In fact, there are two books : The Student’s Book and the Activity Book. The Student’s Book has five modules and each module contains five lessons. The module map which is at the beginning of each module, highlights the topics discussed in each lesson, the skills and strategies to be developed, the grammar structures and the communicative functions to be learned, the vocabulary to be discovered as well as the project activities to be carried out. At the end of the module, there is a checklist of the targeted abilities for you to evaluate your own learning. The Activity Book provides you with a lesson-by-lesson set of activities that help you discover and practise the targeted skills and strategies and the grammatical and lexical structures you will need to communicate efficiently. You may use your Activity Book to write the answers to the various activities. However, you must not write anything on your Student’s Book. At the end of each module, there is a mock test to help you assess your own learning. We sincerely hope that you will find the materials interesting and the learning situations challenging and motivating. We hope that your learning of English will prove to be an exciting experience.

How are you ? My family and I are back in London now. We really enjoyed the time we spent in Jerba. The island was very peaceful and quiet and the people very friendly and helpful. We all want to thank you for the good time we spent with you and your family. Mum and Dad went back to work this morning but Christine and I are still on holidays. School usually begins in September. So, we still have a couple of weeks to relax. Dad got up early today to work in the bakery and Mum went down to the shop to sell fresh bread and cakes. Dad’s bakery is next to Mum’s shop. When I finish writing this letter, I’ll go to the kitchen and wash the dishes. Christine is making the beds now and then she’ll go downstairs and help Mum. In the afternoon, we’ll be free to do what we want. When we were in Jerba, you said that you wanted to visit London some time. Last night, I said to Mum and Dad «Why don’t we invite Imene to spend a few days with us ? ». «Good idea », they said. Can you come soon ? Please try to come. We’ll be very happy to see you again and I promise you won’t regret it. I hope you’ll accept our invitation. I expect to hear from you soon. Your Friend, Chris 4 Step 2 Formal and informal letters - A letter you write to a friend or a member of your family is called an informal letter. - An official letter is a formal letter. These two types are different in their format (layout) and in the kind of language (register) the writers use in them. 12 001-089-ANGLAIS (Cours) 8#AA2B6 1/01/70 3:39 Page 13 Step 3 The simple future tense. To talk about future events, we use : Will (‘ll) + verb (without to) Affirmative form Subject + will (‘ll) +verb (without to) Negative form Subject + will not (won’t) + verb (without to) Will + subject + verb (without to) ? Interrogative form Wh / word + will + subject + verb (without to) ? Examples : a/ - Will you go to school tomorrow ? - Yes, I will. - No, I won’t. b/ - When will you go to the dentist ? - Tomorrow at 11 a.m. 5 In lesson 5, you will write an informal letter. Remember the characteristics of this letter. 13 001-089-ANGLAIS (Cours) 8#AA2B6 1/01/70 3:39 Page 14 Can she go to London ?
