Dear pupils!

This academic year is going to be the last one for you at school! I am sure it will be difficult and demanding, requiring much effort investment on your part. A lot of you will have to take your final test or exam in English.

Sitting for exams is usually stressful for those people who are not properly prepared. I do hope that the book you are holding in your hands will help you consolidate your knowledge and skills in English, get perfectly ready for the assessment of your academic achievement and enjoy the process of passing your final exams.

The textbook has been created not only to help you with tests, but also to keep you interested in a plethora of burning issues for discussion, to upgrade your knowledge of state-of-the-art technology and advancements in education, to expand your horizons in traveling opportunities, to sharpen your eye in appreciation of artistic creations, to draw your attention to healthy eating habits, to remind you of the excitement of some leisure activities as well as the necessity of being engaged in a tailor-made occupational activity.

You are kindly encouraged to look through the book and mark the pages containing some information which has triggered the desire to learn more about the issue or to share what you already know with your classmates. I wish you to fully realise your expectations about the study process throughout this academic year and get pleasure from learning English!!!
