  • "The look and size of the book is very good..."
  • "The topics covered are up-to-date and some are quite controversial..."
  • "...I also think the “word bank” is a good idea..."
  • "...I like the way photographs have been used as they don’t dominate the page but are good for generating discussion..."
  • "...The reading texts are good and many are taken from authentic sources...."
  • "...The use of different accents is good..."
  • "...Particularly good are the speaking topics and role play cards."
