How to Use This Book
If you've studied English, you know that after you've reached a certain level, you need to work on refining and improving your vocabulary. As you become more familiar with the English language, you want to be able to use and understand the same sophisticated, professional business vocabulary as your American classmates or colleagues.
Success with Business Words is an invaluable tool for student or professional, nonnative speakers of English seeking to attend business school or to enter business-related professions in the United States. It uses a variety of methods to help you to incor-porate 450 business words and phrases into your vocabulary. Certain phrases vary in meaning according to the context in which they are used, and may appear in more than one chapter.
Each of the 30 chapters in this book focuses on words or phrases that are related to a particular theme, such as Accounting or Investment. Each chapter offers three different types of exercises that encourage you to contextualize and actively use these words or phrases. The first exercise consists of two columns in which 15 words or phrases listed in the left-hand column are to be matched with the correct definitions in the right-hand column. You should try to see how many phrases and meanings you can match up without using your dictionary. If this proves difficult, move on to the passages on the second page of the chapter and try reading them aloud to yourself or with a partner. The two conversations and the short talk you will find here use the terms from the matching list in relevant, realistic contexts. Seeing these phrases in their proper context should enable you to go back to the first exercise and match any terms that you were not able to figure out earlier with their meanings.
On the third page of each chapter, there is a fill-in-the-blank exercise that tests your understanding of the 15 words and expressions covered in the chapter.
