Review: This book is for helping you learn new concepts, NOT practise the concepts you already know. - The British Council recommended this book (along with a few others) as a helpful resource for the CELTA course, so I purchased it and one other textbook. And honestly, this book is so much better! It surpassed my expectations. It is compact, yet helpful and full of useful information that otherwise would have been a pain to Google search for. There’s a helpful index at the back of the book, which I am making extensive use of for my pre-course task. Not to mention, the language is clear and concise. This is exactly what I needed. With all of that said, this is more of a reference for learning new information. This is NOT the book for you if all you’re looking for is some practice exercises, there aren’t any in this book.
Review: An absolute must-have for any English learner. - If you study English, buy this book whatever your current level is (though it may seem a bit difficult for a beginner). Perhaps this is the only book you will ever need. If you have a friend who studies English, this would be a striking gift. Pros: - the book is beautifully designed in terms of publishing (overall quality, fonts, colors, etc.) and in terms of its structure (it is really well-thought-out); - the first part of the book comprehensively deals with grammar rules and usage; - the second part is devoted to vocabulary usage (for example, here you can find the explanations like: the difference in usage between "to begin" and "to start", "to end" and "to finish", "cloth" and "clothes", "classic" and "classical", "also", "as well" and "too", etc.). Cons: - honestly, I couldn't come up with a single shortcoming.
