Dear Student,

Welcome to the English Discoveries Student Workbook Intermediate 3.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 3course. 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 youwill 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 English Discoveries Team

have to say I was very disappointed because the musical is directed by Noel Hill, the

Monday should never be seen on any day!

listeners are going to be further disappointed to hear that the long-running, popular

musical show Musical Box has been cancelled due to the illness of some of the main

performers. Tickets have already been sold out for the first performance of the new

To the Manager:

Sams Seafood and Steak House

Dear Sir,

I am writing to complain about the terrible evening I spent last night at your restaurant.

Firstly, the restaurant was very crowded and noisy and we had to wait nearly two hours for

a table. Secondly, there wasnt even a tablecloth on our table! Thirdly, the service was

disgusting and the waiter not only brought us the wrong food, but my girlfriends steak was

burned and my shrimps were very bitter. This was our first date and our evening was

ruined.

I hope you take this complaint seriously and compensate me for the meal. My girlfriend and

I are both suffering from bad stomachaches and we had to cancel our trip abroad.

Sincerely,

Raoul Trump

A New Acquaintance

The phone rang next to Meg's bed. It was Judy.

Hi, Meg!

Oh, hi, Judy! How are you?

Great!

Great? Why? Meg asked suspiciously. Judy was always either feeling great or complaining about

everything.



I've just met the man I want to spend the rest of my life with, Judy said dreamily.

Where did you meet him? Meg asked.

At The Deep Blue Sea, Judy replied.

What's that?

You know. It's that new restaurant where all the waiters and waitresses wear fish costumes, Judy

said.

Well, I saw him at the table across from me. I thought he was a snob. But then he smiled at me,

and I thought he recognized me from somewhere. He didn't. He just wanted to meet me. We started

talking. Meg, he's so easygoing, and he has a great sense of humor. And he has the nicest

personality...

Meg could not listen to Judy any longer. She must have heard this same conversation a hundred

times. Judy, whom no one could call shy, met strangers and considered them friends within

minutes. The problem was that she was often disappointed when she actually got to know them.

Judy, Meg said.

Oh, and Meg, Judy continued, not listening, he was so affectionate. He kissed my cheek when

he said goodbye.

Judy, Meg said again.

What?

Be careful.

I can trust him. I know, Judy answered.

Like you knew about Peter?

Oh, Peter. I should have realized that Peter had problems when he started calling me five times a

day at work. Peter was a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes.

And Henry? Meg continued.

Oh, Henry. How could I have known about Henry?

Judy, you could have known about Henry if you had checked out his excuses. He was always

visiting his sick mother. You should have known.

I guess so. You're right, Judy consented.

Look! Just be careful. You always think you've met the man of your dreams whenever you meet

someone new.

They said goodbye, and Meg made herself a cup of coffee. She decided to go check out The Deep

Blue Sea the next day. It was time to meet someone new.

Host: Welcome back to School Sports. We're talking with North Star coach, Tina

Laurence. Some of you might not remember, but Tina Laurence was on her way to

becoming an Olympic athlete when she had a tragic accident several years ago. I'm

sure she would have brought home many gold medals. However, she has made a

name for herself with her champion gymnastics team. Coach Laurence, the North

Stars were expected to win every event at yesterday's competition. What

happened?

Coach: I admit that we should have done much better, but several members of the team

had come down with the flu. They were exhausted. They really weren't in any

condition to compete, but they weren't willing to give in.

Host: Well, I'm sure that if they hadn't been sick, the team would have made it to the

finals.

Coach: I am, too. Now we have to concentrate on getting back into shape and preparing for

the next competition.

Host: How did the girls take not making it to the finals?

Coach: It was a terrible blow to the team's spirit. The girls who have been competing for a

long time know how to handle such an upset. The newer members have taken it

much harder. So now the team will not only have to build up their physical strength

through weightlifting and practice, but also regain their confidence, by hopefully

winning the next match.

Host: Can we expect to see you in the finals next year?

Coach: I sure hope so.

Host: Thank you so much for talking with us today, Coach Laurence. And until next time,

this is Carl Rugby with School Sports.

Health and Fitness Today

Health and fitness are very much in the news. More people these days are concentrating on eating

sensibly and staying in shape. We try to prevent problems, says Jane Roberts, manager of the Eat

Right and Stay Fit Health Club. We encourage our members to eat nutritious meals and to exercise

daily. 'Do it now,' we tell our clients. So many of the people who come to us say that they should

have joined sooner.

In recent years, health clubs like Eat Right and Stay Fit have been opening all over the country.

Most of these clubs offer flexible hours and a wide variety of activities. People who wish to exercise

before going to work can do so early in the morning, and many health clubs do not close until late

at night. Most health clubs offer a large and well-equipped gymnastics facility with weightlifting

equipment, where club members can work on developing their muscles and getting into shape.

Another popular activity is tennis, and members who are willing to give up eating lunch on their

noon break can be seen carrying rackets to the office.

Is too much exercise harmful? Recent studies have shown that people can get hurt from doing

exercise that's wrong for them. Heart specialist Marvin Kane, who is in charge of the Health and

Fitness Research Program at Cedars General Hospital, advises checking with a doctor before

beginning any fitness program. People should choose programs that have been designed to match

their physical abilities and needs, and follow them at their own pace, says Kane. If we had known

in the past what we know now, many injuries caused by over-exercising could have been avoided.

Ten Miles

- I just ran ten miles! I'm exhausted.

- You shouldn't have run so far.

- And now I'm going to do some weightlifting!

- By yourself?

- Yes.

- You shouldn't lift weights without a partner nearby. It's dangerous.

More Conditionals: Past Conditionals

- Oh dear! If I'd known you were all coming, I would have made more food.

the plant opened five years ago, could have called another strike. Under the
