Introduction
For the student

For the teacher

Welcome to Just Vocabulory Vou can use thisbook with

other students and a teacher, or you can work alone with it.
In this book you will find 16 units. Each unit has a section
on useful vocabulary (with pictures, texts and explanations).
There is then a section on language 'functions' (that means
conversational English for use in many different situations).
In the 'functions' sections you will learn how to say things.
There is an accompanying CD to help you with the many
dialogues and pronunciation exercises in the book. Where
you see the symbol (,,,")) it means that you can listen to
the CD. Vou will also find an Audioscript at the back of the
book which containsall the language on the CD.
When you see this symbol (
) it means that the
answers to the practice exercises are in theAnswer key at the
back of the book. Vou can check youranswers there.
We hope that this book helps you progress in English, and,
above all, that you enjoy using it.

This book is part of a series designed to be used alone or to

supplement any course book you may be using. Each book in
the series specialises in either language skills or aspects of the
English language. It can be used either in class or by students
worki ng on their own.
Just Vocabulary consists of 16 units. Each unit is divided
into two sections. In the first section, vocabulary for a va riety
of topic areas is introduced and practised. Topics include jobs
and work, public transport, and giving and receiving. There
are also units on two-word nouns and phrasa l verbs etc.
The second section concentrates on functiona l areas such as
expressing preference, asking for and giving advice, and
apologising.
All thedialogue and pronunciation material has been
recorded onto the CD, and there is an Audioscript at the back
of the book.
Students will be able to use the book without needing
explanation or guidance on the part of the teacher, and they
can check their work in the com prehensive Answer key at the
back of the book. However, the units arealso highly
appropriate for work in class.
We hope you find this book a real asset and that you will
also try the other books in the series: Just Reading and
Writing, Just Grammar and Just Ustening andSpeaking.
