Előszó

Introduction
Enterprise 3 Pre-Intermediate is a complete course for students studying Englisfi at pre-intermediate level. It provides students with the necessary skills to successfully communicate in both the oral and written forms of the language.
The course consists of four modules of twenty-two units in total, six of which present a story in episodes. Each module ensures coverage of a care of useful language relatd to topics of general interest with which the students need to be familiar. The units follow the same basic structure, outlined below.
Each unit consists of:
• Lead-in sections which draw on the students' knowledge of the given topic. The lead-in section ends with a listening activity, requiring students to listen to the reading text and complete a task, such as filling in missing information, underlining the correct item, multiple matching, True/False statements, etc. This listening activity prepares students to deal with the reading text which follows. Having encountered the main idea of the text, students are better equipped to focus on the reading task.
• Reading sections which consist of cross-cultural texts. These texts allow students to develop skills such as reading for gist, reading for specific information, understanding vocabulary from context and summarising text in their own words.
• Vocabulary Practice sections which focus on exploiting the vocabulary introduced in the reading text through various types of exercises such as 'word attack' (in which students deduce the meaning of words from context), gap-filling, collocations which help students remember vocabulary items as parts of set expressions, and sets of commonly confused words. Text-related idioms, phrasal verbs and prepositions are also included.
• Follow-up sections which focus on encouraging students to extract and reproduce relevant information from the text through discussion as well as mastering the vocabulary covered in the Vocabulary Practice section.
• Language Development sections which present vocabulary linked to the topic and extend students' vocabulary at the appropriate level.
Listening and Speaking exercises which focus on communication. Students are given the opportunity to develop competence in their listening and speaking skills through various exercises and activities. Grammar in Use sections which present grammar structures in a clear, easily understood way. These sections are used with the Grammar Reference section (found at the back of the book), allowing students to reinforce and expand their knowledge of grammar through a variety of useful exercises. Pronunciation sections which help students gain confidence in recognising sounds and pronouncing them correctly. All pronunciation exercises are recorded on tapes which accompany the coursebook.
Writing sections which introduce the most important aspects of composition writing in an easy-to-follow way. All writing exercises (either essays or projects) are guided so that students will not feel frustrated. Notes on successful writing, plans and model compositions help students understand each type of writing presented.
Words of Wisdom sections which familiarise students with famous quotations and proverbs.
iVioduie Self-Assessment sections which reinforce students' knowledge of the topics, vocabulary and structures presented in the previous exercises and help prepare them for the tests. A marking scheme allows students to evaluate their progress and identify their weakness.
