включенные в один и тот же раздел, на разных этапах об­учения и соответственно разным уровням знаний учащихся. Форма подачи материала рассчитана на макси­мальную отработку навыков употребления грамматических структур учащимися.

Лексико-грамматический состав упражнений отвечает требованиям федеральных программ по английскому языку для школ с углубленным изучением английского языка различных лет обучения.

Практикум имеет раздел "Избранные ключи", что по­зволяет быть абсолютно уверенным в правильном выборе вариантов. Этот раздел предоставляет учащимся возмож­ность использовать практикум для самостоятельной работы в домашних условиях.

Практикум предназначен для преподавателей и уча­щихся 6—11 классов гимназий и английских школ, но мо­жет быть также рекомендован широкому кругу лиц, изуча­ющих английский язык.
