Samantha Simmonds Stephen Street Kitchen
Samantha Simmonds, former journalist with
BBC and news anchor at Sky News, attempts to
answer the following questions:
Why do Fox News and CNN offer such
different content?
Why does Donald Trump brand CNN
"fake news"?
How do journalists on live TV source
their material and seek to guarantee its
authenticity?
How can we differentiate between the
impartiality or otherwise of TV news in
the UK versus that in the US?
E2, for International English, consists of three parts:
Part One: Succeeding in International English
This short part presents six fundamental concepts: “audience, purpose, genre, structure, and
language”. By understanding and making use of these, students will improve their English skills.
Part Two: Going International
This part contains four chapters according to the competence aims under Culture, society and
literature: Global Issues, Multicultural Societies, The Media and Work and Education.
Part Three: Communicating Better
20 courses provide systematic instructions and model answers to help students acquire the
necessary language and communication skills needed on the exam, in further studies and
working life.
