1000 Real Answers: English Phrasebook & Self-Study Guide

"1000 Real Answers" is a learning tool and reference guide for INTERMEDIATE and UPPER INTERMEDIATE students of English who are interested in building up a "database" of real native-speaker responses to the kinds of questions they will encounter not only in the classroom and in examinations but also on their travels, in the world of work and in a wide range of other situations. Teachers will find that the materials and activities provided can also be easily integrated into both grammar-focused and communicative classroom teaching modules. The first part of the book consists of: - 115 of the commonest everyday English questions; - over 1000 possible answers to these questions; - tips on how to learn; - a range of language items from simple one-word responses to longer, more complex or humorous answers; - sections (ABOUT YOU, HABITS, PAST ACTIVITIES, FUTURE ACTIVITIES, HYPOTHETICALS, OPINIONS, DESCRIBING) specifically designed for students preparing for English oral exams; - sections (HERE & NOW, OUT & ABOUT, EATING OUT) specifically designed for travellers; - section specifically designed for those preparing for a job interview in English. Part Two is designed to help students practise and consolidate their ability to use the language items presented in Part 1. It includes: - self-study exercises to practise formation of questions; - self-study vocabulary exercises; - self-study exercises for remembering idiomatic expressions; - self-study exercises in the use of verb forms and prepositions; - situational language exercises; - speaking activities for the classroom or for students working with a study-partner.
