Dear Student,
Each unit of the workbook corresponds directly to a unit in the English Discoveries Intermediate 1
course. You should use this workbook together with the course. For example, after you do the
listening component from the course, we recommend you do the listening section in the workbook.
Your workbook also contains copies of the Explore texts from the English Discoveries course, so
you can refer to its content when you are away from the computer.
Each unit in the workbook has four sections: Listening, Reading, Speaking and Grammar.
• The Listening section will help you practice your listening skills. A variety of genre such as voice
mail messages, radio programs and TV video clips are included.
• The Reading section will reinforce your understanding of different kinds of reading texts such as
postcards, ads, stories and newspaper articles.
• The Speaking section will give you the opportunity to practice different speaking functions such
as ordering a meal in a restaurant, asking for directions, making suggestions, etc.
• The Grammar section will help you practice the main points of the online unit within the context
of the unit theme. This way you will learn to use grammar structures in real-life situations.
Special emphasis has been given throughout the workbook to speaking and writing activities and you
will see that you have a lot of opportunity to express yourself in both spoken and written English.
We hope you enjoy using this program and wish you lots of luck!

Duke: Welcome to “Local Athletes” Today's guest is Joe Norse, a secondary school student
who has helped his football team win the city championship for the last three years. I
myself have seen Joe play, and let me tell you, he has really mastered the game of
football. Joe, your school, Jefferson High, has been attended by some of the greatest
football players ever. Hank “The Tank” Perry and Dick Verall both graduated from
Jefferson. How does it feel to be playing on the same field as those great players?
Joe: Well, Duke, it motivates me, for sure. Our school has always had a great history of
producing famous athletes.
Duke: Your coach, Fraser Washington, always says: “A team that is motivated is a team that
wins.” Do you agree?
Joe: Yes, I do. It's a fact that even a team with lots of great players can lose if there is no
motivation to win.
Duke: Joe, I understand you've already been invited to visit several colleges that are interested in
you. Have you accepted any offers yet?
Joe: No, not yet, Duke. Right now I'm thinking mostly about passing my exams and getting my
diploma.
Duke: Well, you've made an intelligent decision. Good luck, Joe.
Joe: Thanks, Duke.
Professor David Shift, who is the Director of Early Childhood Education at the University of Highville,
says, “We must simply accept the fact that children today know more than children did years ago.”

Dr. Idle believes that if there is already so much competition in kindergarten, there is no limit to how
much there will be in high school. “We don't need to make it any harder on students than it already
is,” she says. “After all, there were still many college graduates when playing was all children did in
kindergarten.”
Many people who agree with Idle say that early childhood programs should offer subjects that
children enjoy and do well in naturally, like art, music, science, and gym. After all, learning should be
child's play.

Eric: So what brought you to the States?
René: I was working in the Paris office. I had been there five years, and I felt I needed a change. I
had learned there everything I could. So, I asked for a transfer to the international
department, and here I am.
Eric: What kind of work have you been doing?
René: Lately, I've been practicing my English and trying to get used to this life in the United
States. That's what I've been doing.
Eric: So, how do you and your wife like living here?
René: Very nice, but we've only been here a short while, really. My wife misses her family.
Eric: She gets homesick?
René: Yes, she gets homesick. She's alone all day, you know. I work, I keep busy. But she's here
by herself. I think she has too much free time. She's been calling her family almost every
day in France. And calling long-distance can be very expensive, and I'm not sure it helps
very much...

Mrs. Bankes, whose daughter is participating in this year's exchange group, says, “I think it's a
wonderful opportunity for Kim. Although she has only been away for a month, I have already started
to miss her. I've been making long-distance calls to Paris about once a week since she left.”
Anyone who has seen Kim in Paris knows that she hasn't been missing anyone. Kim is very happy
with the program. She says that her French has really improved, and hearing her French accent, it is
easy to believe her.
“I haven't been homesick even once,” Kim says. “I have made several new friends and I have a
great roommate, Chantal, who I will keep in touch with when I leave. I don't even feel like going
home at all.”
The exchange program also helps these young people meet again after the program has ended, and
friends like Chantal and Kim will probably meet at Kim's home in Scotland next year. Of course,
that's if Kim hasn't already decided to stay in France and become a French citizen!
Parents who are interested in sending their children abroad on this program should contact the
Craighouse School in Pollock, Glasgow.

Last year we had a fireworks display and our annual bake sale. I baked old-fashioned

There is usually a parade as well.

“I've never had sweet potatoes or pumpkin pie. They sound interesting,” Kenji said. “But what is this

“Oh, it's an annual event. Every Thanksgiving a giant parade is held by one of the most famous
department stores in New York,” Andrew explained. “And at the end of the parade, children can

BAD WEATHER
Weather
Announcer: And here's Will Tide with the weather report.
Will: Good morning, listeners. Wrap yourselves up warmly today, because the weather will
continue to be cold and frosty with a chance of fog in low areas. According to national
weather reports, the storm which was expected later today is traveling at fifty miles an
hour, and should reach this area around midnight tonight. Strong winds and heavy rains
are expected, along with thunder and lightning. There is a chance of flooding, and light
ships have been warned of the danger. Temperatures will be below average for this
time of year, with an expected low of forty degrees Fahrenheit.
Tomorrow will be cool and dry, with cloudy skies and normal temperatures.
Tomorrow evening temperatures will continue to go up, and bright sunshine and above-
average temperatures are expected for the weekend.
Well, I'm sure we'll all be glad to have a break from the rain.
That's all from the weather room. So for now, stay warm and keep dry.
Weather Warning
This is a warning from the National Weather Department. Although we have been having a lot of
warm sunshine recently, the weather is going to change very soon. According to our weather
reporter, a fall in temperature to below five degrees Fahrenheit is expected by tomorrow morning.
There will be freezing winds of up to sixty miles an hour as well as heavy rains, which may cause
flooding in the city and terrible damage. People should stay home and look after themselves. Please
make sure that your children and animals are kept inside.

Music
DJ: Hello, listeners. This is Lex Benedict on WNOW. I hope you're enjoying yourselves
this evening. We have some guests with us tonight that all you college students out
there should be interested in. They are the members of a hot new rock band called
“The Institute of Music”, and they are all graduates of State University. Their first
concert was held last week at the University’s science auditorium, where they were
a great hit with the students. They say that attendance at the concert was higher
than at most lectures. Now, let’s hear the musicians introduce themselves.
Professor: OK. I'll start... I'm Professor Barry Jameson, and I'm the lead singer of the band.
DJ: It's very unusual to find a geography professor who is also in a rock band. Can you
tell us when you started being interested in music?
Professor: Well, I was given a guitar by my wife when I was accepted as a professor here at
State University. I've been playing ever since.
DJ: OK. Let's take a break while we listen to your new song, “Examination Blues”...
and here it is...
Have you ever thought about the cigarette packs and food wrappers that people in your city throw
away? Harry Morgan has; he collects them. Have you heard of recycling? Well, Harry doesn't just
recycle; he creates works of art from the things he collects.
Ever since Harry was a child, he has been interested in making models out of unusual things. Over
the years, he has used a variety of materials. “The good thing about garbage,” Harry's been heard
to say, “is that there's always plenty of it.” Some of his earlier works were made from bicycle parts,
broken machines, and even old farm equipment. They have been made from every piece of garbage
that Harry could get his hands on.
Harry's latest collection, which is being exhibited at the Plaza Art Gallery, is even more unusual. He
has made sculptures that are built from wastepaper only. One of these, which is called “Harmony”
is made of empty cigarette packs and matchboxes. Another work, called “Love in the Morning” has
been made out of breakfast cereal boxes and pieces of old newspaper.

is specially wrapped, so let the baby open it by himself. Let's speak to one another soon. Give a
kiss to the baby for me. Bye.”
Sending a Package
The first step in sending a parcel is to find a box, a large envelope, or some strong paper in which
your parcel may be wrapped. Make sure that it is wrapped properly, or the post office will not
accept it.
Next, decide which kind of delivery is best, according to how urgently the package is needed.
Surface mail, which sends parcels by boat, is the cheapest, but also the slowest. Regular airmail is
faster, but may not be good for heavy packages. If you want your parcel to be delivered by the next
weekday, it should be sent express.
If you choose the regular mail service, and you have a scale and stamps at home, you can simply
call the post office to find out how much postage is needed. Then, all you have to do is place your
parcel in the nearest mailbox and with luck, it will be delivered on time. If, however, you choose the
express service or surface mail, you will have to take your package to the post office, where it will
be weighed and you will be told how much postage needs to be paid.
Airmail to Tokyo
- I'd like to send this package airmail to Tokyo.
- Sure. Let's see. It weighs 14 pounds. That's $40.
- Sorry. How much did you say?
- Forty dollars, ma'am.
- How long will it take to get there?
- It'll be there in about ten days.

EMERGENCY
Emergency
John, where are you? It's Mary. I've been trying to call you all evening. Listen, John. There's been
an accident. We were crossing that bridge on Route 6 when this big truck came speeding towards
us. It crossed over onto the wrong side of the road, and there was nowhere for us to go. It was
awful!
I've never been so scared in my life. An ambulance was called and we were rushed to the
emergency room at Parker General Hospital. I'm OK, but Mike's being kept in the hospital. Nothing
serious; he's just hurt his leg. We've been waiting to find out whether it's broken. Please call me as
soon as you get in. Bye.
Marge agreed, and they set out. However, on the way to the park, Marge felt a pain in her stomach.
“You've been very quiet these past few minutes, dear. Is everything all right?” Marge looked at Alex,
her face white. “Quick! We must get to the hospital. The baby is coming. Forget about asking for
directions. I know the way. No! Take the road on the left. You didn't signal left!” she shouted at
him. “I hope we get there in time,” Alex said. “We must rush.” “You've just gone over the speed
limit!” shouted Marge.
“And you're having a baby!” Alex shouted back. Suddenly, the car stopped.
Marge turned to Alex. “Why have you stopped?” she said. “Go on!”
“I can't. We don't have any more gas. I'll have to call an ambulance from the car phone. You know, I
knew a woman who had a baby in an ambulance.”
