About the Book

"Chambers Adult Learners' Thesaurus" is specially compiled to help adults develop their literacy skills. Words are clearly marked to show relative formality and examples show all the alternative words in typical contexts, so every word can be used correctly and with confidence. Particular emphasis is given to words that help people express themselves in practical writing situations, for example letters of complaint or job applications. Words that are often employed to influence or persuade us, or to create a certain mood, are also given special attention. "Chambers Adult Learners' Thesaurus" encourages the student to be aware of the power of words in all kinds of communication in the world today.
