 Introduction

Mission
CONALEP has the mission to offer competency-based training for Professional Technicians and Professional Techni-
cians Bachelors. It trains and assesses the labor competencies needed by the production sector of our country.

Vision
CONALEP is a leading institution in the training of Professionals Technicians and Professionals Technicians Bachelors
in Mexico, offering recognized quality programs based on the Mexican dual model, our graduates have relevant job
skills and social values that allow them to be competitive in the labour market and pursue post-secondary studies.

Objectives
To train technical professionals through an educational model based on standards of competence.
The teaching of English as a foreign language is now one of the most important subjects in schools. The implementa-
tion of English has brought along the need to establish clear objectives that are different to the ones traditionally assig-
ned years ago. As a result, we have decided to establish, as the main purpose of the English language teaching, the
development of the four skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing. However, the implementation of this approach
has not been trouble-free as many teachers insist on asking their students to understand every single word they listen
to or read or expect them to write or speak without making the mistakes normally found in the process of acquiring
any language.

The main purpose of this book is to provide an English course that we hope can be useful to teachers of English
as a foreign language in schools.
Listening to the audio tracks, writing and speaking to professors and classmates to develop the tools that they will need
to achieve a high level of the English language.

We expect that you will prove you have the reading, listening, speaking and writing skills that companies are
looking for—and show that you can effectively combine these knowledges to communicate your ideas in and out of
the classroom.

It’s important that you surround yourself with English and use it as much as possible in your daily life.

 Guanajuato

Falling in love with Guanajuato, it´s easy. With its amazing places full of color and history, its warm atmosphere of
peace and tranquility, and the beautiful people that lives there, you’ll feel that your dreams are coming to life. Perhaps
this is why UNESCO has named it a World Heritage Site.

Guanajuato is a land where you can walk through its picturesque magical villages, learn its history through its four
archaeological zones, and let your senses loose with its colorful festivals and artistic events (like the world renowned
International Cervantino Festival), or marvel at the impressive mummified bodies, which are one of the most famous
tourist’s attractions there.

It’s a place full of magic, with a unique energy, located in the heart of Mexico that allows you to discover its traditions,
culture, and unique architecture with various buildings and houses which are a great example of colonial architecture
in neoclassical and baroque style.

Admire the impressive Neo-Gothic style of the imposing stone cathedral. Take a break in the Main Garden at the foot
of the church, in a place full of life, color, and music that will turn you into a participant enjoying the charm of a typical
Mexican village. Buy ice cream or traditional sweets, and listen to the musicians playing in downtown San Miguel de
Allende.

Common spelling problems in English
Spelling words in English is challenging work. As a matter of fact, many native speakers of English have problems
with spelling correctly. One of the main reasons for this is that many, many English words are NOT spelled as they
are spoken. This difference between pronunciation and spelling causes a lot of confusion. The combination “ough”
provides an excellent example:

Tough - Pronounced - Tuf (the ‘u’ sounding as in ‘cup’)

Through - Pronounced - Throo
Dough - Pronounced - Doe (long ‘o’)
Bought - Pronounced - Bawt

A) “Swallowed Syllables” Three syllables pronounced as two syllables.

1. Aspirin - pronounced - asprin

2. Different - pronounced -
3. Every - pronounced -

B) “Swallowed Syllables” Four syllables pronounced as three syllables.

1. Comfortable - pronounced -
2. Temperature - pronounced -
3. Vegetable - pronounced -

C) “Homophones” words that sound the same.

• Two, to, too - pronounced - too

• Knew, new - pronounced - niew
• Through, threw - pronounced - throo
• Not, knot, naught - pronounced - not

D) “Same Sounds” different spellings.

1) “Eh” as in “Let”
- Let
- Bread
- Said

2) “Ai” as in “I”
-I
- Sigh
- Buy
- Either

29
 E) The following letters are silenced when pronounced:

D - Sandwich, Wednesday P - Cupboard, psychology

G - Sign, foreign S - Island
GH - Daughter, light, right T - Whistle, listen
H - Why, honest, hour U - Guess, guitar
K - Know, knight, knob W - Who, write, wrong
L - Should, walk, half

F) Unusual letter combinations:

GH - ♪ F* Cough, laugh, enough, rough.*
CH - ♪ K* Chemistry, headache, Christmas, stomach.*
EA - ♪ EH* Breakfast, head, bread, instead.*
EA - ♪ EI* Steak, break.*

 What time is it?
Writing the time
Morning 00:01 - 11:59
a.m. - (the time between midnight and noon)
00:01 hrs - 12:00

Noon or midday 12:00

p.m. - (after noon)
12:01 - 24:00 hrs

Afternoon
12:01 - 18:00

Evening
18:01 - 22:00

Night
22:01 - 24:00

Midnight
24:00 / 00:00

There are 24 hours in a day. The way people write the time varies. I prefer a.m. and p.m. Choose from the following
styles or use what your English teacher tells you to and stick to it:

a.m. p.m.
am pm
AM PM
A.M. P.M.

When it’s “on the hour” we say “o’clock”. But only when it’s on the hour.

12:00 Twelve o’clock

13:00 One o’clock
14:00 Two o’clock
15:00 Three ‘clock
16:00 Four o’clock
17:00 Five o’clock

19:00 Seven o’clock
20:00 Eight o’clock
21:00 Nine o’clock
22:00 Ten o’clock
23:00 Eleven o’clock

34
• In five-minute increments, when it’s past the hour (up to 30 minutes past) we say “past”.

• When it’s before the hour (after 30 minutes past) we say “to”.

• There are 60 minutes in an hour.

• 30 minutes is half an hour, we say “half past” or “thirty”.

• 15 minutes is quarter of an hour, we say “quarter past” or “fifteen” or “quarter to” or “forty-five”.

Twelve thirty = Half past twelve It’s one minute past three
Twelve forty-five = Quarter to one It’s nearly three o’clock
Twelve fifteen = Quarter past twelve It’s just turned half past eleven

1. Excuse me. What time is it, please?

2. Excuse me. Do you have the time please?

If it’s before noon we say In the morning 07:00 It’s seven o’clock in the morning

15 minutes past the hour is quarter past 07:15 It’s quarter past seven in the morning

30 minutes past the hour is half past 07:30 It’s half past seven in the morning

45 minutes past the hour in quarter to 07:45 It’s quarter to nine in the morning

35
 If it’s after noon we say in the afternoon If it’s late we say at night

14:00 It’s two o clock in the afternoon 22:00 It’s ten o’clock at night

14:15 Its quarter past two in the afternoon 22:15 It’s quarter past ten at night

14:30 It’s half past two in the afternoon 22:30 It’s half past ten at night

14:45 It’s quarter to three in the afternoon 22:45 It’s quarter to eleven at night

 Articles “a,an & the”

A = Indefinite article (not a specific object, one of a number of the same objects) with consonants.

1. She has a dog.

2. I work in a factory.

An = Indefinite article (not a specific object, one of a number of the same objects) with vowels (a, e, I, o, u).

1. Can I have an apple?

2. She is an English teacher.

The = Definite article (a specific object that both the person speaking and the listener know).

1. The car over there is fast.

2. The teacher is very good, isn’t he?

A) The first time you speak of something use “a or an”, the next time you repeat that object use “the”.

1. I live in a house. The house is quite old and has four bedrooms.
2. I ate in a Chinese restaurant. The restaurant was very good.

DO NOT** use an article with countries, states, counties or provinces, lakes and mountains except when the country
is a collection of states such as “The United States”.

1. He lives in Washington near Mount Rainier.

2. They live in northern British Columbia.

B) Use an article with bodies of water, oceans and seas.

1. My country borders on the Pacific Ocean

DO NOT** use an article when you are speaking about things in general.

1. I like Russian tea.

2. She likes reading books.

DO NOT** use an article when you are speaking about meals, places, and transport.

1. He has breakfast at home.

2. I go to university.
3. He comes to work by taxi.

44
Using “an” and “a” does not depend on the spelling of the word it comes before, it depends on the pronunciation of
the word. In most cases though, an is used before words that begin with vowels (a, e, i, o u.):

An apple An elephant An oven An egg An umbrella

If a word starts with a consonant sound, use a:

A ball A car A doll

VOWEL SOUNDS

The -u in university is pronounced with a long "u" sound which sounds like "yew" and is written as "j" in the phonetic
alphabet. So, although the letter is a vowel, it is not pronounced like one in ‘university’ because it does not have a
vowel sound. We therefore say ‘a university’.

The -u in umbrella is pronounced as a vowel sound ( Λ using the phonetic alphabet) and so we use "an".
We therefore say ‘an umbrella’.

This rule also applies to the use of consonants. The word hour has a soft "h" which is weakly pronounced and there-
fore we say ‘an hour’. If the word has a hard "h", like house, we use "a" (a house).

45
 It is very important to know that when a word starts with a vowel sound, you should use “an”. Sometimes -u is pro-
nounced as -y. Try saying these two words, see if notice how the -u is pronounced in two different ways.

1. an unforgettable experience - Unforgettable has a vowel sound so we use an.

2. a university - University has a y sound so we use a.

This is also the case with -o, which may sometimes have a -w sound. Compare:

3. an octopus - Octopus starts with a vowel sound.

4. a one track mind - One-track starts has a w sound.

THE SILENT H

Sometimes with words that begin with h, the h sound is not pronounced. Unfortunately there is no rule about when the
-h is silent. Let’s look at an example:

- an honor - the h is silent. We use an because the honor has a vowel sound because the h is not pronounced: (h)onor.
- a historic day - the h is pronounced. Historic starts with an h sound.

________
a bear ________
a house ________
an honor ________
a police officer

________
an european ________

 Simple present

We use the simple present tense when an action is happening right now or when it happens regularly depending on
the person, the simple present tense is formed by using the root form or by adding “-s” or “-es” to the end.

1. In the simple present, most regular verbs use the root form, except in the third-person singular (which ends in -s)

2. For a few verbs, the third-person singular ends with -es instead of -s. Typically, these are verbs whose root form
ends in o, ch, sh, th, ss, gh, or z. And for those verbs that end in -y the termination is changed by -ies except
when a vowel precedes “-y”.

Subject + present conjugation of verb + objects.

I / You + drive to work every day.
POSITIVE SENTENCES:
She / He / It + drives to work every day.
You / We / They + drive to work every day.

Subject + do not + base form of verb + objects.

I / You + don’t (do not) + use a computer every day.
NEGATIVE SENTENCES:
She / He / It + doesn’t (does not) + use a computer at work.
You / We / They + don’t (do not) + use a typewriter at work.

Ask? + do + subject + base form of verb?

When + do I / you + arrive at work?
QUESTION FORM:
What + does he / she / it + use at work?
Where + do we / you / + they keep the paper?

1. Fill the blanks in the next questions, remember to use the simple present form of the verb.

 San Luis Potosi

San Luis Potosí is the favorite destination for those seeking fun and adventure in the Huasteca region

Sótano de las Golondrinas (Cave of the Swallows), its countless and sublime blue and green waterfalls, the

great mining tradition, its magical villages, its exquisite cuisine and even its surreal palaces are just a few of
its attractions. The capital has a beautiful and cozy historic city center, declared a World Heritage Site by UNE-
SCO in 2010, decorated with pink quarry stone. The spell of the Potosí highlands also resides in the imposing
haciendas that protect the remaining traces of Mexico’s mining history.

Among many other qualities, San Luis Potosí has an exuberant biodiversity and ecological reserves perfect
for ecotourism and is able to meet your needs, regardless of your plan, through landscapes and enclosures
throughout its four regions: Center, Highlands, Middle and Huasteca.

 Possessive Pronouns

What is a possessive pronoun? and what are they used for? Possessive pronouns are those designating possession.
There are only two specific rules for using them correctly:

1) Like its name suggests, a possessive pronoun indicates ownership.

2) Possessive pronouns do not contain apostrophes.

A possessive pronoun is used to avoid repeating information that has already been made clear. Pronouns make sen-
tences less confusing.

• This is my wallet, not your wallet. (Sounds repetitive)

• This wallet is mine, not yours.
• Your car is faster than my car. (Sounds repetitive)
• Your car is faster than mine.

I Mine
You Yours
He His
She Hers
It Its
We Ours
You Yours
