 Welcome to English 9
We believe that you learn more when you know how
to study.
This digital book and the audio files are for homework.
It’s important that you do your homework regularly
and that you’re ready to start your class on time.
Teachers answer specific questions about the
homework, but they do not check homework in
class. You can check your homework on the Answer
Key.
We use the following grades to evaluate your oral
progress:
10 (very good)
9 (good)
7 (minimum)
5 (not passing)
During the course your teacher gives you suggestions
to help you improve your level of English. We talk to
you individually about your oral grade during the
review units.
There is an online exam at the end of the course. To
pass the course you need to get 70 points on the
exam and at least a 7 for an oral grade.
The goals for the first half of the course are to
understand and use:
• Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous:
How long have you worked here?
I’ve been working here for five years.
• Past Perfect:
When I arrived at the gate, the plane had already
taken off.
• Past Perfect Continuous:
He had been sleeping when the fire started.
• Abilities opportunities in present, past, and
future:
Were you able to talk to Mr. Rice yesterday?
No, I couldn’t. He’s in a meeting right now.
You’ll be able to get ahold of him if you call after
10 a.m.
The goals for the second half of the course are to
understand and use:
• Wishes in the present:
I wish I had more money.
• Unreal situations in the present:
If I had more money, I could buy a new car.
• Report commands and requests:
He told me to call him.
I asked Liz to help me with the homework.
• Tag questions and short answers:
You live here, don’t you?
Yes, I do.
It’s important to use these structures with good
grammar and fluency, and another goal is to learn
vocabulary.
If you have questions, problems, or recommendations,
you can ask your teacher or course coordinator.
