> lntroducti n Welcome to Stage 7 of Cambridge Lower Secondary English. We've designed this book to help you develop your English skills and also to introduce you to some really interesting stories and articles. You'll begin by studying a fantastic adventure story about a character with a very unusual skill and finish by reading a spine-chilling tale about a deadly sea creature. You'll read fiction, non-fiction, poetry and drama about exciting cities, futuristic schools and fame. We hope you'll really enjoy the two complete short stories in this book. One of them features a strange character below the earth and the other is about time travel. Reading complete short stories will give you a better understanding of structure and theme. By the time you've completed this book, you will be able to write persuasively, analyse language in more depth and write an entertaining playscript. There are plenty of opportunities to work in pairs and groups on presentations and projects. You'll sharpen your language skills and you will learn about some very interesting older texts in a fun way, as well as developing 2lst century skills. Try using the reflection and assessment activities too - they'll help you to become a more confident and independent learner. Good luck on the next stage of your learning journey.
