1.1 Teaching the alphabet
Not knowing letter names is related to children's difficulty in learning letter sounds and in recognizing words. Children cannot understand and apply the alphabetic principle (understanding that there are systematic and predictable relationships between written letters and spoken sounds) until they can recognize and name a number of letters. Children whose alphabetic knowledge is not well developed when they start school need sensibly organized instruction that will help them identify, name, and write letters. Once children are able to identify and name letters with ease, they can begin to learn letter sounds and spellings. Children appear to acquire alphabetic knowledge in a sequence that begins with letter names, then letter shapes, and finally letter sounds. Children learn letter names by singing songs such as the "Alphabet Song," and by reciting rhymes. They learn letter shapes as they play with blocks, plastic letters, and alphabetic books. Informal but planned instruc-tion in which children have many opportunities to see, play with, and compare letters leads to efficient letter learning. This instruction should include activities in which chil-dren learn to identify, name, and write both upper case and lower case versions of each letter.
SPEAKING
Students will repeat first each word then they will repeat the each single word and
the corresponding word for each letter. This is just some vocabulary that students can
learn while learning the alphabet.
ACTIVITIES FOR EVALUATION THE CLASS developing the Listening skills, Speaking, Writing, and learning Vocabulary as well.
First activity
Students will Sing the alphabet song ( practice Lis-tening)
Teacher will play a song
Students will play a game they will play the ABC ga-me. Our children will find the letter on worksheets or pictures. The teacher will give the letter and stu-dents will find the letter and circle it. Teacher will provide to the students a page like this one.
Another alphabet game Its fun for kids and can be fun for adults too.. Start with the letter
A. “A is for apple”, “B is for banana”, “C is for cat”, and continue on with all the letters. For
example, the play could consist with the alphabet game with fruit or animals. This way
they are learning to sorals or fruits and also practicing their alphabet.

DAYS AND MONTHS
The days of the week
What day is it today?
This question is used if you´ve simply forgotten what day of the week it is.
Example:
Excuse me! What day is it today? Today is Tuesday/It´s Tuesday.
Myley, what day is it today? It´s Saturday
What’s your favorite day of the week?
This question is often used when friends or other people want to know if you do so-
mething special during the week.
Example:
My favorite day of the week is/It´s Tuesday, Wednesday… Then you can add the reasons
why you like any specific day.
The months of the year
In English, months are correctly written with an initial capital: January, Frebruary…
Vocabulary: January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September,
October, November and December; Monday Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Fri-
day, Saturday, and Sunday; day,month, year, date, today,week

Writing the Date
Note - which format to use is a question of formality, politeness and personal
choice; generally, the longer formats, such as B or C, are more polite (since they show more respect for the reader). Shorter formats, such as D or E, are used in less formal situations, for example a memo, a letter between friends or an impersonal business letter. Format F is rather official and is typically seen on an invoice or an official or technical document. Format A is ex-tremely formal and mainly used on printed items, for example a wedding invitation. The nu-merical formats may use a full stop (.) or hyphen (-) instead of a slash (/), for example: 14.3.2011 or 03-14-11.

2.3 Learning to introduce myself
Introducing yourself doesn’t mean that you are going to tell you name, it requires
the appropiate information of the context you are in.
Introducing yourself in class.
Hi! My name is Mark Smith, I´m from Canada and I have been living there all my life, I like to practice tennis but I really love go to the gym. I’m studing a major in History and I would like to be very famous one day. Bye! Go now, introduce yourself using your information:
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
This an introduction very easy to do it and remember, don’t forget to be polite with
older people. However, in real life you have to make an ongoing conversation,
that´s why you can use questions and answer at the same time. For example:
George: Hello Bush! Have you heard
about the new Fire department in the city?
It´s a big station nextto central park.
Bush: Yes, I have. That station is going
to be very helpful in our city, yesterday
they firefihters body stinguish a burning in
the forest, fortunatelly they were very pro-
fessional and the burning was put out
easily.
George: Fantastic, the equipment they
have is modern and very useful at all.
Bush: Now, my son wish to be a fireman but I’m worry about that´s look no safe!
George: Don´t you worry man, they are professional and they know what to do, he will
be a hero one day...
In an ongoing conversation a second person will ask you questions, you will answer
these questions and make questions involving topics to create interest in listen
what other person is talking about.
Practice context: Create you own conversation and use the given space:
Chuck: ____________________________________________________________.
Lila:
______________________________________________________________________________________________________.
Chuck: ___________________________________________________________________________________________.
Donald: _____________________________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________.
Lila: _________________________________.
Formal and informal conversation
Formal coversation
It is very important to take in account very important phrasology that is used in
formal conversations, you have to learn the differences between formal and infor-
mal dialogues:
In formal conversation you have to call
every person by their first name and last
name.
Don´t forget to say Miss, Mr. Sir. Senior, or
call people by their professions: engenier,
teacher, doctor, lawyer and so on.
Don’t forget to use appropiate vocabulary
for each context you are in.
Make eyes contact and pay attention in what this person is speaking.
Avoid use your cellphone while you´re keeping a conversation.
Catch the moment when you will use funny phrases.
Be self-confident and respect different opinions.

2.4 Daily Routines
General routines
Take a shower Have breakfast Get Up
Daily Routines at the Fire Department
Get Dressed Daily Trainning Apparatus Maintenance
Fire Suppression Upkeep of Station
Grammar Focus:
Simple Present
Structure (Positive) Subject + Base Verb (+ s/es in third person) + Object
Examples: I get up early in the morning My wife brushes her long hair before work. My son goes to school the whole week.
The school bus leaves at 7 every morning
My daughter loves puppies.
Windshield are made of glass
Time expressions with simple present tense
The simple present tense is used to talk about things that happen regularly, repeatedly or all the time. As a result of this, we often use some adverbs of frequency with the simple present tense to state how often somebody does something.
Adverbs commonly used with the simple present tense are: always, usually, often, someti-mes, occasionally, rarely and never. Note that the adverbs of frequency usually go before the verb.
He often visits his grandparents.
I often buy comics.
We usually go to Singapore in April.
I usually get up early.
She always carries an umbrella.
He never gets angry.
I sometimes read foreign periodicals.
They rarely watch TV at night.
She frequently buys detective stories.
Structure (Negative)
Negatives in simple present use do not or does not. They also use be + not.
Do Not/Does Not Subject + Do/Does +not + base verb
Examples:
He does not get up early. He does not shine his shoes in the morning. She studies English. She does not study English.
After do not or does not the verb is always in the base form.
Be + Not
Negative sentences can also use the verb to be and not. They look like these examples:
I am not a firefighter. She is a very skillfull firefighter. They are not from the fire department.
Questions
Yes / No questions (closed questions)
In English, there are two basic types of questions: Yes / No questions and Wh- questions.
Yes / No questions are also called closed questions because there are only two possible res-ponses: Yes or No. When forming a Yes / No question, it must include one of these verbs: BE, DO, HAVE, or a MODAL VERB. It is impossible to ask a Yes / No question without one of these verbs.)
The following is the word order to construct a basic question in English using Do or Does
Do I play?
Do you play?
Does he play?
Does she play?
Does it play?
Do we play?
Do they play?
Do/Does Subject Verb The Rest of the sentence
Do I / you /
we / they have / buy
eat / like etc. cereal for breakfast?
Does he / she / it

Speaking practice Practice the dialogue – Susan and Christine talking about what sport to practice. Susan: So, do you want to play tennis this weekend? Christine: I'm afraid I can't play tennis. Susan: NO, are you joking? I'm sure you can play tennis. EVERYBODY can play tennis. Christine: Well, I can't. BUT I can play golf. Susan: Really, I can play golf, too. - but not very well. Christine: I have an idea. Why don't we play tennis this weekend and then next weekend golf? Susan: OK, that's a good idea. Let’s go. Grammar focus: Adjectives
Adjectives are used to describe or give information about things, ideas and peo-ple: nouns or pronouns. For Example:
Cristiano ronaldo is a good player (The adjective good describes the noun "player".) Mustáfina is an excellent gymnast. (The adjective excellent describes the noun gymnast)
The most common question an adjective might answer is "What kind of ...?" The good news is that in English the form of an adjective does not change, once you have learnt it that's it and it does not matter if the noun being described is male or female, sin-gular or plural, subject or object. Some adjectives give us factual information about the noun - age, size colour etc (fact ad-jectives - can't be argued with). Some adjectives show what somebody thinks about something or somebody - nice, ho-rrid, beautiful etc (opinion adjectives - not everyone may agree). If you are asked questions with which, whose, what kind, or how many, you need an adje-ctive to be able to answer. There are different types of adjectives in the English language:
Numeric: six, one hundred and one etc. Quantitative: more, all, some, half, more than enough etc. Qualitative: colour, size, smell etc. Possessive: my, his, their, your etc. Interrogative: which, whose, what etc. Demonstrative: this, that, those, these etc.
Note - The articles a, an, and the are a special kind of adjective called articles,
and the possessives my, our, your, and their are sometimes known as possessive adjectives. Colour
Adjectives can be used to describe colour.
red, yellow, blue, green, purple, orange, etc. For Example:
"The blue bag." or "The blue bags".
Opinion
Adjectives can be used to give your opinion about something. good, pretty, right, wrong, funny, light, happy, sad, full, soft, hard etc. For Example:
He was a silly boy. / She was a silly girl. Size
Adjectives can be used to describe size. big, small, little, long, tall, short, same as, etc. Example
"The big man." or "The big woman".
Age
Adjectives can be used to describe age. old, young, ancient, modern, current, old fashioned For Example: Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument located in Wiltshire, England
. Shape Adjectives can be used to describe shape.
round, circular, triangular, rectangular, square, oval, etc. Example: "It was a square box." or "They were square boxes."
Origin
Adjectives can be used to describe origin.
For Example:- "It was a German flag." or "They were German flags."
Material
Adjectives can be used to identify the material something is made of.
"A wooden cupboard." or "Wooden cupboards."
! Note - In English we often change nouns into adjectives.
glass - a glass vase / metal - a metal tray etc. Distance
Adjectives can be used to describe distance.
long, short, far, around, start, high, low, etc. Example:
"She went for a long walk." or "They went for lots of long walks."
Temperature
Adjectives can be used to describe temperature.
cold, warm, hot, cool, etc. Example: "It was a hot day" or "We eat ice cream on hot days."
Time
Adjectives can be used to describe time.
late, early, bed, nap, dinner, lunch, day, morning, night, etc. Example:
"She had an early start."
Purpose
Adjectives can be used to describe purpose. (These adjectives often end with "-ing".) For Example:
"She gave them a sleeping bag." or "She gave them sleeping bags."
Note - Have you noticed how the adjective stays the same, whether it is describing a mas-culine, feminine, singular or plural noun? When using more than one adjective to modify a noun, the adjectives may be separated by a con-junction (and) or by commas (,). Example: "Her hair was long and blonde." or "She had long, blonde hair." More examples:
Note - Adjectives that go immediately before the noun are called attributive adjectives. Adjectives can also be used after some verbs. They do not describe the verb, adverbs do that. Adjectives after a verb describe the subject of the verb (usually a noun or pronoun). Example:
"Lynne looks tired." The subject (in this case Lynne) is being described as tired not the verb to look. An adjective is a word that describes a noun or pronoun. Directions: Circle the adjective or adjectives in the sentences given below. Then, enclose in parentheses the noun it describes. Example: The (car ride) was bumpy. That food tasted bitter. I was ashamed that I didn’t pass my test. The story was very brief. I felt very comfortable in my new home.
Adjective Pretty Serious Fast Quiet
For Example: She is a pretty girl. He was a serious boy. It could be a fast car. They were quiet chil-dren.

Healthy Breakfast Breakfast is the first meal of the day. Nutritionists recommend that we eat a healthy breakfast to give us energy throughout the day. Oatmeal, cereal, wheat toast, ham, and fresh fruit are healthy breakfast foods. Eggs are popular, but they are high in cholesterol, so we should only eat 3-4 eggs a week. Skipping breakfast is a bad habit, and it makes people feel tired
When do people eat breakfast? People eat breakfast in the morning. It is the first meal of the day.
Most people eat breakfast between 5:00 a.m. and 9:30 a.m.
Is oatmeal a healthy breakfast food? Yes, it is.
Eating oatmeal reduces cholesterol.
High LDL cholesterol levels can cause heart disease.

organize ideas in English correctly.
Contents:
1. Clock time
2. Time of the day
3. Every day activities
4. Working at home
CLOCK TIME
Identifying words that tell how we measure time. Students will use words such words
as day, month, year, hour, second, minute, deca-
de, and century. Focus on the words day, hour, minu-
te, and second. Explain to students that the concept of the 24-hour
day dates back to the time of the ancient Egyptians. Make sure stu-
dents understand that
a day = 24 hours,
an hour = 60 minutes, and
a minute = 60 seconds.
Listening
What time is it? - I
Excuse me. Can you tell me the time, please?
Yes, of course. It's seven o'clock.
Thank you.
No problem.

LISTENING!
The next thing you can do is listening to this time telling the time. Notice how many diffe-rent forms they use to ask for the time.
Speaking with a classmate create a conversation asking about the time and giving the correct information, you can take as example the conversation below.
Writing
Direction: write the correct information in each space
English exercise "Tell the time"
8.25 =» it's
- 8.15 =» it's
- 10.45 =» it's
- 00.30 (minuit et demie) =» it's
- 00.00 (minuit) =» it's
- 15.00 =» it's
- 23.58 =» it's
- 16.26 =» it's
- 14.30 =» it's
- 2.30 =» it's
Look at the rules for telling time in English.
In English we use "past" to say times
after the hour until half past, or 30
minutes past the hour.
We use "to" to say times before the
hour from 31 minutes until the full
hour.
In English we use o'clock only at the
full hour. Example: It's eight o'clock
We can also just say the numbers in
groups of two. Example: It's seven
twenty-five
When speaking about the different ti-
mes of the day we often use: in the
morning, in the afternoon, in the eve-
ning
Be careful! In English we use at night
NOT in the night
Vocabulary : Time and hour
WHAT TIME IS IT?
Instruments for measuring and indicating time are among
the oldest human inventions
SUNDIAL the shadow shows the time. It was widely used in ancient times but it requires the
sun to shine and doesn't work during the
night.
HOURGLASS the sand moves slowly from the top half to the bottom in exactly one hour.

me, work, school and so on.
What do you do at work?
I go to work at 6:00 am every morning.
I usually drive to work.
I always check my emails when I get to work, but I don't
always reply to them immediately.
I take a taxi or a train if I have a lunch meeting. I ne-
ver take the bus because it is too slow.
When I am at my desk I usually work on the computer,
even during morning tea.
At 12:00 pm most days I have lunch.
At 3:00 pm we have afternoon tea, and that is when we usually talk and eat cake.
When you are in the office you probably have a lot of papers. It is important for you to file
your papers, and so that you can find them again you need to organise your files.
When I work I have to make telephone calls. If an important issue happens I ask my se-
cretary toorganise a meeting.
Once a month I report to my boss, but maybe you have to report to your boss more of-
ten. I usuallywrite a document that my boss can read.

Household chores are tasks we do around the house to keep it clean. Some chores need to be done every day. Others need to be done several times a week or just once a week. Examples: I wash the dishes every day, but I wash my clothes just once a week. I cook three times a day, but I mop the kitchen floor just once a week. There are chores we like to do and chores we don't like to do. Most people don't like to take out the trash.

Grammar focus: The Present Continuous Tense
We use the Present Continuous Tense to talk about activities happening now. Example:
The kids are watching burning flame movie. More examples:
I am sitting down, because I am tired. I am not learning German, because this is an English class. Who are you writing to? We can also use the Present Continuous Tense to talk about activities happening around
now, and not necessarily this very moment. Examples: Sally is studying really hard for her exams this week. I am reading a really interesting firefighter magazine now. We aren't working hard these days. The Present Continuous Tense is also used to talk about activities happening in the near
future, especially for planned future events.
Examples I am seeing my dentist on Wednesday. Polly is coming for dinner tomorrow. Are you doing anything tonight? We aren't going on holiday next week.
On the telephone

Carnivals
Rio de Janeiro Venice
Cologne, Germany
Rio de Janeiro Carnival
The Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro is a world famous festival held before Lent every year and con-
sidered the biggest carnival in the world with two million people per day on the streets. The
first festivals of Rio date back to 1723.
The typical Rio carnival parade is filled with revelers, floats and adornments from numerous samba
schools which are located in Rio (more than 200 approximately, divided into 5 leagues/ divisions). A samba
school is composed of a collaboration of local
neighbours that want to attend carnival together, with some kind of regional, geographical
common background.
One of the many main purposes of the Rio carnival parade is for samba schools to compete
with their sisters samba-schools; this competition is the climax of the whole carnival festival in
this city, related to the samba-schools environment. Each school chooses a theme to try to
portray with their entry. The samba schools work to build the best floats, costumes, lyrics,
aesthetics, to represent their themes (in Carnival terminology called "enredo"), and to include
the best music they can from their drumming band called the bateria. There are many parts to
each school's entry including the six to eight floats and up to 4,000 ( four thousand ) revelers
per Samba-school of the so-called Special group.
There is a special order that every school has to follow with their parade entries. Each school
begins with the "comissão de frente" (literally "Commission of the Front" in English), that is
the "wing" or group of people from the school that appear first. Made up of ten to fifteen
people, the "comissão de frente" introduces the school and sets the mood and style of their
presentation. These people have choreographed dances in fancy costumes that usually tell a
short story. Following the "comissão de frente" is the first float of the samba school, called
"abre-alas" (“Opening Wing" in English).
From the concepts below try to find the synomyms or the word that better suit.
Samba:a rhythmic style of dance/sport/competition from Brazil festival
Parade synonym: march-past/ concealment
Climax to reach the greatest/lowest point or level of activity
Fancy synonym: decorative/unornamented
Festival synonym: celebration/wake
Check the statements that are true.
_____ The Carnaval in Rio de Janeiro is a world famous festival.

Reading. Read the next paragraph about healthy diet for Firefigthers. After reading
try to answers the questions below.
Healthy Diet for Firefighters of El
Salvador
Have you ever heard of the Food
Pyramid? No, it’s not a giant pile of
food in Egypt! The Food Pyramid is a
clever chart to show the five groups
of foods that have all the nutrients
that keep your body healthy and ma-
ke you grow. It includes the different foods from all five groups and how much of each ty-
pe of food you should eat.
The foods that make up the widest part of the pyramid’s base–breads, cereals, rice and
pasta–should be the biggest part of your diet, followed
by several servings of fresh fruits and vegetables
every day. And as you ‘climb’ up the pyramid you get
to dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt) and meat, fish,
beans, nuts and eggs. And finally, fats, oils, and sweets
are at the very top of the pyramid–which means that
you should eat very little of these foods!
Remember that it’s very important to eat these good foods, and also exercise regularly.
And one of the most important meals of the day is breakfast! If you eat a healthy breakfast
before leaving for school you’re sure to have better grades, pay more attention at school,
and stay healthier than those kids who don’t eat breakfast. Learn more about the Food
Guide Pyramid for Kids or the Food Pyramid for Adults.

7.3 BEVERAGES
While all beverages hydrate, some also provide important nutrients your body needs. So-
me relax you. Some energize you. Some simply satisfy your natural taste for sweetness –
with calories or without. Some help you perform your best. And some can even help you
manage health concerns. Any beverage can be part of a weight-maintenance diet.
Sing the song with your classmates:
Lyrics: I’m thirsty!
I'm thirsty! Do you like water? Yes, I do! Do you like coffee? No, I don't! Do you like wine? Yes, I do! Do you like beer? No, I don't! I'm thirsty (repeat) Do you like lager? Yes, I do! Do you like cockteil? No, I don't! Do you like cola? Yes, I do!

Do you like chocomilk? Yes, I do!
Let's go get something to drink!
Practice your speaking skill:
Working in pairs, talk with your classmates you likes and dislikes about drinks.
Use this:
I’m thirsty I would like to take a juice but I don´t like lemonade!
Read the next information:
Drink water and low fat milk
Fluids are needed for the body to digest food, cool down, and move nutrients and waste. Drinks are the largest source of fluids.
Most adults need 9 to 12 cups of fluid per day. Your fluid needs depend on your age, gender, body size and activity level. Tips for choosing healthy drinks and Healthy Drinks, Healthy Kids provide guidance for choosing drinks and suggest you and your family:
Drink water throughout the day
Drink milk at meals
Limit fruit juice to ½ cup per day
Drinks containing sugar and fat are often higher in calories. Using these drinks can contri-bute to weight gain. Limit your intake of these drinks to help you manage weight and re-duce the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Avoid drinks with added sugar such as fruit flavoured drinks, soft drinks, sports drinks,
energy drinks, sweetened hot or cold drinks and alcohol.
Choose true or false:
a) Fluids are no needed for you to have good health?.................................................YES……….NO
b) Most of the adults don not need more tan a cup of water at day?.....................YES……….NO
c) What is necessary to get good health?...........................................................................YES……….NO
d) For children drink water, milk and fruit juice is hazardous?..............................YES……….NO
e) Drinks which cointain sugar and fat are often higher in nutrients?................YES…….….NO
f) Limiting yourself to take drinks with a lot sugar and fat will prevent to get a disea-se?......................................................……...................................................………......................YES……….NO
g) Drinks with added sugar such as fruit flavoured drinks, soft drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks, sweetened hot or cold drinks and alcohol are very healthy............................…….......................................................................…….................................................. ................YES……….NO
If you notice in the song there are some specifics likes and dislikes about drinks,
now rewrite a paragraph of this song, but this time choose your preferences:
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Remember:
Rather and Prefer are words
used to show a choice from
different options.
Start with some examples:
Would you rather eat pizza or pasta? I would rather eat pizza.

10 Surprising, Healthy Eating Habits from Around the World
The United States doesn’t have the highest obesity rate in the Americas (that dubious honor goes to Mexico), but over one-third of US adults are currently obese, and that number isn’t dropping. It’s a pretty eye-opening statistic, especially when compared with data from coun-tries like Japan and India, where obesity rates fall below five percent. Why the difference? While national obesity rates depend on many factors, they probably have a lot to do with lifestyle and culture, including what people eat and how they eat it. The good news is that everyone can borrow healthy eating habits from countries around the world — and leave some less-wholesome practices on foreign soil. Keep in mind that these habits come from traditional diets found in these countries — with globalization, some foods and eating habits have migrated around the world (for better or for worse). For exam-ple, les steaks hachés sounds like a typical French food, but it’s actually the meaty part of Le Big Mac (and hardly part of traditional cuisine).
1. Japan
One unexpected habit to steal from Japanese eating cultu-re is the emphasis placed on food’s appearance. Small portions and colorful, seasonal vegeta-bles make for a visually appealing — and healthy — plate. The small portions may help to keep calories in check, while bright veggies provide a range of healthy vitamins and minerals .
Skip: Fish high in heavy metals. Mercury, an element that can cause nervous system damage, is particularly prevalent in predatory species like tuna, king mackerel, and swordfish . Avoid sushi such as maguro (tuna) and nama-saba(mackerel) and go for safer options li-ke sake (salmon), ebi (shrimp), and ika(squid) instead. Check out this list before stepping up to the sushi bar.
2. China Pick up sticks: Chowing down with chopsticks can help slow eating speed, which may ultimately decrease the amount of food eaten. Research has shown slower eating may lead to reduced caloric intake, and one Japanese study found that the odds for being obese and having cardiovascular disease were higher among peo-ple who ate faster . Skip: MSG (though maybe not for everyone). Monosodium Gluta-mate has been linked with a number of negative health effects,
including headaches and numbness, in certain people . Though the research is still somewhat inconclusive, avoid the unpleasant side effects by preparing Chinese food at home or ordering from restaurants that don’t use MSG.
3. United States Go local: The “Standard American Diet” (SAD) is indeed sad, but some regional dietary patterns offer healthier alternatives. Look to San Francisco for inspiration — Frisco residents are known for chowing down on locally grown food. Fruits and veggies grown nearby often contain more nutrients and fewer pesticides than produce that must travel long distances from farm to table .
Skip: Chemicals you're unsure of. Pizza, cheeseburgers, and French fries are obvious “skip” foods, but there are a number of potentially harmful chemicals in American food. Read nutri-tion labels carefully — in general, the shorter the ingredient list, the fewer chemicals and ad-ditives in a given food. READING Scan the text to check your answers.

UNIT 8.
“Welcome to the fire department”
Unit objective:
At the end of the unit, student will be able to re-
cognize basic and intermediate vocabulary used
in a Fire department by getting involvement in
this English context.
Contents:
1. In the station
2. Types of fires
3. Possible events
4. The ambulance and medical services.
A powerful new tool-An easy way to involve parents-As a teacher, you know how impor-
tant parent involvement is! Now you have a powerful new way to engage parents in fire
safety. What's nicer is how easy it is.
All you have to do is send a notice home with each student asking their caregiver to parti-
cipate in a homework assignment by visiting www.firefacts.org. Once there, they'll simply
click the "Parents" tab, and select Parent Homework.
Parents will be asked to read "10 Simple Steps to a Safer Home" and "Practice Safety as a
Family." Once finished, they'll be asked to take a ten question test covering the basics of
fire safety in the home.
After a parent completes the test, an email is automatically sent to you, letting you know that student's parent has completed their homework. Parents can print out a completion
page as verification as well.
Fire safety for the whole family!

READING. THE FIRE
It was a Monday morning in San Salvador when a fire
happened on the corner of Telecom building. The fire
is on the first floor of a two-storey house, and it is
spreading quickly. Fire engines, police and paramedics
all arrived fifteen minutes ago, and one fireman is
using an axe to break the front door down. A
neighbour said that an elderly man and his wife live in
the house. They are both partially deaf and cannot
hear very well. Their bedroom is on the second floor.
The fire fighters are worried because they cannot see them. The neighbour tried calling
their names when the fire started, but there was no answer. The firemen are not sure
whether the couple are on the first floor of the house or the second floor. The house may
collapse very soon. The police do not want the firemen to get hurt by going into the house.
What should he do? Should he send firemen into the house to look for the couple?

POSSIBLE EVENTS TO SOLVE
In an active Fire Station the most important is to be faster and effective to solve an issue,
in this content you are goint to learn the posible events that have to solved by firefighter
agaist the time most of the time.
For you to begin to meet those issues, here it´s a lyric that you can practice to get fluency.
Play it now:
4 BUSY FIREFIGHTERS
Four busy firefighters could not retire
Because they might have to put out a fire.
The first one rang a big brass bell.
The second one said, 'It's the Grand Hotel!'
The third one said, 'Down the pole we'll slide.'
The fourth one said, 'Get ready to ride.'
The siren said, 'Get out of the way!'
'We have to put out a fire today!'
The red fire truck sped on to the fire,
As the big yellow flames grew higher and higher.
Swish went the water from the fire-hose spout
And in no time at all the fire was out.
SPEAKING: Answer the next questions and share your ideas with your class-
mates:
What do you supposed a Fire Station is for in a city?
What do you think about the events firefighters have to solve as fast as they can?
What can you feel being at the middle of a burning and you’ll the to solve it? NOTE.
Fire stations are located strategically throughout neighborhoods, allowing firefighters to reach the emergency situation within a predetermined amount of time. The fire station acts as storage for fire engines, fire trucks, protective equipment, hoses, and other equip-ment. Many stations also house medic vehicles if the firefighters transport patients. There are a few different uses for the fire station besides storing equipment.
READ. Some of the powers of the Fire Department in our country are:
To coordinate the operations and activities of the Corps in the Salvadoran territory.
Direct and coordinate the operations of the body in case of disaster and disasters of all
kinds and help in other emergency and public calamity.
To promote and implement prevention programs and fire safety.
Promote and implement curricula for technical and scientific training of Fire;
Authorize the organization and functioning Volunteer Fire.
Units and Events that a Fire Department has to solve:
Fire structural unit
Vehicle Rescue Unit
Prehospital care unit
Vertical rescue unit
Canine unit
Unit of hazardous materials
Unit search and rescue in collapsed structures
Unit wildfires
Diving Unit
Control unit Africanized bees
The firefighters has a lot of thing to do, that´s the reason for the burning of several divi-
sions in this fields, in a station these divison are called units, in this case each unit is en-
charge of an inconvenient that has to be solved faster.
Inside of these divisions are very prepared people to make face every emergency that has
to be solved against the time and others disasters. Most of the time every uit work separa-
tely, but the coordination betwen them has to perfect to solve an issue.
Almost in the fire station's garage, you can usually find the firefighter's turnouts hanging
from hooks, with the boots and helmets located above or below them. This allows for easy
access when the alarm sounds. Within the garage the firefighters also inspect and repair
the engines and trucks as necessary, making sure they are always in operable condition.
During down time, the firefighters are responsible for the cleaning and polishing of the
engines and trucks, which also takes place in the garage or driveway. END!

THE AMBULANCE
Prehospital 9-1-1 emergency response
is one of the essential public safety fun-
ctions provided by the fire service in support of community health, security and prosperi-
ty. Fire service-based emergency medical service systems are strategically positioned to
deliver time critical response and effective patient care.
It is pivotal to understand the importance
of having emergency medical services pro-
vided through the fire service. Due to the
training, expertise, and equipment of fire service-based EMS responders, they are capable
of simultaneously securing a scene, mitigating the hazard, and triaging, extricating,
treating, decontaminating (if necessary), and transporting the patients who have been
injured to an appropriate medical facility. Time efficiency is a key component of the secu-
rity system.

FIRE READINESS AND SAFETY
READINESS
There are several things you can do to be ready in case there is ever a fire in your house.
Make sure your parents have at least one smoke detector in your house. It should be placed near the bedrooms. Check your smoke detector once a month to be sure it’s working. Replace the battery once a year.
Make a list of all the ways you can get out of your house. Include windows, but make sure you can open and shut all windows easily. If you live in a two-story house or an apartment, use the stairs. Never plan on using an elevator in a fire. An elevator can get stuck if the fire reaches the electrical wires or motor.
Have regular practice drills. Practice escape routes with your family at least once a month—get everyone in the family to do it. Have a central place to meet once outside.
Memorize the telephone number for the fire department. Be sure to keep the number on your telephone, too! You can probably get a telephone sticker from your fire department.
SAFETY
The most important thing you should know about fire safety is how to escape from a burn-ing building.
Get everyone to leave the house as quickly as possible.
Don’t take anything with you—things can be replaced; people can’t.
Get down on the floor and crawl if there is smoke in your way. The air is better near the floor. If you can, cover your nose and mouth with a wet towel or handker-chief.
Feel the doors before you open them. If a door isn’t warm, open it slowly. If it feels warm, don’t open it! Use a window instead.
Break out a window if you need to use a window for escape and the window is stuck.
Break it out with something like a chair or long hard object, like a baseball bat. Make sure all the jagged edges of the glass are broken out too, so you won’t get cut as you climb out.
Stop, drop, and roll if your clothes catch on fire. That means stop where you are, drop to the ground, and roll back and forth on the ground until you put the fire out. Don’t run!
Call the fire department from your neighbor’s house even if you think someone else has already done.
