 INTRODUCCIÓN

Términos como «rephrasing» o «rewriting» son bien conocidos entre los

estudiantes de Inglés: se trata de expresar el mismo mensaje pero utilizando
una estructura gramatical distinta a la propuesta en el enunciado.
Este libro es continuación de 1.000 ejercicios de «rephrasing». La dife-
rencia entre los dos estriba en la dificultad de los ejercicios propuestos: mien-
tras que el primero va del nivel «pre-intermediate» al «upper-intermediate»,
este segundo abarca desde el «intermediate» hasta el «advanced».
Así pues, puede resultar útil en la preparación de exámenes como Selec-
tividad, Ciclo Superior de Escuelas Oficiales de Idiomas , First
Certificate, CAE, Proficiency, etc.

ORGANIZACIÓN DEL LIBRO

Cada uno de los 50 tests de este libro consta de dos partes, A y B, que son
complementarias o «reversibles», aunque con algunas limitaciones. Esto quie-
re decir lo siguiente:
• C~alquier ejercicio de la parte A tiene su respuesta en la parte B del
mismo ~eSt. En el supuesto de que haya más de una respuesta posible, las dis-
tintas opciones aparecen en negrita y separadas por barras o bien señaladas
con asteriscos. Hay que advertir que las respuestas ofrecidas aquí son las con-
sideradas como más comunes, lo cual no quiere decir que no existan otras.
• Cualquier ejercicio de la parte B tiene su resp11esta en la parte A del
mismo test. En este caso la respuesta siempre es única, por razones obvias de
complejidad. Esto puede llevar consigo que resulte dificil «acertarla»; Es muy
probable, pues, que el alumno produzca frases correctas que no pueda compro-
bar al no encontrarlas como soluciones.
