Pearson – Living English Structure, Fifth Edition by W. Stannard Allen (9788131728499)

Summary Of The Book

Living English Structure (With CD) has been designed to help learners develop standard English writing and speaking capabilities. The original edition was designed as a textbook for evening adult classes, and the book is a result of years of practical experience with foreign students learning the English language.

Living English Structure (With CD) distinguishes itself from typical grammar books by being designed along the lines of the mechanics of the language and not its analytics. Typical grammar books are made as such for an English-speaking person. Living English Structure (With CD) incorporates the backbone, the structure of spoken English as observed in the educated English speaking classes.

The division of the book into levels gives the learner an opportunity to sketch his personal learning graph. The three grades followed in the book are elementary level, intermediate level, and the advanced level. The aim of the book is to provide sufficient material for the University of Cambridge proficiency in the English first level certificate examination.

The chapters in the book includes notes of auxiliary verbs, interrogatives, pronouns, tenses, and adjectives. The Certificate of Proficiency in English, also known as CPE, is an advanced general English exam conducted by the University of Cambridge. CPE is taken for the purpose of those who wish to study or work abroad. CPE is recognized by employers and universities worldwide, and hence is an objective marker of a person’s English language skills.

Living English Structure (With CD) is ripe with exercises for each level of grading. The focus is not on increasing difficulty of the vocabulary, rather on the form and structure of the language. The book comes with a CD key for the students to verify their answers to the exercise questions.
