CONVERSATION FOR ALL OCCASIONS NATALIE XUN VNA CHU HONG YN CHU VN HNG HONG Preface/Li M u This book is a comprehensive English conversation, comprehension, and grammar text all rolled into one, suitable for students who are able to write decently and would like to work on English pronunciation and speaking skills. Students can both read and listen to English using the accompanying CD recording of every written dialogue. After each conversation, there are exercises for students to test their understanding of what was said in each conversation, as well as exercises for students to practice using key phrases and using correct grammar. There are a variety of different conversational topics included in this book that are designed to help prepare students for different situations they may encounter in daily life where they will interact with English speaking people, whether it be in school, at work, or even at a doctors office. These conversations will provide students with more exposure to the American culture because they reflect aspects of the American life. One thing to note is that although abbreviations of words are commonly used in conversations, this book will not use abbreviations in order to show students the proper tenses that should be used in sentences. Abbreviations are only used when it is most necessary to avoid awkwardness in the sentence. A great deal of thought and effort was put into the production of this book and we are proud to present it in the hope that it will aid students in their quest to gain proficiency in English, both written and spoken. From the bottom of our hearts, we wish each and every one of our readers the best of luck in all their endeavors and remember, practice is key!
