Dear Student,
Welcome to the English Discoveries Student Workbook Basic31.
xc
lus
ivo
de
I
This workbook is especially for you! It will help you use, practice and progress in English.
NF
Each unit of the workbook corresponds directly to a unit in the English Discoveries Basic 1 course.
You should use this workbook together with the course. For example, after you do the Listening
OP
section 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 genres 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 you
will 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!

Dear Yvonne,
Thanks for your postcard. Im really pleased
that youve decided to take the job. Im sure
you will do very well.
I am still looking for a location for the Tshirt factory, but its not easy to find the
right place. I want a small or medium-sized
factory that is not too expensive. I also want
it to be not too far from the center of town,
but not too close either because I dont want
to be in traffic jams every morning.
I prefer to buy the factory rather than rent
it. That way we can do what we like with it. I
will let you know when I find something.
Regards,
Arlene

Paul, his two best friends, hadnt arrived yet because they got caught in a traffic
jam. Jasons brothers and sisters had bought him a new notepad computer for
his birthday, but Jasons sister, Mina, was in such a hurry to come and decorate
his house that she forgot the present at home. Jasons favorite cousin, Betty,
didnt come because she wasnt feeling well. Jasons brother, Lenny, came to the
party dressed in his janitors uniform because he didnt have time to go by his
house before the party. Jasons father, Dr. Meredith, suddenly had to leave the
party only five minutes after Jason arrived because there was an emergency at
the hospital. Jasons aunt, Linda, didnt bring the hot dogs because her dog ate
them all. But despite all this, once the party got going it was a great success and
everyone had a wonderful time.

Hello, listeners! This is Gore May with another Restaurant review!
I made a reservation at Prima Vera 2estaurant as soon as I heard about it. I was
expecting Prima Vera to be a very special place, and I was looking forward to
eating there. I came on time for my 1 p.m. reservation, but I had to wait 45 minutes!
The manager didnt even apologize. While I was waiting, I looked at Prima Veras
menu. What prices! Strawberries and cream cost $15! Finally, my table was ready,
but it was dirty. The rolls werent fresh, and the grilled fish was cold. Perhaps the
desserts are better, I thought. I ordered a slice of chocolate nut cake. While I was
eating it, I broke a tooth! I found a small stone in the cake! I complained to the
waiter, and phoned my insurance company. Listeners, dont go to Prima Vera
Restaurant! Eat at home. I promise you that youll enjoy it a lot more!

Ritas Trip Abroad

Ladies and gentlemen, our flight is arriving in Washington, D.C. shortly
Rita was looking out the window. Around her people were talking excitedly. Rita
was nervous. It was not only her first time abroad, but it was also her first time
outside her small village in Mexico. She was visiting her aunt and uncle for the
summer. She couldnt wait to go sightseeing. But she was a little worried about her
English. She knew some English from school, and she hoped it was good enough.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the capital of the United States.
Rita checked to make sure she had everything: her passport, the immigration form,
and her round-trip ticket. She followed the people out of the plane. She waited with
the other foreigners while the immigration officials asked each person many
questions. Rita was nervous, but the immigration officer patiently repeated each
question slowly and clearly. Rita found her suitcase and started walking toward the
exit. Many people were waiting outside. She was looking around, when she
suddenly heard someone shout her name.
Rita! Rita! It was her aunt and uncle!

The Party
After a long, busy day at work, Jason was finally going home. He was tired. He
wasnt thinking about anything special.
Perhaps I should go into the supermarket in our neighborhood, and pick up a
couple of pounds of strawberries, Jason thought.
While Jason was driving to the store, his car phone rang. It was his wife, Jenny.
Jason, where are you? Last night you promised to come home early to help me
prepare the food and decorate the house. You know that were having a party
tonight.
Oh, no! Jason said.
I had so much work today that I forgot about the party.
I know its always a good idea to remind you to come home early, even when you
promise, said Jenny. However, this time I expected you to remember.
At first, Jason didnt understand what Jenny was talking about, but then he

Sullivan, an usher at the Palladium Theater. Its difficult to stand so much! When
Im tired, I sit in an aisle seat during intermission, but my boss could fire me for
that. Ushers usually stand at the entrance to the auditorium. They give people
programs, look at their tickets, and show them their seats. Ushers must keep the
audience quiet, especially after the curtain goes up. It isnt always easy.
Last night one man was talking in a loud voice while the orchestra was playing,
says Xavier Marcos. I told him to be quiet, but he didnt stop talking. Some people
were very angry, but there was nothing I could do.
Actors and musicians sometimes work as ushers, too. Samantha Page studies
acting and is also an usher. I wont be an usher forever, she explains. Im going
to be famous one day. But Ill always remember beginning my career as an usher!
