A significant feature of the General English phase of the ALC is that military ‘vocabulary is included wherever applicable. ‘= The presentation of gremmar is carefully sequenced. The grammatical structures presented in the lessons are the forms a language learner needs in order to speale and write standard English, New grammar is often depicted in charts or tables that serve to focus the learner's attention on the particular structure being presented, + Language functions are the ways we use a language to communicate. In each lesson, ‘exercises that focus on functions show the learner how and when to use certain words, phrases, and sentences ‘In addition, language and academic skills exercises are interspersed throughout the lessons. These focus on developing the learner’s language proficieney in listening, speaking, reading, and writing, ‘The Scope and Sequence chart located on the previous page shows the content of the current book. The four columns outline the new material as it relates to the language ‘acquisition components described above. Bach lesson begins with a table of contents {ollowed by a preview page. The preview page provides a summary of the new material presented in the lesson, Eich ALC book has four lessons introducing new material and one review lesson, These are followed by a homework section and daily evaluation exercises. Various appendices are also ineluded. ‘The homework and the evaluation exereises are at the back of this text. It generally takes about two hours to complete the daily homework assignments. The evaluation exercises are short quizzes that give both the teacher and the student feedback on how well students have learned the material "The appendices follow the fifth lesson. Appendix A provides an alphabetical list of new vocabulary presented in this book. The number of the lesson in which each word. or phrase is introduced is provided next to the entry. Appendix B presents a list of ‘grammatical structures introduced in the book; a lesson number is provided along with ‘each entry for easy reference.

They help search for and reseue people from natural ‘and man-made disasters. In addition, fie fighters teach public fire safety education tnd inspect buildings to prevent fires. Staying prepared for the demanding job of firefighting takes a lot of work. Along with keeping their bodies fit, trim, and strong by exercising and lifting weights, firefighters are careful to eat heallhy diets. To keep their abilities up-to-date and to prevent making fatal errors, they spend a lot of time training. Some learn special methods for putting out, fires on airplanes and ships. Some take courses to become specialists and carn certifi- cates; some go on to earn degrees in fire science at a college or university Firefighters work as teams which are led by a fire chief. It takes at least ten years of experience, a bachelor’s degree, and hundreds of training hours for a firefighter to become a chief. Is the responsibility ofthe fire chief to insist on safe methods and disci pine, and to make sure that firefighters who are under his command keep their equipment in excellent condition, ready for immediate use. This equipment includes fire vehicles, special tools, fireproof coats and boots, and helmets for head protection. While city fire departments are responsible for their local dis tics, all fire departments in the United States have agreements {o assist other districts. Specially trained firefighting teams are ‘often asked for their assistance by other cities, other states, and even other countries. Several times a year, fire departments in cities and on military installations join with police departments, hos- pitals, and city officals to conduct joint disaster train- ing. These drills allow officals to be sure that everyone knows how to do their jobs according to the emergency ‘management chain of command and policies.

Police have barricaded the streets around Met- 10 Plastics. “The fire is not completely fout, and there may still be dangerous chemicals in the air. People should avoid the area,” says Blue Lake Fine Chief, Darrel Simon, ‘The two firefighters were injured when heavy smoke made it difficult to get through fo Horton in the basement of the buming building.

Answer the questions. ‘The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) is an international organization whose goal is fire prevention and public safety. The fire diamond is a special warning sign developed by the NFPA to help firefighters identify tuildings or containers that hold dangerous materials. Its purpose is to indicate how to fight fires that occur near the ‘cangerous materials, A fire diamond has four sections: blue, red, yellow,and white. ‘The blue, ted, and yellow sections each have a number, from (104, which shows certain kinds of dangers. herent Blue = health hazard 0 Roney Red = ability to burn 1 Yellow =fkeinood of 2 explosion 3 White = special hazards | | 4 extreme danger The white section is for special hazards. It may be empty or hold a leter or symbol. For instance, if there is a W, firefighters know not to use water on a fire because that chemical becomes extremely dangerous when it touches water. Another example is OX, letters which ‘mean that the chemical will not burn by itself but can cause or strengthen a fire. 1.
