Who is Real Writing 1 for?
You can use this book if you are a student at elementary level and you want to improve your English writing. You can use the book alone without a teacher or you can use it in a classroom with a teacher.
How will Real Writing 1 help me with my writing?
Real Writing I contains everyday writing practice, for example, writing emails and letters and filling in forms. It is designed to help you with writing you will need to do when visiting or living in an English-speaking country.
The exercises in each unit help you develop useful skills such as planning, thinking about the reader and checking your work. It is designed to help you with writing you will need to do when communicating in English at home or when visiting another country.
How is Real Writing 1 organised?
The book has 16 units and is divided into two sections:
○ Units 1-9 - social and travel situations
○ Units 10-16 - work and study situations
Every unit has:
○ Get ready to write: to introduce you to the topic of the unit
○ Learning tip: to help you improve your learning
○ Extra practice: an extra exercise for more practice
○ Can-do checklist: to help you think about what you learnt in the unit
Most units also have:
○ Did you know?: extra information about vocabulary, different cultures or the topic of the unit
○ Focus on: to help you study useful grammar or vocabulary
○ Class bonus: an exercise you can do with other students or friends
After each section there is a review unit. The reviews help you practise the skills you learn in each section.
At the back of the book you can find:
○ Appendices: contain lists of Useful language for every unit and more ideas about how to improve your writing
○ Audioscript: includes everything that you can hear on the MP3 and gives information about the nationalities of the speakers.
○ Answer key: (only in the with answers edition) gives correct answers and possible answers for exercises that have more than one answer.
How can I use Real Writing 1?
The units at the end of the book are more difficult than the units at the beginning of the book. However, you do not need to do the units in order. It is better to choose the units that are most interesting for you and to do them in the order you prefer.
There are many different ways you can use this book. We suggest you work in this way:
○ Look in the Contents list and find a unit that interests you.
○ Go to Appendix 1: Useful language and look at the wordlist for the unit you want to do. You can use a dictionary to help you understand the words.
○ Or look at Appendix 2: What can I improve? and find a unit that is useful for you.
○ Do the Get ready to write section at the start of the unit. This will help you think about the topic of the unit.
○ Do the other exercises in the unit in order. At the end of each exercise check your answers with your teacher or in the Answer key.
○ Try to do the listening exercises without looking at the Audioscript. You can read the Audioscript after you finish the exercises.
○ If your answers are wrong, study the section again to see where you made mistakes.
○ After you finish the Write exercise use the Check checklist to correct your writing. You can also use Appendix 3: Check your writing and Appendix 4: Check your mistakes to check your writing.
○ If you want to do more work on this topic, do the Extra practice activity.
○ At the end of the unit, think about what you learnt and complete the Can-do checklist.
○ Go to Appendix 1 and look at the Useful language for the unit again.
