2 The following describes the Closure Section in a 12th Grade lesson meant to teach students to write
a narrative paragraph about the unit “Dreams and wishes” making use of the different steps of the
writing process (prewriting -organizing ideas-, writing, proofreading, publishing).
Teacher: Ok boys and girls, time is about to be up. Let’s start closing up our lesson today. What did we
do today?
Student 1 (Mariella): We wrote a paragraph, Miss González.
Teacher: What kind of paragraph, Katy?
Student 2 (Katy): A paragraph that narrates.
0202018MINEDUC
Teacher: That’s it, Katy, good! As Katy says, you have learnt to write a narrative paragraph. And what
PROPIEDAD DE
is a narrative paragraph, Pablo?

Student 3 (Pablo): putting sentences together.
Teacher: But any type of sentences? Remember, that a narrative paragraph tells a story relating events
which may be either true or imaginary.
Student 4 (Vicente): Miss Zuñiga, it is also a type of story.
Teacher: Good, Vicente! That’s it. When writing such paragraphs you have to relate a story, setting
a scene and providing necessary background information. We also said that when writing a narrative
paragraph there are certain steps we have to follow: the prewriting stage, in which you have to decide
on an experience, select a point of view and devise a main idea which leads the reader to expect a story
of some kind. List the major events and thoughts and put them in chronological order. Then comes the
writing stage, where you have to begin by writing the topic sentence, a sentence that sets the scene
or focuses on some general truth or principle. Then decide which specific events and details should
be included. Finally, comes the revising stage, in which you have to revise your draft with a specific
checklist to make sure it achieves its goal.
So, please, Carlos, collect your classmates’ narrative paragraphs and yours and place them on my desk.
Teacher: Marcela, what do you think learning how to write a narrative paragraph will enable you to do?
Student 5 (Marcela): To write good paragraphs in Spanish, History, Philosophy, as well.
Student 6 (Juan): And also to write main ideas and supporting details.
Teacher: Good, Marcela and Juan! Writing a paragraph is a suitable means of organizing ideas in our
mind and giving them their right importance.
See you next class!
In light of the characteristics of the Closure Section of a lesson, mention two weaknesses and two
strengths of the preceding Closure Section description. Support one strength and one weakness.

Read the following text and answer questions 18 to 20:
1. Basil thyme, sage. These are indispensable herbs, and they grew in abundance on our front stoop all summer. We don’t like paying $2.50
per packet for herbs at the supermarket, so when it gets cold, we have another plan.
2. Fortunately it’s not difficult to grow these herbs indoors — even in a tiny kitchen. One big pot, some potting soil, and a few herb plants
are all you need. You should also have a sunny spot; the herbs will need plenty of direct sunshine.
3. Some of you already have your container garden moved inside, and new plant projects going for the winter. This project is not for you,
already gifted with a green thumb! This project is for those of us who just need a little push to get anything green in our house at all in the
winter!
0202018MINEDUC
4. I. Pot and tray - Buy a large, deep plant pot. This one is at least 7 gallons. Make sure there is at least one small hole in the bottom for
drainage. If you have easy access to some stones or gravel, put a few inches of stones at the bottom of the pot to promote drainage.
PROPIEDAD DE
5. Also make sure you buy a plastic or ceramic tray for under the pot to keep drained water from dripping on the floor.
6. II. Hardy herbs - Choose a variety of herbs for this pot. We chose cooking herbs - sage, sweet basil, and caraway thyme. We liked the
different sizes and heights; sage grows tall, while basil is more bushy. The thyme is a creeper, growing flat to the ground. It has a tendency
to take over its environment, so we will trim it back regularly.
7. Choosing herbs: We had a hard time finding herbs until we went to a nursery. They had just a few hardy specimens left, including
the sage and thyme. Sometimes Trader Joe’s has basil, too. We used three small basil plants, one tall and leggy sage, and a small thyme
creeper. This may have been too much; if they start crowding each other and pruning doesn’t help we’ll pull out a basil.
8. III. Soil and water - Fill the pot up with soil, stopping about 3 inches from the top. Moisten the soil lightly but thoroughly with water
and mix it until evenly wet. It shouldn’t be dripping wet - just loosely muddy.
9. Dig a small hole, deep down. Remove one of the plants from its nursery container. Gently loosen the soil around its roots. You don’t
want to tear the roots apart - just loosen them up a bit. Put in the hole and pack about an inch of dirt over top of the root ball. Repeat for
the other plants, giving them several inches of room between each other. Water again when finished.
10. IV. Water and sun - Put the pot on its drainage tray. Place anywhere it can get full sun. You’ll need as much weak winter sun as you can
get. Don’t overwater; pour in a cup of water wherever and whenever leaves look droopy.
11. For cooking, cut leaves and stems off the tops first - not the sides.
12. Time, not including shopping: 20 minutes.

Cost: $35 - $50, depending on the cost of the pot and amount of plants.

Can Elephants’ Amazing Sense of Smell Help Sniff Out Bombs?
The U.S. military’s push for better bomb detectors involves taking cues from elephants’ ability to locate TNT.
1. BELA BELA, South Africa —Chishuru, a large African elephant bull with a talent for sniffing out TNT, stood in front of a line of
seven white buckets. Inside one of the buckets on a recent morning was a slight trace of TNT on a piece of paper stapled to the bottom.
Chishuru’s job was to find out exactly which bucket it was —using his nimble trunk to guide the way. The elephant ambled between the
buckets, snaking his long trunk into each one —there were different, harmless scent traces in each bucket— and taking a big sniff before
moving on to the next. At the fifth bucket, he paused and raised his right leg, indicating to a research team that this was the one with a trace
0202018MINEDUC
of TNT inside. Bingo. The pachyderm is among a group of tame African elephants helping the U.S. military develop an artificial “nose”
that could safely and effectively detect bombs and other explosive devices.
PROPIEDAD DE
2. The U.S. Army Research Office experiments, which take place at the Adventures with Elephants ranch here, are part of an effort to better
understand —and eventually reproduce— elephants’ stellar sense of smell. The objective, says Stephen Lee of the U.S. Army Research
Office, is not to put elephants in the field of combat or use them for mine detection. “We are trying to understand how elephants smell with
their trunk”, Lee says, “and how sensitive they are to specific odors”.
3. Elephants have a keener sense of smell than dogs do, Lee says, and he and his teams are working to determine how much sharper their
sniffer is when it comes to locating TNT. Currently, military working dogs are used for either explosives or narcotics detection, primarily
by military police. “The data show that elephants have an amazing capacity for TNT detection”, says Ashadee Kay Miller, a scientist at
South Africa’s University of Witwatersrand who works with the ranch. During the two-year Army project, “they’ve never missed a sample
in the second phase of testing, which is an improvement on the TNT-detection dogs working under similar conditions”, says Miller, who is
writing a scientific paper about the elephants’ ability to detect TNT using smell, and how their abilities compare to those of dogs.
4. Technology inspired by the elephant’s sense of smell could be a vast improvement over the military’s current handheld electronic
sensors that detect explosives. Elephants can detect odors from a distance —an ability that could help lead to a much safer technology.
The research teams are trying to determine how close an elephant needs to be to pick up the scent of TNT, but wild elephants have been
known to smell people, depending on the wind direction, from more than a kilometer (0.6 mile) away. Their sense of smell is targeted, and
research has shown that they don’t need to go to different locations to home in on an odor, as would a domestic dog. Beyond developing
better electronic sensors, the military could also collect soil or air samples by flying drones over suspected minefields and send the samples
to trained elephants for testing.
5. Elephants, especially Chishuru, the star sniffer bull, now represent the enormous potential of what we can learn from elephants. And he
may inspire the next generation of artificial noses that could save lives —on the battlefield and beyond.

Readers may be cross, but puzzle creator’s aim is fun
March 31, 2011 | 8:49 am
1. “Cross words about the crossword” – readers Karen Banse and Jonathan Mandel each wrote with a similar play on words. They are
among the readers who have emailed recently to lament changes in The Times’ Sunday crossword puzzle.
2. The complaints have a sad origin. Sylvia Bursztyn, who had been creating Sunday crosswords for The Times since 1980, died Dec. 30.
Her last puzzle was published Jan. 9.
3. Since then, puzzles by Merl Reagle, which had alternated weeks with Bursztyn’s, have run each Sunday.
0202018MINEDUC
4. Bursztyn had a loyal following. She joined Barry Tunick in April 1980 to help create the Sunday crossword and continued on her own
after his death in 2007. Though Reagle has his own cadre of fans across the country, his style is quite different from hers.
PROPIEDAD DE
5. In recent weeks, readers have complained that Reagle’s puzzles are “way-out-of-the-box challenging”, “stilted, relying on puns” and “an
exercise in irritation”.
6. “Change is a hard thing, and solving is a very personal thing”, Reagle said by email.
7. Reagle’s Oscar-themed puzzle on Feb. 27 used numerals in two of the answers, which raised some hackles. “Stop using numbers in your
puzzles”, Carolyn Gordon wrote in an email that she asked be forwarded to Reagle. “It isn’t cute, and it isn’t clever. It’s just cheating, plain
and simple. If you want to SPELL out the numbers, as in ’fiveánd ’three,’that’s allowed, but using the number depicted as a number isn’t
fair”.
8. Reagle said the use of numbers – or multiple letters, or easily drawn shapes – in an answer square is common in crossword magazines as
well as in the New York Times puzzle.
9. “I wouldn’t want to do one every week – far from it – but I thought I’d at least do a few with numerals for starters”, he said in his
email. “Mind you, this is not a casual, willy-nilly thing; the numerals have to be parts of theme answers, not just something thrown in for
variety’s sake. In the case of my recent Oscar crossword it was necessary because the movies being punned on were ’127 Hoursánd ’Toy
Story 3’– and spelling the numbers out would have looked pretty weird”.
Taken from http://latimesblogs.latimes.com
24 What did Reagle mean in the sentence: “Mind you, this is not casual, willy-nilly thing”, in the last
paragraph of the text?
A It was done on purpose due to circumstances.
B He did not expect readers to agree with him.
C He followed the New York Times puzzles’ style.
D Puzzles with numerals are good for starters.
18
25 How often did Reagle’s puzzles appear in the newspaper before Bursztyn’s death?
A Once a month.
B Every Sunday.
C Twice a week.
D Every other Sunday.
0202018MINEDUC
PROPIEDAD DE
26 Why does the text state that the complaints have a sad origin?
A Because readers were not happy.
B Because Barry Tunick passed away in 2007.
C Because Silvia Bursztyn had recently passed away.
D Because Reagle was unable to continue with Bursztyn’s style.
27 Why do readers complain about The Times’ Sunday crossword puzzle?
A Because they have to spell numbers.
B Because puzzles are contrived and demanding.
C Because puzzles about movies are not attractive.
D Because Merl Reagle is creating the Sunday puzzles.
19
28 What is the main purpose of the text?
A To contrast Bursztyn’s and Reagle’s style.
B To show that Bursztyn’s crosswords are better than Reagle’s.
C To let readers know that the use of numbers in crossword puzzles is common.
D To state that readers are dissatisfied with changes in The Times’ Sunday crossword puzzle.

Craigslist
1. I used to share the cynicism common to many nerds: that people are frequently malicious and opportunistic. But, of course, you don’t get
treated well wearing a plastic pocket protector and thick, black glasses taped together, and now, I get that. Years of customer service have
changed the way I think about people.
2. Now I believe that people are overwhelmingly trustworthy and deeply OK. I don’t want to sound sanctimonious or syrupy, but for the
past seven years, I’ve been doing full-time customer service for Craigslist, interacting with thousands of people. I see that most people share
a similar moral compass: they play fair, they give each other break and they generally get along. I see that pretty much everyone operates
by that Golden Rule thing.
0202018MINEDUC
3. With Katrina hit, for instance, people figured out what other people needed. They didn’t ask for permission to repurpose our New Orleans
site. They just turned it into a bulletin board for people to find friends and loved ones. Others offered housing for housing for survivors, and
PROPIEDAD DE
soon, jobs were being offered to survivors.
4. Many of us have lost a sense of neighborhood and community, and we really crave that. In today’s culture, sometimes we can find that
on the Web. Like, it’s easy to connect with someone who’s just trying to sell a used sofa, and it’s really hard to hate a person who’s trying
to do that. To be clear, there are bad guys out there and they’re drawn to any trust-based democratic system, like our site. For example, I
spend a lot of time dealing with just a few apartment rental brokers in New York who might be, let’s say, ethically challenged. A few seem
to feel that if others are being sleazy, it’s OK for them to do the same. Under pressure from Craigslist community, though, they are forced
to behave. We reason with brokers, explaining our principles, and that usually works.
5. I started my site to help people help each other. I created the original platforms and then I got out of the way. The people who run our
site really are the people who use it. They are worthy of trust, and I believe in them.

My sister
1. I pace back and forth, sure that the gates will close and we will miss our plane. As the other passengers board I am nervously waiting
for my sister to come back with her cup of Starbucks. Of course we don’t miss the plane. As usual, she manages to make it just before
the doors close. She smiles at me. “Laura, they’re boarding already”, she comments. I don’t have to answer because the flight attendant
announces, “The gates are about to close” as we scramble onto the plane. After we settle comfortably in our seats, she turns to me and
says, "Laura, you and dad would be the first ones in line at the concentration camps".
2. She hit the nail on the head; our differences in personality go way back. I am like my father – always early, doing everything yesterday;
0202018MINEDUC
and she is like my mother – always late, doing everything tomorrow. Both equally annoying habits.
PROPIEDAD DE
3. We arrive at the Detroit Airport, Gate Number 10, and scurry down the concourse to Gate Number 59. I’m in a panic; we have only
40 minutes before our connecting plane takes off. Somewhere around Gate 40 she decides we have time to stop for lunch. I’m nervously
tapping my fingers while we wait for the lunch to arrive. When our sandwiches finally get to the table I pay the bill and make my sister
leave with sandwich in hand. “What a dumb idea to stop for lunch”, I say to her. “We have only ten minutes before the flight boards”. I run
her down the concourse to Gate Number 59, anticipating a closed gate. Of course I’m wrong. The plane is not even there yet. A 20-minute
delay is posted. She gives me a dirty look as she walks off to get another cup of coffee. I just slink into a chair and wait.
4. We make it on the plane and to our destination with only one other mishap. She almost left her suitcase in the airport. But as usual,
everything worked out for her. It always does, although I don’t know why.
5. To her credit, she is a very efficient designer working two jobs, while I am retired, with less pressure. On the other hand, she has set a
pattern whereby everyone expects her to be late, and would be shocked if she wasn’t. And her last-minute-itis has been passed down to
the next generation. I’ve heard her son say, "Mom, we have ten minutes. Do you want to go see a movie?"
6. I guess it goes back to when she was a three year-old stage performer singing, “I’m a slow poke now”. I guess nobody told her that it
wasn’t supposed to be a lifetime project!

Read the following classroom situation:
Pablo, an 11th Grade student, has been reluctant to get involved in English classes during most of his
school time, mainly because he finds it is a difficult subject. He has never indeed felt any improvement
in his performance and, as a consequence, has not paid much attention to these lessons. However,
when he began his 11th Grade, their new English teacher, Mrs. Peña, was specially careful about the
students in the class who never participated. Mrs. Peña’s comments and constructive feedback on
their performance started making sense to students so they began showing a more positive attitude
0202018MINEDUC
towards English.
PROPIEDAD DE
Which of the following is the correct reason why giving constructive feedback is so important to
learners?
A Learners need to feel that they are making progress.
B When students feel favoured, they become motivated.
C Some students need to feel recognized by their teacher.
D Introvert learners can be specially motivated by sensitive comments.

An English teacher in 11th Grade shows a picture of herself with thought bubbles of lots of money, a
sports car, a big house and a world map. She asks her students what she is thinking about and then
introduces the target language: “If I had a lot of money, I would buy a sports car and a big house”.
She practices and drills the sentence orally before writing it on the board (positive, negative, question
and short answer). Then, she focuses on form by asking her students questions such as “What do we
use after “if”? and, on meaning, by asking the students questions to check that they have understood
0202018MINEDUC
the concept (e.g. “Do I have lots of money?” “No”. “What am I doing?” “I am imagining”).
PROPIEDAD DE
Considering the preceding classroom situation, which of the following is it most accurately referring
to?
A Presentation
B Intake
C Practice
D Input

A student’s family is moving away from school, so his English teacher sees this as an opportunity to
develop speaking skills with the class. He prepares an activity which involves the throwing of a farewell
party. First, he asks the students to brainstorm the type of party they would throw for a person who
is leaving and what they would need for that. Second, he prepares some cards that contain food
and drinks they might need for the party. Students pick a card and list the rest of the supplies they
might need and move around the classroom collecting information about who is bringing each of the
0202018MINEDUC
elements in the list.
Once they finish, the teacher divides the class in small groups to start planning the actual party. For
PROPIEDAD DE
this second stage, he assigns the children a number of questions to resolve, such as the time, presents
or anything else they consider should be added to the previous list.
At the end, each group presents its party plan and altogether decide which the best planned party is.
Which of the following would represent the approach the teacher is using in the preceding situation?
A Task-Based Learning.
B Group-Based Learning.
C Vocabulary-Based Approach.
D Presentation-Practice-Production.

Mr. Miranda is preparing his lesson for his new group of 16-year-old boys who are going to be electronic
technicians. He is aware that in the future his students will have to deal with written manuals and
technical documents in English to find details and information about machines and how to repair
them. He wants to include in each lesson reading strategies to train his students to find this type of
information as fast as they can in order to read efficiently.
Based on the previous situation, which option represents an activity Mr. Miranda can include in his
0202018MINEDUC
lessons in order to achieve this objective?
PROPIEDAD DE
A To find a name, date or definition in a written text.
B To predict information based on the title of a written passage.
C To create a semantic map after reading a text, at least twice.
D To identify literal and implied meaning of words in a written text.

Mr. Urrutia, an 11th Grade English teacher, is working on the lesson: “Famous Women in Chilean
History”. The objective is to express one’s views on important women that helped Chile in different
fields, using adverbs of frequency and simple past tense of regular and irregular verbs in affirmative
statements.
To fulfil this, he designed a power point presentation with three important women: Javiera Carrera,
Margot Duhalde and Helena Caffarena. He included pictures and historical facts highlighting past
0202018MINEDUC
tenses and adverbs of frequency; then he provided a study guideline that had to be answered in
groups, completing information and answering questions about these women using the grammar and
PROPIEDAD DE
vocabulary already specified.
Taking into account the previous context, which option will represent a coherent production activity in
Mr. Urrutia’s class, if his group is mostly composed of advanced learners of EFL?
A The teacher provides a short text as an example. Then, students have to investigate on a famous
woman and write a report following the model.
B Students have to investigate on a famous woman and present an oral report following, as
guidance, a set of questions provided by the teacher.
C The teacher provides the picture of a fourth important woman and asks students to formulate
questions that he answers emulating the woman’s responses.
D Students have to write a 150 word text using an opinion column format choosing among the
three famous women presented who, based on their beliefs, the most important woman for
Chilean history is.

Mr. Opazo invited seven of his best 12th Grade students to participate in the Regional Debate
Competition about the use of social networking sites among teenagers. He selected those students
because they had the best grades in his groups, were highly motivated students and openly said that
they enjoyed learning English. He was aware that he had to train his students; therefore, he prepared a
selection of articles related to the debate topic that they had to read and he arranged a week meeting
where they had to answer a set of questions orally about the read texts. Mr. Opazo was sure that his
0202018MINEDUC
students would succeed. Nevertheless, in the debate, when they had to express their ideas providing
examples or supporting their statements, students were unable to produce coherent messages and
PROPIEDAD DE
they were dismissed in the first round.
Considering the previous situation, which of the following could represent the most important reason
for these students’ failure?
A Mr. Opazo forgot to train in his students their linguistic competence; therefore their messages
were inaccurate.
B Mr. Opazo forgot to train in his students their sociolinguistic competence; consequently, they
used inappropriate language for a debate.
C Mr. Opazo forgot to train in his students their discourse competence; therefore, students were
unable to produce cohesive and coherent speeches.
D Mr. Opazo forgot to train in his students the grammar competence; consequently, students were
able to answer questions but only with isolated words.

Mrs. Rodriguez is planning her English lessons for 12th Grade C. She is aware that as this is their last
year of high school instruction, they will not have another opportunity to improve their command of
EFL. Therefore, she needs to collect information about what language skill is the weakest and what
grammar aspects need to be reinforced during the time left.
Based on the previous context, which option represents the correct instrument to fulfil this purpose
with 12th Grade C?
0202018MINEDUC
A An achievement summative quiz: to identify advanced learners and ask them to be tutors.
PROPIEDAD DE
B A drilling guideline: with the results, the teacher can group students into beginner, intermediate
or advanced learners.
C A pair assessment skill activity: in pairs, students role-play an improvised conversation on a unit
topic chosen by them.
D A standard-based self-assessment rubric: reporting to the teacher what they considered were
the most difficult aspects of the lesson.

Mrs. Becerra is concerned about 9th Grade A students’ writing skills. In her last lesson and after
a reading comprehension activity, she asked students to write a short report of 5-6 lines expressing
whether they agree or disagree with the author’s point of view in the article. Most of her students were
able to write only one sentence. When she asked them why they were unable to complete the task,
students told her that they were just used to answering questions in isolation. Mrs. Becerra is aware
that she has to train students’ command of this skill and to do so she has to start from controlled to
0202018MINEDUC
free practice of writing skills exposing students to activities that demand the construction of coherent
and cohesive texts.
PROPIEDAD DE
Considering the previous context, which of the following represents a correct strategy that Mrs.
Becerra can include at the beginning of her students’ written expression training?
A Reading texts aloud, asking students to extract some of the main ideas.
B Assigning a topic to brainstorm words that students have to use in sentences.
C Providing statements asking students to analyse them, paying attention to word functions.
D Presenting texts as models so students can replace information personalising their production.

During the last month Mrs. Pérez, a 10th Grade English teacher, has been working on the following
learning objetive with her students: to use the foreign language to express themselves by means

reports. She is devising some evaluating activities related to the unit “Technology and its Effects” with
this objective in mind.
Which of the following would be a correct evaluating activity to verify the achievement of such
0202018MINEDUC
language skill?
PROPIEDAD DE
A To have students reflect on the use of technology in their lives and then provide an oral list of
their ideas.
B To have pupils get in groups of three and comment on what Facebook has done with its clients’
personal information.
C To have students read an article on Technology, answer oral questions about it and provide an
oral summary of the text, individually.
D To have pupils watch a 3-minute video on the effects of social networking sites and then role
play a conversation in which a teenager suggests his classmate to enter a new social networking
site.

9th Grade students are working on the learning objective: to show comprehension of non-literary texts
looking for keys words, idioms, and vocabulary on Education and Lifelong learning. One of the activities
their English teacher has asked them to carry out is the following:
You have become fond of the latest tendencies about Nutrition and one of your friends tells you she
has found a perfect website where you can read excellent articles and tips on the topic. You look for
the site, open it and begin to read looking for:

One of the learning objectives in English in 11th Grade is “to express oneself orally by means
of monologues of about three minute extension and dialogues of about sixteen brief and simple
exchanges that incorporate communicative functions of previous years and the function of informing
what has been said by others, expressing a purpose”. While evaluating this objective achievement,
students in this level are asked to present a dialogue in groups of four in which they have to make use
of a given set of vocabulary words, expressions and with a given purpose. Each time a group performs
their dialogue, Mr. Fuentes, their English teacher, stops the conversation to correct grammar and/or
0202018MINEDUC
pronunciation mistakes made by students.
PROPIEDAD DE
According to the specific evaluative orientations stated for this level study program, why would Mr.
Fuentes not be acting in conformity to them?
A Because today’s learning theories state that oral expression is better developed within a relaxed
environment.
B Due to the fact that interrupting a student’s speech for correction inhibits the communicative
purpose of the task.
C Since foreign students would always make pronunciation mistakes and they would never
eliminate them completely.
D Because making mistakes is part of every learning process and students should be given
chances to express themselves freely.
