About FionaHi, I'm Fiona Joseph from Flo-Joe and if you're preparing for the Cambridge FCE, CAE or CPE then I hope you'll enjoy this site, which is dedicated to the 'set text' option. What are 'set texts'? These are works of literature - usually novels - that are studied in advance of the exam and can be written on in Paper 2 (Writing). Traditionally the 'set text' option appeared in the First Certificate in English (FCE) and the Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE). From December 2008 this option appears in the updated Certificate of Advanced English (CAE) too. My focus in this series of podcasts is to help you become really confident in tackling the 'set text' question on the day of your exam. In each podcast I'll be looking at the plot, characters and setting of one of the texts, as well as exploring - where relevant - the key theme(s). Then you'll get some hints on what the examiners are actually looking for as I work through an exam-style question. What about if you're NOT taking one of the exams but just love reading? Please join in - all are welcome! Fans of this Show
