To accompany the launching of this educational initiative, wehave prepared several resources according to age and years ofschooling. Children in first grade will receive a textbook thatintegrates stories and activities appropriate for their age andthat will help to develop the holistic curriculum designed for thisSubnivel de Educacin General Bsica. Teachers will receive a CD withsongs in order to use music to familiarize students with theirfirst words in English as a complementary material. From then on,until they complete the Bachillerato General Unificado, studentswill receive textbooks, audio CDs and extra resources that willcontribute to the development of their learning in the areas ofScience, Social Sciences, Language and Literature, Mathematics andForeign Language-English.It is also important to know that teacherswill receive teaching guides (teachers

This resource should be considered a support for theteaching-learning approach that must be guided by teachers andcarried out by students in order to achieve its goal.
We hope that this adventure of knowledge will be the path toachieving Good Living.

Writing Strategy
Use quotation marks to report what other people say or said.E.g. We also eat very healthy food and if we get an injury, wetake
good care of it until recovery, said Venus.
In professional womens tennis around the world there are twosisters who have already made history since their debut in 1994.They are Venus and Serena Williams. They were born in the UnitedStates, in the 80s, and they live in Florida with their family. TheWilliams
sisters have played in professional tennis matches since the1990s and by
the year 2003 both had become No. 1 in the world.They have hitthe headlines several times and have made history for variousreasons. First, the Womens Tennis Association (WTA) has ranked theWilliams sisters World No. 1 in singles on various occasions.Second, they became the first black women to accomplish this goalin the history of tennis. Third, they have won more Olympic goldmedals than any other female tennis player. We play with our heartsand souls for our country and for all the women we represent in theworld, said Venus.
But what makes the Williams sisters such outstanding tennisplayers? We train really hard every day and keep our bodies fit tobuild an aggressive style, said Serena. It is noticeable that ittakes discipline and great physical effort on their part. We alsoeat very healthy food and if we get an injury, we take good care ofit until recovery, said Venus. But mental and emotional aspectsalso play a key role. Sometimes, they can get nervous when they getnear the finish line in a key set, said Richard Williams, theirfather, best friend and mentor. They love each other and havestrong family bonds.

Newspapers can be published every day or every week, thus, theycan be daily or weekly newspapers. They can also be local,national, or international. Newspapers are typically printed oncheap, low-quality paper, usually called newsprint. A newspaper isa publication that contains informative articles, news of currentevents, advertising, and a variety of entertaining features such ascrosswords, editorial cartoons, and comic strips.
Newspapers also cover a variety of topics and these areorganized in sections. Each section contains articles that arebased on facts. The title of an article, printed in large letters,is called the headline, and the author and publishing date areusually included. The different sections of a newspaper
include: politics, business and economy, education, opinion,arts, sports, health and lifestyle, and a number of classifiedsabout jobs, real estate, cars, and other products. Almost allprinted versions of newspapers also have online editions.Broadsheet newspapers generally contain more serious news thantabloids, which are smaller and emphasize shocking stories aboutfamous people.

Lesson 3
Smart Lifestyles
3. As you read, underline the healthy habits you find.
1. Answer the questions. Then, survey ten partners and shareyour results.
How useful is it for the environment Good Neutral Not Good
a. to use pesticides to grow veggies and fruit?b. to reducecooking time by cutting food into small pieces?c. to pollute theair with toxic fumes from factories and cars?
Today, people live in a globalized consumer society. This is aworld where we buy, use, and consume a huge variety of products. Itmust have been very difficult to live 30 years ago without fastfood or electronic devices that make our lives more comfortable andeasier. However, the result of all this is an enormous damage toour health and to the environment. This essay will discuss ways inwhich individuals can take care of their own health whileprotecting natural resources.
First of all, people who grow their own vegetables in theirgarden or in window boxes, protect the soil from pesticides. Theycan enjoy tasty and fresh vegetables that are free from damagingchemicals.
Secondly, eating fruits and vegetables on a regular basis ishealthier than eating fatty foods. Besides, cooking veggies saves alot more energy because
it uses less gas than cooking fats. People who cut up theirveggies into small pieces can reduce the cooking time and savecooking water, too.
The third point is related to physical activity. For shortjourneys, people who walk, use a bike, or even encourage their kidsto use a skateboard or rollerblades, can improve their health whilethey protect the environment from the pollution caused by the toxicfumes from cars.
In summary, there are healthy habits that people can include intheir daily lifestyles. Even if people might have not thought aboutthese possibilities, I think there are many actions we can take tomake a difference and to protect our health and that of our planetEarth.
2. Read the essay below and find the words in bold face whichhave these meanings.
a. : harm b. : a long narrow container for growing plants put ona window ledge c. : machines or appliances that use electricityd. :that has an influence on the whole world

a. What are the two aspects involved in having a long and happylife?b. How is personality connected to life expectancy? c. Why isit important to choose your friends wisely? d. What are the keyenvironmental problems that affect life expectancy?
Most people are interested in having a long and happy life. Theway we live every day, together with how we manage our naturalresources, can play a key role in enjoying a long and happylife.
Having healthy habits goes beyond nutrition. It is true thateating fats and junk food does not do any good to our health, butwhat else can make a difference? Studies have shown that ourpersonality is also a key factor: being sociable and enjoying timewith friends is connected to long life expectancy. But, be wisewhen choosing your friends because habits, both healthy andunhealthy, are socially contagious. Community problems related tothese social habits include obesity, smoking, drinking, and evenstress. So, look for buddies who like exercising, sleeping well,and being in a good mood.
Taking care of the environment and protecting the naturalresources can also make a big difference. People live longer inplaces where there is less air pollution, less contamination inrivers and oceans, and less chemicals in the soil. So, look forplaces where the air, water, and soil are clean.
