We created the Touchstone series with the help of the Cambridge International Corpus of North American English, The corpus is a large database of language from everyday conversations, radio and television broadcasts, and newspapers and books. Using computer software, we analyze the corpus to find out how people actually use English. We use the corpus as a “touchstone” to make sure that each lesson teaches you authentic and useful language. The corpus helps us choose and explain the grammar, vocabulary, ‘and conversation strategies you need to communicate successfully in English Unit features Getting started presents new grammar in natural contexts such as surveys, interviews, conversations, and phone messages. Figure it out challenges you to notice how grammar Building vocabulary uses: pictures to introduce new words and expressions. Word sort helps you ~_ organize vocabulary and then use it to interact with ‘your classmates. Speaking naturally helps ~ E you understand anduse — | ‘natural pronunciation and | intonation. _J i se 4 Touchstone makes learning English fun. It gives you ‘many different opportunites to interact with your classmates. You can exchange personal information, take class surveys, role-play situations, play games, and discuss topies of personal interest. Using Touchstone, you can develop confidence in your abilty to understand real-life English and to express yourself clearly and effectively in everyday situations. We hope you enjoy using Touchstone and wish you every success with your English classes. Michael McCarthy Jeanne McCarten Helen Sandiford Grammar is presented in clear charts. —Grammar exercises give you practice with new structures and opportunities to exchange | Personal information with your | classmates.

Conversation strategy — helps you “manage” conversations better. In this lesson, you learn how to say no in a friendly way. The strategies are based on examples from the corpus. Listening and speaking skills are often practiced together. You listen to a variety of conversations based on real- life language. Tasks include “isten and react” activites. ‘Writing tasks include e-mails, letters, short articles, and material for Web pages ‘Help notes give you information on things like punctuation, inking ideas, and organizing information. Reading has interesting — texts from newspapers, magazines, and the Internet. The activities helo you develop reading skils. Fun facts from the corpus tell ‘you the most frequent words and expressions for different topics. Vocabulary notebook is. a page of fun activities to help you organize and write down vocabulary.
