CRACK THE CODE is a two-level series for students in Upper Intermediate classes.
CRACK THE CODE I introduces students to exam items of B1 level, and builds up their skills
towards the B2 level examination, regardless of whether the candidate sits for the Michigan or
Cambridge exam, with exam preparation practice in all parts of the examinations (Reading -
Grammar - Speaking - Writing - Listening) while CRACK THE CODE II mainly focuses on B2
level.Key features of the book include:
• At-a glance grammar and syntax: Students are tested in both MCQ and transformation
format, enabling them to build a thorough grammar basis for the Michigan or Cambridge
examinations. • All three types of Reading Comprehension: The two reading texts in each unit are given
in exam-style in ECCE and FCE format, interchangeably. Students are exposed to all 3 types
of reading comprehension, including MCQ type, gap filling and matching statements to text.
Hence, students are taught to read for detail, opinion, main idea, structure of the text and
finally read for specific information and details.
• Thorough Vocabulary expansion: Each text is followed by letter-numbered exercises of
confusing/related words, derivatives, phrasal verbs, verb expressions, prepositional
expressions and special vocabulary.
Each unit is followed by a whole Vocabulary Review page to ensure that students have
thoroughly learnt the Vocabulary in each Unit.
• BCCE/ECCE-based speaking and writing themes: Students become familiar with the
format in odd-numbered Units. They have the opportunity to speak and write about a variety
of topics prompted by personal questions and language banks.
• PET/FCE-based speaking and writing themes: Students become familiar with the format
of Cambridge examinations and are guided to tackle the upcoming writing task of the FCE
exam while at the same time practicing the note-style PET writing task.
• Teaching prioritizing skills: The pyramid-based exercise taught in each unit helps
students to choose what they will actually talk or write about. The prompts given guide them
to produce, to prioritize and elaborate on the topic.
• ECCE-type listening tasks: Parts 1 and 2 of the listening tasks follow the ECCE format,
given in a shorter version than the actual examination.
• FCE-type listening tasks: Parts 1 and 2 of the listening tasks are based on the FCE
examination.
CRACK THE CODE I is accompanied by WORKBOOK I, where there is
practice for every section of the vocabulary and grammar found in the
Coursebook. CRACK THE CODE I is also accompanied by a COMPANION, which serves as
a useful vocabulary aid for students, organized in sections and pages of the
book for faster reference.
CRACK THE CODE I REVISION TESTS are also available.

the acrobatics of the dolphins. Now, for the first time, in the Dolphin
Harbor Show they can actually help train these intelligent creatures.

good health, and there is an informative slide show telling us all about
dolphin life. And don’t forget to watch the Dolphin Water Polo match!

creatures swimming slowly through the pool or sunbathing on their
rocky home. Found in South America, these flightless birds are sure
to entertain.SHOUKA SPLASHTIME New this season is the Shouka Splashtime

suddenly jumps high in the air and lands with a huge splash, soaking
everyone who is watching. Children love it! There is also a small
museum where guests can learn all about killer whales. Six Flags
Marine World is situated in Vallejo, California, off Interstate 80, just 30
miles northeast of San Francisco, 50 miles southwest of Sacramento.

❱ Unit 8 / Lesson 2
A. CAPYBARA: While the capybara is a rodent, it is nothing like a guinea pig or hamster. The capybara grows up to 4 feet long and usually weighs more than a hundred pounds. In some areas, capybaras are illegal to keep as pets, so make sure that there’s no animal protection law where you live. Capybaras' care and food cost a lot and they need plenty of room and preferably a pond or pool. B. HEDGEHOG: Despite having spikes, hedgehogs are incredibly friendly and they can become extremely affectionate with their owners. Hedgehogs make perfect pets since they’re calm and low maintenance, however, they require lots of attention, especially when they’re babies. Before you buy a hedgehog, make sure you check the legislation in your area. Also, bear in mind that hedgehogs are nocturnal, so if you are not a night owl, you’d better choose another pet.
C. MINI DONKEY: The miniature donkey is cute and fuzzy, but if you decide to own this unusual pet, be ready to buy a pair of miniature donkeys. The thing is, mini donkeys like company and they can’t stand loneliness. Although miniature donkeys are small, they still need plenty of room. They are usually at least 3 feet tall and can weigh over 300 lbs. Miniature donkeys are great with children and they pose no threat to them. D. FENNEC FOX: Although most foxes usually misbehave as pets, the Fennec fox is an excellent pet to own. This cute desert animal tends to be small (they are smaller than cats) and smart. You can even housetrain your Fennec fox to use a litter box. The Fennec fox is playful, requires a lot of exercise and is not dangerous. When fully grown, your Fennec fox will be about the weight and size of a Chihuahua. They like to dig holes, so make sure they don't get out of your garden!
