Pre intermediate Language Leader / Unit 12

This writing activity has been designed to accompany Pre- Intermediate Language Leader, unit 12 but can be done on its own as well. The activity starts out with two power point presentations which establish the framework and the main points to be discussed, the first video introduces these same points and provides some support, the short reading passages provide more support and the last video rounds everything off.
