Noncount nouns name things that can’t be counted. Noncount nouns have the same form for “one” or “more than one.” Do not add an –s to a noncount noun to make it plural.

EXAMPLE: When I get home from a trip, I have to unpack my luggage and make sure all of my homework is finished.

WRITING PRACTICECollaborate

1. Explain the grammar tip. Direct attention to the grammar tip and have students read along silently.

2. Introduce the frame. Draw attention to evidence as a noncount noun. Point out the adjective strong. The adjective strong is similar to the word partner convincing. Have students write the TW, evidence. In the first blank, the preposition to signals that we need to add an idea with a verb in the base form, such as listen to music. Have students echo-read the example sentence aloud. Provide additional examples. Cue students to think about how to complete the frame with relevant content.

3. Discuss, Agree, & Write Rehearse language for collaboration. Let’s review the process. A asks the question: What should we write? B replies: We could write . B then asks: What do you think makes sense? A replies: Let’s write . Direct students to brainstorm ideas, agree on one, and both write it. After you have each shared at least two ideas, agree on one, write it, and take turns reading it aloud.

4. Listen Preselect 2 students to share sentences aloud. Call on 2–3 more. Remind students to listen for similarities. Listen to your classmates and compare ideas. Record and display shared examples. Write one additional idea.

1. Echo-read the directions. Introduce the prompt and the frames. Cue students to read along silently. Review the grammar tip and point out the word partner One piece of. Have students write the TW, evidence.

2. Discuss & Listen Explain the first frame. For the first blank, point out the adjective more. Explain that a plural noun is needed, such as street lights. Provide additional examples. Have partners brainstorm ideas. Call on 2–3 students to report using the frame One idea we had was .

In the next frame, underline the words would help people. We need to add a reason that explains how the plural noun in the first frame is helpful. We need to start our idea with a verb in the base form, such as see at night. Prompt students to echo-read the example. Provide additional examples.

3. Write Cue students to think about how to complete the frames with relevant content, then write a strong response.

4. Discuss Direct students to share and restate responses multiple times using the frame So you’re saying that .

Unit 8: evidence

p. T160DAY 1

ToolkiT Word1. Point to the Toolkit word Today’s Toolkit word is evidence. Listen:

evidence, evidence. Now let’s say it together: evidence.

2. Say it Listen as I say it in syllables. Point to the stressed syllable that I said louder. Now, repeat it and tap out the syllables.

3. Part of speech The word evidence is a noun. A noun names a person, place, thing, or idea. Evidence is an idea.

4. Write it Copy the word evidence carefully.

Say evidencia. Say the word with me (or invite a student to model): evidencia. Now let’s write it under our Toolkit word.

5. Brief verbal example Last weekend, I thought I pushed start on my dishwasher. Unfortunately, when I began to empty the dishwasher, I discovered dirty, unwashed dishes. I had forgotten to start the dishwasher, and the dirty dishes were the evidence of my mistake.

6. Meaning Read it aloud. Have students chorally reread it.

7. Synonyms A synonym for the noun evidence is proof. In my example, I forgot to start the dishwasher, and the dirty dishes were the proof, or the… Students say: evidence.

8. Pictures and Examples Let’s look at the first picture. We see a dentist looking into a boy’s open mouth. Read the first Example sentence. Underline the Toolkit word evidence. Eating too much sugar can damage your teeth, so let’s write the word cavities. Echo-read the sentence.

Repeat step 8 with the second picture and example.

9. Forms and Family Evidence is a noun that can be counted. It has a singular form with no -s. Say it: evidence. This noun is not pluralized with an -s. Rather, you can say lots of evidence or pieces of evidence.

10. Word Partners Echo-read the first sentence. Underline the word partners convincing evidence in the sentence. We use this set of word partners when we want to talk or write about having information or proof that something is true. Now let’s look at another set of word partners. Read the sentence with me. Underline the word partners one piece of evidence in the sentence. When the plural form of a noun is the same as the singular form, we often use the phrase one piece of to signal one part of the information. In this sentence, the storm probably caused a lot of damage, but the smashed window is just one piece of evidence.

11. Try It a. Introduce the frame. Have students read along silently. Provide

and explain the example cake. Have students echo-read the example sentence. Provide additional examples.

b. Have students think about how to complete the frame with relevant content. Direct students to share completed frames. Bs go first. Read your sentence to your partner twice. First, read it fluently. Second, make eye contact and say it with expression. Then, switch roles. As share your sentence twice, and Bs listen.

c. Preselect 2 students to begin the class discussion. Call on 3 more students. Listen as your classmates share ideas. Record and display a list of shared examples. Write one additional idea next to your own.

p. T160DAY 2

Repeat Day 1, steps 1–4. Review the meaning and the first example.

VErBAl PrACTiCETalk About It

1. Echo-read the directions. Introduce the first frame and explain the grammatical cue. Underline was. Was is a past-tense verb. After was, we need to write an adjective that describes water that researchers would collect. Provide and explain the example polluted. Have students echo-read the example sentence. Provide additional examples. Think about how you could complete the frame.

2. Discuss Direct students to share ideas. As go first. Read your sentence aloud to your partner. Then, make eye contact and repeat your sentence with expression. Bs listen carefully. Then, switch roles. Keep sharing ideas back and forth. You will complete the frame after we’ve had our class discussion.

3. Listen Preselect 2 students to begin. Call on 2–3 more. Remind students to compare ideas, listening for similarities.

4. Write Record and display a list of shared examples. Have students write one. Write your own, a partner’s, or one from the class discussion.

Repeat the process for sentence frame #2. Underline the words yawning and you are extremely. We need to think of an adjective to describe someone who yawns, such as tired. Provide additional examples.

ROMAN ARMOR “The infantry soldier carries so much equipment that he differs little

from a mule,” said an observer frrom the first century A.D. Along

with his armor, shield, and weapons, which combined weighed

some 50 pounds, a soldier had to carry food, tools, and personal

belongings that could double the weight. Based on what you see

here, what might have been some challenges that Roman soldiers

encountered on and off the battlefield?

Hooded CloakWool kept soldiers warm.

Iron PickPicks were used in camp construction.

StakeEach soldier carried two to build a palisade.

CanteenCanteens held posca, a mixture of vinegar and water.

JavelinThe heavy javelin was thrown at close range and was designed to bend on impact.

SwordLegionaries wore it on the right; officers wore it on the left.

INTRODUCE THE PHOTOGRAPH

Have students study the model of Rome and the images that accompany it. Explain that this model represents the city at its greatest point during the time of the Roman Empire and that, in this chapter, they will learn about factors that contributed to its growth and development. ASK: How does Rome resemble modern cities you have seen? (Possible responses: It has many roads and buildings of dif ferent sizes. It contains places for entertainment and worship. It has an infrastructure that provides resources for its citizens.)

SHARE BACKGROUND

The model of imperial Rome was commissioned by Mussolini in 1933 to commemorate the 2,000th anniversary of the birth of Caesar Augustus. Depicting the city during the time of the emperor Constantine, it is built on a scale of 1:250 and is more than 55 feet across. The model is currently on display at the Museum of Roman Civilization in Rome.

Learn the FundamentalsStudents who begin in Fundamentals 1 and 2 need sequential work in phonemic awareness, phonics, decoding, and spelling as well as foundational work in vocabulary, language, and writing.

Build Reading and Writing PowerStudents who begin in Levels A, B, or C have more advanced language proficiency. They have learned to read, but they still need intensive work to build academic vocabulary and language, to learn reading strategies, and to develop skill in comprehension, literary analysis, and writing.

Language development lessons promote the use of more complex language functions and grammar. They greatly expand vocabulary and develop facility with non-literal language. Reading skills and strategies spiral across the levels and are taught with text at increasingly high reading levels.

5D Why We Laugh

“ You are laughing to show people that you understand them, that you agree with them, that you’re part of the same group as them.” SOPHIE SCOTT

AUTHENTIC LISTENING SKILLS

1 Read the Authentic Listening Skills box. Then listen to the first part of the TED Talk and answer the questions.

34

1 What words or ideas does the speaker repeat?2 What words tell us that she’s talking about her

childhood?3 In your own words, say what you think she’s describing.

2 Listen again. What is the point of Sophie’s story? 34

a When she was a child, she usually didn’t understand her parents’ jokes.

b When we hear people laughing, we want to laugh with them.

c Sometimes, laughing can make the people around you feel bad.

5.1

1 Sophie’s parents were laughing at a song.2 The first recording includes both a man and an animal.3 Sophie is worried that the second person laughing

doesn’t breathe in.4 The third recording is an example of a monkey laughing,

which is very similar to a human.

CRITICAL THINKING Recognize supporting evidence

Speakers often give evidence to support their theory or idea. Evidence may include images, recordings, demonstrations, or quotations from experts or other reliable people.

7 Read the Critical Thinking box. Work in pairs. How does this evidence from the talk support Sophie Scott’s message that “laughter is an ancient behavior that we use to benefit ourselves and others in complex and surprising ways.”

1 She plays examples of real human beings laughing and asks us to think about how primitive laughter is as a sound.

2 She points out that the audience laughed when listening to others laugh.

3 She plays recordings of voluntary and involuntary laughter.

8 Work in pairs. Discuss the questions.

1 Which part of Sophie’s talk was the most interesting to you? Why?

2 Have your ideas about laughter changed? How?

C H A L L E N G E

For a couple of days, listen for people laughing. Try to notice examples of both real and polite laughter. Make notes. Present your results to the class, explaining the situations where you heard each type of laughter.

9 Work in groups. Discuss the questions.

1 Sophie says that we laugh “to show people that [we] understand them, that [we] agree with them, that [we]’re part of the same group as them.” What other ways do we show that we are part of the group?

2 Most people are part of more than one group. How many groups are people in at your school?

3 How do the people in the groups you named in Question 2 show that they are part of that group?

Read about Sophie Scott and get ready to watch her TED Talk. 5.0

Dealing with fast speech

Some people speak very quickly, often because they are excited about a topic or they are nervous. Here are some ways to deal with fast speech:

• Listen for words or ideas that the speaker repeats.• Try to identify the main idea and then connect it with what

you hear.• Focus on what you do understand and try not to worry too

much about what you don’t understand.

Unit 5 Family and Friends 6564 Unit 5 Family and Friends

VOCABULARY BUILDING Noun forms 1 Look at these pairs of words. How are the nouns formed

from verbs and adjectives?

Verb Noun Adjective Noun analyze analysis concerned concern assess assessment intelligent intelligence conclude conclusion flexible flexibility know knowledge fluent fluency publish publication logical logic vary variety useful usefulness

2 Choose the correct words from Activity 1 to complete the sentences.

1 I know a lot of words in English, but I need to become more in using them!

2 My main when I do anything in English is not to make any mistakes.

3 I got a good grade in the last I did for English.

4 I’d like to write a novel and it myself.5 I like to do things in a(n) order, from

A to B to C.6 The in my study schedule allows me

to study when I feel most productive.7 I don’t think exams are a(n)

demonstration of how much people know.

3 Work in pairs. Which sentences in Activity 2 are true for you? What do you think they say about you? Which sentences do you think are signs of creativity? Why?

4 Work in groups. Think of other verb / noun and adjective / noun combinations that follow the patterns in Activity 1.

READING 5 Work in groups. Discuss the questions.

1 What do you think it means to be creative?2 Do you think creativity is only connected to the arts?3 How important is creativity these days? Why?4 Do you think it is possible to assess levels of creativity? 5 Who is the most creative person you know? Why?

6 Read about a set of tests commonly used to assess creativity. Think about the questions as you read.

1 What do the tests involve?2 Does the author think they are good tests of creativity?

7 Work in pairs. Answer the questions and discuss your ideas. Then read about the tests again to check.

1 When were the tests first published?2 How are the tests scored?3 How are divergent and convergent thinking different?4 Why were people worried about children’s test scores in

the United States?5 What are the possible causes for the drop in test scores?6 How does problem-based learning encourage creativity?

8 Look at the four examples of divergent thinking tasks in lines 11–22. Work in groups to complete one.

9 Compare your results from Activity 8 with a partner. Use the questions to evaluate their creativity. What do you think the questions tell you about a person’s creativity?

1 How many logical solutions are there to the task?2 How original are the solutions?3 How well can the solutions be explained?

CRITICAL THINKING Fact and opinion 10 Read the statements about Torrances’s Tests of Creative

Thinking. Do they present facts or opinions?

Facts are statements that are true. Opinions are statements showing what people believe.

1 Torrance found that people often scored very differently on the different parts of the tests.

2 Torrance believed you could teach creativity. The tests were originally teaching tools.

3 The tests give the idea that creativity is all one thing. Fail the tests and you are not creative.

4 Torrance collected information about adults’ creative success by asking them to fill out a form to report what they had achieved creatively.

5 Learning to solve one problem rarely helps to solve another kind of problem.

6 It’s difficult to see how the tests measure creativity in science or mathematics.

11 MY PERSPECTIVE

Work in pairs. Discuss the questions.

1 Would you like to use the problem-based way of learning? Why?

2 How is creativity encouraged in your school?

7B Testing Times

Testing Creative Thinking 34 It is now over 50 years since the

first publication of E.P. Torrance’s Tests of Creative Thinking, which continue to be used worldwide as standard assessments of creativity.

The tests typically consist of “divergent thinking” tasks—the ability to generate a wide variety of solutions that are then scored on fluency, flexibility, originality, and how fully explained they are. For example:

•Waystoimprove:Whatcouldyoudotomake a toy truck more fun to play with?

•Imagineconsequences:Howwouldtheworld be different if everyone had an eye in the back of their head?

•Alternativeuses:Howmanyunusualusesfor a brick can you think of?

•Makedrawingsfromashape:TurntheXsinto pictures people might be surprised by.TheXcanbeinanypartofthepicture.Adddetailstotellcompletestoriesand give each picture a title.

Somequestionifthetestsfullyassesscreativity because they say creativity is about originality and usefulness. Creativity not onlyrequiresdivergentthinkingbutalso“convergent thinking,” where you find one single solution that you feel is the best for the problem you are trying to solve.

Torrance followed the lives of children who first took his tests to see if they predicted creativeachievementsasadults.Analyses

of these studies suggest they do. In fact, his tests are better at judging future creative success than intelligence tests. This is why theyarefrequentlyusedtoidentifytopmanagers in business and children for special educational programs. It is also why there was concern in the United States when the magazine Newsweek reported that children’s scores on the tests were falling.

Some have argued that this drop is because of children’s lifestyles: too many video games, too much TV, and too little freedom to make choices. Others have suggested that education in the United States has become too focused on exam results, so teachers use fewer creative activities and favor more traditional learning. This is in contrast to countries with a history of more traditional activities, like China and its emphasis on memorization and drills. These countries are doing the opposite, and encouraging creativitythroughtechniquessuchasproblem-based learning.

Problem-based learning involves setting a genuine problem, such as reducing noise in a school library or deciding on a week of meals for an athlete. In reaching a conclusion, students have to do research across several subjects and be creative in the fullest sense. No doubt Torrance would have approved if he was still alive.

84 Unit 7 Outside the Box

VOCABULARY BUILDING Compound nouns 1 What places do visitors to your city or a city near you

usually visit?

2 Use words in columns A and B to make compound nouns. Check the spelling in a dictionary.

A B 1 sight site 2 a walking station 3 an underground transportation 4 a shopping seeing 5 a building mall 6 public tour

7 urban tracks 8 train top 9 a sky park 10 a roof exploration 11 an amusement scraper 12 a view point

3 Listen and check your answers to Activity 2. Underline the stressed part of each compound noun. Is there a general rule about where the stress is? 9

2B Urban Explorers

4 Which of the compound nouns in Activity 2 are things visitors might do, use, or visit? Which are buildings? Which are places the public doesn’t usually go?

5 Use the compound nouns in Activity 2 to make eight sentences about your town or city.

READING 6 You are going to read an article about urban explorers

(urbexers). Write three questions you’d like to find out about them. Does the article answer your questions?

7 Choose the correct ending to complete the sentences.

1 The article begins by talking about options for tourists because:

a they are good examples of urban exploration. b they are very different from what urbexers do. c the writer wants to recommend some ways of

exploring cities.

2 The places that urban explorers visit are: a always underground. b not used anymore. c not usually attractive to many people.

3 Bradley Garrett: a knows Paris very well. b doesn’t like high places. c wouldn’t be a very good guide for traditional tourists.

4 Bradley and his friends: a weren’t allowed to go to London’s abandoned

underground stations. b can’t explore together anymore. c didn’t climb the Shard.

5 Garrett’s trip to the top of the Legacy Tower was: a easy. b lonely. c well planned.

6 Zhao Yang: a investigates abandoned factories. b explores with friends. c doesn’t want to tell anyone about his experiences.

7 The article ends by: a describing more activities that urban explorers do. b recommending other ways of exploring cities. c explaining the health benefits of urban exploration.

CRITICAL THINKING Selecting information

Writers have to think about the kind of information that will interest their readers.

8 Read the Critical Thinking box. Which questions does the article answer about urbexers and urban exploration?

1 Does urban exploration happen all over the world?2 How long have people been exploring in this way?3 How many people do it?4 If I want to explore my local urban area, what can I do?5 Is the word “urbexer” in the dictionary? 6 What are some of the stories that urbexers have?7 Why is urban exploration attractive to some people?8 What kind of places do urbexers visit?9 What personal qualities do urbexers need?

9 Work in groups. Discuss the questions.

1 Did the article answer all your questions in Activity 6? 2 What other information would you like to learn? 3 How could you find out the answers to the questions

that weren’t answered?

10 Do you think the author did a good job? Did he choose the information that was interesting to you?

LIFE ON THE EDGE OF THE CITY

10 How do you get to know a city you’ve never been to before? For most people, the typical tourist options are enough. Take a bus tour to see the sights or, if you’re feeling energetic, consider a walking tour. To get a taste of city life, use public transportation.

But there are people who want more than the standard tourist options. They are urbexers—urban explorers. They’re interested in discovering parts of the city we normally see as less beautiful, the places tourists are not supposed to see: ghost underground stations that have been closed for years, shopping malls and amusement parks at night, abandoned* factories, building sites, tunnels, and train tracks. It’s not for everybody. You can’t be scared of heights or small spaces and you have to be willing to take risks.

Bradley Garrett is one of them. Urbexers don’t follow the same routes as everyone else: “I’ve been to Paris six times and I’ve seen more of the city underground than I have above ground,” he says. “If somebody asked me for a good restaurant, I’d have no idea.”

It wasn’t until Bradley and his urbexer friends had climbed to the top of London’s tallest skyscraper, the Shard, and had managed to visit all of the city’s fourteen abandoned underground stations that the police stopped them exploring as a group. Bradley was studying urbexers for a book he was writing when they were stopped.

Bradley’s best experience as an urbexer was in Chicago with friends when they climbed the Legacy Tower, a 72-story skyscraper. “We were sitting on a rooftop looking up at this building when someone suggested we try to get up it. So we walked in and just got in the elevator after some residents had opened the door. When we made it up to the roof, it was the most incredible view I’ve ever seen.”

Why do urbexers do it? Many enjoy the excitement of putting themselves in danger. Some enjoy the feeling they get from being alone in abandoned places. “I feel I’m the only person in the world,” says Zhao Yang, a Chinese 29 year old who explores places where people used to work, like old industrial sites and abandoned hospitals. Like many urbexers, Zhao is an avid photographer who takes his smartphone to record what he sees, and, like many, he also writes a blog about his experiences, but he prefers to explore alone.

This can be dangerous, of course, but if you’re interested in exploring city spaces there are safe ways of doing it. For example, it’s easy to look at a map, identify an area that is new to you, and go there. Another way is to try to get lost in your own town. Or you could just set off for a walk without planning your route. Who knows what you might find!

4D Why I’m a Weekday Vegetarian

“ If all of us ate half as much meat, it would be like half of us were vegetarians.” GRAHAM HILL

AUTHENTIC LISTENING SKILLS

Pausing

When people are speaking to an audience, they often pause to break their sentences up into short sections, or chunks. This makes it easier for the listeners to follow. Speakers often pause:

• at the end of sentences.

• where there is a comma or other punctuation.

• to separate adverbial phrases, e.g. expressions about time or place.

• before an important word or phrase.

• between the subject of a sentence and its verb when the subject is long.

1 Listen to the beginning of the TED Talk. Mark the pauses. 27

About a year ago, | I asked myself a question: “Knowing what I know, why am I not a vegetarian?”

2 Mark where you think Graham pauses in the next two sentences. Then listen to check. 28

After all, I’m one of the green guys: I grew up with hippie parents in a log cabin. I started a site called TreeHugger—I care about this stuff.

WATCH 3 Work in pairs. Make a list of reasons that somebody

might be a vegetarian (e.g., "It's good for your health.").

4 Watch Part 1 of the talk. Put the problems with eating meat in the order that Graham mentions them. Which problem doesn’t he mention? 4.1

a It is bad for the planet. b The animals suffer in poor conditions. c It is expensive. d It is unhealthy. e People are eating more and more meat.

5 Complete the facts about eating meat. Then watch Part 1 again and check your answers. 4.1

1 If you eat one every day, it can increase the possibility of dying by a third.

2 We keep animals for meat each year in factory-farm conditions.

3 Meat causes more emissions than all .4 Beef production uses 100 times more than

most vegetables do.5 We are eating meat as in the 1950s.

6 Watch Part 2. Choose the correct option. 4.2

1 Why does Graham say to the audience: “Imagine your last hamburger”?a He wants them to see what a difficult decision

becoming a vegetarian is.b He wants to help the audience become a vegetarian.c He wants them to feel sorry for him.

2 Which of these rules is part of Graham’s solution?a Only eat fish on the weekend.b Don’t eat meat on Saturdays and Sundays.c Reduce the amount of meat you eat by 70 percent.

3 Which part of Graham’s solution is he happiest about?a He’s not creating so much pollution.b He’s got more money. c He’s healthier.

7 Work in pairs. Graham says that “we as a society are eating twice as much meat as we did in the ‘50s.” How has diet changed in your country in the last 100 years?

8 VOCABULARY IN CONTEXT

a Watch the clips from the TED Talk. Choose the correct meaning of the words and phrases. 4.3

b Answer the questions. Compare answers in pairs.1 Do you do any hobbies where there is a risk of

hurting yourself?2 What is the combined age of your family?3 Do you ever want to do things that are in conflict

with what you should be doing? What?4 Have you ever come up with a way of making

money? What?5 Have you ever done any damage to another

person’s possessions?

CRITICAL THINKING Persuading your audience

There are many ways that speakers can persuade their listeners to do things. They can:a describe personal experiences that others can relate to.b make it sound achievable.c offer choice and flexibility.d point out the personal benefits of doing it.e ask themselves and the audience questions.f ask listeners to imagine a situation.

9 How does Graham try to persuade his audience? Match the excerpts to techniques (a–f) in the Critical thinking box. Each excerpt may use more than one technique.

1 Knowing what I know, why am I not a vegetarian?2 Any of these angles should have been enough to

convince me to go vegetarian. Yet, there I was —chk, chk, chk —tucking into a big old steak.

3 Imagine your last hamburger.4 I’d commit to doing it later, and not surprisingly,

later never came. Sound familiar?5 I’ve been doing it for the last year, and it’s great.

It’s called weekday veg.6 On the weekend, your choice. Simple. If you want to take

it to the next level…7 It’s okay to break it here and there.8 Best of all, I’m healthier, I know that I’m going to live

longer, and I’ve even lost a little weight.

10 Work in pairs. Discuss the questions.

1 Which of Graham’s reasons for becoming a weekday vegetarian are the most convincing?

2 Would you consider becoming a weekday vegetarian (if you aren’t already)? How easy or difficult do you think it would be? Why?

3 If you are a vegetarian, do you think part-time vegetarianism is a good thing?

C H A L L E N G E

Do a survey. Find out what other people in the class think about becoming a weekday vegetarian.

1. Dina describes Stockholm as a city in motion. Ask students what they think she means by this. Play the end of the video again so that students can hear the description in context to work out its meaning. Then ask different students to share with the class whether their city is a city in motion, and explain why or why not.

2. Individually, or in pairs or groups, have students make a short video about their city using their smartphones or tablets. If students are not in their city, they can just record themselves talking about it without showing the city in the video. Have students use their ideas in C about which places to include and decide what they want to say about each place. Elicit from students a list of facts they could include (population, weather, and historical information, for example).

Students can then share their videos in class or on the Internet. If video is not an option, students can make a poster instead. Encourage them to include images in their poster. 10 min

1 Video My City: Stockholm

WARM UP Write Sweden on the board. Elicit any ideas or knowledge students have about Sweden: Where is it? What’s the capital city? Is it a big city? modern? What’s the weather like? Write their ideas on the board (don’t erase them until you have finished working with the video, as the vocabulary will be useful while they watch). 5 min

ABOUT THE vIDEOIn this video, Dina, an Iranian-born resident of Stockholm, Sweden, takes us on a brief tour of this capital city. Stockholm is built on 14 islands which are joined by 57 bridges, and is the largest city in Sweden. over 20 percent of the country’s total population lives in Stockholm. Due to its northern location, it has cold, snowy winters, when the days are very short, and summers with long, light days. Centuries ago, Stockholm was the center of the Viking world; now it is one of the cosmopolitan centers of Scandinavia (the historic region of northern Europe, consisting of Sweden, Denmark, and norway). Finland and Iceland are also often included in this group of nordic countries, because of their similar language, culture, and history.

TEACHINg TIP: Using English videosRemind students that just as with any listening exercise, the first time they watch something, they shouldn’t worry about understanding details. They should focus on understanding the gist of the video. Realizing that they can understand the main ideas in an authentic video will help students build confidence. Encourage them to build on this confidence by watching short videos in English on the Internet about topics they’re interested in outside of class.

A Look at the Word Bank. Then complete the sentences. 5–10 min

Direct students to the photo and caption, and ask students what they see. Then, go over the definitions in the Word Bank. Have students complete the sentences, then compare answers with a partner. Check answers with the class. Make sure students understand that item 4 refers to the metro station in the photo. Have students give their opinion on the idea of a metro station being an art exhibition. Is there anything like that in their country?
