Cambridge CPE /C2 Proficiency/ – study system and study content

The leader in EFL books Grivas Publications https://www.grivas.gr/ provides full preparation for the CPE
/C2 Proficiency/ examination in two great textbooks: Targeting Proficiency and 10 Practice Tests.
The first book TARGETING PROFICIENCY is a comprehensive coursebook that focuses on the acquisition

competency, making it the ideal coursebook for students wishing to advance to C2 level in English in
order to pass successfully the CPE examination.
Key features of the coursebook:
 thorough practice in all 4 skills – reading, speaking, listening and writing through a variety of
topics explored in detail from interesting and thought-provoking angles
 challenging, age-appropriate reading texts which students can relate to and will want to discuss
 presentation of various structures and expressions which will enhance students’ speaking skills,
giving them the means to express their thoughts accurately and fluently

understand speakers’ attitudes and opinions and increasing their understanding of spoken English
 ample writing practice, reflecting the requirements at this level and providing guidance on
