However,this Coursebook can be used independently of the introductory volume.It is assumed that most of you who use this book will be studying English in orderto improve your educational or employment prospects, so it includes topics andthemes relevant to this goal. You will find passages and activities based on a widevariety of stimulating topics and about people from all over the world, which I hopeyou will enjoy reading and discussing.The book is divided into four themed parts: Leisure and travel, Education and work,People and achievements, and Ideas and the modern world. Each themed partis subdivided into units based on the specific skill areas of the IGCSE English as aSecond Language syllabus: reading, writing, listening and speaking. Exam-styleexercises are provided at the end of every unit. A new feature of the 5th edition is theinclusion of a short video at the start of every unit. It shows students discussing theunit theme. Speaking skills are practised through discussion activities and pair andgroup work, which occur in every unit. Furthermore, in Units 5, 10, 15 and 20, there isadditional video material of students responding to exam-style exercises. Appendix1 contains some examples of topic cards, similar to those used in speaking testexaminations.ivThe material becomes progressively more demanding, with longer and moreadvanced texts used in the second half of the book. This progressive step-bystep approach, including Top Tips, Language Tips and Word Tips throughout thebook, will help to build your confidence in all the necessary skill areas, while alsodeveloping your techniques for success in examinations.I hope you enjoy using this book, and I wish you success in your IGCSE English as aSecond Language course!Peter LucantoniThis book is dedicated, as always, to Lydia, Sara and Emily in this web service Cambridge University Presswww.cambridge.org
