Understanding Ideas Student's book by Michael Swan

This advanced level reading skills and comprehension course teaches in a systematic and progressive way the reading techniques all students of English need to master. It covers subjects such as how to read a text, guessing unknown words, special forms of English (telegrams and newspaper headlines) and also provides practice in summary writing. Texts cover a wide range of topics, chosen for their intrinsic interest and as useful material for comprehension practice and the development of reading skills. Special texts are included for use as progress tests or for examination practice.
