This book is designed to revise and consolidate grammar points at the level of Cambridge ESOL Proficiency and CAE or Common European Framework levels Cl and C2.
This revised edition updates the material in accordance with changes to Cambridge Proficiency and CAE, but also provides a range of practice formats for this level.
The grammar section includes additional revision and more advanced points. Units on phrasal verbs, prepositions and linking devices are also included. There are also sections on spelling and punctuation.
The grammatical information provided can be used for reference when needed or worked through systematically.
The vocabulary section includes topic-based vocabulary, collocations and idiomatic phrases, as well as word formation and multiple meaning. It also recycles work on prepositions and phrasal verbs.
The book can be used as a self-study reference grammar and practice book or as supplementary material in classes preparing for the CAE and Proficiency exams. If used for classwork, activities can be done individually or co-operatively in pairs or small groups.
There are regular consolidation units which include forms of testing commonly used in both exams and the material covers a range of difficulty appropriate to both exams.
