Dear Student,
Welcome to the English Discoveries Workbook Intermediate 1.

This workbook is especially for you! It will help you use, practice and progress in English.
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!

THE LORD MAYORS SHOW

The Lord Mayors show is a giant

parade that is held every year in the city
of London. Over 5,500 people attend
the parade and it is the biggest event of
its kind in the world. All the main roads
are closed for the procession, so if you
want to get close to the parade, you
have to arrive very early in the morning.
The Lord Mayors show has been
celebrated by the people of London
since 1215. The mayor rides through the
streets of London in a special carriage.

This carriage is made of gold and was
made for the mayor in 1751 by a local
artist. During the year the carriage can
be seen in the Museum of London.
The mayor is accompanied by lots of
people dressed in special costumes.
In the evening a fireworks display is
held on a boat on Londons River

SENDING A PACKAGE
31491
a. Did you understand the instructions for sending a package in the Reading section? Here are
some post office instructions for preparing packages before you send them. Read the
instructions and then write the headings from the next page above the correct paragraphs.
SIMPLE STEPS FOR PREPARING A PACKAGE
(1)
If the object you are sending could be easily damaged, it should be packed
in a box. Choose a box with enough room for cushioning material around
the contents. If you are reusing an old box, make sure that you cover all the
previous labels and addresses with heavy black pen or sticky labels. It is
also a good idea to include a label inside the box with the address where
your parcel is to be sent.
(2)
Soft material should be placed all around the object to be sent. You can
use old newspaper, packing paper or bubble wrap. Close and shake the
box to see if you have enough cushioning. If you hear the object moving,
you need to add some more cushioning.
(3)
The box should be sealed with 2-inch-wide (5 cm) adhesive tape. You
should use special packing tape, which is stronger than regular tape.
Dont use string because it can get caught in the machines that the post
office uses for processing the mail.
(4)
Write clearly on the front of the package the complete name and
address of the person to whom you are sending the package. On the
back you should write your own name and address, in case the
package gets lost. You should always try to include the correct postal
code.
(5)
If you know how much your package weighs and you have the
correct number of stamps, it can be dropped into a post office
collection box. If your package contains something valuable, it
should be sent registered mail so that you have a record if your
parcel doesnt arrive. To send a parcel registered mail, you must
take it to the post office and fill out a special form.

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.
College for Kids?

by Harriet Nelson
Pre-school education is changing. Once, elementary school was the place to learn 1-2-3 and A-BC. But today, highly motivated parents have begun teaching these basics to their children before
they start school. Kindergarten has now become a mini-college, where geography, history, and even
mathematics are taught. Small children are even given homework assignments.
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.
62 Appendix
INTERMEDIATE 1
Eleanor Idle, of the New School Institute, doesn't agree. Children need to be children. They learn as
they play. They don't need formal education this early. It just isn't normal. Soon they'll be given
entrance exams for kindergarten. Very young children shouldn't spend their time worrying about
grades and diplomas!
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.
Math Test

How did you do on that math test yesterday?

Study Exchange
Craighouse School in Glasgow has been sending children overseas to France on an exchange
program since 1971. The students' French improves a lot, and when they come back they usually
no longer need a French tutor to help them outside of school. The children who take part in the
exchange program have to be over the age of thirteen.
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.

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 aboveaverage 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.

among the first immigrants to the U.S. When they first came to America, they saw that there was
enough food and opportunity for everyone. They were even helped by the Native Americans, who
taught them how to grow all kinds of new vegetables, such as corn and yams, or sweet potatoes.
So every year we celebrate Thanksgiving Day.
What do you do on Thanksgiving Day? asked Kenji.
Well, it's traditional to eat a big meal together. We eat food that symbolizes the new food that was
found here by our ancestors. At our house we usually eat turkey with sweet potatoes and Indian
corn bread. We usually have pumpkin pie for dessert, too, said Andrew.
I've never had sweet potatoes or pumpkin pie. They sound interesting, Kenji said. But what is this
parade that you want to see?
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
even see Santa Claus, who is visiting from the North Pole. Santa Claus is invited to remind children
and parents that Christmas is not far away. Well, now that I've told you all about Thanksgiving, do
you want to come to my house for dinner and watch the parade? asked Andrew.

The Garbage Man
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.

SENDING A PACKAGE
Family
Hello, Deirdre? Aren't you home yet? This is your mother-in-law, who lives in California, and hasn't
heard from you in weeks. I've been doing some shopping and have sent you a parcel that contains
new clothes for the baby. I've sent it special delivery, so you should receive it by Friday. The parcel
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.
Simple Steps for 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.

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 Has a Baby

Alex, you've been waiting in the house with me for three days already. I can take care of myself.
If there's an emergency, I'll call you at work. Marge tried to calm her husband, who was very
worried about leaving her alone when she was so close to having their baby. I'd rather go
somewhere nice today, perhaps for a walk in the park. It hasn't been that cold outside. Don't
worry, she said, as she was putting on her coat. Isn't that dangerous, Marge? asked Alex, still
worried. But his wife was already going out the door. Why don't I take you for a nice drive through
the park? I know a very pretty route, Alex said.
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.
Really? laughed Marge, in between pains.

Soon, an ambulance came speeding towards them. The driver helped Marge into the ambulance,
