      About the Author: Jackie Bolen

      I taught English in South Korea for 10 years to every level and type of student. I've taught every age from kindergarten kids to adults. Most of my time has centered around teaching at two universities in Cheonan and Busan. These days, I'm teaching teenagers and adults in Vancouver, Canada. In my spare time, you can usually find me outside surfing, biking, hiking, or snowshoeing.

      In case you were wondering what my academic qualifications are, I hold a Master of Arts in Psychology. During my time in Korea I successfully completed both the Cambridge CELTA and DELTA certification programs. With the combination of almost 15 years teaching ESL/EFL learners of all ages and levels, and the more formal teaching qualifications I've obtained, I have a solid foundation on which to offer advice to English learners.

      I hope that you find this book useful. I would love it if you sent me an email with any questions or feedback that you might have.

      How to Use this Book

      Welcome to this book designed to help you expand your knowledge of collocations in American English. My goal is to help you increase your vocabulary and to be able to speak and write more fluently.

      Simply put, collocations are words that occur together more frequently than random chance. For example, we often say fast food and quick shower but not quick food and fast shower. Using them during writing and speaking will help your English sound more natural.

      Collocations can be difficult to master, even for the best students. In this book, you'll find hundreds of English collocations 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. That's why I've introduced each one in a dialogue. Then, you'll find a simple definition in plain English. Finally, there is a practice opportunity so that you can review what you've learned.

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

      −  Review frequently.

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

      −  Use each collocation 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
