“Very useful in that it covers a variety of contemporary topics (all in one place!)… It will save you HOURS of time creating texts and questions.” E Welburn, French teacher, independent reviewer

“Good variety of exercises, good exam practice… The ‘Thinking Questions’ are good preparation for the oral and written exams… I think this is a very well prepared, useful resource.” G Clegg, Languages teacher, independent reviewer

“I particularly like the variation in exercises which frequently revisit the basics of grammar but using adult content – this is not going to make students feel patronised... Ideal for homework tasks or class revision.” C Walles, Languages teacher, independent reviewer
