Over 35,000 Terms, Clearly Defined.
The fully revised and updated edition of this bestselling general English Dictionary is especially useful for those working towards FCE (First Certificate Examination). This new edition includes 35,000 terms used in international English. The selection is based on the frequency with which words occur in everyday language and on analyses of the CAE (Certificate of Advanced English) exam syllabuses.
Entries include examples from everyday speech, irregular forms, derived words, differences between English and American usage, and help with confusable words (e.g. ensure and insure). Encyclopedic comments highlight historical and cultural terms (Guy Fawkes, Pancake Day) and technical terms such as the periodic table, the metric system and greenhouse gases.
