Teacher’s Book
Guidelines for Teachers
Advance with English 5 aims to develop the students’ communicative skills
as well as their ability to produce correct sentences. Therefore the activities
require pair and group work as well as individual work. Students should be
encouraged to discuss problems and tackle tasks together.
The fear of making language errors should not discourage students
from communicating. Individual students’ oral errors can be noted by the
teacher then corrected periodically as a class activity. Written errors should
be marked in the usual way. However, steps should be taken to reduce the
number of errors by the thorough preparation of written work before writing,
and the insistence that students proofread their written work in class before
handing it in.
Another problem area for students is the development of thought
processes and ideas. For example, each unit begins with a pre-reading
section, which requires students to give their own ideas and opinions, or
make predictions and intelligent guesses about previously unconsidered
subjects. Whether their answers are ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ is of little importance,
as the value of exercise lies in the thought processes it engenders and the
opportunities for communication it creates.
Each teaching unit of Advance with English 5 contains five thematically
linked sections: Reading; Language practice; Using English or Reading for
information; Practical Conversation, and Composition.

READING
This normally consists of reading material with pre-, while-, and post-reading
exercises linked to vocabulary, structure, and summary exercises. The materials
are related to other language work later in the unit, particularly composition.
There is a wide variety of different types of reading, authentic in both
language and format. This includes articles from newspapers and magazines
(Units 1 and 3), extracts from books of fiction and non-fiction, history and
autobiography (Units 2, 4, 7, 9 and 10) and items such as reports (Unit 8),
and job advertisements (Unit 10).

HOW TO USE THE MATERIAL


The introductory section presents the topic students will read about. It
should be used by the teacher to elicit students’ present knowledge of the
subject and opinions about it. For example, the teacher can ask the following
questions in relation to Unit 1:
What are some problems that traffic causes to you personally?
1
Discuss them with your classmates and list three or four examples.
Students can then report these to the class and make a list of the most
common problems.
How could changes in traffic arrangements affect shop owners?
If the people who live on a road or a district do not agree with what the
authorities have done, what actions can they take?
The What do you think? section continues the thinking processes started
in the introductory section. Students anticipate what they will read about
by scanning the material, looking at titles, pictures, captions and other
features. At this stage they must not read the passage. Next, they should make
intelligent guesses and express opinions about the content of the material
by answering the questions in this section.
The value of the exercise is in the students’ attempts to answer (rather
than the actual answers) which should be checked and discussed in class
before the detailed reading starts. Unanswered questions should be returned
to after the detailed reading. As in the previous section, the objective is to
generate thought, discussion, and anticipation of the content.
The Finding the facts section which follows, aims to provide students
with a purpose for reading. This usually takes the form of an information-
extraction type exercise where students are required to find information in
the passage that will enable them to complete various exercises, for example,
a map (Unit 1), an interview (Unit 2) or a set of notes (Unit 3). Sometimes
the students are asked to match statements with speakers (Unit 4) or with
the facts in the passage (Unit 9). These activities would normally be done
individually, but may lend themselves to pair or group work.
The Words in context section provides students with the opportunity
to study the reading material in more detail. The use of realia means that
students face more lexical items than they would in graded reading passages.
To help them understand and retain these items, they have usually been
divided into words for recognition only and words for production.
The vocabulary exercises are designed to encourage students to use
contextual clues and make intelligent guesses to determine meanings. There
are also exercises requiring students to use new lexical items for production
in different contexts. These vocabulary items are reviewed in Units 5 and 11
(Revision).
The Think about it section contains comprehension questions,
requiring students to consider and evaluate what they have read. These
include multiple-choice and open-ended questions, and questions that test
understanding of implication, opinion, and the writer’s intention.

2
The Reading section normally ends with a summary exercise. Having
read the passage and understood it thoroughly the students can tackle this
final exercise in selection, comprehension, and expression with confidence.
This Summary section contains a wide variety of exercises designed to
develop progressively the students’ summarizing skills. Considerable
guidance on technique is given at the start and gradually withdrawn, until
students are left with only minimal help.

LANGUAGE PRACTICE
This section provides a series of graded and contextualized exercises,
designed to engage the students in the meaningful, communicative use of
language.
First, students are presented with language items and explanations of
their functions. Students are then guided through a series of exercises, some
tightly controlled, which require them to use the language intelligently, not
mechanically. Examples can be found in Unit 2, where students are asked in
exercise A to analyse how events are put in sequence in the reading passage
using as, before, and after. The students are then required to sequence a series
of events, using the correct language in exercise B. In exercise C they are
asked first to study how the writer uses because to express surprise. They then
practise using these language functions, firstly in a short quiz and secondly
in completing the explanation of a graph. In the Language practice section,
the emphasis is again on varied and practical activities.

HOW TO USE THE MATERIAL


Various approaches are possible. For example, in Unit 2 the students can work
in pairs to complete the table in exercise A and to complete the sequencing
in exercise B. Exercise C (1 and 2) could be activities for the whole class,
while for exercise C3, the explanation of the graph could be completed in
groups, with one student from each group reporting back to the whole class.
Most exercises are designed to be done orally but they may be written later,
at the teacher’s discretion.
Many of the exercises are designed for pair work (Unit 1, section D).
In the early units, the teacher may want to take the part of S1 or S2, and
for students to respond, before progressing to student pair practice. The
teacher can go round the class listening and offering encouragement and
tactful correction, while the students do the exercises themselves. Further
reinforcement can be provided by asking students to write out some or all
of the language items.
3
USING ENGLISH
This section usually alternates with the Reading for information section
described below. It presents students with practical tasks in which they must
use language intelligently, in realistic contexts. These tasks include writing
minutes and questionnaires, form-filling, asking for and giving directions,
making flow charts and interpreting graphs, following instructions, and
applying for jobs, including the writing of applications and resumes.
In Unit 1, for example, students are asked to check some notes taken at
a meeting for accuracy, by comparing them with a tapescript. The features
of these notes, especially the use of abbreviations, are emphasized; thus
students are taught a number of common abbreviations. They are finally
asked to complete a set of minutes using the notes they have already corrected
and the language forms they practised in the preceding Language practice
section.

READING FOR INFORMATION


This section is designed to familiarize students with a wide variety of reading
material, which differs from that found in the Reading section. It gives
students the opportunity to acquire and practise the skills needed to use such
material for their own reference. For example, in Unit 5 students are given
practice in reading indexes, tables of contents, and publishers’ blurbs, and
further practice in scanning reading matter for specific information.
Most of these exercises are designed for individual work but they should
be accompanied by discussion to clarify any misunderstandings or to deal
with points of interest.

PRACTICAL CONVERSATION
This section is normally divided into four parts: Pronunciation practice,
Dialogue reading, Dialogue practice, and Picture conversation. Pronunciation
practice is provided by minimal word pairs and by practising the words in
the context of sentences. There are exercises on vowel and consonant sounds,
the consonant clusters and final consonants and on stress and intonation.
The main aim of the Dialogue reading section is to increase students’
fluency. The dialogues are linked thematically to the Reading or Language
practice section of each unit and sometimes express a language function,
for example, congratulations and sympathy (Unit 9). They are designed to
be practised by students working in pairs, but teachers may feel they should
periodically take the part of the questioner.

4
Before practising dialogues, however, the teacher should read the
dialogue once to the students. The teacher should then repeat the dialogue,
this time pausing at appropriate points and asking individual students to
repeat. Students should then practise in pairs while the teacher observes and
helps, tactfully correcting, or noting mistakes for later correction. Finally
one or two pairs of students can perform for the whole class.
In the Dialogue practice section, students are required to work in pairs
or in groups to create their own dialogues in response to the prompts in
the texts. The dialogues are thematically linked to the rest of the unit and in
most cases illustrate a language function: asking for opinions or expressing
likes and dislikes (Unit 1). In two cases the dialogues are situational:
borrowing a library book (Unit 6) and asking and answering questions at a
job interview (Unit 10). Students should study the dialogues first and work
out their responses. They should then practise the dialogues while the teacher
listens, helps and corrects, or notes any mistakes for later discussion and
correction.
The Picture conversation section is usually related to the theme of the
reading material in the Reading section. A detailed picture is accompanied
by questions which are designed to encourage students to express their own
points of view, as well as asking them to make factual observations about the
picture. The aim is to help students develop the ability to talk confidently
about matters of general interest.
Students can work on these picture conversations in small groups,
with one student asking the questions and the others responding in turn.
The teacher can circulate and deal with any problems that arise. Finally the
teacher can take the role of questioner and elicit answers from individual
students.

COMPOSITION
The Composition exercises are presented in two parts: Discussion and
Writing. In addition, in the first three units of the book, there are exercises
on paragraph writing. The Composition exercises generally come at the end
of the unit and are related to the Reading section and to other parts of the
unit, for example Language practice.
The three exercises in the Paragraph writing section are designed to
remind students that compositions are composed of paragraphs, and that
paragraphs comprise a topic sentence that expresses the main theme,
supported by sentences that illustrate or develop this. Detailed instructions
on how to write the paragraphs can be found in the Student’s book. While

5
the actual writing may be done as a home assignment, the preparation work
should be done in class.
Discussion must always precede the writing of the composition so that
students will generate the ideas they will later write about. Full details on
how to conduct the discussions are given in the Composition sections of the
book. It should be noted that the discussions are conducted in groups of
four or five students.
The compositions in the Writing section are designed to be as practical
and useful as possible and to introduce students to the many kind of writing
tasks listed in both the teaching and the examination syllabuses. They
therefore include letters, reports, articles, a speech and a radio script as well
as a factual and imaginative compositions.
Students should read carefully the instructions for discussion in the
Composition section in each unit and be quite clear about the rules and what
they intend to achieve in their discussion. The teacher should provide any
explanation necessary. For example, in Unit 1, students are asked to play
the roles of committee members of a residents’ association and discuss part
of a letter from the traffic authorities. This requires them to give answers to
specific questions. While the students are discussing this letter in groups
(the suggested group size is five), the teacher should listen, help, encourage
and answer questions. When the groups have finished their discussions, it
is usually a good strategy for one member of each group to report back to
the whole class. Different groups will probably arrive at different decisions
and the reasons for this can encourage further discussion. The aim is not
to get the whole class to agree to the same set of decisions but to generate
good discussion skills.
After the discussion, the students will be clear about the subject matter
of the composition and it is suggested that they write as individuals, although
groups are advised for Unit 7 and pairs for Unit 8. In some units, for example
Unit 1, guidelines or hints on writing are given and it may be necessary to
discuss these with the students before the actual writing takes place.

STUDY NOTES
Each unit ends with a set of Study notes which briefly restate the main
language points covered in the unit. They are designed to help students
remember what they have studied and to serve as an aid to revision.

E Yes, I remember the incident quite well. Miss Blackwell wanted to
become a doctor but a lot of people were against the idea and when
her application was considered there was a lot of opposition. However,
she had been recommended by a very influential doctor and, of course,
we didn’t want him to be offended. We didn’t know what to do until
someone suggested that the student body should be asked to consider
the matter. We were sure that when they saw her application they
would turn it down. So we decided to turn the matter over to them.
However, the result surprised us. They voted to admit Miss Blackwell.
In fact the vote in her favour was unanimous. Some students wanted
the college to be the first to train a woman doctor so that they could
boast about it. Others thought women should be treated equally and
this belief was quite genuine. So Miss Blackwell had to be admitted
by the college authorities. They had no other choice. So she became
the first woman to enter the medical profession.

2 A Philadelphia doctor. He recognized Elizabeth’s potential and
recommended her to Geneva College. Because the doctor was
influential, the college authorities considered Elizabeth’s application
even though they did not want a female student.
3 The students were normally rude, boisterous, and riotous but as
soon as Elizabeth entered the lecture room with the dean, the
students fell completely silent. This dramatic change in behaviour
was a direct result of Elizabeth’s arrival.

23
I 1 Elizabeth Blackwell wanted to become the first woman doctor in
the world. She applied to Geneva College for a place on the medical
course and her application was accepted after a lot of delay. Both
the college authorities and the students had considered Elizabeth’s
application. Surprisingly, the students approved it unanimously
and informed the college authorities who were dismayed at the
students’ decision.
Elizabeth arrived at the college and shortly afterwards was
introduced to the students by the dean. The students, numbering
about a hundred and fifty were rude, boisterous, and riotous.
In fact, the residents of the area had complained to the college
about the bad behaviour of its students. When Elizabeth entered
the lecture room for the first time, small and plainly dressed but
with a firm and determined expression on her face, the students
sat down and fell silent. The silence was so profound that it was
possible to hear every word of what the dean said.

C 4 Zain said that only men could do the most important jobs in
society, e.g., managers, governors, doctors.
However, Naila stated that this was untrue and that women
were equally capable. She gave the example of Benazir Bhutto,
the Prime Minister.
Zain argued that women should not be given responsible jobs
because when they married, they usually left to have children.
Naila said that this was untrue because most women returned to
work only six weeks after having a child. Zain stated that women
left their jobs more frequently than men, so they shouldn’t be
trusted with important positions which might be difficult to fill.
Naila argued that women often left jobs because male managers
were afraid to promote them to responsible positions in case they
left! She said that as a result, many women got bored and left to
find more interesting work. She stated that companies lost a lot
of talent in this way.
Zain said that he thought women were not suitable to do
certain jobs like working on building sites. Naila asked why not
and argued that only recently there had been a newspaper article
about a very successful female scaffolding constructor.

24
Zain concluded that women were not strong enough to do
heavy manual jobs. However, Naila stated that modern machinery
made many previously heavy jobs much lighter and argued that
as a result, women could do them too.

Dear Mr Ali,
Book Sales for 2003
As requested, I enclose a graph showing our book sales for 2003.
You will see from the graph that in January and February we
sold 5,000 books. Our sales then rose to 15,000 in March but fell
again to 5,000 in April. This was because the shop was damaged
by fire and we had to close it for two weeks.
In May and June, sales rose steadily to 15,000 again and stayed
at that level in July. In August there was a large increase to 25,000.
The reason for this was that children were buying school books.
Sales then fell again in September and October but began rising in
November. In December we sold 35,000 books, our highest number
for the year. This was because people were buying books for Eid
presents.
I hope this is clear. Please ring me if you want any further
information.
Yours sincerely,
M. Alam

B Name of incident: Jewel robbery


Date and time: June 18 at 2.50 p.m.
Names of suspects: Chinoy, Hasan, Jan, Aziz

At 10 a.m. on June 18, a white Datsun van, licence number RIT 7868,
drove into the car park on Park Street, opposite the National Bank. It
was probably driven by Miss Aziz.

39
At 1.30 p.m. Mrs Chinoy and Miss Aziz arrived at the car park.
Mrs Chinoy went to eat at Nadim’s. Miss Aziz went to Elegance hair
salon. According to a witness, Mrs Chinoy left Nadim’s at 2.30 p.m.
According to another witness, Miss Aziz remained at the hair salon
until 3.20 p.m.
At 2.30 p.m. Hasan and Jan arrived at the car park. Hasan said he
remained in the car park until 2.30 p.m. Jan said that during this time
he was at the bank, waiting to be served. A witness remembers serving
Jan at the bank at about 3 p.m. No witnesses saw Hasan between 2.30
p.m. and 3.20 p.m.
In view of the above, it seems likely that the robbery was carried
out by Hasan and Jan and that the getaway van was driven by Mrs
Chinoy. This van was probably driven to the car-park earlier in the
day by Miss Aziz. We therefore recommend that all four suspects be
brought in for further questioning.

4 There’s been a Wilson here for 150 years. In 1883 a young English
watchmaker named Alan B. Wilson arrived in New York, USA, and
set up a small but exclusive business making watches for a number of
clients. Today, some of the world’s finest timepieces bear his name.
Of course, over the years, we at Wilson’s have introduced one or
two rather bold changes. In the 1960s we took the step of introducing
a new electronic watch. Slim, modern and elegant, with it’s clean-cut
line, it soon established itself as a favourite with successful people
from all walks of life.
But what we at Wilson’s have never changed, however, is the concern
shown by our founder for making products of the highest quality.
(It takes eight hundred and forty separate operations to make a single
Wilson watch, and each component is machined to an accuracy of
one thousandth of a millimetre.)
A Wilson watch says a lot about the person who wears it. It
announces success, good taste and intelligence. So why postpone the
gift you or your loved ones deserve? A perfect gift for Mother’s day,
Father’s day, or birthdays or to mark any other special occasion. Only
when you see one of these magnificent watches on your wrist will you
appreciate the value it represents.

40
All our watches carry a lifetime guarantee. Come to any of Wilson’s
branches and buy now. Our sales persons will be delighted to help
you.

Dear Daisy,
You’re probably surprised to get this letter from London but I’ve
left home and I’m now living here alone. At last I am free!
Making up my mind to leave home took a long time. For
months I wandered about the hills thinking about it. But finally
I made my decision. Why did I want to leave my home and the
valley? I wanted to discover the world before I got married and
settled down.
I left home on a bright Sunday morning in early June. I got up
early and ate the breakfast my mother cooked. I’m sure she didn’t
want me to leave but she said nothing to stop me. She helped me
pack my belongings and then I walked to the road. Standing at the
top of the bank, my mother watched me go in silence, her hand
raised in farewell and blessing.
I had decided to walk to London but first I wanted to go to
Southampton because I had never seen the sea. My first day on
the road started off well. I felt excited and confident, but later in
the day I began to feel lonely and homesick and longed to hear the
sound of someone hurrying after me to call me back. But no one
came.
Now that I am in London I earn my living by playing the violin
but I hope soon to get a job working on a building site. And one
day I hope to visit you in Spain. It’s a country I’ve always wanted
to visit.
Until then, best wishes,

2 Sad. She showed her feelings by her motherly gestures of preparing
breakfast and helping her son get ready to leave, but her sadness

leave home.

homesick shortly after leaving home.

B Please look at the graph in front of you. It shows the number of


people who attended our Charity Fair from 1990 to 1994 and gives
an estimate for 1995.
As you can see, our first Charity Fair was held in 1990 and the
attendance was just over one thousand. The following year this figure
increased just slightly to two thousand and in 1992 the attendance
reached its highest figure ever—five thousand! Unfortunately, this
figure fell in 1993 to about three thousand. The reason for this was
bad weather.
However, the attendance figure remained the same in 1994, even
though the weather was good.
49
We plan to have more stalls in 1995 and I expect the attendance
to increase.
