Taboos and Issues (by Richard MacAndrew & Ron Martinez)

Политически некоррекетные шутки, сексуальные домогательства, развод, права сексуальных меньшинств, легализация наркотиков.. темы, которые обычно избегают не только в учебниках, но и в обществе. Данное пособие знакомит учащегося с выражениями и предлагает на обсуждение различные "щекотливые" темы.
В дополнение к вышеуказанным темам здесь так же присутствуют упражнения по применению тех или иных выражений.

Politically incorrect jokes, sexual harassment, divorce, gay rights, body image, drug legalization . . . issues that are normally avoided in textbooks become the heart of this cutting-edge resource. Ideal for adults and young people who want the opportunity to discuss more controversial issues, these entirely photocopiable lessons tackle "taboos" in a means far from being bland! In addition to the above topics, you'll find language exercises on swear words, nudity, gun possession, racism, animal rights, beggars, anxiety and depression, sex change, bribery and corruption, infidelity, and the death penalty.
