Study tips

 

• Use the CD with or without the Workbook, for example, in the car or on a personal stereo. Play the exercises and conversations as often as you like. Stop the CD and repeat useful words and phrases.

 

• Write your answers in the Workbook or write in a separate notebook. Use Workbook material for extra revision, for example, after the Student’s Book

 

review units.

 

• Check your answers in the Answer key at the back of the Workbook. Refer to the Pocket Book for grammar explanations and useful social language.

 

• Use a good dictionary, for example, the Oxford Wordpower Dictionary and the Oxford Dictionary of Business English to help expand your vocabulary.

 

• Study every day if possible. You cun work for a few minutes to complete an exercise, then stop and do the next exercise later. The rule is, ‘A little, but often.’
