Now Proficiency Use of English may be used in a number of ways: + Sequentially (i. from Unit 1 to the end in order). + In nonsequential order to supplement grammar practice in the class's main coursebook. * In non-sequential order to provide practice of advanced grammar points which have been identified as causing difficulties by means of the diagnostic test. + In non-sequential order to complement the topic of a coursebook unit and to provide extension and further practice of relevant vocabulary. * By doing the summary sections in sequential order, to provide thorough. step-by-step practice of the skills required for Part 5 of the Use of English paper. Whichever of these methods you use, it is strongly recommended that you work through the Introduction to the new format Paper 3 on pages 6 ~ 19 of the Suudents’ Book with your ‘lass before your students attempt any of the other sections. Grammar Each unit starts with a Grammar overview. This summarises the main points related to the tunit grammar that learners at this level are expected to be familiar with. For easy reference. the information is presented in the form of tables. One way to exploit these would be to ask your students to study the tables at home, and to check any points of difficulty with you at the start of the next lesson. Each unit then presents a number of Advanced grammar points. These are points which commonly cause difficulty at this level and/or which are frequently tested in Cambridge Proficiency Paper 3 questions. Each point consists of one or more Focus questions which are designed to get the students thinking actively and analytically aboot the grammar point. rather than just reading a grammar rule. A brief explanation of the structure and usage of each point follows the Focus activity. You may want to ask your students to cover this explanation with a piece of paper while they do the Focus activity. The Focus questions for each Advanced grammar point have answers in the key. A variety of Practice exercises follow the Advanced grammar points. Those which come carlier in the grammar section practise only the items presented in the Advanced grammar points. The later Practices may also include items from the Grammar overview. In the ‘grammar section of each unit there is at least one Practice exercise in the stvle of Proficiency Paper 3 Part 1 and/or Part 4. Each Practice activity has answers in the Key. Some units also contain activities entitled Use your English. These are designed to encourage freer practice of grammar points that have been studied. These sections do not have answers in the key. (EEFOHGTSNEY WES GE nga Teacher's Book Vocabulary ‘These sections have been specially designed (o reflect the stronger emphasis on vocabulary and word grammar in the new format Cambridge Proficiency exam. The vocabulary items and word grammar which are presented and practised in these sections relate to the overall theme of each unit and thus do not follow exactly the same pattern in every unit. However, every unit contains a word formation task in the style of Proficiency Paper 3, Part 2 and a ‘gapped sentences task in the style of Proficiency Paper 3, Part 3. The vocabulary sections in Some units also contain tasks in the style of Proficiency Paper 3, Part 1 and/or Part 4. Special features Phrasal verbs and idioms are presented in the context of texts or sentences which relate 10 the unit theme. This makes it easier for the students to learn how they actually function in sentences and to deduce their meaning from the context. Practice of these phrasal verbs is also contextualised within the theme, Alphabetical lists of idioms and phrasal verbs appear in the appendices in the Students’ Book. Several activities recommend using dictionaries in lass. At Proficiency level, bilingual dictionaries or companions are not a sufficient guide to the sublleties of meaning or usage ‘which need to be understood and handled by students. Therefor, itis recommended that you have sulficfent copies of advanced level English-English dictionaries, such as the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, for students to consult while working together in pairs or small groups. By looking up new words and alternative meanings, students take an active part in expanding their own vocabulary and are moze likely (o remember new items than if they were translated for them. In addition, several activities in the vocabulary section invite students to add their own ideas and examples to those offered in the book. Again, this encourages an active role in their own learning process and helps to build the learners’ confidence. Possible answers to these activities are suggested in the answer key. Study tips in this section offer ideas for recording and remembering new vocabulary. Its, recommended that you read through these tips in class and invite comments and further examples, where appropriate, from the students. You may also want to check Inter if students are using any of the strategies that have been suggested in earlier units and to discuss which they have found helpful. ‘The vocabulary section also contains Use your English a ‘These are word games, pairwork activities or discussion activities which are designed to offer freer practice of vocabulary and word grammar.’These activities do not have answers in the key. Summary Units 1 to 4 focus in detail on how to answer questions 40 to 43. Units 5 and 6 focus in detail on how to identify the four content points to be included i the summary, Unit 7 focuses on how to rephrase the content points in your own words. Unit 10 deals with paraphrasing the first draft of a summary. Units 8, 9, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 offer practice of complete Part 5 tasks (Questions 40 — 44) with varying levels of help and guidance, In addition, Practice tests 1 - 5 contain complete Part 5 tasks (Questions 40 0 44) with some tips. Before doing any of the Summary sections, itis strongly reeommended that you work through the introduction to the new format summary task on pages 14 ~ 19 of the Students’ Book with your class. For some units, Information boxes including background information about the topic are provided in the key.

Note: Answers to questions 40 ~ 43 are provided in the key. For question 44, the four content points are listed, but model summaries are not provided as it is not possible to anticipate the range of appropriate answers that may be given. Summary: marking First, allocate one matk for each content point which has been comectly identified. There is @ maximum number of ten marks available for the summary writing task itself. “To qualify for high marks (between eight and ten) the summary: ‘+ must be within the limit of 50-70 words. + must not include sections copied word-for-word from the original texts. + should be logically organised with appropriate use of connecting phrases. + should be grammatically accurate and correctly spelt. If the summary fulfils none ofthe criteria listed above, allocate marks between zero and two. Allocate marks for average summaries between three and seven, depending on how well the criteria above have been fulfilled.

In the production ofthe tn most commanly farmed fish, roughly 2kg of wild fish foed ate required for every kilogram offre fish produced. This means that athe moment fish feed ts further draining wild fish stocks, without even producing an equivalent mass of farmed fish. (1) tis not only through changes in food chain interactions that aquaculture depletes wild fish stocks, but also by spreading diseases from farmed 10 wild fish. (2) 1's difficult to persuade farmed fish to keep tw thelr pens, as is shown by the fact chat nearly half of the salmon aught by North Addinic fishermen are of farmed origin. A further worry is that farmed fish may spawn with wild fish and dilute the genetic makeup of their offspring, making them less well-adapted to their environment than their wild parents. (3) Text2 Perhaps the cruelest irony ofthe growth in fish farming is that it has come close to driving Wild fish, the very creatures it was designed t save, othe brink of extinction. Inthe past 10 yeas. wild salmon stocks have declined to all-time lows, and inthe north-west Highland, conte ofthe Scotish aquaculture industry. stocks have been devastated. The ‘cause is infestations of sea lice caused by the proximity of farmed salmon, (2) These are kept in cages, usually situated at the mouths of lakes which open onto the sex. The cages ar vast, but the fish are packed in ght with upto 250.000 of them batting for survival in each one. At these densities. the fish are at the mercy of disease and parasites are rife. (2) Although sea lice area naturally ‘cursing parasite foun in wid fist anda ealehy adult fish would sormally- cary five or sx, in the wild fisheries close tothe fish farms, salmen an sea trout have been feund with ‘up t0 300 lice on them. The solution forthe farmed fish isthe use of vaccinations and toxic pesticides. As their cages are open to the ‘environment, these chemicals seep into the surrounding water and can damage the habitats around the cages. (4) The intensive feeding regimes also cerry a heavy cost. In many farms, the fish are fed automatically, and much of the feed drops straight through the cages to gather on the bottom of the lake along with the ammonium-rich salmon excreta. (4) It is estimated that a 1,000-tonne salmon fara = small by current industry standards — produces sewage waste equivalent to a town of 20,000 people. The resulting mix disturbs the chemical Balance of delicate marine habitats. (4) Content points + More fish are consumed on fish farms than are produced, so wild stocks are depleted.

(2) comets are aggregates of ie and dust which are weakly held together so that when they hit the atmosphere they start breaking up. As they get further down the pressure increases and they break up even fster, resulting in an explosion with a brilliant lash and scorching heat. A blast like that over a densely- populated area would kill 1.5 million people. (3) Tet 2 The press and Hollywood often focus on the impact ofa large asteroid, say 1 km in diameter, which would wipe out life within proximity ofthe impact site. (1) More seriously, it would affect the whole world in indirect ways. The dust and/or vapour cloud created by an impact to either the land or the ocean could be big enough to create a ‘auclear winter’, like a mini-ice age, and disrupt climate patterns, adversely aecting major food:growing regions of the world and straining world food supplies. 2) Profconcy Uso of Bagh MaSSS ETN (Of much greater concern should be asteroids in the 30 to 200 metre range, which are far greater in number.

That's avery small asteroid which we ‘coulda’ see from telescopes until i's right above Earth ~ when it's much too late todo anything bur duck for cover. However, as seventy per cent of the Earth is covered by oceans, an ocean impact is more likely and would also ‘be much more damaging. An asterold hitting land causes mainly localised damage.
