Vocabulary and structures used in the texts have been carefully controlled at each level, while the language has been kept natural and lively.
Units are divided into seven thematic parts each focusing on a unique American phenomenon or personality, from Amelia Earhart and Bill Gates to body language and Las Vegas. An expanded pre-reading section in each unit helps students prepare for the reading. Each unit's new writing activity encourages students to write about topics related to the unit's themes.
