Essential Grammar in Use, Murphy R., 2015.

   This is a grammar book for elementary students of English. There are 115 units in the book and each unit is about a different point of English grammar. There is a list of units at the beginning of the book (Contents).
The book is for elementary learners, i.e. learners with very little English, but not for complete beginners. It is intended mainly for elementary students who are beyond the early stages of a beginners' course. It could also be used by low-intermediate learners whose grammar is weaker than other aspects of their English or who have problems with particular areas of basic grammar.

English Collocations In Use, Intermediate, McCarthy M., ODell F., 2017.

   The collocations presented in this book were mainly selected from those identified as significant by the Cambridge International Corpus of written and spoken English (now known as the Cambridge English Corpus) and also the CANCODE corpus of spoken English, developed at the University of Nottingham in association with Cambridge University Press. The Cambridge English Corpus is a vast database of real English taken from a range of sources, such as books, newspapers, advertising, letters and emails, websites, conversations and speeches, radio and television. By studying this corpus we obtained a representative picture of how English is really used and which words naturally and frequently go together. We also made much use of the Cambridge Learner Corpus, a corpus of learner English made up of exam scripts from students taking Cambridge English examinations all over the world. This particular corpus showed us what kind of collocation errors learners tend to make.

English Grammar, Grammar & vocabulary exercises for intermediate students, Melvin J., 2016.   

About the book Aimed at late intermediate/early upper intermediate English language students with the main focus on vocabulary building. Word formation is one of the key elements in all English language exams. It is an important component in vocabulary building. By improving your vocabulary you become equipped with the ability to enhance your speaking and writing abilities. Being able to distinguish the parts of speech is essential in the word formation exercises. This will also enable you to begin to recognise sentence patterns - an indispensable requirement when it comes to advancing in your studies. Basic sentence structure is also dealt with in the book. Learn how to form longer sentences correctly. Too many learners are writing in distorted English due to a direct translation from their own language. Begin to become familiar with sentence patterns in order to improve writing and speaking skills. The book also includes plenty of grammar exercises for those of you who like to freshen up on grammar. Continuous revision of the main grammar points is always an excellent idea at any level of English, especially for those of you who do not live in an English speaking country. It is all too easy to forget if you do not practise. Practice makes perfect. About the author Jacqueline Melvin is a certified ESL teacher of English as a foreign language.

Big science 4, Students book.

Фрагмент из книги.
The pull of gravity on an object gives an object its weight. An object’s weight depends on where it is. When the pull of gravity is weaker, the object’s weight is less. For example, the moon has less gravity than Earth. So, you weigh less on the moon. The pull of gravity is also less the farther you are from Earth’s center. So, you weigh less on a mountaintop than in a valley.
