Summary
This book is ideal for students preparing for the International English Language Testing system (IELTS). Students first listen to the grammar in context and are then encouraged to analyse the language themselves before looking at the rules and practising what they have learnt. As well as offering comprehensive reference and tightly focused grammar practice exercises, it includes the full range of IELTS exam tasks - including both Academic and General Training modules for Reading and Writing.
