English right here right now

3. 5
Dear Apprentices:
Welcome to SENA English Program “SEP”: English right here, right
now. It is a pleasure to have you here as our apprentice. This is
the on-site English program created by SENA English Language
Department whose objective is to provide enough linguistic and
communicative elements for the “NEW ENGLISH APPRENTICES”
to start or continue learning, interacting and communicating by
using a foreign language, in this case English.
This is just a single step in a journey of a thousand miles, but
this could be the most important one. Without further ado, keep
up your enthusiasm and let’s get…
Hands-on!
Sincerely,
The instructors
INTRODUCTION

4. 7
The process of implementing new strategies and materials in
English teaching that meets the expectations and needs of a
specific population was our main concern when we started this
journey of planning and developing a set of activities for our
language learners . We really want to thank the coordinators
and all language instructors at SENA for the insights and
intellectual production that is included in this material. This was
a cooperative process that aims to provide a minimum spectrum
of activities that our apprentices can take advantage of to
improve their English competences.
The best in this language journey,
The editors

a shower and a sink. There is a garden in front of the house. The garden goes
down to a river and there are flowers everywhere. My house is beautiful, but

know what to do.

9. Let’s analyze. Classify the words and expressions according to the
following categories:
Asking and giving opinions
Actions in the past that were interrupted
Talking about plans
TRAIN YOUR BRAIN
We use the Past Continuous to indicate that a longer action in the past was
interrupted. The interruption is usually a shorter action in the Simple Past.
When you use Past Continuous with two actions in the same sentence, it
expresses the idea that both actions were happening at the same time. The
actions are parallel.

Dear Kelly
I am writing to tell you some details about my last vacation. I hope you to
visit this great place on your next holidays.
One of my favorite vacation places is Mexico. I really liked the weather
there because it never gets cold. The people were very nice too. The food
was really good. Mexico City was a very interesting place to visit. It had
some great museums and lots of fascinating old buildings. The hotels were
too expensive to stay but there were more affordable options. For example,
we stayed at one of the beach resorts in Acapulco. If you are planning to
visit Mexico, you definitely have to see the Mayan temples near Merida.
Say hello to your family and friends.
Sincerely yours
Carlos.
12. Luisa wants to go on vacation. She asked Carlos about some destination

TRAIN YOUR BRAIN
Simple past and past continuous
We often use the past continuous tense with the simple past tense. We use
the past continuous tense to express a long action. And we use the simple
past tense to express a short action that happens in the middle of the long
action. We can join the two ideas with when or while.
In the following example, we have two actions:
Long action (cooking), expressed with past continuous tense
Short action (telephoned), expressed with simple past tense
PAST TENSE
I was cooking dinner When You called at 8pm.
____________________ 8pm _________________
Long action Short action.
We can join these two actions with “when”:
I was cooking dinner when you called. We use:
when + short action (simple past tense)
while + long action (past continuous tense)
