Pictorial and Practical English. Books 1

The



four books in this series provide a graded and comprehensive secondary



school course in English language. They cover all parts of speech and



their use, as well as spelling and the techniques required for such



tasks as form-filling and job applications. Lively prose pieces of



general interest act as the bases for exercises in comprehension and



vocabulary study, and for further reading suggestions. Each chapter



deals with a point of English usage, which can then be practised in



creative writing. A subject for this is given at the end of the chapter.



The many photographs and line drawings provide additional imaginative



stimulation. It is intended that, above all, the pupils should enjoy



acquiring familiarity with, and fluency in, written English.
