A 40 page workbook using A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens to practise WJEC English Language skills. This booklet contains Language Unit 2 proofreading exercises on the context of ACC, sequencing questions using events from the text, 'What impressions ...' questions using an extract from ACC, 'How does the writer ...' questions which help both Language and Literature examinations, 'Compare and contrast' questions, 'access, search and retrieve' questions and a list of possible character and theme questions.
