    Reviews of the “Study It” Series/

    "It’s obviously an amazing learning tool” - Canada AM, National Morning Show

    Study "It": English as a Second Language series is an engaging textbook for teaching non-native English speakers. It takes advantage of the format to include video and audio in a way that supports the lessons and never feels added on as an "enhancement." The textbook uses a number of different assessment formats to allow users to test themselves throughout the book and see their scores. The book even uses the Note function effectively for long-form answers. While the content of the book is challenging, it makes learning grammar easy and fun. - 2015 Digital Book Award Review 

    “The Study It textbooks are a set of interactive English language multi-touch textbooks that are a fraction of the cost of a paper textbook” - Digital Journal 

    The Study It ESL textbook series has been awarded the QED Certification. The QED stands for Quality, Excellence, Design. It is the seal of approval of ebooks and enhanced books. All recipients of the QED have passed a thorough, independent 13-point quality assurance test. - QED Panel

      Study It Conversation 3 eBook - James Rice

      UNIT 1

      Explanations

      Sometimes we need to explain our actions. When we are younger, we usually explain ourselves to our parents. Why were you late getting home? Or when you are older, to your boss, Why didn’t you finish the report? This lesson focuses on explaining ourselves.

      What do you say when you are late for an appointment?

      Have you ever made an excuse? Was it a lie?

      What is a fishy story?

      Language Point

      Explanations using Past Tenses

      When we have to explain ourselves, we can use the past simple and continuous. For example: Why were you late getting home?

      Well, you’ll never guess, the train was two hours late! And when the train came, I was waiting at the wrong stop. I was running over to the train when the doors closed and I couldn’t get on.

      Use the simple past for a completed action.

      Use the past continuous when the action is not finished.

      Listen to the audio here: http://www.studyitbooks.com/3_1_explanations.html

      Listen to the video and answer the questions.

      BONUS TIP!

      Use when to talk about two actions in the past.

      When I arrived, everyone was dancing.

      This means that the actions happened at the same time.

      David is late for class.

      David: Sorry I’m late.

      Teacher: David, you’re an hour late. What happened to you?

      David: My alarm clock didn’t go off.

      Teacher: Do you have your homework done?

      David: Oh man, sorry, I don’t. But I have a good reason.

      Teacher: And that is?

      David: My dog ate it.

      Teacher: But you don’t have a dog!

      David: My friend’s dog ate it. I was walking my friend’s dog down the street, and that’s when my backpack fell on the ground and the dog tore it apart! And then the dog attacked me. Look at my arms! He bit me
