Dear Student,
Each unit of the workbook corresponds directly to a unit in the English Discoveries Intermediate 3
course. You should use this workbook together with the course. For example, after you do the
listening component 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 genre, 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!

That was Allegra Pizzicato and I am Ray Tone - and we have two shows we want to tell
you about this week.
Allegra: Well the first show, Never on Monday which opened this week, is one that I strongly do
not recommend. The music is intolerably loud and the singers are extremely untalented. I
have to say I was very disappointed because the musical is directed by Noel Hill, the
same person who directed the successful The Astonished Genius. In my view, Never on
Monday should never be seen on any day!
Ray:
Well Allegra, you seem pretty certain about not recommending that show! Unfortunately,
listeners are going to be further disappointed to hear that the long-running, popular
musical show Musical Box has been cancelled due to the illness of some of the main
performers. Tickets have already been sold out for the first performance of the new
season this weekend. Im afraid ticket holders will have to hang on to their tickets till the
musical is rescheduled. I imagine there are going to be a lot of disappointed fans hearing
that announcement.
Allegra: I was right about the dramatic opera The Astonished Genius. Its a huge success! The
tickets are all sold out!

Dear Sir,
I am writing to complain about the terrible evening I spent last night at your restaurant.
Firstly, the restaurant was very crowded and noisy and we had to wait nearly two hours for
a table. Secondly, there wasnt even a tablecloth on our table! Thirdly, the service was
disgusting and the waiter not only brought us the wrong food, but my girlfriends steak was
burned and my shrimps were very bitter. This was our first date and our evening was
ruined.
I hope you take this complaint seriously and compensate me for the meal. My girlfriend and
I are both suffering from bad stomachaches and we had to cancel our trip abroad.

I've just met the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, Judy said dreamily.
Where did you meet him? Meg asked.
At The Deep Blue Sea, Judy replied.
What's that?
You know. It's that new restaurant where all the waiters and waitresses wear fish costumes, Judy
said.
Well, I saw him at the table across from me. I thought he was a snob. But then he smiled at me,
and I thought he recognized me from somewhere. He didn't. He just wanted to meet me. We started
talking. Meg, he's so easygoing, and he has a great sense of humor. And he has the nicest
personality...
Meg could not listen to Judy any longer. She must have heard this same conversation a hundred
times. Judy, whom no one could call shy, met strangers and considered them friends within
minutes. The problem was that she was often disappointed when she actually got to know them.
Judy, Meg said.
Oh, and Meg, Judy continued, not listening, he was so affectionate. He kissed my cheek when
he said goodbye.
Judy, Meg said again.
What?
Be careful.
I can trust him. I know, Judy answered.
Like you knew about Peter?
Oh, Peter. I should have realized that Peter had problems when he started calling me five times a
day at work. Peter was a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes.
And Henry? Meg continued.
Oh, Henry. How could I have known about Henry?
Judy, you could have known about Henry if you had checked out his excuses. He was always
visiting his sick mother. You should have known.
I guess so. You're right, Judy consented.
Look! Just be careful. You always think you've met the man of your dreams whenever you meet
someone new.
They said goodbye, and Meg made herself a cup of coffee. She decided to go check out The Deep
Blue Sea the next day. It was time to meet someone new.

sure she would have brought home many gold medals. However, she has made a
name for herself with her champion gymnastics team. Coach Laurence, the North
Stars were expected to win every event at yesterday's competition. What
happened?
Coach:
I admit that we should have done much better, but several members of the team
had come down with the flu. They were exhausted. They really weren't in any
condition to compete, but they weren't willing to give in.
Host:
Well, I'm sure that if they hadn't been sick, the team would have made it to the

It was a terrible blow to the team's spirit. The girls who have been competing for a

through weightlifting and practice, but also regain their confidence, by hopefully

PROBLEMS AT WORK
News
If five hundred laborers and technicians at Solid Steel Corporation walk out of their
jobs tomorrow as planned, then the company will no doubt have to close down.
Solid Steel is the largest steel plant in our region, and its products are famous
throughout the world. The workers, whose wages have not been increased since
the plant opened five years ago, could have called another strike. Under the
circumstances, however, theyve decided to quit. Industrial experts were called in
last week to help management handle the situation, but apparently it is too late now
to save the plant. Mr. David Warren, chief warehouse clerk at the plant, said that the
workers would neither accept incentives to go back to work, nor continue with
negotiations. Another worker, Mr. John Kaplan, said, If they hadnt made so many
empty promises in the past, then none of this would have happened. Either the
general manager takes our threats seriously, or Solid Steel closes tomorrow. And
now, tomorrows weather...
Appendix

Hank Wiskowski, who represents the employees, disagrees: The management should have seen
how the industry was changing. If they had been more aware of the strength of the competition, we
would all be in the plant now, working.
So far negotiations have been unproductive. The two sides agree on one thing, though. Neither
Flemming Steel nor the strikers want the plant to close down. As one strikers wife says, If it
werent for the plant, many people in this region wouldnt be able to make a living. If it werent for
the loyalty of the workers until now, the plant would not have survived as long as it has. It seems
that Flemming will either have to find a solution to its problems or close its doors for good.

Host:
Good evening, and welcome to Point of View. This week we will discuss the situation
of the homeless in America's cities. What sorts of housing alternatives are available?
What is our responsibility as members of society? Could the establishment have done
something to prevent the current situation? We want to hear what you think. Give us a
call on 967-4133. Do we have someone on the line?
Caller 1:
Hello?
Host:
Caller 1:
Jim Dawkins.
Host:
Well, Jim, what are your views on the situation of the homeless?
Caller 1:
I don't think society should feel responsible for them. I think these people must have
done something, and as a result, have been left homeless. Keeping a job usually
depends on whether or not you're willing to work. These people must be lazy, and I
don't believe in helping people who won't help themselves.
Host:
Well, thanks for calling, Jim. And we have another caller. Hello. You're on the air.
What's your name?
Caller 2:
I'm Marilyn Goldshmidt, and I would like to comment on what Mr. Dawkins said. I work
with the homeless, and in many cases they are either capable people who have had
some bad luck, or senior citizens who don't have enough money to pay the rent. If the
establishment had taken steps to help these people, the situation would be different
today. We wouldn't have young people with children, and elderly people living on the
streets. The homeless are really no different from you and me. They just don't have
enough money to pay rent...
Host:
I'm sorry, but I have to interrupt you, Marilyn. We have to end the program now. Thank
you for calling, and thank you all for listening. Have a good week, and join us again

Hello, Johnny. It's Sophie. You really should have come with us last night. We went to that Chinese
restaurant where Carmen's used to be. The food was fabulous; I never knew I had such a big
appetite. It was a buffet and we ate as much as we wanted. To start off with, I had a bowl of corn
soup, although I probably could have skipped it. Instead of having just one main dish, I tried
everything. My favorites were the Chinese roast beef, shrimp with vegetables, and sweet and sour
chicken. Everything was delicious. You must come with us next time.

After waiting almost an hour, they finally got a table. Unfortunately, it was in the smoking section.
Not only that, but the tablecloth and silverware didn't look very clean. Finally, the waiter came to
take their order.
"I'll have the roast beef, well done, and corn on the cob," said Marcy.
"And I'll have the All-You-Can-Eat Shrimp Special" said Raoul.
"Something to drink?" asked the waiter.
"Two mineral waters," said Raoul.
After a very long wait, their dinner arrived. "This roast beef is awfully rare," said Marcy.
"And these shrimp have a strange, bitter flavor," complained Raoul. "Let's ask the waiter for our
check."
On the way home, both Raoul and Marcy had stomachaches.
"It must have been that roast beef," said Marcy.
"And those awful shrimp!" cried Raoul. "If we had just gone out for a pizza, we would have
enjoyed ourselves so much more!"
The next day, Raoul saw a review of Sam's Seafood and Steak House in the college newspaper.
It said, "We do not have a single compliment for this terrible restaurant! Whatever you do, don't
go to Sam's Seafood and Steak House!"
"Now they tell us!" cried Raoul, holding his stomach.
