For students who are not sure what B1 English is, here is an extract from a story in the book. The B1 words are shown in dark type.
"There was something about the seaside town where Animos lived and had been brought up that she didn’t like. It was obviously beautiful, that’s why so many tourists came nearly all year round to stay there: a white waterfall of little houses that dropped down from the mountain to the sea's edge. Bolonia, a tiny Greek island - shiny and bright in the clear blue of the Mediterranean Sea. Its harbour was full of colourful fishing boats and pleasure boats of all sizes, and around it there were souvenir shops, cafés, restaurants and bars, which were very lively during the summer months."
M. A. Bilbrough has been an English teacher for nearly 30 years. He holds a PhD doctorate from Seville University in second language acquisition methodology. He now specialises in preparing students for the Cambridge English exams. He runs the popular Practising English Podcast available on all major podcast platforms.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Revaluation Books, Hounslow, United Kingdom, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
