Introduction

Introduction
General Characteristics of the Series
Sign Up to English is a three-level series specially designed
for teenagers studying English as a foreign language. The
series provides real-life situations, interesting topics and
engaging activities in the Course Book to foster the use
of the target language in class in meaningful contexts.
The activities aim to provide learners with opportunities to
practise the language in a consistent and productive way.
Personalisation is a strong feature in Sign Up to English.
Students are given various opportunities throughout the
units of the Course Book to relate what is being learned
in class to their own experience. Themes involving ethics,
environmental issues, health, cultural plurality, education,
work and citizenship permeate most of the activities and
are used in interesting reading texts, exciting projects
and thought-provoking discussions.
The technological element in the Course Book (through
the Project Work activities and interactive games on
the Students Interactive CD-ROM) responds to the
interests of teenagers and provides extra opportunities
for learners to use the language in real-life situations.

Components of Sign Up to English


For each level the series provides a Course Book (with a builtin Workbook, a Grammar Reference section and a Students
Interactive CD-ROM) and a Teachers Book (with an Audio
CD). A stand-alone component is the Teachers Resource CDROM which features photocopiable activities for extension
and consolidation, and extra photocopiable tests.

Course Book
The Course Book contains:
A Scope & Sequence section
A Starter Unit
8 Units of four lessons each
8 Review sections (one per unit)
8 World Issues sections (one per unit)
A Workbook section
A Grammar Reference section
A List of Irregular Verbs (for levels 2 and 3)
A Students Interactive CD-ROM

The Scope & Sequence section consists of two pages with


detailed information on syllabus distribution, including
functions, grammar, lexis and recycling for every unit.
The Starter Unit is a two-lesson introductory unit with
varied activities that allow for the recycling or effective
teaching of the minimum language requirements needed
to start the course. For teachers, the Starter Unit is also
a useful tool for conducting an initial diagnosis of new
students background knowledge of English.
The following eight Units contain four lessons each,
and are followed by a Review lesson and a World
Issues section. Each lesson consists of a double-spread
section; consequently, each unit contains 12 pages
(except for the Starter Unit which has two doublespread sections covering 4 pages). The lessons are
theme-based and contain a wide array of reading text
types to contextualise and present the target language.
The four macro skills (reading, listening, speaking and
writing) are well balanced and addressed in all the
lessons of the units.
The Review section appears after lesson 4 in all the
Units in the Course Book and it is a very useful tool for
students to revise the contents they have learned.
World Issues is a section that accompanies the Course
Book with exciting articles and activities spread over
16 colourful pages. There is a double-spread World
Issues section per unit. World Issues texts focus on the
development of reading skills and enhance students
ability to express points of view and discuss topics of
interest. The World Issues section contains a link to a
Project Work activity every two units. (See Students
Interactive CD-ROM.)
The Workbook section appears at the end of the Course
Book and consists of 32 pages (4 pages per unit). The
Workbook provides a series of activities for practice and
consolidation of the structures and vocabulary learned in
each lesson of the Course Book and is meant to be done
by students at home.
The Grammar Reference is a user-friendly section with
grammar boxes and exercises for extra grammar practice.
Throughout the units of the Course Book, students
will find Sign Up to Grammar boxes that direct them to
the Grammar Reference section for further examples

Students Interactive CD-ROM

Each Course Book is accompanied by a Students


Interactive CD-ROM with two interactive games that
can be played at the students convenience. These games
help students revise key vocabulary and core grammar
points learnt in the Course Book. In addition, the CDROM contains a key feature of the Course Book: the
Project Work activities which function as input for the
development of projects where English can be used in
real-life situations. They involve gathering information
on the Internet, analysing and responding to it, and
encouraging students to develop their presentation
skills. For both teachers and learners, the Project Work
activities are rich optional resources as they provide
engaging activities and opportunities for collaborative
learning. These activities are explained in this Teachers
Book on pages 84, 85 and 86.

Teachers Book
The Teachers Book contains:
This Introduction
Lesson-by-lesson exploitation of the Units
Audio Scripts
Answer Key to the Course Book and Workbook
3 photocopiable Tests with Answer Key
An Audio CD
The Teachers Book is the gateway for a sound and
thorough use of the Course Book and the Students
Interactive CD-ROM. It provides a handful of ideas and
suggestions to give support to teachers in different areas.
It contains detailed lesson-by-lesson planning notes,
Audio Scripts and Answer Key sections to the activities
in the Course Book. Cultural notes, reference sections,
suggestions of interdisciplinary projects and extra
activities can also be found.

Three photocopiable tests are provided in this Teachers


Book to assess the main skills developed and language,
grammar and vocabulary items acquired throughout the
units. Test 1 covers Units 1 to 3, Test 2 covers Units 4 to 6
and Test 3 covers Units 7 and 8. In this way, students are
provided with one test per trimester.
The Answer Key to the photocopiable tests is at the back
of this Teachers Book.

Audio CD

The Teachers Book in the Sign Up to English series is


accompanied by an Audio CD. It includes the listening
input required for class work. A system of icons and track
numbers on the Students Book pages is used to link the
listening activities with the audio CD tracks.

Outstanding Features within the Lessons


Sign Up to Grammar box

This section brings the lessons target language into


focus so that learners have a clear reference for study.
The Sign Up to Grammar box is placed in a box on the
top right-hand side of the second page of each doublespread section. The fixed position of the box is a userfriendly resource as it allows students to find the main
language items in the lesson quickly and easily.

Useful Tip Boxes

Some lessons have Useful Tips boxes. These boxes provide


tips on a variety of topics; including grammar, spelling,
pronunciation and culture.

and practice. The Grammar Reference also provides


opportunities for self-evaluation: for each Grammar
Reference topic, students may circle one out of three
emoticons (happy, neutral or sad faces) that appear next
to each grammar topic to show whether they understand
the topic very well, well or not very well.
This may help develop the students sense of progress
and awareness of their learning processes.
At the end of the Course Book, students will find a List
of Irregular Verbs (for levels 2 and 3).

minutes for this activity. The student who gets more
points in the allotted time is the winner.
Answer key: Students own answers

In their notebooks, students write about what


they would like to do on their next holiday. Encourage
them to include the destination and means of transport
chosen. You may assign this task as homework. It would
be a good idea to help students plan their writing task.
First, encourage them to brainstorm their ideas on a
separate sheet of paper. Then, help them decide which
of their ideas they should use at the beginning of
their paragraphs (name of the destination and means
of transport chosen). Finally, encourage students to
conclude their writing task by including some ideas
about what they would like to do there and some reasons
too. A skeleton paragraph (a paragraph with some blanks)
written on the board can also be a good visual aid.

Lesson 1 (CB p. 20)

Students discuss the warm-up questions in class.


You may draw two columns on the board and write:
Things I like eating and Things I dont like eating. Ask
different students to talk about their eating preferences
in connection with these two ideas: I like eating and
I dont like eating Then, ask the whole class which food
items they think would be part of a healthy and of an
unhealthy diet. Write their answers on the board. After
that, ask students to open their books. Refer students to
the pictures in activity 2 and check if they have seen a
food pyramid before.
Answer key: Students own answers

Students match the food items they know to the


pictures in the food pyramid. Check students answers by
reading aloud the words and asking students to say the
corresponding numbers. You may want to ask students
to repeat the words after you, one by one, to practise
pronunciation.

Lesson 1 (CB p. 21)

Students listen to an expert talking about the


food pyramid and answer the two questions: 1) What
food items does the expert mention that are not in the
chart in activity 2? and 2) What does the expert say about
a new symbol to replace the food pyramid? If necessary,
play the recording twice or even three times as students
take down notes that they will use later on to answer the
questions. You may check this activity by asking some
volunteers to read aloud their answers.

juice, pasta. 2. My Plate is the new symbol. It is a chart
similar to a plate and a glass with four sections or
groups similar to the ones in the food pyramid.

Audio script 8
Speaker: We all know about the food pyramid and how important
it is in connection with healthy eating habits. This chart helps
us understand very easily what we should eat every day.
Perhaps the most popular food pyramid is the one designed
by the United States Department of Agriculture in 1992. In
this chart we can see a small yellow group at the top. In this
group, we can find soft drinks, cookies, chips, doughnuts, oils
and sweets in general. We must be careful not to eat too much
of these items. The next group is purple and there we can find
fish, eggs, meat, chicken and nuts, for example. The blue group
contains dairy products such as butter, milk, cheese, ice cream
and yoghurt. We should consume two or three servings a day
of some of the items in these two groups. Next on the chart,
there is the green group basically vegetables such as carrots,

box. Explain the words countable and uncountable.


Explain that some words can be counted (they admit a
number before them) but others cannot. Ask students:
Can you count apples / cookies, etc.? (The answer is yes.)
Can you count water / rice / cereal, etc.? (The answer
is no.) Draw students attention to the fact that some
words which are countable in their mother tongue might
be uncountable in English. Give some examples: bread is
countable in Spanish but uncountable in English, etc.
Students write the words in activity 2 on page 20 in the
correct columns. Draw two columns on the board with
two headings (Countable nouns and Uncountable nouns).
Check this activity by asking some volunteers to write
their answers on the board in the corresponding column.
Answer key: countable nouns: apples, doughnuts,
crisps (used mostly in the plural potato chips in
American English), bananas, carrots, eggs, beans (used
mostly in the plural), cookies, soft drink; uncountable
nouns: meat, fish, orange juice, milk, cheese, rice,
butter, cereal, bread
Draw students attention to the Grammar Reference
section, where they will find further examples and practice.

potatoes, tomatoes, fruit and fruit juice: apples, bananas,


melons, orange juice, strawberry juice and the like. It is a good
idea to have between two and five servings a day of some of
the items in this group. Finally, there is the orange group which
contains food items like cereal, bread, rice, beans and pasta.
We should eat between six and eleven servings per day of
some of these items. So, as we said before, this is probably the
most popular food pyramid.
But what happens at present? Is there a new way to represent
healthy eating habits, a new symbol to replace the food
pyramid? The answer is yes. In 2011, the United States
Department of Agriculture designed a chart called My Plate.
This chart is similar to a plate and a glass. On the plate, there
are four sections or groups similar to the ones in the food
pyramid: a green group (vegetables), a red group (fruit), an
orange group (grains), a purple group (protein) and, of course,
a glass that represents dairy products. So, My Plate gives us a
new and more modern visual concept in healthy eating habits.

REFERENCE:

In the USA, students usually have lunch at school. In


public schools, they can either pay a small fee and eat
at the school cafeteria, or take a packed lunch from
home. In Britain, things are very similar. Children can

by the school or a packed lunch taken from home. Some
children are entitled to a free school dinner, but most
children pay for theirs.

of fattening food and I dont eat any vegetables. The thing is, I
cant stand vegetables. I hate them. But I do take some fruit to
school an apple or a banana or something like that. Thats at
least something healthy in my diet, dont you think?

USEFUL TIP:

Vocabulary: Draw students attention to Useful Tip box


and ask a volunteer to read aloud the tip it contains.
Explain that when we are hungry or thirsty, we can buy
something to eat or drink at a fast food restaurant, a
takeaway (restaurant), a caf, a pub, a pizza place, an ice
cream parlour, etc.

Have students read the short article and ask


them to fill in the blanks with the name of an eating or
drinking place. Tell students that they should use some of
the places mentioned in the Useful Tip box.
Answer key: 1. fast food restaurant; 2. takeaway;
3. pizza places; 4. pubs; 5. caf

REFERENCE:

In 1889, during a visit to Naples, Queen Margherita


of Italy was served a pizza resembling the colours of
the Italian flag, red (tomato), white (mozzarella) and
green (basil). This kind of pizza has been named after the
Queen as Pizza Margherita.

Students work in pairs. They tell their partners


about some good places in their neighbourhoods to have
something to eat or drink. Refer students to the example
given and ask them to use it as a model. Encourage
students to swap roles. Monitor students work as you
walk around the classroom.

Lesson 2 (CB p. 23)

6 Draw students attention to the Sign Up to Grammar

box. Discuss the use of quantifiers in class. Write on the


board: I drink coffee. Then insert suitable quantifiers (a
lot of, lots of, (a) little, etc.) and explain the differences in
meaning. Follow the same procedure with other example
sentences using the words fruit and vegetables. Prompt
students to say which quantifiers could be used. Elicit from
students the differences between lots of, quite a lot of,
much / many and any. Work on the pronunciation of all the
quantifiers that appear in the Sign Up to Grammar box.
Draw students attention to the Grammar Reference
section, where they will find further examples and

I never have any sweet drinks like Coke or any of those soft
drinks people love. I just have some fruit juice or mineral
water. I dont take much fruit to school in my lunch box so
Im often hungry and I buy some yoghurt or a fruit salad for

listen to music, chat with friends and um I cant forget
study too. The most important thing in my room is my CD
player and, of course, my CDs. I keep them on the shelf
above the CD player. I love listening to music. When you see
my room, you will know what my other interests are. There
are posters on the wall with my favourite sports stars. My
skateboards always next to the door and I have a closet
where I keep my clothes and my tennis racket. The walls are
light green and the blinds are dark green the same colour
as my bedspread and the carpet is dark blue.
Speaker: Speaker 2, Olivia.

with lots of colourful cushions on it, and next to the bed theres
a bedside table with a lamp. Theres a desk for my computer
with some drawers where I keep my things: my sticker
collection, pens, pencils and everything. I love taking pictures
and so I have lots of picture frames on the shelves. The walls
are white and the curtains are purple. Its not a really romantic
room like lots of my friends rooms, but its very practical.
Speaker: Speaker 3, Helen.
Helen: Well, how could I describe my bedroom? Its really a place
I simply love. I feel so at ease and comfortable in it. Its quite
a large room in fact, and Ive got a queen size bed with a soft
bedspread and some cushions on it. Theres also a bookcase
where I keep most of the books Im reading at school and also
some photo albums. My desk is next to the window with a PC
on top. This is the area where I study and do my homework
when I come back from school. And theres a big arm chair
too. Its just opposite the footboard of my bed. I quite enjoy
sitting there every night right before going to bed.

a previously mentioned noun after a verb or preposition.
You may write these examples on the board: Helens got
a lot of cushions on her bed. She loves them. (Point out
that them refers to cushions). My best friend is Bea. I
usually study with her. (Point out that her refers to Bea).
Make sure students understand they cant use Subject
Pronouns (I, he, she, they, etc) in these cases. Then, ask

This activity will activate students previous


knowledge. You may ask them to work in pairs and, in
three minutes, write down (on a slip of paper) as many
clothes items as they remember. Then, ask different
pairs to read out their lists and also to tell the class
the clothes they prefer wearing and if they care about
fashion. You may write students answers on the
board and encourage them to complete their lists with
the words you write down. Add some more words if
necessary. If students find it difficult to come up with
some answers in this activity, they may use bilingual
dictionaries or you may provide the answers on the board
yourself. Work on the correct pronunciation of some
items of clothing that students might find problematic.

Tell students they are going to read an article


about what the clothes we wear may reveal about
our personality. You may read out the introductory
paragraph and then different students (chosen at
random or volunteers) can read out the rest of the
paragraphs. You may assign each paragraph by reading
out the subheadings so that students become aware of
the pronunciation of some possible new words such as
sloppy, designer, flashy, drab, etc. Work on the correct
pronunciation of some of these adjectives that students
might find problematic. Help students out with the
meaning of new words in the text if necessary. Finally,
ask them to do the matching exercise and correct this
activity by asking different students to read out their
answers.

USEFUL TIP:

Language and Vocabulary: Draw students attention to


the Useful Tip box. Write the first sentence in the box
on the board underlining m wearing and ve got on
to show students that both structures mean the same.
Ask different students to describe what their classmates
are wearing by using these two structures: Pablo, what
is Laura wearing? And what has Luciano got on?, etc.
When it comes to the third sentence in the box, you may
explain belong to by saying: This is my desk. It belongs
to me. Its mine. Point out that belong is a verb used
to indicate possession and that mine is a possessive
pronoun that students will study when they do the
activities on the following page. Then, tell students that
trainers and trousers are called in a different way in
American English (US): sneakers and pants. Finally, ask
a volunteer to read out the Useful Tip box to clarify and
reinforce ideas.

3 Ask students to read each sentence and look at the

picture of the Smiths carefully so that they can discover


who is who. Give them some minutes to complete the
task. Check answers as a whole group by asking, for
instance: Whos Nina? Number 1, 3 or 4? Whos Ted?
Number 2 or 5?
Answer key: 4, 5, 2, 3, 1

13 Ask a student to read out the rubrics. Then, tell


the class to read the statements silently. Play the audio
CD as students try to cross out the incorrect statement.
Check answer as a whole group by asking, for instance:
Which is the incorrect answer? If most students were
not able to get the right answer, play the audio CD again.

Answer key: Because they want to use the computer.

Audio script 13
Mr Smith: Oh, goodness! What a mess, girls! And Sam, you
arent ready! Its time to go!
Mrs Smith: But lets clean up this room before we leave.
Alyssa: Oh, come on, Mum! We can do it later.
Mrs Smith: No, now! Whose sock is this?
Alyssa: It isnt mine. Its Ninas.

Game: Pictionary. Write between ten and fifteen names


of clothes items on slips of paper (T-shirt, trousers, socks,
hat, shirt, trainers, jeans, tie, handbag, shoes, raincoat, etc.)
Put the slips of paper in an envelope or small plastic bag.
Divide the class into small groups of three or four students.
Any member of each group will have to pick out a slip of
paper without looking and draw on the board the clothes
item they get. By turns, ask a member of each group to
come up to the front, pick out a slip of paper and draw on
the board. As the student is drawing, the rest of the group
members will have 40 seconds to guess what clothes item
it is. Point out that the student who is drawing cannot say
a word but just mime if the group is going on the right
track to guessing or not. The group that guesses correctly
must keep the slip of paper. The winner is the group that
has been able to collect more slips.

Lesson 2 (CB p. 35)

Direct students attention to the Sign Up to


Grammar box. Explain that Whose? is used to ask
about who possesses or owns something, and that we
may use Possessive Adjectives or Pronouns to answer
this question. Make sure students understand the
difference in use between the Possessive Adjectives and
the Possessive Pronouns. Then, ask students to do activity

Lesson 3 (CB p. 36)

Lesson-by-lesson plans

Ask a student to read out the rubrics. Before


passing on to the activity itself, explain what the phrase
parenting style refers to and clarify the meaning of the
words in the exercise that students may not know. For
example, you may explain overprotective by saying that
an overprotective parent is the one who protects their
children more than they should. Then, have students do
the activity and correct it by asking some volunteers
to read out their answers. Finally, work on the correct
pronunciation of some of the adjectives connected with
parenting styles that students might find problematic.

Answer key: 2, 4, 1, 5, 3

Read out the rubrics and ask students to read


the interview. If possible, encourage them to use a
dictionary to look up the words they dont know. Walk
around the class helping them out and checking their
work. Ask them to choose two or three adjectives in
activity 1 to describe Madonnas parenting style. Tell
students to share their answers with the class.

Lesson 3 (CB p. 37)

14 Direct students attention to the Sign Up


to Grammar box. Explain that should is used to give
suggestions and advice and that the verb after it is in the
infinitive form. Teach them the correct pronunciation of
this modal verb by reading out one of the sentences in
the box and the modal verb in isolation. Point out that
the l in should is not pronounced. Tell students that
advice is an uncountable noun and have two volunteers
read out the Sign Up to Grammar and Useful Tip boxes
to reinforce all these concepts. Then, let students know
that that they are going to listen to an expert, Dr Benson,
talking about the pieces of advice parents usually give

28

their children. Finally, students complete activity 4 as you


play the audio CD. Check answers by playing the audio
CD and stopping after every answer.

Audio script 14
Speaker: In a recent magazine article, Dr Joanne Benson lists
some of the most common pieces of advice parents give their
children. Probably, the typical one we always hear
from parents is: You should always be polite to people.
And there are probably three more that we often hear in
most houses: You shouldnt fight with your brother or sister;
You shouldnt watch violent movies and You should always
keep your room clean. Dr Benson also includes two more,
one that refers to school and the other to eating habits:
You shouldnt hang out in the street after school and You
should eat lots of fruit and vegetables. Of course, there are
many more that we can think of, but these are the ones that
according to Dr Benson children, but especially teenagers,
find most irritating.

5 Ask students to write the appropriate questions. Then,


check this activity by having some volunteers read out
their answers.

Answer key: 2. Should we / I ask a classmate for help?


3. What time should I leave home? 4. How old should
I be to get my driving licence?

Ask students to look at the sentences in activity


4. They must tick the ones they hear most from their
parents and write three more similar examples in their
notebooks. You may assign this activity as homework
and / or have diferent groups of students compare
among themselves the three pieces of advice they
have written down.
Answer key: Students own answers

Ask students to work in pairs. Encourage them


to take turns being parents and children giving advice to
their parents. Monitor students work as you walk around
the classroom.

Answer key:
1 2, 3, 1, 4
2 6, 3, 4, 2, 1, 5
3 Suggested answers: 1. should be patient;
2. Should a good teacher be patient?; 3. should be
stricter; 4. shouldnt shout or get nervous.
4 Suggested answers: 1. She shouldnt spend hours on
the phone. 2. She should put on some warm clothes.
3. He should pay some more attention in class.
4. He should call in a doctor. 5. He should get a more
modern computer. 6. He should go on a strict diet.

Lesson 4 (CB p. 38)

Ask students what magazines they read and why.


Ask them to read the list of the magazine sections in the
activity and tick the ones they find interesting (or the
ones they usually read). It may be a good idea to preteach the meaning of some words like gossip column
(a section involving malicious rumours about famous
people) and showbiz news (news about the entertainment
industry, including theatre, films, television and radio).
Students share their choices as a whole group. Finally,
work on the correct pronunciation of some of the words
associated with newspapers and magazines that students
might find problematic.
Answer key: Students own answers

Students read the Problem Page and discuss as


a whole group what Lisas problem is. Make sure they
understand what she complains about regarding her
parents, i.e. they dont let her have a boyfriend or stay
out a bit later than midnight, etc.
Answer key: Students own answers

Now that students have individualised Lisas


worries in activity 2, have them tick the issues in this
activity. In pairs and by turns, one of the students
explains two of Lisas problems to his / her partner. Walk
around the class monitoring this activity and offering
help if needed.

4 Ask students to tick the piece of advice they would

give Lisa. Then, choose some students to share with the


rest of the class the piece of advice they selected and to
explain why.
Answer key: (Answers may vary) Possible answer:
You should talk to your parents because they may
understand you, and they may try not to be so strict.

Lesson 4 (CB p. 39)

5 Have students read the Sign Up to Grammar box

on this page. You may write on the board one of


the sentences with make (My parents make me eat
vegetables.) and another one with let (My mum lets us go
to bed late.) and elicit these verb structures (make / let
+ object pronoun (or noun phrase) + verb). Explain that
the object pronouns replace or refer to phrases (noun
phrases) that can also be used in these structures: (My
parents let my friends use their notebook. My parents
let them use their notebook). Also explain that, in these
examples, make is similar to force and that let is similar
to allow / give permission. Finally, ask students to do
the matching exercise (activity 5). Check this activity by
asking some volunteers to read out their answers.
For further examples and practice, refer students to
the Grammar Reference section on page 107.

TEST REVISION TIPS:

In class, make a check list of all the topics students need


to know before they take their first test. Write a list on
the board as you elicit the answers from students. Make
sure students are acquainted with the test structure and
scoring system.
Encourage students to do all the exercises (units 1 to 3)
in the Grammar Reference section for further practice.
Ask students to circle the emoticons (happy, neutral and
sad faces) that appear next to each grammar topic in
the Grammar Reference section to show whether they
understand the topic very well, well or not very well. This
may help develop the students sense of progress and
awareness of their learning processes.

3 Draw students attention to the Sign Up to Grammar

box on this page. Explain that we use go + -ing to talk


about most leisure activities and some sports that we
can do. You may tell students that the -ing forms used
after go also work as nouns that refer to these activities
(Swimming is good for you. Snowboarding is an exciting
sport.) Explain that we use play with sports that are
games and do with the words sports, activities and
exercise. Remind students that we use would / d like + to
+ verb to express our wishes regarding what we want to
do. Then, ask students to complete the sentences. Check
answers by asking different volunteers to read out each
sentence.

page 47. Give them some minutes and then elicit the
past form of regular verbs by asking them: What do we
write / add at the end of regular verbs in the past?, Why
are these verbs called regular? (They follow a rule: we
form the Simple Past of these verbs by adding -ed at the
end.) Then, point out that there are three verbs in the
box that have a different past form and, as they change
completely in the past, they are called irregular verbs: go
(went), be (was / were) and have (had). Tell students that
there are many more irregular verbs that they will study
in Unit 5. Finally, have them underline all the verbs in
the Simple Past in the text in activity 2. Check answers
as a whole group by asking some volunteers to say two
or three verbs.
Answer key: arrived, stayed, was, decided, walked,
stopped, went, talked, loved, visited, rented, danced, called

Ask a student to read out the instructions


for this activity. Before checking the answers, refer
students to the Useful Tip box on page 47. Then, choose
some students at random to read the answers. Monitor
students correct production of the sounds that are used
to say these verbs in the past.

USEFUL TIP:

Pronunciation: Read out the tips and examples so


that students become aware of the sound they are
expected to produce when reading the answers to
activity 4. Ask students to repeat after you every time
you read out the examples in the Useful Tip box. Point
out that when verbs end in t or d, the ed particle is
pronounced /id/.

Answer key: arrived, stayed, decided, walked,


stopped, talked, loved, visited, rented, danced, called

Lesson 2 (CB p. 47)

Students listen to the audio CD as they read


the diary entry on page 46. Tell them to focus their
attention on the pronunciation of the past forms of
the verbs as they listen to the audio CD. As a followup, write these verbs in the past on the board: talked,
worked, fished, washed (to practise the final /t/ sound) rained, stayed, climbed, phoned (to practise the final /d/
sound) and ended, rented, started, sounded (to practice
the final /id/ sound). Call on different students to read
out the verbs on the board and check they pronounce
them correctly. Then, encourage students to use these
past forms in context. Point to a verb and ask a student
to use it in a sentence. For example, you point to rain
as you ask this question: What happened yesterday? (It
rained yesterday.) You point to climb as you ask this
other question: What happened on your last holiday? (I
climbed a high mountain.) and so on. Continue this short
drilling with three or four more items and then you can
ask some volunteers to choose a verb at random and use
it in a sentence.

Audio script 16
Karen: We arrived here in Salvador yesterday. Last night we
stayed at a youth hostel, but it was horrible. So today we
decided to look for another place. We walked for about an
hour and then we stopped in front of a nice-looking hotel.
We went inside and talked to the receptionist. We loved
the place and so decided to stay! Later in the afternoon,
we visited an old church. It was really lovely. After that, we
rented some surfboards and went surfing That was cool!
After dinner, we danced to the sound of Olodum!
I called home to tell Mum we are well and having fun! Now,
its late and I feel really tired.

REFERENCE:

Olodum is an internationally acclaimed Afro-Brazilian


cultural group from the state of Bahia, Brazil. It was
founded in 1979 as a Carnival association highlighting
African heritage and black pride through music, dance,
theatre and art. From their home city of Salvador in
Northeast Brazil (often described as the most African city
in the Americas), Olodum has dedicated itself to cultural

If you have the time, ask students to choose three or four


verbs in the past form to talk about their last holiday. Give
students some time to plan what they are going to say and
how they are going to say it. Offer help so that they can
rehearse with you and feel confident enough to talk to the
class about their last holiday. First, ask one or two model
students to say what they did on their last holiday. Then,
ask as many students as possible to tell you what they did.

6 Before students complete this task, direct their

attention to the Useful Tip box on this page about the


spelling of regular past forms. Afterwards, students
complete the activity using the rules explained in the
box. You may check the answers by choosing three
students to read out each paragraph.

USEFUL TIP:

Spelling (regular past forms): Tell students that we


double the last consonant when the verb ends in
consonant + vowel + consonant, and that when the verb
ends in consonant + y, the y changes to ied. Have
students read the examples in the box. You may write
some more examples on the board (cancel, envy, worry,
tap, carry, plan, etc.) and elicit from students the correct
spelling of the past forms of these verbs.
Answer key: 2. wanted; 3. watched; 4. hated;
5. was; 6. visited; 7. started; 8. played; 9. loved;
10. learned; 11. enjoyed; 12. decided; 13. stopped;
14. ordered; 15. was

After you read out the rubrics, model the activity


with a couple of students by using the example of a
chain game on the page. Explain to students that they
are going to work as a whole group and they have to pay
attention to what their classmates have just said so that
they can repeat it and add another activity connected
with their last holiday. Stop the game when you notice
a student fails to remember. Play the game several
times until you notice most students have been able to
participate. Remind them of the pronunciation of the
past forms if necessary.

Audio script 17
Jake: My First Time at a Summer Camp. By Jake Timberlake.
On the night before, I packed everything I needed to take to
the summer camp: clothes, trainers, sunscreen, a towel, etc.
I didnt have a sleeping bag, so I packed my bed linen a
pillow, sheets and a blanket.
On the following day, the summer camp bus picked me up.
I didnt know the people on the bus but they were very
friendly. We arrived at the camp in the afternoon.
A coordinator welcomed us and showed us to our tents.
The rest of the afternoon, we walked around the place and
planned the activities for the following days.
We had a great time! We walked down the beach, played
football, climbed trees and played games. We didnt check
our emails and we didnt watch TV, but it was fantastic!

Direct students attention to the Sign Up to Grammar


box. Explain that did is a word used in the interrogative
and negative forms in the Simple Past (an auxiliary
word). Also explain that did is used before the subject
to ask a question. You may give examples here or use
the ones in the box. Next, explain that did not (didnt) is
used in negative sentences. Provide some examples or
use the ones in the box. Point out that when we use did
/ didnt, the verb must be in its base form (without ed).
You may elicit this issue if you first write some sentences
on the board and underline the verb phrases for students
to analyse. For example: I didnt go camping last summer
/ Did Anna travel to Paris last year? At this stage, it is a
good idea to write on the board a couple of sentences
in the affirmative form for students to change them
into the interrogative and negative. Then, proceed with
the analysis of short answers. Write a couple of Yes /
No questions on the board and help students come up
with the short answers: Did you go trekking yesterday?
No, I didnt. / Did you go to school yesterday? Yes, I did.
/ Did your mum cook a special meal yesterday? No, she
didnt., etc. Finally, students underline all the examples of
negative phrases in the past in the text in activity 2 on
page 48. Ask some volunteers to read out the examples
they have found.
Answer key: didnt have, didnt know, didnt check,
didnt watch

5 Students read the instructions, look at the example


and complete the activity. Then, check by asking some
volunteers to read aloud the questions and answers.

Answer key: 2. Did you try rafting? No, I didnt.


3. Did you walk on the beach? No, I didnt. 4. Did you
go trekking? Yes, I did. 5. Did you call home every day?
No, I didnt. 6. Did you enjoy your holiday? Yes, I did.
7. Did you check your emails? No, I didnt.

In their notebooks, students write what


activities they think their best friends in the class
did on their last holiday. For classroom management
purposes, it is advisable to ask students to write
sentences about the person sitting next to them
(especially with large groups).
Answer key: Students own answers

Ask students to pair up with the person they


wrote about in the previous activity. Encourage pairs
to take turns to ask and answer questions connected
with the sentences they wrote before. Refer students to
the examples given. Suggest they should keep a record
of how many correct guesses they were able to get to
determine who the winner is. Monitor students work as
you walk around the classroom.

Lesson 4 (CB p. 50)

As a whole group, students share their opinions


and wishes about some typical holiday destinations
they mention. Collect students ideas on the board and
encourage group discussion.

Students read the e-leaflet. Help them out


with the pronunciation of some words they may not
know such as archaeological, superb, etc. Check their
understanding of the text by asking them if they would
like to go to Cancun and what activities they can do
there.

box. Ask students to read the questions and answers in


this box. Then, point out that Wh- questions and Yes
/ No questions are very similar in structure, but that a
Wh- word is placed at the front of Wh- questions. You
may write an example of each kind of question on the
board to illustrate this difference. Ask students a couple
of Yes / No and Wh- questions for them to answer. Then,
encourage students to ask you some similar questions to
check understanding. Now students read Jakes comment
on a blog for tourists and answer the questions. You may
check the answers by asking the questions yourself and
have different students read out the answers.
Draw students attention to the Grammar Reference
section on pages 107 and 108, where they will find
further examples and practice.

ask them to identify in what areas of the world these


places are situated. Write on the board the word ecotourism and elicit what they think it means. Accept all
answers and foster debate among students. Ask them
to provide some other examples of places in their own
country and in the world where they think you can find
some eco-tourism destinations. Then, students read the
instructions for the activity and put a cross next to the
options that do not have to do with this kind of tourism.
Answer key: travelling to big and busy cities, going to
discos and parties, having fun at theme parks

Lesson 1 (CB p. 56)

Write the phrase extreme sports on the board.


Ask the class what extreme sports they know.
If necessary, write one or two examples on the board
such as parasailing and / or parachuting. Another option
to elicit extreme sports names might be to have
students look at the photos on this page. As students
come up with some possible answers, you may write
them down on the board under three categories: land,
air and water sports.

Answer key: Students own answers

REFERENCE:

Parasailing is an extreme sport in which a person is lifted


up and through the air by a special parachute that is
towed by a motorboat. Parachuting is an extreme sport
in which a person jumps from an aircraft in free fall
before pulling the ripcord of a parachute or canopy that
will retard the descent making it slow.

in activity 2 with the photos. Then, choose some students


at random to say what number corresponds to each picture
from top left to bottom right. It is advisable that students
say the number along with the name of the sports in each
photo so that they practise their correct pronunciation.
Answer key: from top left to bottom right: 1, 5, 2, 3, 6, 4

Tell students that they are going to listen to


two people talking about the summer camp in the ad.
Students may take down notes as they listen to the audio
CD and pay attention to who of the two speakers enjoys
risky sports the most. This will help them especially if you
assign the Optional Activity explained afterwards. Play
the audio CD twice if necessary. Then, check by having
students discuss the answer as a whole group.
19

Answer key: Max

Audio script 19
Speaker: Speaker 1, Max
Max: Last summer I spent two weeks there and I loved it. The sports
I loved were parasailing, whitewater rafting and mountain
biking. I really want to buy my own mountain bike now! I might
go back next year, but Id really like to try some other extreme
sports like skiing and snowboarding. I know its expensive, but
perhaps my parents will take me to Aspen next year.
Speaker: Speaker 2, Julie
Julie: I heard about Tahoe Extreme Youth Sports Camp from my

cousin. She went there two years ago and she said it was
great, so I wanted to go too. Some of the activities were a
bit scary, so I didnt do everything. The best thing was I met
lots of people and made lots of friends. We had so much fun
together. We became so close that I still talk to a lot of them
today. We often talk on MSN and write emails. Id definitely
like to go back next year. I hope Mum lets me!

OPTIONAL ACTIVITY:

After doing activity 4, write Max and Julie on the board


and encourage students to look at the notes they took
while listening to the audio CD. Then, ask students what
Max and Julie did at the extreme sports summer camp and
what activities they enjoyed most. Ask some volunteers
to say the activities Max and Julie did, and to come up
to the board and write them below each name. In this
way, students practise the pronunciation and spelling of
some extreme sports. After this, you may also ask them
why Julie didnt enjoy all the activities and what Max
would like to do in the future. Then, you may foster a class
discussion by asking: What about you? Would you like to do
the same activities as Max and Julie did? Why? / Why not?
Answer key: Max: He enjoyed parasailing, whitewater
rafting and mountain biking. Hed like to buy a
mountain bike, go back to the camp next year and try
other sports such as skiing and snowboarding.
Julie: She didnt do all the activities because some were
scary. She enjoyed meeting a lot of people and making
new friends.

tell them that the time expressions in the box are used
when we refer to past events and that they are normally
used in sentences with the Simple Past. After students
have underlined all the time expressions and irregular
verbs in the past in the texts in this activity, choose two
students to help you check the answers: one writes on the
board the time expressions and the other writes the verbs.

Lesson-by-lesson plans

Before doing this reading task, ask students what


they expect to see or do at a summer camp (a site where
care and activities are provided for youths or children
during the summer months).Then, tell them they are going
to read a summer camp ad. Have a student read out the
rubrics. As students read the text silently, walk around
the class offering help with the vocabulary they might
not understand. Before students answer the questions,
you may write on the board the extreme sports names
mentioned in the ad to practise saying them. Students
repeat the words after you so that they become aware
of their correct pronunciation. Then, students discuss the
questions in this activity as a whole group.

Mike: Last year I went snowboarding in Aspen. I really enjoyed
myself for the first five days, but then I had a pretty bad
accident. I decided to go down a black slope - you know, the
most difficult area, but it was a very stupid idea. I wasnt
ready and so I fell badly and almost had an accident. The
really silly thing was I didnt have a helmet. I didnt think

Speaker: Speaker 3, Tom


Tom: A few weeks ago, I took my bike to the park to practise a
bit on the ramp. I didnt see there was a skateboarder there
and well crash we had a horrible accident. We both hurt
ourselves, but luckily we didnt need to go to the hospital.
I wasnt wearing knee pads, so I cut my knee pretty badly and
he hurt his back. I felt really bad because it was my fault. Im
much more careful now.

Lesson 2 (CB p. 59)

Tell students that they will find out what kind


of accidents the three friends in exercise 3 had. Ask
students to read the instructions and complete the three
charts. After they have completed the task, choose three
students to read out each sentence.
Answer key: 2. swam; 3. fell; 4. hit; 5. hurt;
6. cut; 7. hurt

OPTIONAL ACTIVITY:

Simple Past Bingo: Before the lesson, write on a piece of


paper at least fifteen infinitive verbs whose past forms
students have learnt so far. Then, record yourself saying
their past forms twice (for example: went / went, studied /
studied, etc.) Bring the recording to class. Write on the
board the name of the game and the infinitives you have
written on the piece of paper but in a different order.
Ask students to draw a bingo card in their notebooks
like this one:
went

Then, ask them to choose nine of the infinitives on the


board, turn them into their past forms and write these
past forms down in each square of the bingo card as in

5 Write on the board the example sentence in the

Sign Up to Grammar box: Peter hurt himself. Underline


the subject (Peter) and the object of the verb (himself).
Tell students that the reflexive pronoun (himself) refers
to Peter and that we use reflexive pronouns when the
subject and the object of the verb are the same.
Then, read the reflexive pronouns in the box in isolation
so that students become aware of their correct
pronunciation. Now, tell students to read the box.
Meanwhile, write the following on the board: Jack and
Mike cut
on some coral. Ask students to
say the correct reflexive pronoun (themselves). Make sure
they notice that the plural form of reflexive pronouns is
with the ending lves. Finally, ask students to complete
the sentences in activity 5 with the correct reflexive
pronouns. Check this activity by asking the whole class to
tell you the answers.
Answer key: 1. herself; 2. themselves; 3. himself;
4. ourselves; 5. myself; 6. yourselves
For further practice and examples, tell students to refer
to the Grammar Reference section on page 109.

Have a student read out the rubrics. Ask


students to work in pairs. You may tell the pairs to
pretend that one of them is a sports journalist / reporter
and the other a famous sportsperson who competes
in triathlons. Walk around the class while students
interview their partners. Encourage them to swap roles.
If needed, help them out with the vocabulary and / or
pronunciation.

Speaker: Speaker 2, Jackie


Jackie: Two years ago, I went scuba diving, and I cut myself pretty
badly. You see, I forgot to bring my gloves and so when
I touched a sharp bit of coral, I cut my finger. The cut wasnt
very serious, but the problem was blood. As everyone knows,
blood attracts sharks and there were a lot of sharks in the area,

Lesson 3 (CB p. 60)

Write the phrase water sports on the board and


elicit from the class some examples. Write down the
examples around the phrase water sports. Then, read out
the questions in this activity and tell students to share
their answers with the whole class. Encourage students
to be as specific as possible regarding their swimming
experiences: (when they learnt how to swim, who taught
them, if they ever took any swimming lessons and when,
etc.) If students have not done any water sports, ask
them to talk about the ones they have practised.
Answer key: Students own answers

2 Before passing on to the activity itself, you may

read out the list of sports so that students become


aware of the correct pronunciation. Make sure students
understand the meaning of all the words in the list. You
can bring some dictionaries to class for students to look
up the new words. Then, tell them to read the rubrics
carefully and do the task. Check they have understood
what they are expected to do. Finally, foster a class
discussion by asking why different students prefer, for
instance, swimming to water skiing according to what
each student has answered.

Draw students attention to the Sign Up to Grammar


box. Explain to them how we ask Yes / No questions in
the Simple Past using irregular verbs: Did + subject +
verb...? and how we can give short answers to these
questions. Write a couple of affirmative sentences on the
board using an irregular verb in the Simple Past and ask
students to provide the corresponding Yes / No questions
and some possible short answers. Next, explain to them
how we make negative sentences in the Simple Past
using irregular verbs (did not / didnt). Follow the same
procedure: write some affirmative sentences using an
irregular verb in the Simple Past and ask some students
to change them into the negative form. Ask them to read
the Remember! box too, so that they do not forget how
we ask questions and make negative sentences using
was and were. Finally, students read the interview with
Bethany and fill in the blanks. Ask some volunteers to
read out the answers.

Audio script 24
Dr Morris: Music therapy isnt really a modern technique but
it can help people with health and behaviour problems. For
example, aggressive people can learn to listen to classical or
new age music and play or do their everyday activities at the
same time. These types of music have very relaxing effects
and can help people have a more peaceful life. Aggressive
people can learn to appreciate music through simple games
and amusing activities like acting, improvising and singing.
Music therapy can also help people with serious health
problems and people who suffer from depression. There are
some music styles that are more energetic than new age
and classical music. For example, hip hop, rap and salsa.
Dancing and singing to the rhythm of these music styles can
make people feel more joyful and less depressed. Singing
and dancing can be combined with simple exercises that
together can be effective tools to combat depression and
many illnesses.

Ask a student to read out the rubrics. Then, give


students a minute to read the statements in the exercise.
Finally, play the audio CD for students to be able to
tick the option they hear. To check this task, ask some

Lesson 3 (CB p. 72)

Before carrying out this speaking activity, you may


write on the board big cities and small towns. Then, ask
students what cities / towns they visited last year or last
summer. Write students answers on the board around big
cities or small towns accordingly. Also encourage them
to say what they liked about these places, what they did
not like and why. Write on the board all the adjectives
students may mention when explaining some reasons and
circle them. Leave these adjectives on the board so that
you can refer to them if you decide to do the optional
activity explained further on.

2 Choose a student to read out the rubrics. Tell the class


to have a quick look at all the adjectives in this activity
to check understanding. Meanwhile, write on the board
all the adjectives in the list one below the other (but not
the ones in the box), i.e. noisy, fast, etc. Ask students to
do the task. To check answers, call on different students
to read aloud each pair of opposite adjectives and come
to the board to complete the list. In this way, they will be
practising and checking spelling and pronunciation.
Answer key: 1. quiet; 2. slow; 3. dangerous; 4. clean;
5. hot; 6. expensive

OPTIONAL ACTIVITY:

If you have the time, ask students to copy the big cities
and small towns word maps that you designed on the
board when you did activity 1. Have students add at least
two more adjectives from activity 2 to the word maps.
Then, ask them to write two sentences comparing two of
the cities or towns in the word maps, for instance: Mar
del Plata is noisier and more expensive than San Clemente
del Tuy. Finally, students share their sentences with
the rest of the class. You can also provide (or elicit) the
opposites of any other adjectives that are in the word
maps and that are different from the ones in activity 2.
Answer key: Students own answers

Before students read the charts, you may give


them some information about Stratford-upon-Avon (a
town in the south of England where Shakespeare was born
in 1564) and the city of Los Angeles (the most populous
city in the state of California in the USA). If possible, you
can also bring to class a map of the USA and a map of
the UK to show students where these places are located.
Then, have students do silent reading of the charts in this
exercise. While they do so, walk around the class to make
sure they understand the facts both charts provide.

Now that students have read the information about


LA and Stratford-upon-Avon, ask them to tick the correct
statements. If you have the time, ask students to provide
the right information for the incorrect statements.
Answer key: 1, 5

You can do this task as a whole group activity.


Have students read silently the statements in the exercise.

52

Ask the class to say which statement refers to LA and which


to Stratford-upon-Avon. Then, tell students to work in pairs
to decide where they would like to live and why, and also to
think what their own city is famous for. Finally, each pair of
students may share their ideas with the rest of the class.
Answer key: 1. Stratford-upon-Avon; 2. Los Angeles

Lesson 3 (CB p. 73)

6 Before passing on to the activity itself, write on the

board: quiet, nice, dirty and big. Ask students to read the
rules for the comparative form of short adjectives in the
Sign Up to Grammar box. Choose four students to say
and write on the board the comparative forms of the four
adjectives you wrote before. Make sure the whole class
understand that, in general, we add er to most short
adjectives but only an r if they end in e. Lay emphasis
on the fact that y becomes ier and that we double
the last consonant if the adjective ends in vowel +
consonant. Write some examples on the board to clarify
these ideas and check understanding. Then, you can ask
students to think of how LA compares with Stratford and
answer this question: How can we continue this sentence
if we want to compare these two cities?: There are more...
Ask them to read the Remember! section in the box to
give you the answer. Finally, students do activity 6. To
check it, divide the board into six sections and number
them from 1 to 6. Ask six volunteers to read out their
sentences and then write them on the board in the
corresponding sections. In this way, you will be checking
pronunciation and spelling of the comparative forms.
Answer key: 1. Los Angeles is noisier than Stratfordupon-Avon. 2. The traffic is heavier in LA than in
Stratford. 3. Stratford is safer than LA.
4. The temperature is hotter in Iguaz than in Ushuaia.
5. There is more pollution in Buenos Aires than in
Mendoza. 6. There are more cars in Los Angeles than
in Las Vegas.

7 Tell students that they are going to complete some

phrases typically used to give and ask for opinion. Have


students read the instructions and do the exercise. Then,
choose different students to read out their answers.
Answer key: 2. opinion; 3. sure; 4. do you think;
5. agree; 6. dont agree

Ask students to read Simons blog post silently.


Walk around the class and offer help with the meaning
of some new words. After some minutes, ask the class
to tell you what Simon says on his blog. In this way, you
will be checking their reading comprehension. Then, ask
different students to read out the statements below the
text and encourage the whole class to re-read the blog
post in order to do the reading comprehension activity.
Choose different students to say if the statements are
true, false or if they do not know. Then, ask some other
students to correct the false statements. As a follow-up,
you can ask students to observe the spelling of these
words in the text: theater and center. Tell them that this

text was written by an American man and that words


ending in re in British English are spelled with er in
American English. Comment on some other spelling
differences: colour (BE) and color (AE); travelled (BE) and
traveled (AE); etc.
Answer key: 1. T; 2. F. He moved to LA because there
are better job opportunities there. 3. T; 4. ?; 5. F.
He cant imagine going back to live in a small town.

Direct students attention to the Sign Up to


Grammar box on page 75. Tell them that there are some
adjectives that have an irregular comparative form, i.e.
they change completely. Give them a minute or two
to read the box. For students to become aware of the
pronunciation of these irregular comparatives, you may
read aloud each adjective in the box and its comparative
form. Then, ask students to read the instructions and the
gapped sentences for the listening task. Later on, play the
audio CD so that they can complete these sentences. If
needed, play the audio CD twice. To check this task, you
may ask the whole class: Whats Karen job?; What kind
of shop does she have?; What does she think about job
opportunities in big cities?; What about traffic, violence
and crime in LA?

really much to do here, but I like my town. It has everything
I need: good weather, fresh air, beautiful mountains and lakes,
nice shops and lots of green areas where you can walk around
and relax. I know there are better job opportunities in big
cities like LA, New York and Miami but Im very happy with
my job in this area. I work as a vet and I also have my own pet
shop in the city center. Many people come to me when their
dogs, cats and even cows and sheep are ill. There are many
ranches in the area, you know. I know I would never leave
Black Mountain. Im too much attached to it. My friend Simon
moved to LA last year. I know hes happy but crime, violence
and traffic congestion in the streets of LA are worse than in
some other big cities in the US. I really dont know if Simon
made the right decision in going to live there. I miss him a lot!

Angie: I have a very unusual pet: a humming bird. Her name is
Lily. Lily doesnt live in a cage; she is free, but she lives in the
backyard of my house. This is incredible, as she doesnt need
to live in only one place! For this reason, I dont need to take
care of her. She drinks nectar from the flowers in the garden.
Humming birds are one of the smallest and most colourful
bird species. They can fly by flapping their wings very
quickly, about 80 times per second! Thats why humming
birds have to eat many times a day to survive, as they need
a lot of energy.

Students read the instructions and look at

a really good friend should have. Write their answers
on the board. Then, as a whole group, students discuss
which are the top five qualities. Encourage students to
use these expressions: I (dont)think; I believe; In my

Check students answers by asking the whole class to
identify who is who. Ask students to account for their
choices.
30

Answer key: 1. Tyler; 2. Joshua

Lesson 1 (CB p. 93)

Speaker: Joshua and Tyler are old friends, but they couldnt be
more different from each other. Joshuas a great guy. Hes
strong, athletic and he really loves outdoor life. Joshuas
always in a good mood, you know, hes the kind of person
who is always smiling and ready to give you a hand. Hes
sincere and always worried about his friend Tyler.
Tyler is a great guy too. Hes honest and good-hearted but
hes lazy, very lazy. He doesnt study much; he doesnt do
any sports The only thing he really likes doing is playing
computer games

Ask students what qualities from the previous


listening activity they remember. Then, read out the
rubrics and students tick the qualities for Joshua and
Tyler. Encourage students to decide, if they do not
remember, which qualities are more suitable to describe
the boys in the photos in activity 2. Check answers by
playing the audio CD again, pausing at the end of each
description and interacting with the whole class by
asking: What can you say about Joshua?; Whats he like?;
And what about Tyler?
Answer key: 1. J; 2. T; 3. T; 4. J; 5.T; 6. J

Tell students that now they are going to read a


dialogue where Joshua makes some predictions about Tylers
future, but first they need to focus their attention on the
Sign Up to Grammar box on page 93. Read aloud one of the
affirmative sentences in this box and one negative sentence.
You may also write these sentences on the board and
underline will / wont and the verbs. Tell students that will is
used to make affirmative sentences in the future and wont
(or will not) to make negative ones. Add that both will and
wont are followed by an infinitive verb. Make sure students
understand that we use the Simple Future (will + verb) to
talk about the future and to make predictions. You may
ask a couple of students to provide some more examples
to reinforce these concepts. Afterwards, students read the
whole box silently. Finally, students read the instructions for
activity 4 and tick the correct statements. You may ask two
students to read out the dialogue before checking answers.
Then, ask the whole class: Which are the correct statements?
Answer key: 1, 4

Grammar: Read out the tip in the first box. Have


students repeat the future time expressions after you so
that they become aware of the correct pronunciation of
these expressions.

USEFUL TIP:

Pronunciation: Read out the tip in the second box.


Have students repeat several times the short form wont
in isolation first. Then, read out the examples and ask
students to repeat them after you. Make sure they do not
pronounce wont in the same way they pronounce want,
which is a typical mistake usually made by students. You
may also work on the pronunciation of some affirmative
short forms too: Ill; Shell; etc. Write some sentences
on the board using wont and ll and ask different
students to practise saying them.

Students read the rubrics silently and unscramble the


four sentences. Check answers by asking four students at
random to come up to the board and write down the four
sentences.
Answer key: 1. Joshua will marry a beautiful girl
someday. 2. He will graduate from a top university in
the future. 3. He wont stop practising sports.
4. He wont stop going out with friends.

OPTIONAL ACTIVITY:

Write on the board two sentences about your own future,


one using will and another one using wont. One of the
sentences must be true for you. Ask the class which one
they think is true and which one false. Encourage them
to use phrases such as: I think you will (wont) because;
I dont think youll because; etc. Then, ask students to
work in pairs and carry out a similar activity with their
partners. Walk around the classroom to monitor students
performance and pronunciation. Finally, different pairs
may share with the rest of the class what they found out
about their partners.

Students read the instructions and do the activity.


As students do so, write on the board the words in the
two columns as they appear on the course book page.
To check answers, ask some volunteers to come up to
the board and match the columns to get some common
phrases in English.

Ask students to read the Sign Up to Grammar


box on page 95. Give them some minutes and then elicit
how we build the interrogative form of the Simple Future
by asking: Where do we place the person / subject when
we ask a question in the Simple Future? Afterwards, check
understanding by asking a couple of students some Yes /
No and Wh- questions. Draw students attention to the
rising intonation in Yes / No questions and the falling
intonation in Wh- questions. Finally, ask a volunteer to
read out the instructions for activity 2. Read aloud the
introductory paragraph of the text. Have students repeat
after you the Yes / No questions in it so that they can
practise the correct intonation. Choose different students
to read aloud the remaining paragraphs. If necessary, help
them out with the meaning and pronunciation of those
words that might be new to them such as gypsies, thumb,
edge, etc. Ask the whole class to look at the Useful Tip
box at the bottom of the page as they read on. After
reading the complete text, ask the whole group which
palm line each paragraph refers to. In this way, you will
be doing and checking the activity at the same time.

asking the whole class or a couple of students some Yes /
No questions such as: Are there three main lines on our
palms?; Do all three lines tell us about our love life?; etc.

Students underline all the examples of the


interrogative form of the Simple Future in the text in
activity 2. Choose four students to read out the examples
they have underlined in the four different paragraphs.

work? Will your life be long and healthy?

5 Students unscramble Tylers questions to Joshua and

write some possible answers. Choose different students to


read aloud the four questions and the possible answers.
After each student has finished reading, you may ask him /
her: What about you?; What do you think?; Will your
parents send you to live abroad in the future?, etc. This is
an optional task. However, if you decide to include it, you
will be turning the topic into something more personalised
for students and they will have more chances to practise.
Answer key: 2. Will my parents send me to live
abroad? Students own answers; 3. Will I get a job
someday? Students own answers; 4. Where will I
work in the future? Students own answers; 5. When
will Lucy fall in love with me? Students own answers

Students read the instructions and start working


in pairs. Walk around the class to check students are
asking and answering questions in the correct way. If
you have the time, after students have finished working,
ask as many pairs as possible to share some of their
coincidences and differences with the rest of the class.
You may provide some examples such as: Both of us think
Ill travel abroad next year. I think Ill go to university
someday but he / she thinks I wont.

that, read out the questions for this activity and write
on the board the species students mention. You may
give an example of one of the many endangered species
today, for example: the African elephant. If students do
not know any reason for animal extinction to take place
today, provide them with some clues such as: illegal
hunting, deforestation and habitat loss and reduction,
etc. If necessary, explain the meaning of these words /
phrases and write them down on the board. You might
also ask the whole class for their opinion about what can
be done to stop animal extinction happening (more strict
regulations and control, advertising campaigns, etc.)
Answer key: Students own answers

Read aloud the rubrics for this task and the article
heading. Explain that dying out means disappearing. Read
out the sentences where the highlighted words / phrases
are. Have students repeat these phrases after you and help
them understand their meaning. Then, foster some prereading prediction by asking: What do you think this article
will tell you about? (Expected answers: endangered species;
the reasons why these species are at risk of disappearing
and what can be done to prevent animal extinction) Finally,
students read the article silently and tick the correct
statements. Do not check answers at this stage. Just
encourage students to compare their answers in pairs and
then you provide them with the right answers.
Answer key: 2, 3

3 Have a student read aloud the rubrics and the example.


Suggest that students should read the whole sentence in
the text in activity 2 where the phrase / word in question
appears because the context will help them to understand
meaning. Also, the verb forms in some of the definitions
will help them to choose the right word from the text.

about Going to (for future plans). Check understanding by


asking some questions such as: What are you going to do
this afternoon, (Leo)? What are your plans? And what about
you, (Maxi)? / Is it going to be rainy tomorrow, (Fede)? What
do you think? Look out of the window! / What are you going
to do when you finish school, (Mariano)? Then, ask students
to read about the Present Continuous (for arrangements).
Check understanding by asking: What are you doing next
weekend, (Paula)? Is it all arranged? Did you arrange the
time and place where you are (meeting your friends)? /
And what about you, (Sofa)?; etc. Make sure students
understand that, in this case, the Present Continuous refers
to previously arranged future, that is to say, you have
already set the time and place (with another person or
not) beforehand. Provide as many examples as needed so
that students can grasp this use. Now, ask students to read
the instructions for activity 4 and have a quick look at the
text before you play the audio CD. Students will then listen
to an expert in wildlife conservation and fill in the blanks
in the text with only one word. Play the audio CD twice.
You can check answers by playing the audio CD once more
and pausing it after every answer. Ask the whole class to
tell you the answers.
Draw students attention to the Grammar Reference
section on page 111, where they will find further
examples and practice.

Dr Chandler: No. But Dolly was the first big mammal to be


cloned successfully.
Interviewer: Lots of people sent us emails asking if its possible
to use cloning to bring extinct species, like the dinosaurs,
back to life.
Dr Chandler: Thats impossible. Only animals that are alive can
be cloned.
Interviewer: Ok. So there will never be a Jurassic Park?
Dr Chandler: No. That wont happen. What is true is that
human cells and organs can be cloned and that is extremely
important because cloned cells might reduce the need for
animals in experiments. And cloned organs may be used for
transplants in the future.
Interviewer: Thats great news! Thats a fantastic therapeutic
use of cloning.

Task 1: Read the following article about three restaurants in different parts of the world.
Are the sentences below true (T) or false (F)? (10 marks)

World Cuisine Magazine

Photocopiable Ediciones Santillana S.A. / Richmond 2012

In this months issue, World Cuisine Magazine would like to present three
of the most unusual eating places in the world. Read on and find out why!

The Ugly Duckling

El Mar

Sarakawa

This 250-year-old pub is in


Stepney, an ancient village near
London. The owner of The Ugly
Duckling, Jack Thompson, is
an extraordinary chef. He cooks
food that is delicious but it can
also be a bit strange. Theres
meat, chicken and fish on the
menu, but also some more
unusual things like garlic and egg
ice cream!

Some people think that the chef at


this restaurant, Pedro Gonzlez, is
the best cook in the world. El Mar
is on the eastern coast of Spain,
about forty minutes by car from
Barcelona and it has wonderful
views of the sea. Its not easy to
get a reservation as its only open
during spring and summer and
there are very few tables: just
fifteen. But the food is spectacular!
The menu has a lot of traditional
fish and vegetable dishes, but its
especially famous
for its weird
food items
like toasted
bread
with oil and
chocolate!

This is a very expensive restaurant


indeed. It was the first steakhouse
to open in Kyoto and its famous
for its meat dishes. The meat
comes from cows that live near
Hiroshima and the secret for its
yummy taste is because the cows
drink beer and not only water! At
Sarakawa you dont eat meat with
salads or chips. These special
meat dishes come with only some
salt, pepper and lettuce on top!

FCC, also known as The Cat House,


is organising a special event called
Summer Tour. It will be open for
everyone, but especially for groups

about endangered species and how to


help to preserve them and a delicious
lunch in the open air very close to the
felines area. The Summer Tour opens

of students from any school who


would like to know about wildlife
conservation and for everyone who
gave money or donated something
to this organisation. This event will
include a tour around the site, a talk

next 22 June, so if you want to meet


Molly, Sam and their wild friends,
you can make a reservation now by
sending an email at: fcc@gnet.org or
calling 661 2536868.

t the Feline Conservation Centre


(FCC) in Rosamond, California,
there is a special project called
Mission Big Cats. The idea is to
preserve tigers, pumas and lions and
save them from hunters and traders
in different parts of the world. This
centre does not get any financial help
from the government but from people
interested in wildlife. Last week, two
injured tigers arrived at the centre.
The felines were rescued from an
illegal animal trading organisation
and now the centres vets are taking
care of them. These tigers names are
Molly and Sam. Those are the names
the FCC staff chose for them as
soon as the big cats got to the centre.
Molly and Sam now have their own
space with a pool and lots of trees
and green grass. The vets say the
tigers will get well soon.

0 Molly and Sam are pumas.

at weekends. Finally, I can see that your mum doesnt
let you play computer games very often. I think that you
should help her with the housework more often and you
should try to be a good student too. These things usually
make mothers feel very happy. I hope you can find a
solution to all these problems very soon!

Hi, Lucy
I came back from the mountains yesterday. I really

met new people. I arrived in Mendoza last Wednesday at
noon. I had a quick lunch at the hotel and swam in the
hotel swimming pool. At night, I went to a pub near the
hotel. The following day, I went rafting and I met two
very cool boys, Timothy and Greg. We spent many hours
together by the river. We had a picnic and talked a lot.
The rest of the days, we did a lot of activities together
like trekking and parachuting in the mountains. We went
on a city tour and had lunch or dinner at some nice pubs
and restaurants in the city centre. We had a lot of fun
together and now I have two new friends!
Write back soon and tell me about your holiday! Did
you enjoy it? What did you do? Tell me everything!
Love,
Tommy

also provides opportunities for self-evaluation: for each
Grammar Reference topic, students may circle one out
of three emoticons (happy, neutral or sad faces) that
appear next to each grammar chart to show whether
they understand the grammar topic very well, well or not
very well. Self-evaluation may contribute to developing

Project Work Activities

Project Work Activities


PROJECT WORK 1 (UNITS 1 & 2)
Title: Our Online Takeaway Shop
Task: (As it appears on the Students Interactive CD-

ROM) Work in groups. Design a leaflet with a menu (or


several alternative menus) for your online takeaway shop.
Dont forget to include prices and some big pictures of
the food you offer! Think of a name for your shop and
include a set of instructions on how to order a meal
online. You can also think of some special deals on your
meals for your customers. Exchange menus with another
group and decide within your group what meals you are
going to order from your classmates shop.

Procedure: (As it appears on the Students Interactive

CD-ROM) Make a group oral presentation of your online


takeaway shop. Talk about your shop, the meals you
offer, the special deals you have and how to order online.
It may be a good idea to make a big poster of your
leaflet for all the students in your class to look at as you
present. Then, give your leaflet to another group who
must decide what meals to order from your shop.

Assessment: Groups take turns to make an oral

presentation of their online takeaway shops. There


may be some possible variations in the presentation
techniques used by students (from cardboard posters
to PDF documents that can be printed). As the students
present, the teacher makes notes and provides some
feedback at the end. Once the presentation is finished,
students must exchange their leaflet with another group
who have already made their presentation. After the last
presentation, all groups can start deciding what meals
they are going to order from the leaflets they received.
Circulate around the class and monitor students oral
work as they do this last activity.

Variation: You might also decide to have the class

ask the presenters some questions: Whats the name of


your online takeaway shop?; What kind of food do you
offer? ; How can we order food online?; Do you have any
special deals this month?; etc. This is recommended in
those cases when you notice the students feel a bit
embarrassed to talk in public.

PROJECT WORK 2 (UNITS 3 & 4)


Title: Our Top 3 Eco-tourism Hotspots
Task: (As it appears on the Students Interactive

CD-ROM) Work in groups. Search the Web for some


information on three different eco-tourism destinations
in your country or in some other area of the world. Make
a group oral presentation of these three places using
pictures, a big poster or a PowerPoint presentation. Talk
about where these places are, how you can get there, the
activities you can do and the clothes you should pack
before leaving.

Procedure: (As it appears on the Students Interactive


CD-ROM) Within your group decide how you are going
to present your three eco-tourism hotspots (using a big
poster, colourful pictures, a PowerPoint presentation, etc.)
Decide how many of you are going to talk about the first
place, how many about the second and how many about
the third. Make sure all of you have something to say when
you make your oral presentation. It is a good idea to plan
in advance what you are going to say about these three
places and how you are going to say it. You can ask your
teacher to help you. If you decide to prepare a PowerPoint

three eco-tourism hotspots. Encourage all the students


in the groups to contribute to their oral presentations by
offering help (asking questions, providing useful words
and expressions, etc.) especially to those students who do
not seem to be saying much. As the students present, the
teacher makes notes and provides some feedback at the
end. It is probably a good idea to assign the last minutes
of different classes for this oral presentation activity.

Variation: You might also decide to have the class ask

the presenters some questions: Whats the name of your


first eco-tourism hotspot?; Where is it? ; How can you get
there?; What activities can you do there?; What clothes
should we take with us?; etc. This is recommended in
those cases when you notice the students feel a bit
embarrassed to talk in public.

Procedure: (As it appears on the Students Interactive


CD-ROM) Design a schedule of activities for a twoday extreme sports competition that must also include
some social activities for the sportspeople who are
going to participate. This schedule can be a leaflet
or a poster including the dates and the name of your
event. Also, think of two cities in your country where
this sports event could be organised and compare the
possibilities both cities offer. Decide what city is the
best. Make a chart where you can show the advantages
and disadvantages of both places. You can use colourful
pictures for your chart. Finally, make a group oral
presentation of your proposal for a two-day extreme
sports competition including the schedule of activities,
the two places you selected for this event and your final
decision about the best location. Make sure all of you in
your group have something to say when you present. It is
a good idea to plan in advance what you are going to say
about your proposal and how you are going to say it. You
can ask your teacher to help you.
Assessment: Groups take turns to make their oral

presentations of their proposals for an extreme sports


competition. Encourage all the students in the groups
to contribute to their oral presentations by offering
help (asking questions, providing useful words and
expressions, etc.) especially to those students who do
not seem to be saying much. As the students present,
the teacher makes notes and provides some feedback
at the end. Once the presentation is finished, students
may display their charts and schedules on the classroom
walls. It is probably a good idea to assign the last
minutes of different classes for this oral activity. On
the last day, groups can remind the whole class of their
proposals and students can vote for the best extreme
sports competition.

Variation: You might also decide to ask the groups to

present their proposals in writing after they have made


their oral presentations.

PROJECT WORK 4 (UNITS 7 & 8)


Title: Our Predictions Blog
Task: (As it appears on the Students Interactive CD-

ROM) Work in groups. Within your group discuss what


you imagine life in your country will be like in twenty
years time. Jot down some ideas connected with different
issues: work, TV and films, gadgets, political leaders,
transportation, money problems, family, celebrities,
houses, sports, etc. Select four or five of these issues (the
ones you have more to say about) and make a big poster
(or design a blog or a PowerPoint presentation) including
pictures and some comments to illustrate the predictions
you made. You can make several predictions for each of
the categories you selected. Share your predictions with
the rest of the class by making a group oral presentation.

Procedure: (As it appears on the Students Interactive

CD-ROM) Make a big poster (or design a blog or a


PowerPoint presentation) containing different sections
for the issues on which you will make your predictions.
Give each section a name and illustrate them with
pictures, drawings, etc. Use bullet points to write some
comments for your predictions. These comments will help
you with your oral presentation. Make sure all of you in
your group have something to say when you present. It
is a good idea to plan in advance what you are going to
say about your predictions and how you are going to say
it. You can ask your teacher to help you. If you decide to
design a blog or a PowerPoint presentation, you can show
it to your classmates using a notebook / netbook and a
data projector.

one, the most original one, the least probable one, etc.
