Topical Grammar Practice is a tailor-made series of six practice books for
primary students learning English as a first language and for junior high students
learning it as a foreign language. The contents closely follow the school syllabus .
Each unit covers a specific grammar point in a clear and relevant way, allowing
the young learner to practise both the use and meaning of the grammar point.
The units follow a familiar pattern of practising at both the sentence and text
levels. This is done through MCQs or choosing the correct word in sentences,
and exercises using cloze texts so that students can focus on the language itself
and not be distracted by varying methods and instructions.
Since each unit deals with a precise grammar item teachers are encouraged to
'dip into' the books at any stage to support the language item being taught in the
classroom. This way, these practice books complement the school English
lessons.
The authors strongly believe that, while the English language is the focus, the
context should be meaningful to the learners. Thus, texts have been chosen:
~~ to be cross-curricular: the texts reinforce and support what is being learnt

in other classes .
~)> to be informative and educational: the texts cover a wide range of topics
of interest to young learners, such as famous people , important places and
events, science and technology, sports , animal life, etc.
~~ to be fun: the texts include especially written stories, traditional folk and
fairy stories, quizzes and dialogues that the students could act out.
~~ to be socia.lly-responsible: the texts include discussions on the

environment and pollution, civic responsibility, etc.
Finally, in the knowledge that teachers are busy people , the series has been
designed to be 'teacher friendly' so it is unambiguous and easy to use.

Dinosaurs
Dinosaurs were large animals that lived a very long time ago. No
one has ever seen a dinosaur, but people have found very old
bones and have put them together to make a skeleton. There
were different types of dinosaur: very tall ones which ate leaves
from trees, small ones with wings that could fly, and those with
very sharp teeth, which ate other animals. We don't know what
colour they were, but we think they were brown. If we saw a
dinosaur today we would probably feel frightened because they
were so big and they could run fast too. Dinosaurs died out, but
we don't really know why.
