Writing In Plain English

Jargon, gobbledegook, bureaucratese, vagueness, obscurity, passivity, verbosity, ambiguity, disorganisation - all of these are faults that prevent us from expressing our thoughts in plain English.
Solution? This is a thorough, and sometimes amusing approach to the mechanics and style of clear expression.

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.
