Acronyms on the internet have existed for nearly as long as the internet itself. For regularly repeated phrases, this is a handy way to type less and speed up conversation. For someone in a chat room for the first time, conversation can look like scrolling alphabet soup, and for a parent, cell phone text from a child who is well-schooled in internet acronyms can be mind boggling.
Mom: “Where are you? Dad needs the car.” Kid: “I’d B OMW but BFF wants BK AGKWE. I’ll BRT ASAP.” Mom: “WHAT?! Just call me!”
This book provides simple but extremely useful guidelines for improving oral practice in English. The text is divided into two main parts: Part 1 contains conversations based on common daily situations, while Part 2 emphasizes particular structural or lexical features of the language. This book contains a large number of exercises designed in a programmed fashion; all the words or sentences are presented at the left of the page and the expected responses are given at the right. The book is ideal for home study and would be extremely useful to all those interested in improving their conversational skills.
