The full Cambridge English: Movers Word List is at the end of this book on page 25.

• Talk about the pictures

If you are a parent or a teacher, find time to sit with your children and look at the book.
Talk together about what you see. The ‘Let’s talk!’ questions on the picture pages give
ideas of what you can talk about. Try and help your children to move from one-word
answers to longer answers.

• Find words in the pictures
There is lots of action in the pictures. Ask your children to talk about what they see. Can
they tell stories about the people in the pictures? They can then begin to use the words
for a real purpose.
See if the children want to test your English too! What can they ask you to find in
the pictures?

and making lots of noise. Look for them under

The Movers go into the busy town centre.
The market arrived yesterday and will stay
until tomorrow. It’s a great place to buy some

fresh vegetables for a healthy salad. Opposite
the market there is a library. If you go out of
the town square you will find ice creams near
the library. There’s always lots to see and do
in town. It’s never boring.
