Things to practise C21 skills
Planning ahead activity (Units 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 & 11)
The Planning ahead pages ask you to reflect on your learning so you can identify what is going well and what needs improvement, and plan your study time between classes.
Learning a language works best if you are active in class, so there are also questions that ask you to think of ways of participating more actively.

I had always wanted to start my own business. But before giving up my full-time job, I thought carefully
about the advantages and possible disadvantages. Giving up a good job was risky, of course. However, my business plan was a good one, I thought, and I had saved up some money to help me get started. If I took the risk, I could end up with a money-making business and the life that I wanted.

However, I calculated that I would need more money than I had saved. At first, the idea of asking
my bank for a loan seemed promising, but the bank had very strict rules when lending and my application was turned down.

be unfair to take a risk with their money. If things went badly, I might not be able to repay them, and the consequences for them could be serious.

Eventually, an old friend of mine suggested that we could start the business together. ‘If I invest some
money too, we’ll have enough,’ he pointed out, and, of course, he was right. I realized it was a great idea.

We haven’t had much free time, but it’s been incredibly exciting – and now the business is profitable! If it keeps growing, we’ll have to employ extra people.
