The Reading & Writing Student's Book is carefully structured to practice each of these skills.

The reading sections provide regular opportunities for discussion and interaction, with activities to practice global and close analysis, as well as chances to critically examine the ideas in the text.

Writing is split into two main parts; grammar and writing. This culminates in a final productive task that gives students the opportunity to put ideas from the texts and the skills from the writing section into practice.

Packaged with an online Digibook access code, along with a digital version of the text, the students also have access to a wealth of information and activities, including useful language, dictionary definitions, videos and progress checklist
