Dear Student,

The Workbook you are about to start using aims to help you remember

and produce the language you learn in class with your Way Up

Student’s Book. The workbook units go over the grammar and

vocabulary of the Student’s Book units, so that you revisit them in

slightly different and sometimes more challenging contexts. Some

of the exercises are simply the kind of tasks that you will be very

familiar with at this stage of your language learning career. The

purpose is to let you do more work with the new ways of expressing

yourself which you are mastering, so that you can use them easily,

without having to think about it – or almost! You also have new texts

to read or to listen to, and we hope that you will fi nd these interesting

and enjoy working with them on your own.

After each module, you’ll be asked to think back on your learning

experience so that you can build on your strengths and improve any

weaknesses that you’ve spotted. There is an opportunity to let us know

what you think of what you’re doing in the course, and the topics

you’ve been working with. Remember we’re always very happy to hear

from you!

Good luck as you continue on your ‘way up’ to being profi cient

communicators in English!

With our best wishes,

Joanne, Petra and the Rokus Klett team

English, because we 9 (speak) it

my mum. In the summers, we 13 (go)

to Scotland where we 14 (stay) with my

remember we 16 (go) down to the

dock when the fi shermen 17 (just

return) with their catch, and we 18

(buy) a very large salmon from them for dinner. My younger

brother Jed was a keen fi sherman too and he 19 (sit) at the end of the dock with his

line every day, but he 20 (catch) very

much at all, and he certainly never 21

(catch) such a big fi sh as that! We 22

(take) the salmon home to our grandmother that day. She 23 (read) when we got there, but she 24 (put aside) her book and immediately 25 (start) to prepare a wonderful meal.

We 26 (make) a French-style mayonnaise

to go with the fi sh, and we all 27 (have)

a marvellous feast. Those 28 (be) happy

years and the three of us 29 (grow up)

loving both France and Scotland.
