"
The word "globalization" expresses one of the most characteristic features of the
modern world: communications have brought us closer in unexpected ways just
a few years ago; Countries are always more connected through commercial
exchanges; Science and knowledge are the patrimony of all nations. More and
more we feel part of the "great human family", with deep common roots, with a
present shared with concern and united in the utopia of caring for our common
village. The barriers and the walls are falling, and new bridges of solidarity are
being built between the peoples embraced in the common cause of universal
brotherhood and speaking the language of love.
The knowledge of a foreign language, English, opens a great door to find and
appreciate other cultures and engage in a sincere and cordial worldwide
dialogue, which allows us to know, understand and help each other as brothers.

English around the World
People use w ords to express their ideas, intentions, emotions and
information. Currently, the w ords that people use are often English
w ords. The English language has More than 500.000 w ords. Most of
these w ords are very unusual: we almost never use them. Some w ords
that English speakers use are taken from different languages. For example:
• Avocado, Barbecue and Totem come from indigenous American
language.
Jungle and Yoga are of Indian origin.
Kangaroo comes from an aboriginal Australian w ord.
Ketchup is Chinese.

The Water Cycle
Earth is mostly water. Water is needed for all forms of
life. Water can be found in snow, glaciers, lakes, rivers,
streams, and underground. Water can also be in the form
of vapor. The sun heats the water and it evaporates into
the atmosphere. When the atmosphere is cold, the vapor
becomes clouds. It rains or snows because of temperature
variations in the atmosphere.

Exchanges information about academic and
general interest topics, through simple
conversations, dialogues, and role-plays. In
these conversations, the student may express
opinions in a simple manner using previously
studied models. For example:
Santi: Do you think that recycling paper is
important?
Camilo: Yes, because recycling paper saves
the trees in the forest.
Santi: How do you save the trees?
Camilo: If we recycle paper, we don’t need
