Dear Student,
Welcome to the English Discoveries Student Workbook – Basic31.

This workbook is especially for you! It will help you use, practice and progress in English.
Each unit of the workbook corresponds directly to a unit in the English Discoveries Basic 1 course.
You should use this workbook together with the course. For example, after you do the Listening
section from the course, we recommend you do the Listening section in the workbook. Your workbook
also contains copies of the Explore texts from the English Discoveries course, so you can refer to its
content when you are away from the computer.
Each unit in the workbook has four sections: Listening, Reading, Speaking and Grammar.
• The Listening section will help you practice your listening skills. A variety of genres such as voice
mail messages, radio programs and TV video clips are included.
• The Reading section will reinforce your understanding of different kinds of reading texts such as
postcards, ads, stories and newspaper articles.
• The Speaking section will give you the opportunity to practice different speaking functions such as
ordering a meal in a restaurant, asking for directions, making suggestions, etc.
• The Grammar section will help you practice the main points of the online unit within the context of
the unit theme. This way you will learn to use grammar structures in real-life situations.
Special emphasis has been given throughout the workbook to speaking and writing activities and you
will see that you have a lot of opportunity to express yourself in both spoken and written English.
We hope you enjoy using this program and wish you lots of luck!
The English Discoveries Team

Dear Yvonne,
Thanks for your postcard. I’m really pleased
that you’ve decided to take the job. I’m sure
you will do very well.
I am still looking for a location for the T-
shirt factory, but it’s not easy to find the
right place. I want a small or medium-sized
factory that is not too expensive. I also want
it to be not too far from the center of town,
but not too close either because I don’t want
to be in traffic jams every morning.
I prefer to buy the factory rather than rent
it. That way we can do what we like with it. I
will let you know when I find something.
Regards,
Arlene
Factory Description:
1. A big factory that is in the center of town. It’s for sale, but the price is very high.
2. A small factory that is in the center of town, and the rent is cheap.
3. A medium-sized factory that is not far from the center of town and is for
sale at quite a cheap price.
