• Stage One: Introduction
• Stage Two: Repetition
• Stage Three: Reinforcement

Each activity must be completed for the student to move on to the next unit. Nearly all responses are graded automatically and for students enrolled in courses with a teacher – they will be able to discuss any questions you have about the answers. At the end of the course, students will receive a certificate to mark their achievement for completing this online Cambridge English course.
