              How to use this book






              This workbook provides questions for you to practise what you have learned in class.

              There is a unit to match each unit in your Learner’s Book. Each exercise is divided into

              three parts:

              •  Focus: these questions help you to master the basics

              •  Practice: these questions help you to become more confident in using what you
                  have learned

              •  Challenge: these questions will make you think very hard.

              You might not need to work on all three parts of each exercise. Your teacher will tell you

              which parts to do.

              You will also find these features:
