extr@! English is a brand new television series that will help you learn English. It is the story of
four young people who live in London. Three of them are English and one is from Argentina.
Two of the characters work for a television company, one is an actor and the other is a student.
You will see them at work and play — they have fun, they fall in love, they break up, they argue —
sometimes all on the same day! They meet some really unusual people and have amusing and
incredible adventures.
There are 30 episodes of extr@! This workbook contains fun activities and exercises for episodes
1-15. Each TV episode is divided into three parts. There are four pages of Workbook activities, plus
an extra page of grammar practice at the back of this book, to accompany each episode.
