Your Step Ahead CD and how it works Have you got a CD player? Do you listen to English songs? Well, now you can also listen to your Step Ahead CD and use it to study and learn with your Workbook.

What’s on the CD? The opening dialogues of each unit in your Student’s Book.

The conversation in each Steps to Communication section of your Workbook.

The listening exercise for exam preparation at the end of each module in your Workbook.

How can you use the CD? Don’t worry if you can’t understand everything the first time. It takes practice, like everything.

If you want to be cool like the people on the CD, or your favourite English singer or actor, try this technique: Start the CD and close your eyes.

Pause after each sentence. Imagine you are the person on the CD and repeat the sentence exactly as you hear it.

How can you do an exam listening?

Read the instructions carefully. Here’s an example from page 16.

You listen to a boy and mark the correct answer.

When you listen for the first time, answer as many questions as you can.

Listen again and now even the difficult questions will seem easier.

1 Track 6

Listen to Luis (exercise 1, page 16). Tick the correct answer.
