Global Challenges
Over the coming lessons, we will explore global challenges that affect people, communities and the planet. We will use real-world issues to practise the English skills needed for Cambridge B1–B2 examinations.
Throughout this theme, you will practise reading, listening, speaking and writing. You will learn to discuss complex issues, understand different perspectives, support arguments with reasons and examples, and use a wider range of vocabulary.
These are useful skills for Cambridge B1 Preliminary and B2 First, especially in speaking discussions, writing tasks and reading or listening exercises.
