Each level contains 16 thematic units with a selection of engaging topics that motivate learners to relate the readings to their own experiences. Three inviting reading passages in each unit, all adapted from authentic sources-including newspapers, magazines, the Internet, and works of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry-exposes learners to a wide range of writing styles.
