Cuvânt-înainte.

Manualul de faţă constituie un instrument proiectat cu scopul de a motiva elevii în procesul de învăţare a limbii engleze. El include 14 unităţi de învățare şi furnizează o pregătire sistematică pentru dobândirea tuturor competenţelor lingvistice necesare comunicării orale şi în scris în limba engleză.

Manualul tipărit este însoţit de manualul digital care completează şi îmbogăţeşte conţinuturile, furnizând filme, materiale audio, imagini mărite ale unor hărţi, scheme, tabele şi imagini precum şi o întreagă gamă de exerciţii interactive care au scopul de a-l ajuta pe elev să își autoevalueze progresul.

Rubricile permanente conferă manualului coerenţă şi coeziune. Fiecare unitate se termină cu un proiect (individual sau de grup). Evaluarea se realizează în mai multe etape: la finalul fiecărei unităţi (unde există un test de autoevaluare, cu cheia răspunsurilor la pagina 128, care poate fi folosit însă și ca text de evaluare propriu-zisă), după fiecare patru unităţi de învățare (un test de evaluare, urmat de exerciții de ascultare și de exprimare orală și scrisă) și în testele de evaluare și exercițiile recapitulărilor semestriale şi ale celei finale, plasate la sfârşitul manualului, deoarece structura anului școlar poate suferi modificări în decursul timpului.

La sfârșitul manualului au fost prezentate modele de proiecte complexe: fișa unui proiect interdisciplinar, fișa unui proiect interdisciplinar realizat pe baza unor filme documentare, precum și schița de organizare a unei vizite didactice.

Profesorii au libertatea să aleagă momentul când le vor folosi.

Autoarele.

Foreword.

This textbook is designed to motivate and involve learners in effective learning of English. There are 14 units that provide systematic preparation for all skills required for successful oral and written communication. Each unit ends with a project and a self-check test (that can be used as an evaluation test). The printed textbook is accompanied by the digital textbook which completes and enriches the contents, providing films, listening materials, maps, charts, tables and pictures as well as a wide range of interactive exercises meant to assess the learners’ progress.

Assessment is achieved along different stages: at the end of each unit (self-check test with answers at the end of the textbook that can also be used as an evaluation test), after each four units (evaluation test and different listening, speaking and writing exercises), followed by two revisions and a final revision (at the end of the book, since the school year structure may undergo several modifications). There are worksheets for two interdisciplinary projects and one for an educational trip at the end of the book, so the teachers may decide when to use them. Moreover, there are three pages of grammar at the end of the book.

ŸThe Cat’s Diary.
Day 300 of my captivity.
My captors continue to torture me with all kind of objects, like mice toys or colourful feathers (1). For some reason, they think I enjoy them, but they are wrong. They also feed me dry food. I don’t like it but I have to eat it because I have to keep up my strength. The only thing I have in mind is my dream of escape (2). I have a plan to destroy my tormentors. Every day I weave around their feet as they walk and it usually trips them. The other prisoners here receive special privileges.
The dog is regularly released and seems to be happy to return. He is obviously stupid. The parrot is a spy (3). He often communicates with the guards and I am convinced he reports my every move. He lives in a cage and he is safe. For now.

Work in pairs. Choose two different animals. Find as many
similarities and differences between them as you can.
Think of the food they eat, their habitat, size and other
characteristics. Fill in the following chart into your notebooks.
Contrasts in our world.
Death Valley.
Death Valley is one of our planet’s hottest areas, but the place
with the record for the highest temperature is El Aziziya in Libya.
There, the temperature reached a record of 57.8 C in 1922.
Death Valley’s highest temperature on record is 56.7 C. That's not
a lot cooler!
Antarctica.
Antarctica is the most fascinating place for extreme weather.
People cannot live in Antarctica all year round because it’s too
cold (–89.4 C)! It’s also the wettest place on Earth because 98% of
Antarctica is covered with ice. But it’s also the driest place
because it never rains there – it only snows!
Antarctica holds another record too – you can find the world’s
thickest ice there: it’s 2,555 meters deep!
Venetian lagoon, Italy.
Nice, France. Cancun, Mexico.
So where is the best place in the world for weather? That’s a
difficult question. In 2012 an organization named “International
Living” tried to answer this – their number 1 for the best weather
was Italy, their number 2 was France and Mexico was number 3! Where
do you think Romania would come?

Tales (stories or narratives) are as old as humanity, they are a
very important part of human culture. All human beings are
storytellers. In ancient cultures people used to believe that
telling stories can keep away evil. Myths are stories about the
origin of our universe, legends are stories about plants, animals,
and customs. Some scientists say that even our memories can be
described as tales (and that we cast ourselves and all our
relatives and friends as characters).

A wealthy merchant has three daughters. The youngest daughter,
Beauty, is the most beautiful. The merchant loses his wealth and
the family moves to a village. They now live a humble life.
2.
The merchant goes to the city one day and, on his way back, he gets
lost in a forest. Seeking shelter, he enters a marvellous palace
and spends the night there.
3.
The next morning, as he is about to leave, he sees a rose garden
and tries to pick a rose for Beauty.
Suddenly, a hideous Beast appears and tells the merchant that he
must die. The poor man tells the
Beast that the rose is a gift for his youngest daughter.
Finally, the Beast agrees to let the merchant leave, only if he or
one of his daughters returns to the palace.
4.
The merchant returns home and Beauty accepts to become the Beast’s
prisoner. The Beast receives her well and he is very kind to her.
Beauty lives a happy life in the Beast’s castle. The girl becomes
homesick and she asks the Beast to let her go home. He accepts,
only if she promises to come back after one week. He gives her a
magical mirror and a magical ring, that can transport her anywhere

garden of the castle near the roses, so she uses the ring and gets
back to him.
Now in front of the Beast, she is weeping, saying that she loves

Interdisciplinary Project – New Year’s Eve.
New Year’s Eve around the World.
This is a description of an interdisciplinary project. Its aim is
to help you organize your work and establish all the necessary
steps for finishing such a project.
Examples and ideas for developing such an interdisciplinary project
are also provided, together with a short film and easy to use
Picture Dictionary that aim to help you organize your work. (Check
your digital textbook to watch them.).
An interdisciplinary project aims to promote a better understanding
of the ideas from different subjects, as well as help you make
connections between your studies and your daily life. Also, it
promotes team building, critical thinking and creativity while
developing communication skills, interpersonal relationships, the
ability to organize time and resources and to respect a schedule.
In order to finish such a project one has to be responsible and to
manifest the capacity to co-operate with peers and grown-ups.
To accomplish all these, take into consideration the following
steps.
1. Establish the area of interest.
Organize a classroom debate to establish the area of interest.
(As an example, we provide you the theme New Year’s Eve around the
World, but you may also choose to change it.)
2. Choose the theme of your project.
1) Together with your English teacher invite a specialist in
History, literature, Geography, other teachers from your school or
other cultural personalities from your
community to help you develop the theme and to offer you
information about it. (Write an invitation or an e-mail. Remember
what you know about writing these messages: introduce yourselves,
explain the reason you write to that person, and give her / him all
the necessary details about your project. Be polite and
respectful.).
2) Organize a brainstorming meeting, with mixed teams consisting of
an adult and six or seven pupils to choose the theme of the
project.
(For instance, you may choose to describe New Year’s Eve customs
from different countries, such as China, or throughout history, or
you may choose to compare the
different ways communities celebrate New Year’s Eve).

interdisciplinary project. It must include: a) a presentation page
with author’s / s’ school, title, drafting period, partners
involved; b) introduction: an abstract that explains why you do the
project and presents the theme briefly (e.g.: is project aims to
help us better understand the customs of different communities
around the world regarding New Year’s Eve, to help us see how
similar some of them are.); c) content elements / project pages:
list of the activities (research, development of materials,
drawings, etc.) and the essay; d) conclusions of the studies or
research; d) bibliography and annexes: photos, observation sheets,
etc.

The steps described below may help you organize an educational trip
to any place you want (for instance, to an important place for your
