Week 1: starting...
Nível 5 - CAE
If you’re taking this course, it means you’re preparing to take the CAE exam. As the
exam is divided in five parts, the course will follow the same division.
Besides studying for each of the papers (Reading, Writing, Use of English, Listening
and Speaking), you’ll also read 6 books.
In this first week, read the explanation about the exam. We really recommend you
read carefully, so that you can understand what the exam is all about.

Nível 5 - CAE
After this, let’s concentrate on Reading. First of all, take the diagnostic exam, called
Test Yourself. Your grade might not be as good as you’d like it to be, don’t worry. It’s a
diagnostic exam. After studying the skill for a few weeks, you’ll take another exam and
this time, your grade will be higher.
So, after this exam, read the explanation for Part 1 and take the 4 activities that follow.
Also read the explanation for Part 2 and take only the first activity.
Finish the week reading the introduction for the book Para-life Rescue!
We wish you a nice week 

multiple choice-questions about this article.
Reading / Part 3 / Activity 2. There are eight multiple-choice questions in which the
answer is implied. It means that the answer is not explicitly stated, so you have to
analyse it carefully before going for an answer.
Reading / Part 3 / Activity 3. Sometimes we don’t know the meaning of a word when
we’re reading a text. It’s really common and happens a lot even in our first language.
The point is: we can’t waste time concentrating on what we don’t know. In fact, the
other words we understand might help us sort out the hidden meaning of the new
vocabulary and this exercise deals exactly with this.

Nível 5 - CAE
Reading / Part 4 / Explanation. To accomplish this task, it’s important to understand detail,
attitude or opinion in a text.

underline useful collocations.
Vocabulary / Strategy 2 / Activity 1. In this first activity complete a text with one word
in each space.
Vocabulary / Strategy 2 / Activity 2. In the second activity complete the sentences

family is comprised of a word plus all its derived forms. In order to do this, it’s useful
to learn prefixes and suffixes.

Your job is to fill in the blanks with the antonym of each underlined word.

Extreme Skydiving / pages 2-3. Speed skydiving is an extreme form of skydiving.
Divers use science and a lot of imagination to try to free fall as fast as possible while
overcoming air resistance and terminal velocity. The world championship is held in
northern England annually. This year, one competitor has designed special air-resistant
trousers that he hopes will help him dive at the high speeds necessary to win.

Here is a tip: When we join two nouns together to form a compound noun, no
hyphen (-) is usually required. For example: paperclip. You may see a hyphen used
for some activities, such as bird-watching, or train-spotting. When we form a
compound adjective, we often need to insert a hyphen between the words we are
joining, especially when the two words are different types (noun + verb), such as:
radio-controlled. However, there is no clear rule about this.
