P WB p. 8

Doppio input linguistico Ogni unità si apre con una prima

presentazione che sfrutta testi di varia tipologia (articoli, emails, reports).

La seconda presentazione contiene il dialogo con la photostory, che segue la vita quotidiana di un gruppo di adolescenti londinesi alle prese con i problemi quotidiani e le aspirazioni future.

Esempi di strutture grammaticali e funzioni sono presenti nei box Grammar e Functions, il cui contenuto conciso e chiaro permette di svolgere le attività in piena autonomia.

Il box Flashpoint evidenzia costruzioni linguistiche particolari ma di uso comune.
