UNIT 9- NEGOTIATIONS


VOCABULARY EXTENSION


CONFUSING WORDS

English can be confusing. A lot of words give us a feeling
that they have the same meaning (e.g. economy and
economies) but they actually have different meaning.
As a result, it is almost impossible to avoid making mistakes
in English. One of the best ways that can help you solve this
problem is by learning them in context.
