Features: "Keywords" are the nouns we use to discuss a topic, while "collocations" refer to how words combine with each other in usage, often in fixed patterns. Nouns are the most expressive part of speech in English. The keywords in this book are the most commonly used ones, and it focuses on intermediate vocabulary, including approximately 15 types of collocations for about 200+ commonly used words at this level. This means the book will provide practice for over 3,000 useful collocations. Dictionaries list tens of thousands of words and expressions, but they don’t tell you which words to learn or how to use them. The over 3,000 collocations in this book will help you improve your English skills and pass exams smoothly. The book is divided into 22 sections based on different topics, each consisting of several short units that are only one page long. Each unit first lists the most common collocations of the keywords, followed by exercises that help you focus on idiomatic expressions and the collocations of keywords in sentences, enabling practice.
