Book excerpt: Student's Book 1 has eight units. In each unit, a 'Get started' section helps students with strategies needed for effective language-learning. Grammar sections provide systematic practice and revision, while the vocabulary syllabus covers a wide variety of lexical areas. A focus on phrasal verbs provides support in this challenging area. Authentic texts give practice in understanding real English, while comprehension exercises focus on exam-style practice. A step-by-step approach to writing guides students towards effective process writing. Exam strategies further prepare students for exam success. 'Speaking' and 'Listening' sections offer the opportunity to develop these language skills beyond the Bachillerato syllabus.
