English Collocations in Use: Advanced: Book with answers (Vocabulary in Use)

Product Information

Get better at studying by yourself, with study tips, follow-up activities and an easy to use answer key. Più di 1000 ''collocations'' spiegate in dettaglio attraverso topics delle più svariate aree tematiche; a differenza dell'omonimo libro di livello ''intermediate'' questo tratta temi utili ad uno studente che si sta preparando almeno per superare l'Advanced, se non il Proficiency. For example, in Unit 17 “Student Life” a student would learn that to secure a place is a formal collocation and to get a place an informal one or discover that a seat of learning is a very formal collocation for an educational institution with a very good reputation. Quindi le collocazioni appartengono ad un linguaggio un po' meno informale essendo estrapolate da un contesto specialistico e più formale. Practice exercises on the right-hand page check whether learners have understood the information on the left-hand page.

I also bought "English Idioms in Use" (advanced), which I feel will be more useful, and which the students seem to find more accessible. Skilled users of English may choose to create stylistic effects by varying the normal patterns of collocation with the aim of, for example, startling or amusing their audience.You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. You need this book if you are serious about taking your "nearly-fluent" English to the mastery level.

I like the way that the chapters are arranged, particularly the collocations that are in topic areas. At first the authors decided to choose collocations from everyday written and spoken English; for example in the unit “Health and Medicine” we find Shake off a cold and respond well to treatment but not grumbling appendix, which is a strong collocation, that is, one in which the words are very closely associated with each other. This book contains explanations and practice of English collocations for advanced-level (C1 to C2) learners of English.This application is developed to help you learn common English collocations and how to use them in sentences. For highly motivated students it would be very useful, but I would say that for the majority it's a book to dip in to now and again. English Collocations in Use Advanced presents and practises hundreds of collocations in typical contexts to help you improve your written and spoken English. Libro consigliatissimo , ma da abbinare sicuramente ad altri testi che trattino non solo le collocazioni, ma la grammatica, gli idiomi, il vocabolario etc, etc.
