Action Pack is a twelve-level course for Jordanian students, leading them from the
Basic to the Secondary stage. It is based on the most modern methods of teaching
language, combining a topic-based approach with functional language practice, careful
attention to grammar and vocabulary and a comprehensive skills syllabus.

This level is for Grade 8 students.

The Action Pack series offers learners:

• modern, interesting and relevant topics
• a clear and systematic approach to grammar, with thorough practice
• integrated skills which work with a particular focus on reading and writing
• consistent building and recycling of vocabulary
• special sections devoted to functional and situational language
• project work at the end of every module
• the development of critical thinking skills

Each level of Action Pack consists of a Student’s Book, an Audio Cassette, an Activity
Book and a comprehensive Teacher’s Book.

Talking about sports

1 Read the text below about Ibrahim’s favourite sport. What sports do you do?
In groups, talk about the sports you do. Make a list in your notebook of the
words you need to talk about and that you don’t know in English.
2 Write down notes. Answer these questions to help you.
a. When did you become interested in this sport?
b. What clothes/equipment do you need? What are the basic rules: what do
you have to do and what can’t you do?
c. How often do you play it? Where? Do you watch this sport on TV? Do you
go to matches? Why do you like it?
3 Use your notes to write three paragraphs in your notebook. Use the text as a
model.

I started playing beach volleyball last summer, when I

went to California with my family.
In beach volleyball there are two teams of two players.
The players wear T-shirts and shorts, but you don’t have
to wear shoes. You have to hit the ball over a net with your
hands, but you cannot touch the net. Teams can’t touch the
ball more than three times before it crosses the net. Players
can’t touch the ball twice in a row. A team scores when the
ball touches the ground on the opponents’ court. The first team
to win two sets wins the match.
Now, I do indoor volleyball. Playing indoors is tough
because the floor is harder than the sand. When volleyball
is on TV, I always watch it.

 Test A

Read the following article.

Scientists discovered that it is possible to change living things – such as

animals, vegetables and fruits – by working on their genes. Genes are found
in the cells of every living thing. They store information about the living thing
they are part of, for example, what it looks like and how it grows.
The world’s population is growing, and one day, there may not be enough
food for everyone. If scientists are able to change the genes of animals and
plants, there will be enough food for many more people. For example,
potatoes cannot grow in very cold places. However, some living things,
like certain fish, do live in extremely cold places without being harmed. If
scientists can find the genes that help these fish to survive, they might be
able to transfer the genes to potatoes. Then potatoes could grow in very cold
places. This would mean there is food for more people around the world.
However, some people think that changing genes in living things is not a good
idea. They argue that there may be risks that we do not know about which
might affect our health and environment. What do you think?

 Test B

Read the following article about Arab buildings.

Arab buildings are famous for certain special features. These include the use of
light, geometry and water.
Light is an important feature in Islamic design. It shines down onto the special
geometric patterns that can be found inside many Arab buildings. These
patterns are usually created using basic shapes that are repeated hundreds of
times to make one big piece of art.
Outside in the courtyards of many Arab buildings, there are fountains. Water
symbolises life. It is also an important reminder of cleansing for Muslims, who
purify themselves using water before entering the mosque.
Next time you see an Arab building, think about its features and the important
tradition they belong to.
