Dear Teachers,
The Hellenic American Union (HAU) has been conducting open and fair language
examinations since 1957 as part of its broader institutional mission to promote the
teaching and learning of English as a Foreign Language. In pursuing this mission,
the HAU also supports research in language learning, testing and assessment, and
publishes examination preparation materials.
Preparation materials are produced for the following examinations:

The Examination for the Certificate of Proficiency in English (ECPE)

The Advanced Level Certificate in English (ALCE™)

The Examination for the Certificate of Competency in English (ECCE)

The Basic Communication Certificate in English (BCCE™)

Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC®)
The materials include both exam practice test books as well as books that target the
development of specific skills.
Great care is taken to ensure that our publications are up-to-date, relevant and on-
level. Exam-preparation material is produced in strict accordance with specifications
provided by the official testing bodies (University of Michigan, Educational Testing
Services, and Hellenic American University). Our practice test books are written by
professional test developers with experience in writing test items for major international
examining bodies, while the exam-skills series are written by professional writers
with years of classroom teaching experience.
We also provide free support materials such as English-Greek glossaries, sample
tests and other support materials. These are available to teachers and school
owners on the Hellenic American Union ORFEAS portal (http://orfeas.hau.gr). To
obtain an access code for this material, please contact the HAU Examinations and
Certifications Division.
In addition to its exam-preparation publications, the HAU also offers on-going
academic support to teachers. Such support can take the form of free training
workshops or school visits conducted by members of our academic support team.
Our editorial staff is in constant contact with teachers, students and school owners at
ELT book exhibitions, seminars, school visits, and conferences. This direct contact
with teachers and students provides us with valuable feedback that we use to ensure
that our publications meet the needs of teachers and candidates alike.
Best regards,
HAU Publications Department

Paraphrasing
Some questions will ask you to find information
that is paraphrased. This means the same idea is
expressed in a different way. Some ECCE items will
contain information that is similar to what is in the
text but that is expressed in different words. Your
challenge is to find which of the options correctly
describes the information in the text.
For example, the following phrase in section D
“... we estimate that we will receive 50% of the
tourists we usually get at our resort ...” can be
paraphrased as: “We won’t get as many visitors this
year.” Both phrases express the same idea.

We were originally planning on hiring five new instructors
but the drop in the annual snowfall has made us reconsider.
Since we estimate that we will receive 50% of the tourists we
usually get at our resort, we will be hiring only two new ski
instructors, who will work full-day shifts. You are one of the

Nowadays teenagers face many difficult
concerns. They often feel pressure from
others to take up bad habits like smoking
or to do something wrong. Many times
ce
teenagers get into trouble because of the influen
of peer pressure. Avoiding peer pressure is a
ed
challenging task for teenagers, but they can succe
with the guidance and support of their parents.
Peer pressure is one of the strongest—and most
prominent—influences in a teenager’s life. Mostand
young people want to be accepted by others
to belong to a group. They often feel pressured
to do things that other teenagers are doing,
even when they know it is wrong. This is a very
dangerous situation for them. It should be the s
responsibility of both the teenager and the parent
to deal with peer pressure appropriately.
out
Teenagers need to feel strong and figure things
on their own. If they know who they are, they
not
will make better decisions for themselves and play
be easily manipulated. Parents, however, should lves
a role in this. Teens need to believe in themse
and count on their parents to teach them to
n
make good decisions. Open communication betwee
of
teenagers and their parents is the best way
avoiding the bad effects of peer pressure.

New task
Sample pages from Unit 6
A Read the following excerpt of a letter to an editor about difficult friendships. Discuss why teens should learn to
voice their problems and / or concerns.
Topic: Difficult friendships
You are going to write an essay about difficult friendships.
Difficult friends might do things such as be noisy in public, either to
bother people on purpose or to simply get attention. Some teens don’t
like this behavior, but let it happen anyway, due to the fear of not being
accepted. I believe this is a very common problem among teens today
and we should encourage them to speak up when they are feeling
manipulated in order to rectify the problem.
1 Writing warm-up
A There are many teens who stay in difficult relationships. Sometimes they don’t even know they are in one
until it’s too late and bad behavior has become a habit. This can have negative effects on their self-esteem,
especially if the difficult friend manipulates the other friend. Read the dialogue below.
●
Who is being the difficult friend? How is Brad manipulating Nicky?
●
Do you think Nicky has high self-esteem? Why/Why not?
Brad:
Hey, that’s a cool MP3 player. Can I borrow it?
B Focus question
Read the task below and write one focus question based on the excerpt above that you will answer with your
essay.
Nicky: Um, I don’t know. My mother just bought it for
me for my birthday. I’ve hardly used it.

What are some ways teens can boost their confidence and cope

with examples.
Oh, come on, man. I promise I’ll give it back to
you tomorrow.
