You will develop your English skills as you become a travel writer and perform a scene from a detective story. You’ll find a wide range of international fiction, non-fiction, poetry and drama throughout the book to help develop your understanding of different genres and text types. Each unit is packed with activities that cover reading, writing, speaking and listening, as well as opportunities to develop 21st century skills – such as collaboration and critical thinking. Units end with a project, like analysing story endings, to help you communicate confidently and understand how to apply your learning to real-world scenarios.
