Excerpt from English for Immediate UsePupils in secondary schools are not at all interested in scholarly classifications or nomenclatures. To them, as a rule, formal rhetoric is a burden and anathema. In their actual living, aside from doing so at the com mand of teachers they seldom, if ever, sit down to write narration, description, if exposition, or argument as such. They try to make known their desires, to tell what they have seen and heard, to utter opinions and to support them, to make recitation's, to write answers in examinations, and to express them selves in other ways in actual daily living.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
