The book helps to transform students into sophisticated urban individuals, able to get themselves across in any situation.

The book is well-designed and expertly illustrated by a group of talented lecturers of Saint-Petersburg Institute of Cinema and Television S. Pankratova and K. Vyalyak.

Is that you can use these abbreviations.

You stop spelling words the way they ought to
