English Conversation At a Library
Improve English Speaking through everyday conversation At a Library .
I have written a detailed book English conversation for all occasions, to learn English as Foreign Language.
This tutorial English Conversation At a Library has been prepared from my well known book English conversation for all occasions, which I wrote for Indian students to improve everyday conversation..
English Conversation for All Occasions is a unique book of its kind, specially written to help Indian student. A quick look at the titles of the lessons would convince the reader that the book has been prepared by visualizing all types of situational conversations which may confront any man or woman in his daily activities. Whether one converses with his family members or moves about to mix in society, he will not feel tongue-tied for want of appropriate words or expressions. In a post office or barber’s shop, at a hotel or taxi stand, every person who has read this book, will be able to speak in English fluently and with confidence.
Good knowledge and satisfactory conversation drill is important in English speaking. This Tutorial would not only prove an asset to the reader in his daily life, but also on special occasions like interviews for jobs, etc. He would be able to face the interviewers with equanimity and confidence.
All the lessons have been designed in a programmed fashion. Word-meanings, Phrases and exercises have been added at the end of every lesson t
o help the students master the topics.
All the lesson should be read along, not once but many times, so that the conversation comes easy to the reader when he faces real life situations. The author would feel rewarded for his labours if the book helps men and women become social relations
This Tutoial should help all those readers who find difficulty in speaking fluent English. This will be completed in 45 lessons.

Hansa I say Reena, why is it necessary for me to be member of public library? Any way, why does the Library insist on it?
Reena It is like this. Most commercial companies insist that their employees in the management cadre should become members of leading clubs so that they get to meet a wide circle of people. In the same way, Rama’s store recommends that the personnel under training should become members of the worldwide Library, which is a public library close to the office.
Hansa What kind of books does the office expect me to readManagement cadre Executives & Trainees
Reena The idea is that besides your practical training in the various departments of the store, you should do some private reading and in depth study about the subjects that you are dealing with.
They both enter the library and go up to the desk of the chief Librarian.
Reena Good morning, Mr. kapur. This is Hansa Mehta from our store. She wants to become a member of your library.
Librarian Good morning Miss Verma. Miss Mehta, please fill in this card.
Hansa I’ll do that. Reena could you please fill in the column where I have to be introduced by another member?
