Author Description

The book is divided into three parts comprised of overall 35 chapters. Part one contains Grammar, part two – Aids to Vocabulary, and part three – Writing Skills. • The section dealing with Grammar is in double color. The points given in pink color suggest importance or emphasis, so they need attention and will help you to understand quickly and easily. These points are further highlighted with arrows. • Text printed on-screen suggests points likely to misunderstand. Sometimes they explain subtle distinctions between two apparently similar points. • Grammar items are discussed very systematically – one at a time. Plentiful illustrations are followed by carefully designed exercises. • There is an exhaustive section dealing exclusively with Multiple choice questions covering all the areas of Grammar as well as Vocabulary. It will help to get familiar with the latest evaluation pattern. • The chapter on vocabulary is adequate and it has been kept within manageable proportions. • The chapter on Precis writing under the section Writing Skills contains a large number of solved examples, which fully explain how to analyze a passage, how to prepare a rough draft and then turn out a good readable and adequate final precis. They are followed by passages provided with aids to vocabulary and detailed outlines. The passages selected for precis writing cover a wide range of interests and have been carefully graded. • There is a comprehensive section on letter writing covering personal, business, and official correspondence. While it explains the requisites of the good letter—its style, layout – it also provides a number of model letters for quick guidance
