Whether it’s writing letters, stories or instructions, Cambridge Grammar and Writing Skills provides activities for learners to practise and extend their creative writing skills. Each unit focuses on a different text type, building confidence in extended writing, while example texts show students a model to work to. They’ll learn about naming words with the Patel family as well as captions and lists at the farm. Use of English activities give learners opportunities to practise grammar for different writing tasks. The series is the ideal support for our popular Global English, Primary English and Checkpoint English resources. It suits first and second language learners, providing valuable consolidation for first language students and an opportunity for second language learners to extend their skills.
