CONFIDENCE and CONNECTIONS Student Book
C O NF IDE N C E A ND C O NNE C T I O N S
Confidence and Connections was developed by Intercambio Uniting Communities to offer practical English language acquisition for adults. The series was designed for both 1-on-1 and group learning environments. The hallmark of this curriculum is its unique focus on building confidence and personal connections between students and teacher.
B O O K 4R
Each lesson culminates with a Connect with Conversation activity, providing students a safe place to practice speaking English while getting to know their fellow students and teacher. In addition, every lesson includes a pronunciation exercise to help students learn and practice the many sounds and rhythm of the language.
TM
There are 2 books per level, L (left) and R (right), enabling shorter completion cycles per level. Completing a book builds student confidence and allows a shorter waiting period for a returning student. Together these two books, L and R, complete a level and you can begin with either one. Build your community by teaching and learning English The Intercambio Way™.
Adult ESL The Intercambio Way Intercambio is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization founded in 2001. In addition to our successful and continually advancing program in Boulder Colorado, we support and share best practices with organizations across the country that use our curriculum, training and resources. We are committed to learning from everyone. Please share ideas or feedback with us at www.intercambio.org/comments $12.00 ISBN 978-1-947639-23-2

Campfires, certain types of stoves, smoking and other activities might be illegal. It is your responsibility to know what the current restrictions are for the area that you plan to visit, whether it’s having a BBQ at a park or camping.

Read the flyer. Circle the correct answers.
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Keeping your teeth and gums clean can prevent cavities and gum disease.
Visit the dentist regularly. Checkups can find tooth decay, gum disease, and other problems before they lead to more serious issues like tooth loss.
Drink fluoride water to keep teeth strong and reduce cavities.
Avoid sugary snacks and drinks which can lead to tooth decay, type 2 diabetes, and other health problems.
Avoid all forms of tobacco and limit alcohol. Smokers have twice the risk of gum disease compared to nonsmokers. Excessive alcohol use combined with tobacco use causes at least 75% of head and neck cancers.
If you have diabetes, work with your doctor to keep your blood sugar close to your target level. High blood sugar increases the risk of tooth decay and gum disease.

Read the article about ways to remember things. Pick two tips that you might try and discuss with a partner.
Five Easy Tips to Improve Your Memory Memory, like body strength, requires you to “use it or lose it.” The more you work out your brain, the better you’ll be able to process and remember information. But not all activities are equal. The best brain exercises break your routine and challenge you to use and develop new brain pathways. Here are some other interesting ways to improve your memory: 1. Use pictures or short notes We remember visual cues better than words. Say you need to remember an appointment. Try putting the appointment on a sticky note and stick it on a mirror.
3. Do it backward One study found that walking backward may improve short-term memory. It’s not clear why this is the case, but people may associate reverse motion with a return to the past, which may trigger a memory response. 4. Exercise and diet No pill can give you the same benefits as regular exercise and good fresh food. If exercise isn't part of your day, start out with a five minute walk each day. Then increase to a longer walk. If walking is painful, try swimming or cycling. Trade a side dish of rice for a fruit or vegetable. 5. Minimize distractions. Do one thing at a time. Turn off the television or radio when you're talking with someone. At a restaurant, try to face the wall so you can more easily focus on the conversation at your table.

A public high school passed a dress code policy for parents. Parents cannot wear hair curlers, PJs, or revealing tops when coming to the school. What do you think? Discuss with a partner.
CULTURE TIP Clothing that is considered appropriate or not appropriate can be very different depending on the location, business, school or organization. If you are not sure what kinds of clothing are appropriate, it’s a good idea to ask. In general, do you think people wear more revealing clothing here or in your native country?

Lesson 12 The party was so great The party was such a disaster
Infinitive = to + verb to walk Base form = verb in the most basic form walk Gerund= verb + ing. The gerund always works as a noun. Walking is quicker than driving. Past Participle = verb + ed (regular verbs). Irregular forms vary. Used to form the present perfect tense. He has worked for 3 years. I have gone there many times. Phrasal verb = verb + preposition. These usually have a different meaning than the verb alone. I work every day = I go to my job every day. I work out every day = I exercise every day. Modal verb = a special kind of verb that we use to talk about certainty, advice, possibility, ability and others. I can work every day. = I have the ability I should work every day. = it’s a good idea if I work every day Simple Present Base form of verb (+s with he/she/it) I walk to school every day. She walks to school on Tuesdays. We use the simple present for repeated actions or habits. Present Continuous Correct form of be + base form + ing He‘s walking to school right now. We use the present continuous to talk about an action taking place right now. I’m walking to work tomorrow because my car broke down. We can also use the present continuous to talk about the future. Simple Past Base form + -ed I walked yesterday. We use the simple past to talk about completed actions in the past.
Past Continuous Past form of be + base form + ing He was walking to school yesterday. We use the past continuous to talk about an action taking place at a certain time in the past. Future with going to Present tense of be + going to + base form of verb I’m going to walk to work next week. We use going to talk about (planned) actions in the future. Future with will will + base form of verb I will walk to work next week. We use will to talk about actions in the future or offers. We use will for predictions, promises and when we have not made specific plans. Present Perfect have/has + past participle He has left for work already. I have called her twice. We use the present perfect for actions that happened at an unspecified time in the past. We can also use it for actions that began in the past and still continue or are repeated.
CONFIDENCE and CONNECTIONS Student Book
C O NF IDE N C E A ND C O NNE C T I O N S
Confidence and Connections was developed by Intercambio Uniting Communities to offer practical English language acquisition for adults. The series was designed for both 1-on-1 and group learning environments. The hallmark of this curriculum is its unique focus on building confidence and personal connections between students and teacher.
B O O K 4R
Each lesson culminates with a Connect with Conversation activity, providing students a safe place to practice speaking English while getting to know their fellow students and teacher. In addition, every lesson includes a pronunciation exercise to help students learn and practice the many sounds and rhythm of the language.
TM
There are 2 books per level, L (left) and R (right), enabling shorter completion cycles per level. Completing a book builds student confidence and allows a shorter waiting period for a returning student. Together these two books, L and R, complete a level and you can begin with either one. Build your community by teaching and learning English The Intercambio Way™.
Adult ESL The Intercambio Way Intercambio is a 501 (c) 3 nonprofit organization founded in 2001. In addition to our successful and continually advancing program in Boulder Colorado, we support and share best practices with organizations across the country that use our curriculum, training and resources.
