Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

Listening activities introduce the grammar points, so listening skills develop while you study. A wide range of tasks from the Academic and General Training Reading and Writing papers, plus the Listening paper, provide plenty of test practice. Work through the units or focus on areas that need more practice. The answer key includes tape scripts and model writing answers. The book comes with a CD containing all the listening material.
