Наряду с Destination C1-2, о котором мы писали ранее, Advanced Language Practice часто используется при организации подготовки к олимпиадам по английскому языку. В этой публикации мы предлагаем дополнительные упражнения к этому учебнику. Как вы знаете, недостаток упражнений на повторение это типичная проблема оригинальных учебников любого уровня.
