Il testo si propone di rivedere le strutture e le funzioni della lingua inglese presenti nel syllabus della Scuola Secondaria di Primo Grado. Esse vengono presentate in un contesto diverso da quello del corso di lingua usato nell’anno scolastico: quello delle attività e degli interessi prevalentemente estivi di questa fascia di adolescenti.
 I testi e gli esercizi sono concepiti in modo da essere efficacemente sfruttati in maniera autonoma. Il libro è organizzato in Weeks con cadenza regolare e costante. I contenuti, sempre stimolanti, sono adeguati al livello linguistico, le istruzioni sono chiare e in italiano.
 Le settimane contengono le seguenti aree tematiche:
 Book 1
 Relationships – Animals – Sports – Food – Hobbies – Videogames – Tours
 Book 2
 People and places – Wildlife – Computers – Music – History – TV &amp; Cinema shows – Magazines
 
 Il materiale autentico è una caratteristica costante di questi testi: riviste, siti web, pubblicità, dépliant turistici, ecc. costituiscono un tuffo dentro la cultura dei paesi anglofoni.
 
 La struttura. Ogni volume è suddiviso in sette settimane articolate secondo uno stesso percorso costante:
 – Pagina 1 e 2 di presentazione che introducono, o sotto forma di lettura o di ascolto, gli argomenti della settimana
 – Pagina 3 dedicata all’abilità di reading
 – Pagina 4 dedicata all’abilità di listening
 – Pagina 5 dedicata all’abilità di speaking
 – Pagina 6 dedicata all’abilità di writing
 – Pagina 7 dedicata alla certificazione KET
 – Pagina 8 dedicata all’acquisizione del lessico
 – Pagina 9 dedicata alle strutture grammaticali
 – Pagina 11 dedicata alla pratica grammaticale

READING 2 Leggi il brano e correggi le affermazioni. The dark secrets of the Smugglers In the past centuries, Hastings, a nice, quiet seaside town in Sussex, was one of the centres of smuggling. To smuggle means to take something illegally from one country to another. In the 19th century, Joseph Golding, a 34-year-old greengrocer, accidentally discovered something important. To his surprise, while he was working in his garden, he found himself in a vast cavern, so he started to explore it. He discovered a labyrinth of underground caves, St Clement s Caves, in the heart of the West Hill of Hastings. These places concealed the secrets and the thrilling history of smugglers and outlaws. Here they hid tea, sugar, spices, pepper, salt, but also leather and jewellery, alcohol and tobacco. The caves have a rich history, they were not only places for smugglers. In fact, they were mines used for extracting sandstone, and, at the beginning of the 19th century, the troops of the Duke of Wellington (who defeated Napoleon at Waterloo) used them as a military hospital. During the Second World War, the caves were transformed into air raid shelters for 600 people. The caves became also an attraction for tourists: the first illustrious visitors were the Prince and Princess of Wales in 1864. If you go there now, you can find a sort of theme park, with a reconstruction of the smugglers  world including 70 life-size figures, interactive displays, light and sound effects and a few surprises! There is also a mysterious side: people say that inexplicable events happened in the caves and that the deepest and coldest part is haunted. A legend says that ghosts live there! 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Hastings is a big, industrial town. .................................................................................................................................................................
