New Passport The World, in its “B2.1 - partial competences” edition, has been
designed aiming to give authentic use of the English language in its spoken
and written form. With your New Passport to the World, you will talk about a
wide variety of topics, obtaining new tools for you to face the globalized world
and its diversity.
This learning material was created under the most relevant tendencies in the
EFL area, following a communicative perspective, that asks students to inte-
ract with different forms of the language, understand their functions and
appropriate them by facing natural and real production of the language. Besi-
des, it is thought as a light material easy to work with and supported with
virtual extra resources that you can use for free on internet.
Our program follows the rubrics, paradigm, and understanding of languages

that are presented in the Common European framework of Reference (CEFR),
the suggestions from the Colombian Ministry of Education in their Bilingua-
lism program, and finally, the nature of the methodology of PASSPORT LAN-
GUAGE CENTERS.
To take advantage from this resource you will be guided to understand how
English works, to achieve a contextualized use of the grammar forms, to
enrich your vocabulary and finally, to face justified and communicative pro-
jects while you work, learn and practice with all the communicative skills toge-
ther in conversational and productive tasks.

is highly dependent on the patient’s preferences, circumstances and goals.
Warning:
Unfortunately, music can also cause some serious harm in the form of tinnitus or other
permanent hearing loss/damage. Tinnitus can result from listening to music at high volumes
or amplitudes. Tinnitus is a buzzing in the ears that ranges from slight to severe. Tinnitus is a
highly subjective condition; some patients claim to perceive sounds of animals or even popular
songs. Music has also been known to cause epileptic seizures, often resulting in psychiatric
complications. In a book devoted to the studying of these rare cases, Oliver Sacks, a professor of
clinical neurology at Columbia University, writes of a woman who could not listen to a certain
popular song for more than half a minute without succumbing to violent convulsions.

between the past and the present.
E.g. He ’s written 16 books.
He started writing books at some time in the past. So far, he has written 16 books. He
may write more books.
- We use the present perfect continuous when the focus is on an activity that is
unfinished.
E.g. I ’ve been reading that book you lent me. I’ve got another 50 pages to read.
Adapted from British Council in 2017.

Tryin to walk through
The pain”

Love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a Venus
Lord, imagine my surprise”

Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you’re far away dreaming

Every moment spent with you is a moment I

LESSON 5B Complain public behavior.
OPENING:
What public conducts tick you off?
What are the worst problems in your city?
Do youlike living where you live?
GRAMMAR TIP:
PAIRED CONJUNCTIONS:
- Neither… nor
We can use neither as a conjunction with nor. It connects two or more negative alternatives. This
can sound formal in speaking:
E.g.
Neither Brian nor his wife mentioned anything about moving house.
Neither Italy nor France got to the quarter finals last year.
- Either…. or
We can use either...or to emphasise a choice. (Either…or is used to refer to two things or people.)
In most cases ‘either’ can be omitted. IF you want to give a negative intention, either must be used
with a negative auxiliar.
E.g.
You can either stay here or come with us.
It was either John or Peter who received your message.
- Not only… but (also)
We can use Not only… but (also) if we want to express a connection between related ideas.
E.g.
Not only money but also food should be shared with homeless.

LESSON 7D Persuade people to buy.
Read the following excerpts from an article. Look at the advertising campaigns that
are listed on it.
Did you know that, once upon a time, Nike’s product catered
almost exclusively to marathon runners? Then, a fitness craze
emerged -- and the folks in Nike’s marketing department
knew they needed to take advantage of it to surpass their main
competitor, Reebok. (At the time, Reebok was selling more
shoes than Nike). And so, in the late 1980s, Nike created the
“Just Do It.” campaign.
It was a hit.
In 1988, Nike sales were at $800 million; by 1998, sales
exceeded $9.2 billion. “Just Do It.” was short and sweet, yet
encapsulated everything people felt when they were exercising
-- and people still feel that feeling today. Don’t want to run
five miles? Just Do It. Don’t want walk up four flights of stairs?
Just Do It. It’s a slogan we can all relate to: the drive to push
ourselves beyond our limits. When the campaign started, Absolut had a measly 2.5%
of the vodka market. When it ended in the late 2000s,
Absolut was importing 4.5 million cases per year, or half of
all imported vodka in the U.S.
So what’s a marketer’s lesson here? No matter how boring
your product looks, it doesn’t mean you can’t tell your story
in an interesting way. Let me repeat: Absolut created 1500
ads of one bottle. Be determined and differentiate your
product in the same way.
Many marketing and advertising professionals like to call

Volkswagen’s “Think Small” campaign the gold standard.
Created in 1960 by a legendary advertising group at Doyle
Dane & Bernbach (DDB), the campaign set out to answer one
question: How do you change peoples’ perceptions not only
about a product, but also about an entire group of people?
See, Americans always had a propensity to buy big American

cars -- and even 15 years after WWII ended, most Americans
were still not buying small German cars. So what did this
Volkswagen advertisement do? It played right into the audience’s
expectations. You think I’m small? Yeah, I am. They never tried
to be something they were not.
Think it’s easy to create a whole new market
for your product? The Miller Brewing Company
(now MillerCoors) did just that with the light beer
market -- and dominated it. The goal of the “Great
Adapted from blog.hubspot. Taste, Less Filling” campaign was getting “real
men” to drink light beer, but they were battling the
com in 2018.
common misconception that light beer can never
actually taste good. Taking the debate head-on,
Miller featured masculine models drinking their
light beer and declaring it great tasting.

MILLENNIALS HAVE RUINED…EVERYTHING
“Before we move any closer to the end of the planet, I wish to get this off my chest: I am a
millennial, and I am sorry for killing everything. Yes, it was me, and I did it to get vengeance on
the boomers. They did not want me to have nice things. They insisted that I valued experiences
more than possessions, while denying me the disposable income that would have permitted me to
try having possessions. They forced me to live in my parents’ basement, then mocked me for living
there, calling me “self-obsessed,” “entitled,” “lazy,” “narcissistic.” I could only bear so much. They
would be made to suffer. I would murder everything they loved. First, the nuclear family. Then, golf.
Then, the American Dream. … I am about to finish killing democracy, then perhaps, the planet.
Then I can run no longer. Obviously. I killed running.

LESSON 10B Describe past habits.
GRAMMAR TIP:
Let’s talk about past habits.
Would + always
‘would’ with ‘always’ suggests an old habit that stopped in the past. Unlike ‘used to’ or
the Past Simple ‘would always’ suggests a willingness to do the action or amusement and/
or annoyance. It can also suggest an extreme habit. The opposite is expressed with ‘would
never’.
Examples
- My grandmother would always get me a book for Christmas.
- Sarah would always come late to work on Mondays.
- Danny would not always come out with us.
Note: ‘would always’ is not the same as ‘used to’ or the Past Simple. Would cannot be used
to speak about past facts or generalizations, only past repeated actions.
Example:
- I used to be painfully shy when I was young.

Incorrect: I would always be painfully shy when I was young.
Correct: I would always be shy when I met new people when I was a young boy. (In this
case ‘would always’ is describing a repeated action – meeting new people)

Match the fragments to create complete sentences.

- She would always send me - She came late once or twice.
- Sam and Mary would always choose - Sometimes, she took the bus.
- Ned would always show up at our house - the most exotic vacation destinations.
- Christine would always come - strange birthday gifts
- Mindy would not always walk to school -without calling first.
- Sally would not always arrive early to -late to the meetings.
