How to benefit most from these online exercises?

You can do the exercises as end-of-unit self-tests, relying only on your current knowledge of business and economic lexis. Repeat the tests till you are satisfied with your performance!

The exercises are also well-suited for revision and remedial purposes. While going through the exercises, use your Business Studies book, partnership words, dictionaries, etc. Don't forget to jot down interesting points, copy useful partners and check meanings.

There is some research to suggest that working in pairs creates more effective e-learning opportunities than working on your own. So, why not pair up with a fellow student and "think and talk" your way through the exercises together? And since you're at it, why not try and use English as well?

Good luck and enjoy!
