Dear Student,

Welcome to the English Discoveries Student Workbook for Basic 3. Using this workbook
will help you practice your English.

Each unit of the Student Workbook corresponds directly to a unit in the English
Discoveries Basic 3 course. After completing a unit within the course, you should
complete the corresponding activities in the workbook.

The units in this workbook integrate all four language skills: Listening, Reading, Speaking,
and Writing. The workbook units also provide a wide range of grammar and vocabulary
activities.

If you want to refer to the computer lesson texts while you are away from your computer,
you can find them in the workbook Appendix.

Special emphasis has been given throughout the workbook to speaking and writing
activities. You will see that you have many opportunities to express yourself in both
spoken and written English.

We hope you enjoy using this program,

The English Discoveries Team
