El Fondo Editorial de la Universidad Inca Garcilaso de la Vega


participa como editor y productor de los textos universitarios para los
estudiantes de pregrado de la modalidad de Educación a Distancia.
Esta labor exige del personal directivo, académico, profesional y téc-
nico una visión de conjunto de las estrategias metodológicas propias
de esta modalidad. El trabajo del Fondo Editorial se desarrolla en el
diseño, diagramación y corrección de estilo lingüístico de los textos
universitarios. Los contenidos están ubicados en los tres grandes
campos del conocimiento: científico, humanístico o artístico.
El esfuerzo compartido con las Facultades, a través de sus
docentes-tutores, autores de los referidos libros, conduce, sin
duda alguna, a la elaboración de textos de buena calidad, los
cuales podrán utilizarse a través de la página web o mediante la
presentación física clásica.
En los últimos quince años, la modalidad de Educación a Dis-
tancia ha evolucionado, pasando por el e-learning, que privilegia la
formación profesional digital; b-learning, que combina lo tradicional
y lo nuevo en el proceso de la formación profesional; hasta la apro-
ximación actual al móvil learning, que aparece como la síntesis de
todo lo anterior y una proyección al futuro.
Con todo ello, el Fondo Editorial reitera su compromiso de parti-
cipar en la tarea universitaria de formación académica y profesional,
acorde con los tiempos actuales.

INTRODUCCIÓN

El Cuaderno de Inglés I, ha sido preparado para que el alumno


pueda conocer las bases del idioma Inglés. Se ha elaborado pensando
que sea fácil y sencillo de seguir, para que el idioma se aprenda sin
dificultad.

Los estudiantes normalmente se benefician de escuchar cuanto


puedan del idioma Inglés, por esto se aconseja que cada vez que
sea posible, escuchen canciones, programas, conversaciones, etc.
en inglés. Cuanto más entrenen su oído más entenderán el idioma
ya que “La práctica hace al maestro”.

Cada lección tiene vocabulario nuevo, el cual deberá aprenderse


y utilizarse según las instrucciones. La pronunciación es importante;
por ello se ha escrito la pronunciación y la acentuación entre barras
y en letras cursivas. /xx/. Ejemplo: car /kár/ elephant /élefant/.

Siempre se recomienda tener un buen diccionario a mano.


Una vez aprendida una lección, se puede continuar los ejercicios
con palabras nuevas que uno mismo puede añadir a su lista perso-
nal. Además de los ejercicios presentados, Ud. puede acceder a las
páginas de internet que se citan al final de cada unidad, en donde
podrá encontrar una variedad de ejercicios para continuar con su
aprendizaje y ampliar sus horizontes. Además encontrará videos y
actividades de audio que le serán muy útiles.

El presente texto contiene explicaciones gramaticales y ejemplos


prácticos para facilitar el aprendizaje del alumno. Una vez compren-
dida la teoría se continúa con la práctica. Ésta no solamente debe
ser escrita, pues el idioma Inglés es muy diferente tanto como se lee
z9 z
INGLES I

que como se escribe, sino que también se debe leer en voz alta para
acostumbrarse a los nuevos sonidos que se utilizarán.

Se recomienda que trate de resolver los ejercicios por cuenta


propia y al final pueda comparar las soluciones obtenidas con las
correctas. Esto le permitirá tener confianza y seguridad sobre lo
que está aprendiendo y al mismo tiempo podrá medir sus logros
personales. Si su verdadero deseo es ser un buen profesional, hará
todo lo posible por ser honrado consigo mismo. Verá que el esfuerzo
vale la pena.

Deseando que sus esfuerzos tengan éxito y que en este mun-


do globalizado pueda desempeñarse como buen profesional bien
preparado para enfrentar todo tipo de retos, les dedico esta obra.

METODOLÓGICAS
ESTRUCTURA: El manual de INGLÉS I está dividido en Cuatro
Unidades Didácticas para facilitar el estudio. Cada Unidad contiene
pequeñas lecciones que, en conjunto, deberá estudiar, aprender y
practicar en un promedio de cuatro semanas por unidad. La Unidad
empieza con un título que le ayudará a tomar conciencia de lo que
aprenderá y cómo puede serle útil la información. Cada Lección
contiene tanto la explicación como los ejemplos necesarios para
su mejor entendimiento. Las lecciones contienen ejercicios, ayudas
gramaticales y links para poder practicar lo aprendido.

SUMILLA: El curso de Inglés I es una asignatura de naturaleza


eminentemente práctica y secuencial, tiene el propósito de brindar-
le al alumno las herramientas y estrategias necesarias para poder
conectarse con el idioma (por primera vez) a un nivel básico o de
activar conocimientos, y desarrollar o fortalecer los conocimientos
previamente adquiridos para ser usados en el ambiente laboral.

Se desarrollaran los contenidos en cuatro unidades temáticas:

1. Introducciones – Información personal

2. El trabajo y la Oficina

3. La ciudad y los medios

4. Buscando y solicitando empleo

z1 1 z
INGLES I

OBJETIVO: El estudiante al concluir la asignatura de Inglés I


adquirirá y/o reactivará habilidades básicas de: escuchar, hablar,
leer y escribir; haciendo uso de estrategias metodológicas activas e
interactivas, complementadas con ayudas didácticas de audio, video,
multimedia y recursos virtuales.

ESTRATEGIA DE APRENDIZAJE: Tenga un buen diccionario bi-


lingüe a mano. (Inglés - español / español – inglés) Consiga uno de
bolsillo, de preferencia. Establezca un horario personal de estudio
diario. Sujétese a él y no lo varíe por nada. Sea regular y constante.
Motívese. Al leer la situación o caso de la Unidad piense: “¿Cómo me
puede ayudar esta información?”. Primero, lea bien las instrucciones
y/o explicaciones. Observe y analice los ejemplos. Trate de explicar
lo que se ha leído. Practique con los ejercicios. Hágalo todas las
veces que considere necesario hasta que se sienta seguro. Repase
los ejercicios de pronunciación que están al final del Texto. Hágalos
con calma, repítalos cada vez que sea necesario. Aprenda el glosario
final. Que éste le brinde la base para edificar un nuevo vocabulario.
Añada cuantas palabras considere necesarias. Si hay alguna palabra
en especial que le interesa búsquela en el diccionario y agréguela al
glosario. Aumente la variedad de ejercicios buscando las páginas de
Internet que se sugieren al final del Texto. Como último paso, desa-
rrolle la AUTOEVALUACION. Ponga a prueba todo lo que aprendió.
Una vez que lo logre pase a la siguiente Unidad.

EVALUACIÓN: Se estudiará las tres primeras Unidades para el


Primer Parcial, y las tres últimas Unidades para el Segundo Parcial.
El examen sustitutorio se basará en las seis Unidades.

The verb “to be” is an exceptional verb in English. It has special rules that are not
applied to any other verb. We are going to learn how to use it in the Present Tense.

This verb is usually used with the contraction in writing and in speaking in an informal
environment. But if you are writing documents at work, in a formal environment, you
never use the contraction.

LESSON 4

SAYING THE DATE,


TELLING THE TIME

4.1 ORDINAL NUMBERS


We must learn the ordinal numbers in order to read the date, because in English every
day in the calendar is an ordinal number. It is also used for anniversaries, position, order,
rank, etc.

To form an ordinal number we begin from the cardinal number form and add TH at the
end of the word with some exceptions.
Cardinal Ordinal Abbreviated
One first 1st
Two second 2nd
Three third 3rd
Four fourth 4th
Five fifth 5th
Six sixth 6th
Seven seventh 7th
Eight eighth 8th
Nine ninth 9th
Ten tenth 10th
Eleven eleventh 11th
Twelve twelfth 12th
Thirteen thirteenth 13th
z5 5 z
INGLES I

Fourteen fourteenth 14th


Fifteen fifteenth 15th
Sixteen sixteenth 16th
Seventeen seventeenth 17th
Eighteen eighteenth 18th
Nineteen nineteenth 19th
Twenty twentieth 20th
Twenty one twenty first 21st
Thirty two thirty second 32nd
Fifty six fifty sixth 56th
Ninety four ninety fourth 94th
One hundred one hundredth 100th
One thousand one thousandth 1000th
Ten thousand ten thousandth 10000th
One million one millionth 1000000th

As you can see the first three ordinal numbers are completely different from their
cardinal form.
Numbers 5 and 12 change the V in the ordinal for F.
Number 9 skips letter E of the cardinal form.
Numbers ending in TY change to TIETH when converted in ordinals.
But all of the rest keep their cardinal form and you only have to add the TH at the
end. In the abbreviated form the last two letters are written.
For numbers bigger than twenty only the last word (number) is changed into the
ordinal form.

4.2 SAY THE DATE


For saying the date we have to learn first the days of the week, but remember always
to write them beginning with a capital letter:
1. Monday
2. Tuesday
3. Wednesday WORKDAYS
4. Thursday
5. Friday
6. Saturday
7. Sunday
WEEKEND
Then we have the months of the year, they also begin with a capital letter:
1. January
2. February
3. March
4. April
5. May
6. June
7. July
8. August
z5 6 z
L i l i a E v ely n G u z m á n V i d a l - D el i a R o c i o G a n v i n i A s e n c i o s

9. September
10. October
11. November
12. December

To read the years in English you have to separate the numbers in two groups.

1862 eighteen sixty two


1956 nineteen fifty six
1734 seventeen thirty four
1567 fifteen sixty seven

But it is different when there are many zeros.

1900 nineteen hundred


1600 sixteen hundred
1200 twelve hundred
2000 two thousand
2005 two thousand five WELL DONE!
2009 two thousand nine

But:

2010 twenty ten


2011 twenty eleven
2016 twenty sixteen

When reading the date in American English it is first said the month, then the day and
the year. Here is an example: the first is the abbreviated form of the date, the second is
the written form of it and the third is the way we say it.

Abbreviated Written Read


03/04/2016 March 4th, 2016 March fourth, twenty sixteen.
10/12/06 October 12th, 2006 October twelfth, two thousand six.
07/01/12 July 1st, 2012 July first, twenty twelve.
01/14/10 January 14th, 2010 January fourteenth, twenty ten.
11/06/02 November 6th, 2002 November sixth, two thousand two.

The date has a different order in British English. They read the date like we do. First
the day, then the month to finish with the year, like this:

04/03/2016 4th March, 2016 The fourth of March, twenty sixteen

LESSON 5

THE WORKPLACE

5.1 WH-QUESTIONS
There are two kinds of questions as we have seen in Unit 1. Yes / no questions and
wh-questions that ask for information. These last types of questions are the following:

• What To ask for things, animals, situations or confirmation.

What’s that? That is my new bag.

What are those? Those are baby bunnies.

What’s happening? The teacher is angry for our grades.

What? You have to study more!

• When To ask for date.

When is the concert? It´s next Sunday.

When is the exam? It’s tomorrow.

z6 3 z
INGLES I

• Where To ask for places.

Where is Bangkok? It’s in Thailand.

Where is my book? It’s on your chair.

• Who To ask for people.

Who’s that? That’s Mary.

Who’s here? John is here.

• How ask for manner, condition or indications.

How are you? Fine, thank you.

How is this? You have to read first and then answer.

5.2 SIMPLE PRESENT TENSE (OTHER VERBS)


To form the simple present is easy because every person keeps the same form of the
verb except the third person singular which you add: -s, -es, or –ies to the verb.
PRONOUN VERB
FIRST PERSON I Work
SINGULAR

SECOND PERSON You Work


He Works
THIRD PERSON She Works
It Works
We Work
You Work
They Work

When the verb ends in: o, s, sh, ch, x you add –es:
Example: Go goes
Do does
Pass passes
Watch watches
Crash crashes
Mix mixes

When the verb ends in: other letters you add –s:
Example: Work Works
Smell smells
Move moves
Read reads
z6 4 z
L i l i a E v ely n G u z m á n V i d a l - D el i a R o c i o G a n v i n i A s e n c i o s

When the verb ends with –y you change it for –ies, but if there is a vowel before the
–y it does not change.
Example: Study studies
Carry carries
Try tries
Play plays

We use the auxiliary do or does to make interrogative and negative sentences. Do is


used for all subjects except for the third person singular where we use does.

SENTENCE INTERROGATIVE AFFIRMATIVE NEGATIVE


I have... Do I have...? Yes, I do. No, I don’t.
You have... Do you have...? Yes, you do. No, you don’t.
He has... Does he have...? Yes, he does. No, he doesn’t.
She has... Does she have...? Yes, she does. No, she doesn’t.
It has... Does it have...? Yes, it does. No, it doesn’t.
We have... Do we have...? Yes, we do. No, we don’t.
You have... Do you have...? Yes, you do. No, you don’t.

8.1 ADJECTIVES POSITION


An adjective describes a noun or the thing or person. An adjective always go before
that noun.
Example: The green apple is not on the table.
My old car is in the garage.
Your new dress is in the closet.

When we describe a noun with more than one adjective, they are separated by commas.
Example: That big, round pie is delicious.
The little, old computer isn’t mine.
The short, slim girl is my friend.

The colors are not separated by commas, except when there are more than two.

Example: I like the red and black shoes.


That white and black blouse is here.

LESSON 9

THE MEDIA

9.1 COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES


The comparative form of adjectives is used to compare two or more similar things.
There are some rules to follow.

It is formed by adding –er at the end of the adjective:


Example: High higher
Low lower

If the adjective ends on a stressed vowel +consonant the last consonant is doubled.
Example: big bigger
Hot hotter

Adjectives ending in –e you only add –r.


Example: nice nicer
Safe safer

Adjectives ending in –y you change it for –ier. But if the adjective has a vowel before
the –y you only add –er.
Example: Heavy heavier
happy happier

z1 0 7 z
INGLES I

Adjectives with two or more syllables do not add –er, you write more before the
adjective.
Example: Beautiful more beautiful
more interesting
Interesting

Some two syllable adjectives can be used in two forms:


Example: Friendly friendlier more friendly
Gentle gentler more gentle

The last group do not follow a rule and are called irregular.
Example: good/well better
Bad worse
Far farther/further

When you make a sentence comparing two things you must use the comparative
adjective +than.
Example: Love is better than hate.
The cat is faster than the dog.

9.2 SUPERLATIVE ADJECTIVES


They are formed adding –est at the end of the adjective.
Example: Tall tallest
Low lowest

If the adjective ends on a stressed vowel +consonant the last consonant is doubled
Example: big biggest
Thin thinnest

Adjectives ending in –e you only add –est.


Example: nice nicest
Safe safest

Adjectives ending in –y you change it for –iest. But if the adjective has a vowel be-
fore the –y you only add –est.
Example: happy happiest
Heavy heaviest

Adjectives with two or more syllables do not add –est, you write the most before
the adjective.
Example: Beautiful the most beautiful
Interesting the most interesting

Some two syllable adjectives can be used in two forms:


Example: Friendly friendliest the most friendly
Gentle gentlest the most gentle

z1 0 8 z
L i l i a E v ely n G u z m á n V i d a l - D el i a R o c i o G a n v i n i A s e n c i o s

The last group are those irregular adjectives.


Example: good/well the best
Bad the worst
Far the farthest/furthest

The superlative expresses the most of quality among two or more things in a group.
Example: Love is the best feeling on earth.
Girls are the most beautiful creatures in the world

9.3 THE MEDIA


When you hear the word “media” immediately it is related to the communication
means. Long time ago, people knew about things from one another just by speaking.
Then, the newspaper was the means of news: local or not. Later, the radio added a voi-
ce to the news. Now we have different means of communication: telephone, television,
cellphone, internet, etc.

From each of them there is a wide variety. For example in newspapers we have:
daily newspapers, weekly newspapers, tabloids, broadsheets, popular newspaper, qua-
lity newspaper, supplement, magazine, comic.

There are also the means of transport. You can travel by land, air or sea. The options
for traveling by land are many: by rail, bus, coach, car, truck, motorbike, bike, etc. For
traveling by air we have: aircraft, airplane, jet, helicopter, etc. When you travel by sea
you can do it by ship, boat, yatch, sailboat, transatlantic, cruise, etc.

LESSON 10

READING A NEWSPAPER AD

10.1 PRESENT CONTINUOUS


The present continuous is formed by the verb to be and adding the suffix –ing to the
main verb to form the gerund. This combination indicates that the action is in progress
in that very moment.
Example: Susan is reading a novel.
The teacher is taking an exam.
The dogs are chasing your cat.
My mother is preparing lunch.

The interrogative is made by changing the order of the subject and the verb to be:
Example: Is Susan reading a novel?
Is the teacher taking an exam?
Are the dogs chasing your cat?
Is my mother preparing lunch?

The negative form is added to the verb to be:


Example: Susan isn’t reading a novel.
The teacher isn’t taking an exam.
The dogs aren’t chasing your cat.
My mother isn’t preparing lunch.

z1 1 9 z
INGLES I

Here is a list to see how the –ing is added to the different types of verbs:

BASE FORM GERUND


Be being
Bring bringing
Build building
Buy buying
Come coming
Cost costing
Do doing
Drink drinking
Eat eating
Find finding
Get getting
Give giving
Go going
Have having
Learn learning
Make making
Meet meeting
Run running
Say saying
Sell selling
Show showing
Sing singing
Sit sitting
Sleep sleeping
Stand standing
Write writing

READING:

Karl’s working at MGA.

He’s going to his office now.

He’s running. It’s late.

The sun is shining behind the building.

10.2 NEWSPAPER AD
When you need to look for a job you read the ads (advertisements) in the newspaper
or on the internet. There is usually a “classified ads” section, where you can find job
opportunities. Sometimes they are easy to read but not always.

Fuente: https://bemoreenglishonline.files.wordpress.com/2014/03/subway.gif

As you can see in the example, the main information an ad has is: the name of the
entity, posts offered, requirements, address, phone number and e-mail or internet ad-
dress. Some posts require special qualifications as:
• MBA Master of Business Administration degree
• B.A. Bachelor of Arts degree
• B. Com Bachelor of Commerce degree
• Min. Matric Minimum Matriculation
• BBA Bachelor of Business Administration degree
• MA Master of Arts

The things that companies usually ask are:


• Résumé (CV)
• Cover letter (optional)
• Photograph

LESSON 11

WRITING A RESUME

11.1 IMPERATIVES
Imperatives are commands that are expressed using the base form of the verb and
usually without a subject. In many situations commands are made politely saying please
at the beginning or at the end of the command.
Examples: Sit down. Please sit down.
Come in. Come in, please
Show me your passport. Show me your passport, please
Everybody sit down. Please everybody sit down

When imperatives express warnings, as in a danger alert, it is not used the polite way.
Examples: Caution!
Danger!
Keep out!
Do not enter!
Cross here!
Stop!

You can also forbid actions using the negative.


Examples: Don’t be late. Please don’t be late.
Don’t sleep Don’t sleep, please.
Don’t disturb. Please don’t disturb

11.4 THE RESUME AND COVER LETTER


A résumé or CV and a cover letter or covering letter, are important when you apply for
a job. Those documents are the first impression that the employer has of you.

The résumé shows all your studies and skills. It represents you before the job inter-
view. Therefore, it has to be attractive, informative, and persuasive to sell you as the
perfect candidate for the post.

The cover letter expresses why do you want to work in that specific entity, the expe-
rience and qualifications you have and any other skills that will help you perform the job.
The cover letter is always the first thing employers read before the CV.

LESSON 12

A JOB INTERVIEW

12.1 THERE IS / THERE ARE


We also use there is/are to talk about how many people or things are. Or we use
there to indicate a place.
Example: How many people are in the living room?
There are sixteen people.
Is there any bakery here?
Yes, there are two around the corner.
Where is the policeman?
There he is, on the corner.
I can’t see my dog.
He is there, behind the tree.

12.2 FREQUENCY ADVERBS


Frequency adverbs express how often or how long you perform something. The most
common are: Frequency
• Always 100%
• Usually 90%
• Frequently 70%
• Often 70%
• Sometimes 50%
• Seldom 10%
• Rarely 10%
• Never 0%
z1 3 9 z

We sometimes read the newspapers.
Our boss seldom visits us.
They never invite friends to their house.

12.3 JOB INTERVIEW


For a job interview the applicant must be prepared from the beginning. First, use formal
clothing, clean and neat. The first impression is very important. Men use to wear a suit but
women have to be careful to their appearance and make up.

Get to the interview early, ten or fifteen minutes before the time scheduled. Be polite
with the receptionist and with everyone you meet. Do not feel nervous. Don’t chew gum. It
doesn’t look well.

Answer the questions politely and with firm voice. Do not yell and do not tell jokes. Make
a good eye contact; it helps to see that you know what you are talking about. Keep a nice
smile, it always helps.

Express your expectations with confidence. Do not show that you are going to accept anything.
Do not say negative things of your former colleagues. It doesn’t say anything good of you.

When it is finished, thank the interviewer by his name and leave closing softly the door.

12.5 READING
There are many interesting places to visit in any city. But I prefer to visit the mu-
seums. There you can learn about the history, customs, and origin of the people who
live there.

Some museums show the fauna and flora, others show machines, others pictures,
toys, books, stamps, and so forth. For example, in the United States are about 17,000
museums and almost 900 million people visit them each year.

Everywhere you go you can find History museums and historic houses. They are the
most common type of museums. Natural history museums display ecosystems and co-
llection of animals and things that do not exist anymore, only in a museum.

Zoos are considered museums, where you find a large display of animals from all
around the world. Aquariums are specialized zoos to provide educational and recreatio-
nal experiences.

LESSON 11
11.4 THE RESUME AND COVER LETTER
A résumé or CV and a cover letter or covering letter, are important when you apply for
a job. Those documents are the first impression that the employer has of you.

The résumé shows all your studies and skills. It represents you before the job inter-
view. Therefore, it has to be attractive, informative, and persuasive to sell you as the
perfect candidate for the post.

The cover letter expresses why do you want to work in that specific entity, the expe-
rience and qualifications you have and any other skills that will help you perform the job.
The cover letter is always the first thing employers read before the CV.

why she wants to work with them. She sends the CV and covering letter by email, and

terview. She is very happy that they are calling her. She prepares carefully her clothing
and her papers the day before the appointment because she doesn’t want to be late.
She likes to be on time.

LESSON 12
12.5 READING
There are many interesting places to visit in any city. But I prefer to visit the museums.
There you can learn about the history, customs, and origin of the people who live there.

Some museums show the fauna and flora, others show machines, others pictures,
toys, books, stamps, and so forth. For example, in the United States are about 17,000
museums and almost 900 million people visit them each year.

Everywhere you go you can find History museums and historic houses. They are the
most common type of museums. Natural history museums display ecosystems and co-
llection of animals and things that do not exist anymore, only in a museum.

PRONUNCIATION DRILLS
These exercises are prepared for you to practice English pronunciation through groups
of similar pronunciation. (minimal pair drills).

NOTE: Vowels are considered voiced. They will be learned by groups.

*These sounds correspond to the combination “th”. There is a “voiced” th and a “voice-
less” th. The voiced th sounds almost like /d/, and the voiceless th are like the Spanish
“z”.
