English for Social Interaction : Social Expressions (P)
ผู้เขียน Betty Kirkpatrick Ma
The English for Social Interaction series is intended to help foreign learners acquire spoken English skills so that they can engage in fluent communication. Social Expressions presents a series of 30 passages, dealing each with a situation that is commonly found in the course of everyday life. For example, the passage may be about shopping, or going out for a meal, visiting the doctor, and so on. The key expressions are explained, supported by example sentences and, where relevant, Language Help notes. Exercises with accompanying answers are also included for self-testing.
