INTRODUCTION
This book is designed as a preparation for Intermediate English examinations. It
aims to provide hints in what is known as ‘exam technique’ in order that students
understand exactly what is wanted in examination questions and can thus achieve
the best possible result.
Frequent checklists are included to help the student focus on the aspects of
language which the different types of question require.
Simple step by step explanations are followed by practice exercises which aim to
teach the skills required to answer the more formal type of questions in both Close
Reading and Textual Analysis. Sample tests of both types of exercise are provided
to help students prepare for the examinations more directly.
