SAS & SAM English Grammar and Vocabulary Series has a number of hand-outs or Workbooks of Graded Levels of English Grammar & Vocabulary totaling more than 12 handouts which I find necessary for the Beginner, Post beginner and the Pre-College Foreign Language Learners (EFL) from the Far East, the Middle East, Europe and South America and serves as a review tool to help learners review their rules of English Grammar, improve and consolidate what they have learnt in their EFL learning process and now they prepare to pursue college education or apply for a job in today's competitive job market.Each Grammar hand-out is suitable for the level designated in the handout whereas the vocabulary hand outs are intended for the post intermediate students who have had some reasonable background of the English language.In this handout of the vocabulary exercises, a vocabulary item is used in context and a user/student is to guess the meaning of the underlined item from the context provided. The objective is to train Leila and Dave to use the clues available in the context in order to learn and establish the meaning of the vocabulary item from its surrounding. It is, therefore, meant to equip Leila, Kim, Renata and Dave with the means and enrich their language. As the user will notice, the exercises are of twenty items each and an answer key is provided at the end of each exercise of 20 items.In addition to a sufficient number of vocabulary Review Exercises, the hand-out/Workbook also contains a section especially related to students willing to pursue business and banking careers and a number of exercises have been provided for this purpose which will help the user to review, consolidate and enrich his or her vocabulary repertoire, also with an answer key provided at the end of some of the review exercise. When the student finishes the review questions that have answer keys at the end, he or she can move to the second part of 'more exercises' and answer the questions based on what he should have learnt from the answered exercises. It is for this reason that I did not supply answer sheets for some sections. The review exercises were not haphazardly written, but were the result of many years of personal involvement in program development, text and test writing, research and note-taking in order to decide which item must come in each Review Level, based on necessity and ease or difficulty. The user will, therefore, find at the beginning of each level a list of the items reviewed. This does not mean that the items may not re-appear later on as many may re-surface every-now-and then in an interesting cyclic way for consolidation, unity of topic, necessity and coherence. The journey into this workbook begins with a self- assessment that contains two exercises of 100 grammar questions each, the results of which should act as a guide to the Workbook user of how much effort he or she may have to put in reviewing the grammar rules. The Assessment exercises are a gateway to the workbook and a gateway to success in career and life.
