Cambridge C2 Proficiency-Style Practice for Teachers

Practice in the style of Cambridge C2 Proficiency, organised the way the exam is: every part of the Reading and Use of English paper (multiple-choice cloze, open cloze, word formation, key word transformations, a long text, gapped text and multiple matching) and of the Listening paper (short extracts, sentence completion, an interview and two-task matching) practised on its own, in several sets.

Then put it together: full timed mock papers for Reading and Use of English, Writing and Listening with a marks sheet and answer key, an exam guide, an 8-week study plan, advanced vocabulary and idioms, and a sheet of the mistakes Chinese-speaking learners make most. The Writing mocks include essays that summarise and evaluate two texts, with model answers.

Every piece has an answer key with the reason for each answer, so you can use the page to teach the pattern, not just to mark it.
