Specificatii
Anyone wishing to communicate or
read in American English should have an active knowledge of the
most popular American proverbs. Proverbs are an important part of
the American cultural heritage. The person who does not acquire
competence in using proverbs will be limited in conversation; will
have difficulty comprehending a wide variety of media - printed
matter, radio, television, songs, advertisements, comics and
cartoons - and will not understand anti-proverbs or proverb
transformations, which presuppose a familiarity with a stock
proverb. The book Practice Makes Perfect: Workbook of English and
American Proverbs for Students helps familiarize the reader with
more than 450 proverbs frequently used in American English and
British English today. The main intent of the book is not merely to
provide the language learner with a list of some commonly used
proverbs to memorize per se but to provide a series of activities
and exercises as well that help the learner discover what each
proverb means and how to apply it in particular situations. The
book also focuses on proverb humor: the reader will find a number
of jokes, fables, twists and parodies based on familiar proverbs.
The book is directed towards the student of English, the teacher,
the folklorist, the linguist, and anyone interested in entering the
magical world where proverbs, stories and humor overlap. The book
is developed and designed for independent learning. The book
Practice Makes Perfect: Workbook of English and American Proverbs
for Students consists of 18 units arranged in three parts, each
consisting of six units and a test. It covers the main concerns of
proverbs, e.g., money and love, knowledge and wisdom, children and
parents, speech and silence, words and deeds, necessity and
adversity. Three tests, given at the end of each part, help readers
to check their acquisition of the proverbial material. Anna T.
