Introduction
The aim of this book is to help learners of English to read more effectively by presenting and developing the various skills needed for successful reading comprehension. The passages are all examples of contemporary British and American English taken from a variety of sources such as newspapers, magazines, novels, advertising material and instructions. None of them have been written specially for foreign students, and only three have been adapted to make them slightly easier to understand. The book is suitable for all advanced learners of English and in particular, for students who are preparing the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency examination. Each unit also includes a variety of suggestions for further language activities such as group discussion work, roleplays, intensive vocabulary study and writing practice. Triese extra activities allow the book to be used either as the basis or as part of any advanced course of English.
Structure of the book
There are 45 units in this book. Each unit contains:
— One or two reading passages
— Eour or five exercises, each one designed to present or develop a specific reading skill or an examination skill (such as Writing Summaries)
— Suggestions for further work on the theme which has been introduced by the passage; these can be used in class or as tasks for homework.
If you choose to do all the exercises in each unit, they will take about 60-90 minutes to complete. However, it may not always be necessary to do all the exercises (see How to use this book). Your teacher will help you decide which reading skills you need to develop and which exercises to do.
