I thought the resource was very thorough and addressed many of the concerns which students have about translating. Students were guided through the vocabulary for each task and the grammar, which could be used either for revision or preparation for the tasks. I rather wish I had thought of it myself!K Wright, Teacher and Ind. Reviewer
