Vocabulary At Your Fingertips by M. C. Sreevalsan
Book Summary:
The more words you know, the better you are able to communicate. So that others are able to understand exactly what you mean, you need to pick up your words precisely. This develops others´ trust and confidence in you, as also strengthens your own confidence in yourself.
The author´s earlier book "Spoken English — A Hands-on Guide to English Conversation Practice" that became a bestseller in the very first year of its release, is already helping students attain fluency in speech. The present book teaches the use of appropriate words in everyday situations. It is meant for those who can already read, understand and write English well.
The exercises in the book have been so designed that you may guess the meanings of words introduced from their context. A series of subsequent exercises on the same words help you to reinforce and ingrain them in your mind so that you are able to recall them quickly and at will.
