b) presentarte a ti mismo y a otros,
c) pedir y dar información personal básica sobre tu domicilio, tus pertenencias y el
de las personas que conoces,
d) relacionarte de forma elemental siempre que tu interlocutor hable despacio y con
claridad y esté dispuesto a cooperar.
El objetivo de la presente guía es proporcionarte de una manera clara y concreta los

STUDY: PRESENT SIMPLE AFFIRMATIVE
USE
We use the simple present to talk about: repeated actions, facts and generalizations.
1. Repeated actions
Use the present simple tense to express the idea that an action is repeated or usual. The
action can be a habit, a hobby, a daily event, a scheduled event or something that often
happens. It can also be something a person often forgets or usually does not do.
She plays tennis.
birthday
The train leaves every morning at 8 am.
John always forgets my
2. Facts or Generalizations
The Simple Present can also indicate the speaker believes that a fact was true before, is
true now, and will be true in the future. It is not important if the speaker is correct about
the fact. It is also used to make generalizations about people or things.
Cats like milk.
Women drive terribly.

STUDY: PRESENT SIMPLE QUESTIONS
We can make two kinds of questions in the simple present: the open or information
questions and the close, direct or yes/no questions.
Study the following examples of yes/no questions:
Do you go to school on Friday?
Yes, I do. I go to school on Friday.
No, I don‘t. I don‘t go to school on Friday.
Do you always have lunch?
Yes, I do. I always have lunch.
No, I don‘t. I sometimes have lunch.
USE
Notice that when the subject is third person (he, she, it), we use the auxiliary does and
the verb form of the main verb doesn’t change.
Does Lucy always have lunch?
Yes, she does. She always has lunch.
No, she doesn‘t. She sometimes has lunch.
The open questions provide us with information about:
Person
Activity
Place
Time
Hour
Option
Way to do things
Reason
Frequency
Cost
Quantity
Who?
What?
Where?
When?
What time?
Which?
How?
Why?
How often?
How much?
How many?
FORM
Take a look at the following questions and identify the elements that form them.
Underline each one.
Where do your parents live?
How often do you wash your hair?
What does this word mean?
How much does it cost to fly to Rome?
Remember that the open questions are formed by a Wh- question, the auxiliary do/does
which changes according to the subject, the complement and the verb. Don´t forget the
question mark!

STUDY: PRESENT CONTINUOUS AFFIRMATIVE AND NEGATIVE
USE
We use the present continuous to talk about actions in progress happening at the moment of
speaking and actions in progress happening around the moment of speaking.
1. Actions happening now:
Use the present continuous to express the idea that something is happening now, at this
very moment. It can also be used to show that something is not happening now.
Maria is running.
She isn’t jumping.
Sue and Tom are watching T.V.
They aren’t dancing.
Jim is reading a book.
He isn’t playing ball.
2. Actions happening around now:
In English, "now" can mean: this second, today, this month, this year, this century, etc.
Sometimes, we use the Present Continuous to say that we are in the process of doing a longer
action, which is in progress; however, we might not be doing it at this exact second.
Study the following conversation between James and Susan in a restaurant:
James: What are you studying?
Susan: I‘m studying to be a doctor.
James: Are you reading any good books?
Susan: No. I‘m only reading medicine books. And you?
James: I‘m reading Tom Sawyer. I love it!
James and Susan are eating dinner in a restaurant. He is not reading ―Tom Sawyer‖ at the
moment of speaking. But at this moment of his life, He is reading ―Tom Sawyer‖.

READING SECTION
―What is that?‖ Ronald Johnson thinks.
Ronald Johnson is a student in Kansas (the USA). He is on his way home. Suddenly he
sees a glowing mushroom-shaped object flying one meter above the ground. Ronald is
afraid and fascinated. The mushroom is making a strange sound. Suddenly the sound
changes and the object quickly takes off into the night sky.
As it leaves, the bright light blinds Ronald.
This is a famous story about a sighting of a UFO. But is the story true?
Every year, thousands of people see strange lights or objects in the sky. Some scientists
believe that these are reflections from the sun or stars, gases or even birds. Other
scientists, like Dr. Allen Hynek, disagree. Dr. Hynek is an astronomer and works at the
Centre for UFO Studies in Chicago. He says that scientists can explain most things, but
there are cases – as many as 10% of the sightings – that they can‘t explain. He says that
many reports come from serious people who take lie detector tests to show that they are
telling the truth. Also, there are often physical signs, like marks on the ground or strange
bits of metal.
Because of this, Dr. Hynek and scientists like him believe that there‘s life in the outer
space.
Circle true or false:
1 Ronald Johnson is an engineer for the NASA.
2 The unidentified flying object (UFO) was flying 3 meters above the
ground.
3 The object doesn‘t make any sound.
4 All the scientists believe in this story.

“Famous Bridges”
People and vehicles use bridges to cross bodies of water, valleys and roads. If you ask people to
name some famous American bridges, they probably will include the Golden Gate Bridge in
San Francisco, California and the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City. Both are suspension
bridges. They cross great distances and have roadways that hang from steel cables supported by
high towers.
You may think the Golden Gate Bridge was named for its orange color. But it is named for the
body of water that it crosses - the Golden Gate Strait. The Golden Gate Strait is the entrance to
the San Francisco Bay from the Pacific Ocean. The Golden Gate Bridge links the city of San
Francisco with Marin County, California.
Joseph Strauss designed the bridge. It opened in 1937. The Golden Gate Bridge extends 1,280
meters across the water. It was the longest suspension bridge in the world until 1964. That is
when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City. Still, the Golden Gate Bridge
has become famous around the world. And many people consider it to be the most beautiful
bridge structure in the world.
The Brooklyn Bridge is much older than the Golden Gate. It was one of the first great
suspension bridges. It was built between 1869 and 1883. John Augustus Roebling designed the
bridge. But he died as a result of an accident at the start of its construction.
His son, Washington Roebling, replaced him as chief engineer. But he became sick while
working underwater. Washington Roebling was not able to go to the construction area. Yet he
continued to direct the operations through his wife, Emily.
The Brooklyn Bridge links Brooklyn with Manhattan Island. It extends 486 meters over the East
River. It was the longest bridge in the world until the Firth of Forth cantilever bridge was built
in Scotland in 1890. Today, thousands of cars, trucks, bicycles and people cross the Brooklyn
Bridge every day.

hungry.
fighting.
We can use the indefinite article a/an with count nouns:
o A dog is an animal.
When a count noun is singular, we must use a word like a/the/my/this with it:
I want an orange. (not I want orange.)
o Where is my bottle? (not Where is bottle?)
o
When a count noun is plural, we can use it alone:
o
I like oranges.
o
Bananas are delicious!
We can use some and any with count nouns:
o
o
I have some strawberries.
Do you have any peaches?
We use HOW MANY and ARE THERE ANY with plural count nouns:
o How many tomatoes are there in the kitchen?
o Are there any eggs?

How I Became Good at Cooking
by Shen Yu from China
When other people ask me what I am good at, I
often need to think a long time and I ask myself,
"What am I good at?" I like a lot of things, but I'm
not good at anything.
In China, I liked cooking, but in my family
everyone told me, "Your food doesn't taste good,
no one likes your cooking." If I had to cook, my
parents would say, "You have cooked the food
enough for us. Don't cook so much. We will cook
next time."
Now I am in America, and my husband is very busy. He rarely cooks food, so I have to
cook every day. Sometimes my husband comes home with his friends. When I cook
Chinese food for them, they say, "Your food is delicious. I have never eaten it in
America." So now, if you ask me what I am good at, I will say cooking.
Now answer the questions.
1. Shen thinks she does a lot of things.

LITTLE RED RIDING CHUBBY
Once upon a time, Little Red Riding Chubby (also known as Lara) decided to visit her
grandmother. Lara took some food for her grandma. Lara was a very playful girl, she
loved games, especially video-games, but she was a little obese. She ate lots of candy
and never exercised. On the way, she met the bald wolf. The wolf wanted to compete
on a race. Lara accepted the challenge and ran to her granny's house.
As Lara had some food in her basket, she ran slowly. She wanted to win so she ate all
the food and left the basket in the forest. She ran and arrived at her granny's very very
tired, she had stomachache because she ate so much and ran so much.
She was surprised to see the bald wolf there. The wolf was a trained athlete and arrived
twenty minutes before her. Her grandmother was at home making lemonade for her
guests. The wolf told her that Lara was coming.
Lara wasn't only tired and sick, she was also shocked. She hated losing, so when the
door opened, she collapsed. Fortunately, the wolf gave her CPR and saved her life.

Life on the International Space Station
Some people dream of traveling into space. However, life in space
is not very easy. Here are some of the problems that people on the
International Space Station (ISS) have.
1 Having lunch on the ISS is very difficult because there is no
gravity in space, and things never stay where you put them. Food
comes in plastic containers because food can't stay on a plate.
2 When they go outside, people wear special clothes, because
there is no atmosphere in space. It‘s also very cold in space. Inside
the ISS people can wear ordinary clothes.
3 You can‘t have a shower in space because the water doesn‘t stay
in one place. People wash with a sponge with water and soap.
4 People on the ISS can‘t sleep in normal beds, because their
bodies don‘t stay in the bed. They use special sleeping bags on
the wall.
If you want to have a holiday in space, remember that life there is
very different from life at home. And if you don‘t like it, you can‘t take a train or
bus home.
