Although it’s possible to communicate successfully with incorrect collocations, using collocations correctly can help you speak more fluently.  \nI suggest completing one lesson in this book per day, but of course you can study at your own pace. Always do the quiz after each lesson…this is essential to review and practice what you’ve learned! The answers are at the end of the book.  \nAt the end of each audio file, there’s an opportunity for you to listen to and repeat the collocations. If you’re really short on time, you can skip that part – but it’s nice for practicing your pronunciation, as well as reinforcing the phrase in your memory.  \nAs an additional exercise, I recommend creating your own example sentences with a few of the collocations from each lesson. Try to make them as “personal” as possible, as this helps you remember the expressions better.  \nIf you have any questions, doubts, comments, etc., you can send me an e-mail at  \n[help@espressoenglish.net](help@espressoenglish.net)  \nHappy studying!  \nShayna Oliveira  \n[EspressoEnglish.net](EspressoEnglish.net)  \n1000 English Collocations in 10 Minutes a Day © Shayna Oliveira 2013  \nLesson 1 – Family  \nLet’s begin our study of collocations by learning some common expressions about the family. Your parents and siblings (brothers and sisters) are your immediate family – and your extended family includes all your relatives – uncles, cousins, great-aunts, etc.  \nYou can use a family tree to diagram the relationships among your family members. A person who is related to you by a long series of connections can be called a distant relative.  \nIf you’re lucky, you have a loving family or a close-knit family – these expressions refer to a family that has good relationships, where everyone loves each other and helps each other. If you were raised in a loving family, then you probably had a carefree childhood – that means you had nothing to worry about when you were young.  \nOn the other hand, a family in which the relationships are bad or unhealthy can be called a dysfunctional family. If the children experience abuse, poverty, or problems with the law, we can say they had a troubled childhood.  \nPerhaps the parents went through a bitter divorce – that means a separation in which there were bad/angry feelings between the husband and wife. It’s also possible to have a messy divorce, with a prolonged legal battle involving lots of conflicts about the separation of the former couple’s assets (money and possessions) . The decisions about the separation of assets are made in the divorce settlement. A family in which there are divorces or separations is sometimes called a broken home.  \nSometimes the mother and father fight over custody of the children – that refers to who has the primary responsibility of caring for the kids. A judge can grant joint custody – that means the exhusband and ex-wife share the responsibility – or sole custody to only one parent. For example, a judge might award sole custody to the mother, and the father has to pay child support – regular payments to help with expenses for the kids.  \nIf it was a mutual divorce/separation – that means the ex-husband and ex-wife agreed to separate without fighting – then they will probably stay on good terms with each other (meaning to have a polite relationship without conflicts) .  \nIf a woman gets pregnant without being married or in a relationship","cbCaiieCrELz7OPp","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiieCrELz7OPp","pdf",1350014,128,"English","# Introduction\n# Lesson 1 - Family\n## Lesson 1 Quiz","[{\"question\":\"What are collocations and why are they important?\",\"answer\":\"Collocations are typical or common combinations of words used together.
