Covering the writing waterfront-from basics on verb tense to the value of forming a "support group"-Poynter Institute vice president Clark offers tips, tricks and techniques for anyone putting fingers to keyboard. The best assets in Clark's book are in the "workshop" sections that conclude each chapter and list strategies for incorporating the material covered in each lesson (minimize adverbs, use active verbs, read your work aloud). Though some suggestions are classroom campy ("Listen to song lyrics to hear how the language moves on the ladder of abstraction" and "With some friends, take a big piece of chart paper and with colored markers draw a diagram of your writing process"), Clark's blend of instruction and exercise will prove especially useful for teachers. One exercise, for instance, suggests reading the newspaper and marking the location of subjects and verbs. Another provides a close reading of a passage from The Postman Always Rings Twice to look at the ways word placement and sentence structure can add punch to prose. Clark doesn't intend his guide to be a replacement for classic style guides like Elements of Style, but as a companion volume, it does the trick.

《商务英语情景口语100主题》一书，则旨在帮助学习者适应多话题、深层次的商务英语交流。首先，丰富的主题、海量的对话再现原生态的商务语境。翻开这本小16开400多页的书，100个主题、200组大篇幅对话，再加上词汇、短语，以及按初、中、高级排列的句子会让人有密不透风之感。实际上，在一个贯穿着英语语流的商务环境中，这种语言的压力会更加强大。本书 “强迫”读者进入原生态的商务场境，通过密集的语流刺激让读者掌握各种场景下的沟通方式。 其二，真实的语言让你学会圈中人的行话。对话的语言秉承真实、地道的原则，生词、难词很少，但加入了大量英美职场耳熟能详，而一般读者并不熟悉的固定表达法。其中大多数一看就会，并能迅速派上用场。比如mountain of work（一堆工作），cover a lot of points（涉及许多要点），take off like a rocket（急速上升），do one’s homework（做准备），outside the scope（在范围之外），no time to lose（抓紧时间），better safe than sorry（宁愿稳妥免致后悔），spill the beans（泄密），have a legal arm（拥有法律武器），take the blame（承担过失），get things on track（走向正轨），等等。 其三，深入的对话让你纵观职场心态。借助深入细致的对话，此书得以能够揭示英美职场人士的思维方式和情感方式。这对于学习者沟通技巧的提高，不亚于语言功夫。比如怎么应对客户的过分要求、怎么应对过于亲热地法国式问候、怎么谈论办公室恋情、怎么评价部门之间和同事之间的竞争，等等。这本书因此超越了语言的范畴，比较全面地反映了公司内外环境和办公室政治的方方面面。 其四，灵活的方式让你自主学习。无论用于课堂教学还是自学，此书都具有相当大的伸展度和灵活性。全部对话都配有MP3。读者可以根据自身的学习目的和喜好的学习方式，有选择地进行口语、听力、语音、听写、口笔译、词汇等各种练习。 最后，作者的实力值得一提。本书作者，美国人Amanda Crandell Ju女士在国际商务领域拥有相当丰富的从业经验，曾供职于广播电台、纸质新闻媒体、美国国会山联邦政府，近期专攻市场营销与品牌合并。她曾在北京一家著名的英语教学机构担任口语教师，非常了解中国的职业人士在语言和沟通方式上的疑惑，因此，她的这本书尤其强调了中国读者应当关注的商务沟通惯例。

This completely revised and expanded edition of English Prepositions Explained (EPE), originally published in 1998, covers approximately 100 simple, compound, and phrasal English prepositions of space and time – with the focus being on short prepositions such as at, by, in, and on. Its target readership includes teachers of ESOL, pre-service translators and interpreters, undergraduates in English linguistics programs, studious advanced learners and users of English, and anyone who is inquisitive about the English language. The overall aim is to explain how and why meaning changes when one preposition is swapped for another in the same context. While retaining most of the structure of the original, this edition says more about more prepositions. It includes many more figures – virtually all new. The exposition draws on recent research, and is substantially founded on evidence from digitalized corpora, including frequency data. EPE gives information and insights that will not be found in dictionaries and grammar handbooks.
