Longman WordWise Dictionary - CD-vel [antikvár]

IntroductionVIINTRODUCTIONThe new Longman WordWise Dictionary provides new practical solutions for students at pre-intermediate to intermediate level. It contains 35,000 words, phrases, and examples that will help students learn the language more quickly and effectively.>Learn 2000 key words and you will be able to understand 80% of the language Research has shown that if students learn 2000 basic words of English, they will be able to understand 80% ofthe English language. Based on their frequency in the 300 million-word Longman Corpus Network, including the Learners' Corpus, we have carefully selected 2000 words that form the core vocabulary of English. These 2000 WordWise words include difficult words such as place and time, and difficult verbs such as see, get. and feel that students need to fully master to progress in English.>Easy access to the different meanings helps you get to the meaning you are looking for more quickly. The basic meanings are explained in a different, more pedagogical way using the Longman 2000-word Defining Vocabulary, so that all the definitions are easy to understand. Typical structures and collocations are highlighted to make these words easier to use.>Learn by example: authentic written and spoken EnglishThousands of authentic example sentences clearly show how words are really used in speech and writing. All the examples in this dictionary were selected for intermediate learners by teachers of English, based on their classroom experience.>An easy way to remember grammar structuresMost of the 2000 key words show grammar structures, which can be difficult for students to remember because the patterns are different from their own language. We are showing these structures in grammar boxes at the beginning of the entries so students can access them quickly and avoid making grammar mistakes. For example:GRAMMARbegin to do something begin doing something begin with something begin by doing something>Get natural with idiomatic expressions Common English phrases are highlighted to show which words are used together,so students can reuse them easily and sound more natural, for example: leave a message, take place, break the news, have a bath, have breakfast, do your homework, do the cooking, make an effort etc.>No more mistakes with phrasal verbs Phrasal verbs are notoriously difficult for students of English because the meaning of a phrasal verb cannot be understood by putting together the meaning of its parts. When a verb is combined with a preposition or an adverb (e.g. get up, take off, give back etc) it can have a different meaning from the main meaning of the verbs get, take, give etc. For example, take off has nothing to do with 'taking something' but has three meanings that are different from the main meanings of take:take off1to move clothes off your body: >=> opposite put on: Jane took off her coat and hung it up. \ I bent down and took my shoes off.2if a plane takes off, it leaves the ground and goes into the air: o opposite land Tne plane took off at 8:45.3to not go to work for a period of time: Emma took three days off school last week when she was ill.The grammar structures are clearly shown in the examples so that students can see immediately that they can say, for example, take your clothes off, and also take off your clothes, but that a plane takes off, and that you cannot say 'take a plane offiWe wish you rapid progress and every success with the new Longman WordWise Dictionary\Laurence DelacroixPUBLISHER
