Today we focused on collocations which were connected to our own subject. At the same time we need to be sensitive to academic writing which means they have academic vocabulary and collocations.
For Steve homework, I have read the following article from Guardian and used Gapmaker.

Verb + noun collocations
to batter(break) sales of something
to reveal(announce) profits
to slash(cut, plow) profit forecasts
to make similar moves
to be factored in something = They should be factored into the supplementary budget, if there are measures that must be taken quickly to help the economy.
Adjective + noun collocations
the chronic(long-term) slump
mounting concern
global financial crisis
major exporters
