INTRODUCTION About the course Countdown to First Certificate is the second in a two-level series taking students from intermediate to upper-intermediate level. It provides students with a foundation in the skills required to pass the Cambridge ESOL Examination. Countdown to First Certificate is at B1–B2 level. The book has a visually-dynamic, modern design to appeal to the target age group. Each unit focuses on a broad topic; each section of the unit takes a different angle of this topic to keep students interested and engaged. The topics have been selected with teenagers in mind and the texts are interesting and lively, mostly based on authentic material from magazines and the Internet generally aimed at teenagers or young adults. Grammar and vocabulary are given a high profile with two grammar focuses and three vocabulary focuses in each unit. After additional practice in the Workbook to reinforce what they have studied in class, students can then review and test themselves on the grammar and vocabulary learnt in every unit through the unit reviews, unit and progress tests. There is extensive practice of exam-type tasks and tip boxes to provide helpful hints on how to approach individual tasks. The course consists of: • Student’s Book • Class CD • Interleaved Teacher’s Book with Unit and Progress tests • Workbook and audio CD

Course Components Student’s Book The Student’s Book consists of 12 units, each of which is divided into the following sections: Lead-in Listening Reading Speaking Vocabulary Language in Use Grammar Writing Vocabulary

Lead-in The Lead-in sections are designed to introduce the topic of the unit through a variety of stimulating activities including quizzes, questionnaires, vocabulary tasks and discussion questions. Photos, illustrations and opportunities to talk about personal experience further stimulate students’ interest and anticipation of the unit.

4 T2

Reading The Reading sections begin with a short task that requires students to read the text quickly for gist or specific information. These tasks are designed to engage the students with the text by encouraging them to think about the purpose and content of what they are reading. They are not required to understand all of the vocabulary at this stage. This initial task is followed by a main reading task which requires students to read the text in more depth. There is a wide variety of task types covering all FCE reading tasks, as well as other B2level reading tasks. Tips are included to help students understand the best approach to the different tasks. The Vocabulary sections that follow the Reading focus on understanding and practicing vocabulary from the text. There are then further tasks that practice vocabulary related to the topic as well as phrasal verbs, word building or useful expressions.

Grammar The Grammar zoom comes immediately after the reading and vocabulary section, and highlights short extracts from the text to introduce the main grammar point of the unit. The students are encouraged to infer the rules for themselves, and there is plenty of room for both controlled practice that encourages accuracy and freer practice that allows students to develop fluency. The Grammar zoom usually focuses on major grammar areas that are important for students at this level (such as the tenses, relative pronouns, modals, etc), and each section is linked to the Grammar Reference pages at the back of the book. Here the students are given more details about the grammatical points and they can use the information to revise and extend their knowledge. In addition, some other more minor grammatical points are reviewed in the Language in Use section (see below).

Listening, Vocabulary & Speaking The language and skills on this spread are connected, so the vocabulary sections are designed to provide students with the vocabulary they will need when working through the listening and speaking sections. Students listen to a wide variety of texts covering the full range of exam tasks which increase in length and difficulty as the course progresses. Help and advice is given to encourage students to improve their listening skills. There are further opportunities for developing listening with the complimentary CD accompanying the Workbook. The speaking section of each unit includes Phrase boxes which contain useful expressions and phrases for students to use when dealing with speaking tasks. Students should be encouraged to keep a record of the Phrase Box language and to use the expressions appropriately when they are relevant. Tips give students advice in how to approach the exam tasks.

Wordpower

Unit reviews

The Wordpower section in each unit of the Student’s Book extends the vocabulary from the unit and gives students the opportunity to focus on vocabulary areas that often cause difficulties. Phrasal verbs, prepositions, words easily confused, prefixes and suffixes all feature. This useful page of tasks can be done either in class or as homework. The Workbook further practices and extends vocabulary in Wordplay, which contains a useful Word Select section to help students differentiate between the meanings of words.

The Review sections revise the main grammar and vocabulary studied in each unit. They provide valuable revision at regular intervals and can be done in class or at home as revision before completing the unit test.

Language in use The Language in Use sections give students the opportunity to develop their exam skills, and the material from the unit is presented and revised through exam style activities. In some units there may be close tests or gap fills, and in others there may be sentence transformations or multiple choice questions. The aim here is both to provide an opportunity for revision and to develop the students’ confidence in answering exam questions. As well as the exam work, the Language in use section also offers the opportunity to cover additional grammatical points that were not dealt with in the Grammar zoom. These tend to be minor – but still very important – grammatical areas such as comparing adjectives, the use of the causative ‘have’, time prepositions, etc.

Writing The writing sections come at the end of each unit, and are linked with the theme, giving students the opportunity to actively use some of the vocabulary that they have studied. The writing sections look at a wide range of writing tasks, including reviews, story-telling, reports and ‘for and against’ essays, all of which feature regularly in examinations, as well as letters and emails, which have an additional ‘real-world’ appeal. Each section begins with a sample task and a model answer so that the students have a clear idea of what they are trying to achieve. Sometimes, however, the sample is not entirely correct, and in these cases students are encouraged to analyse it and suggest ways in which it could be improved. Within the writing sections there is also language work that is relevant to the particular type of writing being dealt with. This focus helps students to produce more accurate and natural sounding texts. Most of each writing section is designed to be covered in class with the help of the teacher, and this will allow students to get interested and motivated by the topic. The final section, however, is where the student is asked to produce a text that is similar to the model studied earlier. These tasks are designed to be done by the student working alone, either in class or as homework. The tasks come with guidance notes, useful phrases and language tips, allowing the student to make genuine progress.

Vocabulary and grammar reference The Vocabulary and grammar reference lists all the key vocabulary targeted in each unit and provides comprehensive rules, explanations and examples relating to both grammar focuses in each unit.

Teacher’s Book The Teacher’s Book contains procedural notes, tapescripts and full answer keys with suggested answers where appropriate. There are sample answers for the main writing task of each unit. Optional activities can be found throughout, designed to consolidate and sometimes extend the work of the Student’s Book. They can be used when teachers have extra time or when more advanced students have completed all their tasks, or when teachers feel that all their students would benefit from further practice. Background information is given on some topics. This is designed to be used as a way of enriching student’s cultural knowledge allowing them to understand ideas in more depth. It can be read out by the teacher for class discussion. Alternatively it can be used as a check when asking students to provide their own knowledge of a subject. The Teacher’s Book contains 12 unit tests and 4 progress tests which can be photocopied for classroom use.

Workbook & audio CD The workbook is designed to be completed as homework, giving the student the chance to review and revise what has been done in class. The Workbook reflects the Student’s Book and is divided into the following sections: Reading – with questions that develop reading skills and vocabulary Grammar – that revises what came up in the Grammar zoom, followed by exercises of both controlled practice and freer practice Listening – audio is provided on the CD in the back of the book. Tapescripts have been included in the - with key version of the Workbook Wordplay – practises vocabulary, with a range of puzzles, games and other exercises Language in Use – covers a wide range of exam-style questions and other exercise types Writing skills – students are given short writing activities to review what has been studied in class

Talking together 2 Tell students to read the tip before they do the task.

Ask them to use the phrases in the box during their discussion.

Key Suggested answers Pictures 1 and 2 In the past, dancing was very different. Couples danced together and the dance steps were fixed and very formal. Nowadays, young people all dance together. You can do what you like on the dance floor – everything is very informal and relaxed.

Pictures 3 and 4 In the past, fairgrounds had very simple rides like the big wheel. Children ate candy floss then, too, and you can still find that today. But the rides at theme parks are very different now. They are very exciting and thrilling and you feel really frightened on some of them.

Speaking Talking about yourself 1

Pictures 5 and 6 In the past, televisions were just black and white ANDTHEYHADVERYSMALLSCREENS4HEYDIDNTHAVE programmes all day, either. Nowadays, you can buy televisions with huge screens and they are all in colour. There are also programmes at any time of the day and night if you want to watch them.

After students have finished their discussion, ask them to share their ideas with the class. Key 3TUDENTSOWNANSWERS

Optional Activity

Ask students to work in pairs or groups and to write down five questions they could ask in a survey about TV. Tell them to make up questions that have one answer, e.g. What’s your favourite type of TV programme? and to give choices when there is more than one answer, e.g. How much time do you spend watching TV every day? A about an hour B two-three hours C more than three hours When they have finished their questions, tell students to go around the class asking the questions and collecting the information. They can then write a report of their findings. For example:  7 HATSYOURFAVOURITETYPEOF46 programme? Five people in the class like reality TV shows best. Three people prefer soap operas. Four people like sports programmes. Five people prefer music programmes and one person said he liked documentaries best.

I had been walking through the forest for several hours when I heard something behind me. At first the noise was quite faint and far away, but I could hear it coming closer and closer. I began to feel very frightened. I knew immediately what it was - the pack of dogs from the prison camp, and they were following the trail I had left when I had escaped. I started to run through the thick bushes, and I could hear them more clearly. There were twenty or thirty dogs, and from time to time one of the guards shouted out an order. I was terribly tired, but I knew I had to go on – I could not stand the thought of being captured and taken prisoner again. It was then that I began to hear a new noise – it sounded like water splashing over rocks, and as I ran forwards, I became more and more excited. And then I saw it – the great wide river, flowing fast from the recent rains. Behind me the dogs were very close, but they were too late. From a high rock I leapt into the deep water. They would not follow me, I knew, because the river was also the border, and I only had to swim across to be in another country and free.

Tip

Pietro: Well, soon after we arrived in the USA, like many other immigrants, I think, we discovered that the only jobs open to people like us were unskilled jobs. So we had no choice. We started off doing any unskilled work we could find – but we managed to earn enough money to make ends meet. Int: And then what happened? Pietro: Well, when we tried to get help to turn our idea for the restaurant into reality, we quickly realised that WEDHAVETOMASTER%NGLISHFIRST ANDTHENWEMIGHTBE ABLETOUNDERSTANDHOWTOGOABOUTIT7EDEXPECTEDTO GETHELPFROMOTHERIMMIGRANTSWHODMANAGEDIT BUTIT WASMUCHMOREDIFFICULTTHANWEDTHOUGHTITWOULDBE There was a lot of competition in the restaurant business and we decided that the only way to find out how the system worked was to become chefs ourselves. So we started to learn English. We did go to one or two night school classes but the thing that really helped us to got to grips with the English we needed was reading about how to set up a business. Number 4 When they arrived in America, what kind of work were they able to find? Number 5 What did they eventually have to do to achieve their ambitions? Number 6 What really helped them to learn English?

Tell students to read the tip.

Suggested answers: 4ASK If she goes to study in the USA, this wil be a fantastic opportunity for her. It would be great to have the opportunity to travel and live in another country and learn a new language. She might be able to get a better job when she gets back home because she can speak another language. On the other hand, it might be very lonely living in another country without her friends and family. But I think she would soon make friends and enjoy her time in THE53!)FSHEDOESNTGOANDDECIDESTOSPENDHER time studying in her home town, she might regret it for the rest of her life. Task 2 As your aunt and uncle have no children, it might be an interesting experience to take an American student on an exchange scholarship as a paying guest. It will be company for them and they might learn some English, too. They have a spare room that they are not using so they will be able to make some money renting it out to a student. On the other hand, having a student to live with them for a year will be very different from living on their own. If they have never lived with a young person in the house, they might find it difficult at first. But I think they should give it a try.

Nowadays more and more people are moving abroad, particularly to France and Spain. This might sounds very appealing, but it has both advantages and disadvantages. On the plus side, there is the weather, which is bound to be better than the weather in England. As well as that, property prices are cheaper, so people can buy bigger houses or have more land. Finally, there is the chance to meet new people and to experience a different way of life. On the other hand, living and working abroad is not always easy. It can be hard, for example, to find a job, especially if you do not speak the language. Another problem is that children have to start in a completely new school, which can be very hard. And finally, you may miss the friends and family you have left behind in your own country. To sum up, living abroad can be a wonderful experience. It is something I would like to try one day, but I would think very carefully before making the decision.

The Scott brothers – Walter, John-Clay and Ben – are part of a highly successful stunt family. And they owe their success, so they say, to the oldest brother in the family, Walter. Walter was the one who came to Hollywood and did it all first, after moving to Los !NGELESTOBECOMEANACTORIN In those days, they were making a lot of westerns and Walter knew that he could act in these films because he was a real cowboy – he had been raised on a ranch. For about three years, he worked as an extra. His size was ABIGHELP(ESSIXFOOTTHREEnANDHEMETALOTOFTALL actors he could double. After three years, he had made lots of contacts in the industry, and it was because of them that his career really began to take off. He started being offered lots of work. His first TV job as a double was for Clint Eastwood in a western. After that, he went on to do a lot of TV work – not just westerns but all kinds of shows, including police and action series popular at the time. You name it and he probably worked on it. 7ALTERSBROTHERS *OHN #LAYAND"EN IDOLISEDHIM They were sixteen and eighteen years younger than Walter and all they wanted was to be like him.

Indirect questions

Sample answer Hello I am writing about the Fairfield Festival this weekend and have a number of questions I would like to ask. In the advertisement you mention that there are discounts for students. Could you tell me what the discounts are, and how much it would cost for 5 students for one night only, including the booking fee? I would also like some more details about the camping facilities. Could you let me know if there are any toilets and shower rooms at the campsite? As there are only a couple of days to go, I imagine that it will be too late to put the tickets in the post. Would it be possible to collect the tickets, and if so, where would I need to collect them from? I look forward to hearing from you. Best wishes Steven Smith

Speaking

Tapescript Speaker 1 I think that one of the reasons why the WORLDISNTAVERYHAPPYPLACEISTHATPEOPLEDONTGIVE each other enough praise these days. So my suggestion is that what everybody should try to do is give praise where praise is due – particularly if you are working as a member of a team. First of all, it makes everyone feel appreciated especially the person who receives the praise. But perhaps more important still, it motivates people to do their best so they end up producing better work. And this makes the workplace a much pleasanter PLACETOBE3OYOUCANTREALLYDOBETTERTHANTHAT CAN you? Speaker 2 -YSUGGESTIONCOMESFROMAPETHATEOF MINE7HAT)CANTSTANDISPEOPLEWHOIGNOREOTHERS OR are just plain rude to them. You know, the kind of person who treats people who work in a restaurant really badly, ordering them around and never saying a kind word to them. In other words, the kind who makes people feel like robots rather than human beings. I think that if we all tried to treat the people we meet in our lives – no matter where we meet them or who they are – in the same way that we would like them to treat us, the world would be a much better place to live in. Speaker 3 4HERESNODOUBTABOUTITnWELIVEINA society which throws everything away. We throw away our rubbish and never give a second thought about what happens to it afterwards. But we throw away other important things, too. Things like our childhood memories, our friendships, even our close relationships with our friends or classmates and families sometimes. So my answer as to how we can make the world a better PLACEISQUITESIMPLE$ONTGIVEUPTOOEASILY.OTHINGS PERFECTANDNOBODYSPERFECT3OWESHOULDNTJUSTWALK away when things go wrong. If we try to be a little more tolerant, we could get even more out of our relationships and not find ourselves so lonely and miserable. Speaker 4 -YSOLUTIONISTODOSOMETHINGDIFFERENT but not necessarily on your own. There are so many things that you can do with other people that can benefit both the world and you as a person. Let me give you an example. A few friends and I decided to plant some

flowers on an untidy piece of land outside the town we live in. We got together one weekend and tidied up the place – it was a real mess, I can tell you! We bought some packets of flower seeds and some cheap flowers from the market, planted them all and waited. The place looks lovely now, colourful and inviting. But it was the joint effort that made us all feel even better. Speaker 5 In my opinion, people should help each other more. First of all, it makes you feel better, and SECONDLY ITMAKESTHEPERSONWHOSRECEIVEDTHEHELP HAPPYASWELL)DONTTHINKITREALLYMATTERSWHATYOU do – it might just be helping an elderly neighbour with some shopping, or even cooking them a meal.

Sample answer School concert venues Introduction This report looks at two possible venues for the school concert. These have been visited and discussed by the group. Western Park The main advantage of this location is that it is an open-air venue, and we could have as many people as we wanted. In addition, the Park authorities have offered us a discounted rate. The main disadvantage of Western Park is that we might have to cancel the concert if the weather was bad. In addition, we would need to hire more expensive equipment. School Hall The other option would be the school hall. This would have a number of advantages. Firstly, it would be free, secondly, the concert would not be affected by the weather, and thirdly, it would be much simpler to organise. The only drawback is THATNUMBERSWOULDBERESTRICTEDTO people. Conclusion I suggest that we hold the concert in the School Hall. Although the number of tickets is limited, the risks are smaller than the Western Park, and there would be no need to hire any additional equipment.

At the same time I was a keen artist (a talent I inherited from my father), and I suppose the combination of the two interests is what first put me on to car design.

And, although I had no prior experience, I expressed an interest in being one of the first to try it out. I ended up working with a handful of chosen designers. I soon became one of their experts, and it was for this reason that I ended up working for Volkswagen four years later.

Sample answer Should we take an interest in high fashion? To answer this question, we need to look at the reasons why some people follow high fashion and others do not. People may be interested in high fashion for a number of reasons. Firstly, the clothes themselves can be very beautiful, and people appreciate things that are well-designed. Secondly, the world of high fashion and celebrity are connected, and many people are fascinated by the lives of celebrities. Finally, new ideas from the world of high fashion sometimes affect high street fashion. On the other hand, some people think that high fashion is a complete waste of time. Firstly, the clothes can often look ridiculous and would never be worn in real life. Secondly, the clothes are far too expensive for most people to buy. Finally, some people would say that the whole idea of fashion is meaningless and trivial. In conclusion, I think it can be said that high fashion may have some value if it is connected with the lives of ordinary people. However, much of it seems ridiculous and is a waste of time and money.

At the start of our two-week vacation 1 in the USA, we collected our hire car at the aiport and took the freeway 2 towards the city.

Then we followed the signs for downtown 6 and left the car in a parking lot. The hotel was just a short distance along the sidewalk 7 from there, but we had to wait a while to check in as there was a line 8 at reception. Eventually we got our keys and took the elevator 9 up to the twenty-second floor. The room was lovely and I quickly unpacked, hung up my clothes in the closet 10 and put on the soft white bathrobe 11 that the hotel provided. Then I went into the bathroom and turned on the hot water faucet 12. After all that travelling, I needed a nice warm bath.
