Each lesson contains starters, plenaries, study tasks, group or paired work, reading or writing tasks, glossaries for all reading tasks. Homework is also included. Some classes might need longer periods for the writing tasks.

No additional planning is required. There are 20 lessons (including additional writing lessons – if required)
