Learning English requires composure, determination, and attention to detail.
The English language has many words that look similar, often resulting in confusion
and spelling mistakes. The aim of the 1000 Key English Words and Idioms guide
is to identify the words that are most frequently misspelled and to provide
a forum for practice so that you can quickly develop your vocabulary of English
words. The format enables you to print them out as flashcards so that you can
memorize the words on the bus, in the classroom, or anywhere else.
The 1000 Key English Words and Idioms guide includes a list of the most frequently
misspelled words in alphabetical order. Practicing with this guide will enable
you to make fewer mistakes due to carelessness. As well, this guide is an excellent
resource for preparing for the TOEFLŪ test. Included in it is a list
of the most frequently tested words on the TOEFLŪ test in the past ten years,
arranged according the number of times each word appears in the test. Some words
appear as many as eighteen times, and all have been used at least three times. This
is particularly valuable if you have limited time.
The guide also includes a list of idioms that may be encountered on the TOEFLŪ. Each idiom is clearly defined and
used in a sample sentence. Also included in the guide is a list of paired words
that have similar meanings and are often replaced by one another in the TOEFLŪ
exam. Memorizing the two words together may help you to understand the more
difficult questions on the exam.
Finally, there is a list of common English expressions used in daily conversation. Each expression is used in a short conversation so you can become familiar with how it is used.
With this essential ESL vocabulary builder, your English skills will improve
faster than you imagined!
