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 3
course. 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 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!

That was Allegra Pizzicato and I am Ray Tone - and we have two shows we want to tell

Allegra: Well the first show, Never on Monday which opened this week, is one that I strongly do
not recommend. The music is intolerably loud and the singers are extremely untalented. I
have to say I was very disappointed because the musical is directed by Noel Hill, the
same person who directed the successful The Astonished Genius. In my view, Never on
Monday should never be seen on any day!
Ray:
Well Allegra, you seem pretty certain about not recommending that show! Unfortunately,
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
season this weekend. Im afraid ticket holders will have to hang on to their tickets till the
musical is rescheduled. I imagine there are going to be a lot of disappointed fans hearing
that announcement.

Hello Sophie. I forgot to tell you but I went to Wongs Chinese restaurant the night it opened. The
food was fabulous. I hardly skipped anything except the corn soup, which I hate, and the roast
beef and the spicy veal which are not my favorites. The wonton soup was delicious and so were
the egg rolls, Chinese chicken wings, the noodles, rice, sweet and sour chicken and the sesame
chicken. For desert I had the fried bananas. Well maybe I did miss out on some things! Im ready to
go there again when you are! Bye!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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!

PROBLEMS AT WORK
News
If five hundred laborers and technicians at Solid Steel Corporation walk out of their
jobs tomorrow as planned, then the company will no doubt have to close down.
Solid Steel is the largest steel plant in our region, and its products are famous
throughout the world. The workers, whose wages have not been increased since
the plant opened five years ago, could have called another strike. Under the
circumstances, however, theyve decided to quit. Industrial experts were called in
last week to help management handle the situation, but apparently it is too late now
to save the plant. Mr. David Warren, chief warehouse clerk at the plant, said that the
workers would neither accept incentives to go back to work, nor continue with
negotiations. Another worker, Mr. John Kaplan, said, If they hadnt made so many
empty promises in the past, then none of this would have happened. Either the
general manager takes our threats seriously, or Solid Steel closes tomorrow. And
now, tomorrows weather...
Fifty Days and Counting

The workers at Flemming Steel, who went on strike fifty days ago, are still striking. The walkout
began when Chuck Roste, Chief Executive Officer, announced a cut in wages. The plants
employees had already agreed to a temporary decrease in wages to help keep the plant open
during its financial difficulties. However, when a proposal for additional cuts was made, the workers
objected, and many threatened to quit.
Flemming Steel has been trying to handle this problem for the past several years. At one point,
there was even talk of closing down the plant. Employees were faced with a choice of either losing
their jobs or accepting wage cuts. Chuck Roste explains: Foreign competition has nearly shut us
down. We couldnt have predicted the effect of this competition. Under the circumstances, there
just wasnt any other choice but to lower salaries.
Appendix
79
INTERMEDIATE 3
Hank Wiskowski, who represents the employees, disagrees: The management should have seen
how the industry was changing. If they had been more aware of the strength of the competition, we
would all be in the plant now, working.
So far negotiations have been unproductive. The two sides agree on one thing, though. Neither
Flemming Steel nor the strikers want the plant to close down. As one strikers wife says, If it
werent for the plant, many people in this region wouldnt be able to make a living. If it werent for
the loyalty of the workers until now, the plant would not have survived as long as it has. It seems
that Flemming will either have to find a solution to its problems or close its doors for good.

with the homeless, and in many cases they are either capable people who have had
some bad luck, or senior citizens who don't have enough money to pay the rent. If the
establishment had taken steps to help these people, the situation would be different
today. We wouldn't have young people with children, and elderly people living on the
streets. The homeless are really no different from you and me. They just don't have
enough money to pay rent...
Host:
I'm sorry, but I have to interrupt you, Marilyn. We have to end the program now. Thank
you for calling, and thank you all for listening. Have a good week, and join us again
next Tuesday evening for Point of View.

INTERMEDIATE 3
Does Homeless Mean Helpless?

One of the most controversial issues in today's society is that of the homeless. At present,
thousands of youngsters and elderly people live their lives on the streets, and the situation is not
improving. Indeed, it is expected that by the year 2000, ten percent of the country will be living on
the streets. Some people believe that if the government had taken more steps to help the homeless,
perhaps by providing low-rent housing, then there would not be such a problem today.
Mrs. Flory Jacks, a senior citizen who is living at Waverly Retirement Home, gave her point of view.
Our government should have done something about this problem years ago. In my opinion, no
positive steps have been taken to offer these people an alternative life. Mr. Willy Burns, whose life
for the last nine years has been spent on the streets, is not so negative. I can't help wondering why
people want to help me. If I had wanted to make it in the city, I could have. I chose not to. I am not
capable of living like other citizens. I prefer to depend only on myself.
However, this is not the attitude in every case. Fourteen-year-old Kevin didn't have any good
comments to make about his life. I came from a home where there was a lot of violence. After a
while, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I left. Since then, I've been on my own. I guess I could've
either gone to some government place or back home, but it wouldn't have made any difference.
Wherever I went, I'd still feel like I didn't belong.
Do You Need Help?

- Ma'am, do you need help lifting your stroller onto the bus?
- No. I'm fine, but thanks, anyway.
- Then at least let me help you carry those bags.
- No, thanks. I can really manage by myself.
- Please. I enjoy helping people.
- Well, OK, young man. You can lift those heavy bags for me.

Doctor
Mom:
Chad came by to see how you were.
Lully:
Chad? He only just saw me three hours ago. What did he think was going to happen to
me in three hours?
Mom:
Oh, he's a conscientious doctor, isn't he?
Lully:
Yes, he is. He's just a fine doctor and not a bad-looking one either.
Mom:
Oh, he's all right.
Lully:
Do you know if he's coming to Helena's party tomorrow night?
Mom:
Oh yes, he said...oh never mind.
Lully:
What, Mama?
Mom:
Nah, he's just teasing me.
Lully:
What did he say?
Mom:
Well, he just said he'll go if I go. He was just joking, of course.
Lully:
What?! So, good old doctor Chadwick's in love with my mother!
Mom:
Shhh, Lully, lower your voice. He's not. He's just...
Lully:
Flirting with you, that's what.
Mom:
Don't make fun, Lully.
Lully:
Oh, Mama, I wouldn't make fun of you about something like this. You deserve to have
some love in your life.
Mom:
I wouldn't go so far as to call it love.
Lully:
Call it whatever you want, Mama, but enjoy it.

After a Heart Attack

Absolutely no smoking!
Drink only small quantities of alcohol and limit it to wine.
Eat sensibly. Try to eat nutritious food which is neither fatty nor salty. Stay away from fried food.
Concentrate on eating fresh fruit and vegetables, and whole-grain bread. Eat just a small amount of
either grilled fish or chicken.
Weigh yourself weekly. Remember: being overweight may have caused your condition.
Try to keep in shape. Exercise three or four times a week. Keeping fit will strengthen your heart. This
will help prevent another attack.
Can I Help?
-
Can I give you some help?
Sure, if it's no trouble.
How many pounds are you lifting?
I'm trying to lift a hundred pounds.
But you've only got eighty pounds.
Oh! I must have made a mistake.
Do you want me to put the other weights on the bar for you?
Yes, please, if you wouldn't mind.

GOING OUT
Music
Allegra:
Welcome to Sound Sense, the program that tells you what's worthwhile listening to
around town. I'm Allegra Pizzicato.
Ray:
And I'm Ray Tone.
Allegra:
OK, Ray. Which upcoming musical event tops your list of recommendations today?
Ray:
Well, Allegra, I'd say it would have to be the hilarious hit, Musical Disturbance, which
is here on tour from January 7th. You should have been there opening night! There was
actually cheering in the theater. This musical comedy is sure to become a classic. And
not only that, but it's also making lots of money. I'd say you must see it.
Allegra:
Well, I don't agree with you, Ray. If there is only one show that you can see, it has to
be the dramatic opera, The Astonished Genius, an outstanding production, featuring
very talented singers. If the applause is any sign, this will be the hit of the year.
Ray:
Well, I've never even heard of the singers in that show, and I think if you've only got
one night out, you should play it safe.
Allegra:
Well, there you have our choices. Remember, whenever there's a musical event,
Sound Sense will be there checking it out for our listeners. We'll be back next week
at the same time. See you then.

Get Ready for a Hot Date

Take either a bath or a shower two hours before your date.
If you want to polish your nails, do so now. Choose a nail color that expresses your personality.
Let dry.
Plug in iron and wait for it to heat. In the meantime, choose clothes for the evening. Iron clothes.
Put on makeup (if you wear it). Tell yourself you are beautiful at least ten times.
Wait for your date, or leave in time to meet him.
Here are two last things to remember: If it's a blind date, don't go alone.
If he turns out to be a nightmare date, don't give up hope. There are always plenty more fish
in the sea!
Lunch
-
Wow! That lunch was delicious.
Yes. it was. Im full.
Well, Ive got to get back to work.

Hmm. Either they marked it wrong, or the material isn't very good.

RESTAURANT REVIEWS
Family
Hello, Johnny. It's Sophie. You really should have come with us last night. We went to that Chinese
restaurant where Carmen's used to be. The food was fabulous; I never knew I had such a big
appetite. It was a buffet and we ate as much as we wanted. To start off with, I had a bowl of corn
soup, although I probably could have skipped it. Instead of having just one main dish, I tried
everything. My favorites were the Chinese roast beef, shrimp with vegetables, and sweet and sour
chicken. Everything was delicious. You must come with us next time.
A Seafood and Steak Surprise

"Are you sure I look OK?" asked Raoul hesitantly.
"You look fine, Raoul!" said Steve, Raoul's roommate. You should have left already. You don't
want to be late for your first date with Marcy!"
"I'm leaving, I'm leaving! See you later," said Raoul.
"Hope you have a good time."
"I hope so, too," answered Raoul nervously.
They'd decided to go out for dinner. The restaurant they were going to was called Sam's
Seafood and Steak House and was one of a chain of new restaurants. Although neither Raoul
nor Marcy had ever been there before, they'd heard that the restaurant was having a half-price
student special.
"I hope you have an appetite tonight," Raoul told Marcy in the car. "I've heard that this restaurant
has a huge seafood buffet and an All-You-Can-Eat Shrimp Special."
"Sounds great!" said Marcy. "I'm starving!"
When they arrived at the restaurant, it was crowded and very noisy.
"I guess we should have made a reservation," said Raoul.

After waiting almost an hour, they finally got a table. Unfortunately, it was in the smoking section.
Not only that, but the tablecloth and silverware didn't look very clean. Finally, the waiter came to
take their order.
"I'll have the roast beef, well done, and corn on the cob," said Marcy.
"And I'll have the All-You-Can-Eat Shrimp Special" said Raoul.
"Something to drink?" asked the waiter.
"Two mineral waters," said Raoul.
After a very long wait, their dinner arrived. "This roast beef is awfully rare," said Marcy.
"And these shrimp have a strange, bitter flavor," complained Raoul. "Let's ask the waiter for our
check."
On the way home, both Raoul and Marcy had stomachaches.
"It must have been that roast beef," said Marcy.
"And those awful shrimp!" cried Raoul. "If we had just gone out for a pizza, we would have
enjoyed ourselves so much more!"
The next day, Raoul saw a review of Sam's Seafood and Steak House in the college newspaper.
It said, "We do not have a single compliment for this terrible restaurant! Whatever you do, don't
go to Sam's Seafood and Steak House!"
"Now they tell us!" cried Raoul, holding his stomach.
Recommendations
-
Is the food good here?
I believe so. Betsy and Paul eat here all the time.
In that case, I'm certain the food is horrible.
What do you mean?
Have you forgotten? Their recommendations are always terrible.
I suppose you're right. We'd better go somewhere else.

Soap Opera
Narrator:
And now, for the final episode of A Stranger from the Past.
Angel:
I should never have come! Perhaps I should have tried to call first. Maybe it's not a
convenient time. What should I say? How should I act? Do I shake her hand? Kiss her
on the cheek? Embrace her affectionately? Do I . . .
Veronica:
Hello, who are you? You look awfully familiar, but . . . no, it can't be possible.
Angel:
Oh, Veronica! Don't you recognize me? It's me, Angel, your long lost twin sister! We
were separated when we were kids. We were only five years old. Try! Try to remember!
Veronica:
Wait. Yes! Yes! It's all coming back to me now! I remember how our parents died in the
accident. Then mother's Aunt Alice and Uncle Harold, who didn't want to take care of
us, separated us. They sent me to Boston, and they told me you were lost forever! Oh,
Angel, how could I have trusted them?
Angel:
Veronica, I have been dreaming of this moment for so many years! Just looking at you,
I can tell we have so much in common. Our taste in clothes and music, why, even our
personalities are probably similar. Who is your favorite musician? I like Mick Starlight!
Veronica:
I do, too! I'm crazy about him! Oh, Angel, if only we hadn't been separated, we could
have been together all these years!
Angel:
At least now we'll have the rest of our lives to get to know each other again.
Veronica:
Oh, yes. We have so much to catch up on!
Narrator:
And that was the final episode of A Stranger from the Past.

The Day I Met Mick

I'll never forget the day I met Mick Starlight. It began like a nightmare; everything went wrong. First,
my alarm clock didn't ring. I must have forgotten to plug it in. I woke up late, and I can't stand being
late! Then I took a shower and of course, there was no hot water! I quickly got dressed, and ran out
of the house without breakfast, still wanting to make it in time for class.
On my way to the university, I must have been driving too fast. A policeman signaled to me to stop.
I was nervous, but when he came over, he smiled. He was really cute! Then I realized that I must
have looked a mess. Not only hadn't I had time to put on any makeup, but I also hadn't ironed my
shirt or dried my hair. I could have died of embarrassment. However, I smiled back at him, anyway.
Was I driving too fast, officer? I asked.
I'm afraid so, he answered.
I didn't know what to do then, so I just told him I was sorry. Luckily, he was very nice, and only gave
me a warning. I soon reached the intersection where I had to turn. Looking up, I saw a beautiful
sports car coming up behind me. As I got to the corner, the light turned red. I stopped, but the
sports car didn't, and went right into me! I couldn't believe it! How could he have been so stupid,
whoever he was?! Fortunately, I was fine, but my car wasn't. I stepped out of the car and was
preparing to shout, when I saw the driver of the sports car. It was Mick Starlight! He felt so bad
about my car that he not only paid for the repairs, but he also gave me tickets to his next concert!
And of course, I never did make it to class.
Nice Meeting You

-
I have to go. I have a meeting.
Bye, Dan. It was nice to have met you.
It was nice meeting you, too. Take it easy.
I hope we see each other again soon.
Me, too. By the way, I wonder if you could take care of the check.
Wait! Dan! Just a minute.
