Dear Student,
Welcome to the English Discoveries Student Workbook Basic 2.
This workbook is especially for you! It will help you use, practice and progress in English.
Each unit of the workbook corresponds directly to a unit in the English Discoveries Basic 2 course.
You should use this workbook together with the course. For example, after you do the Listening
section from the course, we recommend you do the Listening section in the workbook. Your
workbook also contains copies of the Explore texts from the English Discoveries course, so you can
refer to its content when you are away from the computer.
Each unit in the workbook has four sections: Listening, Reading, Speaking and Grammar.
The Listening section will help you practice your listening skills. A variety of genres such as voice
mail messages, radio programs and TV video clips are included.
The Reading section will reinforce your understanding of different kinds of reading texts such as
postcards, ads, stories and newspaper articles.
The Speaking section will give you the opportunity to practice different speaking functions such as
ordering a meal in a restaurant, asking for directions, making suggestions, etc.
The Grammar section will help you practice the main points of the online unit within the context of
the unit theme. This way you will learn to use grammar structures in real-life situations.
Special emphasis has been given throughout the workbook to speaking and writing activities and you
will see that you have a lot of opportunity to express yourself in both spoken and written English.
We hope you enjoy using this program and wish you lots of luck!

cookbook needs to be different from other cookbooks in some way. I was too busy
telling people what to do instead of just writing a successful cookbook.

People are Crazy About Sports
Why do people love to watch sports? Professor Len Sanders of Georgetown

other people play?
Sports is good business. A winning team can make millions of dollars. A good
athlete or player can make a very large salary. For example, at the Wimbledon
Tennis Championships, the winner can make more than $500,000.

Do it!
I always remember my mother saying, Wake up. Clean your room. Dont eat
candy. Hurry up. Do your homework. Be good. Dont run. Sit down. Stand up. Do
this. Do that. I always thought, Hmm, I like that job. Five years ago, I started the
Clean-House Agency. I put an ad in the newspaper. I answered all the telephone
calls and letters, and started my business.
I told all the new workers, Be quick, and be clean. I showed them how to clean
homes and offices. First, we all worked together. Now, they usually work alone.
Last night I showed my daughter how to make a cake. First, take four eggs from
the refrigerator and some sugar from the cupboard. Then, open the box...
Suddenly I had a wonderful idea: cookbooks! Im starting a new business! With my
cookbooks, I can tell hundreds of people what to do!

The Family Picnic
Does your family have family reunions? Once a year, all my relatives meet for a
family picnic. We always meet in a park; aunts, uncles and cousins, young and old.
We talk, eat and have lots of fun. Last year, Uncle Seymour and Aunt Flo had a big
fight. I still remember it:
Seymour, where were you last night? You went to the basketball game, didnt
you? Where was I, Flo? Where were you? I phoned home, and no one answered.
You phoned? I was at home all night!
