Book Description

About the book Aimed at late intermediate/early upper intermediate English language students with the main focus on vocabulary building. Word formation is one of the key elements in all English language exams. It is an important component in vocabulary building. By improving your vocabulary you become equipped with the ability to enhance your speaking and writing abilities. Being able to distinguish the parts of speech is essential in the word formation exercises. This will also enable you to begin to recognise sentence patterns - an indispensable requirement when it comes to advancing in your studies. Basic sentence structure is also dealt with in the book. Learn how to form longer sentences correctly. Too many learners are writing in distorted English due to a direct translation from their own language. Begin to become familiar with sentence patterns in order to improve writing and speaking skills. The book also includes plenty of grammar exercises for those of you who like to freshen up on grammar. Continuous revision of the main grammar points is always an excellent idea at any level of English, especially for those of you who do not live in an English speaking country. It is all too easy to forget if you do not practise. Practice makes perfect. About the author Jacqueline Melvin is a certified ESL teacher of English as a foreign language.
