Words at Work
Words at Work is a powerful resource for learners who want to expand their vocabulary in order to use English more effectively in a general Business English context. The 17 task-based units cover a range of essential topics, from Company organisation and Advertising to Finance and Information systems. The introduction unit on learning vocabulary successfully gives learners good ideas on techniques for remembering more words. The index also provides a way in to the specific vocabulary area they want to focus on. Words at Work is accompanied by a listening cassette. Every unit contains at least one listening task and one pronunciation task, to give learners the opportunity to hear and practise the vocabulary as well as see it. Words at Work is completely self-contained, with an answer key, tapescripts and an index with phonetic transcriptions, and can be used by learners working on their own.
Armoured Guardsman
“A rare treat: a well-written account of what it was like to serve as a junior rank in the Brigade of Guards during the Second World War.” —The Guards Magazine The outbreak of World War II brought many changes to Britain’s Brigade of Guards. The dress-parade units had always maintained a full combat capacity and made a relatively easy transition into a new unit, the Guards Armoured Division. The Guards landed in Normandy on 26 June 1944 and steadily fought their way across northern Europe. Robert Boscawen was a tank commander in the 1st Coldstream Guards and had four tanks shot from under him. On the fourth occasion he was badly wounded and burned, making a difficult postwar recovery. The years after the war, however, also brought both business and political success, culminating in a twenty-three-year career in Parliament. Boscawen’s account of Britain’s elite at war is based on his wartime diaries. “Tells the author’s story in a most readable yet matter-of-fact way. It is one of the finest accounts of armoured warfare that I have ever read and I have no hesitation in recommending it to anyone who has not.” —Tank Regiment Magazine
