The organisation of the book
The book ist organised into a series of chapters and a set of appendices. There is a chapter on each of the tasks that can be set for the examination: Letters, leaflets, reports, articles, lists, memos and notices. There are also chapters on the examination, the language skills that you need to have, and the elements common to many of the tasks.
