Unit 1
Life Experience
(Making a New Life; A Path to Success; A Troubled Past; Questions; and Focus Exercises)
This Unit completes the presentation of intermediate verb structures introduced in New Dynamic English, Levels 2 and 3, and prepares students for Level 4, where students will focus on more abstract relationships, especially the modals and conditionals.
In this Unit, students learn how to talk about the totality of their lives: their past and accumulated experience, their current situations, and their plans and hopes for the future. In particular, we review and develop the present perfect and passive constructions of the verb.
In Making a New Life, A Path to Success, and A Troubled Past, the lives of three characters are introduced and summarized. Within the contexts of each life, the lessons focus on events and experiences and how they are sequenced in time.
In Questions and Focus Exercises, students focus on information questions and sentence construction with a mixture of verb constructions, including the passive and perfect forms.
Goals
To be able to understand and talk about one’s life experience and qualifications.
To be able to organize a brief presentation about one’s education and travel experience.
Objective 1: To be able to understand and use the present perfect and past tense forms in a simple narrative about experience.
Objective 2: To be able to understand and use the passive form together with the past tense and perfect forms of the verb.
Objective 3: To be able to use appropriate time phrases to organize a brief written or oral presentation about one’s experience.

Unit 2
Matrix Vocabulary
(Occupations; Places to Go; Ways to Travel; Things to Wear; Feelings; and Matrix Game)
This Unit introduces vocabulary related to five subject areas of importance in daily conversations. It is important to extend the vocabulary in each category. For example, in Occupations the class should list additional jobs and professions and discuss the advantages, disadvantages, qualifications, and give a detailed description of each.
In the second category, Places to Go, students learn how to describe a variety of places by indicating what happens there. An expanded list of places will add useful vocabulary to the lesson and allows students to bring in their own interests.
In the third category, Ways to Travel, students can add travel-related vocabulary, such as commute, rush hour, in cities, in the country, passengers, mass transit, etc.
In the fourth and fifth categories, Things to Wear and Feelings, there are many interesting ways to extend and add to the examples. How this is done depends on the age and profile of your students. Both categories lend themselves to role plays and other activities, examples of which are listed in Classroom Activities.
Once each category has been studied, students will enjoy the Matrix Game where they can test themselves and see how high they can score. This activity helps to review and reinforce the basic language, and can be extended into a class activity.
Goals:
To be able to talk about common jobs and professions.
To be able to describe places of business and of general interest by talking about what happens there.
To be able to talk about means of transportation, and general travel patterns. To be able to talk about and describe clothes.

Objective 4: To prepare students to understand references made to feelings, and to talk about feelings in an appropriate and understandable way.
