Dead on Time [antikvár]

Pattern Books Pattern Books have been designed to provide fór all those learning English as a foreign or second language a series of good graded texts fór reading and comprehension. Somé of the texts chosen are abridged and modified versions of well-known books by authors of the pást and present. Other texts have been specially written fór this series. At all levels-Beginners', Intermediate and Advanced-the texts have been graded both in vocabulary and sentence structure. The vocabulary has as its generál basis the General Service List of English Words by Michael West (1953). New words, nőt included in Dr. West's list, have been added in each text and these will be found at the end of the books. In the Beginners' books sentence forms have been almost entirely restricted to the one-verb pattern. The Intermediate and Advanced books gradually introduce the foreign reader to more advanced structures and structural patterns.
