Welcome to the Language Builder!

This Language Builder will give you more practice in the grammar, vocabulary, functions and skills which are in your Students' Book. The Language Builder is divided into two parts: a Workbook and a Grammar Bank.

Workbook

The first part of the Language Builder is the Workbook. This contains practice of the grammar, vocabulary, functions and skills in your Students' Book. Most of the exercises in the Workbook lessons are at two levels of difficulty: easier (*) and more difficult (**). There are also Roundup exercises which practise several language points together. In addition, there is an Extra challenge! exercise (***) in each unit, which gives you the opportunity to do a more challenging activity.

Grammar Bank

The second part of the Language Builder is the Grammar Bank. This contains Grammar Summary pages with examples and notes to help you remember grammar rules. These are followed by Grammar Practice exercises. You can do these exercises as a follow-up to the exercises in the Workbook, or you can use them later to help you revise.

We hope that this Language Builder will help you in your English studies.

Have fun and stay Upbeat!

CD The biggest music festival in Britain is the Glastonbury Festival. It's not just music. There's also dancing, comedy, theatre, circus and cabaret. In 2007, 177,000 people attended the festival. The first festival was in 1971. Now it happens nearly every year in June. In 2007, there were some great new bands like The Killers and The Arctic Monkeys. Some people said that there were too many middle-aged people in the audience in 2007. Rock music isn't only for young people at Glastonbury.

2 - e Cambridge Folk Festival takes place e\el) summer and lasts for three-and-a-half days. It started in 1965. Over 1,400 people went to the first festival, but 14,000 people went to the festival in 2007! Some people complain that a lot of the music isn't folk. You can hear blues, jazz, country and other music from around the world. In 2007, some of the biggest stars were Tounami from Mali, Toots and the Maytalls from Jamaica and Nanci Griffith, a country and folk singer from Texas.

o In 1971, 437 young people entered the first National Festival of Music for Youth in London. Now, 12,000 young people perform every year over six days in July. The festival gives young people, aged 21 or younger, the chance to play music in a friendly atmosphere. It's not just for the best musicians. The festival includes all kinds of music, from classical to pop; from the Northampton School for Boys Orchestra to Billion Babies, a group of 13-to 16-year-olds who play heavy rock music.

Notes

Present continuous Usage • We use the present continuous to talk

about things happening now.

Form • In affirmative sentences, we use the

verb to be (am / is / are) + verb + -ing.

• For the first person singular negative, we add not after 'm / am.

• For all other persons in negative sentences, we add n't (not) to to be.

• In questions, we put the verb to be before the subject.

Common mistakes I am play footbaH. X I playing footbaH. X I am playing football . ./

lie doesn't playing football. X He isn't playing football. ./

I amn't playing football. X I'm not playing football../

You are playing football? X Are you playing football? ./

Spelling rules for -ing forms

• For most verbs, we add -ing. go --+ going

• When a verb ends in -e, we take away the -e, then add -ing. come --+ coming

• When a verb ends in one vowel + consonant, we double the final consonant. sit --+ sitting

• When a verb ends in -ie, the -ie changes to -y. lie --+ lying

Likes and preferences • We use like / love / hate / don't like

+ verb + -ing to talk about likes and dislikes.

• We use prefer to compare two things.

Common mistakes I'm like playing computer games. X I like playing computer games . ./

I fe likes go to the cinema. X He likes going to the cinema . ./

Notes

Comparatives and superlatives Usage • We use comparative adjectives to

compare two people or things.

• We use superlative adjectives to compare a person or a thing with more than two people or things.

Form: comparatives • When an adjective has one or two

syllables, we add -er (than).

• For longer adjectives, we use more (than).

Form: superlatives • When an adjective has one or two

syllables, we add the + -est.

• For longer adjectives, we use the most.

Irregular forms • There are three irregular comparative and

superlative forms. good -+ better -+ the best

bad -+ worse -+ the worst

far -+ farther -+ the farthest

Spelling rules

• For adjectives ending in -e , we add -r or -st.

• For adjectives ending in -y, the -y changes to -i.

• For adjectives ending in one vowel + one consonant, we usually double the final consonant.
