Secondary ELT Readers Level 3 - Level 4: Black Gold (Book and CD) by Rod Smith (author)

Based on a remarkable documentary film, Black Gold tells the story of one man’s mission to save his 74,000 Ethiopian coffee farmers from Western exploitation. It exposes the truth behind every cappuccino we drink and asks: is it right that the producers of our coffee often can’t afford clean water or an education for their children?

Level 3 (Intermediate): For students with 3+ years of English – CEF Stage B1. 1500 headwords (story: up to 10,000 words)
