Synopsis
English for Life is an innovative skills series based on authentic materials and relevant topics students need in order to live, work and communicate in English. Each book adopts a unique approach to work, and allows students/teachers the flexibility to use the book individually, together as a course book, or as a supplementary resource for self-study or in a classroom. There are four books at each level: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing.
To improve their speaking skills, students need to learn how to get their message across in the right way and make sure people understand what they say. With this Speaking book, students will learn what to say and how to say it, by practising the right words, phrases and pronunciation. Students will get practice on topics such as: meeting new people, buying and ordering things, speaking on the phone, apologizing, asking for and giving opinions, making a complaint, agreeing and disagreeing, etc. The book includes:
Twenty, full-colour instructional units with clear design
A CD with authentic recordings of both native and non-native speakers of English covering a wide variety of accents from around the world
Appendices containing detailed advice targeting specific speaking skills
Mini-dictionary with definitions of the most difficult words in each unit, taken from the Collins Cobuild dictionary
