What is this book?

At Class 7 level English means reading real texts (stories, poems, articles, reports, speeches, interviews), writing in many forms (paragraphs, letters, diary entries, play scripts, blurbs, persuasive entries) and speaking and listening with confidence. Oxford Progressive English 7 does all of this through ten themed units.

The strength of the book is its map of learning outcomes. For every unit it gives the reading texts with their text types (narrative, expository, persuasive), the themes (peace and co-existence, festivals and cultural events, crisis awareness, health and drug education, personality development, adventure, patriotism) and the skills: vocabulary, grammar, writing, discussion and listening.

The texts mix voices from Pakistan and the world: Peaceful Hunza, Mughal Elephants and Presents from My Aunts in Pakistan sit next to The Great Fire of London 1666, A Christmas Story, White Water Rafting in Russia and a Dickens extract. Many units end with a listening text, such as Iconic Places in London, The Spice Market (Middle East) and Karachi's Water Shortage.

The ten units in three stages

Units 1 to 3 (pages 2–67). Peace, diversity, festivals and crisis. The texts are about kindness and conflict, origami cranes and the Great Fire of London. The first writing tasks are shape poems and paragraphs.

Units 4 to 5 and the first revision (pages 68–107). Food, health, fire and the media. Persuasive writing starts here ("What is a blurb?") and the first Let's Revise section checks units 1 to 5.

Units 6 to 10 and the second revision (pages 108–end). Poems and short stories, adventure and mountaineering, the Dickens extract and heroes. Writing becomes longer and more formal (a persuasive entry, a nomination letter). The second Let's Revise section checks units 6 to 10.
