THE EXAM
It was exam week, and three university students were out drinking and partying at a
club until the sun came up the next day.
The boys had an important exam that morning, worth 70% of their overall grade, but since
they were out all night, they didn’t have time to study for it.
So, the boys went to the principal’s office with an elaborate story about how they found an old
woman on the side of the street who was severely beaten and robbed at gunpoint.
Stories 11
They said they took the woman to her house to calm her down, called the police and spent the
night answering a series of questions from the officers and didn’t get home until late. They
told the principal they weren’t able to study and requested an extension to take the test at a
later date.
The principal listened to their story and gave them a two-day extension.
On day two, the students went to the principal’s office to get their exam but were caught off
guard when he told them that the school had prepared a special exam, different from the
other students and that they would have to be seated in separate rooms to take the test.
The students agreed to the unique conditions as they all studied hard and felt prepared.
Once they were seated at their desks, they turned over the paper which read:
1 ) Your name: (1%)

2 ) Name of the old lady: (99%)
Take responsibility for your actions.

DIRTY DONKEY
A donkey and his master were walking along a muddy trail when all of a sudden, the
donkey fell into a ditch.
The master tried to pull him out, but it was impossible. The ditch was too deep, and the
donkey was too heavy.
Stories 15
“Oh, how terrible!” – he cried
After hours of trying to get the donkey out of the ditch, the master gave up.
“It’s no use. I’ll just have to bury him and end his suffering.”
So, the man got a shovel and started throwing dirt over the donkey.
But, every time the donkey got covered in dirt, he would shake it off onto the ground and use
it to take a step up.
The more the master threw the dirt onto the donkey, the shallower the ditch got. Eventually,
the donkey was able to climb out on his own.

THE BOULDER
Once upon a time, there was a king who wanted to test the hearts of his people, so he
came up with a plan. He put a boulder in the middle of the main road and hid behind
a tree to see if anyone would move the rock.
Most people just walked around the boulder. Some complained, and blamed the king for not
putting the tax payer’s money to good use, but no one attempted to move the rock out of the way.
18 STORY
Just when the king thought that none of his people had a proper sense of belonging for their
town, a young boy walked by.
“Someone is going to get hurt with this big boulder here in the middle of the road.” he said. And
instead of just walking around it as everyone else had done, he put down his bag and started
to push it out of the way.
The boulder was large and heavy, so it wasn’t easy to move, but the boy persisted.
After thirty minutes of pushing and pulling, the boy finally removed the boulder from the road.
When he went to retrieve his bag, he saw a pouch of silver coins where the rock had been, and a
note that read; “This gift is for the considerate man who puts others before himself.”
Some people complain while others take action.

Don’t complain about things you’re not willing to change.

5 FIST FULL OF CANDY
A little boy was at the store with his mother when they passed by the candy section.
There were rows of jars full of gumdrops, sour balls, lollipops, gummies, licorice, and
candy sticks. Every sweet you could imagine was on display. It was a dream come true
for any child.
The little boys’ eyes grew bigger with every step down the candy aisle.
So, the mother gave him permission to reach into one of the jars and take some candy.
Overwhelmed with excitement, the boy ran to the jar of gumdrops and put his hand in. He dug
deep into the jar and filled his fist with as many gumdrops as possible. But, when he tried to
remove his hand, his fist was so full that it couldn’t fit out of the jar and he wouldn’t release
his grip for fear that he would lose a candy.
24 STORY
The mother waited a while to see how her son would get himself out of the predicament, but
he just stood there crying with his fist full of candy stuck in the jar.
The mother knelt down, and said to the boy, “You have two choices son, you can either keep all
the candies in your hand and never be able to enjoy them, or release some candy, and be content
with what you have.”
Greed will get you nowhere.

6 THE GREAT IDEA
A family of mice organized an emergency meeting to try and find a solution about a
problem with their number one enemy, the cat.
The problem was that the mice couldn’t enter the kitchen safely without the risk of the cat
catching them.
Many ideas were tossed around, but none of them were practical strategies to solve the issue.
One mouse suggested they poison the cat’s milk, but the mice couldn’t risk handling toxic
substances as they were very sensitive to poison.
Another mouse recommended they find a dog to live in the house so that the cat would stay
outside. But dogs eat leftovers, and the mice would be in risk of starvation.
Stories 27
A third mouse stood up proudly and shouted, “I’ve got it! We could put a bell around the cat’s
neck, so we could hear it coming. This way at least we will have time to scurry away before he
catches us.”
“What a great idea!” Hollered the elder mouse. “Now who will put the bell on the cat’s neck?”
“Once you have a good idea, you need a good plan to take action.” – Unknown

THE STONE BOYS
On a sunny afternoon, a couple of boys were playing by a small pond when they
noticed a bunch of frogs jumping from one lily pad to another.
These frogs were special. They ranged in color from bright yellow to neon orange and
turquoise blue.
Just for fun, the boys started throwing small stones on the lily pads and watched the colorful
frogs jumping like crazy, in fear of being hit.
The small stones weren’t making much of a splash, so they found larger rocks and started
throwing them directly at the frogs.
The frogs were terrified and swam down under the water for cover, but the heavy rocks cut
through the water like meteors through the atmosphere.
The boys were laughing and having a great time watching the frogs jump in terror.
30 STORY
Finally, a black bullfrog poked his head out of the water and shouted, “STOP throwing rocks!
Although this may seem fun to you, it means certain death to us frogs.”
The boys were terrified and ran away from the talking frog never to return to that pond again.

EVEN STEVEN
There once lived a baker named Arthur who would buy his butter every week from a
farmer named Steven. His order was always the same. One pound of butter for two dollars.
One day, Arthur decided to weigh the butter to make sure he wasn’t getting ripped off. And to
his surprise, he saw that he wasn’t receiving a complete pound.
The angry baker took his case to court and explained to the judge that Steven had been
cheating him for years and he wanted to be recompensated.
Stories 33
Steven explained to the judge that long before Arthur started buying butter from him, he had
been buying a pound of sugar from Arthur. And since he didn’t have measuring cups, he would
just measure the sugar with his scale and give Arthur that same amount in butter.

THREE TREE CUTTERS
Three tree cutters were out in the forest, chopping down old oak trees.
The men all wore earplugs, to drown out the loud sound of the chainsaw.
They had been out in the forest for hours when suddenly a Grizzly bear appeared out of nowhere.
Two of the men were a safe distance from the bear, and they quickly climbed the nearest tree.
The third man was within arm’s reach of the bear. Realizing that he surely will be attacked, he
fell flat on the ground and played dead.
36 STORY
The bear approached the man, nudged him with his snout and smelled all around his neck
and head.
Terrified, the man tried as best as he could to hold his breath and stay completely still. He
knew that the bear wouldn’t touch a dead carcass and if he could trick the bear, he would live
to see another day.
After what seemed like an eternity, the bear just walked away and disappeared into the forest.
When he was gone, the two other tree cutters descended from the tree, and asked the man,
what the bear whispered in his ear.
“He gave me this advice,” he replied. “Never walk with a friend who deserts you in the moment
of danger.”
“Misfortune tests the sincerity of friends.” – Unknown

DON´T BE A CHICKEN
One day, a farmer’s daughter was playing outside when she stumbled upon a bird’s
egg that had fallen out of a tree.
The little girl knew that if she touched the egg, the mother bird wouldn’t allow it back into her
nest with the other eggs, so she decided to bring it to her farm until it hatched.
When she got home, her mother told her to put the egg in the chicken coop with the other
eggs so that it could stay warm and safe from predators.
As the weeks went on, the egg remained in the coop until one day, it hatched, and out popped
a baby eagle!
40 STORY
The chickens seemed confused at the sight of the new addition to the coop, but eventually,
they accepted him as one of their own.
As the years passed, the eagle grew bigger and stronger than the others. However, he continued
to follow those around him even though he felt different and had an innate instinct to do
things differently.
One day, the eagle was scratching around in the dirt with the other chickens when he looked
up and saw a bird soaring overhead.
He asked his friend, “What’s that magnificent creature up in the clouds?”
“Oh, that’s an Eagle. They’re the birds of the sky. But don’t get too excited. We are birds of the land.
Chickens aren’t meant to soar like the eagles.” Replied the chicken.
The eagle never looked up into the sky again and lived the rest of his life on the ground with
the other chickens never knowing how high he could actually fly.
Don’t let someone else tell you that you can’t do something.
Believe in yourself and reach for the sky.

11 A FROG´S REVENGE
A mouse and a frog were seemingly the best of friends. Every afternoon, the frog
would leave his pond and visit the mouse’s house which was located across the field.
Some days the journey was more challenging than others because the frog had to overcome
certain obstacles to make it there safely.
When the weather was hot and sunny, the frog faced the risk of drying up under the sun. If
an eagle saw him out in the open field, he would surely become the eagle’s lunch. When the
ground was moist, the snakes were able to slither quicker than usual.
Regardless of all the dangers, the frog made the journey across the field every day to visit
his friend.
44 STORY
As time passed by, the frog became irritated because the mouse never made any attempts to
visit him at the pond.
The mouse never knew his friend was bothered by this. So, it continued… And the feelings of
resentment grew stronger every day.
One day, the frog had enough. He tied one end of a string to his leg and the other end to the
mouse’s tail and hopped across the field and into the pond. He dove down to the bottom
and stayed there as his friend struggled to free himself. The mouse was unsuccessful in his
attempts, so he drowned, and his lifeless body floated up to the top of the pond.
Satisfied with his act of revenge, the frog began to untie the string from his leg, but before he
could finish, an eagle flew overhead and spotted the mouse floating on the surface of the pond.
The eagle quickly swooped down, grabbed the mouse and flew to a nearby tree to enjoy his
lunch. When he reached the tree, he noticed the frog dangling from the other end of the string.
Needless to say, the eagle had a very big lunch that day.
“Don’t dig your enemies ditch too deep because you may fall into it yourself.”

12 MICE-CREAM
One hot summer day, four mice ran into an ice cream parlor to get out of the blazing sun.
The smell of chocolate, vanilla and strawberry filled their noses as they entered the
parlor and they immediately started looking for a tasty treat.
The mice scurried all over until they spotted a large, brown barrel that had a thick, white liquid
oozing from the rim, and it smelled delicious! They decided to climb up the side of the barrel
to see if they could get a taste. When they reached the top, they looked down and saw the
creamiest milk they had ever seen. Without any hesitation, the four mice dipped their heads
into the barrel and started drinking.
48 STORY
Just as their bellies were about to burst, there was a sudden BANG! One of the machines turned
on and startled the mice. Three of the mice fell directly into the barrel while one managed to
hang on to the side.
As the three mice struggled to stay afloat, they cried out for help.
“Helpppp! Someone, please help us!”
“Keep swimming. Don’t give up.” Yelled the mouse from the top of the barrel.
“Why don’t you help us? We can’t go on for much longer!” – cried the mice.
“Stay calm brothers. We will get out of here.” – said one of mice, who was also treading in the
barrel of milk.
But it was too late. One mouse had already given up and drowned.
The other two mice kept treading to stay afloat when suddenly they noticed the milk started
to thicken and cream started to form. The thick cream made it easier for the mice to remain
at the surface.
“Keep going guys! The thicker the cream gets, the higher it rises!” – Yelled the mouse from above.
After what seemed like a lifetime, the milk had been churned so much that it turned to butter,
and they were able to jump out of the barrel on their own.

13 THE WOLF´S EXCUSE
A young fawn was drinking water off the side of a riverbed unaware of the danger
he was in.
A mean, old, hungry wolf was upstream and could see the fawn down below. He saw how
helpless and innocent the fawn was and knew it would be an easy catch. But something was
telling the wolf that this meal was too easy and so he should find an excuse to take its life.
“Fawn!” the wolf yelled. “You’re stirring up all the dirt in the stream and making my drinking water
all muddy.”
“Please don’t be angry with me,” replied the young fawn. “I couldn’t possibly be making your
water muddy. I am downstream, and the water flows my way. Maybe it’s the fish.”
“It’s not the fish!” Shouted the wolf. “Are you calling me stupid?”
“Oh no! I would never do such a thing.” Pleaded the fawn.
“Well someone told me you were calling me names last year,” replied the wolf. “So, for that, I
must eat you.”
52 STORY
“But Mr. Wolf, it couldn’t have been me. I was just born this year.”
“Then it was your brother!” the wolf argued.
“But I don’t have any brothers,” replied the fawn.
Losing patience, the wolf replied, “Then it was someone else from your family!”
And with that, the wolf leaped onto the fawn and carried him off into the woods.

14 GIVE A MAN A FISH
Once upon a time, there was an old man who worked at the beach cleaning fishing
equipment. Everyday he would wake up bright and early to clean the nets and sharpen
the hooks for the fishermen, receiving two fish per day as payment.
One morning, a 9.2 magnitude earthquake shook him awake. He jumped out of bed, ran outside
in his underwear and saw people running and screaming. They were all running in the same
direction which he found strange until he noticed the wave.
Stories 55
The earthquake had triggered a tsunami.
As the wave came inland, it swept away homes, cars, trees and sadly everyone who was in its
path. By the end of the day, homes were destroyed, crops were ruined, and many people were
trapped under the rubble. There was no running water or electricity and food was scarce.
Fortunately, the man survived the massive wave, but he found himself in another predicament.
There were no more fishermen. No fishermen meant no fish. No fish meant no food.

BUTTERFLY WINGS
A little girl was outside playing when she found a butterfly cocoon laying on the
ground. She picked it up and placed it in a glass dish. She knew that it was in the
process of undergoing an extraordinary transformation, so she left it alone and just
watched it over the next few days.
One morning, she noticed some movement in the cocoon and it was obvious that the butterfly
was trying to get out.
A small opening appeared, and the butterfly continued to push its way through.
The little girl watched anxiously for hours as the butterfly struggled to squeeze out of that
hole until suddenly it stopped moving.
Did it die? Was it stuck? She thought to herself.
She waited another five minutes before she reached into the dish and carefully ripped opened
the cocoon herself.
58 STORY
The butterfly emerged and spread its wrinkled wings as if it were stretching.
The girl expected the butterfly to fly away, but it didn’t. It lived its life in that dish, crawling
around with these tiny wrinkled wings unable to fly.
The little girl didn’t understand that the butterfly’s wings needed to go through the struggling
process to emerge from the cocoon, so it could gain the strength to fly on its own.

A Day in the Life of Liz
Elizabeth is a young woman from Canada. She is twenty-two years old and lives at home
with her parents in a big, five-bedroom home located in the heart of Montreal.
Her full name is Elizabeth Rose Dubois, but her friends call her Liz. She has two older
sisters who are both dentists, and a younger brother who is an avid gamer.
She works part-time and studies at night. She is studying to become a lawyer so she can
help low-income individuals who are in need of legal assistance such as the elderly, single
parents, children, and victims of domestic abuse.
She has a dog named Bentley and two Siamese cats. One named Max and the other
named Ruby.
Liz always wakes up at five o’clock in the morning to meditate. After an hour of meditation,
she works out, takes a shower, then gets dressed for the day. She usually prepares a
healthy breakfast of egg whites, fruit and a cup of warm water with lemon and ginger.
Liz works part-time at a coffee shop on the corner of Dundas St. and Greenway. She has
been working there for two years and is due for a raise soon.
Liz’s father normally takes her to work, but this day he couldn’t because his car was in the
repair shop. So, Liz decided to take the bus. She waited at the bus stop for twenty minutes
and when the bus finally arrived, she couldn’t get on because it was packed. After another
twenty minutes of waiting, she gave up and got into a taxi.
Once she got to work, she realized she forgot her keys. Liz was so upset because she
wanted to open up the coffee shop on time. She had to come up with a solution fast, so
she called up her boss to tell her about the situation. Her boss told her to calm down and
said that the only way she could get in, was if she broke in through the back window. Liz
looked for a rock, smashed open the window and carefully climbed in.
As soon as Liz got into the coffee shop, she put on her uniform, and immediately started
cleaning up. She emptied out the dishwasher, put away the mugs and cleaned off all the
tables. She turned on the coffee machine and filled it up with water. Then she ground the
coffee beans so the customers would have a nice, freshly ground cup of Joe.
After four hours of work, Liz had finished her shift. It was one o’clock and Liz was feeling
hungry, so she went home to have lunch. After lunch, she took the dog out for a walk. As
she was walking, she saw her friend Beth sitting on the grass in the park, so she went over
to say hello. She sat down beside Beth and the two girls hung out for a bit and caught up
on life as they watched their dogs play with one another.
106 WORK
After about 20 minutes, Liz decided it was time to leave because she had a virtual class at
eight o’clock. She said goodbye to Beth and went home. Once Liz got home, she pulled
out her laptop and started getting ready for her class. She studied for an hour, then went
to bed, only to wake up and do it all over again the next day.

SINGULAR / PLURAL NOUNS
Usamos los sustantivos SINGULARES para nombrar una sola cosa, persona, lugar
o idea.
Usamos los sustantivos PLURALES para nombrar mas de una cosa, persona, lugar
o idea.
Para convertir un sustantivo singular en plural, la mayoría de veces solo es necesario

añadir una “S” al final de la palabra.
Normalmente, los sustantivos plurales van acompañados de la palabra “SOME” en la
oracion. Como lo muestra el siguiente ejemplo:
Guide 175
Si el sustantivo termina s, x, z, ch, sh, formamos el plural añadiendo “es”
Si el sustantivo termina en consonante + y, debemos quitar la “y” y añadir “ies”

para formar el plural

Los adjetivos son cualidades que usamos para describir un objeto, persona o lugar.

22.1 ORDER OF ADJECTIVES
Regularmente los adjetivos se ubican antes del sustantivo que están describiendo.
The big house – The tall man – The American actor – The beautiful lady.
En algunas ocasiones los adjetivos pueden ir después del verbo to be. (is-are)
The house is big – He is tall – The actor is American – The lady is beautiful.
En algunas ocasiones vamos a tener que usar mas de un adjetivo para describir algo.
Será lo mismo decir: I like my new, red dress o I like my red, new dress?
Si vamos a usar mas de un adjetivo en una oración, debemos seguir un order

específico.

JOB INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
1. TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF.

This is an opportunity to mention any important aspects about yourself. Professional
achievements, schooling, travels, qualities, skills etc. Don’t overdo it. Keep it short,
simple and interesting. Don’t get too personal.
2. WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST WEAKNESS?

Turn a weakness into a strength but don’t be so obvious. A good interviewer knows
when you’re being honest. Just make sure the weakness you choose is one you’re
working to improve and it’s not one that could interfere negatively with the job you’re
applying for.
“Sometimes I’m a bit of a perfectionist so an assignment could take slightly longer

to finish, but the end result would be perfect.”
3. ARE YOU A TEAM PLAYER? DO YOU ENJOY WORKING WITH

OTHERS?
The answer should be positive. Provide an example of a time where you demonstrated
team work.
“I was a coordinator at the company I worked at last, and reception was right
outside my office. There was only one receptionist and she would get very busy
during peak hours.
Activities 277
So, I learned how to program users and would help her when I saw that she
needed the extra hand. The users were very thankful, and my leadership grew
with the receptionist as a result.”
4. WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST STRENGTH?

List your best qualities that apply to the position.
“I’m an excellent problem solver. It’s common for people to come to me for advice
when there’s a problem. Last year my boss lost a very important invoice in her
office. She had been looking for it all day. I tracked the invoice to the accountant
who had been auditing and saved the company almost $20.000 dollars.”
5. WHAT ARE YOUR LONG-TERM GOALS? WHERE DO YOU SEE

YOURSELF IN 5 YEARS?
Mention goals of growing in the company and learning from your superiors. The
job you’re applying for should be seen as a stepping stone to achieve your goal. The
interviewer is looking for someone who is motivated and has aspirations.
“At the moment I’m looking for experience in this field, so I can ultimately gain a
position with more management responsibilities.”
