What is this book?

It is the main English coursebook for Class 5. Each unit is organised in the same way, and the contents table has columns for the text type, the reading texts, the writing tasks, the speaking and listening activities, the language focus, vocabulary, cross-curricular links and the "21st-century skills" that children practise. This means that the book trains reading, writing, speaking, listening and language knowledge together.

The Pakistan edition includes texts and settings that connect to Pakistani life, most visibly in the last unit, "Pakistan – Our country", which has a school calendar, a report card, a map, and a brochure about the Margalla Hills.
