The psychology of color as it relates to persuasion is one of the most interesting — and most
controversial — aspects of marketing.
Let's address branding, which is one of the most important issues relating to color perception. As
mentioned, there have been a lot of attempts to classify consumer responses to different individual colors:

The Psychology of Color in Branding

English
BUT the truth is that color depends a lot on
personal experiences to be universally translated
to specific feelings. There are, however, roader
messaging patterns to be found in color perceptions.
In a study titled Impact of olor on Marketing,
researchers found that up to 90% of rapid judgments
made aout products can e ased on color alone,
depending on the product. Another study shows that
the relationship between brands and color depends
on the appropriateness of the color being used for
the particular brand (does the color "fit" what is
being sold?).
A study titled "Exciting Red and Competent
lue also confirms that purchasing intent is greatly
affected by colors due to their effect on how a brand
is perceived colors influence how customers view
the "personality" of the brand in question. ho,
for example, would want to uy a Harley avidson
motorcycle if they didn't get the feeling that Harleys
were rugged and cool?

we're getting into minutiae without additional
context, such as how and why you're positioning
against a direct competitor, and how you're using
color to achieve that goal.
the individual color itself. If Harley owners uy the
product in order to feel rugged, colors that work est
will play to that emotion.
Psychologist and Stanford professor Jennifer
Aaker has conducted studies on this very topic, and
her paper titled imensions of rand ersonality
points out five core dimensions that play a role in a
brand's personality.

research has found that predicting consumer reaction
to color appropriateness is far more important than

Michael Phelps
Authentic
English
MICHAEL Phelps, the 31-year-old
American swimmer, has 19 Gold
medals up to August 9, 2016. There
is no doubt that Michael Phelps is extremely
well-suited for swimming.
Phelps is 6 ft. 1 in. tall and weighs
around 185 pounds (84 kg). He has size
14 feet and a 6 ft. 4 in. arm reach, which is
3 in. longer than his height. He has relatively
short legs for his height, which gives him
an additional advantage in the pool. Also,
his knees are double-jointed and his feet
can rotate 15 degrees more than average,
allowing them to be straightened fully so
that his mighty feet act like flippers. These
genetic advantages help him kick off the wall
and propel himself dolphin-like for 10 m.
before actually having to swim. This is how
he got the name "the human dolphin".
42

His breakfast consists of three fried-egg
sandwiches topped with cheese, lettuce,
tomatoes, fried onions with mayonnaise,
toast, an omelet, porridge, three pancakes
and two cups of coffee. This breakfast
could easily feed an entire average family.
This is not all eaten at once, though.
Before practice, he eats cereal or oatmeal,
and then, after practice, it's the eggs, the
omelet, etc.
Phelps trains for six hours a day, six days
a week, without fail. Even if Christmas day
falls on a training day, he does a full day
of training. Total dedication to his training
program has made him a world champion.
Phelps is a solitary man, but he's kindhearted.
He loves children and he's married
to Miss California USA, Nicole Johnson.
They have a son, Boomer Robert Phelps.
Professional swimmers have to live an
organized life. They have to train hard and
follow their trainer's commands without
asking.
After intense exercise, lactic acid moves
into the bloodstream, which makes you
feel tired and very slow. Phelps recovers

The Advantages and Disadvantages
of Being a Pilot
Authentic
English
Advantages
Love for the job
irst of all, most pilots are very passionate aout their profession and love flying airplanes. f
everyone I know in all kinds of different professions, no one enjoys their jo as much as pilots do.
Schedule
Airline pilots don't work the typical to 5 schedule that many other professionals follow. ery often,
pilots have days where they are N and days where they are . This means they work for a
few days at a time, and then they rest for a few days at a time.
Travel
If you love to travel, then this jo is for you. You have the opportunity to see the world on your
company's dime as you work for the man as an airline pilot, ut you also enjoy travel enefits,
like inexpensive availale seating to wherever your airline flies, or discount airline tickets for you,
your family, and your parents.
Not taking the job home
Many professionals, even when at home, are still chained to their jo. ven on their days off, they
still may e reuired to answer emails, texts, or phone calls. That is certainly not for pilots.
Benefits
ther enefits that airline pilots enjoy are good
retirement enefits, such as travel enefits eing
extended for life. enefits also include good health
insurance for pilots and their families, matched
retirement funds and paid vacations that last up
to three weeks each year in addition to all of the
regular time off that they get.
Unit 3 | What do you do on weekends? 75

Disadvantages
Not seeing their families so often
Pilots are out of town quite often and for a few days, which means they don't see their families for
several days at a time.
Flying to exotic destinations doesn't mean they get to see them
For the most part, layovers are so short that a pilot will stay at a hotel with a view of the airport he
or she just landed at. In most cases they only have enough time to shower, eat, get some rest, and
e ready to do it all again tomorrow.
Being very careful with alcohol
The mantra of drinking aviators is eight hours ottle to throttle (12 hours at some airlines),
meaning that on layovers a pilot must finish the last cocktail and comply with an eighthour alcohol
prohiition efore getting ack in the cockpit.
Holidays not being sacred
The usiest travel days of the year happen to e holidays. While pilots' families are opening gifts
and having eggnog, they're stuck in some airport hotel trying to find the only open restaurant in
town. Since airlines don't find holidays sacred, pilots forget aout ever eing home for holidays or
irthdays.
More disadvantages
ilots have erratic sleep / rest patterns and jetlags. The airline usiness is very volatile, almost
everything affects it, for example, fuel prices, wars, diseases, terror threats, and volcanic eruptions.
In conclusion, all careers have advantages and disadvantages, no matter how pretty or glamorous
they look. You have to choose the one you're really in love with, because you must remember that
you'll proaly do it for life.

Lead-in Discussion
1. Is there a typical Mexican?
2. How would you describe him / her?
3. Do you think stereotyping is OK?
Mexico is a diverse country. Our people have different characteristics according to the region they come
from; some are short and dark-skinned, others are tall and fair-skinned, while quite a few are white and
blond. Mexico is a country with a high range of immigrants that have loved and cherished this beautiful
land as theirs.
Let's start with the Spanish, then French, Dutch, Chinese and African. Many people from Chile,
Argentina and Central America have moved here.
Mexico is the land of opportunities. We think that our people are all similar. But they have many
different characteristics that make our country rich in diversity and culture.

Races of Mexico and the Mexican Genome
Authentic
English
Afriend of mine was visiting in Europe, and
there he encountered a white tourist.
pon finding she was from Mexico, my
friend lurted out ut you don't look like a
Mexican So what does a Mexican look like?
acially speaking, there is great diversity
among Mexicans.
The Mexican racial reakdown is officially
presented as white, Mestizo
(Indigenousuropean mix), Indigenous,
and 1 others. The Mestizaje (mixture) of
Indians and Spaniards is the main component
of Mexican racial history. And yet, the details
are even more complicated.
The race mixture is so thorough that among
Mexico's Mestizo majority, within the same
nuclear family you can find that silings with
the same mother and father, range from quite
dark skin to very light skin.
ut it's not only the skin color. Some Mexicans
have white skin with indigenous racial features,
while others have dark skin with uropean
facial features.
enerally speaking, the genome research
confirmed what was already ovious aout the
mixed origins of the Mexican population. The
project concluded that Mexicans are the product
of the mixture of 5 ethnic groups.
oughly speaking, the Mexican population
was calculated to e 5 indigenous, and 5
nonindigenous (uropean, African, Asian.)
f course, there is great regional diversity as
well. According to the Mexican enome roject,
the population of the northern state of Sonora
is 5 uropean. The population of the acific
state of uerrero is 22 of African origin.
This is all very interesting, and it has its medical
uses as well, since medical predispositions are
often due to racial ackgrounds. As r. imenez
Sanchez pointed out, some medicines that are
developed in the .S. and urope are not ideal
for Mexicans (except for the uroMexicans,
of course).

your opinion of the topic? Discuss in groups.
Many readers complain that movie adaptations simply aren't as good as
the eloved ooks on which they are ased.
There are many reasons for this, ut the most common one is
simply that movies are a fraction of the length of ooks. Necessarily, a
movie's pacing is much tighter than a ook's.
ooks and movies are perhaps nowhere more different than in
their opening scenes. Readers are not as patient in the beginning as are
viewers, which means authors must create stronger, faster hooks that
get readers to the heart of oth the conflict and the character as uickly
as possible.
Movies have uite a few advantages over ooks. Their visual
nature can often seem more exciting, especially when portraying
physical action.

Present Continuous
(Also called Present Progressive)
Use the Present Continuous for:
• Actions happening at the moment of speaking or in progress at a specific period of time.
Tom is studying at this moment.
It's raining very hard now.
My mom is cooking dinner now.
We are taking our English class at this moment.
I'm wearing jeans and a blue shirt today.
We are cleaning our house this week.
Spelling rules to add -ing.
• The final e is dropped:
come coming take taking make making
• Double e: add -ing:
see seeing
• For short, one-syllable verbs that end with consonant + stressed vowel + consonant (CVC), the final
consonant is doubled:
sit sitting swim swimming run running
• For words that end w, x and y, do not double the last consonant; just add -ing:
enjoy enjoying fix fixing
• When words have two or more syllables ending in CVC, you must double the last consonant only if
the last syllable is stressed. When the last syllable is not stressed, just add -ing.
admit admitting but open opening (the e is not stressed)
• For verbs that end in -ie, change the ie to y before adding -ing:
lie lying die dying
American English: traveling. In British English double one -l at the end of the word: travel travelling
There are verbs which are normally not used in the Present Continuous:
be, believe, belong, hate, hear, like, love, mean, prefer, remain, realize, see, seem, smell, think,
understand, want, wish.

Possessive s' / 's
Use 's with a singular noun to show possession:
Bob's house is near. Liz is Paul's mother.
We use ' with a plural noun ending in -s:
My parents' pet The Robbins' house The girls' room
Use 's with plurals that do not use -s:
Children's toys People's choice
For names ending in -s, use either 's, or just ':
(The first option is more common)
Luis's car or Luis' car James's pet or James' pet
Use 's when listing two or more singular nouns, only in the
last mentioned:
Tom and Jerry's house
My brother and my sister's toys
But use only ' if the last noun is plural:
My brother and my sisters' toys
(I have one brother and two sisters)
For similar nouns that belong to different people use the possessive
case with each person:
John's and Paul's cars are the same color.
Singular and Plural Nouns
The plural of nouns is usually formed by adding -s to a singular noun.
a pen pens a student students
Nouns ending in s, z, x, sh, and ch form the plural by adding -es.
a box boxes a match matches a bus buses
Nouns ending in a consonant + -y, change to -ies.
a city cities a puppy puppies a baby babies
But not when there is a vowel before y
a boy boys a toy toys a play plays
Most nouns ending in -f or -fe, change to -ves.

Reading & Listening Strategies
Developing receptive skills requires the use and practice of different strategies. Here we mention some
of these strategies and techniques you can use in the classroom.
Previewing
Previewing gives students a sense of how the text is
organized and what lies ahead. You can preview by
reading the heading(s) and captions, and looking at the
graphic components in the text. This also helps readers
identify the topic. Previewing can help students realize
that a text is not as difficult as they thought it might be.
Predicting
After previewing, students can predict what the text
will be about, with the help of the headings and
the graphic components. Students might want to
write down their prediction in order to check it after
skimming the text.
Skimming
Skimming is a rapid reading / listening, done with
the purpose of getting the main focus or ideas from a
passage. For example, the reader / listener may skim
a text to find if the author has a positive or a negative
view of something. This is a top-down process.
Scanning
This technique is used when the reader / listener wants
to locate a specific piece of information, without
necessarily understanding the rest of the text. For
example, when students need to find a specific name
or number, as we do when we read a telephone book.
This is a bottom-up process.
Reading / Listening for gist (main idea)
You can identify topic sentences in a text to find the
main idea in it. Usually, the topic sentence is the first
or second sentence in a paragraph.
Pre-reading / listening Stage
Tasks / questions that help activate students' schema
and help pre-teach or revise key vocabulary.
While-reading / listening Stage
Tasks that allow students to extract information and
make sense of what they are reading.
Post-reading / listening Stage
Students perform tasks which are as authentic as
possible, personalize and clarify meaning.
SQ3R – Survey, Question, Read, Recite and Review
Used for better understanding of reading / listening,
it uses both pre- and post- skills. The Review stage
should be done several times and may take longer than
the other steps.
KWL strategy
KWL is a graphic organizer to aid learning. It can
be used for work with a complete unit or one text.
Teachers activate students' prior knowledge by
asking them what they already Know; then students
(collaborating as a classroom unit or within small
groups) set goals specifying what they Want to
learn; and after the task students discuss what they
have Learned. Students apply higher-order thinking
strategies which help them construct meaning from
what they read / listened to and help them monitor
their progress toward their goals.
"What I Know (K)" – Starting with what they already
know makes good sense. It shows respect, activates
prior knowledge, shows gaps in knowledge, allows
mistakes, errors and misconceptions to be discussed and
generally builds self-esteem individually and as a class.
The K column is for supposed facts, but not opinion.
"What I Want to Know (W)" – This is an exciting
column, where students are encouraged to ask
questions, especially when you explain that there is no
such thing as a silly question. Encourage them to be
lateral, to ask any kinds of questions.
"What I Have Learned (L)" – After reading / listening
to a text and "learning" the material, students complete
this column with the new knowledge acquired.
Rounding up – Students go back to the "K" column
and see if any of their ideas or prior knowledge was
inaccurate. They correct any that are inaccurate,
according to the text / unit.
Then students go to the "W" column and check if
there are any of their questions that the text did not
answer. Students should be prepared to bring these
unanswered questions up in class, or discuss how they
can find the answers to them and where they will look
for the answers.

Writing & Speaking Strategies
DEVELOPING PRODUCTIVE SKILLS – SPEAKING & WRITING
Developing productive skills requires the use and practice of different strategies. Here are some of these
strategies and techniques you can use in the classroom.
SPEAKING
We often think that being able to speak is the product or result of learning a language but in fact
speaking is a vital part of the learning process. In other words, by speaking and communicating in
English, students will learn English. It is even suggested that knowledge of the language, for example
grammatical structures is actually a by-product or consequence of communicative interaction.
There are a number of strategies and devices that we can teach students that they can use to help them
improve their conversational and communicative ability and so enhance the learning process.
USING ADJACENCY PAIRS
These are simply exchanges composed of two utterances made by two speakers. The exchanges 'match'
each other and the first exchange provokes the response. Many conversational actions are achieved
through established adjacency pairs. Look at these examples:
Greeting Greeting e.g. "Hi!" "Oh, hello."
Question Answer e.g. "What's your name?" "I'm Lety."
Offer Acceptance / rejection e.g. "Would you like some tea?" "Yes,please." / "No, thank you."
TURN-TAKING
Simply put, a 'turn' is the time when a speaker is talking and turn-taking is the ability to know and
recognize when to start and finish a turn in a conversation.
One of the ways a speaker signals that his / her turn is about to finish is by using a falling intonation at
the end of an utterance.
Example:
"So, I'll see you on Saturday."
ASKING FOR CLARIFICATION
During a conversation, when a speaker doesn't understand something the other speaker has said, he /
she asks for the first speaker to clarify. There are various ways of doing this:
To repeat the word or phrase as a question. E.g. "Hovercraft?"
To ask the other person to explain. E.g. "What's a hovercraft?" or "What do you mean, hovercraft?"
Show a lack of understanding. E.g. "What?" or "I don't understand" or "Huh?"
Suggest a word you think has a similar meaning. E.g. "Hovercraft? Is that like a boat?"
INTERRUPTING
Sometimes it can be necessary to interrupt another speaker's turn. A number of phrases can be learned
and used:
"Can I just say something?"
"Sorry to interrupt, but…"
"If I can interrupt you here…"
HOLDING THE FLOOR (Maintaining a turn)
Similarly, these phrases can be used to hold on to a turn and ask for the other person to wait.
"Just a second / moment."
"Please let me just finish."
"Hang on / Hold on." (note: this is more informal)
These strategies can be taught to students, but In order for students to really develop their speaking and
conversational skills, it is essential that they have as much practice as possible. This means providing lots
of opportunities for speaking in class and encouraging students to interact and converse, not just with the
teacher but also with each other.

Understanding American English
• Use last names with people you do not know. Address people using their title (Mr., Ms., Dr.) and
their last names.
• It is important to use "Ms." when addressing a woman. Only use "Mrs." when the woman has asked
you to do so!
• Americans often prefer using first names, even when dealing with people in very different positions.
Americans will generally say, "Call me Jack," and then expect you to remain on a first-name basis.
• In general, Americans prefer informal greetings and using first names or nicknames when speaking
with colleagues and acquaintances.
