Essential GCSE English for Mature Students by Diana Wallsgrove
This book is written for mature students who wish to gain or to improve upon a GCSE qualification in English. It is also suitable for 16 to 19-year-old students taking a one-year resit course in English. Throughout the book material is presented to allow students to develop the reading and writing skills required for the examination. From fiction, non-fiction, British and other cultures and from media, students are given the opportunities to extract information, analyse language use, make comparisons and judge. Many written responses are given and suggested time limits allow practice in exam conditions. There is also a final chapter which focuses on students' frequent problems with writing accurately.
