About this deal

However, to do this effectively it’s best to have first assimilated the standard language patterns presented in this book, all of which were selected from those identified as significant by the CANCODE corpus of spoken English. The reader will usually find examples of collocations in typical contexts with, where appropriate, any special notes about their meaning and their usage. At first the authors decided to choose collocations from everyday written and spoken English; for example in the unit “Health and Medicine” we find Shake off a cold and respond well to treatment but not grumbling appendix, which is a strong collocation, that is, one in which the words are very closely associated with each other. The English Collocation in Use books, available in two levels, provide explanations and practice of English collocations for intermediate (B1-B2) and advanced (C1-C2) learners of English.

In Unit 46 “Time and Space” students learn to say ample space/room, leave space/room, short of space/room, and take up a lot of space/room. Then, setting the bar higher, the authors focused on those collocations not so readily produced by even advanced learners. Calendar arrived safely in plastic-free packaging - which I've not seen before with a calendar, so kudos for that. Using collocations will improve your style of written and spoken English, and knowledge of collocations is often tested in examinations such as Cambridge FCE, CAE, CPE and IELTS.easy-to-use two-page units: collocations are presented and explained on left-hand pages with a range of practice exercises on right-hand pages. A few examples of collocations from the book include: "Long standing tradition", "broach the subject" , "glimmer of hope" and "drum up support".

I like the way that the chapters are arranged, particularly the collocations that are in topic areas. A list of reasons for learning collocations we might present to learners could include (1) your language will be more natural and more easily understood; (2) you will have alternative and richer ways of expressing yourself; and (3) your brain will probably have an easier time processing language in chunks or blocks rather than as single words. A good knowledge of collocations (typical word combinations) is essential for fluent and natural-sounding English, and knowledge of collocations is often tested in advanced level examinations such as Cambridge CAE, CPE and IELTS. Get better at studying by yourself, with study tips, follow-up activities and an easy to use answer key.

For example, in Unit 17 “Student Life” a student would learn that to secure a place is a formal collocation and to get a place an informal one or discover that a seat of learning is a very formal collocation for an educational institution with a very good reputation. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

Quindi le collocazioni appartengono ad un linguaggio un po' meno informale essendo estrapolate da un contesto specialistico e più formale.

Increase your knowledge of collocations and how to use them, with easy to understand explanations and practice exercises.

I also bought "English Idioms in Use" (advanced), which I feel will be more useful, and which the students seem to find more accessible. This book presents and practises hundreds of collocations in typical contexts and is ideal for intermediate level students and above who want to take their English to the next level. Covers all the most useful collocations (common word combinations) at Advanced level to help make your English more fluent and natural-sounding. Lest students think there are no exceptions to the pattern about the concept space, they are alerted that it’s okay to say waste of space, but not waste of room.
