IntroductionWelcome to English for Success 3. This introduction:
• describes how the course meets the needs of students and
teachers
• outlines the principles on which the materials were developed
• describes the course and its components
ENGLISH FOR SUCCESS 3 FOR
STUDENTSEnglish for Success 3 is a course for upper secondary students. It is
aimed at fifteen to seventeen-year-old students. The age range has
been fundamental in defining the most important features of the
course.
Students at this age are at the peak of their
cognitive development.
They learn best when they are encouraged to use discoverytechniques and engage with interesting topics related to their age. In
common with learners in all age groups, they need a lot of recycling
to internalise and acquire the new grammar, vocabulary and functional
language input, but they can also deal with big chunks of new
material.
Students at this age want to learn about the world.
English for Success 3 has a highly educational content. It not only
teaches English but also provides students with information about the
culture of English-speaking countries and the world at large. It
provides interesting and engaging exercises and texts that deal with
citizenship issues, literature, history, geography, art, science and
technology as well as the challenges of everyday life.
Students at this age are young adults who want to
be independent in their learning.
English for Success 3 promotes maturity in its approach to learning
through self-assessment strategies, topics and tasks which
encourage the learner to think about what they read, rather than just
respond to it.
English for Success 3 provides everything students of English need to
cross the border between their school life and the outside world. All
English language exams now follow Common European Framework
requirements, which means that they are skills-oriented with a
special emphasis on communication. English for Success 3 has a
very strong skills syllabus and task types from different exams are
practised throughout the course.
ENGLISH FOR SUCCESS 3 FOR
TEACHERS
Lesson preparationThe format of the units in the Student’s Book guarantees successfullessons. Clear headings and the logical sequencing of exercises
ensure that English for Success 3 will be very easy for you to teach
from with little preparation.
Further support is given in the Teacher’s Book with ideas for warm-
ups and extra activities.
Evaluation and assessment
Monitoring students’ progress is particularly important. Students
need to be confident that they can pass the relevant tests at each
stage of their learning.
English for Success 3 provides you with one test per unit to assess
different skills. End matter includes 6 photocopiable tests, speaking testtasks, speaking and writing criteria, with their corresponding criteria.
Self assessment
Self assessment activities help students become aware of what they
have done throughout each unit. It also encourages them to reflect on
their learning processes as they check what they have learnt and
what they need to keep on working on to achieve fully. Self assessment
is more usually used as part of a formative assessment process,
rather than a summative one. When you have students assess
themselves, it is important to listen to what they say and to take it into
account in your assessment of them. One way of doing this is as
follows: Get students to give themselves a mark for the term or
semester in the following areas: Reading, Listening, and Vocabulary.
Principles behind the course
English for Success 3 is an ELT course written specifically for
secondary school students. It draws from the most cutting-edge
developments in ELT methodology and practise and is clear, accessible
and novel. The most important features of the course concept are the
following:
• A controlled environment for teaching and learning
• Student and teacher motivation
• An interactive approach to learning
• Thinking training
• Memorisation techniques
• An emphasis on skills• A strong focus on vocabulary input and practise
• Expanding general knowledge
• Building cultural awareness
• A thorough revision and evaluation system
• Value and attitudes related to contents
The above features make English for Success 3 a very well balanced
course which gives you security, and a real sense of progress to
students.

9/96
1. A controlled environment for teaching and
learning
One of our most important aims was to publish a course where
learning is very carefully monitored.
A problem sometimes encountered in course books is that of
un-previewed language and grammar. It can be frustrating for both
you and the students when, for example, an elementary lesson on the
Present Simple also contains examples of the Past Simple or evenPresent Perfect. Your assurances that ‘this will be covered later’ can
stifle the students’ own sense of achievement. We have been very
careful to avoid this in English for Success 3 . We have carefully
monitored the language progression and have avoided using new
grammar in the skills sections. Each speaking exercise is well guided
through the use of prompts and examples.
The same approach has been carefully implemented throughout all
the components.
The second important aim was to create materials that provide
methodologically sound lessons on the page. You do not need to
adapt the material and no extra preparation or input is required. In
other words, if you teach from English for Success 3 , you will be very
successful with little effort.
2. Student and teacher motivation
The English for Success 3 course was designed to help you motivate
students and also be very rewarding to teach from. One of the key
ways of achieving this is that throughout the course there is a clear
direction for learning. Unit objectives are clearly stated at the
beginning of each unit. Lessons and tasks have carefully-prepared
stages leading up to clear communicative outcomes.
The varied unit structure, the liveliness of the presentations and
exercises, and the sheer interest of the texts make the material
extremely engaging. There is often an element of puzzle-solving
which, added to the high quality of photos, illustrations and audio
material, will add to students’ motivation and desire to learn.
Most importantly, many of the presentations in English for Success 3are amusing and thought provoking, which we hope will make the
material memorable, thus promoting acquisition and learning. You
and your students will often find yourselves smiling at a funny cartoon
or a humorous text. The topics covered are usually familiar but with a
fresh and interesting ‘angle’. We are sure that studying from English
for Success 3 will be a very enjoyable experience!
3. An interactive approach to learning
We believe that the unique feature of English for Success 3 is the fact
that students are much more actively involved in every stage of the
learning process than in other courses. The involvement is particularly
transparent in the following sections of the book:
Skills strategies: While other courses offer language tips aboutskills strategies, we give students the opportunity to experience the
strategy through doing exercises that illustrate them. Students can
then understand the strategies boxes (Train Your Brain) much better,
and even help create them.
Reading and listening skills: We believe that these sections
are developed in a very involving way. They very often work like
puzzles where students have to complete the reading with the missing
paragraph or title, or guess the ending of the listening before they
listen to the last part of it. The variety of exercises and their unique
character motivate the students and help them remember the
material.
Speaking: As in most courses these sections include a box with the
functional language highlighted. However, what is unique in English
for Success 3 is the fact that all the exercises are constructed in such
a way that students have to either complete the box themselves orrefer to it many times, so by the end of the lesson they can use the
new phrases almost effortlessly.
Vocabulary sections: These are not just a selection of exercises
based around a particular lexical set. They are mini lessons which
very often finish with a speaking exercise in which students have to
use the vocabulary they have just learnt.
Grammar: The inductive approach makes the grammar
presentations in English for Success 3 particularly interesting and
memorable. Students analyse examples of language and arrive at the
grammar rules themselves. This helps them understand and
remember the rules better.
Critical thinking: Before you continue… is a section to encourage
students to learn critical thinking through speaking or writing
assignments and problem solving. For example, students might beasked how their lives would be different if they had been born in
another country or in a different time period. These thinking
assignments require a student to let go of what they know of their
lives and the world around them to assume a different truth or a
different time period.
4. Thinking Training
The key to all the techniques described above is the fact that English
for Success 3 is designed in such a way that it not only teaches
English for daily communication purposes, but also helps students
become more independent learners.
English for Success 3 provides what we call Thinking Training, which
consists of:• Training in skills strategies
• Training in drawing conclusions connected with grammar
• Training in social skills (emphasis on communication,
register, intonation)
We believe that this training is fundamental for building students’
confidence and thus for their future development.
5. Memorisation techniques
The Thinking Training would not be complete without memorisation
techniques, which make it possible for students to remember their
own conclusions about the language as well as new vocabulary and
structures. The course has been developed in the light of knowledge
about how the brain works. To help students remember grammar,vocabulary and new phrases, the following principles have been taken
into consideration:
1. New language is always presented in context. Learners remember
the interesting context, which then helps them remember the new
structure or vocabulary.
2. Exposure leads to acquisition so new language is constantly
revised within the unit and within the course.
9
8/20/2019 ENGLISH SUCCESS 3
10/96
3. There are references to the language students have already come
across in the course, which are called Think Back! Students are
encouraged to find the information they need in the sections of
the Students’ Book that they have already covered. This activates
the knowledge students already have.
4. The Language assessment sections after every unit and the
Checkpoint sections after every two units help consolidate the
material in all its aspects. (Language skills, pronunciation,listening, reading, speaking and writing skills)
6. An emphasis on skills
In keeping with current trends in language teaching, we provide very
solid skills training but at the same time, we are aware that skills
cannot be practised without a solid base in vocabulary and
grammar.
Skills strategies training
Skills training in English for Success 3 is organised in the following
way:
The Students’ Book covers general skills strategies such as prediction,
understanding the main ideas, guessing the meaning of the new
words and finding specific information. These are ‘life skills’ students
will need in different situations outside the classroom, regardless of
whether they are taking any language exams or not. Skills strategies’
training is not limited to simple rules in a box. Students first
‘experience’ the strategy and then complete the Train Your Brain box
with the information they already have about the given strategy. For
example, students only read part of the text at a time and students
are encouraged to guess what will happen on the basis of titles,
pictures, and their knowledge of the world, as well as clues within the
text. The sequence of exercises leading up to the Train Your Brain box
shows how the strategy works in a very practical way. This inductive
approach to teaching skills is unparalleled in English for Success 3.
Teaching Reading
The reading sections present topics and language in a wide variety of
text types such as notices, signs, text messages, website pages,
questionnaires, reports, brochures, advertisements, letters, emails,
literary extracts and journalistic material, all written in a lively style.
Each reading passage is accompanied by a wide range of exercises
to encourage students not only to understand what they read, but
also to notice the language used. They analyse the text in detail,
focusing on new vocabulary while reinforcing and building on the
grammar and vocabulary they have recently learnt. Reading strategies
are introduced and practised systematically and thoroughly throughout
the book. There are references to them in the reading sections as
well as in the revisions.
Teaching ListeningListening is extensively practised in English for Success 3 . There are
listening sections in every unit, and shorter listening tasks in all the
other Students’ Book sections, including the Communication project
and Language assessment.
The skills of listening are developed in English for Success 3 through
a wealth of listening text types, including radio (reports, phone-in,
interviews, quizzes), dialogues, monologues, announcements,
speeches and mini-lectures and songs. There is a wide range of task
types, both for single answer, true/false, text completion, table
completion, etc, and more extensive and freer note taking, with
opportunities for students to compare their answers or report their
findings. Listening texts mainly include standard British English and
regional British accents, but some contain accents of other English-
speaking countries such as the USA and Australia.
Teaching Speaking
Speaking is often the area with which students experience the most
frustration. They need considerable help and guidance to improve
their accuracy, but not at the expense of fluency. English for Success
3 aims to give a wide range of speaking tasks to cater for all student
types and give ample, regular practise. Speaking exercises in the
classroom have to be particularly easy to administer, but also be
worth the effort you put in. They should have a very high pay-off with
a sense of satisfaction for both you and the students.
There are speaking activities in all sections of the course. The special
Speaking sections introduce functional language (Speak Out), either
connected with situations (e.g. giving instructions) or everyday
phrases (e.g. expressing opinions). Students learn how to use thesephrases in context and practise them meaningfully in dialogues.
These exercises have been carefully designed so that they progress
from guided to more open ones.
There are speaking tasks in the revision sections to prepare students
for the unit tests.
Teaching Writing
Writing is an essential part of the student’s competence and requires
special emphasis. English for Success 3 addresses key text types,
especially those required in exam situations. These include letters,
notes, messages, emails, discursive and descriptive essays, reports
and summary writing. The course provides both appropriate guidance
and opportunities for freer practise. All types of writing are covered
with a strong focus on micro skills such as punctuation, linking wordsand avoiding repetition in order to build and develop the overall writing
skill. English for Success 3 also focuses on the communicative value
of writing by making students aware of whom they are writing to.
There are writing tasks in every unit. Tasks move from controlled
writing activities to longer writing exercises. Students analyse the
specific features of a model text by doing exercises. This leads up to a
summary of the features in a Train Your Brain box. Students then write
and check their own text using the Train Your Brain box to help them.
7. A strong focus on vocabulary input and practise
The activation, extension and enrichment of vocabulary are essential
elements of English for Success 3. The course pays attention to the
revision and recycling of lexis in the belief that students at this level haveparticular difficulty in maintaining their fluency and need help in
developing strategies for learning vocabulary. There is a strong focus on
the practise of fixed and semi-fixed phrases, based on research showing
that we acquire language more quickly and effectively by ‘learning in
chunks’ rather than single items.
New vocabulary is presented where relevant through the lessons. Mind
the Trap boxes here focus students’ attention on any exceptions to the
10
8/20/2019 ENGLISH SUCCESS 3
11/96
rule and areas of special difficulty. Vocabulary is consolidated and
practised in the Language assessment sections.
In the Pre-Intermediate level, there is a special exercise called ‘Extend
your vocabulary’ where students practise the vocabulary they know as
well as learn new meanings of familiar words or expressions.
8. Grammar presentation and practise
English for Success 3 provides a structured and thorough syllabuswhich will not create unforeseen problems or surprises. The specific
contents of the syllabus are organised in a logical way, which makes
grammar easier to understand.
Grammar is always presented in context. The language is consolidated
and practised in all sections, which is very important from the point
of view of recycling and remembering new structures.
Grammar is present in a variety of text types (dialogues, short reading
texts and cartoons). Students first analyse examples from the texts
then check if they were right by looking at the Check it out sections.
Mind the trap boxes draw students’ attention to areas of special
difficulty and help to pre-empt errors. This particular way of teaching
grammar encourages students to analyse and come to conclusions
about grammar patterns and rules. The course deals with this
important area effectively, yet without labouring the point.Grammar analysis is followed by controlled practise exercises, which
provide a focus on accuracy, before moving on to freer practise
exercises.
Grammar is consolidated and practised in the Language assessment
sections after every unit.
9. Expanding general knowledge
English for Success 3 has a highly educational content. Students
learn, for example, about places, legends, geography, sciences,
people, trends, technology, responsibility and awareness, as well as
about people who have played an important role in politics, art and
culture. It encourages students to discuss contemporary social issues
which are relevant to their age.
10. Building cultural awareness
The content of English for Success 3 is designed to represent the
culture of Britain and other English-speaking countries that are
multicultural and multiracial. The course also introduces characters
so that students can relate to the issues easily.
11. A thorough revision and evaluation system
Evaluation in English for Success 3 is very carefully planned and
includes a strong link between the Language assessment and
Checkpoint sections in the Students’ Book and the unit test in the
Teacher’s Book. The fundamental rule is that there should be no
surprises for the students, which means that they should know the
format of the test well in advance.
There are 6 tests among the resources in the Teacher’s Book, one for
each unit of the Student’s Book. They were designed to assess the
four language skills plus vocabulary and grammar in context. They
test the listening and reading strategies practised in the corresponding
units in the Student’s Book, such as prediction, listening/reading for
gist, listening/reading for specific information, matching titles with
paragraphs, table completion, sequencing and gap-filling, true/false,
multiple choice questions, answering questions, among others.
The productive skills, speaking and writing, are tested through tasks
that are similar to those carr ied out by students in the corresponding
unit of their book. The writing tasks are included in the photocopiableunit tests for students, together with the activities that test listening,
reading, vocabulary and grammar. The indications for the speaking
skills tasks that go together with the unit tests are included
immediately after them at the end of the Teacher’s Book. They aim to
offer students the opportunity to demonstrate, in a controlled but
friendly atmosphere, their ability to use their spoken language skills
effectively. The tasks are varied and they always refer to the leading
theme of each unit in the Student’s Book. There are suggestions for
the teacher to vary the tasks based on the same function to be
evaluated.
An answer key to the unit tests is provided in the Teacher’s Book, but
we also help teachers by providing photocopiable evaluation
instruments to grade students’ ability to use their writing skills andtheir speaking skills effectively. Teachers will find speaking and
writing assessment charts in the final pages of their Book, with a
clear definition of the criteria for assessing each skill and rating
scales to grade students.
Also among the resources at the end of the Teacher’s Book, there are
observation guidelines for teachers to evaluate their students’
performance in class throughout the year, as well as self-evaluation
models which teachers can photocopy as they are or adapt according
to their students’ needs for them to reflect on their learning process
and assess their own progress and development. The objectives for
each unit provide students with a checklist of what they should be
able to do at the end of that unit. When they do this, they realise that
there are things they can do which they could not do before, so they
are motivated to learn more. As well as increasing motivation, self-assessment promotes independence and confidence in students.
We hope that you will enjoy working with English for Success 3.
12. Values and attitudes related to contents (OFT).
English for Success 3 promotes the reflexion on values and attitudes
which are closely linked to the contents presented through the
language and cultural aspect involved. Thus, these values and
attitudes are dealt with in an integrated manner, as they can be easily
inferred from the main themes and contents.
13. Spelling
While there are certainly many more varieties of English, American and
British English are the two varieties that are taught in most ESL/EFLprograms. Generally, it is agreed that no one version is more “correct”
however, there are certainly preferences in use. In English for Success3 we have intentionally included both variations so that students get
used to more than one way of understanding and using English.

Components
English for Success 3 Students’ Book
Organisation
The Student’s Book contains 6 thematic units, each consisting of 14
pages. Each unit is divided into three lessons one of which containsa language focus, plus a writing project.
At the end of the each unit there is a two-page consolidation called
Language assessment which provides students with additional
practise in all the skills areas as well as grammar and vocabulary.
Students will be able to consolidate at home and practise techniques
learnt in class.
There is a self-assessment section called Checkpoint. Through the
languages and skills tasks included there, students can grade
themselves and later on assess their progress and decide if they
need further practise.
Class CDs
The recorded material is a very important feature of English for
Success 3 . Apart from the listening tasks in the lesson, revisions and
tests, classroom language is also recorded in the CD.
English for Success 3 Teacher’s Book
English for Success Teacher’s Book mirrors the Students’ Book in its
organisation and thus is very easy to navigate.
The Introduction provides information about unique features of
the English for success Students’ Book as well as the other course
components. Each unit starts with a plan and which relates to the
contents and topics with aspects such as what students will learn,
timing, teaching, resources and evaluation.
The teaching notes for each lesson provide methodological
teacher support. It is very often the case that teachers may expectdifficult questions from students about the particular grammar,
vocabulary, pronunciation, etc. Teacher’s Book Special difficulties
section provides answers to the anticipated problems. Warm-up
activities refer back to the material covered before and provide a nice
start to a new lesson. Optional activities offer suggestions for the
exploitation of the Students’ Book material.

Iman [ Anglo-African accent]
I have a British passport so officially I’m British. But I never saythat I’m British. When people ask me I tell them I’m‘international’, you know why? Well, two reasons really. First ofall, my family comes from Somalia. And the second reason isthat I think the British haven’t got a very good reputation insome countries, People think they are arrogant and when theygo on holiday they always eat burgers and chips and they drinktoo much beer!
Steve
Yes, I love Britain, and I like the mix of people. It doesn’t reallymatter if your family comes from India or Jamaica, or if you areEnglish, Irish or Scottish. I think that people here all get on well
with each other. But personally, I’m proud to be English. I likeour way of life, and I always support England in the WorldCup.
Adil [London-Estuary accent]
My family is from Pakistan originally, and we sometimes gothere on holiday, but I definitely feel British. My parents supportthe Pakistan cricket team, but me and my brother support theEnglish team. I’m also Muslim and that’s very important tome.
Megan [Welsh accent]
I’m Welsh first and British second. I speak Welsh when I’m withmy family. I’m very proud of our language and our Celtictraditions. But Britain’s a cool place to live – I think that theBritish sense of humour is the best in the world.
Robert
I was born in London and I live there because, well, I’m aLondoner and I don’t want to live anywhere else! But I travelaround Europe very often and I meet wonderful people in everycountry. In fact, I believe that it doesn’t matter if you’re fromEngland, France, Italy or any European country really. We allhave the same culture and a shared history. But most of my
friends in London don’t agree with me!

This section gives students a Chilean legend on the topic of love
and making difficult decisions.
Using the culture notes
The culture notes in the book are mainly designed as a reference forteachers in case Ss ask for more information about people or placesmentioned in the book. However, you could also incorporate theminto the lessons in a number of ways:
1 Comparisons with the Ss’ country / regionFor example, with the culture notes, Ss could discuss about differentpeople and brainstorm facts about the person’s life, such as theirmajor works and achievements.
2 Inspiring the SsWhere there is no obvious corresponding information about the Ss’country / region, the culture notes may stimulate their imagination.
As an example here, rather than looking at real people’s lives, Ss
could work together to create a fictional biography of a scientist,perhaps imagining future inventions or theories.
3 Find out moreThis is a way of using the culture notes to generate homework. Thenotes themselves are necessarily brief and give only a brief outlineof the item so, as a homework task, the Ss could find out more fromthe Internet or books and be encouraged to make a visuallyinteresting poster that could be used for display in the classroom.They could also present their findings to each other, in groups, atthe start of the following lesson.
Culture notes
Lican Ray is one of those small towns that has recently started
the transition from a seasonal lake resort town to a year-rounddestination with businesses open all year. Lican Ray is situated onthe north shore of the Calafquen Lake about 27 kilometres fromVillarrica, and about 35 from Pucón. The beaches are made of
black volcanic sand. Even when the South of Chile starts to getcolder, the beach tends to stay warm. Surrounding Lake Calafquenare snow capped volcanoes; the most spectacular one being the
Villarrica Volcano.
The main street stretches through town and down to Playa Chicaand turns and ends at the gates of a park that makes up thepeninsula between Playa Chica and Playa Grande. Most businesses
and restaurants can be found along the main street and directly infront of both beaches. The town was founded as a trading post,and today there are about 3,000 permanent residents, except for
the period from December 15 to February 28, when the populationmore that doubles with the arrival of summer vacationers. Februaryis the busiest month of the year. All tourist services are working
and many activities are available such as boat rides around thelake, water skiing, and Jet Ski rental.
Warm-upIntroducing the topic of the lesson. Chilean legends . Ss have their
books closed. Write the names of some legends on the board. For
example: King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table; Robin
Hood; El Dorado; La Llorona. Elicit ideas for what category of storythese fall into: legends. Ask students to define the word legend.
Accept anything that is relevant to the dictionary definition: an old,
well-known story, often about brave people, adventures, or magicalevents.
Before readingSs are encouraged to identify what they already know. This isevaluation of previous knowledge. Careful monitoring is important tounderstand what the Ss already know and where they need more
work.
1 Put Ss in pairs and ask them to name Chilean myths andlegends. They should list as many as they can. Elicit their responses.If there are stories that only a few people know, allow them to quicklytell the rest of the class. Do not let anyone tell the story of Lican Ray.
2 This can be discussed in open class. Ss share theirpredictions and justify them.
Reading
3 Give Ss time to read the first paragraph of thestory and check their prediction. Allow Ss to check with a partner,
before eliciting responses in open class.
4 In pairs, Ss find the sentence that explains the origin in ofthe name Lican Ray. If needed point out that the sentence is in thefirst paragraph.
5 First have the Ss find the pronouns in the text andunderline them. They could also look for other pronoun references topractise because this a good strategy for a better understanding of a
text.
6 Previously to answering the questions, the Ss findthe paragraphs where the answers are.
7 Have the Ss sequence the sentences before goingback to the text. Then they go back and check.
8 After answering the question have the studentsdiscuss why people tend to look for explanations for things they
cannot understand in nature.
9 Have the Ss focus on the layout of the text and then thecontent to identify first the type of text and then the source of the text.Have them mention the differences between a text in a magazine and
a section in a manual. They could say that a manual contains a list ofinstructions, numbers and some drawings while a text in a magazineis usually illustrated, it has a title and it is organized in paragraphs.
After reading
10 Ss work in pairs to come up with possible answers and havethem support their titles with evidence from the text.

11 Working in groups, Ss discuss and then report to the class.
Work it out
12 Have Ss explain when each of the verb tenses is used beforethey study the check it out.
Check it outOnce Ss have answered number 12 above elicit from them the difference
between the use of the Past Simple and Past Continuous. Then they read
the rule to check. Both the past simple and the past continuous refer to
completed actions in the past. Most of the time when we are talking
about such actions, we use the past simple. This is by far the most
common way of talking about the past.
I lived there for 6 years.
Use the past continuous when you want to emphasize the continuity of
the action.
I was thinking about you the other day.
When we use these two forms in the same sentence, we use the past
continuous to talk about the “background action” and the past simple totalk about the shorter completed action.
It was raining hard when we left the building.
13 Have Ss solve this guided exercise before they do thewriting.
14 Put Ss in pairs and give them two minutes to decidewhich legend or myths they want to write about. If they cannot come up
with one legend or myth, they could make one up. Tell Ss that the task of
deciding is also a chance to practise the target language so they should
do everything in English. Once they have decided what to write about,
monitor and note errors. Allow 10 minutes of class time for writing. If
there is not enough time in class this may be done as homework. When
they finish writing, they trade papers with other pairs to make correctionsbefore writing a final draft to hand in.
Before you continue...Have students respond orally or in writing to the questions in the book.
You could add more questions as the ones that follow or change them for
these ones:
1 Would you go out with someone from another country or culture? Why/
Why not?
2 Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of dating someone from
another country or culture.
1.2 Poor but happy(Student’s book pages 14-15)
This section introduces the Present Perfect to talk about recentevents and for actions happening at an unspecified time in the
past. It also introduces the time adverbials yet, already, justand ever.
Special difficulties: Ss may have difficulties understandingexactly when to use the Present Perfect and when to use the
Past Simple. The Mind the trap! section looks in more detail athow to decide which tense to use. The finished time periodsused with the Past Simple may not refer explicitly to a time,
e.g. on holiday, at university. If both speaker and listener knowwhat the time period is, it doesn’t always need to be stated at
all, e.g. Did you see the football game? (last night). It may alsobe worth pointing out to Ss that when using ever and never, theunfinished time period being referred to is ‘in your life’.
Warm-up
Connecting the topic with their lives. Put Ss into groups to discussthe following questions. Have you ever heard of someone who gotmarried at your age? What’s the best time to get married?
Before listening
Ss are encouraged to identify what they already know. This is
evaluation of previous knowledge. Careful monitoring is important to
understand what the Ss already know and where they need morework. To encourage the use of Present Perfect, if possible, write the
following sentences on the board for Ss to complete: The young manhas just… The older woman has already… The older man has
yet…
1 Put Ss into pairs. Ss describe the people and what they cansee in the picture. They then think of who the people are (probably afamily: mother, father, grandmother and son) and what they are doing
(having dinner and possibly discussing some difficult or controversialopinions/decisions). Also ask: What do you think happened before
this? Elicit ideas and note the Past Simple sentences that Ss use.
After the presentation and practise of the language point, you cancome back to the sentences and show Ss where it would be better to
use the Present Perfect.

Margaret: Excuse me, but haven’t you forgotten something,you two? How old were you when you got married? Twenty –the same age as Ian. And you didn’t have any money, didyou?
4 1.4 Students listen again and make notes so thatthey can justify their answers when you elicit them.
5 1.4 Ss discuss in pairs. Listen again if necessary. After eliciting the answers, ask Ss what they think their parents would
say if they decided to get married at the age of 20 and who would bethe most supportive member of their family.
After listening
Work it out
6 Ss look at the example sentences and say which one isdifferent from the others and why (met … is the Past Simple; theother two aren’t). Elicit the form of the other two sentences (have/hasplus the Past Participle). Ss now look at the three sentences again
and match them to the correct use.
7 Ss look at the sentences from the listening and do thematching in pairs.
Check it out
Read through the box with Ss. Elicit or explain that past Simple and
Past Participle of regular verbs are the same. If the verb is irregular,it is sometimes the same in both forms, e.g. bought and sometimes
different, e.g. did/done.
Mind the trap!
Look at the box with Ss and elicit other time expressions that couldbe used with the Past Simple, e.g. in 2003, last night, etc. Tell Ss that
the finished time doesn’t have to be an exact day or date, it can bee.g. on holiday, at primary school, when I was younger. You could alsolook at expressions such as today which can be used with the Past
Simple or Present Perfect, e.g. at home in the evening your parents
might say: What did you do at school today? because they are talkingabout the school day which has finished, not the calendar day whichhasn’t. However, the parents might say:Have you done your homeworktoday? because today is still unfinished and the child can still do
some homework later.
8 1.5 Re-elicit the meanings and uses of the four timeadverbials. Look at number 2 and ask Ss which words could go intothe gap and be grammatically correct ( already, just ). Now ask Ss
which word makes more sense in terms of meaning ( just ). Sscomplete the dialogue in pairs and then listen to check.

Part 1Monica: Well, have you told your parents yet?
Ian: Yes – I’ve just told them! Gran’s really pleased but myparents aren’t too happy.
Monica: Oh dear. I’m so glad that my parents have alreadyaccepted the idea.
Ian: I’d really like to see you. Have you finished your workyet?
Monica: No, I haven’t finished it yet. Have you ever felt thatyou just can’t concentrate?
Ian: Hold on a minute …
Margaret: Sorry to interrupt. I’ve just talked to your mum anddad and everything’s going to be OK.
Ian: Thanks, Gran! Did you hear that?Monica: Yes, I did. Listen – I’ll do my work tomorrow. We needto celebrate!
9 Re-elicit the rule from Check it Out that, whentalking about any time in the past, we use the Present Perfect but, forspecific occasions, we use the Past Simple. Ask the first question:
Have you ever met anyone famous? (in your life) and if any Ss answer yes , ask follow up questions in the Past Simple: Who did you meet?
Where/When did you meet them? What did you say? Ss carry out
conversations in pairs. Nominate Ss who answered yes to one of thequestions to come to the front of the class and the rest of the Ss askquestions to find out as much information about the event as possible.
You could also ask a pair of students to role play the interview for therest of the class.
Before you continue…

age and experience affect attitudes towards romance and marriage?Give examples.

1.3 Sunshine(Student’s book pages 16-17)
This section gives the Ss a story extract on the topic of being
separated from those we love.
Culture notes
Lima is the capital of Peru. It was founded by conquistadorFrancisco Pizarro on January 18, 1535. Its original name wasCiudad de los Reyes but Lima was its name in the local Aymara
language and it comes from the word lima-limaq (yellow flower).Lima is located in the Sechura Desert and it is the second largestdesert city in the world, after Cairo. The population in 2004 was
estimated at just over 8 million.
Warm-up
Review of Present Perfect Put Ss into pairs to discuss the following
questions. This conversation will link their lives with the topic of thislesson. Then some of the students could report their own stories ortheir partner’s. Has an important person in your life left you, your
school, neighbour, city or and country? Who? When? Do you misshim or her?
Before readingSs are encouraged to identify what they already know. This is
evaluation of previous knowledge. Careful monitoring is important tounderstand what the Ss already know and where they need more
work.
1 Add other questions for the Ss to answer so that theyobserve the pictures in detail and get the feeling and mood of the
story At this point there are no right or wrong answers.
2 Focus the Ss attention on the layout and pictures again beforeanswering the question. Ask them what type of text this is. Have them
support their answers. Then they answer the question.
Reading
3 Give Ss time to read through the first paragraph andunderline the words in the paragraph that help them check their answer
to exercise 2. They could have underlined words such as “man steps out
of his house”, “no sunshine”, “cold with sadness” and “life without her”.
4 Ss read the whole story and then go back to
paragraph 2 and re-read it. The answers to this question may vary, but it
is important that the sentence they choose embodies the idea of a lost
mother that the family misses.
5 It is suggested this exercise is done in groups and they shouldfind the evidence for their answers.
6 The same pairs as in exercise 5 complete the sentences. First
they try to complete the gaps without going back to the text. They go
back to check their answers. Ss explain what is the mood of the story,
once they have finished this task. Call the attention of the Ss of the use
of the weather in literature to create a specific mood.
After reading
Work it out
7 Ask Ss to try to complete the text without going back to the text.Then they go to the text, check their answers and finally they read Check
it out on the following page.
Check it out
Ss first read the check it out silently and then check their answers toexercise 7. Have them in pairs write at least one sentence using
because and the other using so about the story. Then write them onthe board so that the Ss can write them.
We use because before a clause (a sentence subject verb andcomplement). Use because of when you put the noun after the
reason. I went to sleep because I was tired.
So is used to express result. I was tired so I went to bed .
8 If necessary have Ss re-read paragraphs 2, 4 and 5 beforecoming up with the titles. It is suggested they do this exercise in groups
and then they can share their titles and justify them.
9 Ss write following the model provided. They write andthen they do peer correction.
Optional activity
Ss work in groups of 2–4 to think of questions to write for a survey
on attitudes to emigration, e.g. Would you move to another country?
Why? Why not? What would you miss most about your country?Where would you move to? What problems would most worry you?
Ss then swap partners and interview each other. Monitor and note
any common errors for a correction slot at the end of the activity.Finish up by discussing the questions in open class to find out whatthe Ss’ views are.
Before you continue...
After discussing the questions in the Ss’ book, have them respond
orally or in writing to these questions:
1 How do you think family and friends react when someone they love
leaves? When they return?
2 Is it better to be the one who leaves or the one who stays? Why?

1.4 Happily ever after(Student’s book pages 18-19)
This section looks at the use of for and since to answer thequestion How long …?
Special difficulties: Ss may be confused by this new use ofthe Present Perfect, especially if in L1 a different structure isused to give the same information. Make the distinction
between for and since clear and give Ss sufficient practise ofthe form, correcting as necessary.
Warm-up Introducing the topic of the lesson. When and how. Ss have their
books closed. Write four names on the board with four ages, e.g. Mark24, Amy 25, Emily 27, Colin 29. Ask Ss for a phrase which gives the
ages of all four people. If Ss don’t know, tell them. (They are in theirtwenties.) Repeat in their fifties and in their seventies and then in theirteens . Ask Ss what is a good age to get engaged (using one of the
phrases above, e.g. in your twenties ), a good age to get married, havechildren and retire. Write the eight words from Exercise 2 on the board( romantic, caring, passionate, friendly, hold hands, kiss, be 16 and in
love, hug ) and elicit or check the meanings of each. Ss work in groupsof 3–4 to rank the word in importance for a good relationship. Elicitideas in open class.
Before listeningSs are encouraged to identify what they already know. This is an
evaluation of previous knowledge, careful monitoring is important tounderstand what the Ss already know and where they need more work.
1 Put Ss in pairs and tell half of the class to look at the toppicture and the other half to look at the bottom picture. They should
use as many of the words from the exercise as possible to describetheir picture and what the people look like. Elicit ideas and then ask
Ss what they think the relationship between the people in picture 1and those in picture 2 is (they are the same people).

Max: How long have you been married, then?
Jean: We’ve been married since 14 February 1956. Valentine’sDay.
Max: Have you lived here since then?
Jean: Not exactly. We’ve lived in Stretford since the wedding, butnot in this house.
Norm: No, we’ve only been here for sixteen years.
Jean: Eighteen years, Norm. We’ve lived in this house for eighteenyears. Since 1988.
Max: How did you meet?
Norm: Well, I used to be a policeman. I retired ten years ago … And Jean was the waitress in my local café.
Jean: It was love at first sight.
Max: So, what’s your secret for a successful relationship?
Jean: I think you have to fall in love many times – always with thesame person.
Max: Have you ever fallen out?
Norm: We’ve had a few little arguments, but we haven’t had aserious argument for years.
Jean: No, not since Christmas Day 1977. Remember you …
Norm: We have a simple rule – if one of us is angry, we alwaystry to sort it out before we say goodnight.
Max: One last question – have you got any regrets?
Norm: I’m just sorry I didn’t marry Jean earlier.
Jean: And I’ve never regretted a single day.

6 1.6 Ss listen again and since this is also specificinformation, the recording could be stopped when the information

7 1.6 They could reword the answers and if necessarythey could answer in Spanish. It is suggested that the Ss are promptto give their opinion in the matter.
8 1.6 A filler is a sound or word that is spoken inconversation by one participant to signal to others that he/she haspaused to think but is not yet finished speaking. Different languageshave different characteristic filler sounds; in English, the most common
filler sounds are uh / ́/, er / „ / and um / ´m/. Among youths, the fillers“like”, “y’know”, “actually”, “literally”, and “basically” are more prevalent.Point out the relevance of the use of fillers for a better communication.
Encourage Ss to identify the filler being used by the speaker.

can’t be used, e.g. I have been in this class since/for …, I have beenin this school since/for …, I have been in this lesson since/for …,but
I was in primary school for … (the Past Simple because the Ss are
not in primary school any longer; they can’t use since either).
Then elicit sentences in the Past Simple with ago, e.g. I started in thisclass …, This lesson started …
Check it out
The box recaps what Ss have just learned. Read through it with theSs and ask them to make one true sentence about themselves usingfor and one using since. Elicit ideas in open class.
We use Present Perfect tense to talk about action which started in thepast and continues up to the present.
Examples
I have had this computer for about a year.
We use for with a period of time, for example: a few days, half anhour, two years . We use since with the time when the action started,for example: last year, June 8, I met you .
Mind the trap!
Look through the box with the Ss and stress the rule given, especially
where the present tense is used in L1 and may cause problems. Itmay be worth doing translation exercises whereby Ss in pairs have a
sentence in English, e.g. I have known her for five years or I havebeen here since 1996 , translate it into L1 and swap with another pairwho have translated a similar but different sentence. Ss then have to
translate back into English to make sure they have got the formcorrect and used for or since correctly.
11 Look at the dates and times given and elicit what happenedthen. Tell Ss to write out full sentences to answer the questions. Aftereliciting the answers, practise the negative form by again getting Ssto think of true sentences about themselves, e.g. I haven’t eatensince breakfast.
12 Ss work in pairs to decide whether the expressions takefor or since . Elicit the answers and, for each one, elicit what time
expression would be needed for the other word, e.g. since 7 o’clock = for (5) hours . Ss write sentences alone. Monitor and help where
necessary. Ss compare answers in pairs and then as a whole class.
13 Tell Ss that, when they answer the questions forthemselves, they should use a mixture of for and since and not just
one of them. After they have interviewed each other in pairs, elicitanswers in open class. Have them role play in front of the class.
14 Ss work in pair writing the dialogue following themodel provided. If necessary assign some time home to learn their
lines.
15 In pairs Ss write their own interviews andpractise it. Monitor and assist when necessary. Finally have somepairs present their work.
Optional activity
Put Ss into groups of four. The Ss work together to think of five moresimilar questions using How long … Number the Ss in each group, 1,2, 3 and 4 and then make four new groups consisting of all the 1s,
all the 2s etc. The Ss ask and answer each other’s questions asbefore but, this time, as the questions are unknown beforehand, theywill have to respond more spontaneously.
Before you continue...It is suggested they have a further discussion on the followingquestions:
1 Do you think men and women can be just friends? Why(not)?
2 How do you think members of your parents and grandparentsgeneration would respond to the first question?

Communicationproject(Student’s book pages 20-21)
The Communication Project section mainly aims at developing the
productive skills, Speaking and Writing. Both skills are carefully andgradually developed. The Ss start from very guided activities and end
producing oral and written texts with little guidance. In doing so theyalso face listening and reading activities used mainly as models to befollowed.
Speaking
This section gives the Ss practise at giving opinions, agreeingand disagreeing. Ss are introduced to the language through a
listening and then given opportunities to use the languagethemselves.
Warm-upIntroducing the topic of the lesson. Tea/coffee person. Ss allstand up. Tell Ss that, if they agree with what you say, they shouldstand on one side of the room and, if they disagree, they should standon the other. Ss discuss the reasons for their opinion standing in their
two groups and then debate across the room. Ideas: Earrings lookgood on men and women. Nose rings look stupid. Jewellery and
make–up should be banned in school. Pierced tongues are terrible.
1 Ss look at the photo and describe the young girl in it with asmuch detail as possible, giving both factual information about whatshe is wearing and opinions about what Ss think about her style.
Check pierced/piercing and then Ss answer the questions given.
2 1.7 On the first listening, Ss do the matching task andcompare their answers with their partner. Have them listen again tocheck their choices. This time they note down what they said to
support their options.

Anna: She’s great. She explains things so well, and she’sreally funny, too. She’s got a piercing.
Frank: She’s got a what?!
Anna: A piercing. In her nose, here … It looks really cool!
Jenny: Take it easy, Frank.
Frank: Well, personally, I think that’s terrible.
Anna: What are you talking about, Dad?Frank: In my opinion, a teacher should be a model for youngpeople, and I don’t think a piercing is appropriate!
Anna: Oh, come on. You can’t be serious! Everybody’s gotpiercings nowadays.
Frank: Not everybody. You haven’t got one, have you?
Anna: No, not yet. But if I want one, I’ll get one.
Frank: Oh, no, you won’t! You’re only sixteen! What do youthink, Jenny?
Jenny: Well, if you ask me, you have to be crazy to get apiercing …
Frank: That’s right! Piercings are horrible!
Jenny: Yes, Frank, I see what you mean, but it’s Anna’s body,
not yours …Anna: That’s a very good point.
Jenny: So, it seems to me that if she’s really sure she wantsa piercing, she can get one …
Frank: What? I totally disagree! I mean, just think about …
3 1.8 Ss read through the sentences and see if theycan guess the answers based on what they have just listened. Elicit
ideas and then play the CD to check. Model each phrase or play therecording again. Ss mark the stressed words. Elicit ideas and modelagain if there are any difficulties. Drill thoroughly.

1 In my opinion, a teacher should be a model for young people.
2 Oh, come on. You can’t be serious!
3 What do you think?
4 If you ask me, you have to be crazy to get a piercing.
5 I see what you mean, but it’s Anna’s body.
6 That’s a very good point.
4 1.9 In pairs the Ss classify the words. Then they listento the CD at least twice. Check their answers. Drill the three vowel
sounds and elicit words which have the same sounds, e.g. /ai/ my ,life ; /ei/ same , late ; /oi/ boy , royal . Ss look at the words in the box and
say them out loud in pairs. They then listen to check and complete thetable.

enjoy, game, headlines, point, site, sunshine, voice.
Optional activity
Bingo. Divide the board into three spaces and write the threephonemic symbols in each space. Elicit a word for each sound. Set Ss
a short time limit to brainstorm more words with these sounds – theycan look back in their Student’s Book if they like. Elicit and write upmore words so that you have about 20. Tell Ss to draw bingo grids
with fifteen spaces – demonstrate how on the board if necessary. Tell
Ss to choose fifteen words from the words on the board. Tell Ss theymust listen for the words in a story and cross them off when they hearthem. Do a short demo, e.g. Last night I got a call from my friend. Itwas to tell me that she and her boyfriend had got engaged . Make up
a short story using the words on the board. Pause briefly after eachsentence to give Ss time to find and cross off words. The game endswhen a student crosses off all fifteen words and shouts ‘Bingo!’
5 Discuss the Speaking Strategies with Ss. Make sure theyunderstand them.
6 Put Ss into groups of four. Ss discus in groupswhat they think about piercing, what they expect from their parents
and/or teachers. Then they decide which point of view they willdefend as a group. Assign some time for them to speak in groups andthen have them discuss with the other groups. One student in each
group starts the conversation by giving his/her opinion. Monitor andnote errors for a correction slot later on. Elicit what was said in openclass at the end of the activity.
Writing
This section aims at teaching how to write text messages and
some of the common abbreviations and symbols used in thosemessages.
Warm-upReview of expressing an opinion. Controversial statements. Elicittopics which are important in Ss’ lives, e.g. music, relationships,school. Ss work in pairs and choose one of the topics and then writea controversial statement about it that some people might agree with
and others might disagree with, e.g. classical music is all rubbish . Sspass their statement to the pair on their left. Each pair discusses theiropinions about the new statement for one minute and then passes
them to their left again. The process is continued until the statementsreturn back to their original writers. Elicit ideas in open class.
1 1.10 Ss describe the photo in as much detail aspossible, looking at the appearance of the people and imagining their
characters as well as answering the questions in the exercise. Elicit
ideas in open class and then play the recording to check.

Sophie: Over there in that blue top. Sitting next to that tall guy.Oh, my God! She’s changed her hair!
Hugh: Oh, yes. Wait a minute … I thought Liz was going outwith Leo. Have they split up?
Sophie: Haven’t you heard? Liz and Leo had a huge argument.They split up ages ago. They haven’t even spoken to eachother since then. I think her hair looked better when it was
straight. I wonder who the tall guy is … Bart told me he’s seenLiz at the club a few times with a short guy called John …
2 1.10 Ss read through the sentences to make surethey understand everything. Check possible difficult words, e.g. to
split up. Ss try to remember the answers from the first listening andthen listen to check and complete their answers.
3 Ss match and compare. After the matching,discuss any other abbreviations Ss use. They can discuss abbreviations
of L1 words as long as they use English to do so.
4 Re-elicit who the different people in the listening
are (Liz, Sophie, John, Leo, Hugh). Ss then work in pairs to do thematching. Elicit answers and justifications.
5 Check: hug , toe , to object . Ss first do the matching and thenread through the texts to try to make sense of them. Finally theyrewrite the text messages in their notebooks, replacing theabbreviations with whole words.
6 If possible, arrange the class so that you are standingin the middle of the Ss and so that, when they have written theirmessages, they can easily hand them to you for you to ‘deliver’ themto other Ss. When the activity finishes, collect all the messages to
revise them. The following class, write the most common errors onthe board for them to correct.
Language Assessment(Student’s book pages 22-23)
These review sections give the students a chance to revise what they
have learned in the unit. It is suggested that, at the beginning of thecourse, the activities can be done as pair work with lead-ins to remindstudents of the grammar or vocabulary and to help them develop
strategies which will help them carry out the activities successfully.The main aim here is to increase the students’ confidence.
As the course continues it is convenient to let them attempt theactivities with less help from you. At initial stages it is more useful to
tell them to do the activities alone but to compare answers withothers before feedback to avoid weaker students being put on thespot. After eliciting answers, focus on the areas on which they are
having more problems. Then provide the correct answers.
1 Ss work individually or in pairs to complete the first task,writing the questions. In the second part of the activity Ss mingle toask each other their questions. When Ss are finished asking thequestions, allow them time to write before eliciting the responses in
open class.
Monitor carefully during the writing phase to make sure their
questions are correct. Listen as Ss mingle to note common errors torevise at the end of the lesson.
2 1.11 Ss first read the questions and then listen to therecording at least twice.

a great extrovert and I am quite shy so it took a while to get toknow him. When I found out he had a girlfriend, I was broken-hearted! I went out with one or two men but no one serious.
We finally got together after two long years – I was at a friend’sparty and Greg suggested going for a coffee. We ended uptalking all night and that was that! We’ve
