Revision after every other unit. The Extra Practice and Pronunciation exercises at the back of
the book are optional.
Note: We don’t use the edition with access to My English Lab but you are free to use it.

Speaking: The main purpose is fluency, not grammar accuracy, so encourage your students to
interact with their partners as naturally as possible. Give your students plenty of practice in the
use of functions.

Listening: Listening practice is essential for students to understand so make the most of it by using
the class audio CDs at all times.

EXTENSIVE READING: Start with "Newspaper Chase" in August when your students will
have more knowledge of the language. We advise you to carry out the activities throughout the
book and to consult the link below for further practice. www.penguinreaders.com

Please help your students develop their reading skills by encouraging them to read the story and
exploit it through different activities. By no means should you give them just a summary to
study by heart.

* For further grammar practice you may consult ‘Oxford Practice Grammar’ (Basic) by Coe,
Harrison and Paterson, ‘Macmillan English Grammar in Context’ (Essential) by S. Clarke and
´Essential Grammar in Use’ (Elementary) by R. Murphy.

NOTE FOR THE FINAL TEST

Simple Past Tense will only be tested in Part A of the Written exam, it will not be included in
Part B (Writing). However, you should give your students the writing exercises including past
tense which appear in the book. As for the Oral exam, students will be asked a few questions
using Past Tense in Part A, but not in Part B (Reader).
