Customer Reviews

Excellent resource but proceed with caution!
This is a really great resource and it generates a lot of discussion every time I use it in class. It also has some great language and vocabulary points which my students normally love - a particular favourite is 'Not My Type' where the vocabulary includes 'bad dandruff' and 'a big beer belly'. It can be a little controversial for some students and I would think carefully about whether your students are easily offended before buying it. However, I personally couldn't do without this resource and I take it everywhere I go - it's fantastic for developing speaking skills.

Great for adults
My students love talking about anything remotely risque or controversial, and this book covers the lot, from begging to brothels. The worksheets are clearly laid out with a variety of activities. Needless to say, definitely one for more open minded adults, but a great resource to spice up classes.

Tremendous teaching resource
I currently teach several classes of French students doing their Bac, and this book is absolutely invaluable as a source of lesson topics. It is always a good idea to augment the standard plans herein with current news stories for comparison, but this is still the perfect basis for lessons on a very wide range of subjects. Highly recommended for ELAs!
