Summary
Provides extra guidance and practice for both Core and Extended students in Papers 1 and 2 (Reading and Writing). The Cambridge IGCSE English as a Second Language Exam Preparation Guide: Reading and Writing provides extra guidance and practice in each of the seven examination exercises for both Core and Extended students in Papers 1 and 2 (Reading and Writing), and can be used independently, or alongside other IGCSE English as a Second Language coursebooks. The guide is divided into five units, with each one focussing on one or more different exam exercises. The contents include: what the exam exercises look like; what you need to remember; guidance on answering the questions; student answers with examiner comments; exam-style practice questions.
