This is a book with successful track record of teaching to speak English with great confidence and style. It provides all the necessary material for conversation practice. 
Lessons have been prepared by picking up familiar topics and creating extended dialogues based on everyday situations. The exercise after each lesson provides a variety of sentence patterns, word lists, grammatical intricacies, subtle variations in word/phrase meanings, with their usage in different situations, and showcases the multiple ways of saying the same thing. These also provide ample hands-on practice through fill-in-the-blanks exercises. There is also a pronunciation guide with short notes on stress and rhythm.

At the end of the book there is a treasure trove in the form of:
• an alert against words often confused between • words that are always used in their plural form • uncountable nouns • words that are often misspelt • words that are often mispronounced • exercises to equip you against common mistakes that are often made
In the fourth edition, some more expressions have been included that are now becoming popular. The book is thus much richer in expressions and dialogues, and is in a more attractive format.

• An exhaustive section on practice exercises after each conversation
• Carefully selected grammar and usage tips with additional expressions
• Aural-oral drills for correct pronunciation and to attain fluency
