I'm not entirely sure - Certificate of Advanced English
You're getting your certificate or something? :?
no, not at all - it is like summing-up book - everything is included, exercises are enough complicated, detailed grammar references, new vocabulary. My teacher doesn't like Advanced Headway as this one.

Hope so, actually there are a lot of young people here who speak English well. I guess I'll take some courses specializing in translation in order to get a well-paid job here, anyhow it's a good step

Language to go for communication.
Each kind has different levels from elementary to upper-advanced.
I prefer Longman's books.
