Dear friend!

Do you know the fact that in every day life we need only 1500 words. Only 1500 widely used words and we are able to discuss weather, shopping, work, traveling, cultural and political life. It means that knowing the same amount of English words and grammar material will enable you to communicate fluently on any topic.
Life in the modern society becomes more and more interesting. Every day we come across new discoveries, and new technologies come into our life. Let’s take a telephone which you used some ten years ago for an example. You cannot but agree that the device you hold in your hands nowadays is different from its. The same happens to absolutely everything: electronics, transport, construction technologies. Education also determines new approaches.
A modern student has no wish to study like his grandmothers and grandfathers. And luckily, there is no need to do it like this. Psychology and pedagogy have moved forward offering new methods of studying which take into account our psychological peculiarities. These methods are not very time consuming and make the process of studying interesting and exciting.
There are several directions in your work with “Valuable luggage...”:

Lexicon - lexical material.

Communication Skills - they include the most widely used English expressions.

Proverbs and sayings - those which are widely used by native speakers.

Dialogues- they include those words and idioms we have learned and offer new lexical material.

Texts.

Grammar notes.

Quick Psychological Support - certain psychological recommendations, which will rise your mood and prepare you for the work. Besides you will come across the first soon.
We hope that all the materials in this text-book will be not only useful but interesting and pleasant for perception.

With great respect

The teachers’ collective of “Prestige School”
