Listening

Introduction

You are going to listen to different kinds of conversations.

You will hear people talking about a birthday, their family, their school.

But ... before you begin, read these tips.

Before you start listening:

• Pick the answer you think is the best and continue with the next question.

• If you're not sure about the answer, don't doubt too long.

Reading

Introduction

There are all kinds of texts: letters, articles, stories, advertisements and poems. You are going to read some examples of these texts.

You will read about people, their families and where they come from.

By doing the exercises you'll be able to improve your reading skills.

We wish you pleasant reading!

Tips

Before you start reading:

Don't start reading straight away.

First look at the title, the picture and highlighted words.

These can help you understand what the text is about.

• Read the introduction.

• Read the questions before you start reading the text.

• If you see multiple-choice questions, look at the options and try to see what the differences are.

While reading:

It will be very very difficult to understand everything you are going to read.

If you see a word you do not know, it is very important to ask yourself if this word is important to understand the text. If you understand the text without knowing the word, there is no need to use a dictionary. If the word is important to understand the text (and / or to answer questions) go ahead and use your dictionary!

Just make sure you don't use the dictionary all the time!

(28)

Tips (1)

Speaking tips

Before you start speaking:

• Look at the instructions carefully.

• Try to think of words and expressions you might need.

• Use as many words and chunks/expressions you already know.

• Try to work with a small list of key WORDS (and not key sentences) to remember what you should say.

Remember it is not a writing or reading exercise!

Don't forget to have a look at page 2 for the tips while listening!

(98)

Tips (2)

While speaking:

• Make sure you start a conversation by greeting the other person in a polite way.

• Look at your partner or at your audience.

• Speak calmly and not too quietly.

• You can use a note, but make sure there are only a few words on it!

• If you don't know a word, you can always explain what you can use it for or explain what it looks like.

• Try to keep on talking, even if you don't really know how you should say something.

• If you don't understand your partner, you can ask for an explanation or ask your partner to repeat the question.

• End a conversation by saying goodbye.

Clue: if you practise a conversation a second time, it will be much better!
