Abstract	This text was designed for adult students of English as a Second Language who are reading at approximately an intermediate level. Ten chapters address a variety of topics relating to daily life in the United States, including: travel and transportation; the nuclear and extended family; holiday traditions and customs; the education system; college life; the workplace and its rules and expectations; life changes and adjustments; moving to a new community; wedding customs, traditions, and etiquette; buying on credit; compromise; making major purchases; health and hospital care; child care alternatives; and working parent concerns. The following essential language, cognitive, and life skill areas are targeted in each chapter: schema development; vocabulary enrichment; word study skills; constructing meaning; metacomprehension; language enrichment; and life skills. Chapters contain two readings and include, for each, pre-reading activities and exercises, a preview of the reading, the passage, comprehension questions, and additional exercises and activities. A teacher's guide for all 11 chapters is also included. (MSE) (Adjunct ERIC Clearinghouse on Literacy Education)
