This book will give you lots of extra practice, not just in grammar, but also in vocabulary, communication and reading and writing skills. The Workbook The Language Booster starts off with a Workbook section (pages 6 to 85). It's a workbook with a difference — the exercises are separated into two levels: Stay coo! (basic practice exercises), and Go for it (more challenging exercises). You can choose the level that suits you best, or you can do both levels, There are four Skills development sections. These feature a variety of texts such as interviews and magazine articles, accompanied by graded reading comprehension, communication and writing tasks. After every four units, there is a section called Boost your Writing to help develop and improve your writing skills. The Grammar Builder Do you still need more grammar practice? The second part of the Language Booster called the Grammar Builder (pages 87 to 150) contains an extra bank of grammar practice exercises and includes grammar reference sections called Grammar highlights, so that you can check on grammar rules when you are doing the exercises. You can work through the units in the Grammar Builder alongside the units in the Workbook section, or you can do them at a later stage for revision. We hope that this Language Booster, with its special features, will give you all the help you need to learn English successfully - and enjoyably!

Xiao Li’s story Xiao Li is an only child. She is one of about 65 million only children in China, She was 21 when she left her home in easter China to go to university in the south- west of the country. At home she had studied hard, but she ‘was not expected to do jobs around the house. She ‘also had her own room. At university, she had to share a room and she had to cook for herself. She hated sharing and she hated cooking. She wasn’t used to it. She ate only the bread and biscuits which her father had left her and she rarely went out, Just one week after she had arrived, she lefi a note saying she was giving up her course. She went home. “Eighty per cent of new students are only children,’ said the deputy director of the Yunnan University Office. ‘They have no brothers and sisters and they aren’t used to living with other young people. This year's students cried when they arrived and they were anxious to go back home in the middle of term for Chinese New Year.” Extra pressure In China's cities these days. teenagers do not know what it is like 10 look after a brother or a sister. At the Number 2 Middle School in Beijing. 16- year-old Wu Lili is an only child, just like all her other classmates and friends. ‘Do you wish you had a brother or a sister?” we asked her. ‘No.’ she replied. “If T had a brother or a sister, they would want to share my clothes and things. My parents love me more because I am an only child? But being an only child can bring extra pressure from parents, "My parents hope 1 will achieve a lot, so I have to work extra hard at school,’ aid 16-year-old Lin Weijing. “Lam the only child, the only hope in the family.” Spoilt by parents? A recent survey showed that parents spent one-third of their income on their child. But none of the children we interviewed thought they were spoilt : ‘The future Professor Wang Zhenya, at : the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, children are" wilful and egocentric. They behave like little emperors.’ But, she added, they are high- : achievers, — Consequently, China now has a large number of highly skilled : school-leavers. When they go to work, however, they will have to lear to get on with other people and to collaborate rather than compete. And they'll have to get used to sharing. ——1 Find a word or phrase which meat 1 an idea or a course of action chosen by an organisation a 2 not very often 4 Stay cool 3 demands which cause stress 4 money you receive for work and from other sources 5 allowed to do anything you want by your parents 6 people who do very well at school Go for it > nf 2 Answer the questions. 1 Why did the Chinese government introduce a policy of one-child families? 2 Where did Xiao Li live when she was a child? 3.
