Medications for the Treatment of DiabetesThis Teacher's Book accompanies a collection of four complete practice tests for the updated PET (Preliminary English Test) from University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations. These tests provide candidates with an excellent opportunity to familiarise themselves with the updated PET (to be introduced in March 2004) and to practise examination techniques. Visual material for Paper 3 is included with each test, enabling students to prepare thoroughly for the paired Speaking test. The Student's Book is available with or without answers. The 'with answers' edition is ideal for self-study. The Teacher's Book contains transcripts of the recorded material and answer keys. It also provides useful information about the updated PET examination, a clear guide to each paper and an insight into marking procedures and grading, illustrated by sample answers. |
