4 Introduction for students What is the aim of the First Certificate Direct Workbook? This Workbook aims to give you extra opportunities to practise your English, and revise and consolidate the things you have learnt in the Student s Book of First Certificate Direct. It will help you develop your general English, the English you need for the FCE exam and your exam techniques. The Workbook also aims to provide you with materials that you can easily work with outside class by yourself or with friends. This allows you to work at your own pace, and to choose to concentrate on those things you feel you most need. What does the First Certificate Direct Workbook contain? The Workbook contains 14 units, which cover the same topics as the units in the Student s Book, looked at from different points of view so you meet new language and new themes. Each unit has these six sections: Reading Writing Grammar Vocabulary Preparation for speaking Exam focus The sections develop the language, the language skills and the exam skills practised in the same unit of the Student s Book. Dealing with the FCE exam (see page 92) includes an overview of the exam, information on the content and marking of each paper, and useful tips for how to approach each part of the exam. 6

It will help you develop your general English, the English you need for the FCE exam and your exam techniques.

5 What is the best way to use the First Certificate Direct Workbook? The activities in the Workbook are designed so that you can do them outside class by yourself or with friends. Your teacher may ask you to do some of the Workbook activities in or outside class. You could also choose activities yourself to work on outside class, selecting those activities you feel you need to work on most. Use the Map of the book in the Student s Book and the Section list opposite to help you make your choices. As the topics and activities in the Workbook follow those in the same unit of the Student s Book, it is a good idea to do the Workbook activities after you have done the corresponding work in the Student s Book. exam You will see that many of the Workbook activities are exam tasks. This is task to give you extra practice for the exam and to build up your confidence in handling exam tasks. They have the same symbol as the Student s Book. The Preparation for speaking sections give you activities to carry out that will help you to improve your speaking. They ask you to plan and think about what you would say, for example, or choose suitable language, or practise your pronunciation. These are a very useful way of improving your speaking by yourself. When you use the Workbook, make sure you use a good dictionary too. We suggest: Cambridge International Dictionary of English, Cambridge International Dictionary of English CD-ROM,or Cambridge Dictionaries Online: www. You could also refer to a good grammar reference book. We suggest: English Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy, published by Cambridge University Press. Keep notes in a file. Organise your file into different sections, e.g. Grammar, Vocabulary. In the grammar section you could note down any new or interesting grammatical structures you come across. In the vocabulary section, you could write down a list of new words and expressions and their meanings. You could then test yourself or your friends from time to time, to see if you remember the words and their meanings. You can also play games with the words, e.g. word bingo or associations. Some students prefer working by themselves while others like to work with a friend. Decide which is best for you when using this Workbook. We hope you enjoy working with the First Certificate Direct Workbook and find it useful for your studies. Good luck with your English, with your studies and with the exam! 7

You could also choose activities yourself to work on outside class, selecting those activities you feel you need to work on most.
