Spoken English: A Self-Learning Guide to Conversation Practice
What to say? How to say? This book helps you to learn by yourself English conversation and pronunciation in everyday situations such as at the bank, hotel, post-office, railway station, market place, bookshop and so on. The book is addressed to all those learners who know the structure of English but cannot communicate effectively, especially in speaking. No other qualification is necessary as a pre-condition for using the book. And the aim of the book is to improve their colloquial usage and pronunciation so that they may be able to communicate somewhat fluently, intelligibly, and optimally. Features interesting practice exercises focussing on speech functions.
In this beautiful, and deeply personal memoir, Laura Bush tells her own extraordinary story. Born in the boom-and-bust oil town of Midland, Texas, Laura Welch grew up as an only child in a family that lost three babies to miscarriage or infant death. She vividly evokes Midland's brash, rugged culture, her close relationship with her father, and the bonds of early friendships that sustain her to this day. For the first time, in heart-wrenching detail, she writes about the devastating high school car accident that left her friend Mike Douglas dead and about her decades of unspoken grief.

Ok: The Improbable Story of America's Greatest Word
It is said to be the most frequently spoken (or typed) word on the planet, more common than an infant's first word ma or the ever-present beverage Coke . It was even the first word spoken on the moon. It is "OK"-- the most ubiquitous and invisible of American expressions, one used countless times every day. Yet few of us know the secret history of OK--how it was coined, what it stood for, and the amazing extent of its influence.
