Description
Teachers who viewed the text before publication commented: 'Workbook activities are much more up-to-date and relevant than in other textbooks.'
'Both text and workbook are closer to reality and near the point than our existing books.' 'Good to see that a lot of pointless information has been left out.' 'I like the detailed but simply laid out links to the workbook.' 'Simpler language used than other textbooks.' 'The activities and questions are a most effective part of the book.' 'Incorporating exam style questions early on is an excellent idea . . . I have not encountered this in any of the textbooks we use.' 'The language of the text is clear and appropriate for both higher and ordinary level students.'
