First Certificate Reading is for learners who need additional practice in reading skills in preparation for Paper 1 of the First Certificate in English (FCE) examination. As the book aims to improve learners' reading skills in general, as well as specifically for the exam, it can also be used appropriately by non-exam learners at upper intermediate level who want to develop their reading ability.
The Grammar of a language is the system of that Language recorded form usage in actual speech. Rules laid down in the Grammar of a language are drawn from, made in accordance with, the accepted, correct usage. Therefore, if an accepted correct usage disagrees with the grammar rule, it is the rule that is to be ignored; and this fact leaves the problem to future grammarians. This booklet is not a complete course of English grammar, composition and usage; it is far from being one. The Book has 146 pages.
This useful little book highlights typical mistakes that learners make at First Certificate level – and shows how to avoid them. Based on the analysis of thousands of actual exam scripts in the Learner Corpus, each unit focuses on a key problem area. Clear explanations and varied FCE-style exercises help learners to use the language accurately. Regular tests offer learners a further opportunity to check and consolidate what they have learnt
English learners often have difficulties when dealing with grammar words such as Prefer, Would rather, Had better, Unless as well as many other complicated structures. As we often forget or get confused with those words, I decided to make the Essential English Grammar for Babylon in which the content of this dictionary is collected from the book titled "CLIFFS TOEFL Preparation Guide" (this is a really excellent book for English learners).
If you don't know how to use grammar words such as "Prefer", "unless", ect, just type it and you will be satisfied.
