📖 Lesson B2 Reading👫 People & Relationships

📷 Looking Back

Students read an original memoir written from the perspective of Vera, a 78-year-old woman from northern England who reflects on her life from post-war childhood through the arrival of television, the 1960s, marriage, and the digital revolution. The past perfect tense is woven naturally throughout as Vera sequences events in her past. An interactive chronological ordering game tests sequencing skills, while speaking and writing tasks invite students to share their own memories and family stories.
