Practice is a tailor-made series of six practice books for
primary students learning English as a first language and for junior high students
learning it as a foreign language. The contents closely follow the school syllabus.
Each unit covers a specific grammar point in a clear and relevant way, allowing
the young learner to practise both the use and meaning of the grammar point.
The units follow a familiar pattern of practising at both the sentence and text
levels. This is done through MCQs or choosing the correct word in sentences,
and exercises using cloze texts so that students can focus on the language itself
and not be distracted by varying methods and instructions.
Since each unit deals with a precise grammar item teachers are encouraged to
'dip into' the books at any stage to support the language item being taught in the
classroom. This way, these practice books complement the school English
lessons.
The authors strongly believe that, while the English language is the focus, the
context should be meaningful to the learners. Thus, texts have been chosen :
~~
to be cross-curricular: the texts reinforce and support what is being learnt

in other classes.
~~
to be informative and educational: the texts cover a wide range of topics

of interest to young learners, such as famous people, important places and
events, science and technology, sports, animal life, etc.
~~
to be fun: the texts include especially written stories, traditional folk and
fairy stories , quizzes and dialogues that the students could act out.
~~
to be socially-responsible: the texts include discussions on the

environment and pollution, civic responsibility, etc.
Finally, in the knowledge that teachers are busy people, the series has been
designed to be 'teacher friendly' so it is unambiguous and easy to use.

The lost game

Last weekend my younger brother lent his friend, Tom, a new
computer game called Sky Gazer. lt was mine! My aunt had given it to
me for my birthday. He said he just wanted to show Tom the game
and that he was going to return it. Unfortunately, he left the game at
Tom's house, and Tom lent it to another friend. That friend didn't
return it to Tom. My brother gave me his promise that he would get it
back. I wanted to teach my brother a
lesson. I told him that he owed me a
new game and that he must give his
pocket money to me. So he did.
Then, this morning the postman
arrived with a parcel for me. Inside
was my game and a letter. I showed the letter to my brother. Tom was
sick and couldn't leave the house, so his parents had sent the game
back. I was sorry for Tom but happy to have my game back. And, of
course, my brother was happy when I gave him his pocket money
back!

My aunt had given it to me for my

show Tom ~ame and that he was
going to return it. Unfortunately, he
left tbe,ffil..rne at Tom's house. And
Tom lent it to another friend. That
friend didn't return it to Tom. My
brother gave me b.ls...morn_ise that he
would get it back. I wanted to teach
my brother ~. I told him that
he owed me a..new_g.arne and that he
must give bis_p.QCk_ei_rnQlle_J' to me.
So, he did. Then, this morning the
postman arrived with a parcel for me.
Inside was my game and a letter. I
showed theletler to my brother. Tom
was sick and couldn't leave the
house so his parents had sent ttle
g.arne back. I was sorry for Tom but
happy to have my game back. And,
of course, my brother was happy
when I gave him his-PQCke.LmQney
back!

birthday cards. This year my

me in the card . I pass the cards to

year my parents gave me a new
watch and my big brother bought m_e
a box of paints. I promised to paint
him a picture. Altar that. the family

all ate breakfast.
In the afternoon my friends came
round for tea and I showed 1b.ern my
