L’argomento. Life Reflections è rivolto agli studenti dei Licei delle Scienze Umane (Indirizzo tradizionale e Opzione economico-sociale).
 
 I contenuti sono stati ordinati secondo criteri di graduale complessità concettuale e linguistica e vengono esplorati utilizzando le quattro abilità in modo omogeneo ed integrato.
 
 La struttura. Life Reflections è diviso in sei Moduli, ognuno dei quali è ripartito in tre sezioni:
 
 1. Contents Section – Divisa in Unità, contiene testi e attività che riguardano i contenuti specifici della specializzazione già affrontati in L1. Ogni Unità è suddivisa in brevi Capitoli per favorire non solo uno studio più parcellizzato, ma anche la scelta antologica da parte dell’insegnante. Brevi box di approfondimento, denominati Moving Deeper, permettono di ampliare le conoscenze sull’argomento. Un ricco apparato iconografico correda i brani di lettura, per ognuno dei quali è previsto un esauriente glossario.
 
 2. Revision and Practice – Si occupa di contenuti inerenti alla disciplina ponendo particolare attenzione all’arricchimento lessicale, strutturale e allo sviluppo delle quattro abilità linguistiche. Presenta le seguenti ripartizioni: <ul><li>Vocabulary. Comprende specifiche attività per il conseguimento del lessico più importante del Modulo.
</li><li>Grammar. Propone il rinforzo delle strutture morfo-sintattiche più ricorrenti.
</li><li>Communication. Offre testi e attività di consolidamento dei contenuti appresi per sviluppare le quattro abilità linguistiche: Reading – Listening – Speaking – Writing.
</li></ul>3. Language Immersion – È volta al potenziamento della lingua tramite l’esplorazione di materie non linguistiche in inglese e la pratica di esercitazioni per certificazione linguistica. <ul><li>CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning). Alla fine di ogni Modulo è presente un CLIL CORNER che si collega alle tematiche presentate in alcune delle discipline curriculari: Biologia, Scienze Naturali, Filosofia, Storia, Diritto, Arte. Gli argomenti proposti possono favorire una didattica cross-curricolare, coinvolgendo docenti delle materie citate.
</li><li>B2 – Gli studenti hanno l’opportunità di fare pratica di alcuni dei test di una delle più popolari certificazioni linguistiche (Cambridge English Language Assessment) a livello B2 del Quadro Comune Europeo di Riferimento Linguistico.</li></ul>

It is often used with: now, at the moment, currently, today, etc.   The Present Perfect is used for something which has happened recently, or at an unspecified point of time in the past.   The Past Simple is used to talk about actions that happened at a specific time in the past. You state when it happened using a time adverb: yesterday, last week/month/year, in 2012, etc.   The Past Continuous is used for something that was happening at a precise moment in the past. It is often used to express an interrupted action in progress.   The Past Perfect is used for an action that finished before another action in the past.   The Future with  will  is used to make promises and predictions, and to express a decision made about the future at the moment.   It is also very common to express Futurity with  going to  and the Present Continuous. The future with  going to  is used to speak about future intentions; the future with the Present Continuous is used to speak about arrangements and plans. 30
