Getting around Lesson 1
1 Reading To skim for gist; to confi rm or correct
information
2 Vocabulary To present and practice forms of
transportation
• Think of a member of the Gonzalez family. Students guess who it is by asking yes/no
questions: Is it a man? (No, it isn’t.) Does she like painting? (No, she doesn’t.) Does she play the piano? (Yes, she does.) Is it Lisa? (Yes, it is.)
1 Reading
a • Students look at the photo and the title of the
text. Ask: What city are we going to read about? (Chicago.)
• Look at the list of headings with the class. Ask
students to read the fi rst paragraph of the text
quickly and match it with the correct heading (on
foot). Ask students how they found the answer (the paragraph mentions shoes).
• Students skim the text and match the headings
with the paragraphs. Remind students that it isn’t
necessary to understand every word in the text
in order to complete the task.
Answers: on foot, by train, by bus, by taxi, by bike,
by boat, by car
b • A volunteer reads the fi rst sentence. The class
decides if it is true or false. Ask: How do you know? • Students decide if the rest of the sentences are
true or false, and offer evidence from the text for
their answers.
Answers: 1. True. (The text mentions subways and
elevated trains.) 2. True. (It’s diffi cult to park.)
3. False. (Trips last a minimum of one hour.)
4. False. (Children under seven ride for free.)
2 Vocabulary: transportation
a • Write goes on land, goes on water and goes in the air as headings on the board. Students copy
them in their notebook and sort the forms of
transportation into each category. Ask: Which form of transportation doesn’t go in any category? Volunteers write the answers on the board.
Going places! 2
Unit 2
Answers: goes on land—train, bus, motorcycle,
taxi, skateboard, bike, car; goes on water—ferry,
ship, boat; goes in the air—airplane. Subway doesn’t fi t any category because it goes
underground.
b • Ask a student: How do you get to school? Ask the
class if there is another possible way. Discuss
how some forms of transportation are more
convenient than others, depending on the
distance involved, how many people are traveling,
and so on.
• Put students into pairs to discuss possible ways,
and the best ways, to get to the different places
from their home.
There are many reasons for reading a text in real
life, and we often don’t have to understand every
word. It’s important for students to know why
they are reading a text and to choose their reading
strategy accordingly.
• Students imagine that the local tourist offi ce
wants to publish a brochure about the best ways
to get around the area.
• Students form groups of three. Each member
chooses two forms of transportation in the local
area and writes about them, using the text on
Chicago as a model.
• Students compile their information into a
brochure and give it to other groups to read.

4 Grammar review and pronunciation
To review the past simple; to practice the
pronunciation of –ed in past simple verbs
• Write a sentence with transportation vocabulary
on paper. Show the sentence to a volunteer, who
mimes it to the class: I go to school by bus. • The student who guesses correctly mimes the next
sentence.

Useful English: buying a ticket
a • Tell students they are going to hear four
conversations with people buying tickets.
• Play CD 1 Track 10. Students listen and identify
the forms of transportation.
Answers: 1. bus 2. train 3. taxi 4. boat
b • Students read the sentences and try to guess
the missing words. Play the track again. Students
complete the sentences. Elicit or explain the
meaning of unfamiliar terms.
Answers: 1. One, round 2. adult, child
3. station 4. ten minutes
c • Divide the class into A/B pairs. Students A turn to
page 101. Students B turn to page 105. Students
must not look at each other’s book. Read the
instructions together. Students take turns being
ticket sellers and customers.
Answers: Student A: Total cost for one-way tickets
to Chicago for two seniors, one adult, one child,
one child under two—$115 Student B: Total
cost for round-trip tickets to Boston for one
senior, two adults, two children—$102.
4 Grammar review and pronunciation:
past simple and –ed
a • Students look at the verbs in the box. Ask: What is the past form of each verb?
• Students use the past forms to complete Emily’s
letter and then check their answers in pairs.
Answers: had, went, took, walked, looked, stayed,
didn’t like, did/get
b • Students delete the incorrect rule about the past
simple. Choose students to give examples for
each correct rule.
Answer: The incorrect rule is 3, as we don’t add
–ed to form the past of irregular verbs.
• Write on the board: I had a great birthday. Joey didn’t like it. Did you get my thank-you note?
• Explain:
- We use the past form in affi rmative sentences.
- We use didn’t and the infi nitive in negative
sentences.
- We use did and the infi nitive in questions.
• Ask: - Do we use the past form in questions and negatives?
(No, because did and didn't indicates the past.)
c • Write the phonetic symbols /d/, /t/ and /Id/ on
the board. Pronounce each phoneme and then
explain that the sounds are the three possible
pronunciations of the fi nal –ed in the past simple
form of regular verbs.
• Students read the information in the table. Explain
that unvoiced sounds do not use the vocal chords
and voiced sounds do.
• Play CD 1 Track 11. Students listen and write the
phonemes next to the examples.
Answers: /Id/, /t/, /d/
d • Students predict the pronunciation of –ed in the
seven verbs and write the symbol.
• Play CD 1 Track 12. Students listen and check
their answers.
Answers: /d/, /t/, /Id/, /t/, /Id/, /t/, /d/
• Brainstorm fi fteen regular verbs with the class and
write their past form on the board: visited, asked, loved.
• Students draw a three-by-three grid in their
notebook. In each square, they write /d/, /t/ or /Id/.
• Call out verbs from the list. Students write the
past form in a square with the appropriate symbol.
• The fi rst player to fi ll all the squares wins and
becomes the next caller.

This month Your Space reader Armando Marks tells us about his best trip ever!Hi! Last summer when I was visiting my cousins in France, I had the chance to travel on this TGV. TGV stands for “train a grande vitesse” (that’s French for “high-speed train”). It’s the fastest train in the world. It can go as fast as 574 km/h, but it usually travels at around 300 km/h. It was amazing. It was like being in an airplane—comfortable and very fast. How cool is that?
What were you doing when you were eleven? Going to school and doing your homework? We’re pretty sure that you weren’t competing in an international extreme sports competition, right? Well, Nyjah Huston was! Nyjah was the youngest person ever to compete in the X Games, where he fi nished eighth in the men’s skateboard park competition. He also appeared on the cover of Slap, a U.S. skateboarding magazine, when he was only ten. Nyjah was born in 1994 and he’s from Davis, California. These days Nyjah fl ies around the world to go to competitions, fi lm videos and give demonstrations of his great talent.

Materials: A tray, a cloth.
• Borrow small objects from students, such as a
watch, a pen, a notebook and an earring.
• Arrange the objects on the tray. Everyone studies
the objects for one minute.
• Cover the objects with the cloth. Ask: Who remembers the arrangement? (There was an earring next to a watch.)
• Uncover and check. Then repeat with other
arrangements and objects.
1 Listening
a • Ask: Who are the people in the pictures? (Lisa and Kevin.) Where are they? (A bus station.) What are the differences between the two pictures?
• Tell students they are going to listen to Lisa talking
to her dad on the phone. Play CD 1 Track 15. Ask:
Which picture shows what happened? Answer: Picture 1
b • Students read the sentences. Play the track again.
Students correct the sentences and then check
their answers in pairs. Choose pairs to give the
answers.

• Write the examples in 2a on the board. Explain:
- We use the past continuous to describe actions in
progress at a time in the past.
- We form affi rmative sentences with was or were +
–ing.
• Remind students how questions and negatives are
formed with was/were: - We form negative sentences by adding not to was
and were.
- In questions, was or were comes before the subject.
• Ask: Is the word order always the same? (No.) When is it different? (In questions, the subject and was/were are inverted.)
c • Students unscramble the questions and write
them in their notebook. In pairs, students ask and
answer the questions. Choose several pairs to
read their questions and answers.

3 Reading and vocabulary To scan for specifi c
information; to present chat abbreviations
4 Speaking and writing To invent a conversation
based on pictures; to write a chat session
• In pairs, students draw a four-by-four grid on paper.
• They write four activities across the top (chatting,
doing homework, sleeping, writing notes) and four
time expressions down the side (yesterday, at 9
a.m., during the break, in English class).
• Students secretly place three Xs for battleships in
their grid.
• Students take turns asking past continuous
questions to fi nd their opponent’s battleships:
A: Were you chatting in English class? B: No, I wasn’t. You missed. My turn.
3 Reading and vocabulary: chat abbreviations
a • Ask: Who are the people? (Kevin, Lisa and Lisa’s friend Mike.) What’s happening in each picture?
• Students scan the chat session quickly to fi nd out
what time the events in the pictures were taking
place. Ask questions to check the answers: What time were Kevin and Lisa waiting for the bus? What time was Mike talking on the phone? What time were Kevin and Lisa riding on the bus?Answers: 5 p.m., 5–5:30 p.m., 7 p.m., 5:30 p.m.
b • Students match the words with the abbreviations
or symbols in the chat session.
Answers: 1. 4 2. 2 3. & 4. @ 5. u 6. til
• Ask: Do we use capital letters or punctuation in chat sessions? (Not usually, but we can use all capital letters and use question and exclamation marks to show emotions.)
• Elicit more examples of chat abbreviations and
symbols: k for OK, w/ for with, gr8 for great, cos for
because, cm for call me, cu for see you. c • Students read the questions and then read the
text more carefully to answer them. Ask: What are the faces called and what are they for? (Emoticons. They show how the writer’s feeling.)
Answers: 1. He thought that Lisa forgot about
their plans. 2. He was talking to Alessandra for a
long time, so his line was busy when Lisa tried to
call.
If students have diffi culty answering the questions
about the chat session, ask more specifi c questions
to help them: Were Lisa and Mike going to do their homework together? (Yes.) Did they do it together? (No.) Why not? (Lisa was waiting for a bus.) So why was Mike angry? (He thought that Lisa forgot.)
4 Speaking and writing
a • Divide the class into pairs. Students turn to page
108. Read the instructions and the questions
together.
• Pairs look at the two sets of pictures and discuss
the answers to the questions.
b • Pairs choose one of the situations and invent a
conversation based on the picture. Pairs perform
their conversation for another pair.
• Pairs write a chat session for their conversation,
using Lisa and Mike’s text as a model.
• Pairs give their text to another pair to read.
• Students study Poster 2 for two minutes. Cover
the poster. Students form groups of four. Ask: It was 8:30. What was everybody doing?
• Groups write as much as they can remember
about what the people were doing: A man and a woman were cooking in the kitchen. Three children were watching TV in the living room. They were sitting on the sofa…
• Each group reads their sentences. They win a point
for each sentence that no other group has. The
group with the most points wins.

transportation. Ask: Are cars the best way to get around today? What are the good and bad things about different forms of transportation?
• Elicit the most common forms of transportation
used by students and list them on the board.
• Students form pairs and compare the forms of
transportation: Bicycles are cheaper than the bus. Taking the bus is quicker than walking. Cars are very convenient.
a • Students look at the picture of the car. Ask: What do you think this car can do?
• Students read the list of features. Answer any
vocabulary questions. Students check the boxes
next to the features they think the car has.
b • Students scan the article to check their
predictions. Students form pairs to check their
work.
Answers: The car of the future tells you the best
route, becomes smaller in traffi c and turns off
home appliances by remote control.
• Ask: Were you surprised by any of the features? c • Ask: What are the most important features of a car
of the future? Students rank the list of features in a
from the most important to the least important.
d • Students form groups of three to compare their
rankings. Encourage students to give reasons for
their answers.
• Ask groups: What other features are important for a car of the future? Groups add at least two more
features. Help with ideas as necessary: Think about technology, the environment, performance, size and so on. Groups reach a consensus on the top fi ve
features of their car of the future.
e • Groups design their car of the future and write a
description using the article as a model. Help with
vocabulary as necessary.
• Distribute poster paper. Groups mount their
drawings and a fi nal version of their description to
display in the classroom.
• Students read all the descriptions. Take a class
vote on the best design and the car with the best
features. Discuss which features people look for in
a car and if tastes are changing.
Future travel
You and your world: Fairness
Materials: A large drawing or clipart image of
Justice, blindfolded and carrying scales; poster
paper (one per group of four)
• Put up the drawing of Justice. Ask: What does this person represent? (Justice.) Why is Justice blindfolded? (She sees all people as equal.) Why is she carrying scales? (She is fair and balanced.)
• Emphasize that justice and fairness have similar
meanings. Write fairness on the board. Ask what
it means: treating people reasonably and equally, without letting your personal opinion affect your judgment; playing by the rules.
• Role-play a typical family situation: a younger brother/sister wants to stay out just as late as an older brother/sister. Give out roles: parents, older
and younger brothers/sisters. Students debate the
problem. The parents decide what to do.
• Students discuss these questions: Is treating everyone equally always fair? What about allowing for differences in age, physical strength or abilities? Are all fair decisions popular ones? Why not?
• Students think of unfair situations at school.
Groups of four design a poster or create a
computer presentation answering the question:
How can we be fair at school?

The Car of the Future
Welcome to the car of the future! I had the chance to test drive this
fantastic car, and it was like being in a movie. As soon as I turned the key, the car started telling me the route to my destination. And as I pulled out of the garage, it was already talking about tra c problems on the road ahead. Uh-oh! I forgot to turn o the bedroom light... But that s no problem for this car, which can turn o all the
lights and appliances at home by remote control. And the best part? At the touch of a button, the car gets smaller, so you can always nd a parking spot downtown. Amazing! It also
runs on electricity, so it s good for the environment and
cheap to drive, too!
