Preface

This book is the first edition which is expected to give many exercises for English learners to
explore their ability in speaking English. Speaking materials are provided with some expressions
and dialogues that guide learners to apply in the real conversation. This book also contains
several sections on each chapter such as pictures and listening, expressions, dialogues, exercises
and tasks.
The use of pictures is aimed to attract and stimulate the learners to speak and express their ideas
relating to the pictures given. Showing some expression may help the learners to structure their
own sentences which can be used in their conversation. Drills, one of the old methods in teaching
a foreign language, are still given to meet the needs of learners. Some examples of dialogue are
shown to invite learners’ creativity in making their own dialogue. Eventually, exercises and tasks
are made to measure the learners’ comprehensibility in using the materials taught and to evaluate
how well the learners are able to apply and adopt the material in the real conversation and
dialogue.
As the first edition, this book has many weaknesses and needs improvement in the next edition.
For example, the listening sections and role plays can be added to complete the materials for
speaking. Therefore, some advice and suggestion are welcome and waited to make this book
better. Finally, this book can guide and address the learners to achieve their expectation to
speaking English better.

following are useful expressions to do so.

I

"Can I help you?"

"Shall I open the window for you?"
