ESPEctrum is an initiative of the Language Institute of the University of the Armed Forces (ESPE), whose

main objective is to strengthen the English language proficiency of our university community, our
students at all levels, and the rest of Radio ESPE's audience by providing practical and effective tools to
improve their language skills.

The program is divided into four segments:

The first two are useful for ALL LEVEL STUDENTS
• Master Your Language – to strengthen our students’ language skills.
• Learn English Through Songs – This segment helps our students learn pronunciation and new
vocabulary words through examples.
The last two are useful for INTERMEDIATE and ADVANCED LEVEL STUDENTS
• Culture & Technology – where we explore different topics useful for international exams like PET and
FCE.
• Interviews – Here we interview special guests and language experts, both national and international.

ESPEctrum radio program 1

PART 1: MASTER YOUR LANGUAGE
There are words that have more than one meaning, some meanings are related, for example: Kiss =
beso/besar while others are completely different, for example: Fly

EXERCISE 1: Look at the following pictures and guess the different meanings of “FLY”: Translate the sentences

1 3

1. to fly in a plane

2. fly on the plate

3. it refers to the zipper

How do you say “BESAme/BESEnme “and “NO me BESES/No me BESEN” in English?

KISS ME/ KISS ME Don’t KISS ME/ Don’t KISS ME
Here, we are learning English through the use of IMPERATIVES. You just have to follow the structure and
add extra information, if necessary, to form a more complex sentence. Imperatives are use to give an
order to one or more people, the structure is the same but the meaning changes in Spanish, take that
into account.

Examples: IMPERATIVES
AFFIRMATIVE NEGATIVE
Verb + Complement Don’t + Verb + Complement
CALL me at seven Don’t CALL ME today
Llámame a las 7 No me llames hoy.
Llámenme a las 7 No me llamen hoy.

Words with two or more meanings

BOOK = Libro/Reservar Book ME a table = Reserveme/Reservenme una mesa
PLEASE = Por favor/Complacer Please, please ME = Por favor,
complaceme/complascanme FIRE = Fuego/Despedir Fire ME = Despidame/Despidanme
FINE = Bien/multa/multar Don’t fine ME, please = No me multe/multen
STAND UP= Ponerse de pie Don’t stand US up = No nos deje/nos dejen plantado
/levantarse
/dejar plantado

EXERCISE 2: TRANSLATE THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES

4. c o m o l e e r u n l i b r o a l d i a

5. C o m o r e s e r v a r v u e l o s b a r a t o s

6. D i o s p o r f a v o r a y ú d a m e c o n e s t e d o l o r

7. E s t o m e a g r a d a

12. N o l e v a n t a r s e c u a n d o e l v e h i c u l o e s t e e n m o v i m i e n t o

13. Por favor no me dejes plantado

NOTES:
Separable verbs work in 3 different ways, for example, if you want to say: “Recoge a Maria en el
aeropuerto, we would have the following options:
1.- Pick up MARIA at the airport.
2.- Pick MARIA up at the airport.
But if I replace Maria for its object pronoun, the only option
is: 3.-Pick HER up at the airport.
Typical mistake: Pick up HER

14. M o m , c a n y o u p i c k u p m e ? I ` m s c a r e d

“Stand SOMEONE up” is kind of similar to the idiom “BAIL ON someone” it refers to the act of suddenly
abandoning or leaving someone in a situation where they depended on your presence or participation.

PART 3: INTERVIEW
In this part, we interview different people and ask them different questions related to interesting topics
to draw our listeners’ attention.
In our first program we had Catherine Glennon as our special guest. She is an English language trainer
and nowadays she lives in the U.K.
TOPIC: Your life in Ecuador compare to your life in THE UK.

QUESTION 1
Dear. Cath, we know you've lived in both Ecuador and the United Kingdom. What cultural
differences have you encountered between the two countries that have had the greatest impact on
you personally and professionally?

FOR YOU
Are there any differences between living on the coast and living in the inter-Andean region?
Explain your answer.
The most representative difference is the climate and the culture of the
people.
QUESTION 2
In terms of your adjustment, what was the transition like from living in Ecuador to moving to the
UK? Were there any specific challenges you had to overcome when adapting to such a different
lifestyle?

FOR YOU
What would your life be if you were to live in an English-speaking country?
It would be very different since the most feasible way to learn another language is
by practicing, so it would be easier to speak English.

QUESTION 3
What aspects of life in Ecuador do you miss most since living in the UK, and what elements of
British life have you come to value most deeply?

FOR YOU
What would you miss most about Ecuador if you were living in a different country?
What I would miss the most about my country would be the food and the culture.

TOPIC: SMART DEVICES AND THEIR IMPACT

Have you ever wondered how smart devices are changing our lives? Smartphones and virtual
assistants have transformed the way we interact with the world. Thanks to devices like Alexa, Siri,
and Google Assistant, which help us with our daily tasks, we can have more time for ourselves.
Through smartphones, we can control our home, our shopping, and much more from the palm
of our hand. For example, right now, a large part of our audience tunes to Radio ESPE via their
smartphones, using the ESPE Media app.

Our next question: How do you use these devices in your daily life? We must take into account
that these changes have also affected the way we work, learn, and communicate. Technology is
more prevalent than ever.
Before continuing, I want you to reflect on the following question: What smart device can't be
missing from your daily routine?
Regarding this topic, I want to tell you that when we take an international exam like the
Cambridge exam, among others, questions on cultural and technological topics are included;
and that is one of the reasons why we address this topic at ESPEctrum. This means we need to
enrich our core and technical vocabulary.

PART 2: CULTURE AND TECHNOLOGY

Today we'll explore how social media is transforming our cultural identity and how it connects
us in a digital world. Social media has radically changed the way we connect, communicate, and,
above all, how we see ourselves and others. "Social media is the new mirror." And this mirror
sometimes reflects more than just our image. It also reflects who we are, what we value, and, in
many cases, who we want to be.

FOR YOU

“Is what we show online the real us?”

Social media not only allows us to connect with friends and family, but also with cultures around
the world. We have the power to share our traditions, language, and values like never before.
However, there is also pressure to present an idealized version of ourselves. “We see others, we
like it, we copy it.” But in doing so, are we losing ourselves?
FOR YOU

Are we creating a digital identity that doesn't reflect our true essence?

“Are we staying true to ourselves or just trying to fit in?”

It is true that networks can be a powerful tool for connectivity “Social media brings us together
like never before.” But we must also be careful. “Don’t get lost in the noise.” The noise of viral
content, trends, and the pressure to follow others. The key is finding balance and remembering
that, in the end, we are the ones who decide what to show. “How can we embrace the digital
world without losing ourselves?” “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” Social media
shouldn't change who you are, it should amplify who you already are.

And this leads us to an important reflection: culture is something we should protect and
celebrate. Using social media to showcase our cultural identity, our customs, and our roots is one
way to preserve it. “Don’t just follow, lead.”

By sharing what makes us unique, we not only connect with the world, but we also inspire others
to do the same. Remember, no matter what you see on social media: “You don’t need to change
who you are to fit in.” If you stay true to yourself, your authenticity will be what attracts the right
people.

Let’s finish this by summing up the main points checked through this topic:

 “Is what we show online the real us?”

 “Keeping it real.”
 “Social media brings us together like never before.”
 “How can we embrace the digital world without losing ourselves?”
 “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
 “Don’t just follow, lead.”
 “You don’t need to change who you are to fit in.”

PART 4: INTERVIEW
In our fourth program we interviewed Christian Vasquez
TOPIC: “El barismo”

QUESTION ONE
Today we have the honor of speaking with Christian Vásquez, Regional Key Account Manager
at Cambridge University Press Ecuador, who will talk to us about a passion that awakens not
only the senses but also creativity. We're talking about “Barismo” To begin, tell us, what is
“barismo”?

FOR YOU
Do you drink coffee every day?

QUESTION TWO
So “barismo” isn't just a technical skill, but a true art form. How would you describe what being
a barista means to you, beyond just making coffee?

FOR YOU
What coffee brand do you like buying?
QUESTION THREE
We know that people are often drawn to coffee and its preparation methods, but they don't
always know how to get started. If someone is interested in BARISMO as a hobby or passion,
what advice would you give them to get started in this fascinating world?
FOR YOU
When you buy a coffee, what kind of coffee do you always ask for? Latte? Capuchino? Americano?

QUESTION FOUR
We know that “a barista” connects deeply with each cup of coffee. How do you feel when you're
preparing a drink for someone? Is it a special moment for you?
FOR YOU
Do you know how to prepare iced coffee?

Finally, Christian, have you ever participated in a barista competition, or would you like to
challenge yourself and participate in one?
Thank you so much for sharing your experience and passion for coffee with us. You've
inspired us to see barismo in a new light! And to you, dear listeners, don't forget that every cup
of coffee can be a masterpiece.

THIS WEEK’S INSPIRING PHRASES, SAYINGS AND IDIOMS

PART 2: MASTER YOUR LANGUAGE
Hoy revisaremos lo que se conoce con el nombre de TAG QUESTIONS o el tipo de preguntas que
remplazan a lo que en español conocemos como NO/CIERTO/VERDAD/NO ES CIERTO/NO ES VERDAD,
nosotros esto lo usamos indistintamente y con cualquiera de las opciones, pero el ingles tiene una regla
especifica que tengo que seguir para armar esta estructura:
ORACION AFIRMATIVA, auxiliar negativo + sujeto?
ORACION NEGATIVA, auxiliar afirmativo + sujeto?

Vamos con el verbo TO BE y todos los tiempos que se pueden formar con el mismo, para que se pueda
entender esta regla que se usa en todos los tiempos y con todas las estructuras.

AFFIRMATIVE SENTENCES NEGATIVE SENTENCES

-She’s pretty nosy, ISN’T she? My room’s not a mess, IS it?
Ella es muy metida, NO? Mi cuarto no esta desordenado, NO?
-We’re pretty late, AREN’T we? You’re not pregnant, ARE you?
Estamos my atrasados, CIERTO? Tu no estas embarazada, CIERTO?
-Your brother is in school today, ISN’T he? My friends aren’t in the park, ARE they?
Tu hermano está en la escuela, VERDAD? Mis amigos no están en el parque, VERDAD?
-It’s a beautiful day, ISN’T it? It isn’t raining, is it?
Es un bonito dia, NO ES CIERTO? No esta lloviendo, NO ES CIERTO?
-Her father’s going to call soon, ISN’T he? Our exams aren’t lost, ARE they?
Su padre va a llamar pronto, NO ES VERDAD? Nuestros exámenes no están perdidos, NO ES VERDAD?

Ellos son alérgicos a los tallarines, NO? -Bonita mañana, CIERTO? -No podrías haber escogido una mejor.
Fredi, Fredi Simmonds. Mi Dios, eres tu, CIERTO? -Andy, vamos a llegar a ser mas o menos amigos, CIERTO?
No, no eres tú. -Si, supongo

La única excepción con el verbo TO BE, es cuando usamos el auxiliar AM en afirmativo, y nos quedaría:
-I’m pretty stubborn, AREN’T I?
Soy bastante terco, NO?

La regla se aplica de acuerdo al tiempo que se esta usando, es por eso que tengo que tomar en cuenta
eses detalle para saber que auxiliar usar, el error típico es seguir usando el verbo TO BE, por ejemplo:
You speak English, AREN’T you?, el error aquí es seguir usando el verbo TO BE como auxiliar, ya que la
oración esta en presente simple y los auxiliares en este tiempo son DO/DOES/DON’T/DOESN’T, la forma
correcta seria:

-You speak English, DON’T you?

Tu hablas ingles, NO?
-She lives here, DOESN’T she?
Ella vive aquí, VERDAD?
-She’d like to see me, WOULDN’T she?
A ella le gustaría verme, NO?

Cuando formamos esta estructura con oraciones NEGATIVAS, es muy fácil elaborarlas por mas complejas
que sean, ya que el auxiliar siempre está junto a la forma negativa.

-I DIDN’T call you yesterday, DID I?

Yo no te llame ayer, CIERTO?
-You CAN’T help me, CAN you?
Ud no puede ayudarme, VERDAD?
-She SHOULDN’T have said that, SHOULD she?
Ella no deberia haber dicho eso, NO ES VERDAD?
LAST BUT NOT LEAST ABOUT TAG QUESTIONS
Tomar en cuenta los siguientes casos relacionados a el uso de las TAG
QUESTIONS: 1.- Si uso LET’S la tag question es SHAL WE?

2.- THIS/THAT se transforman en IT/ THESE/THOSE se transforma en THEY

3.- EVERYTHING se transforma en IT y EVERYONE/EVERYBODY/SOMEONE/SOMEBODY/ NO ONE/

NOBODY se transforman en THEY.

4.- No se olviden que palabras negativas en las oraciones como SELDOM/RARELY/NEVER/ALMOST

NEVER/HARDLY EVER etc., tendrán una TAG QUESTION afirmativa.
5.- Los imperativos utilizan otras estructuras:

Will you? won’t you? Would you? Can you? y Could you? son usados en preguntas despues de los imperativos.
Estas no son preguntas reales (significan algo como por favor), pero tienen una entonación alta. (hacen que el
imperativo sea muy amable)

-Do sit down, won’t you? = Sientate/Sientense, por favor.

-Open the window, would you? = Abre la ventana, por favor
-Give me a hand, would you? = Dame una mano, por favor
-Shut up, can’t you? = Callate, por favor

After a negative imperative, only will you? can be used.

Después de un imperativo negativo, solo Will you? puede ser usado.
-Don’t forget to call her, will you? = No te olvides de llamarla, por favor?

5.

I’m sure you know, don’t you?

FOR YOU…..
Tick or a cross next to them = Ponga un visto o una X junto a ellas
