How It Helps Your Business English

What this resource offers:

The page sets out more than one hundred and sixty marketing terms and expressions in alphabetical order, among them brand equity, market share, point of sale, product placement and target audience. Study notes follow the list and explain that many of the entries are collocations, usually an adjective with a noun, and show four of them in sentences taken from working life.

How to use this resource:

You work down the list a dozen terms at a time, marking the ones you have met and the ones you have not, and you read the study notes before the list so that the pairings stand out as you go. Writing your own sentence for each new expression, on the model of the four at the foot of the page, is what fixes it. The sheet then serves as the list you check a term against while you write.
