The 10 units explore the variety and realities of lifestyles in contemporary British society through a range of broad topics such as cultural diversity, sport, food,and holidays and leisure.

The wealth of authentic texts from different genres and recordings of unscripted interviews encourage a creative response and involvement throughout. This approach allows students to build up a personal picture and understanding of modern Britain. The Teacher s Book contains background information for each unit, clear teaching notes, tapescripts, answers and optional activity suggestions.

These texts are a mixture of established classics and more contemporary work. A comparative approach -- using two or more selections on the same theme -- helps students understand the qualities of the story or poem. -- Each selection is illustrated with film stills or other material to set the scene and stimulate discussion. -- Exercises focus on personal response; on discussing literary qualities such as style, character, imagery, and ideas; and on developing language awareness in terms of grammar, vocabulary, and different styles of writing.

"A second chance doesn't guarantee a touchdown in this new contemporary romance from the author of Intercepted. Single-mother Poppy Patterson moved across the country when she was sixteen and pregnant to find a new normal. After years of hard work, she's built a life she loves. It may include a job at a nightclub, weekend soccer games, and more stretch marks than she anticipated, but it's all hers, and nobody can take that away. Well, except for one person. T.K. Moore, the starting wide receiver for the Denver Mustangs, dreamt his entire life about being in the NFL. His world is football, parties, and women. Maybe at one point he thought his future would play out with his high school sweetheart by his side, but Poppy is long gone and he's moved on. When Poppy and TK cross paths in the most unlikely of places, emotions they've suppressed for years come rushing back. But with all the secrets they never told each other lying between them, they'll need more than a dating playbook to help them navigate their relationship"-- Provided by publisher
