TB = Textbook; SAM = Student Activities Manual.
Where the TB or SAM has a picture of
headphones next to an exercise, that exercise has an oral component, which you will find
on-line at the Голоса web site. Where a
page in the TB or SAM is assigned, you should complete all activities on that page.
The alphabet unit covers TB pp. 1–18; SAM pp. 1–14.
