I read the book! What a wonderful tool! Very helpful reccomendations! I am very impressed with exercises! I follow the guidlines of the book and I get 50 out of 60 on my TSE! I get 50 without real studying! I just read the book, complete all exercises while reading it and follow recommendations. If I would study a bit harder I would get 60, but 50 is my score and it is the score to pass....So I stay very pleased with the book. It helps a lot.

This book is an indispensable tool for ESL/EFL instructors implementing speaking courses as well as tutoring for TSE test. It is really focused on enhancing non-native speakers' English communication skills.
