Firstof all, ifyou fancy awalk to the shops,be aware that this isn’t common inAmerica.Mostpeople shop in largemallsor superstores, such asWalmart, andwilldrive to reach these. In fact, in some cities, theopportunities for shopping ‘downtown’ in the city centre are limited. Ifyou’re looking for abargain,bear inmind that inAustria youpay thepriceyou seeon the label,but in theUSA this isnot necessarily the case.Dependingon the stateyou’re shopping in, you couldpayup to10%more thanyou’d expectedwhenyouget to the checkoutbecauseof theVAT 1 , so always checkbeforeyoubuy! On thepositive side, shoppers inAmericagenerally expectgood customer service, soyou shouldfind friendly andhelpful shop assistants. Ifyouneed to return an item,you canusuallydo so easily–noquestions asked.Assistantswilloften addressyoumore informally thanyoumaybeused to, callingyou ‘darling’or ‘honey’, and theymight stick around whilstyou’re shopping togiveyou adviceor recommendations.Youwilloften see shop assistants withheadsetswhichmake them look like theSecretService.Using these they can request items from thewarehouse 2 foryou ifyouneed adifferent sizeor colour.

Die Units sind in Unterthemen gegliedert, in welchen die verschiedenen sprachlichen Kompetenzen systematisch aufgebaut werden und auf niveaurelevante Language (Grammatik und Vokabular) eingegangen wird. Strategies boxes sollen Ihnen dabei helfen, mit verschiedenen Aufgabentypen und den Operatoren der Schreib- und Sprechaufträge vertraut zu werden. Längere Strategies -Abschnitte beinhalten umfangreichere Informationen auch zu Lern- und Arbeitsstrategien. Ein Strategies overview im Anhang fasst die wichtigsten Strategies -Inhalte aus way2go! 5 und 6 zusammen. Den Abschluss der Kapitel bilden Looking-back -Tabellen, die der Selbsteinschätzung Ihres Kompetenzstandes dienen. Die Beschreibungen, die Sie dort finden, entsprechen den Lernzielen bzw. Teilkompetenzen des Lehrplans. Um diese für Sie transparenter zu machen, wurden sie in way2go! möglichst kurz gehalten und mitunter auf mehrere Formulierungen aufgeteilt. In Klammern werden jene Aufgaben angeführt, die die jeweilige Teilkompetenz trainieren. Es sind immer nur die wichtigsten Teilkompetenzen des Kapitels angegeben, eine vollständige Liste finden Sie online. By the way bietet Ihnen interessante Informationen zu Aspekten des englischsprachigen Kulturkreises . Language boxes und längere Language- Abschnitte greifen aus dem Kontext wichtige grammatische Strukturen heraus, die wiederholt oder gelernt werden sollten. Auch Vokabel-Schwerpunkte werden so gekennzeichnet. Am Ende jeder Unit sammeln und erweitern Topic-vocabulary - Felder das für das angestrebte Sprachniveau relevante Themenvokabular.
