ສ.ວ.ສ ສະຫງວນລິຂະສິດ Introduction The English textbook for secondary schools is the sixth in a series of seven textbooks which are currently developed to respond to the new policy of the Ministry of Education and Sports on the reform of general education from 11 years to 12 years. Upon the new educational reform, the Ministry of Education has decided to add another year to the secondary school program in the academic year 2009-2010. To implement the new policy, the Foreign Language Resource Centre at the Research Institute for Educational Sciences in cooperation with the Faculty of Letters at the National University of Laos have formed a team to develop the curriculum and write the textbook with a teacher’s guide through financial support of the Basic Education Sector Development Project (BESDP). Along with the textbook, the teacher’s guide has also been provided in order to help with more effective teaching. The teacher’s guide includes teaching techniques for each step of the lessons. There are also some instructions on how to use teaching aids and some suggestions for teachers and students on how to create teaching aids for their own classes. However, the textbook is produced under the time pressure; therefore, some minor errors could not be avoided. The Foreign Language Resource Centre highly appreciates all comments and suggestions from readers and these are considered as a great contribution to the quality assurance of the textbook as well as to the development of the Lao National Education. The Research Institute for Educational Sciences avails itself of this opportunity to express its sincere thanks to all contributors.

As for my hobbies, interests and ambition, I have quite a few; writing poetry and short stories are my favorite hobbies. Please keep my ambition as a secret between us. My ambition is to become a famous writer someday. I am a music lover. I listen to all kinds of music. I also play the piano and basketball for my school. We have to practise every Saturday morning.
