What's on the Workbook recordings? 0j The Workbook recordings contain the Listening exercises and Speaking exercises. Full instructions on what to do are given in the Workbook itself. The Listening exercises usually consist of several tasks and you'll need to listen to the recording more than once. If you're using a cassette player with a counter, make sure you set it to ZERO at the start of each exercise, so that you can easily find the beginning again. The text of these recordings is included in the Transcripts at the back of the book - you should not look at these until AFTER you've tried doing the task and checked your answers in the Answer Key. In the Speaking exercises you'll need to 'talk to the people in the recording', but there's usually no need to record your own voice. If you do want to record your own voice, you'll need to use a blank cassette. The Speaking exercises give practice in using useful functional expressions and they will help you to develop your fluency. How do I use the Workbook and the Answer Key? The Background information sections are designed to give you more information about the theme of the unit. If you don't have much experience of the business world, you should study these sections before the class begins work on the unit. The Vocabulary, Grammar review, Prepositions, Word-building, Listening and Reading exercises are related to the theme of the Student's Book unit, but not directly to any particular section in the unit. The Functions exercises contain follow-up work on language points that are presented in the Student's Book. You'll usually find it easier to do these Workbook exercises after you've done the equivalent sections in the Student's Book.
