What You Will Learn
New Headway Pre-Intermediate: B1.4 OverviewChapter 7: The World of Work
Master the present perfect tense, both active and passive (e.g., "I have worked there for five years," "Two Spanish novelists have been awarded the Nobel Prize"). Learn to differentiate it from the past simple (e.g., "I worked for the BBC"). Enhance your vocabulary with workplace-related phrasal verbs and practice professional phone conversations.
Chapter 8: Just Imagine!
Explore conditionals for real and hypothetical situations: first conditional (e.g., "If I see Anna, I’ll tell her") and second conditional (e.g., "If I had £5 million, I would buy an island"). Use time clauses to describe future plans (e.g., "When we get there, we will give you a call"). Enrich your language with base and strong adjectives and practice making suggestions.
Chapter 9: Relationships
Understand modal verbs for expressing probability: must, might, could, can’t (e.g., "She might be in love," "It can’t be her"). Explore past modal forms (e.g., "She must have been on holiday"). Develop vocabulary with character adjectives and learn to agree politely with "So do I" and "Neither do I."
Chapter 10: Obsessions
Delve into the present perfect continuous tense for ongoing actions (e.g., "I have been texting my friends all day"). Differentiate it from the present perfect simple (e.g., "A teenager has received a £450 phone bill"). Master time expressions like "since" and "for" (e.g., "She has been living in Paris since she got married").
Chapter 11: Tell Me About It!
Learn to form indirect questions for polite inquiries (e.g., "I wonder if you could help me"). Use question tags to confirm information (e.g., "You’ve got a meeting this afternoon, haven’t you?"). Build vocabulary around body-related expressions and informal English for casual conversations.
Chapter 12: Life’s Great Events!
Master reported speech for recounting statements, questions, and commands (e.g., "She said that they were married," "He asked me how I knew them," "I told them to stop making noise"). Learn useful phrases for life milestones like birth, marriage, and death, and practice expressing apologies effectively.
