Reading English Objectively I. [antikvár]

To The Teacher This book consists of 30 passages, each followed by a set of objective questions. The passages and questions are graded, making the book suitable for students at the Intermediate to Lower Cambridge stage, at Stages 2 and 3 of R.S.A., and Grades 1 and 2 of the Institute of Linguists. The book's 30 passages are of four kinds: narrative, description, explanation, discussion, and use the varieties of English a student must expect to come to terms with in his reading of fiction and of non-fiction at this level. Each set of questions has four parts dealing, in order, with A. Comprehension; B. Lexis and Structure; C. Rewriting; D. Summary and a short composition. Multiple-choice questioning is used in A and B. In D the Short Composition question has been included in case student or teacher should, in the face of so much objective work, lose sight of free response. Details of parts A, B, C, D follow*. A. Students are given four suggested answers to each question and asked to choose the best answer. The word ' best ' can mean: 1.An answer that is correct because other answers are wrong. 2.An answer that is more complete than other answers. Answers that are either wrong or less complete are known as distractors. They give either wrong or less complete information. In these exercises, they have been designed not only to test whether a student understands what he has read
