Missions You’ll work on Missions. According to the Cambridge Dictionary a Mission is ‘an important job that someone is given to do’. Each Mission focuses on one or more life skills and two or three language skills. Completing an important job requires training. That’s why you can follow three or four Training sessions to prepare yourself for completing your Mission. In the first Training session you can practise with the Mission support subjects: vocabulary, grammar and phrases. The other Training sessions will each centre around a single language skill (reading, listening, writing, speaking or conversation). The life skills are the backbone and will be present throughout the entire Mission. Together with your teacher you can decide which Training sessions are important for you. Maybe all of them, but maybe you will only need to do one of them. Perhaps you can even complete your Mission successfully without having to train at all. Each Mission teaches you a new range of knowledge and skills, but you can use the same step-bystep road map to accomplish every one of them. 4
