'It's an interesting job,' says Sally about her work at Happy Hills. And today is a very exciting day because Zapp the famous singer is coming. Everybody is having a wonderful time. But suddenly something goes wrong - very wrong.
This cheerful book, full of gentle humour, is that rare item, a genuine beginner's course which starts at the beginning and appeals to learners of all ages. English for Beginners presents a vocabulary of approximately 1000 headwords, mostly very useful but occasionally proudly, magnificently useless unless the reader associates with gnomes, iguanas and pterodactyls. Meet Professor English and his friends Kit the cat and Max the mouse. Meet Barbara the taxi driver, her boyfriend Tim and her passenger Mr Duncan. Without getting bogged down in boring terminology or dry and dusty academic explanations, English for Beginners teaches all that is needed for a solid grasp of the language. It kicks off with 'Hello!' and ends with the story of 'The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse' using the present continuous and simple, past simple, future continuous and present perfect tenses. In other words, students who have followed Professor English's advice ('Half an hour a day is good. An hour a day is very good.') are beginners no longer.
