Review:
"The exercises and activities are varied enough in both texts to appeal to a wide range of interests and to satisfy all pedagogical needs. Some are personalized. Many are creative. Some are thought provoking. Each teacher can select activities according to his/her own teaching philosophy. The inclusion of both pre and post reading activities in L is excellent."

"I think that the balance between the different skills is excellent and quantitatively and qualitatively very good. I like the "temas para la discusion" section and the composition activities and suggestions."
