Focus 2, Students Book, Kay S., Jones W., Brayshaw D., 2020.

We are writing to you to introduce the new edition of Focus, our five-level course for upper secondary students. As writers, it is always a privilege to be invited to ‘have another go’ and we are grateful to our publisher Pearson for giving us this opportunity. At the same time, we are particularly wary of introducing change for change’s sake. ’If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ is a maxim we set great store by. In our own classrooms, we are still using ideas and teaching techniques that we learnt early on in our careers. Why? Because they still work.

‘I love living with the circus. I have a lot of fun, but I also work really hard. I work long hours and I don’t have any free time at the weekend. I only have one day off a week when I can go out with my friends.
The day begins very early for the circus. I’m not a morning person - I hate getting up early. But I need to practise a lot because I’m still training. So, on a typical day, I get up at 6 a.m. and go jogging before breakfast. I practise for about eight hours every day, and then we do a show in the evening.

It is only in chapter six of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer that we are introduced to Huckleberry Finn. Homeless and carefree, his father a vagabond and a drunk, the teenage boy is idolised by the local children and detested by their parents. Bad influence or not, Huck strikes up a friendship with Tom and the boys become inseparable. That’s the beauty of a firm and long-lasting friendship - you associate with someone and sing their praises in spite of their shortcomings.

A recent survey shows that there are reasons why teenagers behave badly. The study suggests that teenagers need to sleep more and that is why sixty-five percent of parents say their teenagers are bad-tempered, uncommunicative and lazy.
The report also shows that most teenagers are obsessed with their phones. They spend more time chatting online or playing computer games than doing homework. Most parents also say that their teenage children are selfish and unhelpful. Only a few of them help with housework at home.
