The Explore section of the unit includes an

Across cultures page, a Keywords page, which looks
at useful and commonly confused words, and an
Explore speaking or Explore writing page. The Explore
section gives you extra language and skills work, all
aiming to help you become a better and more culturally
aware communicator in English.

The Look again section includes detailed work on the advanced-level grammar and
vocabulary you have met in the unit, helping you review and extend your learning.
Sometimes you will also find this recycling symbol with the goals, to show when a
particular goal is not new but is recycling language that you have met before.

The e-Portfolio DVD-ROM contains useful reference material for

all the units, as well as self-assessment to help you test your own
learning, and Word cards to help you test your vocabulary learning.

You can do more practice by

yourself using the Self-study Pack,
which includes a workbook and
interactive DVD-ROM. Work you do
on this DVD-ROM can be saved to
the e-portfilio.

The DVD-ROM contains

authentic video clips and over
280 interactive activities.
