前言

　　I consider myself very lucky and privileged to be given the opportunity to read the manuscripts ofActive English Learners Workbook series for Band 1 before they are out for general public. Atthe series editors cordial request， I venture to make the following observations.As the title of the series betrays its substance， the series are workbooks， viz. books for learnersto work on. Books of such kind cannot be more timely！ The more work you do with English andin English， the more English you learn！ This means time and energy. Some may be put off bythis fact， for time and energy are exactly what they are always running out of supply. ""We haveso many other things to do， " they will say. "Theres little time and energy left for English. Tellus the quickest way！" Nowadays there seems to be a general rush for English， and at the sametime an anxious rush for a short-cut route to mastering English. Unfortunately， to the best of myknowledge， there is no such thing as a short-cut way to English. There are only better or poorerways of learning it. The best way to learn is to use it， to work on it.Some of our teachers may also be put off by the Workbook series， for a totally different reason.They find that if students possess too much information， particularly feedback on exercises， theywill have nothing left to offer in class， thus de-authorising their status as a knowledgeableteacher. I have been a teacher for 21 years now. I dont find the students possession of sufficientinformation disadvantageous to me. If my students can learn more things without my help， Icannot be happier. If they can study Active English textbooks all by themselves， this will save alot of class time， which I can use to organise more productive activities such as group work， pair work， panel discussion， inter-group debating， and so on. Furthermore， teacher-led learning tends to foster teacher-dependency， which is far from being desirable. Perhaps it is the greatest reward to a teacher whose students are taught to overtake him/her. The Workbook series will make a positive contribution to the promotion of autonomous learning. As the class size nowadays is getting increasingly large， so large that it is almost impossible for students to get individual attention from the teacher， autonomous learning can no long be dealt with in a lip-service way. Teachers and administrators have to take resolute measures to implement it in order to secure the educational quality which would otherwise deteriorate as a result. The series have some built-in features that are specifically designed for the purpose. I feel confident that both students and teachers will find the series helpful and worth having.

章節(jié)摘錄

　　Then， we focused our attention on sports， especially on football and American football. As youknow， football is a confusing word in English. It means different things in Britain and the UnitedStates. If you are still not very clear about the differences between them， you can go to task 3 andtask 5 for useful information. The listening texts in these two tasks will tell you a lot about howAmerican football differs from soccer.Since this is the last unit of this workbook， its time for you to review not only this unit but thewhole book as well. Over the term， you have learned a number of useful functions of spokenEnglish such as greetings， invitations， expressing thanks， and saying goodbye. Please try to usethem in your real life outside the classroom. In listening tasks， youve also learned some essentiallistening skills such as：how to determine the meaning of a new word in context，how to recognize certain features （eg. weak forms， reduction， liaison， incomplete plosive） of spoken English，how to recognize main ideas and important details，how to make use of your background knowledge to understand the listening materials， and how to draw a reasonable conclusion or inference based on the given facts.I hope you will be fully aware of the importance of these skills and use them in your listeningpractice.Before coming to the end of the book， I urge you to ask yourself a few questions.　　Are you satisfied with your own performance when dealing with both speaking and listening tasks in the book throughout the term？　　Are you familiar with the interactive approach developed in this course？　　Can you use what youve learnt to deal with such real-life situations as greetings， sell-introductions， and complaining？　　Are you able to get main ideas and important details from the listening materials？　　What progress have you made after finishing the course？ Moreover， at the end of your textbook——Interactive English， the authors have also prepared for you a detailed "Self-assessment check list" and a "Personal improvement plan". Now please complete the list and think about your own improvement plan， or discuss them with your partner. If you score low on your self-assessment， please go back to the related tasks in the book， and do more listening and speaking practice. Even if you have done well， I still wish you would spend some time going over what youve learnt over the term.
