development of the four main language skills, we have
deployed an alternate pattern of "on" and "off" skills:
"on" skills are the ones that are developed through
subskills, and "off" skills are the ones that are practiced.
So every unit includes two types of skills sections: 1)
skills development sections for the "on" skills and 2)
skills practice sections for the "off" skills. Their pattern
is alternate; for example, the two "on" skills that are
developed in Unit 1 are then practiced in Unit 2 as "off"
skills, while the two "off" skills that are practiced in Unit 1
are developed in Unit 2 as "on" skills, and so on.
This alternate pattern of "on" and "off" skills sections is
clear in the layout of the contents pages, with the two
"on" skills sections in every unit highlighted.

many tickets for these talks, so it’s a good idea to buy them online as soon as

a good stadium, though. I often go to sports events."
"I live in Singapore, in a very busy neighborhood. I don't like it because it's noisy and there's a lot of
traffic. There's a shopping mall near my house, and I go there a lot. There are also museums and a movie

"I live In a nice neighborhood in the city of Montevideo, Uruguay. The neighborhood is pretty small, and
a lot of our neighbors are my friends. There aren't many big shopping malls near here, but there are some

My husband and I recently went to Ecuador with WTS, and we had a fantastic time. The mountains
around Quito were amazing, but the altitude was difficult for us! Our favorite thing was Iguana
Park in Guayaquil. Its real name is Bolivar Park, but our tour guide explained that everyone calls it
Iguana Park because there are hundreds o f iguanas there! W e took lots o f pictures o f them!
W e enjoyed everything on the tour, and we learned a lot about Ecuador’s culture and history. Our

A Read this magazine article. Why is the culture of New Orleans different from the
culture in other parts of the U.S.?
T
he biggest cultural influence in the U.S. is from Mexico and
Great Britain, but one exception to that is in New Orleans,
on the Mississippi River. In the 17th Century, the French explorer
LaSalle claimed the river for France, and in 1718, the French
founded New Orleans. The city became a favorite port for
pirates! In 1762, France ceded New Orleans to Spain, but in
1800, Spain returned the city to France. Finally, in 1803, France
sold the territory, including New Orleans, to the U.S.
Many Americans went to live in New Orleans, but
French speakers continued to dominate in the 19th
and early 2 0 th Centuries. They did not come only from
France, but also from Haiti (a former French possession)
and from Canada. The French-speaking Canadian
immigrants were Acadians (called Cajuns). The French,
the Cajun, and the Haitian cultures joined together to
create the unique architecture, cuisine, and music that
are famous in New Orleans today.

Answer
Because it has culltural influences from France, Haiti, and
Canada.
Dubai, on the Arabian Gulf, is an important international center of finance and tourism.
Many people think that Dubai's success is only because of its petroleum, but petroleum
is only one factor. In the 19th Century, Dubai became a major port and center of
commerce on shipping routes from India. It also had an enormous international
market for its pearls. Dubai was already a wealthy city, and the discovery of oil in
1966 made it much, much wealthier.
Sheikh Rashid, Dubai's leader since 1958, used oil money to modernize the
infrastructure of Dubai. He made Dubai a free port, and it became the major
business center for the region. Rashid also promoted Dubai as a tourist
destination. In the 1970s, Dubai joined with six other emirates to form the
United Arab Emirates. The UAE is now one of the richest nations in the world.

W hat was the role of Great Britain in the history of Hong Kong?
Before the 19th Century, the island of Hong Kong had a very small population. The residents were Chinese fishermen
(and a number of pirates!). In 1842, Britain defeated China in a war and took possession of the island of Hong Kong.
(The island gets its name from the abundance of flowers that grow there. "Hong Kong" means "fragrant harbor.") In
a second war, Britain took Kowloon, across the harbor from Hong Kong. Finally, in 1898, a large area next to Kowloon
also became British property. This annexation gave the British more space to expand the colony. Britain established a
major port in Hong Kong, and the city became famous for shipping, banking, and insurance. Many people immigrated
to Hong Kong from China in the 20th Century. In 1984, Britain agreed to return Hong Kong to China in 1997. On July 1,

he story o f the American automobile industry began on July 30, 1863, when
Henry Ford was born on a farm in Michigan. As a boy, Ford did not like school
or farm work, but he was interested in mechanical things. In 1879, when Ford was
16, he left home and moved to the city o f Detroit. He worked as a machinist there
for three years and then returned to his family’s farm. O n the farm, he operated and
repaired steam engines in farm machines. In 1891, he returned to Detroit and got a
job as an engineer. He began experimenting with internal combustion engines, and in
1896, he invented a vehicle called the Quadricycle. He experimented with different
vehicles for several more years, and in 1903, he started the Ford Motor Company.
Many people think Henry Ford invented the automobile, but he didn’t. Gottlieb
Daimler and Karl Benz invented vehicles powered by gasoline engines in 1885—
1886. Henry Ford actually became famous because he invented the assembly line, in
1913. At the new Ford automobile plant in Highland Park, Michigan, workers did
not move around the factory. T h e cars moved, but the workers stayed in one place.
This system was fast and efficient, and cars became less expensive. Ford sold more
than 15 million Model T cars from 1908 to 1927!
