The English All Around Us A (basic level) textbook is designed to give English students practice in question types appearing on the TOEIC, and in general English vocabulary and phrases that are useful for TOEIC preparation. The eighteen units in this book cover general topics that relate to those found on the TOEIC. The topics covered in English All Around Us A are: Daily Life, Letters, Festivals, Stories, Accidents, Health, Holidays, Food & Drink, Natural Environment, Travel, and Education. The test questions used in English All Around Us A are derived from the topics covered in each unit. However, students preparing for the TOEIC should remember that they are not required to know specialized business and technical vocabulary. Accordingly, English All Around Us A is intended not only to teach vocabulary and phrases, but also to create, through reading passages, larger contexts where students will need to think about and respond to the topics herein.
