Activities include recognizing an author’s point of view and synthesizing information from multiple readings. The collocations exercises – based on the 179-million-word New Longman Corpus – reflect how academic words are actually used in real contexts. Expanding the Topic sections provide additional reading, discussion, and writing activities that broaden students’ understanding of vocabulary.

Excellent resource for any high school or beginning college student. If your student is a reader they will know most of these words and how to correctly use them in a sentence. I purchased this workbook for my son to fully acquire the academic word list for college writing, he asked for a resource that would improve his vocabulary for college papers. The academic word list is a good start and this workbook includes short readings using the words in context, not just drills.
this book contain the most 500 important vocabulary in English language , some of the vocabulary they use it with different unusual meaning .
I purchased it for a foreign student studying English at a VIrginia university, it was a required book. I did look it over, and it appears to be good. I plan to purchase the Vocab 1 book for someone less advanced in English.
The book is in good quality and prompt shipment.
excellent thanks
