ENGLISH CONVERSATION


FOREWORD

Spoken English is what we expect from our children. During teaching of

English in Primary classes, I have observed that promoting English as corridor language is

a difficult task for a language teacher alone. However it is a collective effort. But certain

techniques are required to inculcate in teaching to promote this habit among student. In

this regard I have compiled set of questions which is a must for all the beginners. Drilling

of these questions with their probable answers may be of great help.

I am very much thankful to my Principal, Headmaster, colleagues, Staff and my beloved

wife motivated me to develop this Conversation Book for beginners. This book is in form

of a Work Book. Questions have been compiled from day today life. These frequently

asked questions will help student to develop their communication skills.

I hope this book will be equally useful to all the beginners.
