Reading
6 Learners skim read the texts.
Answers
Text 1: when submitting the article. Text 2: after a peer review.
7 The mistakes in the verb forms are common in letters 
like these. Learners may ask if ‘are looking forward’ is 
possible in (6). The answer is ‘no’, as it is too informal.

Speaking
8 It may be worth saying that the subject lines of 
submission emails have to be concise and precise as 
editors have to sustain extensive written communication 
and, therefore, have to make decisions quite fast. To help 
learners answer question 2, you could play Track 26 again.
Suggested answers
1 Text 1: Paper/Article submission Text 2: Resubmission: (title of 
the paper / manuscript number)
2 Text 1: The authors state that all the co-authors have seen the 
final version and they say why the paper is important. In Text 
2 the authors give explanations of how they have addressed 
each of the reviewer’s and editor’s comments, and they use a 
positive tone.

26 Focus on the Language Support box. You 
could ask learners why people might add emphasis 
when speaking. In Track 26 the presenter uses different 
structures to emphasise his ideas. Point out to learners 
that some of the ways of adding emphasis in the talk are 
lexical, i.e. ‘strong words’, and some are phonetic, i.e. 
‘emphatic stress’.
Answers
It’s … that: it’s important that when you resubmit … (paragraph 2)
The auxiliary verb do before the main verb in statements and 
imperatives: do send (paragraph 1); do take this opportunity’ 
(paragraph 1)
10 Here learners practise using the structures in the 
Language Support box and the submission-related 
vocabulary from the lesson. If learners have not had 
experience of any problems with getting an article 
published, they can discuss imaginary ones.
