| About the Book | ||
| Theme-Based Vocabulary is a topical dictionary featuring essential themes related to areas of interest that are central to everyday life. These themes are frequently encountered through the media and concern current affairs. It is vital that students understand and are able to apply the vocabulary related to these themes. The author has incorporated example sentences and language notes to help students extend their linguistic knowledge and word power. Each theme contains a passage showing how some of the key vocabulary is actually used in a continuous piece of prose. These passages not only provide useful linguistic information, but they also provide interesting reading material and could be used as the basis for model essays. Students’ knowledge of the vocabulary acquired is further reinforced through the accompanying exercises at the end of each topic. | ||
