Defining more than 10,000 words and phrases from everyday slang to technical terms and concepts, this dictionary of the audiovisual language embraces more than 50 subject areas within film, television, and home entertainment.
The dictionary definitions are augmented by more than 600 illustrations, 1,600 etymologies, and nearly 2,000 encyclopedic entries that provide illuminating anecdotes, historical perspective, and clarifying details that might be missed by a more traditional dictionary. Usage notes provide further guidance where terms might be confused or are commonly misused.
Practice in Structure and Usage contains abundant exercises designed to revise the material introduced in the years leading up to the Lower Certificate, or similar examinations. The exercises act as reinforcement and consolidation, and will be especially suited to independent study outside the classroom. The book meets the growing demand for drill and exercise work, to support students’ grammars, such as Millington Ward’s New Intermediate English Grammar (1972), and will be most useful to students preparing for the new Structure and Usage Paper.
This book provides grammar and usage practice for students preparing for Paper 3 of the FCE exam. It can also, however, be used as a general grammar and usage workbook for students at this level. It aims to combine both general communicative grammar work with exam training; to serve students as a valuable grammar reference resource and, through its task-based approach, to improve students' grammar learning strategies.
