Unit 1: Planning Ahead

This Unit extends and follows up Module 3,

Unit 1, Daily Activities. In that Unit, the
focus was on time relations, past, present,
and future. The emphasis here is on the
future, with degrees of certainty, and how
modals are used to express the uncertain
future.
In the first lesson, Departure, Max
prepares to go on a business trip. The
narrative shifts from planning about the
future to talking about the past and making
comments about the habitual present. The
main focus is on time phrases and
contrasting tenses. In Choices, the focus is
on conditionality, degrees of certainty, and
giving reasons. This lays the groundwork
for more advanced work in Levels 3 and 4.
In Meeting a Friend, we see examples of
how to use clauses and relative pronouns to
link ideas, such as He wrote a story that
appeared on television.

5
 In Questions and Focus Exercises,
students test both their comprehension and
their ability to use the target vocabulary and
structures to reconstruct sentences from the
lessons.

Objectives
The students must have:

1. Understood, used, and asked questions

in the simple past, present, and future
tenses.
2. Understood and used time phrases and
adverb clauses to indicate the time of an
event.
3. Understood sentences that use
infinitives to name an action.
4. Understood the difference between the
use of modals, such as will, may, and can,
and the use of be going to.

6
Learning Points

1. Adverb phrases and clauses (time

phrases)
2. Conditionals and suppositions with if
3. Degrees of certainty with modals, be going
to
4. Future with modals, be going (to), and
Wh-questions
5. Infinitive (to name an action)
6. It is + adj. (to describe a state or factual
conditions)
7. Noun phrases
8. Relative pronouns (how, that, what, who)
9. Reason, result

Key Sentences

Departure

Next week Max is going on a business trip. He’s

going to fly to London from San Francisco. He
tried to buy airplane tickets last week, but the
flight was full. Yesterday his travel agent called and
told him there was space on the flight.

7
Max is going to get a ticket in the mail tomorrow.
He’s going to take British Airways because it has a
non-stop flight. It takes about ten hours to fly
from San Francisco to London. If he leaves on
Saturday afternoon, he’ll arrive in London on
Sunday morning.

Max is going to arrive in London on Sunday. The

next day, on Monday, he’s going to attend a
meeting. However, he’ll be very tired. The time
difference between London and San Francisco is
eight hours. That means when it’s late at night in
London, it’s afternoon in San Francisco. As a
result, it’s often hard to sleep in the hotel at night.
Max will probably a late movie on TV before he
goes to bed. If he still can sleep, he may telephone
his wife and children in San Francisco.

It is always nice to travel and see the world, but

Max Misses his family. Whenever he is away from
home, he looks forward to coming back. As the
saying goes, “There’s no place like home.”

8
Choices

When he lands in London, he’ll claim his baggage

and go through customs. Then, he’ll have to
decide how to get to his hotel. One choice is to go
by taxi. But the taxi fare is expensive. Another
choice is to go by bus or subway. It’s cheaper to
go by bus or subway. In London, the subway
system is called the Underground.

Max isn’t true about what he will do. If he’s tired,

he may decide to take a taxi. On the other hand,
he may decide to take a bus. If he decides to take a
bus or a taxi, he can see the countryside.

Once he arrives at his hotel, he will check-in.

Hotels are expensive in London, but weekend
rates are a bit less. Sometimes it’s possible to get a
cheaper rate if you stay for several days. Max has a
good travel agent, so he’s going to get a 20%
discount.

Meeting a friend

After he checks into his room, Max is going to

telephone a friend. One of his best friends, John,

9
lives in Brighton. Brighton is about an hour south
of London by train.

Max’s friend, John, is a famous writer. Max is

looking forward to seeing him. Whenever they get
together, they go out to dinner and talk about
many things. It’s always interesting to John. John
has an interesting mind. He is always thinking
about new stories and new projects.

Last year, for example, ha wrote a story that

appeared on television next year. It was a story
about a man who lost his memory. Now he’s
working on a new story that will appear on
television next year.

John also knows a lot about wine. Whenever they

have dinner together, John chooses a great bottle
of wine. They have to be careful not to drink too
much.

When they finish eating, they both try to pay the

bill. Sometimes, Max pays. Sometimes John pays.

10
Bus Schedules

Here is the schedule of buses going into London.

Buses leave every 20 minutes, at 11:00, 11:20,
11:40, and 12:00.

If it’s now 11:30, the next bus is going to leave in

about 10 minutes, at 11:40. If it is now 11:45, the
last bus left about five minutes ago, at 11:40.

Unit 2: Matrix Vocabulary

This Unit introduces vocabulary related to five

subject areas of importance in daily conversations.
It is important to extend the vocabulary in this
Unit, for example, in Things to Eat, by listening
to additional types of foods and doing role plays

22
where students practice ordering in a restaurant or
buying food at a store.

Goals:
a. To be able to talk about and order foods
and drink in various situations.
b. To be able to talk about sources of
information and news, both written and
oral.
c. To be able to talk about and use colors to
describe everyday objects.

Objectives
The students must have:
1. Been introduced to socially acceptable
ways of talking about food, drinks, and
requesting information, including
personal preferences.
2. Improved their vocabulary by helping
them organize words into natural sets of
words that provide a framework for
memory.

The first two categories, Thinks to Eat and

Thinks to drink, focus on types of food and
drink, and ways to order and request them.

23
Mastery of this type of language is essential since
these types of situations are very common.

In each other three categories, a set of four

examples is introduced, such as four different
kinds of “Things to Read”. These should be
added to, along with words are associated with the
category. For example, novels, authors,
technical articles, and poems are all useful
vocabulary associated with this category.
