This has a great lesson and flow to it. The students like it to and the lessons and new words seem to stick well. The down side, our school teaches American English and this is more British, but we can work around that. Review: Very useful. - Very useful book for improving day yo day vocabulary.

Great suppliment for ESL
I was looking for something new for our English school to focus on vocabulary. This has a great lesson and flow to it. The students like it to and the lessons and new words seem to stick well. The down side, our school teaches American English and this is more British, but we can work around that.

An all rounder.
The information the book holds is very useful. It covers a little bit of grammar and pronunciations too. The only drawback is the book looks a bit old on the outside.

CD isn't working even after replacement of the product.
I am giving one star to it, as CD isn't working at all. Book is in good condition, and last time when I recieved it I had the same issue. CD has some scratches on it and laptop is showing error in the program. While other CD's are working well which I got with other Cambridge books. For the first time I am highly disappointed with Amazon's service.
