ELŐSZÓ

K edves olvasó!

Ez a könyv elsősorban azok számára készült, akik nyelvvizsgát szeretnének tenni angol nyelvből. Kiváló­an alkalmas arra, hogy a tanuló ellenőrizhesse tudását. A feladatok hasonlóak azokhoz, amilyenekkel a közép-, illetve felsőfokú nyelvvizsgán fognak találkozni. A kérdéseket igyekeztem úgy összeállítani, hogy minden nyelvtani szerkezet megtalálható legyen a könyvben. Számtalan szókapcsolat és vonzatos ige szerepel benne. Az önellenőrzés megkönnyítése érdekében a megoldá­sok megtalálhatók minden teszt végén.

Minden kedves Olvasónak jó munkát és sikeres vizsgát kíván
