About this ebook

We have compiled these exercises as English Language Teachers in Malaysia. We have used them for our children, our friends children and our tuition students and they have scored A1 in all their examinations. Today they can converse comfortably with anyone from the US, Great Britain or Australia. We could not use these exercises fully with our classroom students because we were tied down by the constraints of the Government Syllabus and insufficient teaching time.

As fluency in spoken English is the objective of these lessons, the answers must be in oral form. Too much emphasis is on written exercises when we know that 99.9% of the words we use come from our mouth and not from our hands and pen .
