Ask a child what they want to be when they grow up, and they will likely
say “fireman.” Firefighters are much appreciated by society, and their job seems
exciting. Firefighters put out fires and save people in dangerous situations, such as
burning buildings and flooded areas. They get to drive unusual vehicles, like fireengines, which many people would find too difficult to drive. Sometimes, they may
even need to operate jet skis or boats to save people at sea. Firefighters also needto catch dangerous animals.
To become a firefighter in the United States, you must have a high school
diploma and take a written exam and then a physical ability exam. The subjects
covered in the written exam include fire science and chemistry. The physical ability
exam tests your physical strength, speed, and endurance. Once you’ve passed both
exams, you take part in a training program that lasts 18 months. After that, you
receive a certificate and wait to be assigned to a fire station, but the wait isn’t long!
Firefighters are in demand because of the dangers and long hours related to thejob. Putting their own lives on the line to save others, firefighters have an especiallydifficult job. It’s no wonder that they are considered society’s heroes.

c. overlooked
2. How do many people find driving a fire engine?
a. They find it similar to operating a boat.
b. They find it too hard.

Students will
check theircomprehension
with different typesof review questions.

WELCOME TO LIVE ESCALATE !
The Live Escalate series comes in three volumes, from Book 1: Base Camp to Book 3:
Summit. Each book is made up of 12 units and a review section after every six units.
There are reading, listening, writing, and speaking activities in each unit. Readers will bechallenged by the variety of fun and interesting content throughout the series.

A Complete Series
Each of the three books in this stimulating and pragmatic series is designed with a natural
flow in mind: listening a speaking a reading a writing, with the result being that yourEnglish improves dramatically while you’re unaware of the effort you’ve spent. The aim isthat with minimal friction, learners of all ages will assimilate this language with the same
fluidity a child does in his or her native environment, thus removing the sense of foreignness and frustration that is part of foreign language learning.

Unit Themes Focusing on Self-Expression
The units covered in this series pertain to ordinary life, focusing on the types of situations
and challenges learners encounter every day, including shopping, eating, socializing, odds
and ends around the house, leisure, and more.

Book 3: Summit
I CAN express opinions on somematters in a controlled way.

Book 2: Trekking
I CAN express opinions in acontrolled way.
