Introduction This workbook is designed to be used in conjunction with the Success International English Skills for Cambridge IGCSE Student’s Book Fourth Edition. For convenience, many of its exercises are cross-referenced to the Student’s Book section. However, the Workbook can also be used successfully without reference to the course, as the exercises are self-explanatory and complete in themselves. The answers are provided in the Success International English Skills for Cambridge IGCSE Teacher’s Book, Fourth Edition. Any student preparing for the Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language examination will benefit from this book, as will students at upper-intermediate to advanced level who wish to broaden and consolidate their language ability in English.

Aims and objectives The Workbook aims to consolidate and test students’ understanding of the language and themes introduced in the Student’s Book. For example, Unit 3 of the course focuses on note­ making and summary writing, and the main topic is the importance of sport, fitness and diet in our lives. The Workbook unit follows this up with detailed practice on points of vocabulary, writing more concisely, note­ making, and sum m arising a ‘mini’ text. Similarly, Unit 8 teaches story-telling skills, so the corresponding Workbook unit provides a wide variety of exercises to further develop narrative technique.

Flexibility of use

How students will benefit Students are given substantial additional practice in English, in exercise formats which provide a useful contrast to those in the Student’s Book, and which present different kinds of challenges. The Workbook supports achievement by showing students good and not so good examples of language. Text-completion exercises, when finished, provide valuable examples for real-life writing purposes, highlighting the importance of developing writing style, with appropriate tone and register and audience awareness. The aim of the Success International course is to increase student independence by encouraging a mature attitude to learning and an understanding of meaning. The Workbook complements this by encouraging students to work out answers for themselves, to take care in checking their work, and to make sure their answers make complete sense. This will help reduce over-reliance on the teacher.

Range of exercises The following list is not exhaustive, but gives a flavour of the range of exercises in the Workbook. Students are offered plenty of variety to keep them interested and on their toes. • vocabulary development, idioms, phrasal verbs •

prefixes and suffixes

• collocations

Self-access

• spelling and punctuation

Students can use the W orkbook without help from the teacher, m aking it very suitable for homework and private study.

•

use of prepositions

• sentence construction • grammar revision

In the classroom

• textual organisation, logical reasoning and understanding meaning

The Workbook can be used during lessons to complement the work being done with the Student’s Book.

•

Tests

• developing your writing style

Exercises from the W orkbook can be set as language tests during the term, to check students’ understanding of the material in the coursebook.

•

paragraphing

• tone and register understanding visual information (maps, graphs and charts).

I love fashion but I think there's too much pressure on young people to buy the latest styles. Every month, we read articles like vours which insist that a new stvle is in and the outfit we bought last season is out.

A number o f rum ours have been circulating about the proposed developments in the area. I hope that the m eeting w ill allow each homeowner to be better inform ed about the situation.

20 Writing a report Here is an in fo rm al te xt ab ou t a school visit to an alternative energy centre. Select the necessary inform ation and use a fo rm a l tone and register. Delete any unnecessary content. Read it first to get the sense.

The trip to the alternative energy centre, was cool and everyone was like happy, except for K atya, my best friend. The bits o f paper they gave us in these cool talks we went to first got lost. Then we saw films ab o u t w ind power and saving energy and the stuff they gave us there got lost. Loads o f us d id n ’t bring folders or nothing to store all this stuff they kept giving to us and some of it got d ro p p ed on the floor and left around and in the toilets, katya really minded losing hers cos she said th a t the papers w ith all the facts on was really good and we need it for science. K atya m oans at everything. Someone dropped an ice-cream on her skirt and she nearly cried but i told her, we are having a day out and we are missing geography and maths, and can eat sweets on the bus hom e. We went to this amazing gift shop and we all bought lots of cool gifts and stuff. A ll recycled an d dead cheap. I got a necklace made of recycled bottletops for only $2. We cam e b ack on the bus and everyone was laughing and joking cos we had such a good time and learned loads o f stu ff to help us with our work. Everyone was saying we are never gonna waste energy ag ain an d we are gonna be more careful in future which has gotta be good for this planet. A nd I’m definitely gonna have solar panels when I am older. Do you have solar panels? A nd we ju st c a n ’t w ait to get to go again. They told us it is the best in the country. You did a good jo b sending us there! T h an k s a million! Bye for now!
