Introduction
About this course
This 600-hour course is aimed at students of General English at all stages of
proficiency, and takes students all the way from Beginner to Advanced level. It
is divided into six levels corresponding to the levels of The Common European
Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR): Beginner (A1), Elementary (A2), Pre-
Intermediate (B1), Intermediate (B2), Upper-Intermediate (B2+), and Advanced (C1).
The course design takes an integrated-skills approach. Each level of the course is
divided into separate units, each of which covers all four skills (listening, reading,
speaking, and writing), as well as grammar and vocabulary. This integration of the
four skills with language functions reflects real-life communication, and so prepares
students to use English in the real world.
Each unit has a broad, engaging theme, which motivates students by providing
them with interesting topics about which to communicate purposefully. The
acquisition of the language being presented allows students to engage with the
themes in meaningful receptive and productive activities. All units contain elements
of personalization, which is provided through production activities that encourage
students to apply the language they have learned to their own personal contexts. This
makes language relevant to students own lives, and serves to motivate and engage
them further.
Unit structure
Each unit includes
a vocabulary section that presents and practices the words and expressions
needed for the unit
a dialogue that shows and tests the vocabulary in use and presents a grammar
point in context
a pronunciation section that focuses on a key aspect of English pronunciation
featured in the dialogue
a grammar explanation, followed by graded practice activities, that deals with the
grammar point in detail
reading and listening activities that expand on the units theme, practicing the
grammar and vocabulary
speaking and writing activities that encourage personalization of the units
theme and give freer production of the language.

Reading

Moving
back home
When did you move out of your parents house? Sometimes people move out
right after high school or college and never live at home again. Some people
never leave home. Recent studies show that many young adults are choosing to
move back home after they graduate from college.
Why is this happening? There are a lot of reasons. Living at home costs less.
Often, young adults graduate from college with a lot of debt. They can have
trouble finding well-paid jobs and in many places rents are very high.
Many young adults try to pay off debt while they live
at home. Sometimes they can take jobs or internships
that pay less. Others try to learn new skills or spend
more time with their parents.
Sadly, some young people who move home let their
parents take care of them and do all the work.
Moving back home can be a great idea! But
young people have to do what they can instead
of just letting mom and dad do everything.

Amy starred in a video project for her friend. Her friend

FREEZING FUN
Would you like to go to the beach in the winter time? Most people would
say no. In the winter, people stay inside and avoid the cold weather.
Snow and cold temperatures make most people put on more clothes,
light a fire, and make some hot tea.
But all over the world there are people who like to go swimming outside
in cold weather. These people belong to groups called polar bear clubs.
Polar bear clubs are for people who like to go swimming during the
winter as a hobby. Since it isnt safe to go swimming in the cold alone,
people go in groups.
Some polar bear clubs go swimming all through the winter. Many people
dress up in costumes but some just wear bathing suits. They go once a
week or more. Almost all polar bear clubs do a big cold swim on New
Years Day. Some groups call the big swim on New Years Day the polar
plunge. People who arent even in the polar bear clubs come and swim
at these events. Would you ever take the polar plunge? Or would you like
to stay inside during the winter and bake some cookies instead?
1 People normally spend all of their time outside in the winter. True / False

Superfoods are super good for you

E ating healthy can be hard. Food that tastes good isnt always good for you.
Fast food tastes good and is easy, but its bad for you. It has a lot of calories
and cholesterol. One of the easiest ways to eat healthier is to cook at home more
and eat out less. Try to make your own lunch a few times a week. You can make
healthy lunches like salads or sandwiches with fresh meats and veggies.
Another way to eat healthier is to try to add some so-called superfoods into
your diet. Superfoods, like kale, blueberries, yogurt, beans, eggs, salmon, nuts,
and green tea, are good for your health. They have a lot of nutrition and they can
help control conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Its easy to
add some superfoods into your diet.
For breakfast try having a little yogurt or some eggs with a few blueberries instead
of just cereal. At lunchtime, try a salad with some beans and kale. Salmon is a
good and healthy main dish to make for dinner. You only have to make a few
changes to eat healthier.
1 Fast food is good for you. True / False

2 You can eat healthier by cooking at home. True / False

Reading
Read the article. Then read the sentences. Choose the correct health problem.
Want to feel better?

Going to the doctor can be expensive and sometimes there is nothing they can do to
help. For some things, you can try some home remedies to take care of the problem.
Sensitive teeth
A lot of things can make your teeth hurt. If you go to the dentist and they cant find
anything wrong, try these to help your achy teeth. Desensitizing toothpaste can
help. A fluoride rinse can also decrease sensitivity. Brushing your teeth too hard and
too long can make your teeth hurt. Try a soft tooth brush and set a timer when you
brush your teeth.
Foot odor
If your feet are stinky, try soaking them in salt water, since the salt will help keep
your feet dry. Underarm deodorants and antiperspirants can be used on your feet
to stop the smell and the sweating that causes the problem. You can also use
cornstarch in your shoes to help keep feet drier.
Allergies
Use salt water to clear
out your nose and
sinuses. Wash off as
soon as you come inside
during pollen season.
Peppermint tea is good
for so many things. The
heat of the tea makes
your head and body
feel better and the
peppermint is a natural
decongestant!
1 Use a fluoride rinse for [sensitive teeth / foot odor / allergies].

2 Use cornstarch for [sensitive teeth / foot odor / allergies].

to work in that condition. You should stay home and prop your ankle on a pillow. You dont

Studying abroad: Is it for you?

Many people study abroad during high school or college.
There are a lot of benefits to studying abroad. You can
learn a lot about yourself, and you can learn skills that
will help you later in life.
Wanting to become fluent in a language is a great
reason to study abroad. Many study abroad programs
are immersive. Youll get more out of it and be less
frustrated if you know some of the language before
you go.
Studying abroad can help you learn more about your own
culture as well as learning to recognize the differences
between cultures. It exposes you to new cultures and
lifestyles. Many people who study abroad form close
connections with students from their host country.
These relationships can turn into lifelong friendships.
Students who intern while studying abroad find that the
internships influence future career paths. Many companies
are looking for graduates with international experience.
It can really give you an edge when applying for jobs.
Studying abroad
is a wonderful
and fulfilling
experience. If
you have the
opportunity you
should give it
a try for a
semester. Who
knows, you may
fall in love
with a whole

The Internet: good or bad?

Technology is everywhere. It makes our lives
easier in many ways. Smartphones let us stay
in touch with online friends as easily as local
friends. However, technology can also be a
problem. Some people are concerned that
technology can make it harder to connect.
April
We made some changes to the technology rules
@
in our home recently. When everyone comes
home they have to leave their phones by the
front door. The kids arent allowed to use them
until after homework and dinner. My husband
and I try to stick to that too. We have a sit down
dinner every night with no television. We talk
about our days. This has helped our family a lot.
Kai
I had a problem with the Internet. I spent more
time online chatting with people, looking at
websites, and reading stories than I did with my
family and friends. I couldnt stay off of social
networking sites at work. I finally went to see a
doctor. Now, I limit my Internet use to an hour
a day. I get out of the house more and I dont
use the Internet at work for personal things. Its
working really well for me. I barely miss the
Internet.

I was thrilled when I could begin to digitally record television using a DVR. I felt that having
shows recorded was a big benefit. I would have more time to watch when the house was
quieter. Before, I would miss so many episodes, I never knew what was happening. Now
though, I find that I watch episodes of shows that I really dont enjoysimply because it is
on my list of recorded shows. I think it is better to just watch TV when you have time. If you
miss something, it may be that you had something better to do.

Dress for success

It really makes a difference what you wear to an interview. Colors can convey who you are
and how you will fit in at a company.
It is better to stay away from brighter colors like yellow, purple, orange, and green at an
interview. These colors dont convey confidence or trust so its better to just stick with
neutrals.
Black is indeed neutral, but not always the best choice for an interview suit. Black is a very
powerful and commanding color, and may make you seem unapproachable and closed off.
Blue is a great neutral color. Blues can convey feelings of calm and trust. It also makes
people think that you are confident. Studies show that people who wear navy blue are more
likely to get the job than those wearing any other color.
Gray is a good color for an interview suit because it conveys sophistication and neutrality.
It also makes you seem logical and analytical. Gray is also a lonely color, which can make
interviewers feel that you are good at working independently.
Or you may want to consider wearing brown. Brown conveys dependability and makes
people calmer. It is a good solid neutral color for an interview suit.

1 Black is a great color to wear at job interviews. True / False
2 Blue conveys feelings of calm and trust. True / False
3 Gray conveys sophistication. True / False
4 Brown makes people excitable. True / False

The changing face of learning

At one time, college classes were made up of mostly young men. Recently, that has
changed. Many people cant afford to go to college right out of high school because
college is so expensive. Between now and 2020, experts think that college enrollment
will increase 16% for 25- to 34-year-olds and 17% for students 35 years old and older.
That is a big change from just 20 years ago. It makes sense to put off going to college,
or to put off going to graduate school. When you are older you have more knowledge so
that you can get more out of college. As of fall 2012, 38% of the students at private
nonprofit institutions were 25 or older.
Lately, more women than men choose to attend college and graduate school. As of
October 2011, 45% of women aged 18 to 24 were enrolled in college or graduate
programs, whereas only 39% of men were enrolled in the same programs. Also, between
now and 2019, the number of Hispanic students is expected to increase by 27%.
Colleges are changing. So if you want to go back to school as an older adult, you wont
be alone!
1 College classes used to be made up of mostly young men. True / False

2 Enrollment for older students will go down in the next seven years. True / False
3 As of fall 2012, 38% of the students at private nonprofit institutions
were 25 or older. True / False

My grandmother wanted to move to a bigger city. She had hopes of being a teacher. So she
enrolled in a teachers college to earn a degree. When she graduated, she packed up her
things and moved away from her family. She knew she would have more opportunities in
a bigger city. Then, she met my grandfather. He asked her to marry him, and she accepted.
The only problem was that at that time, teachers were asked to resign when they married.
She loved teaching so much, but she wanted to also get married. It was a hard decision to
make. She was always proud of her teaching days.

Many people make New Years resolutions. They may make
resolutions to save money, lose weight, get in shape, meet
someone, or take lessons to learn all kinds of things. The
problem is that these things are all difficult. In fact, only about
half of the people who make New Years resolutions keep
up with them for more than a few months. But there are
strategies you can try to help reach your goals.
Make a plan for reaching your goal. Make a commitment
to yourself, and then come up with a plan to achieve it. This
will help you later when you are feeling discouraged or
overwhelmed.
Make your goal attainable. Losing 100 lbs in a year may be
unrealistic, but losing 20 is an attainable goal. You can always
make another goal later if you reach the first one.
Put something on the line. Many people find that committing money is a
good motivator. There are websites you can use that will hold your money
for as long as you want and will donate it to a charity if you fail to meet your
goal.
Lastly, look for help from your friends and family. No one can do it
alone. Ask for help if you need it.
1 You shouldnt make a plan to reach your goal. True / False

2 People make resolutions to lose weight, get in shape, and
meet someone. True / False
3 You should make an attainable goal. True / False

Changing climates
Climate change is a scary idea. Many people would prefer not to think about it.
But there are a number of organizations that are dedicated to doing something
about climate change.
Idle No More
Idle No More is a mostly Canadian organization. They were formed in 2012. That
was when a new law relaxed environmental protections and native peoples rights in
order to allow companies better access to tar sands and crude oil in Canada. The
group holds protests with people participating all over the country. Recently, they had
a six-week-long hunger strike.
350.org
350.orgs goal is to unite climate activists around the world into a larger movement.
They use the Internet to help people organize local climate focused campaigns. They
take their name from the amount of carbon dioxide that scientists say is a safe
concentration in the atmosphere350 parts per million.
NRDC
The NRDC is an American environmental action group. They have spent the last 40
years working toward making the earth safer and healthier. Today, the group uses their
online presence along with the expertise of lawyers, scientists and other professionals to
win environmental court cases. They also support other environmental campaigns.
