It covers each of the key areas needed for study at progressive levels of difficulty, using illustrations and examples where necessary. Intended for use up to First Examination level, the book contains strategies for practising and remembering words, and helps learners build up and use their range of vocabulary. Activities in each section provide reinforcement, and answers are included at the back.
