Grammar in Context Intermediate

This book is designed to revise and consolidate grammar points at the level of CEF B1 and B2. The practice material includes a wide range of topics to reflect both everyday language  use and the kinds of subjects learners might be studying in schools or colleges. Within each unit, exercises range in difficulty. This allows learners to build up their confidence with the simpler, more familiar tasks before moving onto the more challenging ones later in the unit. The review section at the back of the book offers more activities for students who have finished the other exercises. In addition, it can also be used as a means of testing or revising previous study, either in class or at home.

How To Write Critical Essays

There are so many practical suggestions in this book that you are almost certain to find some of them useful if you want your essays to gain higher marks. But it assumes that you want more than that. If you have no worthier aim than impressing your teachers, essay-writing will at best seem a bore. At worst it will induce panic. The process of researching, planning and writing a critical essay can, and should, be enjoyable. If, at present, the prospect of such an exercise seems either dismal or daunting, that is almost certainly because you have not yet thought hard enough about your own aims in writing criticism. So this book will pose some of the questions which you need to ponder if you are ever to discover what is, for you, the purpose and pleasure in composing critical essays.
