Reviews:
Written by two of the most established authors of language materials in the country, the result is an easy-to-follow publication, with totally accessible language and a whole wealth of practice activities ... At each new explanation spot, for those learners who already know or are confident with that aspect, there is a fast-track symbol moving them on to a later section. In this way, all learners are kept on the move at their own pace and level of knowledge. This would make the book a really useful resource for tutors teaching mixed-ability adult classes, for examples ... For its clarity and content coverage this pack represents great value for money and would be of benefit as an extra class resource for adults, as well as to be recommended to learners for personal use.
