ACTIVITY 1. READING
Instruction: Read the following article. Then read the statements below and check ()
to answer True, False or Not given..
Harold`s Garner`s theory of multiple intelligences has impacted education across the
United States. He has identified eight different intelligences to show that people
understand, experience, and learn in different ways.
Educators in the United States have carefully considered Gardner`s theory. Many
educators think that students gifted in the verbal/linguistic and logical/mathematical
intelligences do better in traditional classrooms than those with other intelligences.
This is because many traditional teachers teach by using textbooks, giving lectures,
checking written homework, and giving written texts. Their methods of teaching are
based on verbal/linguistic and logical/mathematical coursework.
Some teachers are changing the way they teach their students. These teachers think
that if students think and learn in different ways, then teachers should think and teach
in different ways. Their idea is to reach all students by using different intelligences in
their classrooms. Teachers who are trained in multiple intelligences might use a visual/
spatial activity to teach math. For example, they might ask students to take pictures
of objects as they study geometry. Teachers may have students with interpersonal
intelligence lead a discussion or teach new terms to other students. These teachers
feel that teaching to each student`s aptitude and getting each student to learn on his
or her own is more important than teaching course subjects in the traditional way.
Instruction: From the following pairs of sentences, select the ones given in PASSIVE
VOICE.
ACTIVITY 3. VOCABULARY
INSTRUCTION: Read through the text. Then read the list of choices. Select the best
option to fill in the blanks.
Strategy: Use a good English-English dictionary to find the correct word. Apply what

children are more likely to suffer from5) __________. There would be 13 million fewer
malnourished children in South Asia if women had an equal say in the family, UNICEF
said.
IMPORTANT:
-- To select the word from the dictionary you need to identify if the word is required
as an adverb, a noun, or a verb.
-- You do not need to translate the article into Spanish to understand it.
-- Pay attention to the time expressions and to the expressions of frequency given
in the statements in order to identify the verb tense.

hotel was long, hot and boring.Secondly, we spent all our time in museums doing

There are many things that ESL students can do to improve their English more
quickly.They can join an after-school club which will give them the chance to practise
spoken English while doing an activity that they enjoy.They can also watch films,
particularly DVDs with the English subtitles turned on.Best of all, however, is to do
plenty of reading for pleasure.Non-fiction in particular is an excellent way of acquiring
a strong academic vocabulary.
The best holiday that I ever had was when I was 8 years old.My family drove into the
Scottish mountains in a rented caravan, and we spent the whole time walking in the
wonderful nature in that part of the world.We were very lucky with the weather.
The school could do much more to protect the environment.I dont understand, for
example, why we cannot use metal cutlery instead of plastic ones that just get thrown
away after the meal.We could also have different trashcans to recycle paper and cola
cans.We could also limit the number of copies that teachers and students are allowed
to make on the photocopier machine.
It is important to get some fresh air and exercise every day. If you want to live a long
and healthy life, you have to get into good habits when you are young. Furthermore,

ACTIVITY 2. Reading
Instruction: Read the following article. Then select the advantages or disadvantages
based on the reading.
Do you look for ways to save time, especially in the kitchen? One of the most
commonly used time-saving devices in homes today is the microwave. Because
using a microwave can cut dinner preparation time from two or three hours to
a half hour, they are used by many American families.
But microwaves aren`t just used in the home. They`re everywhere in restaurants,
trains, cafeterias, college dormitories, and lunch of break rooms in workplaces, for
example. It`s not surprising that microwaves are popular. Workers and students
can put leftovers from last night`s dinner in the microwave, heat them for a few
minutes, and eat a delicious lunch. Supermarkets also add to the convenience
of microwaves because they sell different types of microwaveable meals. These
frozen dinners are packaged in microwave-safe containers.
Some people have health concerns about food cooked in a microwave. Others
feel strongly that food cooked in a microwave does not taste as good as food
cooked in a regular oven. They say that using a microwave takes away from
the pleasure of cooking. Luckily for people who do not believe cooking is fun,
microwaves can make their lives a lot easier.

Carpooling
Cities have been dealing with rush hour traffic problems for a long time. One way they
have cut down on traffic jams has been to create High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes.
With fewer cars and more people in each car, carpool lanes have helped rush hour
traffic to run smoother and commuters to get their destinations faster.
In recent years, commuters have started a new kind of carpooling. In this type of
carpooling, a driver drives past bus stops or well-known parking lots and offers a free
ride to people he doesn`t know.
Both drivers and the carpool slugs are happy with slugging. Every day, slugs save up to
$ 12 in transportation fares and parking fees. And drivers save up to $ 5,000 a year in
gas. In addition, both drivers and slugs save from 30 to 60 minutes of travel time daily.
