The Cutting Edge course books have been in use since 1999. 
There are six books in the series, from Starters to Advanced. 

The Cutting Edge series is a complete education package. There are videos, tapes, and cassettes. There is also a mini-dictionary and vocabulary the students need for their course.

More about the books.
They are arranged in modules. 
Each module has a theme (houses, fame and fortune, appearances and so on). 
The modules are broken into smaller parts.
The modules start with Grammar. 
They also have Vocabulary and Functions.
They include a section on input skills (listening and reading). 
Output skills (speaking and writing) are divided into 'tasks' which often have a role-play involved. 
This technique helps students to learn because they get used to the vocabulary and ideas in each module, and can concentrate on doing the exercises.

The pages of the books are very colorful. Exercises often have colored backgrounds and there are color photographs and drawings on almost every page.

The exercises can take between 10 minutes and 45 minutes, or even longer with some of the role-plays. 

Who is this book for? 
The Cutting Edge series is excellent. In fact, if you wanted to learn English using only one set of course books, then it would be possible with Cutting Edge. 

These books are good for learning general English.

Working in a gaming environment taught me how to get along with many different ages. Most of my clients were aged between 7 and 35. I also learned a lot about different games, so I have plenty to talk about when it comes to gaming.

Working as a biltong assistant I learned how to help adults when buying one of Africa's cultural foods. Biltong and braai is a big thing in South Africa and many individuals buy these products, when their favorite sport team is playing. While working in this industry I learned a lot about the preparation of biltong and it is a rather interesting topic as biltong, also known as jerky, is not widely sold across the world.

At A&R Cleaning Services I learned a lot about working with people. It was my responsibility to teach the staff how to operate the industrial cleaning machines, as well as, how to work safely in their environment. I had to teach the staff all about different techniques and equipment we used. Above this it was my responsibility to work with the clients by scheduling appointments, answer phone calls, over seeing that each job is done to the best of our ability and resolving issues.

I learned the basics of how to teach English online. 
I gained 6 months of experience.
