Practical Everyday English

Practical Everyday English is the first volume in the Practical Everyday English series. It is a self-study book with audio CD, designed to improve the vocabulary of upper intermediate and advanced students of English as a foreign language. This book has a special focus on phrasal verbs, advanced vocabulary and idioms. Unlike a dictionary, this book actually teaches students how and when to use the words by giving true-to-life examples, entertaining dialogue and useful exercises. Practical Everyday English is not just a book, but a method which helps upper-intermediate and advanced students to understand and then use everyday vocabulary. Most of the material in the book is good conversational English rather than academic. However, I should like to point out that good conversational English does not mean street slang. There is included within the book a small amount of slang which now passes as acceptable English, but even members of the British Royal Family Разделы выстроены последовательно: от ключевых понятий к примерам, упражнениям и рекомендациям для самостоятельной практики. Изложение остаётся понятным и деловым, без перегрузки терминологией, с акцентом на применение знаний в реальных задачах.
