Preface IMAX Program partners with schools, supporting them with learning materials and processes that are all crafted to work together as an interconnected system to drive learning. IMAX Program presents the latest version of the Alpine series. The Alpine series endeavours to be faithful to the spirit of the prescribed board curriculum. The Alpine Look and Learn textbooks and workbooks envisage language learning through concerns pertaining to the learners’ immediate environment. They recognise the potential of languages available in the classroom for the enhancement of cognitive abilities along with language proficiency and sensitivity. They also strive to ensure inclusiveness in terms of gender and diversity in representation, catering to the heterogeneous Indian classroom. The themes of the lessons are aligned with the themes recommended for English by the prescribed board curriculum. The books are split into two parts to manage the bag weight. The Alpine Look and Learn textbooks and workbooks offer the following features:  Interactive content that engages learners through a range of open- ended questions that build curiosity and initiate exploration of the immediate environment  Effective use of visual elements to enable learning of personal relationships, the neighbourhood, and the larger community  A focus on vocabulary building through observable materials, structures, processes and phenomena  Integrated learning of values and life skills  Promotion of participatory and contextualised learning through the engagement of all relevant stakeholders in the learning process Overall, the IMAX Alpine Look and Learn textbooks, workbooks and teacher companion books aim to enhance language acquisition through exploration of the learners’ immediate physical, social and cultural experiences. They also hope to inculcate healthy habits, skills and values among learners to help them become responsible individuals. – The Authors NR_BGM_9789388751803 ALPINE G01 LOOK & LEARN TEXTBOOK PART 1_Text.pdf 2 12/24/2018 3:07:12 PM

It is the phone number of one of your family members. When someone asks where we live, what do we tell them? We tell them our house number, street (road) name, city and so on. So, the address is a place where someone lives. Example: House number 22, Karol Bagh, New Delhi Do not share your name or address with people you do not know. Understanding Our names, genders, addresses and phone numbers help others to know about us. In trouble, others can call for help using the Rajat Sharma contact number. House 2, Block 9, Karol Bagh, New Delhi Date of birth helps people to know how old (age) we are. PIN code – 110005 India People write names and addresses on letters.

Some rainwater flows into the rivers water spring and streams. The water from the river goes well borewell or tube well to the seas and oceans. Some rainwater collects over the ground to form lakes and ponds. Some water goes under the ground as groundwater. Sometimes, it comes out in the form of water springs. To use the water stored under the ground, we dig wells, borewells and tube wells. Application The water that we use every day is called freshwater. It tap water comes from rivers, ponds, lakes, streams, wells and so hand pump on. We use this water for drinking, bathing, washing and cooking. We cannot use water from seas and oceans. It is salty. In cities, people use tap water for their daily use. Tap water comes from ponds, rivers, lakes and wells (borewells and tube wells). In villages, people may use tap water. Or they use water from wells, rivers, streams or lakes directly. They also use hand pumps. Should we use river or pond water directly for drinking? No, because it contains dirt or mud. Sometimes, the water looks clean to our eyes. But it may have germs in it. To use this water for drinking, we need to boil it first. Boiling makes the water fit to drink. Nowadays, water purifiers are used to make water fit for drinking. Water, Water, Everywhere 25 NR_BGM_9789388751803 ALPINE G01 LOOK & LEARN TEXTBOOK PART 1_Text.pdf 29 12/24/2018 3:07:13 PM

People in the olden days made houses near the water sources because there were no taps, wells or hand pumps. Only natural sources of water were there. Then they started building artificial sources like wells, taps and pipelines. Today also, some places have very few sources of water. In these places, every day people walk to faraway places to get water for daily use. Water is not easily available to them. women bring water from faraway places 26 12/24/2018 3:07:13 PM NR_BGM_9789388751803 ALPINE G01 LOOK & LEARN TEXTBOOK PART 1_Text.pdf 30
