Theodosius I, a Christian, abolished the Games
because of their pagan influences.

Approximately 1500 years later, a young Frenchmen named Pierre de Coubertin began their
revival. Coubertin is now known as le Rénovateur. Coubertin was a French aristocrat born on
January 1, 1863. He was only seven years old when France was overrun by the Germans
during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. Some believe that Coubertin attributed the defeat of
France not to its military skills but rather to the French soldiers' lack of vigor.* After examining
the education of the German, British, and American children, Coubertin decided that it was
exercise, more specifically sports, that made a well-rounded and vigorous person.

Coubertin's attempt to get France interested in sports was not met with enthusiasm. Still,
Coubertin persisted. In 1890, he organized and founded a sports organization, Union des
Sociétés Francaises de Sports Athlétiques (USFSA). Two years later, Coubertin first pitched

Página
Página de
34 de 95
his idea to revive the Olympic Games. At a meeting of the Union des Sports Athlétiques in
Paris on November 25, 1892, Coubertin stated.

Let us export our oarsmen, our runners, our fencers into other lands. That is the true Free
Trade of the future; and the day it is introduced into Europe the cause of Peace will have
received a new and strong ally. It inspires me to touch upon another step I now propose and
in it I shall ask that the help you have given me hitherto you will extend again, so that together
we may attempt to realize [sic], upon a basis suitable to the conditions of our modern life, the
splendid and beneficent task of reviving the Olympic Games.**

His speech did not inspire action. Though Coubertin was not the first to propose the revival of
the Olympic Games, he was certainly the most well-connected and persistent of those to do
so. Two years later, Coubertin organized a meeting with 79 delegates who represented nine
countries. He gathered these delegates in an auditorium that was decorated by neoclassical
murals and similar additional points of ambiance. At this meeting, Coubertin eloquently spoke
of the revival of the Olympic Games. This time, Coubertin aroused interest.

The delegates at the conference voted unanimously for the Olympic Games. The delegates
also decided to have Coubertin construct an international committee to organize the Games.
This committee became the International Olympic Committee (IOC; Comité Internationale
Olympique) and Demetrious Vikelas from Greece was selected to be its first president.
Athens was chosen as the location for the revival of the Olympic Games and the planning
was begun.

Narrative texts
They are related facts that can be developed in one place along a given space and time. This
story includes the participation of various characters, which may be real or imaginary, in that
narration need not be factual and maybe written from the perspective of a character in the
text. The style of a narrative is a choice made by the author based in part on text's genre,
purpose and structure

The purpose of narrative text is generally to entertain, inform or express ideas. Its sub-types
include fables, memoirs and adventure stories. Narrative text most often has a five-part
structure.

Stylistically, narratives can be described in many ways, including comic, tragic, sentimental,
reflective and ironic. Examples include news stories, novels, stories, history books,
biographies, memoirs, etc.

Instructional texts
The instructional text is one that provides a clear sequence of instructions that are intended to
develop an activity to reach a goal or accomplish a goal. The language should be precise and
concrete. Indicate instructions, operations or procedures recommended steps composed to
be met to achieve a result.

They require a special format. Development of procedures consisting of detailed steps that
must be met to achieve a result. Graphic marks are used as numbers, asterisks or dashes to

My brothers weren’t good students when they were much younger, but now they are

years old they were very good tennis players. My brother Mike was very shy and Tomas was
very serious. Now they are very funny and very nice.

My father and my mother are very hard workers. They are friends for us. My mother was a
housewife but now she is an excellent nurse and my father was a very grumpy man and he
never was in the house, because he was at the police station all day; however, he now

Text 1
PRESENTING THE FUTURE

by Will Hapin

A new millennium has begun as well as a new century, and it’s bringing new
developments in all areas of our lives. Where will we work in this new era? What we
will wear? How will we travel, study and relate to our families? Let’s follow Dr. Nouvella
Eon a typical day in 2115.

Dr. Eon’s day begins at 7:00 am when her bedroom lights turn themselves on. Her son
will weak up, too. She usually works from her home office. But today she is going to
teach. She doesn’t bother to check the weather report her high-tech material of her
clothing will keep her comfortable warm or cool.

“Hi mom her, son greets her over the home communications system. She goes to his
room to say good morning. While she is helping Ricky get ready for his day, the
household robot will prepare breakfast.

When will Dad be home? Ricky wants to know. Mr. Eon is a captain of the Mars
shuttle. “The shuttle leaves Mars at 6:00 pm today and it arrives tomorrow afternoon.
He’ll be here by the time you get home from school tomorrow”

“Don’t forget your backpack” Nouvella tells Ricky as they leave. “You’ll need it to send
me pictures of the zoo.” Ricky’s class is going on a field trip today, and he’ll carry a
backpack with a built-in computer, camera, and cell phone. She won’t worry about his
getting lost. All the children’s jackets have GPDs (Global Positioning Devices), so
she’ll be able to see where he is at any time on her wristwatch computer.

Nouvella is going to drive Ricky to school and then drive to the freeway. There, she’ll
connect with a freeway guidance system, so she won’t actually drive her car most of
the way to the university. Instead, she is going to listen to music and prepare to teach
her class.

Many of these changes have already begun, and we’ll see others very soon. The future
is arriving any minute now. Are you ready for it?

What’s in it for me?
By Murray Young.

Plants have been used for thousands of years to treat, and sometimes to cure, minor and
major illnesses. The rise of “rational” medicine led to a brie decline in herbal remedies In the
early part of this century, but recently they have been rediscovered. Research laboratories
have been set up to investigate he remedial properties of tree bark, flower petals and fungus.
The results have been spectacular.
Substances which have been extracted from plants are now from the basis of some of the
most important pain-killing and even life-saving drugs.

Among the most popular pain-killers, aspirin and codeine both come from flowers- the
meadowsweet and the poppy. People have used Cocaine as a local anesthetic for much
longer that it has been taken by drug addicts, comes from the coca plant. Penicillin, the
universal antibiotic, is a fungus which was discovered by accident when it grew naturally in a
Petri dish in Alexander Fleming´s laboratory and killed the bacteria that were in the dish.

Quinine, Which has prevented and treated malaria for many years, is distilled from the bark of
the yellow chinchona tree.
Whether you suffer from migraine or high blood pressure, you should be grateful to nature or
providing a cure (ergonovine from ergot and reserpine from Indian snakeroot, respectively).

The drug companies are certainly grateful. For instance, vinblastine, which occurs naturally in
the rosy periwinkle of Madagascar, cures most people of two different types of cancer and in
the income from the manufacture and sale of the substance exceeds $180 million per year.

Caves
The majority of the world’s most spectacular caves, including the Cacahuamilpa Caves, are
located in areas of limestone rock. This is because limestone is a soft kind of rock that is
easily eroded by water. Some caves are formed when rainwater is made more acidic as it
passes through dead plants in the soil. The rock is dissolved by the acidic water and solution
caves are formed. Other caves, like Cacahuamilpa Caves, are made by underground rivers.
Caves like these are called erosional Caves.

When an empty space is created in the limestone, stalactites and stalagmites start to form.
Stalactites’ hang from the roof of the Cave and stalagmites grow up from the floor. They are
made by the constant dripping of water that contains calcium carbonate. The calcium
carbonate is deposited in tiny quantities over hundreds of years. Stalactite and stalagmites
only grow about 0.1 mm a year. The longest stalactite in the world is found in Minas Gerais,
in Brazil, and is more than 20 meters long. How long did it take to form?

It´s a Wonderful Life (1976)


Exercise 1:
Read the text, following the teacher’s instructions.

What would have happened if you had never been born? Peter Stalleto learns the answer in
Frank Capra´s great movie classic, It´s a wonderful life.

When the movie opens, Peter is standing on bridge thinking about suicide. Throughout his
life, he has sacrificed his dreams in order to help other people. He could have gone to college
if the family business hadn´t needed him. He would have traveled around the world instead of
remaining in his hometown of Bedford Falls. Now faced a failed business and a possible jail
sentence, Peter decides to end his life by jumping into the river. Enter Gabriel, an angel sent
to help him. Gabriel jumps into the water first, certain that, as always, Peter put aside his own
problems in order to rescue someone else.

Safely back on land. Peter wishes he had never been born. “I suppose it would have been
better if I had never been born at all.” He tells Gabriel.”You got your wish: you never been
born” responds his guardian angel.

Gabriel then teaches Peter a hard lesson. In a series of painful episodes, he shows him what
life would have been like in Bedford Falls without Peter Stalleto. Peter goes back to the site of
his mother´s home. He finds, instead, an old, depressing boardinghouse. If Peter had not
supported his mother, she would have become a miserable, overworked boardinghouse
owner. Peter´s own home is a ruin, and his wife Meredith, is living a sad and lonely life. Each
scene is more disturbing than the last, until finally we end in a graveyard. We see the grave
of Peter´s little brother, Joe. If Peter hadn´t been alive, he couldn´t have saved Joe´s life. Joe
would have never grown up to be a war hero, saving the lives of hundreds of soldiers. “Joe
wasn´t there to save them because you weren´t there to save Joe,” explains Gabriel. “You
see Peter, you really had a wonderful life.”

The ending of the movie delivers a heartwarming holiday message. It´s a Wonderful Life
shows us the importance of each person´s life and how each of our lives touches those of
others. We see through Peter´s eyes how the lives of those around him would have been
different if he hadn´t known them.

This movie is highly recommended for the whole family.

TITLE:

Images of robotic equipment being used in operating rooms were once seen only in
science-fiction movies. Today, the use of robotic equipment for certain types of surgery
is no longer make-believe ―it´s real!

Traditional surgical procedure require surgeons to make large incisions in patient´s


body in order to gain access to the internal organs(1) It was once common for heart
surgeons, who perform highly specialized and complex procedures(2), to make long
incisions in a patient´s chest and then split the breastbone to reach the heart. The
patient then had to recover from the trauma of the surgical treatment, the split bone,
and the large wound created by the incision. Patients who undergo surgery requiring

Página
Página de
79 de 95
this kind of invasive procedure are often prone (3) to infection (4), as bacteria can
infect the cut in the skin. In addition, there is often a lengthy recovery period.

A surgical technique known as ´Keyhole surgery´ has become more common in recent
years. This technique eliminates the need for surgeons to make large incisions.
Instead, a couple of small incisions, each measuring about one centimeter, are made
around the area to be operated on. Long instruments, which look a bit like chopsticks,
are inserted through the tiny incision and into the patient´s body. At the end of this
instruments are small tools that resemble standard surgical tools. A tiny camera, called
endoscope, is also inserted into the body through one of the incisions. The camera
relays an image of what is happening inside the patient´s body to a large computer
monitor, so doctor are able to see what is going on, and where to place the tools. The
awkward part of keyhole surgery is that it is counterintuitive; if a surgeon wants to
move the tool to the left, he or she must push it to the right, and vice versa.

Other advancements in technology are also being used today in the OR (5). A new
machine called the da Vinci™ Surgical System has been tested in hospitals in the U.S.
This robotic apparatus (6) requires that surgeons make three small incisions in the
body. Two of the slits are for instruments; the third is for the endoscope. Unlike keyhole
surgery, the da Vinci™ robots moving parts are designed to mimic the natural hand
and wrist movements of a surgeon, thus providing better control and sensitivity. Sitting
at a console a few feet from a patient, the surgeon can perform an operation by holding
and moving highly sensitive pads that enable him or her to control the instruments. The
area of the body on which the surgeon is working is magnified (7) on a screen, which is
attached to the console. This gives surgeons a realistic three-dimensional view of the
area―similar to what they would see during a traditional surgical procedure.

Although the da Vinci™ Surgical System is undergoing trials from some procedures, it
has been hailed as revolutionary by many surgeons. Patients with serious illnesses
must still undergo major surgery, but the smaller incisions and less invasive (8)
procedures typically mean that there in less physical trauma to the body, so a shorter
recovery time is needed. In some cases, the patients stay in the hospital has been cut
in half when the da Vinci™ Surgical System was used. On the downside (9), some
operations have taken up to fifty minutes longer because surgeons are inexperienced
at using the new technology. As surgeons become more familiar with the machines,
the time needed for surgical procedures is likely to decrease.

As technologies continue to develop in the medical field, we may find that robots
become a permanent feature of the OR.

RIVALRY

a. Discuss the following.

 Can you name any international corporations? What are their products?
 Do you now anything about Microsoft and Apple and their products?

b. Read the text below and choose the best title.

a) Steve Jobs and Bill Gates


b) Computers taking over our lives
c) And the winner is…..

Microsoft and Apple are two multinational corporations that have been rivals for about 30
years. At first it started off a duel over computers but it has now moved on to gamming and
music.
Both companies were founded by college dropouts in the 1970s. Apple, which was founded
by Steve Jobs, created the first PC in the mid 70s and little later created a more user-friendly
computer, the Macintosh.
Microsoft founder by Bill Gates took a different path. Microsoft license software, which is
known as Windows, to manufacturers like Compaq. Microsoft´s vision of “a computer on
every desk and in every home” was becoming a reality and by 1992 Bill Gates had become
the richest person in the world.
Microsoft strategy was too powerful for Apple to complete with and, in 1985, Steve Jobs was
fired from the company he helped create. Twelve years later, Apple brought back jobs, who
turned the Mac (short for Macintosh) into something cool and desirable. Apple has since sold
millions of Macs.
Currently Microsoft is the number one player in the corporate world. Microsoft has such a
strong hold in businesses that it wil be extremely difficult for Apple to catch up, if it ever
catches up. Apple, on the other hand, dominates the consumer space. Apple is seen as
innovative and cool, while Microsoft is seen as old and difficult to change. In addition, Apple is
increased the rivalry by making number of commercials were they mock Microsoft. They show
them as being out of date and totally uncool.
The relationship between Apple and Microsoft is not always one of rivalry, however. They also
rely on each other and work together. Microsoft makes software for the Mac. Macs can now
even run with Windows, and if Microsoft stopped making Microsoft Office for the Mac, it would

It seems like the consumer is the real winner in this rivalry. Through the competition between
the two corporations, consumers are offered more and better products.
