IC.E Fluency 2
After Fluency 2, there is one more book whose aim is to prepare students for the last exam of the
course to get the final certificate.

2. THE APPROACH BEHIND FLUENCY 1


FLUENCY1 is the fifth book of the series for young adults and adults who are already able to
communicate in English in several situations. They must have finished Transitions 2 or achieved this
level through a placement test.
The book aims at mastering the students' communicative skills by means of lessons that present
extensive vocabulary and grammar allowing students to communicate more easily and naturally
in English.
Also, this book provides the students with opportunities to express themselves in a series of
different situations, through contextualized exercises to make the learning process more effective,
boosting the students' confidence to use language more fluently and more accurately. Some
cultural aspects are also introduced throughout the book, bringing the content of each lesson closer
to real life.

3. ORGANIZATION
There are 10 regular lessons which focus on the presentation and practice of more refined
language structures to help students communicate quickly and effectively in English. They also
introduce more advanced topic vocabulary, phrasal verbs and idioms. In addition, you'll find
practical exercises to help learners develop the main language skills.
The book also brings 5 communicative lessons called Fluency boosters. These lessons were planned
to provide additional speaking practice as well as to present a video activity and a pronunciation tip.
Another additional feature of Fluency 1 is the Writing bank. There are 5 different exercises which
were designed to enhance students' writing skills. The Nrap it up! lessons come after lessons 5 and
10, offering a sequence of exercises meant to prepare students for the tests. Last but not least, the
book brings different sections at the end: Word booste, Language booster and Self-study

IC.E. Fluency 1 presents learners with a wide range of phrasal verbs and idioms so they can become
more tamiliar with them and understand their importance mainly in spoken language. In addition,
learning how to use phrasal verbs and idioms correctly will make learners sound more natural in
English.
The presentation of phrasal verbs is done in the section Vocabulary, while the presentation of
idioms is done in the section Check this out!. Besides, phrasal verbs and idioms re also introduced
in the lesson in reading passages, listening comprehension exercises among other learning
resources available in IC.E. Fluency 1.

10. EVALUATION

The students are formally evaluated twice in FLUENCY 1, after lessons 5 and 10. The minimum
passing grade is an average of 60 and none of the individual grades may be below 50. A
student whose average is below 60 or who gets an individual grade below 50 can be given a
second chance test. However, we do not recommend that the student take more than one
second-chance test during the book.
NOTE: In Fluency 1, the recordings for each exercise of the listening comprehension tests are
recorded only twice.

The episodes basically bring structures and vocabulary

there may be some topics that students haven't formally learned

EPISODE1 - MOOD FOOD

We've been living such a crazy and stressful life that some days we feel like staying in bed and
doing nothing at all. While some people go see a doctor for help, others try different things,
such as sports and alternative therapies. But let me tell
you a secret: the place to find the cure
for these problems might be closer than you think, more specifically, in your kitchen.

Just like every other part of our body, the brain is affected by what we eat and drink. Here's a
simple example: if you haven't been in a good mood lately, chances are you've been eating too
much sugar and fat. When consumed in excess, these items can make people blowa fuse.

Interesting, huh?
And there is more. If your blood sugar drops, you are also likely to feel more irritated and
tired
To avoid this, nutritionists recommend that we regularly eat foods which release
energy slowly,
such as pasta, rice, oats, wholegrain bread and cereals, among others

Here's another fact: Did you know that most people feel little
a
depressed when they starta diet
to lose weight?

That happens because they must cut down on carbohydrates, and carbs are responsible for
making us feel happy and relaxed. A good way to fight this is consuming more portions of dark
green vegetables, such as broccoli and spinach

Speaking of diets, our brain works more efficiently when we follow an eating plan that is rich
in protein. So next time you have a difficult test in the
morning, try having a high-protein
breakfast. Eating omelets, for example, will make you feel more focused, but that doesn't mean
you don't need to study for the test, ok?
Finally, let's talk about the importance of staying hydrated.
Not drinking enough fluid will probably make you lose focus. According to health experts, we
should drink 6-8 glasses of fluid a day. Water, of course, is the healthiest option, but you can
also drink tea, coffee or juice. Just be careful with the sugar and caffeine in these fluids. When
consumed in excess, caffeine makes us anxious and depressed.
All in all, taking care of our eating habits is essential. The food and drinks we consume have the
power to affect our mood and nobody wants to feel bad all the time.

For more information about healthy eating and how food can change your mood, talk to a
nutritionist.

EPISODE2- THRILLS AND CHILLS


Nobody can deny that roller coasters are an essential part of any theme park not only in
America, but also anywhere else in the world.
The inspirationfor this kind of entertainment dates back to the 18th
century, when the Russians
invented ice slides. These slides were frozen over with ice and riders down the
slopes at tremendous speeds. People had never seen such a thing before.

In many parts of the world, roller coasters are known as "Russian
mountains". Interestingly, the
Russians refer to roller coasters as "American mountains".
Nowadays, roler coasters can be made of either wood or steel and they can use different
combinations of loops, drops and turns to make rides insane. There are even roller coasters with
special effects.

Modern theme parks compete to have "the tallest, the fastest, the scariest and the
most
extreme" roller coasters ever. While some people enjoy the thrills and
chills, others are scared to
death. Just thinking of riding on one gives them the
creeps.
But why?

Roller coasters intentionally designed to be scary. They appeal to the same part of the brain

Although rides are very safe these days, to a phobic this irrational fear can bring about a lot of
unpleasant sensations, such as dizziness, sweating, elevated heart rates, shortness of breath, etc.
Experts have been working together with famous theme parks to understand this fear and to
to come up with treatments to minimize the eftects of the try
coaster phobia or even help
overcome it. people
In conclusion, roller coasters are designed to make
people face their fears and go beyond their
limits. Many people believe that they should do
something out of their comfort zone from time

goal by creating a "heart-in-the-mouth"
effect. While some people love this sensation, for others it can be a
nightmare.

EPISODE 3- DISCOVERIES BY ACCIDENT
When you think about inventors, you probably picture a bunch of geniuses inside a well-
equipped research lab, surrounded by state-of-the-art technology, performing bold experiments
that might result in things that will instantly change everything.

Well, we'e got part of it right, but the truth is:

Some of the world's most important discoveries were accidents caused by clumsy scientists
misguided inventors and even crazy chefs.

Today's episode will highlight some noteworthy inventions that prove that mishaps are not
always awful.

To begin with, let's talk about an invention which makes modern life much easier, the microwave
Oven.

This small rectangular "box was invented in the United States in 1945. its inventor, Percy
Spencer, was working with a microwave-emitting magnetron when he felt an odd sensation in
his pants. A chocolate bar that was in his pocket had melted. He immediately associated the
melting with the microwave radiation. That was the birth of the microwave oven.

Another fortunate mistake that was turned into a great invention is play dough. This kids
favorite was discovered in the 1930s, when a man from Ohio created a substance to clean
wallpaper. Later, teachers from different parts of the country learned that it could be used as a
modeling compound to make arts and crafts projects at schools. But it wasn't until after World
War II that the inventor's nephew had the idea to give the product a new name and sell it to
schools and teachers. It was an immediate success

Finally, let's talk about a popular stationery item found in any office across the country: Post-it
notes. The formula behind it was discovered by mistake in 1968, when Dr. Spencer Silver was
he invented adhesive that stuck to
attempting to create a super strong adhesive. Instead, an

abjects but could be easily removed. It took him years to find a potential use for his discovery. It
was only in 1980 that 3M agreed to distribute Post-it notes nationwide.

All things considered, it's important to say that necessity is not always the mother of invention.
So whetheryou're working on an experiment with materials or on a new business model
remember thatfailures will inevitably happen, and when one does, don't get upset. After all, this
slight mishap might be your "Eureka" moment.

And that's a wrap! Stay tuned for new episodes of EXPLORATIONS. Onhy at FISK!

EPISODE 4- TIME FLIES

YOur alarm goes off in the morning and you have no time for the snooze button. You just hurry
up to hit the shower, get dressed, grab something to est and rush off to work or school.

A stressful long day is awaiting you. You'l bounce from task to taskjust trying to giveit your
best shot without any chance of taking some time off to clear your head.

Then, you go back home have dinner and hit the couch for some TV time. inally, you go to
bed, but deep inside, you feel exhausted because you know that youll have to do it all over
again tomorrow.
For most of us, this is a common scenario. The simple, unpleasant truth is that we are busier
than ever. We are living fast.

Statistics have shown that people across the globe walk on average 10% faster than they did
around 20 years ago. On the other hand we are driving more slowly. Cars are faster, but the
traffic is much worse. We spend more time sitting in our car seats than we do sitting on our
couches. Sad, huh?

We are also less patient than we used to be. If people go to the supermarket.
across a long checkkout line, they simply give up. And if it takes an elevator more than 15
seconds to arrive, we get stressed out.

Now, the big question is: how can we manage time so we can live better in the long run?

Here area few tips.

First of all, LEARN TO SAY "NO":


This little word can change your life. When a person asks you to do something that you really
don't have time to do, just say NO politely.

Secondly, PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN.

You don't need to be online 24/7. Going offline for a while will help you manage time and focus
on performing tasks that demand more attention.

Next KEEP A TO-DO LIST.

Have a reminder system to show you what you must do and what your deadlines are. It will help
you decide your priorities.
In essence, we all need to work hard at having a balanced lifestyle. First define what balance
means to you; then set achievable goals and go tor it. Remember to cut out distractions and
review your progress from time to time. By doing these little things you will find the time to chill
out and enjoy life.

Because of the popularity of the game Mario Bros in 1983, a lot of children were named after
this iconic character.

The best-selling console of all time is the PlayStation 2, with more than 150 million units sold.

49% of American adults play videogames. 65% of American households own a device to play
video games
Mobile gaming is a multi-billion-dollar industry these days. Curiously, this platform was boosted
thanks to the release of the iPhone and the App Store.

There are over 2 billion gamers in the world. Half of them comes from the Asia-Pacific region.

The average age ofgamers is 38.

59% of gamers are men.

Taking everything into account what does the future hold for video games?

Although it's rather complicated to predict, the future of gaming seems quite exciting.

New trends indicate advances in technologies like virtual and augmented realities. Also, the
enduring stereotype of the lonely gamer might be on borrowed time because collaborative
gaming wil probably get more and more popular.

In conclusion, the world of video games advances in new and interesting ways so the gamer will

they can target the code on the page with their smartphone/tablet cameras to access an extra
activity related to the lesson they will study/ have just studied.

Digital Material DIGITAL


A reproduction of the book into a multimedia application that makes lesson presentation much
more appealing to your students. This resource is supposed to be used in class by the teacher.

We strongly recommend that you explore the Digital Material before using it in class. Some
procedures for lesson presentation may be slightly different from the ones presented in this
manual.

It is extremely important to get to know each resource in advance to make the best use of it and
engage your students in the learning process.

14. HOW TO DEAL WITH NEw wORDS

In this Teacher's Edition the new words are shown in boxes, which is a great help in lesson
planning. There are different techniques you can choose from to deal with them. What you
should bear in mind is the context in which they appear. For instance, if it is an activity where the
focus is on learning vocabulary, then the words should be explained. On the other hand, if they
are in a reading extract, students should be given the opportunity to try to understand them
in the context. If there are new words in the exercises, then you should make sure the students
understand them before doing the activities.

XVII Fluency L
Here are some suggestions to present new words:

. Pictures Real objects (realia)

Paraphrasing Synonyms
Flashcards .Drawings on the board

.Gestures Giving examples (in a context)

Definition Translating
Remember to use the new words whenever an opportunity presents itself. Encourage the students to
use them as well. In order to retain vocabulary learners need to use words in a variety of contexts, so
recycling and reviewing is an important part of the process.

15. HOW TO HANDLE MISTAKES

A lot of things that we call "mistakes" should be seen as learning steps and should not be
frustrating to the teacher or inhibiting to the student. If a teacher wants to be successful in dealing
with mistakes, he/she has to keep in mind when, how and what to correct.

First of all consider the kind of activity, whether it is a whole class practice, and the teacher is in
total control, or if it is pair or group work, in which the students work more
independently. If you
are practicing new structures or vocabulary with the whole class, you should point out what is
incorrect and then correct in the group. This should be done
by using the following techniques:
First, give the student a chance for self-correction. Ask the question again or simply say "Pardon?".
Then, if the student is not able to recognize and correct his/her mistake, you can prompt the
answer by using gestures or
indicating where the problem is.
If the student cannot provide the right answer, ask the class for help.
On the other hand, when the students are

Welcome to Fisk Immediate Conversation in English Fluency1
-

The fifth book of the series for young adults and adults has been designed
to master students' communication skills in English through a wide range of
speaking tasks, language structures and more refined vocabulary.
1CE Fluency 1 aims at making learners more independent in English so that they
can use it more fluently and accurately.

Take an active part in your classes and, outside, use Cyber Fisk. Also remember
that the more contact you have with English the better. Listen to music, watch
movies and TV shows and read whatever you can.

Hop on and enjoy the ride!

1 The most challenging and rewarding things in life are the relationships we have. A harmonious
relationship allows us to learn a lot about ourselves. Unfortunately, fear of being hurt often
prevents us from having a gratifying relationship. There is one occasion though, when we seem to
4 put all that behind: when we find a perfect match, or better said, a soul mate. The problem is,
finding a person to share our life with is not an easy task. Knowing yourself better makes it easier
sO you've got to know your positive and negative traits; the things you like and the ones you can't
put up with. The moment you find a potential soul mate, pay attention to how he/she is, what
8 he/she does and how he/she lives his/her life. A strong and independent person can make the
relationship much more stimulating but also more complicated. Beware of possessive and
controlling people. Obviously physical attraction counts, but it is not the most important thing.
Remember: your perfect match needs to be somebody who can feed your soul.

excuse or given it yourself? No matter where you are or who you are meeting, there is always
Someone who will be late. Sadly, in the modern world, people seem to have less and less regard
4 for punctuality. I sometimes feel l am the last person to believe that being late is a serious lack
of respect for the other person's time and effort to show up at the time that was previously
agreed on. Being late once or twice may be unavoidable, after all, emergencies do happen.
However, being stuck in traffic is not one of them, it is lack of planning and responsibility. Today
there are apps that show traffic flow and alternative routes in real time. Besides, if you are not
familiar with a certain route, add at least 15 or 20 minutes on top of what Google Maps, Waze
or GPS shows you. The truth is, people try to cram too many activities into a busy schedule and
fail to follow it. Being late to an appointment is just one of the consequences.
