Rita: Oh, yes The local cricket team is very popular, and so is the Australian rules football team — you know, that’s a game like rugby that we play in Australia There's also a lot of support for the Perth Wildcats, the basketball team And there are a lot of facilities for local people, and | always had someone there who understood me and visitors, to play sports themselves often really embarrassed when they didn’t know who was local people to find out what they think about living helped me It could also be very funny, and people were who It wasn’t always easy to get people to see me for who | was, rather than just one half of ‘the Jones twins’, but | wouldn't change it for the world, despite the difficulties Three: Uh huh yeah well, things have been really busy at the office recently, and I haven't had time to go round and fix it Maybe this weekend uh huh you think so? Okay I'll see what | can do, although | can't promise anything Did you speak to Dad? What did he Right Well, Mum, you know, never even wanted it in the first place I'll give you a call tomorrow and we'll arrange to go Interviewer: Thanks, Rita Now, I'm going to speak to some Unit 3, page 27, Listening Speaker1: | wanted a digital camera for Christmas because my friend was coming to stay with me and | wanted to take some photos My husband said he would get me one, and he did Well, I've never really been very good with modern technology, and | hadn’t used one before | took some photos during the Christmas holiday and let my husband put them on the computer When we saw them, though, round, unless something comes up All right, mate Speak to you later Four: He’s fourteen now, and he’s growing up so fast! It seems like only a few years since he was complaining the quality wasn't very good It was a bit disappointing, but it seems | had it on the wrong setting | should have studied the book that came with it, but | don’t have the him to anything around the house! It was like one local shopping centre and had a look at what they had about having to put his toys away | always had to force patience for that kind of thing Speaker 2: | needed a new laptop, so | went along to my constant argument He's completely different now It’s as if there | found one | liked and asked a shop assistant to show it to me It seemed okay, but he said that | would he’s realised that I'm not just there to be his mum, and he understands that sometimes I've had a hard day at work | really need something faster and that had many more features In the end, | spent more money and got one that see some other parents with their difficult teenagers who just give one-word answers to every question and | feel is much more powerful than | really need | wish I'd just got the one | liked quite fortunate Speaker 3: | had a problem with a dishwasher After | got Five: it, a friend told me that you have to clean the filter in the Man: So how are things going? Woman: Oh, can't complain | suppose Everyone's fine bottom and add special salt to it | hadn't known that, but I've been workinga lot, and my boss is making life difficult, but that's nothing new Man: Oh, mine can be like that It's an old family business and they're very traditional | keep making suggestions, but the brothers who run it never listen You're at Walker's, aren't you? Woman: That’s right In the accounts department Nearly salt | did it and left the filter to dry When | came back later, it had gone Couldn't see it anywhere I've got no idea what happened, but now the dishwasher doesn't work properly Speaker 4: I've got a new mobile phone now, but it’s the first new one I've had for about five years My last one was six years now Oh, there’s my bus Nice to see you again Say hello to your sister from me quite old and didn’t have all these complicated features Man: | will Unit 2, page 19, Listening but | never seemed to have enough money at the right time To be honest, my friends started to make fun of it, so I stopped taking it out with me and left it at home - which is a bit of a waste of time with a mobile! I'm much happier with this one Interviewer: I'm in the Australian city of Perth, and with me is Rita Wentworth, who works as a tour guide in and around the city Now, Rita, first of all, could you tell us a little about the city? Rita: Sure Well, Perth has been here since it was started by Captain James Stirling, back in 1829 There were native Australians in the area before that, but that was when the British first arrived And unlike other cities, such as Sydney, whose first residents were mostly prisoners from Britain, the people who first lived in Perth were free They came to Australia from Britain to make a better life for themselves and their families Interviewer: What's Perth like today? Rita: It’s a very large city of over 1.5 million people, so 24 | thought it should be easy You just take the filter out, clean it and put it back Then there's a place to put the that new ones People kept telling me to get a new one, Speaker 5: My dad always says that the cheap one will cost you more money in the end, and | realise now that he’s right | got a microwave, and | tried to spend as little money as I could When | got it home, | realised that there weren't any instructions and no guarantee It stopped working after a week, and | had to take it back to the shop They gave me another, and that developed a problem within a couple of months Finally, | paid more for a better one Interviewer: Hello, and welcome to the Money Show I'm joined today by Tessa Crowe, who is a financial expert, and we're talking about money problems Tessa, tell us what kind of problems people come to you with Tessa: Well, it varies My customers sometimes want advice about which bank account is best for them and ‘sometimes they want to know about investing money The biggest category is probably money owed on credit cards, though Many people use them to buy things, and later they realise that after paying their household bills they don't have enough money left to pay back what they've borrowed It’s a problem that seems to be increasing Interviewer: And how does that happen? Tessa: Credit cards work ona ‘buy now, pay later’ basis So when people are thinking of buying something, let's say a new pair of shoes or the latest bit of modern technology, they are thinking about what they want, not what they can afford When they look at the price tag, they think it’s okay to go for the more expensive one because they don't have to pay for it immediately Unfortunately, though, if they that too often, they end up with a large monthly bill Interviewer: What's your advice? Tessa: First of all, if you're concerned about your credit card bills, don’t just sit there and worry and try to ignore them One thing the credit card companies hate is not knowing what's happening Before you get in touch with someone like me, call them and explain the situation They may be able to help If they're not very helpful, then it's time to speak to your bank manager, or maybe an advisor like me women were wearing The only thing that spoiled it was that some of the people on stage | just wasn't convinced by their performance, really | thought they were quite bad and needed more training Three: No on the sixteenth that’s right, Mr Reeves, Gordon Reeves and we're in seats 35F and 356 have you found it? Right, well, the thing is that I've got my brother and his wife visiting then, and | realised that they don't have tickets, so | was wondering whether there are any left oh right that's a shame We'll have to go on the following Friday, then yes, if you can change those, that's great and the seats are 35F and G Right thank We saw it on DVD last night What a load of rubbish! Ijust don’t believe that a man like that would leave his job and go and live in the country And then meet the girl of his dreams | did think their relationship was handled quite well in the end, | suppose, but the plot was so simple and predictable that | started falling asleep | prefer films that are more true to life, where people have understandable reasons for doing things | wasn’t impressed Five: | don’t play video games so often, but someone got me this one for my birthday, so | tried it out Its great! The idea is that you're trying to rescue a princess, and you have to fight lots of monsters to get to her It might look a bit old-fashioned, but | loved the bits where you have to fight You have to be really quick on the controls, but when you it right, it’s awesome The background music can get a bit annoying, but that’s not a major problem You should come round and play it some time Interviewer: And what can you for people? Tessa: When | sit down with people, the first thing | is explain that | can’t wave a magic wand and make it all the local environment and what we can all to help them to immediately stop using their cards Many people opinions, but first I'm talking to Robert Jackson Robert, disappear But | can at least stop it getting bigger | tell Unit 6, page 51, Listening Interviewer: Today on Nature Watch, we're talking about protect it We'll be talking to local people to get their just put them away somewhere, perhaps in a locked why don’t you start by telling us what exactly you there’s no chance of them being used again Then we work ‘out how much they can afford to pay back Interviewer: What happens to people after they see you? and | speak to local councils to help them develop their environmental programmes This means that | study the eventually pay off the money they owe, and they might even start using a card sensibly again Of course, there are a few who find themselves in the same situation a year or Interviewer: And what problems have you been looking at drawer, but | prefer my customers to cut them up, so that Tessa: Most of them manage to sort their problem out and two later It's very hard to know how to help those people For some, credit cards are just too tempting and it’s just too easy to spend a lot of money Interviewer: Tessa Crowe, thanks for coming to talk to us today Unit 5, page 43, Listening One: That sounds great We haven't done that for a long time Do you remember what happened last time? Yeah, that was funny Danny tried to kick it like a football and hurt himself In the end, though, he was really good at knocking them down, wasn't he? It'll make a change from losing to him at pool every weekend, anyway You contact everyone and see if they want to join us for a coffee afterwards, at that place round the corner ‘Two: My husband got the tickets, and it had been ages since we went to the theatre,so | was really looking forward to it | don’t know if you've been to the Royal Theatre, but they've changed it recently Do you remember? It used to be really cold and uncomfortable until they modernised it We had seats near the front, so we could see everything The performance looked great, and | loved the dresses the Tapescripts Unit 4, page 35, Listening Robert: Well, I’m a scientist and | travel all over the country local needs and the local problems and try to come up with ideas that councils can use to deal with the problems in our area? Robert: This area is quite interesting because there used to be alot of factories in the past These have mostly been replaced now by shopping centres or by housing for local people, but there are still some pollution problems left ehind Interviewer: What kind of problems? Robert: These places often burned a lot which of course adds to global warming, much we can about that at a local level of them gave off chemicals that can still of fossil fuels, but there's not However, many be found in the soil or even in some rivers One of my jobs is to help the council find ways to get rid of those chemicals and help nature recover in those areas Interviewer: What kind of things you suggest? Robert: There are really two main stages The first is to clean the soil and water usingfilters and special chemicals Then we need to build nature reserves to protect the area and to allow nature to the rest of the job You know, nature is very good at recovering from this kind of thing, as long as we give it the chance to With proper management, any areas affected by this kind of pollution should be back to normal within ten years Part of my job is to follow that process and check that everything is going well 125 Interviewer: Thanks, Robert, for telling us about what you Now let's listen to the opinions of a few local people Revision Unit 1, page 56, Listening One: | realised | had some free time on my hands, and | wanted to something useful for my local area, so | got involved in an environmental scheme It’s run by the local council They come up with a plan for which areas need cleaning up, and we it It's very varied — last week it was a beach, this week it's a river None of us get paid, it’s purely voluntary, and it’s not easy for everyone to spare the time, but we're all very proud of what we | wish I'd got involved years ago, because it's a great feeling to know that you're making a difference Two: In the end | stopped going to German lessons, so I'll have to find something else to with my weekend | don't know It was fun fora while, and | met some nice people It just became harder to justify the expense when the course fees went up, and | knew there wasn’t much chance of me going there on holiday | was just learning for personal interest, and | think | got what | wanted Now, for example, I could probably read a novel in German, as long as | had my dictionary with me So I’m looking for something else, preferably something free Any suggestions? Three: In my opinion, we are all too eagerto accept modern technology and everything it brings Companies bring out the latest thing and we all rush out and buy it, without really thinking about it The main problem is that we start to believe that we can have everything without making an effort We spend a relaxing evening online, and in order to communicate people on the other side of the world, all we have to is press a few buttons We come to think that anything that isn’t available to us instantly and easily is a waste of time, and | think that’s the real problem Four: Oh, it’s so annoying! | wish | hadn't gone now What happened was, | was going to stay over at Emma's place, and | told my mum we were going to revise for the exam, which was true She rang Emma's mum to check that everything was all right and that | could go over, but it turned out that Emma was in trouble for not doing something, the washing up, | think, Anyway, that meant | couldn't go round She’s always doing things like that It’s so annoying! Five: I've always loved insects, ever since | was a little boy There are so many different kinds that you could spend your whole life studying them and still only know a tiny amount They manage to find a way to live almost anywhere on Earth, even in places where lots of other things can’t, and that's what | find most impressive about them Whether it’s social species like ants, which work together to build a large colony, or solitary species who live on their own, you'll find an insect almost everywhere you look Isn't that amazing? Unit 7, page 65, Listening Speaker 1: Well, we did rugby in the winter, football in the spring and cricket in the summer And that was about it, really Whatever the weather, that’s what we played | was quite good at cricket, actually | was captain of the school team in my last year | wish we'd done the kind of things my kids cycling, and they ‘Speaker today You know, canoeing, karate, aerobics, that kindof thing, but it was only a small school, just didn’t have the facilities, more’s the pity 2: | went to rather an unusual school where we were encouraged not to see sport in terms of winning or losing | think the head teacher didn't like the idea of competition We did play hockey and tennis, but only for 126 fun, really, and | remember being really jealous of children at other schools who, if they were good enough, had the chance to play in the school team We didn’t have any, you see As far as | remember, we didn’t even have a school sports day Though | remember going on cross-country runs when it was too wet to play hockey We'd all run ina group — no winners again, you see! — and we'd all come back soaked | think we all quite enjoyed that, really Speaker 3: It’s only in the last five years or so that I've discovered the pleasures of doing sport | hated it at school | think it’s because we were forced to it 'm the kind of person who enjoys things they choose to do, but resents being made to something Especially playing football in the rain Anyway, | know most of the kids used to really look forward to two hours of games every afternoon, but | used to dread it At least | never ended up in a school team That would have been awful! Speaker 4: Do you know what really put me off sport at school? It was the fact that such a great emphasis was placed on being good Do you know what | mean? | think these days, it's all about taking part and having fun, and who cares how many goals you score? At my school it wasn't like that at all The kids who made it into the school teams were worshipped by the other kids - and by the teachers, to tell you the truth — and the other kids, like me, who weren't particularly good, well, we were looked down on Speaker 5: | think I'd have enjoyed it all a lot more if it hadn't always been so cold and wet | went to school in Tavistock in Devon, which is famous for its dreadful weather, It was either pouring with rain, or the ground was frozen hard Horrible! | remember once, near the start of term, | was tackled in a game of rugby | landed badly, and broke my arm | couldn't any sport for the rest of term, and | remember feeling so relieved that | wouldn't have to stand out there on the rugby pitch shivering for two hours like my friends! Unit 8, page 73, Listening Presenter: Susan Blake joins me now to talk about the newspaper The Daily Post, which was launched this week Susan, we've seen four issues of The Daily Post now |s it going to be a success, you think? Susan: Well, that's actually a very difficult question, and | think the only real answer is that time will tell But, | think they've got off to a good start, and | gather that two million people who bought yesterday's copy tend to agree Presenter: So, what are they doing right, in your opinion? Susan: Well, to start with, | think people like the fact that this is the size of a typical tabloid newspaper - it's not difficult to hold when you're standing on a train or bus, for example — but that there is actually quite a lot of news in it You know, real news, not just stories about celebrities and soap stars Secondly, a lot of newspapers only really appeal to people in their forties and fifties You know, people with houses and families and quite good jobs The Daily Post seems to be aimed at a younger audience too | can imagine some teenagers reading it, and students, and people in their twenties and thirties There's still plenty for people who are in their forties or older, of course, too Presenter: Now, many newspapers side with one political party against the other parties Do you get the feeling The Daily Post does that too? Susan: Well, they certainly claim that they're politically independent, and judging from the first four issues, | think that’s probably true They've attacked the government ‘on some things, and supported them on others We'll Tuesday Magazine We saw the first one yesterday, and that really was a bit poor | know it’s just an extra that ad Ti see if that changes over the next few months | suspect From that moment on, publishers we're queuing up to it might publish it! Presenter: Right Are there any things you don't like about the paper? Susan: There are definitely some things they can improve Unit 10, page 89, Listening | was about fifteen or sixteen, | suppose It had never They've only got one page for the day’s TV schedule, One: my mind to become a nurse before then, even which isn’t really enough, It would be a lot easier to read crossed if it was spread over two pages Also, they're going to though my mum was one | don’t think | ever really knew be producing a free magazine every Tuesday called The what she did, to be honest, though | guess I'd watched hospital dramas on TV Anyway, | had to go into hospital friendly and | thought: ‘That’s the kind of job that I'd like to have.’ Mum gave up nursing a few years ago now, and for an operation, and this nurse was just really kind and you get with the paper, but it was so full of adverts, it was, actually difficult to find any articles in it They'll have to she's rather pleased I've chosen the same job she better than that, I'd say ad Presenter: One final question Do you think the other Two: Certainly at the hospital where | work a lot has been newspapers should be worried? spent on new equipment over the past few years, and in Susan: Yes, | They're definitely going to see their sales that | think we're one of the best hospitals in the drop as people switch to The Daily Post They're going to wholerespect region Having said that, though, | can really only have to try hard to get them to come back, but I'm sure they will try | imagine in a couple of months or so the give a patient coming to see me about ten minutes for an other papers will drop their prices a little to encourage initial consultation Fifteen minutes maximum So| think it often feels to the patient like it’s all a bit rushed, which is people to buy them again a shame We have a lot of forms to fill in, of course, but Unit 9, page 81, Listening Presenter: Joining me in the studio today is the well-known author Craig Danton Craig, welcome to the show Thanks so much for coming in today Craig: You're very welcome! Presenter: Craig, your latest novel, The Forgotten Children, has sold over a million copies and these days you're a highly respected writer Was it easy to get your first novel published? Craig: My first novel? To be honest, | didn't even try to get that published! | wrote it when | was a university student, and, once I'd finished it, put it away in a drawer and started on the next one Presenter: Really? Do you think you'll publish it at some time in the future? Craig: No, no It really wasn't very good at all | don't think I developed the characters properly, and the plot was a bit weak, to tell you the truth But the thing about being a writer is that the more you write, the better you get, so it wasn't a waste of time Without it, | couldn't have written my second novel Presenter: And that was Darkness at Midday? Craig: Darkness at Midday, that's right Presenter: And how easy was it to get that published? Craig: Well, it took me about three years! When | finished it, | sent it off to a publisher in London A few months later, they politely replied that it wasn’t for them, so I sent it to another one And the same thing happened again and again and again Presenter: How many rejection letters did you get in total? Craig: Seventeen! Presenter: There must have been times when you wanted to give up, when you thought, ‘I'm never going to get this book published.” Craig: There were definitely times when | thought that, but no, I never wanted to give up There are so many stories of successful books being turned down initially, you just need lots of determination to keep going If the book's good enough, you'll find a publisher in the end Presenter: Like you did Craig: Yes Well actually, for that book, | entered it into a competition for unpublished writers and it won first place that's just part of the job, really, and you have to find time for it somehow Three: The thing is, Debbie, | know you really want to go on this diet, but you're actually not overweight at all and | don’t really know anything about it They're always warning people not to go on special diets without talking to a doctor first, so how about we make an appointment for you to see Dr Marshall? If he says it's okay, then we can talk about it further Four: For about three days before | went, | was really scared It's silly, isn’t it, but I'd just got it into my head that it would be really painful and I'd have to sit in the chair for ages and it would just be a really unpleasant thing Well, when | got there, he was so friendly and just put me at my ease, that | didn’t even mind when he said | had to have three fillings It was clear he knew what he was doing, and | was just happy to let him get on with his job Five: = So, what seems to be the problem with old Buggies, ere? Boy: Well, Usually he living room, his eyes, He just sits I'm not sure, but something's not quite right spends several hours a day running round the but he hasn't done that recently If you look in it’s like he’s a bit sad or something Depressed there Vet: | see What about his eating habits? Have they changed at all? Boy: Let me think No, he's still eating the same amount each day Yeah, that hasn't changed Unit 11, page 97, Listening Speaker 1: | took my driving test about twenty years ago, and it really was the strangest experience ever | was driving along, doing what | was told You know, ‘turn left at the end of the road, then take the next right.’ That kind of thing When all ofa sudden the examiner shouted ‘Stop!" | didn’t know what I'd done wrong A man ran up to the car, and said his wife was really ill and had to get to the hospital now Well, we took them | didn’t actually know the way to the hospital, so all the way it was ‘turn left at the end of the road"! | did drive faster than you in the normal test, though We got there okay and the examiner said it had been the most unusual test he'd ever been involved in | passed! 127 Speaker 2: I'd just moved to Scotland, and really needed a car where | lived, so | decided to have lessons They were fine, but when it came to the test, the person testing me had a really really broad Scottish accent, and | just couldn’t make out anything he said Every time he gave me an instruction, | had to ask him to repeat it at least three times He was very kind, though, and didn't penalise me for that, thank goodness Speaker3: | was so nervous in my test and | made a really stupid mistake We'd been driving around for about three minutes when the examiner said ‘I'd like you to turn left at the T-junction up ahead.’ Now, | know the difference between left and right, and I did hear him clearly say ‘left’, but for some reason which I'll never understand ~ I guess | just wasn't thinking clearly | indicated to go right, and actually turned right at the T-junction | failed that time, but passed the next time I took the test Speaker 4: | suppose it's what everyone dreads happening in their test —and it happened to me We'd just started the test and | was changing gear —| think| was going from first to second gear — when the gear stick came right off in my hand | couldn’t believe it! It was totally broken It wasn’t my fault, of course, and the examiner was very good about it We had to start the test again in a different car Speaker5: | was in a panic when | took my test The whole day had gone badly, and | nearly didn't make it to the test centre on time Anyway, | definitely wasn’t relaxed at all, and we were doing that bit where you have to reverse around a corner So what did | do? | drove straight into a parked car | didn’t a lot of damage — there was just a tiny bump really — but it was enough for me to fail the test, of course Unit 12, page 105, Listening Woman: And in other news today, a bizarre burglary in Leeds has left police baffled Joseph and Mary Carter woke up yesterday morning to find that all the doors and windows of their three-bedroom house in the Wakefield district of the city had been stolen Toby Marsh tells us more Toby: Before Joseph and Mary Carter went to bed last night, they shut the windows and locked the front door as usual But when they woke up this morning, they were gone Mary: | got up first, at about six o'clock, and | pulled back the curtains in the bedroom, and this cold blast of air hit me The window had gone | woke Joseph, and that’s when we discovered what had happened Joseph: We couldn't believe it We didn’t hear a thing in the night How on earth could someone take all the doors and windows of our house without us hearing a thing? It doesn't make sense The worst thing is we only had them fitted a couple of months ago They were brand new Toby: Police officers on the scene are baffled Police officer: It’s one of the strangest crimes I've ever witnessed, and I've been on the force for over fifteen years There are so many things about this we don’t understand Why would someone take all the doors and windows? How did they it so quietly? Why didn’t they take anything else? The Carters had a brand-new colour TV in the living room That’s still there It’s quite peculiar Toby: Officers are currently interviewing neighbours in the hope that someone saw or heard something Meanwhile, Joseph and Mary Carter and boarding up their windows and doors until they can be replaced 128 Revision Unit 2, page 110, Listening Presenter: In the news again this week is another story about language and genetics Scientists are claiming they have more evidence for there being a ‘language gene’ So, I'm glad to have Carol Dickinson, Professor of Linguistics at Charleston University in the studio with me to try to make sense of all this Carol, thanks for coming in Carol: My pleasure Presenter: Carol, the idea that there's a specific gene in our bodies that gives us language strikes many of us as being a bit silly Can it possibly be true? Carol: Yes, it does seem silly, doesn’t it? The problem is often with the way this is reported Journalists take something a scientist has said, and report it as something entirely different We both speak English People in Japan speak Japanese Now clearly it’s nothing to with genetics, with our DNA, that we speak English and they speak Japanese Which language you speak is purely down to environmental factors Presenter: So, ifit’s nature versus nurture, it's nurture that determines what language we speak? Carol: That's right, and that’s just common sense What scientists have been asking for a while now, though, is why humans acquire language so easily, whereas other animals, apes for example, don’t? And what the evidence suggests is that there is something in our DNA, in our genes, that gives us the ability to pick up language And that’s what some people call ‘the language gene’, although of course it may be more than one gene that helps it all happen Presenter: But, what you seem to be talking about ~ language gene —f it’s true, then it applies to all languages in the world, right? Carol: That's right Presenter: But — and maybe I'm wrong here - languages are very very different How can there be something in all of us that can enable us to learn so many different languages? Do you see what | mean? Chinese has a totally different set of grammatical rules to English, doesn't it? Carol: That’s actually a really interesting, and important question If you're right, if there are languages in the world that have absolutely nothing in common, then it’s unlikely that there’sa language gene in all of us But what share a large number of characteristics we've found is that in fact all the languages in the world Presenter: For example? Carol: Well, for example, all human languages have nouns, verbs and adjectives And all languages follow certain rules IfI say to you ‘You are a radio presenter’, in English we can make that a question by swapping round the subject and the verb: ‘Are you a radio presenter?’ Other languages it differently, of course, but there isn’t a single language in the world where they make a question by reversing the word order of the whole sentence: ‘Presenter radio a wate you?’ So all languages follow quite strict rules, which we sometimes call ‘the universal grammar’ The differences are minor in comparison It's been said, and | agree with this, that if a Martian came down to Earth, he'd think we all spoke the same language, with just a few minor regional differences Laser :2 A modern, fun and exciting First Certificate course specifically CCS TR elm Ur ee Laser B2 offers thorough and systematic exam preparation together with solid grammar and vocabulary development to help give students the skills they need when taking the First Certificate exam eS ayo) ø_ Twelve engaging and motivating topic-based units, plus two revision units Lexical and grammatical syllabus based on the Vantage level of the Council of Europe's Common European Framework of Reference Integrated development of key reading, writing, listening Pree Systematic development of topic-based lexis and lexico-grammar, including collocations, word patterns, word formation, phrasal verbs and confusable words Comprehensive practice for all five papers of the revised FCE exam ecu nee ars Grammar database, Speaking database, Writing database, Key word database and Phrasal verb database, for students' reference Reading and listening practice in the Workbook and the photocopiable Tests A CD-ROM with every Student's Book providing motivating reinforcement of the structures and vocabulary taught in every unit of Laser B2 COMPONENTS Student's Book with CD-ROM Workbook with Key, with Audio CD Workbook without Key, with Audio CD Teacher's Book with photocopiable Tests and Audio CD Class Audio CDs ISBN 978-960-64 Council of TS B2 bó HN KT ea with this boojk 960414 |
