In this lesson Sts learn how to ask how much something is, and to say prices in pounds, dollars and euros. At this level, Sts need more practice in understanding prices than in saying them, as they are likely to have to understand prices if they travel.

Workbook 15-16

In this lesson, two dialogues with a tourist and a shopkeeper at a souvenir stand in New York City provide the context for introducing vocabulary for more small things. The Grammar then introduces the demonstrative pronouns this, that, these,
and those. In Pronunciation, Sts practice the voiced “th” sound /ð/ used in the demonstrative pronouns and the vowel sound /æ/, which is the sound in the word that. These topics are brought together in the fial speaking activity in which Sts practice asking and answering questions about a variety of objects.
