Preface
Practice Makes Perfect: English Conversation
is designed to give you practice with
the vocabulary and structures that are most often used in common types of infor­
mal conversations.
The book consists of thirteen chapters, each one devoted to a particular con­
versational function. Each chapter begins with a typical conversation followed by
a discussion of vocabulary and structures that are particularly important for the
type of conversation being addressed. Certain expressions are repeated in other
chapters so that you will become more familiar with them as they occur in differ­
ent contexts. Following the discussion section are several sets of exercises to help
you feel confident that you understand the material. The exercises also give you
practice in using new vocabulary and structures so that you will be able to include
them in your personal conversations.
Use this book, practice your English in conversations with your English-
speaking friends, and continue to enjoy this language.
