It aims to tackle the basic questions about spelling, punctuation, grammar and word usage that the student and the general reader are likely to ask.Throughout the book there are clear explanations, and exemplar sentences where they are needed. When it’s helpful to draw attention to spelling rules and patterns, these are given so that the reader is further empowered to deal with hundreds of related words. The aim always has been to make the reader more confident and increasingly self-reliant.This is a fast-track reference book. It is not a dictionary although, like a dictionary, it is arranged alphabetically. It concentrates on problem areas; it anticipates difficulties; it invites cross-references. By exploring  punctuation, for example, and paragraphing, it goes far beyond a dictionary’s terms of reference. It is not intended to replace a dictionary; it rather supplements it.Click here to download the book (203 pages - 4.1MB) hoangkimngan@gmail.com (EEV Admin) Wed, 02 May 2007 00:00:00 +0700 http://www.english.edu.vn/articles/88/1/Test-Your-Professional-English---Business-General-Penguin-Longman-2002/Page1.html    Test your Professional English: Business General is one in a series of then useful Test your Professional English books.

The most common reason for needing to increase or broaden vocabulary is lack of experience with reading. Not surprisingly, thoughtful reading is key to developing a broader vocabulary. Read as much as you possibly can read—anything that interests you, whether magazine or novel, textbook or junk mail, a newspaper or a cereal box, e-mail or Web pages—read. When you read, watch for unfamiliar words or phrases or words used in unfamiliar ways. Try to determine their meaning by the other information you are given in the sentence or paragraph. Re-read a paragraph and state it in your own words. Start by thinking, "This paragraph says that…" or "This probably means…." Re-read. If you find reading a textbook somewhat difficult, read a few pages and then go back and read them again. Many times your knowledge of the topic will increase as you read further, so that when you re-read earlier material you understand it more easily and clearly. hoangkimngan@gmail.com (EEV Admin) Tue, 01 May 2007 00:00:00 +0700
