Перед вами книга для изучающих английский язык уровня Intermediate и выше, в которой особый акцент сделан на словосочетания. При помощи этой книги вы научитесь говорить не "a big amount", а"a substantial amount", не "think about the options", а"consider the options", а также сотни других правильных сочетаний слов. Правильные словосочетания сделают ваш английский естественным и натуральным, и вы не будете говорить "get ill", а только"fall ill", и никогда не скажете "a big fine", когда нужно сказать"a heavy fine". Эта книга также поможет вам избегать типичных ошибок, которые делают практически все изучающие английский, таких как "do a choice", когда нужно говорить"make a choice", или "make your homework", когда правильно будет сказать"do your homework".A good knowledge of collocations (typical word combinations) is essential for fluent and natural-sounding English.
