Discussion

A. The straightness of the book

 1. Book 1
Very easy to understand, very clear understanding and very simple and very
useful use. This book is also suitable for everyone who wants to learn formulas or
patterns in English.
2. Book 2
Everyone who learns English must have a main goal to be able to speak
English. Not only do you want to look cool, but now this ability is really needed.
Unfortunately, so far, books about speaking – usually called conversations, mostly
only present examples of conversations without any instructions on how to quickly
speak English. Broadly speaking, this book contains two discussions, namely tips
for learning speaking and learning models for speaking. Tips for learning speaking
include things you should do outside of class to improve your English skills.
Meanwhile, the speaking learning model explains learning and teaching speaking
activities in the classroom to make it fun and effective. This is the book you need
to speak fluent English.

little less attention-grabbing where the image design on the cover is less
conspicuous coupled with a dark background. There are words that are a little
vulgar/sadistic in the Preface. Other than that all good.
