CONTENIDO

Unidad de Competencia.
Los estudiantes desarrollan la competencia lingüística del idioma inglés en un nivel básico
a través de actividades bajo un enfoque comunicativo promoviendo la autonomía y el
trabajo colaborativo en un ambiente de respeto.
Justificación.
Las experiencias educativas de lengua 1 y lengua 2 en el Sistema de Enseñanza Abierto
(SEA) pertenecientes al programa del MEIF se imparten por módulos, es decir, las clases
que reciben estos estudiantes son 30 horas presenciales, a diferencia de los estudiantes del
sistema escolarizado quienes toman 75 horas presenciales en el semestre.
En dichas 30 horas presenciales el maestro debe cubrir el programa para el curso de lengua
1 o 2 según sea el caso. Por esta razón es difícil hacer todas las actividades que contempla
los libros de textos
Ante esta situación, se propone un material impreso que abarque los contenidos del
programa oficial del MEIF para lengua 1 tomando en cuenta las 30 horas frente a grupo, así
como la práctica de actividades específicas que promuevan el aprendizaje y desarrollen las
cuatro habilidades requeridas para comunicarse en inglés como lengua extranjera.
Introducción.
Este material pretende ser una guía de trabajo en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de la
experiencia de lengua 1 en el sistema de enseñanza abierta de la Universidad Veracruzana.
En su contenido se puede observar la explicación de los temas gramaticales y la
presentación del vocabulario más relevante del programa de lengua 1 de MEIF.
Consta de una serie de actividades en las cuales el alumno desarrolla las cuatro habilidades
comunicativas (reading, listening, writing y speaking) promoviendo el trabajo individual,
en pares y en equipos.

The possessive of a plural noun is formed by adding only an apostrophe when the noun
ends in s, and by adding both an apostrophe and s when it ends in a letter other than s.

children’s toys the boys’ baseball team
the twins’ parents the alumni’s fundraising
the student teachers’ supervisor three weeks’ vacation
the Smiths’ vacation house someone with twelve years’
experience

About 8,000 people live here. In Kingsville there are about thirty shops and there are three
big shopping malls. You can buy almost everything in there. There are four banks and two
libraries on Main Street. There´s a coffee shop in front of the town hall too.
My favorite pizza shop is on the corner of Oak Street. I like this place because they have
different kind of pizzas. They´re really delicious! Near my house there´s also a market
where you can buy fresh fruit, vegetables, meat and dairy products.
There are three churches downtown and there is a park too. In the park children can play
because there is a playground area. In Kingsville there are interesting places where you can
go with your family or friends, for example there is a theater and a museum. But
unfortunately, there isn´t an aquarium or a football stadium. I love living in my town
because it is a calm place and people are friendly.

We form affirmative sentences using the base form of the infinitive (without the TO).
However, the spelling for the verb in the third person (he, She, It) differs depending on
the ending of that verb:

go – goes
wash – washes Example: Maria goes to school every day.
kiss – kisses
fix – fixes
43
play – plays
enjoy – enjoys Example: My brother plays soccer
say-says
buy-buys
4. For verbs that end in E, we just add -S. EXCEPT For the irregular verb HAVE, we use
HAS

in parentheses.
Example: The children __get up__at this time every morning. (get up)

evenings, he _________(13) TV, __________ (14) a book or__________ (15) to classical
music. He __________ (16) to bed at midnight.
We use the present simple, in its negative form, to deny situations that regularly, repeatedly
or always occur.
To make a negative sentence in simple present we use the auxiliary verb do + not ( don´t)
when the subject is I, you or we and the auxiliary verb does + not (doesn't) when the
subject is he, she or it.
* Verb: Notice that the base form of the verb is the same (without any changes).
Negative Contractions
Don't = Do not I don't like meat = I do not like meat.
Doesn't = Does not he doesn´t like meat= he does not like
meat.
With contractions there is no difference in meaning though we normally use them in spoken
English.

a question.

For 12:00 there are four expressions in English. ( o´clock/ midday/ noon/ midnight)
2. We say the hour first and then the minutes. (Hour + Minutes)
3.Say the minutes first and then the hour. (Minutes + PAST/ AFTER/ TO + Hour)
53
It´s 7: 40 ( It´s twenty TO eight)
It´s 9:50 (It´s ten TO ten)
It´s 4:45 ( It´s fifteen TO five/ It´s (a) quarter TO five)
A more polite way to ask for the time, especially from a stranger is:
The common question forms we use to ask at what time a specific event are:
We use the structure AT AROUND/ AT ABOUT+ time when giving the time of a non-specific
event.
AM vs. PM
We don't normally use the 24-hour clock in English.
We use a.m. (am) for the morning and p.m. (pm) for the afternoon and night.

I. Read the following paragraph and answer the questions.
TIM’S DAY
Tim works for a company in Sacramento, California. He's a customer service
representative. He always gets up at six o'clock each workday. He usually drives to work
and begins his job at eight o'clock. He speaks to people on the telephone to help them with
their banking problems. People telephone the bank to ask questions about their accounts.
He doesn't give information about accounts until people answer a few questions.
Tim asks callers their birth date, the last four digits of
their social security number and their address. If a
person gives incorrect information, Tim asks him to
call back with the correct information. Tim is polite
and friendly with everyone. He usually has lunch in a
park next to his office. He often returns home at five
o'clock in the evening. After work, he goes to the gym
to work out. He has dinner at seven o'clock. Tim likes
watching TV after dinner. He goes to bed at eleven
o'clock at night.

Adjective + noun
Adjectives are words or phrases which change, clarify, qualify, or limit a particular word or
words (nouns) in a sentence in order to add emphasis, explanation, or detail.
Opinion adjectives. They tell us what somebody thinks of something or somebody, such
as : nice, beautiful or delicious, etc.
Example: In spring I always wear nice shorts
And
Fact adjectives. They give us factual information about something or somebody, such
as: age, size, color, etc. ( new, large, wooden, etc,)
Example: In spring I always wear nice cotton shorts
Opinion adjectives are always before fact adjectives

Hate, like, love and prefer:
We can use hate, like, love and prefer with an -ing form or with a to-infinitive:
These two options are correct, there is a small difference between their meanings, however.
Note: In American English, the forms with to-infinitive are much more common than the –
ing form.
To-infinitive - We can use it to give more emphasis to the results of the action or event
and to express habits or preferences
I like making coffee.
ING FORM is used to emphasise the action
He likes telling jokes.
and suggest the enjoyment of it.

Object pronouns:
Object pronouns are used instead of nouns, usually because we already know what the
object is.
It makes the sentence easier to read and understand and avoids repetition. We normally use
object pronouns after a verb or a preposition.
79
OBJECT PRONOUNS
Be careful when using 'it' as an object pronoun because it is only in the correct context that
it has meaning. It needs to have already been mentioned or obvious to the listener what you
are referring to. Compare;
You are sitting on it! (The listener probably doesn't know what the speaker refers
to).
The letter is on the sofa. You are sitting on it! (It is obvious in the second sentence
that the reference is to the letter).
I. Which object form of the object pronoun can substitute the underlined phrase in
the sentence?
1) The teacher always gives the students homework.
a) me b) them c) you
2) I´m reading the book to my little sister.
a) him b) me c) her
3) The boys are riding their bikes.

My lovely family
gets up at 7 o’clock every morning and prepares breakfast. Later, she cleans our house
and feeds our dog. She likes listening to the radio and watching soap operas on TV, but
she does not like washing our dog. She usually meets her friends at home and she makes
delicious cakes. I love eating them! She is the best mom and I love her very much. My
father’s name is Peter. He is 35 years old and works at a factory. He always takes a
shower at 7:30 and leaves home at 8:30. He gets on the bus and arrives at the factory at 9
o’clock. He really likes his job but he does not earn much. He comes back home at 7
o’clock in the evening and plays with me. On Sundays my father likes watching soccer on
TV but he doesn´t play it. Mary and Paul are my siblings. Mary is 10 years old and she is
an elementary student. She is very intelligent. She loves studying 5 hours a day. In her
free time she likes watching action and animated movies but hates horror movies. These
movies are not for her. Paul is 11 years old and he is an elementary school student too.
He always meets his friends and plays with them in the park. They prefer riding their
bicycles in the afternoon after school. Paul likes eating fast food but he doesn’t like
vegetables. On weekdays we have different activities but on weekends we really like
spending time together. We go to the movies or go to an amazing local ice shop near our
