The tutorial is aimed at those who wish to systematize their existing knowledge of English and improve their speech skills. The manual is based on the thematic principle. Each of the 19 sections contains text, a dictionary that includes expressions, micro-dialogues and detailed dialogues, lexical, grammatical, speech exercises, as well as a grammar reference. Every three (final - four) sections are completed with a review test to check the mastery of lexical and grammatical material in these sections. The system of exercises designed to work on a specific topic is developed taking into account the communicative orientation of the manual. The principle of communicativity is preserved in most grammatical exercises, which makes it possible to train a given language model in natural speech conditions. The educational material and exercise system will help students overcome the barrier to speech communication and improve their English proficiency.
