Test Your Reading (Penguin Joint Venture Readers)
Description
Reading is very important to heip you iearn English. It is also a lot of fun. But to learn as much as you can from reading, it is important to read different kinds of English. For example, the English you need when you read a train timetable is very different from the English you need when you read a story.This book has a lot of different kinds of English.
There are six sections in the book:
Section 1 is Messages: In this section somebody wants to send information in writing to somebody else. There is a test on menus and another on timetables. There is also a test on text messages and another on e-mails.
Section 2 is People: In this section all the tests are about people, in different ways. For example, there is an informal letter between friends. There is formal Engiish in a biography. There is a CV and a job application that you can use as models to help with your writing, as well as testing your reading.
Section 3 is Places: In this section, too, many different styles of English are shown, some informal and some formal. There is the informal English of a holiday postcard. There is also the formal English of a novel - like all the fiction extracts in the book it was written by me - and a formal letter of complaint.
Section 4 is Things: You will find some descriptive writing in this section. There are descriptions of clothes and of a computer. There are more examples of letters, includinq an informal letter thanking someone for a present. And here is a test about buying and booking on the Internet.
