What does "to reach a stalemate" mean and how is it used? What expression can be used to "state a condition"? Organized as a well-indexed thesaurus, this book can be used to answer both these kinds of questions. It also contains a broad range of exercises to practise idioms in natural business situations. Each entry for the 200 selected idioms gives a definition and a variety of contexts in which earlier expressions are also recycled and reinforced. The contextualized exercises follow a business storyline, and offer practice in understanding and using business idioms. The book also features: reference sections for the most common business expressions classified by usage; definitions and multiple examples for each entry; practice sections that set idioms in the context of an on-going business scenario; and an answer key. The book can be used as a course book, as the lexical module of a course or as self-study material. It is also suitable for intermediate to advanced learners of business English.
