Getting Started Welcome to the final year of lower secondary school! We hope Crossroads 10A and 10B will help you to improve your English and to inspire you to read and learn even more. The two final books in the Crossroads series will take you to many interesting places and introduce you to people who will widen your horizon. Last, but not least, you will have the opportunity to read literature that will hopefully provide you with wonderful reading experiences and at the same time stimulate you to reflect on important issues. In Crossroads 8A the main focus was on Great Britain and in Crossroads 9A the spotlight was on the USA. On the last leg of the journey you will be focusing your attention on the rest of the Englishspeaking world: the Commonwealth of Nations. The first chapter is devoted to this organization of former British colonies, and you will also find information about the Commonwealth countries in the topics covered by the remaining chapters.
