As well as multiple choice and open-ended comprehension questions (following the pattern of the author's previous book, Listen to This'), there are exercises for aural discrimination, vocabulary extension, structure and usage, and guided composition, and keys to all 20 units.The course is suitable both for students at secondary school level and for adults, and will be valuable as preparation for the Cambridge First Certificate and Cambridge Proficiency examinations.The Lucky Story of the Holiday Money
