Vorwort The insight Student's Book provides everything your students need to engage with their learning in the classroom. Zusammenfassung There are ten units in the Student's Book. Each unit is divided into five sections (A-E), with a Vocabulary insight page and a Review. After every two units, there is a Cumulative review.
