Propuesta Texto para El Segundo Módulo GOT

INTRODUCTION
A language has always been a decisive tool of Communication. From the very
beginning of our history, we have known that living in a society means, among other
things, need of communication.
Along the history of the mankind, the indispensable tool to understand and to be
understood is called Language; this is why anyone who wishes to spend his or her life
among humans needs to learn the language which is known by the one to whom we
wish to address.
Nevertheless, all over the world, we have a great number of languages spoken by so
many groups of people (cities, regions, countries, and so on), that it would be
impossible to know or to learn all of them. This is the reason for us to decide to learn
just some of those languages which are mostly spoken by people with whom we wish
to work or, at least, to interact.
In our world there is a language which has become a kind of an international
language because this one is spoken almost everywhere. This language is called
English.
Nowadays, wherever it is necessary to consider a foreign language as part of the list of
courses or subjects to be studied to become a professional, they almost always choose
English; the reasons are widely known, so I think it would be useless to insist on talking
about it.
Talking about the Tourism Field, I am convinced that all of those who expect to work in
tourism have to know, at least, the English Language. It would certainly be excellent to
learn more foreign and native languages. The more languages one may know, the
better chances he or she will have to communicate with a wider and wider varied range
of people.
The content of the text I decided to include in the following pages is very limited; but, at
the same time, it is a good and a challenging reason for the readers to start a serious
and intensive study of the topics considered here.
The text is divided in units. Each unit introduces one grammar topic by means of a very
short dialogue called Basic Conversation. Here, the goal for the student is to get
familiar with different sentences which express complete ideas which are combined in
such a way that they can form complete conversations. The next part is called
Grammar Structure which is nothing else but the explanation about how it is built and
how it works. Then, we have Pattern Examples. In this part the student is asked to
notice, analyze, and learn how the Pattern works and practice pronunciation and
fluency. The fourth step is called Response Exercises. Here the student is required to
understand questions and get logical answers built with his or her own words.
Afterwards we have Reading which is a step to show and teach the student how to
make a narrative out of a conversation, and Conversation in order to give the student a
chance to use the grammar topic taught in realistic dialogues. Finally, we have
Additional Activities to cover the related topics which are necessary to be reviewed if
any.

Pgina 1
Through these steps, I am convinced, if covered appropriately, that the student will
easily get the basic mastery of each grammar topic introduced here. Nevertheless, the
student must never forget that learning is a result of a very hard, serious, and constant
practice. In order to be successful, a student should always do his or her best.
Let us not forget that study and education are the key to freedom and, therefore, to
happiness. Besides, we have to bear in mind that, in order to offer a better and better
professional service, we have to get used to working towards a better and better
preparation. The sky is the bound, and responsibility is the way.
Finally, I invite the reader to study the text, learn the text, and, if possible, make a
better text in order to help the next students to have a better knowledge about the
topics and to cooperate with the development of the field.

BASIC CONVERSATION
Joe: So at last, we are going to arrive in Arequipa.
Lady: Yes, you are right.

J: It means that we have been in the craft for about one hour.
L: I have never taken a trip like this.
J: How often have you traveled by plane?
L: I have never done it.
GRAMMAR STRUCTURE 1
The Present Perfect tense is formed by the auxiliary HAVE or HAS and the Past
Participle of the Head Verb. This tense is used to refer to:
a. How often an action is repeated.
b. An action which started in the past and still continues in the present.
(There are other uses of this pattern, but they are not considered in the Syllabus).
The frequency adverbs are used to express approximately how many times a
customary or habitual action or condition is repeated.
PATTERN EXAMPLES

GRAMMAR STRUCTURE 2
The Simple Past tense is formed by the auxiliary DID and the simple form of the verb
in Negative statements and Questions, and by the Preterit of the head verb in
Affirmative statements. This rule dos not work with BE and the MODALS. This tense is
used to refer to:
a. An activity which happened sometime in the past.
(There are other uses of this pattern, but they are not considered in the Syllabus).

READING
Joe was talking with Lady while they were flying to Arequipa. When he realized that
they were getting to the airport, he told her that the plane was already landing. She
agreed and told him that the plane had taken off at eight oclock. It means that they
have been flying for about one hour. Lady told Joe that she had never taken a trip like
that. Joe asked her how often she had traveled by plane, and she replied that she had
never done it.
CONVERSATION
At this stage, the students will be asked to make questions and answer them in a
realistic way in couples using the Grammar Pattern(s) which is(are) being studied. (The
teacher must make sure that all the students are taking part).

L: I am still homesick but I think we will enjoy our stay in Arequipa.
J: Have you ever been away from home?

GRAMMAR STRUCTURE
STILL indicates that a situation continues the same as before. It is used in affirmative
and negative statements and in questions. It goes before the verb and after BE.
ANY MORE is the opposite of still. It indicates that a situation which used to exist does
not exist now. It occurs only at the end of a negative statement.
ALREADY indicates a time sooner or earlier than expected. It is used in affirmative
statements and in questions. It occupies the same position as still.
YET indicates a time later or longer than expected. It is used in negative statements
and in questions. It is placed at the end of the sentence.
PATTERN EXAMPLES

Pgina 7
L: Is that all she told you?

L: I hope she will not take long.
GRAMMAR STRUCTURE
We call Reported Speech to the way we communicate someone an idea told by
someone else. When we need to change a direct quotation into an indirect one, we
have to use the past tense of the verb (word or phrase). When changing sentences
with modals from direct to indirect quotation we have to consider that:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
g.
Can becomes Could.

Will becomes Would.
Shall becomes Should.
May becomes Might.
Must becomes Had to or remains Must.
Should remains Should.
Ought to remains Ought to.
(There are other uses of the modals, but they are not considered in this part of the
Syllabus).
PATTERN EXAMPLES
a. The receptionist said: You will have to give your passports to me
The receptionist said that we would have to give our passports to her.
b. The receptionist said: I can give them back to you right now

GRAMMAR STRUCTURE
There are many ways to express a request and to reply it. Almost all of them are
phrases that, in some ways, must not be changed to express the idea correctly. The
most common ways to express a request are:
Pgina 9
Could you?
Would you?
Can* you?
I wonder if
I would like
Would you be so kind as to?
The most common ways to answer a request positively are:
Certainly,
Yes, Sir (Madam) (Miss)
It will (would) be a pleasure
(Note that almost all of these expressions related to requests include a Modal; so, it is
necessary to check them).
* In formal English Can is not used to express a request, although many authors
consider the contrary.
PRACTICE
The point here is to let the students have a complete practice of all the grammar topics
taught so far. The students are going to be asked to work in couples a conversation
which must include Simple Past, Present Perfect Simple, Present Perfect Continuous,
Frequency adverbs, For, Since, Ago, Still, Yet, Already, Any More, reported speech, and
requests.
FIRST GRADED PRACTICE

This examination called First Graded Practice will be given in the second class of
the fifth week and it will consist on both a written quiz and a dialogue in couples.
UNIT 2 LESSON 6
BASIC CONVERSATION
Guide: Good morning Madam, good morning Sir. My name is Luis and I will be your
guide today. I hope you will enjoy this tour.
Joe: Nice to meet you, Luis. Are there many places to visit in Arequipa?
Guide: Yes, there are many good places, Sir.
J: How long have you been working as a Guide?
G: For more than 11 years, Sir.
J: Is it a good time to start a tour like this one?
Pgina 10
G: Yes, Sir; when the tour includes a visit to Santa Catalina Monastery.
L: Is it worth to visit that Monastery?
G: I am sure you will not regret it, Madam. It is considered a must for visitors.
L: Where is that Monastery?
G: It is very near, just 2 blocks away from the main square.
GRAMMAR STRUCTURE
The verb BE becomes AM, IS, and ARE in Present Tense. AM is only used with the
first singular person; IS, with the third singular persons; and ARE, with the second
singular person and plurals.
In Basic English, BE is used to express some situations which are expressed by
different verbs or by no verb at all- in other languages. Use BE to tell about:
Profession, Trade, Occupation, Nationality, Age, Characteristics, Condition, Size,
Shape, Color, Place, etc.
To refer to the existence of whatever is mentioned in the rest of the sentence, BE
usually follows THERE. The form of the verb agrees in number, singular or plural, with
the subject, which comes after it. Most simple statements beginning with the expletive
THERE require a place expression to complete them.
PATTERN EXAMPLES
-
I am a good teacher.
My father is a businessman.
We are Peruvian.
Mary is serious.
Miss Rodriguez is ill.
Is this book big?
My house isnt green.

Luis introduced himself to Joe and Lady. He said that he would be their guide and that
he had been working as a tour guide for more than ten years. Lady asked Luis if it was
worth to visit Santa Catalina Monastery. Luis told her that yes, and that they would not
regret visiting it. Besides he told them that Santa Catalina Monastery was considered a
must for visitors.
CONVERSATION
At this stage, the students will be asked to perform a dialogue in couples using the
Grammar Pattern which is being studied. (The teacher must make sure that all the
students are taking part).
UNIT 2 LESSON 7
BASIC CONVERSATION
Joe: Luis, do you have any maps of the downtown section of Arequipa?
Guide: Yes, Sir. Here you are, and keep it with you.
L: Do all of the tour guides in Arequipa speak many languages?
G: Not all, but most of them do, especially the most experienced ones.
J: Does the weather in Arequipa change along the year?
G: No, it doesnt. This is the average weather along the year.
Pgina 12
J: Why do we have to have another guide inside the Monastery?

T: Because it is a rule, since it is run by a private company.
GRAMMAR STRUCTURE
The Simple Present Tense is not at all simple since it requires the use of S-FORMS
as well as SIMPLE FORMS (the ones you find in a dictionary). It does not express
present activity, either. Sentences with present tense verbs express repeated,
customary, and habitual actions. They also express general truths.
To make negative statements or questions, we need the AUXILIARY DO or DOES,
depending on the subject of the sentence. The forms of DO combine with NOT into
contractions.
(There are other uses of DO, but they are not considered in the Syllabus).
PATTERN EXAMPLES
-
The students speak English.

The teacher comes on Tuesdays and Fridays.
My father works in Arequipa.
The tourists like Arequipa very much.

UNIT 2 LESSON 8
BASIC CONVERSATION
Lady: Excuse me, Luis. What time is the Cathedral open on Sundays?
Guide: For visitors, it is open from 2:00 to 4:00 in the afternoon, Madam.
L: Why isnt it open in the morning?
G: It is open, Madam, but only for religious service.
L: Why is it so?
G: Because most Catholic People in Arequipa go to mass on Sundays.
L: Is it closed after 4:00 in the afternoon?
G: No, Madam. They open it late in the afternoon, but just for religious service.
GRAMMAR STRUCTURE
Pgina 14
To refer to days of the week, it is almost always necessary to use the preposition
ON. Dates are expressed in a very singular way. In written form they are introduced by
the preposition ON and a cardinal number, whereas in oral language the cardinal
number is changed by the corresponding ordinal number preceded by THE.

GRAMMAR STRUCTURE
To say shortly yes or no in polite English, we use these words along with
auxiliaries or function verbs. In affirmative short forms, YES is followed by the subject
and the auxiliary or function verb. In negative short forms, NO is followed by the subject
and the contraction of the auxiliary or function verb and NOT.

UNIT 3 LESSON 11
BASIC CONVERSATION
(Joe and Lady were admiring the beauty of the view. A waiter came and the dialogue
began)
Waiter: May I take your order?
Joe: Not yet, Sir. What is your name?
W: My name is Mike.
J: Mike, your accent is very singular. Arent you from here?
W: Yes, I am, Sir. But my father was working for DHL and when I was 5 years old, his
company sent him to work in the US.
L: I understand it. Your parents had to take you with them to live in the States, right?
W: Yes, Sir. I have lived among Americans; that is why I learned their accent.
J: Ok Mike. Let me tell you that you remind me my father. His name is also Mike.
W: Oh! What a coincidence!
GRAMMAR STRUCTURE
Possessive adjectives are words that qualify nouns and, at the same time, express
possession. In English we have 7 possessive adjectives and all of them always occur
before non-qualified nouns. They may also occur before another adjective which might
qualify the referred noun.
(There are other forms to express possession, but they are not considered in this part
of the Syllabus).
PATTERN EXAMPLES

My Classroom is comfortable.
Your name is very easy to remember.

The waiter asked Joe and Lady if he might take their order. Joe thought that it was not
time yet and told the waiter so. He asked him what his name was. The waiter said that
it was Mike. Joe commented that Mikes accent was very singular. He wanted to know
if he was from here. Mike said that yes, that he was from here but since his father had
to work in the US, he had to travel to live with him when he was scarcely 5 years old.
So, he learned the American accent because he lived among them. Finally, Joe told
Mike that he reminded him his father because his name was also Mike. The waiter was
surprised by the coincidence.

When Joe and Lady were ready to order, they told the waiter so. First, they asked for
the menu, and the waiter handled one to them. Joe didnt know what Palta Rellena
was. The Waiter said that it was Stuffed Avocado. In order to avoid reading all the
menu, Joe asked the waiter what the specialty of the house was. The waiter replied
that it was roasted guinea pig and advised them to try it. Both of them agreed and
ordered it. They also asked for ice cream for dessert. Then, the waiter asked if they
were not going to have anything to drink. Lady asked for mineral water for both of
them. She also asked the waiter to bring an extra empty dish.

BASIC CONVERSATION
(Joe and Lady were getting through eating, when the waiter approached to them)
Waiter: How was your meal, Sir?
Joe: It was great! The roasted guinea pig was very delicious.
L: I wonder if you could tell me how to prepare it.
W: Certainly, Madam. It is very easy to prepare it. Once you have the guinea pig clean,
put it to the sun rays to get fairly dry. Then, cover it with corn flour and salt wet with a
little Coca Cola and a dash of pisco (grape Peruvian liquor). Afterwards, pour some oil
in a frying pan. Once the oil is steaming hot, put the guinea pig in. It is necessary to put
a clean flat piece of stone to get a well done guinea pig. Serve it with fried and salt
pieces of potato. The potatoes must be boiled first and you shouldnt chop them.

L: Thank you very much. I appreciate it a lot!

L: You are welcome, Madam. Anything to please a customer!
