About the Students’ Book
The course has eight main modules and a Get Ready revision module at the start to get students to use language from
New Challenges 1 and 2. At the end of the book there is a magazine section related to the units with fun activities like
puzzles, games and reading for pleasure. Each module starts with a Get Ready page which introduces the module topic.
There are then three main lessons. In odd-numbered modules, there are Across Culture lessons and in even-numbered
modules, there are Your Challenge and Understanding Grammar spots. Each module finishes with a Language Check and
a Study Corner with learner development activities to help students become better learners.
New features in Students’ Book 3
Speak Out
These sections give students the chance to express their personal views about topics and ideas presented in the units.
For example, in Module 1 students are asked to give their opinions about their own school environment (page 9,
Exercise 6), about an alternative type of school described in the Unit (page 10, Exercise 3) and about their school rules
(page 13, Exercise 12).
Word Bank
E
Other features in Students’ Book 3
U
N
IT
The Word Bank (pages 106–111) provides a module-by-module study and reference resource for students to use during
lessons and for revision purposes. It lists and expands vocabulary from the Module under headings such as Multi-part
Verbs, Collocations, Prepositions, Compounds and Word Building as well as grouping vocabulary in word families, e.g.
Cooking (Module 3).
Vocabulary is presented with definitions and example sentences using the words or phrases in context, e.g. take part in
something do an activity with other people: I take part in the school sports day every year. (Module 1)
During lessons, students are referred to the Word Bank to develop their word building skills (e.g. Module 1, Unit 2,
Exercises 8, 9 and 10, page 13); to expand word families (e.g. Module 3, Across Cultures, Exercise 8, page 37) and to
check their answers to an exercise (e.g. Module 3, Unit 8, Exercise 9, page 33).
Helps
Everyday Listening
M
PL
These sections offer advice that students then put into practice in reading, writing, listening and speaking activities.
The Help sections cover reading skills such as scanning for information (Module 1, page 13), writing skills such as getting
ideas for emails, letters and postcards (Module 2, page 26), listening skills such as listening for specific information
(Module 4, page 45) and speaking skills such as preparation for roleplays (Module 3, page 35).
Text Builder
SA
These sections give students the opportunity to listen to English in everyday situations, such as interviews for holiday
jobs (Module 2, Unit 6, page 25), phone calls (Module 4, Unit 12, page 45) and announcements (Module 1, Unit 3, page
15). The exercises train students to listen as we do in real life, for example for specific facts and key information.
These sections occur in Your Challenge (Modules 2, 4, 6 and 8). They build on the sentence level skills that students
practised in the Sentence Builders in New Challenges 1 and 2. Text Builders focus on important features of whole
‘texts’, such as paragraph topics (Module 2, page 26), reference words (Module 4, page 46) and linkers (Module 8, page
86).
Fact or Fiction?
The Fact or Fiction? texts provide short real-life contexts related to the module topic. Students decide whether they
think the information is true or false. Sometimes students can use their general knowledge (e.g. page 23, the first
woman to win a Nobel Prize). Sometimes students have to guess (e.g. page 43, the percentage of American parents who
say they have the same values as their children and vice versa). Encourage students to discuss and give reasons for their
guesses.
The Time Out magazine
ii
At the back of the Students’ Book there is the Time Out section, a set of ‘fun’ activities and puzzles in a magazine
format. There are twenty-four activities in the magazine, one for each of the twenty-four core units in the Students’
Book. Students can do the activities working individually, in pairs or in small groups.
The magazine activities are designed to be used when there is time after students have completed a related activity in
the Unit, at the end of a Unit or at home. The magazine recycles language and topics of the Units in new contexts and
authentic, motivating activities such as puzzles (e.g. Activity 4, page 94), quizzes (e.g. Activity 7, page 95) and stories
(Activities 16–18, pages 100–101).

How to use this Handbook
This Handbook contains reduced pages from the Students’ Book, together with teaching suggestions, background
information on the content of the Unit, pronunciation guidance for difficult names and places, audioscripts, answers to
exercises and ideas for extra activities; it also includes the answers for the Workbook.
The Handbook will help you plan your lessons and is handy for use during lessons.
Module objectives
The module objectives are listed at the top of the first page of each Module in the Students’ Book.
When starting a Module, read through the objectives with the students and check that they understand any new
vocabulary, e.g. ‘announcements’ in Module 1, ‘abilities’ in Module 2. If appropriate, ask students to discuss any of
the activities they have done, using their own language or English, e.g. ‘writing emails’ (Module 2). Encourage students
to say what they remember about any of the grammar points they have studied in the past, e.g. Present Simple and
Present Continuous (Module 1).
At the end of a Module, ask students to read the objectives again. Help students assess how well they have achieved the
objectives and to say which objectives they found easy or more difficult to achieve.
Background information
IT
Background Information provides facts and information about aspects of the social and cultural content of the Units. It
is intended primarily for the teacher but is helpful when students ask about events, people and places mentioned in a
Unit, e.g. Eton and Roedean (Module 1, Unit 2, page 12).
Ways of checking answers
PL
E
U
N
Students can work in pairs or small groups.
Try to vary how you check students’ answers to exercises:
• If spelling is important, ask students to spell the words for you to write on the board or invite students to come to
the board and write the answers on the board.
• Alternatively, ask students to read aloud the answers. If necessary, correct any serious pronunciation problems.
• At times you may prefer to write the answers on the board yourself for students to check their own answers.
• Students self-check the answers to some exercises, such as pair activities (e.g. page 83, Exercise 11) and quizzes (e.g.
page 37, Exercise 10) by referring to the answers given in the book and to the Language Check by listening to the CD.
Extra activities
SA
M
Use the short Extra activities if there is time in the lesson. These activities develop from the content of the Students’
Book and are intended to give a change of focus and help student motivation and concentration.
Extra activities include:
• activities developing from a reading text, e.g. Module 2, Unit 4, after Exercise 4, page 20
• activities developing from a listening text, e.g. Module 2, Unit 6, after Everyday Listening, Exercise 2, page 25
• activities practising a language point from the lesson, e.g. Module 2, Unit 5, after Exercise 5, page 22
Digital components
New Challenges offers teachers digital material to support learning in a variety of different ways.
• New Challenges ActiveTeach: an interactive version of the Students’ Book suitable for using with any IWB or simply
with a computer and projector. Using the touch-sensitive screen of the interactive whiteboard, you can easily
integrate audio, video and interactive activities into your lessons to motivate your whole class. Includes games,
all the audio for the Students’ Book and Workbook, the New Challenges DVD, the Word Bank and more teacher’s
resources – in short, all the New Challenges resources at the click of a button!
• New Challenges Teacher’s Resources MultiROM: includes Teacher Development Workshops, photocopiable resources,
a DVD and DVD worksheets. It also contains print ready tests and easily customisable tests with answer keys.

Challenge
Challenge In The Classroom
The characters in the story provide positive role models
for teenage students because they are doing something
worthwhile and overcoming personal and group problems
to achieve their goals. The story provides a springboard
for education in citizenship: making students aware
of their rights and responsibilities; helping others and
working for the community; being a good citizen.
The Students’ Book
Organisation
New Challenges has a topic-based approach. It enables
students to learn about the world through English and to
learn the language at the same time.
IT
The course is divided into eight main modules plus a Get
Ready module. The Get Ready module gets students to use
language from New Challenges 1 and 2, familiarises them
with the course and develops their awareness as learners.
The themes in the main modules:
N
1 are related to students’ own world (e.g. schools,
health, the generation gap, music, films)
U
2 are cross-curricular (e.g. famous women in history, the
history of medicine, musical instruments, literature,
inventions, prehistory)
3 develop citizenship education (e.g. learning about
people around the world, rights and responsibilities of
teenagers)
E
We first thought of the title of this book after speaking to
the inspired (and inspiring) head teacher of a secondary
school in a working class district outside Warsaw. He
was talking to us about all the problems his school
faced and, despite them, the many achievements of his
students inside and outside the classroom. They took
part in science olympiads, sporting events, choirs, youth
orchestras, theatre groups, chess competitions and many
other activities. This demonstrated the kind of enthusiasm
and challenge we wanted to inspire in our own material.
Our definition of a ‘challenge’ is a task that, while not
easy to accomplish, is worthwhile and rewarding.
A challenge requires patience, hard work and the ability
to overcome problems. Many challenges also involve
working with other people as a team to achieve goals that
would be impossible to reach as an individual.
For many years, in both society and education, there
has been a tendency to focus on activities that give
instant reward and success. However, more and more
young people are taking part in challenging activities
like popular marathons, expeditions, extreme sports and
voluntary work. Even in the unlikely world of computer
gaming, game designers have found that the most
popular games are those that are the most difficult, hence
the expression ‘hard fun’. The conclusion must be that a
challenge is often fun because it is not easy; people enjoy
being stretched and challenged.
4 are about other cultures around the world (e.g.
schools, food, nomads, music)
M
PL
Within the English language classroom there is one
obvious challenge: learning a foreign language in a few
hours a week within a school context. The challenge is
there for students (and teachers) whether we like it or not.
It may sometimes look insurmountable but it is not if we
break it down into a series of smaller tasks or ‘challenges’.
SA
In New Challenges, each module contains a series of
grammar and skills activities and builds towards final
speaking, writing and listening tasks in which students can
use the language they have learnt. Because these tasks
are achievable, they build students’ confidence as well as
laying the foundations for communicative competence.
In parallel, there are learner development activities, such
as self-checks at the end of each module that encourage
students to be aware of how well they are progressing
towards the greater challenge of learning English.
The theme of ‘challenge’ is also present in such topics
in New Challenges 3 as the achievements of talented
women in history, dealing with teenage problems and the
harshness of a nomadic lifestyle. In addition, the story
focuses on how a group of teenage characters, at both a
group and personal level, take part in challenges. In New
Challenges 3, the characters are at a school of performing
arts: they have to do auditions, perform a piece of music
and a song, make a film and give a presentation.
In New Challenges 3, the eight main modules are
organised like this:
1 a Get Ready page introduces students to the topic
2 the first lesson presents grammar through reading texts
and gives plenty of practice
3 the second lesson develops reading, presents
vocabulary and practises speaking
4 the third lesson develops the story and has a major
focus on speaking and listening
5 odd-numbered modules have Across Cultures lessons
with reading, speaking and a project
6 even-numbered modules have Your Challenge spots
with writing tasks and Understanding Grammar spots
7 at the end of every module there is a language check
and learner development spot
At the end of the book there is Time Out, a magazine
section related to the lessons with fun activities like
puzzles, games and reading for pleasure. Students can do
the activities if they finish early in class or at home. There
is also a Word Bank organised by lexical features (Multipart Verbs, Word Families, Compounds etc.). Students can
use this section to do activities in the coursebook and as a
reference to revise and increase their own vocabulary.

Approach
Grammar
• Key Expressions are related to key functional areas from
B.1.1 and some of those from B.1.2 in the Common
European Framework (e.g. expressing belief, opinion,
agreement and disagreement politely).
• There are other useful phrases in the story dialogues.
These are focused on in the Workbook.
In New Challenges 3, grammar is the first lesson in each
module.
• Grammar is presented in context. Students read a variety
of texts and then focus on the structures.
• First there is a focus on form. Then students work out,
in a guided way, how to use the new structure.
• Practice moves from easier, more guided exercises on
form to freer speaking and writing tasks.
• The final activity (Your Turn) gives students an
opportunity to use the grammar to talk about their own
lives.
• There are four Understanding Grammar sections that
focus on problematic areas such as question tags.
• In the Study Corner, students test their knowledge and
are guided to remedial exercises.
• The main pronunciation spot is in the Everyday Listening
section. Pronunciation focuses on difficult sounds for
students (e.g. /t/, /d/, /θ/ and /ð/).
• Listen closely, also in the Everyday Listening section, looks
at supra-segmental pronunciation work. One of the
biggest problems students have with listening to natural
English speech is actually hearing words and expressions,
as many words just seem to disappear. Listen closely
tasks at this level focus on stress in common phrases,
contractions, unstressed function words (e.g. a/are/of/
have) and word boundaries.
Sentence Builders
Skills
IT
U
N
• In New Challenges 3, skills activities are guided,
structured and, wherever possible, integrated with
other skills.
• There are speaking activities in every lesson and
tasks always use language that has been presented to
students (vocabulary, grammar and Key Expressions).
Students are given time to think about their ideas and
prepare for speaking as well as time to report back to
the class.
• There are at least three reading texts per module.
Text types include: magazine articles/letters; letters,
emails and notes; extracts from non-fiction; interviews;
questionnaires; travel brochures; stories; and
biographies. There is also extra reading in the Time Out
magazine.
• There are three listening tasks in every module. First
there is a gist listening in the Get Ready section. In
the story unit, students read and listen to dialogues
which help them see the relation between spoken
language and its written form. The Everyday Listening
has both extensive and intensive tasks. Listen closely
and Pronunciation tasks develop learners’ ability to
distinguish sounds, words and expressions.
• There is writing in every module. In odd-numbered
modules, there are projects which students can either
do in pairs or on their own. Projects give students
a chance to write about their own world and to be
creative. There are clear models and stages. In evennumbered modules, Your Challenge spots focus on
more interactive writing: an email; short notes; a film
review; a biography. Students are given clear models
and the writing tasks are carefully staged. Text Builders
focus on the structure of the target text and on linking
words and expressions.
M
PL
E
• Sentence structure has often been neglected in ELT
even though most language groups have quite different
syntax from that in English (e.g. verb position in Slav
languages; adjective position in Latin languages). L1
interference causes mistakes of word order and these
are usually more serious than other mistakes because
they affect understanding.
• Sentence Builders focus on sentence structure which is
often related to the main grammar (e.g. while and when
related to past tenses).
• Target patterns appear in texts, are explicitly focused on
in Sentence Builders and are then practised in guided
exercises. Sentence Builders can be used as a pattern
bank to help students when revising.
Pronunciation
Lexis
SA
• Key Word boxes in New Challenges 3 cover lexical
areas such as schools, abilities, health, food, places,
transport, jobs, films, personality, feelings, music and
science. Key Words help students to understand both
reading and listening texts and give them essential
vocabulary for writing and speaking tasks.
• Word Builders focus on key lexical features and help
build up students’ capacity to organise and learn English
vocabulary. Lexical features include multi-part verbs
(e.g. take up an activity), the delexicalised verbs make
and do (e.g. make your bed), dependent prepositions
(e.g. study for), verbs with prepositions (e.g. live in),
word families (e.g. boil/fry/grill), confusing words
(e.g. actually and now) and compound nouns and
adjectives (e.g. campsite and well-known). These spots
also focus on wordbuilding (e.g. adjective suffixes, noun
suffixes, adjectival prefixes).
• The Word Bank provides a reference for all of the
lexical features in New Challenges 3 and also contains
the lexical features that students looked at in the
previous two levels of New Challenges.
v
A01_CHAL_TRB_03GLB_8484_PRE.indd 5
10/10/2011 10:27
Culture
There is cultural input throughout the book.
•
The story also provides cultural insights into the lives of
the four characters who are at the school of performing
arts in Norwich and visit different places in Norfolk.
•
The Across Cultures sections deal with different cultures.
Learners write projects about their own culture using the
language of the reading texts.
•
With each of the three main units, there is a
corresponding spot in the Time Out magazine. This
means that, when students finish early or have time to
spare, they can do a game, puzzle or quiz in the Time
Out section.
•
In the Study Corner, students test what they have learnt
in the Language Check and then listen and check their
answers. In the Feedback section, they can find out what
areas they need to study more and are referred to the
Workbook for further practice.
•
Finally, the Study Help systematically develops study
skills. In New Challenges 3, there are spots about:
similar words; storing words/expressions; memorising
vocabulary; explaining words; self-assessment.
Learner Development
•
One of the greatest challenges for students is to become
better learners and to learn to study English on their
own. Several features encourage learner independence
in New Challenges 3.
•
On the Get Ready page, the objectives box clearly shows
students what they are going to learn in the module.

3 Although this film is 163 minutes long, it never
gets boring because the special effects are
extraordinary. It’s one of the most expensive films
ever made and the use of CGI plus 3D is brilliant.
However, the characters aren’t always convincing
and some of the script is unnatural as well. Also,
I found the environmental message annoying.

The Sami live in northern Scandinavia. Most
of them now have ‘normal’ jobs in towns and
cities but some carry on their traditional way of
life. In early summer, they go on a long journey
north with their reindeers. The Sami take them
far into the Arctic Circle to find grass and plants
to eat. When autumn begins, they take the
reindeers south again. Nowadays, the Sami use
snowmobiles and mobile phones when they are
looking after their animals. However, they still
wear their colourful costumes and sing their
traditional songs.
The word ‘Bedouin’ means ‘desert inhabitant’. Many Bedouins
live in towns in Arabia and North Africa but some still
make trips into the desert to get food for their camels. The
camels, or ‘ships of the desert’, carry everything and provide
food (milk and meat) and shelter (wool for tents). Bedouin
hospitality is famous: they give strangers food and water.
Bedouins know many tricks to find water. For example, when
they see insects or birds, they know water is usually near.

The Moken are often called ‘sea gypsies’. Some follow their
traditional lifestyle in the coastal areas of Thailand and
Myanmar. During the rainy season, when the sea is rough,
they live in huts on the beach but for the rest of the year they 30
live on their boats. They catch seafood and sell it in fishing
villages. Moken children learn to swim before they can walk.
They can see underwater twice as clearly as the rest of us and
can stay underwater twice as long! The Moken people know
the sea very well – before the tsunami in 2005, they left the sea 35
and looked for high ground.

The Workbook
The Workbook gives further practice of the language
introduced in the Students’ Book. Each unit directly reflects
the content of the corresponding unit of the Students’ Book.
Groups of Key Words and lexical features from Word Builders
are recycled and practised on the Get Ready page and in
the Skills unit. Grammar structures and uses are practised
in the Grammar unit and exercises are graded according
to difficulty with a one-, two- and three-star system. There
is also a handy Grammar Reference section at the back of
the book. Reading and writing skills are practised in the
Skills unit, which also includes a focus on punctuation. The
Language Check in each module acts as a follow-up to the
Language Quiz in the Study Corner of the Students’ Book.
Alternate modules of the Workbook finish with a Reading
Corner, which can be used as a ‘reading for pleasure’ activity
or to give further reading comprehension practice. There
are extra listening activities on every Get Ready page and in
the Skills unit. The recordings are on the New Challenges 3
Workbook audio CD.

• Check that students

schooling in Britain, e.g.
‘match’, ‘abilities’ and

• Students suggest how home
schooling differs from their

Who can do it? Any parent can decide to teach their
children at home. You don’t have to be a teacher.
Why do it? You can match the day to your children’s interests,
abilities and learning styles. Children learn at their own speed
with people they know and love.

John I’m John Watts, a reporter for the

Leah is ten and they learn at home
with their mum. Sally, can you tell
me about home schooling?
Sally Yes, I can. Today is a typical day.
Leah is in the garden. She’s drawing
plants and writing about them. She
loves the natural world. Every Friday
she goes to a nature club with other
kids. They learn about animals and
the environment.
John Who decides what she does?
Sally Here she is – why don’t you ask her?
John Hi, Leah. Who decides what you do
every day?
Leah I do. I talk to Mum about the things
that I’m interested in and she helps
me. It’s great! I don’t have formal
lessons so I’m never bored. Today
I’m making a poster about plants
for my nature club.
John That sounds interesting. What about
you, Ned?
It’s different for me now because I’m studying for
three exams: maths, English and science. I chose
the subjects and Mum’s helping me to study and
revise. Today I’m doing some practice exams. Twice

What is it? Home schooling is when parents teach their
children. In Britain, about 50, 000 students learn at home.
M
Warm-up
Home
Schooling
SA
The concept of home schooling
is completely alien in many
countries and you may like to
share student reactions to the
idea in class. As the text states,
only a relatively small number
of children are educated
at home in Britain but the
number is growing.
The law on home schooling
in the UK is very flexible and,
as the text states, it is not
necessary for either parent to
be a qualified teacher. The only
condition is that children must
receive a full-time education
appropriate to their age. Local
authorities may at times check
informally that a child being
educated at home is indeed
receiving tuition and may take
action if they believe that
parents are not complying with
the law.
More detailed information
about home schooling in
the UK is available on the
Internet by searching for ‘home
schooling’ at:
www.direct.gov.uk

Three houses. Girls share rooms in
groups. Fees: approx. £24,000 per year.

1300 boys aged thirteen to eighteen. Twenty-five
houses. No dormitories; pupils have their own
study-bedrooms. Fees: approx. £26,000 per year.
UWC
Warm-up
1 UWC is a movement consisting of thirteen schools and colleges
and over 120 national committees, which can be found in
five continents. German educationalist, Kurt Hahn, had the
idea for the international colleges during the 1950s’ Cold
War. He believed that young people from all over the world,
learning and living together, could help to build international
understanding and world peace.
2 On 19th September 1962, the first school, UWC Atlantic
College, was opened in Wales. UWC Atlantic College is
a mixed boarding school and has 350 students aged from
sixteen to nineteen years old. It is more diverse than most
schools: the students come from as many as eighty different
countries. Life at UWC Atlantic College is not as formal as at
some boarding schools. Students don’t wear a uniform and there
are no compulsory sports or competitions between the houses.
3 In addition to academic work, UWC students take part in
community service. Every student must take up a voluntary
activity for two afternoons or evenings a week. UWC Atlantic
College students can choose from a wide range of activities and
services. For example, they can help with sea and beach rescue;
work on the college farm where they learn to grow food and
take care of the environment or organise activities for disabled
children.
4 At UWC Atlantic College, the students live in seven houses.
Each house has beds for about forty-eight students and,
usually, four students from different countries share a room.
Houseparents live with the students and take care of them. The
rooms are quite simple and the students share bathrooms. Each
student house has a living room with a small kitchen and study
rooms. Breakfast, lunch and dinner take place in a beautiful
twelfth-century dining room.

Background
Depending on your students’
educational background, they
may find the information in
the text more or less surprising.
Many countries have state
education systems which
are offered to all students,
although private education
in various shapes and
forms is also very common.
Examination systems vary
substantially from country to
country and students may be
relatively unfamiliar with the
concept of public exams.
After Exercise 5 you might like
to try to answer any questions
which the students wrote
in the Warm-up and which
remain unanswered by the
main text.

State education is free so the schools
pay for teachers, books, exam fees
and any special equipment for
science, etc. We (parents) pay for
school uniforms and things like rulers,
calculators. Also, schools charge for
extras like school trips. About ninety
per cent of British students go to a
state school.

Here, students start primary school when
they are five and move to secondary school
when they are eleven. At sixteen, students take

Most schools are comprehensive so they
don’t have an entrance exam. Secondary
schools usually have a uniform. Some
schools have simple uniforms with, for
example, a shirt, sweatshirt and a dark
skirt or trousers. Other schools have more
formal uniforms with jackets and ties.

Introduc ion to New Challenges
About the Students’ Book
The course has eight main modules and a Get Ready revision module at the start to get students to use language from
New Challenges 1 and 2. At the end of the book there is a magazine section related to the units with fun activities like
puzzles, games and reading for pleasure. Each module starts with a Get Ready page which introduces the module topic.
There are then three main lessons. In odd-numbered modules, there are Across Culture lessons and in even-numbered
modules, there are Your Challenge and Understanding Grammar spots. Each module finishes with a Language Check and
a Study Corner with learner development activities to help students become better learners.
New features in Students’ Book 3
Speak Out
These sections give students the chance to express their personal views about topics and ideas presented in the units.
For example, in Module 1 students are asked to give their opinions about their own school environment (page 9,
Exercise 6), about an alternative type of school described in the Unit (page 10, Exercise 3) and about their school rules
(page 13, Exercise 12).
Word Bank
E
Other features in Students’ Book 3
U
N
IT
The Word Bank (pages 106–111) provides a module-by-module study and reference resource for students to use during
lessons and for revision purposes. It lists and expands vocabulary from the Module under headings such as Multi-part
Verbs, Collocations, Prepositions, Compounds and Word Building as well as grouping vocabulary in word families, e.g.
Cooking (Module 3).
Vocabulary is presented with definitions and example sentences using the words or phrases in context, e.g. take part in
something do an activity with other people: I take part in the school sports day every year. (Module 1)
During lessons, students are referred to the Word Bank to develop their word building skills (e.g. Module 1, Unit 2,
Exercises 8, 9 and 10, page 13); to expand word families (e.g. Module 3, Across Cultures, Exercise 8, page 37) and to
check their answers to an exercise (e.g. Module 3, Unit 8, Exercise 9, page 33).

Everyday Listening

PL
These sections offer advice that students then put into practice in reading, writing, listening and speaking activities.
The Help sections cover reading skills such as scanning for information (Module 1, page 13), writing skills such as getting
ideas for emails, letters and postcards (Module 2, page 26), listening skills such as listening for specific information
(Module 4, page 45) and speaking skills such as preparation for roleplays (Module 3, page 35).
Text Builder
SA
These sections give students the opportunity to listen to English in everyday situations, such as interviews for holiday
jobs (Module 2, Unit 6, page 25), phone calls (Module 4, Unit 12, page 45) and announcements (Module 1, Unit 3, page
15). The exercises train students to listen as we do in real life, for example for specific facts and key information.
These sections occur in Your Challenge (Modules 2, 4, 6 and 8). They build on the sentence level skills that students
practised in the Sentence Builders in New Challenges 1 and 2. Text Builders focus on important features of whole
‘texts’, such as paragraph topics (Module 2, page 26), reference words (Module 4, page 46) and linkers (Module 8, page
86).
Fact or Fiction?
The Fact or Fiction? texts provide short real-life contexts related to the module topic. Students decide whether they
think the information is true or false. Sometimes students can use their general knowledge (e.g. page 23, the first
woman to win a Nobel Prize). Sometimes students have to guess (e.g. page 43, the percentage of American parents who
say they have the same values as their children and vice versa). Encourage students to discuss and give reasons for their
guesses.
The Time Out magazine
ii
At the back of the Students’ Book there is the Time Out section, a set of ‘fun’ activities and puzzles in a magazine
format. There are twenty-four activities in the magazine, one for each of the twenty-four core units in the Students’
Book. Students can do the activities working individually, in pairs or in small groups.
The magazine activities are designed to be used when there is time after students have completed a related activity in
the Unit, at the end of a Unit or at home. The magazine recycles language and topics of the Units in new contexts and
authentic, motivating activities such as puzzles (e.g. Activity 4, page 94), quizzes (e.g. Activity 7, page 95) and stories
(Activities 16–18, pages 100–101).

exercises and ideas for extra activities; it also includes the answers for the Workbook.
The Handbook will help you plan your lessons and is handy for use during lessons.
Module objectives
The module objectives are listed at the top of the first page of each Module in the Students’ Book.
When starting a Module, read through the objectives with the students and check that they understand any new
vocabulary, e.g. ‘announcements’ in Module 1, ‘abilities’ in Module 2. If appropriate, ask students to discuss any of
the activities they have done, using their own language or English, e.g. ‘writing emails’ (Module 2). Encourage students
to say what they remember about any of the grammar points they have studied in the past, e.g. Present Simple and
Present Continuous (Module 1).
At the end of a Module, ask students to read the objectives again. Help students assess how well they have achieved the
objectives and to say which objectives they found easy or more difficult to achieve.
Background information
IT
Background Information provides facts and information about aspects of the social and cultural content of the Units. It
is intended primarily for the teacher but is helpful when students ask about events, people and places mentioned in a
Unit, e.g. Eton and Roedean (Module 1, Unit 2, page 12).
Ways of checking answers
Extra activities
M
PL
E
U
N
Students can work in pairs or small groups.
Try to vary how you check students’ answers to exercises:
• If spelling is important, ask students to spell the words for you to write on the board or invite students to come to
the board and write the answers on the board.
• Alternatively, ask students to read aloud the answers. If necessary, correct any serious pronunciation problems.
• At times you may prefer to write the answers on the board yourself for students to check their own answers.
• Students self-check the answers to some exercises, such as pair activities (e.g. page 83, Exercise 11) and quizzes (e.g.
page 37, Exercise 10) by referring to the answers given in the book and to the Language Check by listening to the CD.
SA
Use the short Extra activities if there is time in the lesson. These activities develop from the content of the Students’
Book and are intended to give a change of focus and help student motivation and concentration.
Extra activities include:
• activities developing from a reading text, e.g. Module 2, Unit 4, after Exercise 4, page 20
• activities developing from a listening text, e.g. Module 2, Unit 6, after Everyday Listening, Exercise 2, page 25
• activities practising a language point from the lesson, e.g. Module 2, Unit 5, after Exercise 5, page 22
Digital components
New Challenges offers teachers digital material to support learning in a variety of different ways.

Challenge
Challenge In The Classroom
The characters in the story provide positive role models
for teenage students because they are doing something
worthwhile and overcoming personal and group problems
to achieve their goals. The story provides a springboard
for education in citizenship: making students aware
of their rights and responsibilities; helping others and
working for the community; being a good citizen.
The Students’ Book
Organisation
New Challenges has a topic-based approach. It enables
students to learn about the world through English and to
learn the language at the same time.
IT
The course is divided into eight main modules plus a Get
Ready module. The Get Ready module gets students to use
language from New Challenges 1 and 2, familiarises them
with the course and develops their awareness as learners.
The themes in the main modules:
N
1 are related to students’ own world (e.g. schools,
health, the generation gap, music, films)
U
2 are cross-curricular (e.g. famous women in history, the
history of medicine, musical instruments, literature,
inventions, prehistory)
3 develop citizenship education (e.g. learning about
people around the world, rights and responsibilities of
teenagers)
E
We first thought of the title of this book after speaking to
the inspired (and inspiring) head teacher of a secondary
school in a working class district outside Warsaw. He
was talking to us about all the problems his school
faced and, despite them, the many achievements of his
students inside and outside the classroom. They took
part in science olympiads, sporting events, choirs, youth
orchestras, theatre groups, chess competitions and many
other activities. This demonstrated the kind of enthusiasm
and challenge we wanted to inspire in our own material.
Our definition of a ‘challenge’ is a task that, while not
easy to accomplish, is worthwhile and rewarding.
A challenge requires patience, hard work and the ability
to overcome problems. Many challenges also involve
working with other people as a team to achieve goals that
would be impossible to reach as an individual.
For many years, in both society and education, there
has been a tendency to focus on activities that give
instant reward and success. However, more and more
young people are taking part in challenging activities
like popular marathons, expeditions, extreme sports and
voluntary work. Even in the unlikely world of computer
gaming, game designers have found that the most
popular games are those that are the most difficult, hence
the expression ‘hard fun’. The conclusion must be that a
challenge is often fun because it is not easy; people enjoy
being stretched and challenged.
4 are about other cultures around the world (e.g.
schools, food, nomads, music)
M
PL
Within the English language classroom there is one
obvious challenge: learning a foreign language in a few
hours a week within a school context. The challenge is
there for students (and teachers) whether we like it or not.
It may sometimes look insurmountable but it is not if we
break it down into a series of smaller tasks or ‘challenges’.
SA
In New Challenges, each module contains a series of
grammar and skills activities and builds towards final
speaking, writing and listening tasks in which students can
use the language they have learnt. Because these tasks
are achievable,, they build students’ confidence as well as
laying the foundations for communicative competence.
In parallel, there are learner development activities, such
as self-checks at the end of each module that encourage
students to be aware of how well they are progressing
towards the greater challenge of learning English.
The theme of ‘challenge’ is also present in such topics
in New Challenges 3 as the achievements of talented
women in history, dealing with teenage problems and the
harshness of a nomadic lifestyle. In addition, the story
focuses on how a group of teenage characters, at both a
group and personal level, take part in challenges. In New
Challenges 3, the characters are at a school of performing
arts: they have to do auditions, perform a piece of music
and a song, make a film and give a presentation.
In New Challenges 3, the eight main modules are
organised like this:
1 a Get Ready page introduces students to the topic
2 the first lesson presents grammar through reading texts
and gives plenty of practice
3 the second lesson develops reading, presents
vocabulary and practises speaking
4 the third lesson develops the story and has a major
focus on speaking and listening
5 odd-numbered modules have Across Cultures lessons
with reading, speaking and a project
6 even-numbered modules have Your Challenge spots
with writing tasks and Understanding Grammar spots
7 at the end of every module there is a language check
and learner development spot
At the end of the book there is Time Out, a magazine
section related to the lessons with fun activities like
puzzles, games and reading for pleasure. Students can do
the activities if they finish early in class or at home. There
is also a Word Bank organised by lexical features (Multipart Verbs, Word Families, Compounds etc.). Students can
use this section to do activities in the coursebook and as a
reference to revise and increase their own vocabulary.

Approach
Grammar
• Key Expressions are related to key functional areas from
B.1.1 and some of those from B.1.2 in the Common
European Framework (e.g. expressing belief, opinion,
agreement and disagreement politely).
• There are other useful phrases in the story dialogues.
These are focused on in the Workbook.
In New Challenges 3, grammar is the first lesson in each
module.
• Grammar is presented in context. Students read a variety
of texts and then focus on the structures.
• First there is a focus on form. Then students work out,
in a guided way, how to use the new structure.
• Practice moves from easier, more guided exercises on
form to freer speaking and writing tasks.
• The final activity (Your Turn) gives students an
opportunity to use the grammar to talk about their own
lives.
• There are four Understanding Grammar sections that
focus on problematic areas such as question tags.
• In the Study Corner, students test their knowledge and
are guided to remedial exercises.
• The main pronunciation spot is in the Everyday Listening
section. Pronunciation focuses on difficult sounds for
students (e.g. /t/, /d/, /θ/ and /ð/).
• Listen closely, also in the Everyday Listening section, looks
at supra-segmental pronunciation work. One of the
biggest problems students have with listening to natural
English speech is actually hearing words and expressions,
as many words just seem to disappear. Listen closely
tasks at this level focus on stress in common phrases,
contractions, unstressed function words (e.g. a/are/of/
have)) and word boundaries.
Sentence Builders
Skills
IT
U
N
• In New Challenges 3, skills activities are guided,
structured and, wherever possible, integrated with
other skills.
• There are speaking activities in every lesson and
tasks always use language that has been presented to
students (vocabulary, grammar and Key Expressions).
Students are given time to think about their ideas and
prepare for speaking as well as time to report back to
the class.
• There are at least three reading texts per module.
Text types include: magazine articles/letters; letters,
emails and notes; extracts from non-fiction; interviews;
questionnaires; travel brochures; stories; and
biographies. There is also extra reading in the Time Out
magazine.
• There are three listening tasks in every module. First
there is a gist listening in the Get Ready section. In
the story unit, students read and listen to dialogues
which help them see the relation between spoken
language and its written form. The Everyday Listening
has both extensive and intensive tasks. Listen closely
and Pronunciation tasks develop learners’ ability to
distinguish sounds, words and expressions.
• There is writing in every module. In odd-numbered
modules, there are projects which students can either
do in pairs or on their own. Projects give students
a chance to write about their own world and to be
creative. There are clear models and stages. In evennumbered modules, Your Challenge spots focus on
more interactive writing: an email; short notes; a film
review; a biography. Students are given clear models
and the writing tasks are carefully staged. Text Builders
focus on the structure of the target text and on linking
words and expressions.
M
PL
E
• Sentence structure has often been neglected in ELT
even though most language groups have quite different
syntax from that in English (e.g. verb position in Slav
languages; adjective position in Latin languages). L1
interference causes mistakes of word order and these
are usually more serious than other mistakes because
they affect understanding.
• Sentence Builders focus on sentence structure which is
often related to the main grammar (e.g. while and when
related to past tenses).
• Target patterns appear in texts, are explicitly focused on
in Sentence Builders and are then practised in guided
exercises. Sentence Builders can be used as a pattern
bank to help students when revising.
Pronunciation
Lexis
SA
• Key Word boxes in New Challenges 3 cover lexical
areas such as schools, abilities, health, food, places,
transport, jobs, films, personality, feelings, music and
science. Key Words help students to understand both
reading and listening texts and give them essential
vocabulary for writing and speaking tasks.
• Word Builders focus on key lexical features and help
build up students’ capacity to organise and learn English
vocabulary. Lexical features include multi-part verbs
(e.g. take up an activity), the delexicalised verbs make
and do (e.g. make your bed), dependent prepositions
(e.g. study for), verbs with prepositions (e.g. live in),
word families (e.g. boil/fry/grill), confusing words
(e.g. actually and now) and compound nouns and
adjectives (e.g. campsite and well-known). These spots
also focus on wordbuilding (e.g. adjective suffixes, noun
suffixes, adjectival prefixes).
• The Word Bank provides a reference for all of the
lexical features in New Challenges 3 and also contains
the lexical features that students looked at in the
previous two levels of New Challenges.

Culture
There is cultural input throughout the book.
•
The story also provides cultural insights into the lives of
the four characters who are at the school of performing
arts in Norwich and visit different places in Norfolk.
•
The Across Cultures sections deal with different cultures.
Learners write projects about their own culture using the
language of the reading texts.
•
With each of the three main units, there is a
corresponding spot in the Time Out magazine. This
means that, when students finish early or have time to
spare, they can do a game, puzzle or quiz in the Time
Out section.
•
In the Study Corner, students test what they have learnt
in the Language Check and then listen and check their
answers. In the Feedback section, they can find out what
areas they need to study more and are referred to the
Workbook for further practice.
•
Finally, the Study Help systematically develops study
skills. In New Challenges 3, there are spots about:
similar words; storing words/expressions; memorising
vocabulary; explaining words; self-assessment.
Learner Development
•
One of the greatest challenges for students is to become
better learners and to learn to study English on their
own. Several features encourage learner independence
in New Challenges 3.
•
On the Get Ready page, the objectives box clearly shows
students what they are going to learn in the module.

The Sami live in northern Scandinavia. Most
of them now have ‘normal’ jobs in towns and
cities but some carry on their traditional way of
life. In early summer, they go on a long journey
north with their reindeers. The Sami take them
far into the Arctic Circle to find grass and plants
to eat. When autumn begins, they take the
reindeers south again. Nowadays, the Sami use
snowmobiles and mobile phones when they are
looking after their animals. However, they still
wear their colourful costumes and sing their
traditional songs.
The word ‘Bedouin’ means ‘desert inhabitant’. Many Bedouins
live in towns in Arabia and North Africa but some still
make trips into the desert to get food for their camels. The
camels, or ‘ships of the desert’, carry everything and provide
food (milk and meat) and shelter (wool for tents). Bedouin
hospitality is famous: they give strangers food and water.
Bedouins know many tricks to find water. For example, when
they see insects or birds, they know water is usually near.

The Moken are often called ‘sea gypsies’. Some follow their
traditional lifestyle in the coastal areas of Thailand and
Myanmar. During the rainy season, when the sea is rough,
they live in huts on the beach but for the rest of the year they 30
live on their boats. They catch seafood and sell it in fishing
villages. Moken children learn to swim before they can walk.
They can see underwater twice as clearly as the rest of us and
can stay underwater twice as long! The Moken people know
the sea very well – before the tsunami in 2005, they left the sea 35
and looked for high ground.

The Workbook
The Workbook gives further practice of the language
introduced in the Students’ Book. Each unit directly reflects
the content of the corresponding unit of the Students’ Book.
Groups of Key Words and lexical features from Word Builders
are recycled and practised on the Get Ready page and in
the Skills unit. Grammar structures and uses are practised
in the Grammar unit and exercises are graded according
to difficulty with a one-, two- and three-star system. There
is also a handy Grammar Reference section at the back of
the book. Reading and writing skills are practised in the
Skills unit, which also includes a focus on punctuation. The
Language Check in each module acts as a follow-up to the
Language Quiz in the Study Corner of the Students’ Book.
Alternate modules of the Workbook finish with a Reading
Corner, which can be used as a ‘reading for pleasure’ activity
or to give further reading comprehension practice. There
are extra listening activities on every Get Ready page and in
the Skills unit. The recordings are on the New Challenges 3
Workbook audio CD.

• Check that students
understand any new words
in the text about home
schooling in Britain, e.g.
‘match’, ‘abilities’ and
‘learning styles’.
• Students suggest how home
schooling differs from their
school day.
Why do it? You can match the day to your children’s interests,
abilities and learning styles. Children learn at their own speed
with people they know and love.

John I’m John Watts, a reporter for the
Daily News. I’m visiting Sally Atkins
and her two children. Ned is fifteen,
Leah is ten and they learn at home
with their mum. Sally, can you tell
me about home schooling?
Sally Yes, I can. Today is a typical day.
Leah is in the garden. She’s drawing
plants and writing about them. She
loves the natural world. Every Friday
she goes to a nature club with other
kids. They learn about animals and
the environment.
John Who decides what she does?
Sally Here she is – why don’t you ask her?
John Hi, Leah. Who decides what you do
every day?
Leah I do. I talk to Mum about the things
that I’m interested in and she helps
me. It’s great! I don’t have formal

What is it? Home schooling is when parents teach their
children. In Britain, about 50, 000 students learn at home.
Who can do it? Any parent can decide to teach their
children at home. You don’t have to be a teacher.

The concept of home schooling
is completely alien in many
countries and you may like to
share student reactions to the
idea in class. As the text states,
only a relatively small number
of children are educated
at home in Britain but the
number is growing.
The law on home schooling
in the UK is very flexible and,
as the text states, it is not
necessary for either parent to
be a qualified teacher. The only
condition is that children must
receive a full-time education
appropriate to their age. Local
authorities may at times check
informally that a child being
educated at home is indeed
receiving tuition and may take
action if they believe that
parents are not complying with
the law.
More detailed information
about home schooling in
the UK is available on the
Internet by searching for ‘home
schooling’ at:
www.direct.gov.uk

Background

mentioned in the text, though
these are less common in

ROEDEAN
ETON COLLEGE
Opened 1885 in Brighton, near the sea.
400 girls aged eleven to eighteen
(about fifteen per cent are day girls).
Three houses. Girls share rooms in
groups. Fees: approx. £24,000 per year.
Opened in 1440 in Windsor, near London. About
1300 boys aged thirteen to eighteen. Twenty-five
houses. No dormitories; pupils have their own
study-bedrooms. Fees: approx. £26,000 per year.
UWC
Warm-up
1 UWC is a movement consisting of thirteen schools and colleges
and over 120 national committees, which can be found in
five continents. German educationalist, Kurt Hahn, had the
idea for the international colleges during the 1950s’ Cold
War. He believed that young people from all over the world,
learning and living together, could help to build international
understanding and world peace.
2 On 19th September 1962, the first school, UWC Atlantic
College, was opened in Wales. UWC Atlantic College is
a mixed boarding school and has 350 students aged from
sixteen to nineteen years old. It is more diverse than most
schools: the students come from as many as eighty different
countries. Life at UWC Atlantic College is not as formal as at
some boarding schools. Students don’t wear a uniform and there
are no compulsory sports or competitions between the houses.
3 In addition to academic work, UWC students take part in
community service. Every student must take up a voluntary
activity for two afternoons or evenings a week. UWC Atlantic
College students can choose from a wide range of activities and
services. For example, they can help with sea and beach rescue;
work on the college farm where they learn to grow food and
take care of the environment or organise activities for disabled
children.
4 At UWC Atlantic College, the students live in seven houses.
Each house has beds for about forty-eight students and,
usually, four students from different countries share a room.
Houseparents live with the students and take care of them. The
rooms are quite simple and the students share bathrooms. Each
student house has a living room with a small kitchen and study
rooms. Breakfast, lunch and dinner take place in a beautiful
twelfth-century dining room.

Background
Depending on your students’
educational background, they
may find the information in
the text more or less surprising.
Many countries have state
education systems which
are offered to all students,
although private education
in various shapes and
forms is also very common.
Examination systems vary
substantially from country to
country and students may be
relatively unfamiliar with the
concept of public exams.
After Exercise 5 you might like
to try to answer any questions
which the students wrote
in the Warm-up and which
remain unanswered by the
main text.

Our family is moving from the United States to London. Keira, (thirteen)
and Oliver (fifteen) are worrying about going to school in the UK. (The
only one they know about is Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films!)
Can anyone answer our questions?
1 Are schools free in the UK?
2 Are the school subjects the same as in the United States?
3 What’s a typical day like?
4 At what age do students start/leave school?
5 Do kids wear a uniform?
6 Do schools have entrance exams?

State education is free so the schools
pay for teachers, books, exam fees
and any special equipment for
science, etc. We (parents) pay for
school uniforms and things like rulers,
calculators. Also, schools charge for
extras like school trips. About ninety
per cent of British students go to a
state school.

Here, students start primary school when
they are five and move to secondary school
when they are eleven. At sixteen, students take
public exams called General Certificate of
Secondary Education. After GCSEs, students
can leave school, do a course to prepare for a
job or study for A level (Advanced Level) exams
(these are necessary for university entrance).

Most schools are comprehensive so they
don’t have an entrance exam. Secondary
schools usually have a uniform. Some
schools have simple uniforms with, for
example, a shirt, sweatshirt and a dark
skirt or trousers. Other schools have more
formal uniforms with jackets and ties.

My school day is 8.40 to 4 o’clock,

Then we move about the school for

canteen but I take a packed lunch.
