TO OUR STUDENTS
The Ministry of Education aims at providing Ecuador’s students with

both the foreign language knowledge and the skills needed to succeed
in today’s globalized world as English is the international language
that will allow them to access knowledge and information and that will
become an instrument of personal and professional empowerment to
build a more prosperous, equitable society.
For the first time, the Ministry of Education will provide free English
textbooks to students. This will contribute to the learning process in a
positive manner, for every student will have an additional resource to
aid them in their language acquisition process.
These textbooks as well as the teaching-learning approach adopted

are guided by the Common European Framework of Reference for
Languages: Learning, Teaching, Assessment, which is an internationally
recognized standard for the explicit description of educational
objectives, content elaboration, and methods as well as a basis for
the reflection on current educational practices.
Since the communicative language approach will shape the teaching

and learning practices in Ecuadorian classrooms, both teachers and
learners are enthusiastically invited to make use of the
English language for meaningful communication
and as a tool to open windows to the world,
unlock doors to opportunities, and expand
their minds to the understanding of new
ideas and other cultures.

Daniel Radcliffe plays Harry Potter. Dan lives in London, England,
and has two dogs, Binka and Nugget. Dan loves music. In fact, he
plays the bass guitar. He’s into classic punk and rock. Some of
his favorite musicians are David Bowie, the Rolling Stones, and
the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In his leisure time, Dan writes stories
and goes to the movies. His favorite movies include Moulin Rouge
and Crash. For exercise, Dan runs and works out. His favorite
sport is soccer. There’s a rumor that Emma Watson is Dan’s

Emma Watson plays Hermione Granger. When she’s not at

boarding school or making movies, Emma lives with her mother
and younger brother. They call her “Em” for short. Em and her
brother have two cats, Bubbles and Domino. In her leisure time,
she plays hockey, tennis, and rounders—a British game similar
to baseball. Em also spends a lot of time listening to music,
especially pop. Her favorite singers include Alanis Morissette,
Shakira, and Suzanne Vega. She also likes watching movies, and
her favorite actor is Brad Pitt. She thinks he’s gorgeous.

My country, Australia, is the only country that’s a continent.

It’s in the Southern Hemisphere. It’s a beautiful country with
many things to see and do.
Most Australians live in towns and cities near the ocean.
Sydney is the largest city in Australia. It’s on the east coast,
and it’s almost always sunny and warm. Sydney Harbor is
beautiful.
The Great Barrier Reef is also on the east coast. It’s the
largest reef in the world. You can see lots of cool fish. But watch
out for the sharks!
The middle of the country, the Outback, is hot and dry. Not
many people live there. But there are some cool places to see.
Many people visit the Outback to see Uluru, a huge rock in the
desert. It’s 345 meters tall and 3 kilometers wide!
Australia has lots of unusual animals. One animal we’re
famous for is the kangaroo. There are over 40 different kinds of
kangaroos. Kangaroos hop very quickly on their strong legs, and
they carry their babies in a pouch.
Another unusual animal we have is the Tasmanian Devil. It lives
in Tasmania, an island that’s part of Australia. The Tasmanian
Devil has very sharp teeth and a strange, loud scream. It hunts
at night, and eats almost any animal it can find.

Japan
As in many other countries, Japanese kids eat cake
and open presents on their birthdays. And for young
children, there is a special celebration in February
called the “3-5-7 Festival.” This is for boys aged 3 and
5, and girls aged 3 and 7. Children wear traditional
clothes on this day. They eat special sweets called
“thousand-year candies” so they will live a long life.
The twentieth birthday is also important in Japan. This
is when Japanese teenagers become adults. Each
city has a special event for all 20-year-olds in January.
A Mexico
At birthday parties in Mexico, kids break piñatas.
Piñatas are made of paper and have candy and fruit
inside. The birthday boy or girl puts on a blindfold and
tries to hit the piñata with a stick. When the piñata
breaks, the other kids run to pick up the candy.
On their fifteenth birthday, Mexican girls are called
“Quinceañeras.” They have a big, expensive party
with dinner, music, and dancing. The birthday girl
wears a beautiful dress and jewelry. She dances first
with different young men, then with her father and
other relatives.
C
Vietnam
In Vietnam, everybody celebrates his or her birthday
on the same day—New Year’s Day. It doesn’t
matter what day you were born. On New Year’s
Day, everyone is one year older. Everyone wears
new clothes, and there are fireworks and parades.
Young people get red envelopes from their parents
and other adults. Inside the envelopes is “lucky
money.” At the end of the day, young people open
the envelopes and count their money!
