This book takes you back to the basics; the simple rules and tricks that will help anyone to master the language.

The book offers advice on many different areas including the writing of letters, reports and other texts, where it is often vital to convey meaning and purpose simply and clearly.

Practical Everyday English is a self-study book with audio CD that focuses on advanced vocabulary, phrasal verbs and idioms. It teaches students words and expressions which are often not learnt at schools or in other books. It is the first book in the Practical Everyday English series.

"This upper-intermediate level handbook of 25 essential English constructions will provide you with a much deeper understanding of things you may already know, but are not quite sure how to use. It is not a reference book, but a five-week self-study course. This book is very helpful for the writing sections of CFC, IELTS and TOEFL exams. Special features: Practical, easy-to-follow examples ; detailed, but clear explanations ; focus on negative examples ; typical mistakes ; exercises to test you on what you have learnt. This book is suitable for students of both British and American English."--Publisher's description

"Advanced Everyday English is designed in very much the same mode as the first book (Practical Everyday English with audio CD) in that all of the examples will contain vocabulary and expressions you have studied on earlier pages. You will also find many words from the first book, which will give you an opportunity to revise the material. In this second book there is more of what one might call "serious" vocabulary, but there are plenty of phrasal verbs and idioms as well. The book will be of particular benefit to those readers with an advanced level of English who wish to become (or who already are) interpreters, translators or teachers of English, or who simply want to be able to speak and understand English at a very high level. In addition, people who need to read English language journals or converse in English on a daily basis, either in business or for pleasure, will find it very useful."--Publisher's description.
