Linguaskill Reading & Writing Trainer B1–C1

About this book

Know the test. Write with confidence.

Linguaskill tests the English you use for study, work and everyday life: notices, messages, articles, emails and essays. This book shows you how every Reading task and both Writing tasks work, gives you a clear step-by-step strategy for each one, and then lets you practise at three levels, B1, B2 and C1, until test day.

This is an independent, unofficial preparation book. It is not affiliated with, approved or endorsed by Cambridge University Press & Assessment. Linguaskill is a trademark of its owner. The practice tests were written for this book and are not official test material.
