Vor mehr als 61 Jahren bestieg Königin Elisabeth II. den Thron: viel Zeit für ein bewegtes Leben. Dieser Reader behandelt die vielen Veränderungen, gesellschaftlich und politisch, die während ihrer Amtszeit stattfanden. Dabei ist auch die Geschichte der Royals von Bedeutung, vom tragischen Tod der berühmten Prinzessin Diana bis zum Generationswechsel der new royals Prinz William, Kate Middleton und Prinz Harry.

I've been involved in EFL in one way or another all my working life and enjoyed every aspect! I spent many happy years in the classroom teaching a range of nationalities, ages and levels and also several years as a DOS (which was much more of a headache!) I was a teacher trainer for many years too. I've done a lot of work with exams and was an examiner for Cambridge ESOL. I now do a lot of item writing for several different papers which I find very stimulating. My greatest interest in recent years has been in writing and I'm lucky to have published quite a lot of materials. These include SkillsWork a higher level integrated skills book for Delta which came out earlier this year. I also really enjoy writing readers. EFL has been kind to me and through it I've met some amazing people. These days I spend most of my time writing and I'm very happy doing so. Long may it last!
