Introduction toÌPrepare!Ì a

Where English meets Exams

Prepare! is a lively new seven-level English course for teenagers It takes learners from A1 to B2 and has comprehensive Cambridge English exam preparation throughout So whether you're teaching general English or preparing students for an exam, Prepare! has a wealth of material to help you do both

Produced and endorsed by Cambridge English Language Assessment, using cutting edge language learning research from English Vocabulary Profile and the Cambridge Learner Corpus, Prepare! is a course you can rely on and trust

Prepare! is written by a team of writers with extensive experience and knowledge of secondary

school students as well as in-depth knowledge of the Cambridge exams

The Student’s Book

The Student's Book includes a starter unit plus 20 short units, covering a wider variety of teen-related topics than other courses After every two units, there is either a culture or cross-curricular lesson which encourages students to learn about the world around them or about other subject areas through English After every four units, there is a review section which revises and consolidates the language from the previous four units through further practice of key language and skills

There are ten videos of authentic interviews with teenagers which are included with this Teacher's Book and worksheets to go with them are provided online

At the back of the book, students will find a grammar reference section, with further practice activities to be used in class or as self-study Vocabulary lists provide useful lists of all the key vocabulary taught in each unit, together with its pronunciation ® Exam preparation Cambridge CEFR Level English Scale Cambridge English cx B2 160-179 alol~ Bi 140-159 4 KT Ti English: First for Schools Cambridge Englis Preliminary for Cambridge English: Key for Schools

Level 1 covers A1 The remaining six levels are split into pairs — Levels 2 and 3 cover A2, Levels 4 and 5 cover B1 and Levels 6 and 7 cover B2 The first book in each pair gradually exposes students to typical exam tasks and techniques, while the second book in each pair makes exam tasks more explicit, thereby preparing students more thoroughly

for the relevant exam All exam tasks in Levels 2-7

are clearly referenced in the Teacher's Book

In addition to regular practice of each exam task in the main units, Level 3, Level 5 and Level 7

have five additional Exam profile sections, which are located at the back of the Student’s Book

These pages focus on each part of each paper, giving detailed information about the exam task, as well as practical guidance on how to approach each task, with useful tips and training to familiarise students with the whole exam and prepare them thoroughly for examination day The Exam profiles can be used as focused training after first exposure to an exam task in the main units, or alternatively towards the end of the year when students require more intensive exam practice

English Vocabulary Profile

The English Vocabulary Profile (EVP) is an online resource providing detailed information about the words, phrases, phrasal verbs and idioms that learners of English know and use at each of the six levels of the CEFR The vocabulary syllabus of Prepare! has been informed by using EVP to ensure that students at each CEFR level are presented with high-frequency words and phrases that are suitable for their language level and relevant to each unit topic Many of the most common words in English have a great number of different meanings and a thorough knowledge of these words helps students to operate successfully even with limited language The special Word profile feature in Levels 4-7 deals with these powerful words in detail Furthermore, the main

vocabulary sections regularly focus on aspects other than ‘concrete’ topic nouns and verbs, such

as adjectives and adverbs, prepositions, phrasal verbs, word families and phrases All of these aspects are important if the syllabus is to provide true breadth and depth

Systematic vocabulary development is crucial to real progress across the CEFR levels Great care has been taken to organise the vocabulary syllabus in a logical way both within and across

the seven levels of Prepare! The course offers regular recycling of vocabulary and builds on what

students already know, to guarantee successful language learning from A1 to B2

For more information on EVP, including information on how it was compiled, how you can access it, as well as ways to get involved in the English Profile programme, visit www.englishprofile.org

The Cambridge Learner Corpus (CLC) has been used to inform exercises in both the Student’s Books and Workbook of Prepare! This ensures that exercises target the language that students need most, as they focus on the areas that students at each level find most difficult, and where

errors commonly occur

Speaking Part 1

Task description

In Speaking Part 1, students are in pairs The examiner will ask each student questions about the student's family, school, hobbies, home, etc The examiner will speak to both students but will ask each one different questions

Exam tips

Tell students that the examiner can only mark what the students say, so it is important for them to answer the questions as fully as they can They usually have to spell their name, so it is important they know the alphabet

> See Exam Profile 1, Student's Book page 120

Unit 1

8 Askthe questions to the students first and get them to answer in full sentences Then arrange them into pairs to fill in the form

9 Ask the questions to the whole class and get some sample answers Do not accept answers of single words; they must be at least two sentences long For example: Teacher: Tell me about your family

Student: | have quite a small family There’re me, my parents and my little brother, Alex He's four and very funny!

Drill the questions before you arrange the students into pairs to choose three questions and ask each other Stronger students can ask all the questions and then find a new partner

10 Have a brief class discussion Stronger students can do

it in English, weaker ones in L1 If you do this after each

of the exam tasks, you can find out where students have problems and help them work towards overcoming them They will also benefit from each other's ideas

a

Project

Use an English-learning website

The students should find the British Council

LearnEnglish teens site and sign up They need to go to http:/earnenglishteens.britishcouncil.org/ and then click on ‘Sign up for a free account’ at the top of the page They will have authentic practice in giving contact details and the site is a terrific resource for teenagers (and their teachers)

students what is special about it:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog If the students don’t know, go through the alphabet, crossing off the letters in the sentence until they

understand that it uses every letter of the alphabet

Arrange the students into groups They must write their own sentence which uses as many letters of the alphabet as possible The winner is the group with a grammatical sentence with the most different letters

To practise the new vocabulary and alphabet sounds from Unit 1, play Battleships Ask the students to make two 8x8 grids in their notebooks, They label the bottom of each grid A-H and the side |-P In one grid they write six new words from Unit 1, horizontally, vertically or diagonally, one letter in each cell The other grid they

leave blank

Arrange the students into pairs They take turns to guess each other's letters by reading out coordinates (the alphabet letters) and try to find their partner's six words For example:

Student A: B/P?

Student B: No, my turn D/J?

Student A: Yes, the letter K (Student B writes K in square B/P on his/her blank grid.)

VOCABULARY AND READING

1 Elicit the easier words sea and river: What do we call the

water next to the beach? (sea) And the water that runs

into the sea? (river)

Books open, ask the students to look at the words in the box and see if they are in the pictures As examples, the students should name famous or local places, like

the Black Sea or the hill near our school Drill the new

vocabulary

Answers

Volcano is in the top right picture; hills can be seen in the background of the third picture on the right; mountains are seen in the bottom picture below the text

Extension activity

The students draw one of the words on the board for the other students to shout out what it is

2 Ask the students to find these things on a real or online

map: Mount Everest, the Amazon, the Baltic Sea, the Arctic and Greenland

Arrange the students into pairs to discuss the questions For the second question, ask them to think about changes in different categories like climate, animals and people, giving some examples, e.g people are moving

around more, etc

2 Temperatures are rising; the weather is wetter in some places and drier in others; there are more big storms; the Arctic is getting warmer

3 Do the first one together Ask the class to read the first paragraph and decide which heading fits it best (C) Then ask them to say why — which information gave them the answer (the word old)

Ask the students to do the same thing for the other paragraphs In feedback ask them to say why

Answers:

Paragraph 1 - C (4.6 billion years old) Paragraph 2 — D (changing because of)

Paragraph 3 — B ({t’s normal but are worried)

Paragraph 4—A (Farmers in Greenland like the warm weather) Extension activity

Early finishers can search the internet for ‘the oldest

m in the world: For example, the oldest mountains in the world are probably the North Georgia mountains in America, over 1 billion years old

4 Ask Which word in paragraph 1 means ‘think but don’t know for sure’? (believe) The students then work individually

GRAMMAR Verbs we don't usually use in the continuous

5 The students find and underline the verbs in the text and

say which tense they are in They then tick the verbs in the second box which belong to the same category

Answers

The verbs in the first box are all in the present simple The verbs in the second box which are about thinking, feeling and owning are: belong to, hate, love, need, want, have Language note: Have can be used in the present continuous in phrases like have a shower Think is used in the present simple for giving opinions, e.g What do you think about climate change? but in the present continuous to describe the thought process, e.g What are you thinking about? The other verbs are not impossible in the continuous in some contexts but the rule is a good one for this level

Alternative presentation

Write on the board John is learning Spanish He knows it well Underline the two verbs and say, States are about facts, they are true or false, but processes describe what is happening Which verb in the sentence is about a state [knows] and which one is about a process [is learning]?

Which countries are in the UK? (England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland)

What is the capital of Wales? (Cardiff) What language do they speak in Scotland? (English — very few people know Scottish Gaelic) What is the second biggest city in Britain? (Birmingham)

Unit 2

Go through the notes and ask the students to predict what the answers might be: 1 is a noun, the name of an island; 2 and 3 are nouns, something from geography;

4 is the name of a river; 5 is difficult to work out, but it is

something the UK doesn’t have; 6 and 7 are adjectives They then listen and check their predictions To make it easier, you could stop the recording after each answer is given

Cultural background

The UK is England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland; Great Britain is England, Scotland and Wales; the British Isles is a geographical unit — the UK and

smaller islands like the Hebrides, near Scotland

| come from the United Kingdom It’s often called the UK The country is made up of several islands The biggest one is called Great Britain Its the ninth biggest island in the world There are lots of smaller islands too Many of them are in Scotland No one in Britain lives more than 120 kilometres from the sea Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom too

There are lots of hills in the UK We have some mountains, but

not many Most of them are in Wales, the north of England and the north of Scotland

England has some very beautiful lakes They are in the north west, It's a popular place for holidays

Most British rivers are not very long The longest is the River Severn, which begins in Wales It's 338 kilometres long Other important British rivers are the Thames, which goes through London, and the Clyde in Scotland

The UK doesn’t have great weather It rains a lot and it never

gets very hot The south is warmer than the north, and the east is the driest part of the country

The weather in the UK is changing at the moment Winters are

getting colder, with more snow, and summers are getting wetter Sometimes we have big storms

PRONUNCIATION _ th: /@/ and /3/

8 C107 Play the recording of the two sounds These sounds are specific to English, so you will need to show how the sounds are made, by exaggerating how the tongue makes contact with the upper teeth The difference between them is ‘voicing’ and you can demonstrate this by asking the students to put their hands over their ears and hearing the buzzing for /õ/ A good contrast is breath /@/ versus breathe /6/ but you will need to demonstrate the meaning of these words

Helping the homeless

Pre-teach the word homeless and ask the students

to give reasons why people become homeless, for example, they lose their job The students should find out about homeless people in your country, how they live and how we can help them

Arrange the students into groups to find out answers to

these questions:

¢ What problems do homeless people have? ¢ Are there any organisations/charities (explain this

word) to help them?

Examples from the UK are Shelter www.shelter.org.uk, which works with people in the UK, and Homeless International www.homeless-international.org, which works with people in the developing world You could show images from these sites to show who they work with and the things they do

* How can we help? * How can our country help?

The students could find information online or in the

library or just ask people Some of this can be their own opinion They then make a presentation for the class

| + The students learn the names of important rivers and how rivers look and change because of their flow They also learn how rivers affect the land

1 around them

| Inthe project stage, the students use this

( information to describe a river in their own country =———==

Useful vocabulary

erosion floodplain meander sediment valley

Preparation

If the students are going to do the project in class, they will either need access to the internet or local maps

and atlases, National Geographic has local language websites and video channels where the students can find information Warmer Ask the students to write down four things in each of the following categories: Ball games, Unhealthy food, Interesting jobs, American states, Rivers

See which student finishes first and compare answers

1 Elicit what the students know about rivers, bringing out

the following information A river begins at a source, for example a spring, and ends at a mouth, for example the sea Rivers flow downhill but they do not always take a direct path The flow of a river is a source of energy which changes its shape and features

Tell the students to read the names of the rivers in the box and ask if they know which country or region the rivers are in, and if they know anything else about them Which river is the longest?

Then see if they can match the pictures to the rivers

Answers

Some information about the rivers is given in brackets

a Yangtse This river is in China [It is about 6,300 km long, the third longest in the world A third of China’s population live on the land around the river (the Yangtse River Basin),]

b Amazon This river is in South America [It begins in Peru and flows east into the Atlantic Ocean, Most of it is in Brazil

It is the largest river in the world (quantity of water) and the

second longest, It is about 6,400 km long It is between 1.6

and 10 km wide but in the wet season parts of it can be

2 Ask the students to name two rivers in their country Elicit some information about them, for example, Where is it? Is it a long river? Is it famous for anything? Have you

seen it?

3 Point out the ‘top; ‘bottom’ and ‘side’ of something on your desk Ask the students to look at the diagram in the top right corner of the Rivers text and complete the

sentences Answers

1 bed 2 bank

Extension activity

Tell the students that ‘bank’ has two meanings: the side of a river and a place you get money Ask if they know any other words like this, for example, ‘book’ (noun thing you read / verb order ticket), ‘train’ (noun transport / verb prepare for sport) and ‘park’ (noun green place / verb to stop and leave a car somewhere for a period of time)

6 Ask the students how many paragraphs there are in the

text (three) Tell them to match each paragraph to a row of diagrams,

Check understanding of these processes in L1 if necessary:

Ask why inc the river gets deeper (paragraph 1: sediment

from erosion is carried down the river and out to sea) Ask why in a there are curves (paragraph 2: the energy of the water erodes the river banks)

Ask why in b the river floods (paragraph 3: there is a lot of rain and the land is flat)

Subject learning

In the next stage, the students are going to draw and write about a river in their country Encourage a

class discussion on what they have learned so far If

appropriate, do this in the students' own language Use these questions:

Why do rivers change?

What happens when rivers flow fast?

Why are rivers important?

Also check some of the vocabulary learned in the

lesson, for example draw a river with a curve on the

board and ask what they can see (curve/meander)

1 Arrange the students into groups to discuss the questions You could restrict the discussion to English

lessons, or extend it to cover other lessons too Find out

if they have to give talks, and if so, how they feel about doing this Do they find it easy or difficult?

2 Pre-teach tip: A tip is useful advice, like ‘always have a good breakfast’ Arrange the students into groups Write some tips on the board The students should discuss

which are useful

Learn a new word every day Only speak English in lessons

Find an English-speaking friend on Facebook Sing English songs in the shower

Buy some easy readers

Practise pronunciation in front of a mirror

Tell the students to do the same thing for the tips about how to give a good talk

4 Say to everyone You did that exercise quickly and then write this on the board Ask the students, What kind of word is quickly? (an adverb) Does it describe what you do or how you do it? (how) Tell the students that quickly is a simple adverb, more quickly is a comparative adverb and most quickly is a superlative adverb

Ask the students to read the sentences Draw their

attention to wel! and best and explain that they are irregular forms of good: well — better — the best

S Ask the students to underline alll the other adverbs in the

text and complete the rules Answers carefully ~ simple more easily — comparative clearly — simple well — simple

the most carefully — superlative the longest - superlative badly — simple

to mixed-sex state schools where the education is free There is a National Curriculum which all the students

follow, with twelve compulsory subjects Home schooling is allowed in the UK but it is not very common

Students will find out more about secondary schools after Unit 6 in Culture: Secondary school in the UK
