BLEIBEN SIE AUF DEM MITTLEREN ENGLISCHNIVEAU STECKEN?MÖCHTEN SIE AUSBRECHEN UND BEGINNEN, SICH SCHNELL ZU VERBESSERN? Dann ist hier das perfekte Buch, um Ihnen zu helfen, sich zum fortgeschrittenen Niveau zu bewegen und zu beginnen, Alltagsenglisch fließend zu verwenden. Die 500 Sätze in diesem Buch werden Ihnen helfen, den Sprung vom mittleren zum fortgeschrittenen Englisch zu machen. Warum habe ich dieses Buch geschrieben?Nach Jahren des Unterrichtens mittlerer Schüler, die nie aussahen, als wenn sie sich verbesserten, entschied ich herauszufinden, was das Problem war. Im Grunde bleiben mittlere Schüler stecken, weil ihre Art zu Lernen auf dieser Stufe eine andere ist als auf der Anfängerstufe. Sie beherrschen die Grammatik und die grundlegenden Vokabeln, aber die meisten Sachbücher machen einfach weiter, als wenn sich nichts geändert hätte. Allerdings benötigen Sie auf der mittleren Stufe keine trockene Grammatik und Vokabellisten mehr, sondern Sie müssen so viel „echtem Englisch" in so vielen „echten" Situationen wie möglich ausgesetzt sein. Das wird Ihnen helfen, das zu verstehen, was Leute wirklich sagen und nicht nur „Lehrbuchenglisch". Es wird Ihnen ebenfalls helfen, ein „Gefühl" für die Sprache zu bekommen. Da ich kein Buch finden konnte, das alltägliche englische Sätze auf eine lustige und ermutigende Art vorstellte, entschied ich, selbst eins zu schreiben. Wie wird Ihnen dieses Buch helfen?Jeder neue Satz wird im echten Kontext einer Kurzgeschichte oder eines Artikels vorgestellt. Also lernen Sie auf natürliche Art, während Sie Spaß haben und etwas Interessantes lesen. Es ist einfach; Wenn Sie Spaß haben, lernen Sie schneller und einfacher. Dieses Buch ist eine exzellente Art, „echten Sätzen des Alltagsenglisch" ausgesetzt zu sein, mit der Hilfe deutlicher Erklärungen und Beispiele in einfachem Englisch. Im Wesentlichen nutzt es einfache Sprache, um komplexere Sätze einzuführen, sodass Ihnen auf ein höheres Niveau geholfen wird. Alle Sätze in diesem Buch werden allgemein verwendet und sind der Schlüssel zu fließendem Sprechen. Ich habe nur Sätze eingefügt, die ich kürzlich in Gesprächen oder im Radio oder Fernsehen gehört habe. Wenn es in diesem Buch ist, dann wird es allgemein verwendet.

Do You Feel Stuck in the Intermediate English Level? Do you want to break out and start improving quickly?Then this is the perfect book to help you move up to the advanced level and start using everyday English fluently. The 500 phrases in this book will help you make the leap from intermediate to advanced.What made me want to write this book?After years of teaching intermediate students who never seemed to improve I decided to find out what the problem was. Essentially, intermediate students get stuck because learning at this stage is a different type of learning than at the beginner stage. You have mastered the grammar and the basic vocabulary but most textbooks just carry on like nothing has changed. However, what you need at the intermediate stage is not just more dry grammar and lists of vocabulary, but to be exposed to as much ''real'' English in as many ''real-life'' situations as possible. This will help you start to understand what people are actually saying and not just ''textbook'' English. It will also help you to naturally ''get a feel'' for the language. Because I could not find a book that introduced everyday English phrases in a fun and engaging way I decided to write one myself.How will this book help you?Every new phrase is introduced in the real context of a short story or an article. So by having fun and reading something interesting you will be learning naturally rather than having to force yourself to study. It''s a simple fact that if you are having fun you will learn quicker and more easily.This book is an excellent way to be exposed to ''real everyday English phrases'' but with the guidance of clear explanations and examples in simple English. Basically it uses simple language to introduce more complex phrases so you are eased into a more advanced level.All of the phrases in this book are in common use and are the key to unlocking fluency. I have only included phrases which I have heard recently in conversation or on the radio or television. If it is in this book it is in everyday use.So, if you are sick of being stuck and want to improve in a fun and engaging way, this is the perfect solution for you.

Until 1971, female victims of domestic violence were expected to 'kiss and make up' with their husbands, hide their black eyes and bruises, and bear the shame that somehow their partners' brutality was their fault. Chiswick Women's Aid was Europe's first ever refuge for what were then called 'battered women', and Jenny Smith was one of the first females who bravely made their way to this much-needed safe house. Desperate, and in fear for her life and the welfare of her two small children, Jenny had fled her dangerously schizophrenic partner, carrying only a few possessions. In the Chiswick shelter, founded by famous women's rights campaigner Erin Pizzey, Jenny found other women in the same position, all with harrowing, extraordinary stories to tell. Amenities were basic, but the respect, kindness and humanity of the community would help to give Jenny a new lease of life and strength. When the safe house came under threat of closure, she lobbied parliament and drove across Europe in a convoy of women in camper vans to raise awareness of their plight. Jenny's story is a slice of social history that begins in a Derbyshire mining village in the 1950s and takes the reader to inner city of Hackney in the 1960s, and Jenny's heart-breaking journey to the refuge. The house was the subject of a famous documentary, Scream Quietly or the Neighbours Will Hear, which, when first broadcast in 1974, sent shockwaves through the UK. Jenny was one of the first women to break a taboo by speaking publicly about domestic abuse. With the new start afforded her by the refuge, Jenny went on to find love, have another child and work as a foster carer.
