CUM FOLOSII MANUALUL?
n primul rnd, ascultai dialogurile de pe casete pentru a v putea concentra asupra textului englez, fr a v folosi de manual. La a doua ascultare, citii din manual textele dialogurilor. De ori simii nevoia, apsai
pe butonul pauz, oprii caseta i citii n linite. Dac dorii s revenii, derulai caseta i reluai partea dorit!
n al doilea rnd, dublai cu voce tare dialogul de pe caset, lecie cu lecie. Oprii banda i reluai de cte ori este nevoie, dac dorii s ascultai o secven anume. Urmrii cu atenie preluarea exact a pronuniei i intonaiei. Cnd sntei sigur c putei repeta dialogul, din nou cu voce tare din manual.
n al treilea rnd, axai-v pe acele pri din lecii intitulate Cum se exprim. cu i aflai ce nsemneaz. Eventual ascultai din nou dialogurile
de pe casete, cuprinznd situaiile respective. Gsii moduri de exprimare i reguli gramaticale simple, pentru a v constitui o baz a limbii engleze. al patrulea rnd, folosii componenta exerciii din fiecare lecie. n

Dai rspunsul cu voce tare. Ascultai rspunsul de pe caset ori utilizai soluiile oferite de manual,
soluia proprie. Dup fiecare soluie, pe caset este o scurt pauz. Dac acea pauz
nu v este suficient pentru soluionare, acionai butonul pauz" al
Acordai atenie exprimrii i i cutai s le reproducei. Repetai de cte ori simii c este necesar.
n al cincilea rnd, ascultai nc o dat dialogurile. Vei remarca faptul c nelegei sensurile fr nici un efort. Repetai operaia de cte ori este nevoie pentru a nelege i a v exprima corect. Nu v sfiii s vorbii cu voce tare. Este cea mai bun formul de nvare.
n partea a doua a manualului, gsii un grup de scenete al cror coninut este astfel dozat nct numrul vocabulelor s creasc de la prima spre ultima scenet. Este vorba de vocabule pe care nc nu le-ai nvat. Nu v alarmai, dac nu putei rspunde imediat unei ntrebri. Reascultai sceneta de cte ori este nevoie. Dac socotii necesar, derulai puin caseta napoi i ascultai din nou, pn ce, cu ajutorul vocabulelor deja nvate, putei descurca lucrurile i putei da rspunsul.
Nu uitai s vorbii cu voce tarei

romnesc "". 5. "" n cuvinte ca better mai bun, member membru,
never niciodat.
febr; meter [mit] metru; serious
9
se n cuvinte ca big mare, bill fish pete, milk lapte, till
pn. Aici nu am folosit transcrierea fonetic, cuvintele se pronun aproape la fel cum snt scrise.
