Product Description
Product Description
Used wherever the English Language is spoken or taught, New First Aid in English has proved invaluable in class and as a reference book, both to native English speakers and to students of English as a second language. Covering vocabulary, spelling, syntax, idiom and correct usage it provides the background information needed plus a wide range of exercises to test knowledge and skills. This second edition retains the structure and approach of the previous edition but has been produced to ensure that all the terms and information are up to date and reflect the international readership of the book.

Format:Paperback
I used this book in school, and even though it is not required by my son's school, I think it is an easy way for him to grasp the rules so necessary for anyone to have a good concept of the english language. Any child would benefit from this book. Parent should get it as a backup for their children. English homework won't be so hard anymore.

My first throes with the preliminary academics of the English language happened when I was about 5 years of age. Mother insisted that I study off "The First Aid in English" - I obviously returned menacing looks! Since then, I have referred to this book a million and one times when writing reports, articles, and short stories. I think it is a "must have" for anyone who wants to learn English well. Enjoy!

Format:Paperback
First Aid in English books have been around for years - I've got copies of the other versions (from about the 70s onwards), and I thought it necessary to buy an up-to-date version to help me with my reports (I am studying media). The book exceeded my expectations, and it is VITAL for anyone studying at school, or any parents who want to help their children. At such a low price, why haven't you got one already?!
