Introduction
Fast Track to A1 and A2 includes twenty-four worksheets at the A1 level
and twenty-four worksheets at the A2 level of the Common European
Framework of Reference.
These 2-page photocopiable worksheets can be used in class or can

be assigned to students that need extra practice. They may be used,
worksheet-by-worksheet, in order to review the main functions, grammar,
and vocabulary of each level, or individual worksheets can be used for
practice on specific problem areas.
For easy reference, the scope and sequence at the beginning of each level
highlights the language and vocabulary covered on each worksheet.
Each worksheet offers a Learn about Language box that explains the
language point in simple terms, followed by a series of practice activities
designed to consolidate grammar and vocabulary. In this way, students can
work on the material autonomously if necessary. There is a complete answer
key at the back of the book for teacher reference.
We are sure teachers will find Fast Track to A1 and A2 a valuable resource
that gives students and teachers what they need to achieve the best results.

it belongs to. Each species usually belongs to several different food
chains 4) it occupies a certain level in these chains.

make their own food. Consumers cannot make food for themselves.
They consume plants or animals. Predators kill 6) eat

Last weekend
Hi Nadia,
How was your weekend? I was on Vancouver Island on a camping trip
with my family. It was fantastic! The campsite was next to a beautiful
lake.There were lots of activities to do, like swimming, canoeing, and
horseback riding. There were sausages, burgers, and potatoes on the
campfire at night. Unfortunately, my cousin Sal couldn’t eat because
she was sick. We were between the mountains and the beach and it
was very cold at night! I was tired, but I couldn’t sleep because it was
so cold! I’m happy we’re back at home—it is warmer than the tent!
