Book Description

The Oxford 3000 word search The Oxford 3000 word search is a list of the 3000 most important words to learn in English. The keywords of the Oxford 3000 word search have been carefully selected by a group of language experts and experienced teachers as the words which should receive priority in vocabulary study because of their importance and usefulness. The words of the Oxford 3000 are shown in the dictionary with a key symbol, and sometimes the most useful parts of the entries (particular meanings, phrasal verbs and idioms) are also marked with a smaller key symbol. The entries for keywords often have extra information in the form of more examples of use, special notes explaining synonyms or related words, or helpful illustrations. The keywords make an excellent starting point for expanding your vocabulary. With most keywords, there is far more to learn about them than the first meaning in the entry. Often these words have many meanings, have a large family of words derived from them, or are used in a variety of patterns. You will also find a wide variety of usage notes at the keyword entries. the word search Book includes some very important words which happen not to be used frequently, even though they are very familiar to most users of English. These include, for example, words for parts of the body, words used in travel, and words which are useful for explaining what you mean when you do not know the exact word for something. These words were identified by consulting a panel of over seventy experts in the fields of teaching and language study.
