Total Series
Black Cat’s Total series is made
up of four distinct courses to
prepare students for Cambridge
ESOL’s Key, Preliminary, First and
Advanced exams. They are written by
experienced Cambridge writers, who
have used their extensive knowledge
of the exams to write stimulating and
up-to-date courses.
Each course takes into careful
consideration the age, language level
and interests of the students, whilst
covering the grammar, vocabulary
and skills required for the relevant
exam. They offer practice in both the
paper and computer-based versions
of the exams.
Each course has a different focus
giving students guided practice in
the parts of each exam which they
typically find more challenging.
Series features:
• Well-organised units each
including the following sections:
Warmer, Vocabulary, Grammar,
Reading, Listening, Speaking and
Writing.
• Teacher-friendly exercises
allowing effective classroom
management.
• Extensive practice of exam-style
tasks.
• Audio CD-ROM with 2 complete
computer-based Practice Tests.

Total FIRST – New Edition
For the revised 2015 Exam
Annie Broadhead, Ginni Light, Robert Hampton
Total FIRST – New Edition is a preparation course
for the Cambridge English: FIRST exam (B2 Vantage
of the Common European Framework of Reference).
It has been revised throughout to reflect the new
Cambridge English exam specifications for 2015.
The course is suitable both for in-class use and
individual study, and the careful choice and variety of
materials make it suitable for the FIRST and FIRST for
Schools exams.
Total FIRST – New Edition focuses on the two aspects
of the exam identified as being the most challenging
for students – Reading and Use of English and
Writing. Students learn through exam-style tasks as
well as general communicative activities.
Each of the sixteen units offers carefully graded
exam tasks and strategies for each part of the
exam to guide students through every aspect. There
is a Grammar page after every unit with at least one
targeted exercise.
The double pages after each unit help students
practise the more complex tasks covered in the exam
(multiple-choice cloze, open cloze, word formation,
key word transformation).
The Banks at the end of the volume take a closer look
at each part of the exam (Reading and Use of English,
Writing, Listening, Speaking), with helpful tips and
advice on how to achieve the best possible result.
Use your English to your advantage
READING AND USE OF ENGLISH
