ENGLISH FOR LIFE

BASIC ENGLISH

Durante mi juventud tuve la oportunidad de aprender el idioma


inglés, al principio mi intención era tener mejores oportunidades en
el campo profesional, pero durante mi proceso de aprendizaje vi
que el inglés abre nuestra mente a un mundo desconocido, un
mundo de información, un mundo de expansión en la
comunicación, un mundo más divertido y un mundo con mayores
posibilidades.

Al ver que todo esto sucedía en mi vida, tenía la intención principal


de llevar este “nuevo mundo” a todas las personas que me
rodeaban. Después de mucho estudio, investigación y
experimentos, creé Aliança América - Idiomas.

Mucha gente pone el aprendizaje del inglés como algo muy difícil,
inalcanzable, Aliança América fue creada para mostrar que esta
barrera se puede romper, que es posible aprender inglés de una
manera divertida y práctica. Con eso creamos nuestros 3 libros de
enseño, English For Life, English Conversation e English Pro.

El camino para adquirir uidez puede parecer un desafío, pero no


se preocupe, en Aliança America ya lo hemos preparado para
usted. Me gusta mucho una película que tiene como mensaje
principal el lema “Cualquiera puede cocinar”, te lo digo ahora:
Cualquiera puede aprender inglés.

En Aliança con amos en usted y estaremos dispuestos a


acompañarlo en el camino para adquirir uidez en el idioma inglés.

Gracias por con ar su futuro a Aliança America.

ENGLISH FOR LIFE


BASIC ENGLISH

INTRODUCCIÓN
English For Life - Basic English es el primer libro de una colección de
3 libros que retratan todo el contenido del idioma inglés, desde los
conceptos básicos hasta las complicadas gramáticas del inglés.

A diferencia de los miles de cursos y libros que se encuentran hoy


en día, los libros de Aliança América tienen como objetivo enseñar
inglés como una cosa fácil y rápida de aprender, que la enseñanza
del idioma depende mucho más de cómo se aprende, que de quién
está aprendiendo. Aliança América y todos los empleados creen
que cualquiera puede aprender inglés, ya sea un niño pequeño, un
anciano mayor, todos deberían tener la oportunidad de aprender el
idioma más importante del mundo.

Las clases impartidas por los profesores de Aliança América


contienen algunos pasos que se le presentarán al alumno durante
las clases. Estas son clases que se construyen con el gran trabajo de
decenas de grandes profesionales y con una extensa investigación.

El libro consta de unidades, cada unidad contiene 3 clases y una


revisión, la revisión es una pequeña prueba para que podamos
evaluar tus conocimientos para pasar a las siguientes clases, cada 4
unidades luego se hacen la “Prueba del trimestre”, se evalúa así las 4
unidades de estudio. Al nal del libro está la “Prueba nal” que es la
evaluación nal de las 16 unidades del libro.

Creemos en ti y en tu potencial, sabemos que te espera un futuro


brillante y estamos agradecidos de poder ser parte de él.
Bienvenidos a Aliança América - Idiomas.

QUARTER TEST

What is Family?

Hi, my name is James, I have a question for you, what is family? There is a lot of different
answers for that, but I want to tell you my answer.

Well I have a beautiful family, I have two brothers and a sister, their names are Jonathan,
John and Jessica, I am the oldest of them, and of course there are my parents, Carla and
Michael. My dad is the best dad ever, he is always playing with us, helping us to become
better people and always trying to teach important lessons from his life and my mom is
so sweet, she is always making everything easier for us. Yes, my family is awesome.

Okay, I almost forgot to answer the question, “what is family?”. Well I think family is that
part in your life that makes you stronger, that makes you happy when everything is going
wrong, that part you remember when you don’t know what to do with your life and you
need an answer. If i can answer the question right, it would be that family is everything.

I am only 15 years old, but I know that every decision that I made in my life and that I will
make has in uence of my family.

My father is a Doctor, I see him helping a lot of people and because of his example I also
want to be able to help people, not as a doctor, but as a politician, I want to make a
difference just like my father.

I want to know your answer now, but always remember how your family is important.

James’s Time

There was once a boy named James. James was a very good soccer player at school, he
wanted to be a professional, but he didn’t like to practice very much, so when he was 18
years old, he had the chance to go to a try out for a very good soccer team, and as I said
he didn’t practice at all, so he failed.

James came back home that day and realised how much time he had lost, but he
decided to do something different for his life at the point, he practiced a lot, he did what
he should’ve done during his school time.

Then, after 2 years of hard work and a lot of practice, James tried again to join that
amazing soccer team he once wanted to play for, and he nally had success.

James learned how time is precious and how it can be wasted if we don’t do what we
need to do.

Questions

Discuss with you teacher the questions below and together try to nd a better understand of the

subject

What did you learn from James story?

Why is so important to take control of our time?

Do you think you use your time wisely?

What can you do today to use your time better?
