Focus on IELTS - Chapter 1 Activities

While our new e-textbooks are wonderful, it can be kind of difficult to answer any of the questions, because we can only view them in the browser, and cannot write, modify, or download them. So what we've done is created activity sheets connected to the activities in your textbook.

These files are .pdfs. If you open them with Preview, you can write your answers right on to the .pdfs, after which you can save them and submit them.

Here are all the activities for chapter 1.
