More about the DVD

Did you know that the DVD-ROM at the back of your course book is actually meant for self-study? Most course books come with homework or home study sections or extra books. This one doesn't. It has the DVD-ROM which offers a much more interesting way to study, revise, and learn.

DVD-ROM• Interactive practice of the vocabulary, grammar, writing and pronunciation in each unit
• Full-screen, high-resolution video
• Business Dilemmas - realistic, interactive business problem-solving scenarios
• Editable model business documents
• Downloadable MP3 files of all the Student's Book audio, for iPod or MP3 player.
As you work your way through the DVD-ROM you will see your status (at the top right hand corner) move up from Intern all the way to CEO. I wonder how many of you make it to CEO?

Weloome to your English blog

Dear Students,
I have set up this blog to accompany us through your English lessons over the next 3 years. Every now and then (hopefully regularly) I will be adding new information so please make sure you visit the blog before and/or after our lessons.

I will also try to add links and information from our lessons so you can use it to help you revise.

This blog is intended to be a place where I can give you hints and tips on learning English and post information about our sessions and your end of term tests. Let's see how we get on with it.
