Publisher's Synopsis
Care to have a good command of spoken English?
If you're willing to, look no further. You're in good hands now! As a matter of fact, listening comes on top of the list when it comes to mastering a second language (this is how we learned our first language in the first place). Thus, exposing ourselves to extended periods of audible language input can never be underestimated. Besides, if we're keen to take our spoken English to the next level, we are expected to focus on the language as a whole. In other words, it pays to study the grammar, the vocabulary, the phrasal verbs, the idioms as well as the slang form of the language. Accordingly, the more engaging and effective the material is, the faster we're going to learn and develop, and here this book comes into play. Everyday English Vocabulary is a carefully selected collection of handy and commonly used phrases in English that need to be carefully considered if the learner is serious about being confident and fluent in English. In fact, some must-learn phrases can never be acquired unless they are learned in practice, i.e. in conversations. For example, we say "don't add insult to injury" to tell someone not make a bad situation worse. Such idiomatic phrases need to be presented and practiced through different conversations and situations to be fully understood. Hence, Everyday English Vocabulary is mainly designed to serve this purpose.
