in a single book of three distinct though complementary sections
- grammar, current usage, word power - is an exciting opportunity
for students to consolidate their grasp of the essentials
and to develop a more accomplished and sophisticated style.

Part 1 provides
a concise reference grammar, with a particular focus on areas
of difficulty for the English-speaking learner.
-
Part 2 demonstrates
key functions of the language in a range of specific contexts,
such as giving advice and making apologies, and develops the
user’s sensitivity to register and nuance. Full notes
are supplied on particular communicative skills, such as telephoning
and writing essays and letters, both personal and business.
-
Part 3 concentrates
on building a strong, active vocabulary with a convenient
word-bank of synonyms, slang, faux aims, proverbs and idioms.
-
Each section
contains generous examples of usage drawn from everyday situations,
together with English translations.
-
Illustrations
from native sources demonstrate the practical application
of the language.
