There is a list of units at the beginning of the book (Contents). Do not study all the units in order from beginning to end. It is better to. choose the units that you need to do. For example, if you have a problem with the present perfect (I have beer, hue has done etc.) study Units 15-20. Use the Contents or the Index (at the back of the book) to find the unit {or units) that you need. If you are not sure which units you need to study, use the Study guide at the back of the book. Study guide (pages 271-282) Each unit is owo pages. ‘The information is on she left-hand page and she exercises are on the right: Information Exercises Soudy the left-hand page (information), and then do the exercises on the right-hand page. ‘Use the Key to check your answers. The Key is fon pages 283-309. Saudy the lefi-hand page again if necessary. Don't forget the seven Appendices at the back of the book (pages 243-251). These sill give you information bout active and passive forms, irregular verbs, short formns, spelling and phrasal verbs. ‘There are also Additional xorcses at the back of the Sook (pages 252-270). ‘There isa list of these exercises on page 252. CD Rom You can buy this book with or without CD Rom, On the CD Rom there ate more exercises on all the units, and these are different from the exercises in the book. There are also more than 600 test questions. The most important features of this book are: C It is a gramunar book. It does not deal with other aspects of the language. 1 It is for elementary learners. It does not cover areas of grammar which are not normally tanght at elementary level. O Iris a reference book with exercises. It is not a course book and is not organised progressively. 1 It is addressed to learners and intended for self-study. Organisation of the book ‘There are 115 units in the book, each one focusing on a particular area of grammar. The material is organised in. grammatical categotics, such as tenses, questions and articles. Unity are not ordered according to difficulty, and should therefore be selected and used in the order appropriate for the learner(9). The book should ot be worked through from beginning to end. The units are listed in the Contents and there is a comprehensive Index at the end of the book. ach unit has the same format consisting of ewo facing pages. The grammar poine is presented and explained on the left-hand page and the corresponding exercises are on the right. There ate seven Appendices (pages 243-251) dealing with active and passive forms, irregular verbs, short forms (contractions), spelling and phrasal verbs. Tt might be useful for teachers to draw students’ attention to these. At the back of the book there is a set of Additional exercises (pages 252-270). These exercises provide ‘mixed’ practice bringing together grammar points from a number of different units (especially those concerning verb forms). There are 35 exercises in this section and there is a full fist on page 252. Also at the back of the book there is a Study guide to help students decide which units to study ~ see page 271. Finally, there is a Key (pages 283-309) for students to check their answers to all the exercises in. the book. An edition without the Study guide and Key is available for teachers who would prefer it for their students. Level ‘The book is for elementary learners, 1.¢. learners with very little English, but not tor complete beginners. It is intended mainly for elementary students who are beyond the early stages of a beginners’ course. It could alo be used by low-intermediate learners whose grammar is weaker than other aspects of their English or who have problems with particular areas of basic grammar ‘The explanations are addressed to the elementary learner and are therefore as simple and as short as possible. The vocabulary used in the examples and exercises has also been restricted so that the book can be used at this level, Using the book The book can be used by students working alone (see Te the student) or as supplementary course material. In either case the book can serve as an elementary grammar book ‘When used as course material, the book can be used for immediate consohdation or for Jater revision or remedial work. It might be used by the whole class or by individual students needing extra help and practice. one cases it may be desirable to use the left-hand pages (presentation and explanation) in bur it should be noted that these have been written for individual study and reference. se cases, it would probably be better for teachers to present the grammar point in their sway with the exercises being done for homework, The left-hand page is then for later reference by the student. ceachers may prefer to keep the book for revision and remedial work. In this case, students or groups of students can be directed to the appropriate units for self-study practice, ‘Rom book is sold with or without a CD Rom. This contains farther exercises on all the units she book, as well as a bank of more than 600 test questions from which users can select to their own tests. ‘The CD Rom is also available separately.
