La Innovación
de la Esperanza
L
os grandes movimientos de la historia se han basado en el poder del ser humano.
Son los individuos y los equipos los que inyectan innovación a las organizaciones,
quienes producen los grandes cambios que revolucionan el mundo. Arquímedes
decía: “Dame un punto de apoyo y moveré el mundo”, para enseñar que la palanca es
capaz de multiplicar la fuerza y levantar cualquier objeto por muy pesado que sea,
siempre que se tenga un punto de apoyo apropiado. Cuando alguien combina la energía
y la inteligencia en el nivel correcto, estas le pueden generar una fuerza poderosa que
catapulta de manera innovadora los nuevos paradigmas de la creatividad humana.
Todo ser humano ha venido a este mundo proveído de capacidades innatas, no solo
para su desarrollo personal, sino también para contribuir a la generación de riquezas
y bienestar del mundo donde vivimos. Usted puede develar el inmenso potencial que
está oculto en su interior y mostrar la inquebrantable fe que lo caracteriza como ser
humano, que no nació para sufrir la pobreza material o espiritual, sino para prosperar
y triunfar en la vida. Esto es parte de nuestra misión, acompañarlo a recorrer este
camino en el proceso de su formación, para que logre mejores resultados, con valor
agregado, y que usted sea una inspiración personal para alcanzar la realidad que todos
deseamos, “innovando la esperanza para vivir una vida digna y próspera”.

B
ienvenidos al sistema de educación a distancia en su modalidad semipresencial
y virtual de la UNNATEC. Usted es un estudiante del siglo XXI y debe estar
preparado para afrontar los grandes desafíos de la globalización y de la sociedad
del conocimiento, y desarrollar las competencias personales y profesionales que lo
acrediten como un individuo competente y eficiente.
Nuestra propuesta metodológica para el uso de esta guía se centra en tres aspectos
relevantes. Desde la perspectiva pedagógica, adoptamos el pensamiento constructivista
como eje fundamental para fomentar el pensamiento crítico y creativo en la aplicación
del conocimiento; desde una perspectiva comunicacional, para fomentar la dialéctica y la
ética comunicativa del quehacer humano; y desde la perspectiva tecnológica, para crear
los ambientes propicios de aprendizaje apoyados en las tecnologías de la información
y comunicación. La articulación de la pedagogía, la comunicación y la tecnología, nos
permite utilizar métodos y recursos útiles al momento de forjar las competencias
requeridas en el currículo. Estas estrategias se basan en los postulados teóricos del
profesor Reuven Feuerstein, quien favorece el desarrollo de los procesos mentales y
las funciones cognitivas que están implícitos en las actividades educativas y en la vida
social.
Esta guía está diseñada con objetivos claros que puedan ser entendidos y logrados a
través de su trabajo como estudiante de una manera efectiva, que le permitirá desarrollar
las competencias definidas sin pérdida de tiempo ni de recursos valiosos. Los recursos
empleados en la guía, le permitirán fijar claramente los conceptos, manejar un nuevo
vocabulario, elaborar mapas conceptuales y diarios de doble entrada, interactuar con
sus compañeros para discutir temas de relevancia y conectarse a múltiples enlaces de
informaciones y de personalidades en el aula virtual y en las redes sociales. Una vez
realizadas todas las actividades de trabajo, tanto de la guía instruccional como del aula
virtual, usted estará en capacidad de ser evaluado y valorado con una alta calidad en el
conocimiento de su área de estudio.
Espero que con esta nueva manera de lograr los aprendizajes, podamos hacer juntos un
ejercicio, no solamente teórico, sino moderno y pragmático que nos permita ser mejores
seres humanos y mejores profesionales.

UNIT
U
nnatec’s student should know the basic rules of the English language,
looking forward his/her ability to hold a simple English conversation
based on activities for fun/leisure vs. activities that are obligations.
The learner will also hold some conversations with regard planning
vacations for the future.
UNIT I – Activities for fun/leisure vs. Activities that are obligations. Expressing ability,
posibility, probability, suggestion, advice, habit, permission, obligation. Talking about
the future, planning vacations.
1.1 Objective
Learn to hold a simple English conversation based on activities for fun and those
activities that are obligations
Activities for fun: All kind of activities that help someone to enjoy in those cases
in which there is a particular and voluntary interest, especially when the person is
looking for pleasure, enjoyment and leisure. Those activities that are neither working
nor essential chores, and can be recreational.
Activities that are obligations: All kinds of professional, social and familiar
activities that should be done or accomplished. It could be for legal imposition or moral
exigencies.
The distinction between leisure activities and mandatory is not limited and depends
on each person, so studying, cooking, or working as musician could be fun for someone
and work for others, depending on the utility and eventual profit. A fun activity can
be used in motivating and productive activities.
E.g. I am planning to travel to Orlando city next summer so, I might visit Disney
World.
1.3 Grammar: The Modals auxiliary (should, would, could, can, might, may, to
have -for obligations-.
The modals are auxiliary verbs that modify the meaning of the main verb by suggesting
possibility, probability, necessity, permission, obligation, prohibition, requesting,
ability, habit, etc. The most common modals are: May, Might, Could, Can, Should,
Must, Would, Ought, Have to, will. These verbs are used with the principal or
main verb to form affirmative, negative or questions. It means that they ALWAYS
accompanied a principal verb. The most basic and simple explanation of use is as
follow:
When we want to express how certain we are that something happens, at any time in
the past, present or future. These modal verbs are also called “modal of deduction, or
modal of certainty, or modal of speculation
c) Obligation, prohibition and Advice (Must, Should, Ought to, Have to)
They are used when we want to express that something is necessary or unnecessary to
take action and when we want to give advice.
We can use them when we want to give or ask for permission and when we want to
express that one is allowed to do something.
E.g. Could I watch your TV?
We may not go to the movie tonight
We can use these modals to express about habits or thing we usually do either in the
present or in the past
E.g. When you lived in Jarabacoa, you would often climb the mountain.
Stephanie will always be late!
When forming affirmative statements with modal verbs or auxiliaries, the variables
below should be taken into a count:
When forming negative statements with modal verbs or auxiliaries, the variables
below should be taken into a count:
Note: With the modal auxiliary “to have” you might use the auxiliary “to do”. e.g. I do
not have to clean the house today.
a) Yes/no Question: The type of question in which the answer is weather “yes” or “No”.
When forming “yes/no question” with modal verbs or auxiliaries, the variables below
should be taken into a count:

UNIT
ADJECTIVES TO COMPARE
AND DEGREE
U
nnatec’s student should know the basic rules of the english language,
looking forward his/her ability to hold a simple English conversation
based on going shopping and to qualifying adjectives by comparing
and degrading.. The learner will also learn how to use and structure direct
and indirect object, indefinite pronoun, determiners and form sentences
with verb by adding an infinite or/and gerund.
2.1 - Objective
Learn to hold a simple English conversation based on going shopping in a mall and to
compare and degree adjectives.
A shopping mall is one or more buildings forming a series of shops or places to buy,
to have fun, to eat, etc. they are interconnected with walkways and allow visitors
to experience an easy place where to find everything someone needs. Its structure
includes parking area and a big and modern indoor.
Places To do
E.g. My mother and I went shopping this morning (“My” describe mother)
b) The pronoun takes the place of a noun. The possessive pronoun tells who owns or
possesses something.
E.g. My mother and I went shopping this morning. My mother bought two t-shirt for
both. Hers is white and mine is blue (“hers and mine” take the places of nouns).
My Mine
Your Yours
His His
Her Hers
Its It
Our Ours
Your Yours
their Theirs
˃ Use anybody and anyone for referring to person in negative statements and
questions.
E.g. There was something wrong with the bill at the supermarket
E.g. I was inside the store when the thief stole the women bag, but I saw nothing.
Note: Look at that the adjective large modifies the noun streets, and the adjective
happy modifies the pronoun they.
The adjectives have a contrary form or action as detail in the following box:
Adjective - Opposite
The comparative form of an adjective compares two people or things or more and the
superlative compare one person or thing with members that conform a group. The
comparative and the superlative use different form to structure themselves.
˃ Double the consonant with monosyllable adjective with one vowel followed by
one consonant.
Hot – hotter.
Bad – worse
˃ Double the consonant with adjectives with one vowel followed by one consonant
An object is a noun or pronoun that gives meaning to the subject and verb in a sentence
and it follows the subject and the verb. One sentence can have one or more objects.
There are two types of objects: The Direct and the Indirect object. For easier use, it
is desirable to replace the name of an object with a pronoun or object pronoun. The
object pronouns are listed below:
The direct object is a noun (person or thing) that receives the action of the verb. It
answers the question “what?” or “whom?” with regard the subject is referring.
˃ An indirect object precedes the direct object and tells to whom or for whom the action
of the verb is done and who is receiving the direct object. There must be a direct object
to have an indirect object. Indirect objects are usually found with verbs of giving or
communicating like give, bring, tell, show, take, or offer.
˃ If a preposition is used, then the word becomes the object of that preposition, as in
the following, where to and for are prepositions and man and yourself are their objects:
E.g. She gave her daughter some bags = She gave her some bags
The security gay from the mall talked to my mother =The security gay from the mall
talked to her
The expressions “a little” and “a few” determine the quantity one is referring to. They
preceded by indefinite article “in/an” and both means “some or enough”.
E.g. My mother and I ate a little ice cream in the food area
˃ The first verb should be followed by an infinite or gerund irrespectively (second verb)
When we are speaking we can use the following rules depending on the context:
E.g. I need to visit the mall´s game area to plan my kid´s birthday party
She loves to walk through the big hall or she loves walking through the bill hall
