LAST SUMMER VACATION HOLIDAYS
INSTRUCTIONS: Read the following text to answer the questions below

I´m The Teacher George, I´m going to talk about the last summer vacation holidays.
I went with my best friend to the beach. We went by plane. It was very expensive but
very nice too. We live in Saltillo and we are Mexicans but we know English to practice
there, that was our intention.
We saw the most interesting places in Cancun like Xcaret park, Maya Museum,
women islands, Tulum ruins, and you can do different activities like swim in Cenotes,
reefs, tours, and enjoy different typical dishes of the region. There are a lot of
wonderful places and activities to practice the English language with people of
different countries and nationalities.
We were there for a week. It was fantastic, funny and incredible, because we knew
people from Canada and USA and we learned the different pronunciations when we
talked with them.
My friend liked to walk on the beach in the mornings to look at the sunrise, then he
was going to win in the pool because I woke up very late. Every day we did different
activities, we ate in different restaurants inside the same hotel. We only liked to
speak English but we met people who wanted to speak and learned Spanish so we
liked to teach them.
Finally, we were buying souvenirs for the family when we returned home. It was an
experience to enjoy with my family on the next vacation.

Hassan Emilio Kabande Laija was born on June 15th 1999, in the municipality of
Zapopan, Jalisco, Mexico. The relatives of his mother were residents of Sinaloa.
Both parents were born in Mexico; his father has Lebanese ancestry and was born
in Chiapas. Growing up in Guadalajara, he began playing the guitar at age 15 by
watching videos on YouTube. Pluma started writing songs in a diary, admitting to
being ridiculed by peers. Describing his initial approach to songwriting, he explained
how writing became his therapy: "That’s where I’d write how I was feeling, then I
realized some stuff would rhyme. I kept practicing and became better with time."

2. Read and listen to the following informational text and answer the
provided questions about it.
The Quetzalcoatl Ballet from CBTis 36.
The history of the Quetzalcoatl Ballet was achieved through persistence, because
although few know its history, its artistic director, Professor Ubaldo Barrera Riojas,
was initially rejected by the directors of CBTis 36, when he requested to group the
students to form a Folk dance class.
“It was the month of October and some restless boys agreed to form a dance group.
I had applied for a job at CBTis a long time ago and they told me no, that they needed
a chemistry or physics teacher, except for dance. I left with my head bowed."
“Some time passed and the boys spoke to me, they asked me to form a dance group
and in 1986 the Quetzalcoatl folkloric ballet was born,” said the creator of the
renowned dance group, which has received international awards for its excellent
choreography, costumes and authenticity.
"At first it didn't have a name, it was just called the CBTis 36 dance group, so on one
occasion, when we had to introduce ourselves, they told me, teacher, give it a quick
name, we need it to be called something, and I told them, give it Quetzalcoatl.”
“I believe that the sun shines and warms so that the land bears fruit, so I chose
Quetzalcoatl, until later I knew who he was and I do not regret having chosen the
man, because Quetzalcoatl is duality, he is life, he is death, he is light and he is
shadow, it's black and white"
For the artistic director, the most important achievement in all his 38 years of
experience is having polished the boys who have been part of this group.
“It's as if they gave you a rough diamond and you start polishing it, giving it shine,
giving it all the necessary cuts,” he commented.
There are hundreds of CBTis 36 students who have been part of the Quetzalcoatl
Folkloric Ballet, regularly there are 100 high school students who enter dance each
school year.
The good performance of the young people, combined with the excellent direction of
Professor Ubaldo, has achieved first places at the national level.

Mom packed a picnic basket with sandwiches, fruit, and cookies. The sandwiches
were as delicious as mom's homemade meals, and the cookies were as sweet as
grandma's hugs.
Dad spread a blanket on the grass, creating a cozy place. The blanket was as soft
as a teddy bear, making it the perfect place to relax.
The children, Tim and Lily, played on the playground. The swings were as high as
the sky, and the slide was as fast as a racecar. After playing, the family ate lunch.
The sandwiches were as popular as pizza at a party. After eating, they went for a

1. Read the following text and listen to the audio.
In this community, you can visit the Madero Museum, a cultural and historical venue
where the manuscripts of the book "La Sucesión Presidencial" in 1910 are preserved
and exhibited. We also recommend visiting "La Casa de la Cultura", where Madero
lived and wrote "La Sucesión Presidencial", and the Temple of San Pedro Apóstol,
built in the 19th century, with its simple two-body facade and two magnificent towers
on the sides. Another attraction worth visiting are the Tacubaya Dunes. These are
spectacular sand formations in the midst of the desert environment of the area. In
this vast and impressive site, you can take walks, enjoy the sunsets, and for those
who enjoy extreme sports, you can try sandboarding, which is the practice of sliding
through the sand on a board, as if you were surfing.

Tomorrow, Sarah and her friends will go to the park for a fun day outdoors.
They will bring snacks, games, and a big blanket. The weather will be sunny,
so they will have a picnic under the tall trees. Sarah will play on the swings,
and her friend Max will climb on the jungle gym.
They will also bring a frisbee and play together on the open field. Sarah's dog,
Buddy, will join them too. He will run around happily, chasing the frisbee and
making everyone laugh.
After playing, they will take a walk around the pond. They will see ducks
swimming and maybe even some turtles on the rocks. Sarah will take pictures
with her camera to remember the day.
At the end of the day, they will sit on the grass and watch the sunset. It will be
a perfect day at the park with friends and lots of laughter.
