Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) A1 A2 B1 B2 C1 C2 Titles with this logo include a reference to the Common European Framework of Reference for Language (CEFR) levels, as a general guide to teachers The Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) is a useful tool for anyone involved in English language learning, teaching and testing. It provides a common basis for describing levels of language ability in terms of what a learner ‘can do’ with the language in real-world tasks. Cambridge University Press is a leading member of English Profile, an EU-sponsored research project to describe the specific knowledge and skills in English that learners need to reach each CEFR level. Our course designers and authors make use of English Profile research to ensure courses are finely tuned to what learners at each level need.
Experts Together Our aim is to deliver the materials you tell us you need. Exclusive insights from test development and candidate performance guarantees expert content. The result is a unique Exam Journey in each course, ensuring every student is ready on exam day. Cambridge English Qualifications support students to develop their language skills and improve their English step by step. Each of these qualifications targets a particular level of the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) and provides a clear focus for study programmes. The topics and tasks in the exams are designed to reinforce the learning your students do in class, and have a positive impact on teaching and learning.

hey eat wild animals, plants, berries, nuts and insects. They hunt with bows and arrows. There are lots of dangerous snakes, spiders and scorpions. There are lions, leopards, cheetahs and hyenas. It’s one of southern Africa’s hottest places, and there is often no water. Then they have to get their water from plants, for example from desert melons. When they are ill, there are no hospitals. The people have to get their medicine from plants too. They are the San, the last people living in the Kalahari. The San people have another name –‘bush people’. Their lifestyle is very simple, but they know more about animals and plants than most people do. The San people live in small groups of 25–50. They live in huts – little ‘houses’ that they make from wood and grass. There are no schools for the children. Children learn from the older people in the group. There are lots of things they have to learn so that they can live in a dangerous place like the Kalahari. In the evenings, the groups of people often sit around a fire and tell stories. Many of the stories are about animals and how to hunt them.
• Think explores complex issues and thoughtprovoking topics, fostering a deeper level of engagement. • A purposeful focus on critical thinking, positive values, and healthy self-esteem builds lifelong habits of mind.
The Kalahari is a big area of bushland in southern Africa. It has got two parts. There is less rain in the southern part than there is in the northern part, so the south is drier. There are fewer plants and animals there, and it’s a lot more difficult for people to live. But when it rains at the end of the summer, the land becomes greener and more beautiful. For a few weeks, there are millions of little flowers and even butterflies! But soon, the grass and the bushes get dry and turn brown. Then life becomes more difficult again for people and animals.
READING 1 Look at the photos. Which of the animals can you name in English?
• Culture lessons encourage students to think and talk about life in other countries and how it compares with their own.
2 Name other animals in English. Write them down. 3
SPEAKING Work in pairs. Look at the animals on your list. What countries do you think of?

The bush people get their water from the river. When the San people are ill, they get medicine from a hospital. The bush people teach children important things about living in the Kalahari. 4 The north of the Kalahari is wetter than the south. 5 There are more animals and plants in northern Kalahari. 6 A holiday in the Kalahari is never dangerous. 1 2
SPEAKING Work in pairs. Look at the photos again and answer the questions.

Valuing our world 1 Read and tick (✓) the statements that show that the natural world is important. 1
Every year, thousands of tourists from all over the world visit the Kalahari. They love driving around the bushland in open jeeps. They love watching the wild animals. Their guides are often San bushmen and the tourists love listening to their stories about the wonders of the Kalahari. The tourists stay in small huts called ‘lodges’. They have comfortable beds and showers, but there is no electricity in the huts. When they go out of their hut, they have to be very careful. Sometimes there are lions or leopards around!

Why should I want to go on a safari? There’s a nice zoo in my city where I can see lots of animals. I want to build a hotel for 800 people in the Kalahari Desert. We can make a lot of money like that. It’s great to learn about wild animals. It helps me to understand more about the world. Who needs lions, leopards and hyenas? They’re dangerous animals and that’s it! I watch a lot of nature programmes on TV. I support a project to save the tiger in India.
SPEAKING
Compare your ideas in pairs.
Statement 1 shows that the natural world is not important for this person. Why do you think that? Because the person doesn’t want to see wild animals in nature. But maybe that’s not true. Maybe he or she thinks flying to other places is not good for nature. 85
