Exercise 5 Vocabulary exercises (multiple choice in the early stages.) Exercise 6 Guided composition exercises, which involve re- presentation of part of the text, usually from a personal angle. Exercise 7 Practice in some point of usage in the text. Section Two : This consists of Recall Exercises. These are extracts from the texts in Section One, with certain grammatical features omitted or incomplete.

References for each extract are provided; they can therefore be corrected by the students themselves and are thus suitable for self-access work.
