Una competencia es la integracin de habilidades, conocimientos y actitudes en un contexto especfico.
El enfoque en competencias considera que los conocimientos por s mismos no son lo ms importante, sino el uso
que se hace de ellos en situaciones especficas de la vida personal, social y profesional. De este modo, las
competencias requieren una base slida de conocimientos y ciertas habilidades, los cuales se integran para un
mismo propsito en un determinado contexto

propsito de que apoyado por tu maestro mejores el aprendizaje. Es necesario que realices la autoevaluacin, este
ejercicio permite que valores tu actuacin y reconozcas tus posibilidades, limitaciones y cambios necesarios para

Exercise 5
Read and report orally in English, your own words, the history of The Hershey Company. Be prepared
with notes. (The reading can be assigned in small parts to different students).
Hersheys Chocolate
It all started with a decision.
Our company originated with candy-manufacturer Milton Hersheys decision in 1894 to produce sweet chocolate as
a coating for his caramels. Located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, he called his new enterprise the Hershey Chocolate
Company. In 1900, the company began producing milk chocolate in bars, wafers and other shapes. With massproduction, Hershey was able to lower the per-unit cost and make milk chocolate, once a luxury item for the wealthy,
affordable to all. One early advertising slogan described this new product as a palatable confection and a most
nourishing food.
A company on the move.
The immediate success caused the companys owner to consider increasing his production facilities. He decided to
build a new chocolate factory amid the gently rolling farmland of south-central Pennsylvania in Derry Township,
where he had been born. Close to the ports of New York and Philadelphia which supplied the imported sugar and
cocoa beans needed, surrounded by dairy farms that provided the milk required, and with a local labor supply of
honest, hard-working people, the location was perfect. By the summer of 1905, the new factory was turning out
delicious milk chocolate.
BLOCK 2
43
Exercise 5 (continuation)
A KISS for the whole world.
Looking to expand its product line, the company in 1907 began producing a flat-bottomed, conical milk chocolate
candy which Mr. Hershey decided to name HERSHEYS KISSES Chocolates. At first, they were individually
wrapped in little squares of silver foil, but in 1921 machine wrapping was introduced. That technology was also
used to add the familiar plume at the top to signify to consumers that this was a genuine HERSHEYS KISS
Chocolate. In 1924, the company even had it trademarked.
New products, hard times.
Throughout the next two decades, even more products were added to the companys offerings. These included
MR. GOODBAR (1925), HERSHEYS Syrup (1926), chocolate chips (1928) and the KRACKEL bar (1938). Despite
the Great Depression of the 1930s, these products helped the newly incorporated Hershey Chocolate
Corporation maintain its profitability and avoid any worker layoffs.
Hersheys Chocolate goes to war.
With the outbreak of World War II, the Hershey Chocolate Corp. (which had provided milk chocolate bars to
American doughboys in the first war) was already geared up to start producing a survival ration bar for military
use. By the end of the war, more than a billion of these Ration D bars had been produced and the company had
earned no less than five Army-Navy E Production Awards for its exceptional contributions to the war effort.
A family friend becomes a family member.
The post-war period saw the introduction of a host of new products and the acquisition of an old one. Since 1928,
H.B. Harry Reeses candy company, also located in Hershey, had been making chocolate-covered peanut
butter cups. Given that Hershey Chocolate supplied the coating for REESES penny cups; (the wrapper said,
Made in Chocolate Town, So They Must Be Good), it was not surprising that the two companies had a good
relationship. As a result, seven years after Reeses death in 1956, the H.B. Reese Candy Company was sold to
Hershey Chocolate Corp.
Growing up and branching out.
The following decades would see the company - renamed Hershey Foods Corporation in 1968 - expanding its
confectionery product lines, acquiring related companies and even diversifying into other food products. Among
the many acquisitions were: San Giorgio Macaroni and Delmonico Foods (1966); manufacturing and marketing
rights to English candy company Rowntree MacKintoshs products (1970); Y&S Candies, makers of Twizzlers
licorice (1977); Dietrich Corp.s confectionery operations (1986); Peter Paul/Cadburys U.S. confectionery
operations (1988); and Ronzoni Foods (1990).
The Hershey Company enters a new century.
Today, The Hershey Company is the leading North American manufacturer of chocolate and non-chocolate
confectionery and grocery products. As the new millennium begins, we continue to introduce new products
frequently and to take advantage of growth opportunities through acquisitions. HERSHEYS products are known
and enjoyed the world over. In fact, we export to over 90 countries. With approximately 13,700 employees and
net sales in excess of $4 billion, The Hershey Company remains committed to the vision and values of the man
who started it all so many years ago.

Mother's Day in Mexico
Photo: Yazan
A Mother's Day gathering in a town
in Mexico.
BLOCK 3
In Mexico during the early morning hours of May 10 it is a tradition that many
people go to serenade their moms.
Some of they hire a trio or a mariachi band or they meet with several people to
go to sing to their moms.
It is customary to have festivals for mothers in schools, where students
perform dances, sing some songs, or perform some representation; others
tell some jokes, all in order to make moms spend a pleasant time watching
their children doing something for them.
They take advantage of this time to give their moms some gifts. In many
schools students do some crafts before Mother's Day, either an
embellishment for the home or some embroidered detail.
Many families usually gather to entertain their moms. They bring some dishes
and eat together and spend as much time as possible with them to honor on
their day.

CHRISTMAS TIME
Im an employee at Home Depot Department Store. All the employees are working overtime because is Christmas
and there is a lot of people buying things for their homes.
There are lots of things on sale. There is some much people that some clients think they wont be able to get
anything.
All the employees, even the general manager, are attending the clients because the salespeople are not enough
to do it.
This Department Store offers delivery service but this season is not possible because of the excess of people to
attend.
The result of this good response of the consumers is due to the work done before the sale, the advertising section
on the newspapers giving information about the bargains, discounts, sales, coupons for special discounts in
certain products.
People dont care if they have to travel long distance to save money, sometimes very little, but they have been
captured by marketing.
1. Did the general manager write the paragraph?
2. Which holiday are they talking about?
