Introduction
The English phrases in this book are grouped by subject and have been selected
for their directness, brevity, and relevance to the needs of newly amved residents of the
United States. Thoy are, for the most part, presented in the form of short, two-line
dialogues.
The phrases and supplementary vocabulary in the 19 units cover a wide range of
situations and serve to introduce new 'ranian residents to the dally activities of
American life. The underlined words and expressions are those which accomplish the
most important language functons of the unit. The wordlist provides terms that are most
frequently needed.
As with all phttoebooks, this one is not intended as a step-by-step textbook for
learning English. It is intended as a handy reference book for immediate use when
English pnrases or words are needed.
