A Barron's best-seller for more than four decades, the brand-new sixth edition of 1100 Words You Need to Know has been expanded and updated with more in-context exercises. All new words for students to learn are placed in the context of sentences that have been selected from well-known novels, plays, poems, newspaper editorials, and TV broadcasts. A new feature in the sixth edition is The Lighter Touch 100, a collection of 100 funny one-liners which use words from the book that you need to know.
