Enrich your English [antikvár]

PREFACE This book is designed to strengthen vocabulary by means oi a variety of exercises. It is the result of collecting somé of the exercises I have used during the last fifteen years, a.In Secondary (now Grammar) Schools in England (preparing pupils for the School Certificate Examination and Civil Service Examinations); b.In an Evening Institute abroad (teaching students of all ages and several nationalities); and c.In a foreign University (teaching the language to firstyear students and as subsidiary subject in other years to students taking other main subjects). There are twenty-five Sections in the book, each divided into Part A and Part B. Part A. This part includes exercises such as: 1.Defmitions in which a single sentence is required. 2.Descriptions of common objects, in which a word limit is fixed (length variable at discretion of teacher). 3.Dialogue. 4.Idiomatic expressions. 5.Letter writing. 6.Essays. (Here again the length can be varied. Should the essay given prove quite unsuitable, an alternative can be taken from additional list at the end.) Part B. The extracts in Part B are from a wide rangé of wellknown authors (sixteenth century to the present day), a list of whom is given at the end. Exercises on these passages are: 1.A précis. (Length can be varied at will.) 2.Vocabulary. vii
