To the student

I

This Personal Study Book provides you with two pages of extra exercises and activities for each unit of the Studenfs Book. The exercises and activities are designed to reinforce what you have studied and they cover vocabulary, grammar, reading and writing.

It is a good idea to do the work in each unit of the Personal Study Book after you have finished the unit in the Studenfs Book. This will help you to remember things you have studied. You will need to write your ans wers in your notebook. Do the exercises regularly while the things you have studied in the Studenfs Book are still fresh in your memory.

Check your answers by looking in the key on pages 70-78. If you are not surę why an answer in the key is correct, ask your teacher to explain.

When you do the writing exercises, you can compare your answer with a sample answer in the answer key. If your teacher agrees, you can give him/her your answer to correct.

If you are preparing for the Cambridge ESOL BEC Preliminary exam or the BULATS Test, a number of exercises are designed to develop your exam skills.

The Personal Study Book also contains a Word list. These are words and phrases from the units and recording transcripts of the Studenfs Book which may be unfamiliar to you, or difficult to understand. When you find new words in the Studenfs Book, always try to guess the meaning first from the context. Keep a list of new vocabulary in your notebook. In generał, use the Word list to check the meanings later, not while you are doing the exercises in the Studenfs Book.
