What You’ll Learn
New Headway Pre-Intermediate: B1.1 Overview
Chapter 1: Getting to Know You
Explore past, present, and future tenses to talk about yourself and others (e.g., “Where were you born?” “What do you do?”). Practice forming questions with words like who, why, and how much. Learn social expressions and how to use a bilingual dictionary effectively.
Chapter 2: The Way We Live
Focus on present tenses, including the present simple for habits and facts (e.g., “Most people live in the south”) and the present continuous for ongoing actions (e.g., “What’s he doing at the moment?”). Learn how to use have and have got for possessions and practice daily life collocations to make conversations smoother.
Chapter 3: It All Went Wrong
Master past tenses, including the past simple (e.g., “He heard a noise”) and past continuous (e.g., “A car was waiting”). Use time expressions to narrate events and expand your vocabulary with word formation exercises.
Chapter 4: Let’s Go Shopping!
Learn how to talk about quantities with much and many (e.g., “How much butter?” “How many eggs?”), some and any (e.g., “Some apples, any grapes”), and phrases like a few, a little, and a lot. Explore articles (e.g., “A shopkeeper, the River Thames”) and practice shopping vocabulary, prices, and expressions like something, anyone, and everywhere.
Chapter 5: What Do You Want to Do?
Understand verb patterns (e.g., “Want/hope to do, enjoy/like doing, looking forward to doing”). Use future forms like going to and will to discuss intentions (e.g., “She’s going to travel the world,” “I’ll pick it up for you”). Practice “hot verbs” and expressions for sharing how you feel.
Chapter 6: Tell Me! What’s It Like?
Learn how to describe things with comparative and superlative adjectives (e.g., “Big/bigger/biggest, good/better/best”). Use phrases like What’s it like? to ask for descriptions. Expand your vocabulary with synonyms, antonyms, and directions.
Chapter 7: Famous Couples
Combine the present perfect and past simple to talk about life events and accomplishments (e.g., “She has written 20 novels,” “He wrote 47 novels”). Practice using for and since (e.g., “For three years,” “Since 1985”) and revise tenses with questions like “How long have you lived there?” and “Why did you move?”
