However, last day I did some excerises (for CAE exam) and I found out that you get extra points for using high-level English (in the Writing and Speaking part). All things considered, I've decided to get the book you mentioned (Longman Collocations Dictionary and Thesaurus).<br /><br />Thanks again!<br /><br />Kind regards, <br /><br />TomTomnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693740212840142934.post-13817451829486560542018-06-27T15:00:49.396+07:002018-06-27T15:00:49.396+07:00Hello Tom,
I've never read Longman Collocatio...Hello Tom,<br /><br />I've never read Longman Collocations Dictionary and Thesaurus. Nevertheless, since the area that you need to improve is collocation use, I'd pick it over Longman Language Activator, whose main contents are not collocations. Judging from my experience of using Longman products, it is definitely an excellent ELT publisher, so I believe you won't be disappointed with that book. You might also want to check Oxford Collocations Dictionary (https://www.amazon.com/Oxford-Collocations-Dictionary-Colin-McIntosh/dp/0194325385); I have a copy of it and it is such an extraordinary book for learning collocations.<br /><br />Hope this is helpful!<br /><br />Best regards,<br />KlinsmanKlinsman Hinjayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09010772970308066196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693740212840142934.post-36174911940651162872018-06-27T03:31:40.927+07:002018-06-27T03:31:40.927+07:00Dear Mr. Hinjaya,
