What you get
This upper-intermediate ESL workbook dives into a hot-button issue: banning social media for under-16s. Using authentic news content, students explore multiple viewpoints, build powerful argumentation skills, and practice real-world vocabulary for debating, summarizing, and presenting complex ideas – all while sharpening their listening, reading, and speaking fluency.
The vocabulary section equips students with precise, high-impact language for discussing laws, digital rights, and online safety. Phrases like “pass the law,” “comply with regulations,” “face huge fines,” and “put the onus on” help learners express complex opinions confidently – perfect for debates, discussions, and real-world news analysis.
