ENGLEZ GHIDUL ELEVULUI 4
Dragi tineri,
Felicitri c ai ales s urmai cursurile de limba englez din
cadrul programului A doua ans nvmnt secundar
inferior.
Nevoia de a nelege o limb strin se face simit n orice
domeniu am lucra; de asemenea, atunci cnd cltorim sau
primim oaspei dintr-o ar strin, ne descurcm mult mai uor
dac putem comunica ntr-o limb de larg rspndire, cum este
limba englez. n plus, cunoaterea unei limbi strine ne ajut s
nelegem mai bine modul de gndire al persoanelor de alt
naionalitate i chiar s ne redescoperim pe noi nine n raport
cu cellalt. Experiena nvrii unei limbi strine v va ajuta s
nvai mai uor i alte limbi strine, n funcie de provocrile
crora va trebui s le facei fa.
Acest curs v va sprijini n invarea limbii engleze prin exerciii
i activiti comunicative care se bazeaz pe cunotine
anterioare minime. Dac nu ai nvat pn acum niciodat
limba englez, nu trebuie s v ngrijorai, pentru c profesorul
vostru va adapta leciile n funcie de cunotinele i nevoile
voastre. Dac, dimpotriv, avei deja cunotine de baz, v va

lucruri noi mpreun cu ei.
Fiecare dintre noi avem stiluri de nvare diferite. V sugerm s
analizai n permanen modul n care nvai: observai care
sunt activitile pe care le considerai uoare i care sunt cele
care presupun mai mult efort. Poate c nvai mai uor atunci
cnd cineva v prezint i explic clar nite reguli, sau poate c
nvai mai uor imitnd un model. Unii vor prefera activitile
scrise, alii pe cele orale, unii activitile individuale, alii pe
cele n pereche sau echip. V recomandm s facei nsemnri
periodice ntr-un jurnal de nvare, n care s notai activitile
care v-au plcut, cele pe care le-ai considerat uoare sau grele,
etc. Acest lucru v va oferi ocazia de v nregistra succesele, dar
i de a trece mai uor peste ceea ce vi se pare dificil. De
asemenea, putei nota n jurnal cuvintele sau expresiile care
credei c v vor fi utile ntr-o anumit situaie.
Mai presus de toate, nu v lsai descurajai atunci cnd simii
c nu v descurcai de la bun nceput aa cum v-ai dori. Pentru
a nva o limb strin este nevoie de timp, dar i de foarte
mult perseveren. Folosii orice ocazie avei (n clas sau n
situaii reale) de a exersa cuvintele sau expresiile nvate.
Pentru a v ajuta n acest sens, fiecare lecie se ncheie cu
sugestii de utilizare a celor nvate. Realiznd ideile de la
seciunea Use it! putei s v mbogii portofoliul, care va fi
evaluat la sfritul cursului.

I can identify and compare means of transport in a city;
Underground. The Underground is very
easy to use and its map is simple to
understand. You can easily find
Underground stations in the centre of
London. There are frequent trains, just
minutes apart, but they can be crowded at
rush hours. You can buy a saver Travelcard,
valid for one day or longer periods.
Buses. The famous double decker
buses are a good way to see the
capital. A Travelcard means you
can jump on and off them (at bus
stops) as you please. They cover all
of Central London and you can take
buses to the edge of the city too.
Taxi Cabs. The black cab
is another of London's
world famous features.
The advantage of the taxi
is that you arrive at your
destination usually on
time, but they can be
very expensive.

To find a tourist information centre;
To travel by bus;

give directions?
Think about it!
Have you ever been asked to give directions to a foreigner in
your hometown or village? How did you feel? What language did
you use?
Useful language!
Lets learn!
Andra and her friends are visiting the centre of London on foot.
They are in front of Buckingham Palace. Can you find it on the
map?
Andra and Sergiu would like to see Westminster Abbey, the
Houses of Parliament and Trafalgar Square. Adriana and Mihai
are interested in Picadilly Circus and the shops in Regents
Street. So, they are going to split now and meet later on, in front
of the National Art Gallery.
Andra: Excuse me! Can you tell us the way to the Houses of
Parliament from here?
Londoner: Certainly! Turn right into Buckingham Gate, then left
again into Victoria Street. Go straight on until you see
Westminster Abbey on your right. The Houses of Parliament
are right behind it.
Andra: Thank you, sir.
Londoner: Not at all.
Sergiu: How can we get to Trafalgar Square from there?
Londoner: Thats very easy. Just keep along Whitehall Avenue
and youll see Trafalgar Square pretty soon.
Sergiu: Thank you very much.
Londoner: Dont mention it.
Asking for directions:
Excuse me?
How do I get to...?
Can you tell me the way
to?
Where is?
Giving directions:
Go straight on
Turn back. / Go back.
Turn left / right
Go along street
Take the first/second road
on the left/right
Its on the left/right.
(just) around the corner
at the crossroads;
go past the
until you get to..
Remember!
In English they use Excuse
me! to get somebodys
attention.
To apologize, you say Im
sorry!
Do you know?
Your turn!
1. Look at the map. Try to find all the places that Andra and her friends would like to see.
2. Listen to their dialogue again. Can you follow their route on the map?
3. Practise reading the text. Its important to get the intonation right!
4. Match these directions to the Useful language pictures.
turn left, stop at the crossroads, take the first road on the right, go straight on, turn right, go past the
crossroads, go back, take the second road on the left
5. This is a similar dialogue between Adriana, Mihai and another Londoner. Can you fill in the
missing bits? Choose from these: left; Excuse; straight on; second; can we get; can you tell us.
Tip! Use the map to do this exercise. Andra and Sergiu are still in front of Buckingham Palace.
Mihai: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . me! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . the way to Regents Street from here, please?
L2: Sure. Turn . . . . . . . . . . and follow the footpath in The Green Park until you get to Green Park
Station. Then, turn right into Picadilly Street. The . . . . . . . . . . . . . road on the right is Regents

Get ready!
Well done! You managed to finish the first module of the English
course in the Second Chance Programme.
Now its time to use your learning diary again. In order to be able
to communicate well in a foreign language, you need four basic
skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing. During this
module you have made a lot of progress in listening and reading
and some progress in speaking and writing. Which of the two
main skills in this module did you find easier? Which of the four
skills do you think will be the most useful to you in your real life
(for your job, travelling, etc.)? What kind of exercises could help
you improve those skills that you need the most?
Before final assessment, go over each lesson again and review
especially the introductory sections: Can you, Remember!,
Useful language and the final one (Check this!). This will
help you identify the areas where you still need some practice,
so that you will know what to work on. Then, go through the
self-assessment exercises at the end of each unit in the Students
Guide. You probably have already taken some oral and written
tests: go over them again and note especially your teachers
corrections. Make sure you understood what you did wrong and
know what the right answers are. Ask your teacher about
anything which is not quite clear yet.
Next, look at the words and expressions used in each lesson. You
might want to use your class notes or the Vocabulary section at
the end of the Students Guide.
Finally, try to design similar exercises to those in the self-
assessment worksheets. Work with a classmate and exchange
your exercises. Discuss the correct answers together. Whenever
you are not sure about the right answer, check it in the book or
ask your teacher.
Now you are ready for final assessment. More than anything, be
positive about it: it is not meant to sanction insuccess, but to
support your learning. Good luck!
