Introduction These worksheets form the second part of a structural self-access system. They are intended for intermediate students of English and deal with a wide range of the grammatical points covered in intermediate course books, from Preliminary English Test level, through to the First Certificate and leading towards the Certificate of Advanced English. They offer a brief explanation and/or illustration of each point before providing an exercise, with answers given inverted at the bottom of each page for immediate checking. They present broad rules and guidelines, leaving most exceptions and complex explanations to the teacher, grammar or course book. They are not intended as an alternative to any of these, but as a supplement, providing more extensive illustration and practice of individual points. They are designed to be photocopied and placed. in self-access or resources centres, and to be written on by students and corrected by themselves. For this reason, they are in A4 fonnal There are simple line drawings that illustrate the grammatical points and ample space for students to write in their answers. Teachers may also find the sheets useful for follow-up practice of grammar points presented or reviewed in the lesson, either individually or as pairwork, with each couple checking answers as they proceed, or as a homework exercise. In this case the teacher may wish to mask the answer section while photocopying the sheet, and go over the answers in class. There is a simple glossary sheet (overleaf) giving illustrations of the terms used in the explanations, which the students should use in association with the worksheets. Worksheet 1 gives practice in recognising these terms, and on sheets 67 and 68 there is a list of the most common phrasal verbs, with example sentences for each, together with the type (see Worksheets 53 to 56). The accompanying cassette provides simple drills, revising the points covered in the exercises, in order to give students the opportunity to listen and pronounce new words or structures in association with the writing exercises. The tapescripts for the cassette are provided at the back of the book. Not all of the Worksheets have accompanying cassette exercises, but those that have are marked with a cassette symbol. Teachers or resources managers are recommended to copy the tapescript onto the reverse of the relevant Worksheet In order to provide as much material on the cassette as possible, pauses are kept to a minimum, and students should be trained how to pause the master cassette in order to allow sufficient time to respond. Otherwise pauses can be added to the cassette according to local requirements. Worksheet 2 gives guidance to students on how to use the cassette. Note that apart from the introductory Worksheets 1 and 2, the Worksheets are arranged in alphabetical order for ease of reference and for filing in the resource centre.
