This essential resource contains 24 picture stories each accompanied by a variety of mixed-skills tasks, culminating in the students writing their own version of the story. The stories cover various genres including reportage, human interest stories and comedy. A CD with transcripts and interviews is also provided. Those act as models for the students before preparing their own interviews and stories.
Ideal for improving fluency, this title also offers vocabulary building exercises such as cloze tests, word puzzles and matching tasks.
An immensely popular course, fully updated to meet the requirements of the FCE exam. It can be used as a thorough preparation course for the revised First Certificate exam. To tell you the truth I love using it because of the workbook’s excellent taskmaterial and the great listening tasks. Student's book is from a photocopy, but quite OK quality. It has 20 motivating, theme-based units and very clear format for ease of use. Exam preparation is dealt with progressively, starting with simpler versions of the tasks to build confidence. It concentrates on thorough development of all four skills. Rule-finding approach to grammar, cross-referenced to a comprehensive Grammar Summary at the back of the book. Includes substantial vocabulary work and rigorous writing syllabus with models and practice for different task types. Extensive training for the full range of speaking tasks in Paper 5.

Fast Track to FCE Tests Each unit test is designed to cover the language areas in the corresponding unit of Fast Track to FCE Coursebook, using the exact format of Paper 3 of the First Certificate in English examination. There are three Progress tests, after Unit 4, 8 and 12 and these test the language from the previous four units. In addition to Paper 3 tasks, the Progress tests also include reading and writing tasks from Paper 1 and 2 of
the exam. This test booklet includes an eight page pull-out answer key in the middle. We recommend using the test booklet as follows: hand out a test booklet to each student together with a photocopy of the answer sheets supplied with the answer key. Tell students to mark their answers on the answer sheets only, not in the test booklet. After you have administered the test and checked the answers, collect the
test booklets back in from your students. You can re-use them with another class, or the following year.
