Speaking: B1+ (Collins English for Life: Skills)

Best book

I love it

Perfect for learning

I found this book, friendly. First of all, it has written and published clearly. It isn't boring. To tell truth I liked it. I think it will be useful for developing speaking and listening skills.

The exercises in this course book are a useful resource for many students but unfortunately the audio CD which accompanies the book has to be the worst example of spoken English I have ever encountered and is made even worse by the inferior field recordings. If you are are looking for good samples of spoken English I would always recommend hearing it before buying.

I received my item. It was ok!!

Content of book is explained so nicely and don't need to put extra effort to understand content. Audio content is also very helpful. Thanks to collins for such a nice book.

I expected to improve my speaking and listening skills, but in my opinion, it's not possible with this book. Conversations on the CD is going with such fast tempo that not possible nor understand neither repeat dialogues! It's absolutely awful! I understand that it's maybe real native speaker's tempo, but I am learning yet and can't catch these sentences' sense at all. As a result, the training is wasted!
