      How to Use this Book

      Welcome to this book designed to help you expand your knowledge of phrases and expressions in American English. My goal is to help you increase your vocabulary and to be able to speak and write more fluently. In this book, you'll find hundreds of English phrases that are used in boardrooms, over a meal, and with friends and family around the world.

      The best way to learn new vocabulary is in context. First, you'll see the phrases with a simple definition. Then you can see each one in a dialogue.  Finally, there are some comprehension questions to see if you've understood the dialogue.

      To get the most bang for your buck, be sure to do the following:

      −  Review frequently.

      −  Make sure to do the comprehension questions in this book (cover up the answers while you're doing them!)

      −  Use each expression or phrase in real life as soon as possible.

      −  Don't be nervous about making mistakes. That's how you'll get better at English!

      −  Consider studying with a friend so that you can help each other stay motivated.

      −  Use a notebook and write down new collocations phrases or words that you
