Expand Your Vocabulary: The Dynamic In-Context Way by Ray Nadeau (English) Paper

Description: Expand Your Vocabulary by Ray Nadeau Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description This guide to expanding your vocabulary features word-choices in short excerpts (under 250 words each) from 40 different writers and speakers, including Albert Shanker, Vernon Jordan and Dr Benjamin Spock. A sounds-of-speech pronunciation system is also provided. Publisher Description A unique departure from current vocabulary-building texts, this book features word-choices in short excerpts (under 250 words each) from forty different writers and speakers, among them notables like Vicki Kemper, Vernon Jordan, Karen Armstrong, Dr. Benjamin Spock, Albert Shanker, Andrew Hacker, and Juliet Schor. Their topics range widely from World Population and Your Life to Leadership for the Future. The book is a practical and interesting way to study words in meaningful context rather than as isolated entities. Another innovation is that each of the forty Days is accompanied by a commentary, Language Uses and Abuses, on how words are formed and how to check and improve language usages. Topics include Like as a Preposition and Like as a Verb; Get Lost, Hopefully; How Not to Make a Good Impression; Two Handy Latin Phrases; Whats in a Name?; and Word-Surfing with the Greek. Then, based on the word-choices studied from a particular context-passage, each Day closes with comprehension checks which include matching meanings, choosing synonyms, and choosing antonyms. And a final noteworthy feature: a sounds-of-speech pronunciation system so easy to understand that it makes the usual pronunciation key unnecessary.
