 Prologue
This HOME-LAB 2 has been designed as a self-study book to be used at home reinforcing
what you have learned with the book "Moving on 2" and your practice sessions.

It has twelve units. Each one of them contains different types of exercises based on
association, comprehension and audio practice, which will help you improve your listening
ability and pronunciation.

At the end of each unit you will nd a self-evaluation practice that will allow you to test the
acquired knowledge throughout the units.

In this booklet there are two main segments, exercises and this answer key. The last one is a
useful tool to verify your progress through the learning process.

The following are the steps to develop your HOME-LAB:

1. You must previously complete your "Weekly Planner" for each unit of the book.
2. Then carry on with the exercises displayed in your HOME-LAB.
NOTE: For those activities that require the use of Audio, you can listen as many times as
necessary.
3. Look up in the dictionary for the unknown vocabulary in order to understand meaning
within a context.
4. Once the exercises are completed, it is important to check for the correct answers.
5. These icons will help you identify the type of exercise to be done.
