I n t r o d u c t i o n HIGH-LEVEL EVERYDAY ENGLISHSteven Collins

High-level Everyday English is the third book in the Practical Everyday English series.

All the books are designed for students who already have good English, but this third one is especially for those who have reached a very advanced stage in their English studies…but still need a little help with diffi cult vocabulary.

The method used is the same as in the previous two books, i.e. nearly all examples contain words and expressions which you will have studied either earlier in this book or in the other books. You should aim to study one lesson a week and revise each chapter when you fi nish it.

I hope, just as in the other books, you will also enjoy listening to the audio CD of the dialogues which appear at the end of each chapter. It will help you a lot in your listening comprehension.

Don’t forget to do all the exercises after the dialogues to test yourself on what you have studied in each chapter. They will certainly keep your brain active.

Most importantly, I want you to feel confi dent and proud of your English. You have come so far already…and this book will help you go a little further.

Wishing you the very best of luck.
