Evolution!

What’s up?

Evolution! What’s up? Contains eight regular units in the student book, eight units

in the workbook, and two review units. It can be used for either a 45 or 60-hour

of class tutoring. The teacher should when possible propose extra activities from

the students as a way of enhancing the program, taking into account the groups needs,

purposes, and availability of time.

This book is meant to help you out give firm steps in the English learning process, and

also to prepare you to be ready to travel around the world feeling more integrated with the

environment with which you might come across as you venture into new possibilities in your

life.

Special attention has been given in the communicative approach through the various

activities which have their foundation in the interaction of peers in the classroom. For this

reason, every situation can be used by the student as an input for him or her to transfer not

only the situation but also the vocabulary to his or her own personal experience. We also

believe it is prominent that the students enhance vocabulary through the reading of texts

which deal with cultural issues as well as everyday situations in the form of writing, such

as journal entries, e-mails, as well as the narration of events. Both the textbook and the

workbook provide a variety of reading and writing exercises to reinforce the grammar and

vocabulary.

Evolution! What’s up? Is a way of starting a conversation and in this way of interacting

with others. Thus, it is a way of getting to meet new people, making friends, learning about

different cultures, places, and ideas. Practice in each unit is designed to stimulate conversation

and guide the students in describing the scenes, speaking about their personal information,

and expressing opinions about various topics.

Some of the conventions used in the book are as follows: a slash mark as in “Yes, I do.

/ No, I don’t.” indicates that students have an alternative and should give the information

that is true about them. The underlined words such as in “What’s your mother’s name?”

indicate that they can be substituted for other words, in this case “father’s”, “brother’s”, and

so on. In other words, it is a way of having you practice the language and therefore learn it in

a creative and fun way.

We have intended to provide a basic resource of language and culture to be used in

basic level classes as a main text. It is our hope that our texts and conversations, along with

the exercises proposed and the illustrations will stimulate you and your students to enjoy and

discuss each topic at hand. We welcome you to share your ideas with us.

Have a great time,

History of the English Language

The history of the English language really started with the arrival of

three Germanic tribes who invaded Britain during the 5th century AD.

These tribes, the Angles, the Saxons and the Jutes, crossed the North

Sea from what today is Denmark and northern Germany. At that time

the inhabitants of Britain spoke a Celtic language. But most of the Celtic

speakers were pushed west and north by the invaders - mainly into what

is now Wales, Scotland and Ireland. The Angles came from “Englaland”

[sic] and their language was called “Englisc” - from which the words

“England” and“English” are derived.

we die

you whisper through the phone Wait for me

to come home

8. Reading - Read the text below and answer the questions:

Why is family support important?

Family is the single most important influence in a child’s life. From their

first moments of life, children depend on parents and family to protect

them and provide for their needs. Parents and family form a child’s first

relationships. They are a child’s first teachers and act as role models in how

to act and how to experience the world around them. By nurturing and

teaching children during their early years, families play an important role

in making sure children are ready to learn when they enter school. Children

thrive when parents are able to actively promote their positive growth and

development. Every parent knows that it’s sometimes difficult to do this

important work without help, support, and additional resources. http://

10. Reading. Read about Christmas in these countries. Is it different from your country?

Christmas has only been widely celebrated in Japan for the

last few decades. It’s still not seen as a religious holiday or

celebration as there aren’t many Christians in Japan. Now

several customs that came to Japan from the USA such as

sending and receiving Christmas Cards and Presents are

popular. In Japan, Christmas is known as more of a time

to spread happiness rather than a religious celebration.

Christmas Eve is often celebrated more than Christmas Day. Christmas

Eve is thought of as a romantic day, in which couples spend together and

exchange presents. In many ways it resembles Valentine’s Day celebrations

in the UK and the USA. Young couples like to go for walks to look at the

Christmas lights and have a romantic meal in a restaurant - booking a table

on Christmas Eve can be very difficult as it’s so popular!

Christmas in Russia is normally celebrated on January 7th (only

a few Catholics might celebrate it on the 25th December).

The date is different because the Russian Orthodox Church

uses the old ‘Julian’ calendar for religious celebration days.

The Orthodox Church also celebrates Advent. But it has fixed

dates, starting on 28th November

and going to the 6th January, so it’s

40 days long.

The official Christmas and New

holidays in Russia last from December 31st to January 10th.

9. Reading: Read about Paulo Coelho and answer the questions:

Paulo Coelho was born in 1947 into a middle-class family, the son of Pedro,

an engineer, and Lygia, a housewife. At seven, he entered the Jesuit school

of San Ignacio in Rio de Janeiro. Paulo came to detest the obligatory nature

of religious practice. However, although he hated praying and going to

mass, there were compensations. In the school’s austere corridors, Paulo

discovered his true vocation: to be a writer. He won his first literary prize

in a school poetry competition, and his sister, Sonia, recounts how she

won an essay prize by entering something that Paulo had discarded in the

wastepaper bin.

When we’ll run out of time so I’m gonna love you

Like I’m gonna lose you

You could lose everything

The truth is you never know

So I’ll kiss you longer baby

Any chance that I get
