This is one of my favorite books for teaching reading.1. There are four texts in each unit. All of the text in the unit cover the same topic: media, education, etc. These topics are ones typically found on the IELTS test. As a result, students can build up their vocabulary and background knowledge on these topics. Because, the four articles are about the same topic, the language and target vocabulary is recycled throughout the four articles, so that by the time students get to the third and fourth articles, which are the most difficult, they have an easier time reading them. Also, the articles are interesting and up to date. Even I learn something new from reading them. The readings are also long enough for students to get enough practice reading long articles but not too long that you can't do some of them in class.2. Each unit also covers both a vocabulary strategy and a reading strategy so that you can practice both while doing the readings.3. Each reading also has key vocabulary for the students to learn with a glossary in the back with definitions and example sentences. The vocabulary coverage is probably the weakest part of the textbook as it not covered in much depth. However, if it were, then this book would be way too long. I have created my own vocabulary exercises for each unit.This book is ideal for an intermediate level.

The book is good but they put my textbooks in the narrow mailbox and made its corner bend! USPS should train their employees better!

As described, it's really important!

It's very good.You are great.
