Expand Your Vocabulary

This book gives you different words that you can use when you are writing or speaking about three important topics - those of communication, emotions and movement. Each section takes a 'core' word that you probably know well and gives you the most useful synonyms for it, as well as related words with a different part of speech. There are also notes that highlight some differences of register, grammar, and collocation. Some of the words are shown together with their opposites, e.g. satisfied and dissatisfied.
