FOREWORD
In today’s world, every graduate competes on a global scale. Thus, it is important
to equip learners with the proper skills to be competitive—one of which is excellent
communication skills in the English language.
The influence of English on the world can hardly be contested. It enables. It is the
language in which a great part of the world’s knowledge is stored and it is the language
in which business, trade, and diplomacy are conducted. A mastery of the language
provides access to information and opportunities.
The EnglishTek series is TechFactors’ innovation in English learning. As a learning
system, EnglishTek develops students’ communication skills by incorporating current
practices in language learning and technology.
We believe in providing a holistic approach to learning English by simultaneously
honing listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills to make students competent in
both oral and written communication.
Learning is also made relevant by situating learners in context and by using
situations, examples, and texts that can be found in the real world. In line with
TechFactors’ mission, learning is also made fun and enjoyable through colorful and
vibrant lessons and activities.
We hope that, with this series, students become effective communicators in English
and simultaneously enjoy the learning process. By building these critical foundations of
communication, we hope to provide them with tools to compete in higher education
and in life.

Greeting people cheerfully and with a smile makes them feel good. If someone
you know just passed you by without saying “Hello,” then you might get upset.
However, imagine if someone greeted you with a bright smile and a big “Good
morning!” That would make your morning a really good one!
Here are some greetings you can say to your classmates, friends, and teachers.
Read each one with proper expression.

Grammar Points Messages
Messages are all around us. When we talk to our friends, we tell them a
message. When our parents tell us something, we listen to their message. When we
give someone a birthday card, we write a message. When we read a book, we
read a message.
Messages are the things that we want to say. Messages help us communicate.
To communicate means to express messages to other people. Here are some
examples of messages:
Marie is my friend.
Hello, Marie!
How are you?
Do you know that we can use messages to make new friends? These are
the messages we can use:
Hello! What is your name?
My name is Tina
It’s nice to meet you.
My New Friends
