Carefully thought-out structure to practise and develop each strategy, specifically in the context of writing:

Plus! Final assessment preparation section including suggested task titles, pupil advice on ‘Tackling a Task’ and 3 additional tasks with sample responses.
Very obviously written by someone who really knows the subject well. I love the emphasis on quality, not quantity, and the section on idioms is a really nice touch J Hallam, French Teacher & Independent Reviewer
