New Passport The World, in its “B2.2 - final 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.

Write about four important life changing events that took place in your
personal and professional life . Explain how and why they changed.

Who Was Steve Jobs?

Steven Paul Jobs was an American inventor,
designer and entrepreneur who was the co-founder,
chief executive and chairman of Apple Computer.
Apple’s revolutionary products, which include the
iPod, iPhone and iPad, are now seen as dictating the
evolution of modern technology. Born in 1955 to
two University of Wisconsin graduate students who gave him up for adoption, Jobs was smart
but directionless, dropping out of college and experimenting with different pursuits before co-
founding Apple with Steve Wozniak in 1976. Jobs left the company in 1985, launching Pixar
Animation Studios, then returned to Apple more than a decade later. Jobs died in 2011 following
a long battle with pancreatic cancer.

UNIT 1 Career goals and achievements.
LESSON 1D Justify your current job or career choices.

Read the following paragraph.

“Here is one way to keep things simple.

When I started, it was a little different because
they were hiring for a new department, so they
had these big initial interviews at job fairs. After
getting through that, though, the process was a
lot like this one. A second interview, and of course
my references reached out pro - actively when I
asked them about sending in recommendation
letters instead of waiting to be contacted. During the second interview, we toured the
facilities, and I received an offer a few days later. Most of those second round questions
had to do with specific cases and decision making processes, and I guess they liked what
they heard from me.
Keeping it informative without being too detailed is difficult, but since the hiring process
always works out a little differently from person to person, it is an integral part of giving
people a useful answer.”

Answer the following questions based on the reading.

LESSON 2B Learn to add descriptions.
Read the paragraph, underline the relative clauses and circle the noun they refer
to.
Pierre Omidyar and eBAY

Did you ever want to sell a birthday present that you didn’t like? Or an old toy that is taking
up space in your closet? In the old days, buyers and sellers were limited to newspapers, garage
sales, and flea markets in the area where they lived. But in the early 1990s, when people started
to use the Internet, Pierre Omidyar had an idea. Omidyar, who was working as a computer
programmer, realized that sellers no longer had to be limited to finding buyers who lived
in their local area. He came up with the idea of eBay, which he started as a hobby. He didn’t
charge money at first because he wasn’t sure eBay would work. Buying online requires you to
trust sellers whom you’ve never met. But people liked eBay. Soon there was so much activity
on eBay that his Internet service provider upgraded his site to a Business account, which was
no longer free. So Omidyar started to charge the sellers a small fee for each sale. Before long,
this hobby grew into a big business.
Adapted from ngl.cengage.com in 2017.

Answer the following questions and create a paragraph.

- Which were the limitations of selling before

1990?
-Did people have to pay extra when the
company started? Why?
- Have you ever used eBay or a similar website?
If so, what did you use it for?

UNIT 3 Facing adversities and fears.
LESSON 3B Describe how fear affects you.
GRAMMAR TIP:
INTENSIFIER WITH SO.

- Use so to intensify an adjective or an adverb to explain the result of an extreme situation.

That is optional. Don’t use a comma.
E.g. -It was so stormy (that) I was afraid to get on the plane.
-She left so quickly (that) she forgot her umbrella.

If the adjective is followed directly by a noun, use such, not so .

I was wearing such uncomfortable shoes (that) I could hardly walk.

If the noun is preceded by many , much , few , or little , use so.

E.g. -We ate so few meals out last month (that) we saved a lot of money.
-There’s so little ice on the road (that) I think it’s safe to drive.

Adapted from Summit 1 third edition in 2017.

Combine the statements, using so ... (that) or such ... (that).

1 The fire was terrible. The building was totally destroyed.

UNIT 4 Anger, stress and tolerance.
LESSON 4B Learn to add descriptions
GRAMMAR TIP:
CONDITION CLAUSES
“EVEN IF”
-Even if emphasizes the speaker’s intention to achieve the outcome or goal without regard for
a difficult or negative condition.
E.g. He’ll control his anxiety, even if he has to receive therapy.
“UNLESS”
-A conditional sentence with unless expresses “An action or situation will happen if the other
one does not happen first.”
E.g. You will have problems, unless you change your attitude.
“WHETHER OR NOT”
-Whether or not expresses that no condition will stop the completion of the outcome in the
main clause. That is, if the condition exists or if the condition does not exist, the outcome will
or must happen anyway.
E.g. The project will continue whether or not the researchers receive a government grant.
“ONLY IF”
-’Only if ’ means ‘only one condition happens”. This form basically means the same as ‘if ’. The
main emphasis is on the result.
E.g. You can go out only if you do your homework.
“OTHERWISE”
-It is used for saying that if one thing does not happen, something else (usually bad) will ha-
ppen.
E.g. I hope she mends her ways, otherwise, she will be fired.

Match the sentence with the correct outcome.

1.She must be very intelligent. b. whether or not he wants to work all night.

2.We’ll arrive at 8:00. d. even if he doesn’t say it.

3. Your father loves you. a. unless our train is late.

4. He’ll get his work done. c- otherwise, she wouldn’t have solved this puzzle.
Read the following paragraph: “STRATEGIES TO KEEP YOUR ANGER AT BAY.”
According to the APA (American Psychological Association) “Anger can be caused by internal
and external events. You might feel mad at a person, an entity like the company you work for, or an
event like a traffic jam or a political election. Wherever the feelings come from, you don’t have to let
your anger get the better of you. Here are some techniques…”

The man: “God, how long is a million years?”

Answer: A man is talking to God.
UNIT 5 The funny side.
LESSON 5B Talk about what others report.
GRAMMAR TIP:
Reported or Indirect speech.
In reported statements, we can use either ‘say’ or ‘tell’. The meaning is the same, but
the grammar is different. For example:
Direct speech:
John: “I’ll be late”.
Reported speech:
John said* (that) he would be late.
OR
John told** me (that) he was going to be late.

*With ‘say’ we CAN’T use the object (e.g. ‘me’, ‘them’, ‘us’).
**With ‘tell’ we NEED the object (e.g. ‘me’, ‘you’, ‘her’).

So we CAN’T say:
X John said me that he would be late.
X John told that he would be late.

Here are some correct examples:

Julie said (that) she’d come to the party.
I said (that) I was going to bed early.
He told me (that) he loved living in London.
They told John (that) they would arrive at six.

ASK (SOMEONE) + indirect question

We can use ask to report questions:
Rebecca asked (me) where I lived.
The guide asked (us) if we had visited the museum before.

ASK/TELL SOMEONE + TO-infinitive

We can use ask or tell to report imperatives or requests:

GRAMMAR TIP:
Unreal Conditionals with continuous forms.
Present Unreal Conditional + Continuous is used to discuss imaginary situations which
could be happening at this very moment.
Examples in the if-clause:
If the sun were shining, I would go to the beach.(Unfortunately, it is raining so I can’t
go.)
If Sam were sitting here, we would be able to ask him the question ourselves.(But Sam is
not sitting here. He is somewhere else.)
Examples in the result:
If I were in Hawaii, I would be lying on the beach. (But I am not in Hawaii.)
I would be rafting down the Colorado River right now if my leg weren’t broken. (But
my leg is broken, so I am not there.)

Past Unreal Conditional + Continuous is used to discuss imaginary situations happening at

a very specific time in the past or over a period of time in the past.
Examples in the if-clause:
If I had been talking to him when he said that, I would have punched him in the face.
(But I wasn’t talking to him when he said that.)
If he had been standing near the house when the wall collapsed, it would have killed
him. (Luckily, he moved away before the wall fell.)
Examples in the result:
If you had gone to his house last night, he would have been sitting on his couch in front
of the TV. (But you didn’t go to his house, so you didn’t see what he was doing.)
If she had missed her train, he would have been waiting for her at the station for hours.
(Luckily, she caught her train and he didn’t have to wait.)

UNIT 7 The Power Of Suggestion.
LESSON 7B Express the unbelievable.
GRAMMAR TIP:
Passive voice with reporting verbs.
If we want to avoid mentioning the generalised agents we, they, people, everybody, one
etc. with reporting verbs, we can use the following passive patterns:

1- it + passive reporting verb + that-clause.

In this pattern, the generalised agent + active reporting verb is replaced with it + passive
reporting verb:
E.g.
Everybody knows that my grandfather likes red wine.
It is known that my grandfather likes red wine.

2- subject + passive reporting verb + to-infinitive.

In this pattern we start with the subject of the reported clause, which is followed by the pas-
sive reporting verb and the to-infinitive form of the verb in the reported clause:
E.g.
Everybody knows that my grandfather likes red wine.
My grandfather is known to like red wine.
The reporting verb (is known) is in the same tense as it was in the active sentence (knows). The
type of to-infinitive we use (to like) corresponds to the temporal relationship between the ac-
tion of reporting and the reported event. This temporal relationship can be of two basic types:
The reporting and the reported event happen simultaneously (as in the example above).
The reported event happens before the reporting.

The following are some examples of reporting verbs which can be used with the patterns abo-
ve:

GRAMMAR TIP:
DO - For Emphasis
Sometimes Do / Does / Did are used in afirmative sentences to give special
emphasis. Note that when speaking, the word (do/does/did) is stressed.

E.g.
I do want to go. (We put stress on the word DO to emphasize that we want to
go)
You do need to take an umbrella.
He does like spinach. (You may be surprised but yes, he likes spinach)
I did study. (Contrary to what you may believe... yes, I studied)

Notice that Did is used for positive sentences in the past tense and that the main verb
is in its base form.

Do can also appear at the beginning of an imperative sentence to emphasize the

importance of that imperative verb.
E.g.
Do call when you arrive.
Do tell him that I will be waiting for him.

There are two types of passive voice with unreal conditional; the Present Unreal Conditional
and the Past Unreal Conditional.

The Present Unreal Conditional Conditional is used to imagine a different present reality, or a
situation that is unlikely in the present. It can also be used to express a wish that in the present was
different, or to describe something unlikely or impossible. When the Passive Voice is applied to
the Present Unreal Conditional the object of the sentence becomes the subject of the sentence and
is now experiencing the action.
E.g.
If I won the lottery, I would buy a Time Machine (Active Voice)
A Time Machine would be bought if I won the lottery. (Passive Voice)
Remember that with the Passive Voice in Present Unreal Conditional the verb agreement does not
change.
E.g.
- If human cloning were permitted, so much could be learned about human genetics. (Active
Voice)
- So much could be learned about human genetics, if human cloning was permitted. (Passive
Voice)

The Past Unreal Conditional is often used to express wishes about the past and imagine different
outcomes due to the different choices made in the past. When The Passive Voice is applied to the
Past Unreal Conditional the object of the sentence becomes the subject of the sentence and is now
experiencing the action.
E.g.
If Samsung had tested the Note 7 properly, it wouldn’t be exploding. (Active Voice)
The Note 7 wouldn’t have been exploding if Samsung had tested it properly. (Passive Voice)
Remember that with the Passive Voice in the Past Unreal Conditional the verb agreement also
changes:
- If I had created a new source of energy, Electricity would be cheaper (Active Voice)
- Electricity would had been cheaper, if a new source of energy had been created by me. (Passive
Voice)

LESSON 10B Analize Global trends.
Introduction:
- How can ICTs help when learning a foreign language? Which ones do you use?
- Have you ever travelled abroad? How can traveling abroad change the
perception of a person in aspects such as: culture, society, economy, etc.?

GRAMMAR TIP:
Separable and inseparable phrasal verbs

A phrasal verb is a verb combined with a preposition or adverb (or both) that means something
different from each of the words that make up the verb. There are two types of phrasal verbs.
Separable phrasal verbs can be broken up by other words, while inseparable phrasal verbs
cannot be separated by other words.

Separable Phrasal Verbs:

Separable phrasal verbs can remain together when using an object that is a noun or noun
phrase.
He paid back the debt. OR He paid the debt back.
The company laid out quite a bit for research. OR The company laid quite a bit out for
research.
Separable phrasal verbs MUST be separated when a pronoun is used:
We ran it up by $50,000.
They bailed him out of the situation.

Inseparable Phrasal Verbs:

Inseparable phrasal verbs always remain together. It makes no difference if a noun or pronoun
is used.
Examples:
He scraped by on only $800 a month for two years. NOT He scraped it by for two years.
They splashed out on new office furniture. NOT They splashed it out.
Note: All phrasal verbs containing more than one particle are inseparable.
I’ve put up with the situation for more than two years.
Tip: If you are not sure whether a phrasal verb is separable or inseparable, ALWAYS use a noun
or nouns phrase and DO NOT separate. In this manner, you will always be correct!
